Phone doesn't boot after flashing a kernel

Hello,
I flashed the latest offical rom from samfirmwares.com the one from 8 april.
After flashing I want to flash a kernel, after rebooting the screen is stuck at the screen where you see Samsung Galaxy S GT I9000 blabla.
When on a 2.2.1 rom flashing a kernel works fine.
Anyone a idea?>
Thanks

seems you have flashed XWJVB and then which kernel you flashed? give full description otherwise difficult to help

I tried to flash speedmod kernel 256 mz and 500 mz, both same error

Stuck at screen means bad flash wrong firmware or wrong kernel .
make sure you are flashing compatible firmwares .

Flashing the rom is fine, but after flashing the kernel it's stuck,
And yesterday flashing worked fine. I don't know what I did but now, nothing.

go back to 2.2 or 2.2.1 with all 3 files and pit
flash it with re-partition checked. and start again

Stuck on main screen after root, keeps rebooting.

I have been through a mess of attempts to root my phone and put it into 2e recovery so I could install custom mods, and ended up with nothing but an old version because I had to flash it on to be able to use it.
I'll try to explain the process.. first I had 2.2 firmware with JPC, was rooted already with superuser and then I tried to flash it into 2e recovery but when it finished the phone booted up, got in the main screen where you swipe the screen to unlock but got stuck there after a couple seconds, started vibrating randomly and shut down.
After that happened I flashed an original i9000 tar on it and it came back to life, unrooted and in JP6.
The first time I tried to flash it into 2e I forgot to run odin as an admin, so I thought that was my mistake so I went ahead and tried it again with a JP6 version and ran odin as admin, but the same exact thing happened... gets stuck in the same place so I flashed the original again.
I'm on a EU Galaxy S I9000 JP6 Froyo.
Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

flash in PDA using odin.Do NOT check repartition....

Thanks for the reply..
I don't want to make any mistakes, as im quite new to this phone and hacking/updating/putting new **** on it, so can you be a little more clear on the steps to take? I'm obviously going to upgrade to GB...
I can get into download mode fine, do I flash the 512 PIT file and the PDA_XWJVH_Sbl.tar.md5 file together? also just to make absolutely sure because I heard the partition thing can brick my phone, should it be checked for this particular flash?

You should only use the repartition option when flashing a 3 file firmware. You can get them from samfirmware.com. The JVB firmware has all 3 files so I would download it.
Once downloaded open Odin and stick the files in the required fields. Insert your .pit file and select repart.
Once you have booted in to JVB you can then flash JVH using Odin in the PDA field with NO repartition.
Once booted into JVH I would use CF Root kernal to get root access

[Q] am i completely screwed?semi bricked sgs??

hi.thouh i am quite experienced user here.i have read everything possible.
now how i got this.here is the story.
i had sgs i 9000 version
android 2.3.3
jvk version
then i just rooted it using odin.fine.

then when i tried to go to that rooted stock kernel made by chainfire it rebbot then
here is story..
samsung boot scree looping again again.
i can enter in recovery mode and download mode,
tried nandroid restore but same happen.
plz help what to do to make it alive.
i know its not bricked bit i didnt worked either?//

Get into download mode and re-flash a stock 2.3.3 or a 2.3.4 rom with Odin and it should help fix the boot looping.

any stock firmware .i just downloaded this from forst link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1011901
will it work?

NO ONE??/my * is burning.i got very sow internet,

Yes any of those in that thread, Froyo or Gingerbread should get you sorted out.

i mean first one 2.3.4 jvq veersion in the given link bddy.is it okay?

should i tick re partion in odin or not with this 2.3.4 jvq version?

JVQ is fine.
If it's a 3 part firmware (separate phone,pda, csc), then 515 pit is required with repartition ticked.

hey thefirmware i download is just .exe file.one file what to do

Uploaded it for you.
Just unzip it then add it to Odin.
Double click it as it has to extract, which then will give you 3 files.

[Q] Get SGS back to Factory Defaults

Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.
I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.

Hi.
I did this now...............
Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM

Is this kit for Galaxy S i9000? Can you please confirm, my stock kit is the first 2.3.6 and I would like to use something newer (like JW5 is). Or is there a newer latest I9000 ROM from Samsung?

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware

[Q] I have bricked my I9000?

Hi,
I have a I9000BVJP4 (FROYO.BVJS4) phone bought in 2011 from Orange in the UK. I was trying to root the bastard to get Jelly Bean on it. I coulddnàt get 4zroot to root it, neither Once Click root method (earlier would not reboot the phone and Titanium said it wasn't rooted anyway and the second just said "failed" when it got to the end of the process).
So I decided to use the CF root method. I downloaded the various cf kernels here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108 as I thought I needed to match the JS bit. So I tried JS3 which looped on intial screen the first time. JS5 and JS7 just hang on the first screen. Clearly I can get ODIN 3.07 to upload these kernels so I can get the phone to switch to download mode. THe problem is that it hangs and never boot.
I'm a bit of newbie with this stuff but I understand that as long as i can get into download mode I haven't bricked the beast. THe problem is that I donàt know how to out of this situation. I bet it's just a question of finding the right kernel and uploading with ODIN. Any suggestions? I presume the phone is still unrooted (or maybe not now that I have all these kernels uploaded through ODIN?)
Your help would be most appreciated.
Many thanks
Antonio

Mate,
cheers for this although the XXJVU ROM you suggested didn't work. I decided to give the XXJVT version a go which I downloaded from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 and I tell you this rocks. I've finally got rotation working again and have got rid of all the crap that Orange installed.
Do you know if Jelly Bean works on the I9000 and how it performs? Is it worth installing on such an "old" device? BTW, I used the same pit file you attached. That did work. Thanks again.

No problem ever . yep, Jellybean works , infact it rocks ! . the stock gingerbread firmware is crap if compared with jellybean . I use cm 10.1 Android 4.2.2 makes my phone butter smooth doesn't matter its quite old though but works like a charm. did you root your phone ? using semaphore kernel ? you have to root it first to install jellybean for XXJVT , here's the link for the kernel :-
http://78.46.194.137/kernels/Semaphore_kernel_JVT_1.9.1.tar
flash it the way i told you , you have to select it in the PDA file option in Odin. hope it works for you now .
