Kies strikes again
The only option open to you is to debrand if this is urgent
you can put the vodafone firmware on but you need to follow the debranding guide
But you need to see if you can put the phone in to service mode
Take out the battery leave foir thirty secounds
place battery back in
Press and hold the Volume up and home button at the same time
Now press the power button and wait and see if the Galaxy logo shows then let go of the power
it should all being well go in to service mode now from there you can try a factory reset but it may not work
If this does not work then you can do the debranding
As your phone is bricked you have nothing to loose and will fix your phone
follow the guides i have put links to the firmware you need as well

Personally I would stay away from Kies due to it being unstable. If you follow my guides in the 2 videos then you wont loose your warranty.
In this video I explain how to recover your phone. To get in to download mode press and hold Vol down, Home key then followed by the power button. This should put your phone back in to download mode.
Once you have watched this you will need to download the required files which I have prepared for you
- Stock Vodafone Rom JV9 including Odin tool = Here
- 7 Zip (you will need this to unzip the download) = 7 Zip
Quick guide:
- Download above files
- Open Odin
- Put tar file in to the PDA field
- Put phone in to download mode
- Connect phone to PC
- Com port in odin will turn yellow
- Click start and flash the stock Vodafone firmware
- Your done!
Here is another video of the process above

welcome to the 2.3.5 club
Hi DanielJarvis. You can remove the app by going to Google.co.uk and clicking on the Sign In option on the top right. Then click on the Play link at the top and then My Android Apps. Scroll through the list until you get to the App you want to remove and then click on the dustbin icon next to it. The next time your phone connects to the internet it will uninstall it.
When you say your phone is acting weird - what it is not doing? From your message it kinda sounds like it isn't charging? Have you tried charging it via the USB port in your computer (just in case there is an issue with the charger)
