Story:
I have been the last couple of days researching and trying to root, custom rom the device. Not being fluent in what I'm doing it has taken me a long time, but I was pleased to say I got rooted and have flashroot and SuperSU installed and felt I was moving forward. With that, it felt like a good days work was done and this afternoon I powered down the unit. :D
I had during/previously disabled the system update pending but to my surprise, some time later this afternoon, with the device powered down, the unit booted up and was installing at 25% by the time I noticed of said unwanted update. I ripped out the battery and saved myself an irksome update.
Facts surrounding the phone prior to this: I had left the phone in Wifi mode without a SIM while I rooted the device.
I'm now stuck with a device that will only boot in Recovery Mode straight to 25% of the update or boot it into Odin Mode. The good news is the device was rooted. I have nothing precious on the device so I'm happy to flash the device from here but I'm still not clear what steps I need to do from where I am. Would I need to install a new bootloader?
I am unbiased about which custom ROM to use, but from my days trawling these threads the ones that seems most straight forward either been closed/superseded, or have been replaced by something else that doesn't support my device or are offering me more bling than I care for. Could someone point me where to go from here?
Before replying please take time and consider people like me who have spent hours trying to find articles that aren't time wasters so many great articles are sabotaged by tonnes of junky replies and trolly comments about "read the FAQ" or pointing to obnoxious links to unrelated or out of date threads.
