I did this but again, it doesnt work

What are you trying to flash? Darkys v10 kernel worked like a charm for me when flashing that rom. And newest speedmod kernel should work for any new rom install.

try
That's unfortunate, try clearing Dalvik Cache, Cache and reboot whithout lagfix. If this doe not help try reflashing or factory reset. Worked for me.

I had this problem too while I was flashing it along with Darky's 10 RC3, however I did factory reset and tried again few times, and it just worked. I don't know how, but it did. Maybe you should try again.

Make sure your wiping old data in recovery.. and if flashed a new kernal or radio could also cause a problem too

yes i did Wipe data/factory reset ,Wipe cache,Wipe Dalvik-cache but just now i discovered that after doing this and still last installed rom has not been wiped its still there wtf what should i do and yes i did install 2.6.34.1_AVS-925mV_BFS_1113Mhz kernel how do i completely wipe everything???
Umm also do wipe sd partition, then do another wipe factory and cache-.. then do a repair sd then try to flash new rom.. this is what i usually do when i install new roms
still no luck i even did clear storage then wiped everything and i dont use app2sd(ext) i dontunderstand what to do i even tried with the clockworkmod's recovery still the same
sorry man, My only guess and idea is try to flash back to a normal kernal, then flash rom.. only thing i can come up with atm, or you can wait and see if some one that comes up with a better solution
where can i find norman kernel or any kernel which can fix this?

I think my i9000 may be bricked!

So when I turn the power on, it just has the "Samsung Galaxy S" logo and all that, and then it enters a boot-loop where that keeps coming up.
When I plug it into the charger, it just has an empty battery and it stays like that, even when I leave it overnight to charge, the screen still shows that empty battery.
I've tried using Heimdall to flash ezbase recovery and I've also used Odin, as well as EZOdin to flash the same recovery, both of which yield no results.
I have also tried both Odin and Heimdall to flash the stock ROM, which also makes no difference the the boot-loop situation.
When using both of those programs, they do not flash any ROMs at all when I select the "Re-partition" or anything related to partition, it just won't pass that initial step.
The only thing that I can do with the phone is enter recovery mode by pressing the Volume Down, Power and Home buttons.
If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Hey
Which rom did u flash when ig entered into bootloop??
Cheers
If my post helped, dont forget to hit the thanks button..
Abd dont worry its not bricked...
Sgs is nearly un-brickable as it has 2 flash modes..
Cheers

The last successful ROM that I flashed was 2.3.4 i9000XXJVP.
The incident occured when I tried to overclock my precious phone. I don't remember the specific source of the files I used to overclock or anything, but yeah, it instantly boot-looped and bricked the phone.
Flash stock rom again with repartition "ticked".

That would have been the first thing I tried.
When I tick "repartition" in both programs (Heimdall and Odin), the flashing process suddenly gets stuck.
When flashing stock ROM through Odin, it gets stuck on Set Partition forever.
When flashing through Heimdall, it refuses to upload the PIT file and then it will say "Heimdall Crashed" at the bottom next to the Start Flash button.
Hey
Un-check reparation and try..
Thats the cause for bootloops...

Try flashing a new Kernel. Most of my boot loop problems have been Kernel related and flashing a new one using Odin almost always solved the problem.

If I uncheck repartition, nothing happens after I flash and the phone still stays in boot-loop.

I've tried flashing many new kernels from many different ROMS including CyanogenMod, Modaco and also ezrecovery mod. The only ROM that I managed to flash and have a noticable difference would be DarkyRom but the phone is still stuck in boot loop.

Using CWM, make sure to wipe data/factory reset, then wipe cache, and then go into advanced, and wipe the Dalvik cache too and flash custom rom twice
Remove / insert battery and go to recovery to flash it again , for any custom rom, if still goes into bootloop get a .tar kernel and flash using Odin

Yeah that's the thing though, I don't have CWM installed, at least I don't think so. I can't seem to access it. It just keeps boot looping.

I have attempted both of your suggestions, both of which have had no impact on the current situation.
I still cannot access ClockWorkMod and flashing other ROMs do not make any difference.

Have you tried flashing Stock Rom with Pit and Bootloader ? Download a JVT Rom and try, cause there is NO reason why you cannot flash a ROM after that you can flash a semaphore kernel to get CWM

So I asked around, and apparently it's not a soft-brick, but it's a hard-brick!
Everything I have tried to flash has not made any difference to the phone's functioning status.

Help..stuck on bootscreen after flash!

Advice please...stuck at bootscreen! (followed instructions in crash thread s follows
1. Was on rocket rom v10 with notecore.
2. Flashed abyss
3. 3 wipes + JBroid cleaner
4. Flashed crash 8.2
5. Rebooted
6. Stuck on 'galaxy note' boot screen, tried rebooting. Still stuck. (waited over 10 minutes)
Advice please!!
Did you try booting to recovery and flashing again? Or try clearing cache and delvik cache.

Yes, tried booting into recovery and wiping again, didn't work. Tried reflashing, still stuck. Tried flashing a different kernel, still stuck.
What's going on?!
Edit: I'm suspecting JBroid might be the issue here..have flashed in the past with no problem but this time decided to use JBroid (as advised in crash thread)..
When you say wiping, do you mean factory reset or wiping cache? If those didn't work flash a stable CM9 kernel, reboot in recovery, and then try to flash again.

Tried both. First just wiping cache/dalvik, then just doing factory reset (after installing notecore because of mmc_erase bug). Neither worked! The only kernels I have on my sd are notecore, abyss. Running out of options..may just try flasing rocket rom again..

Try flashing a pre rooted stock GB firmware and see if you get the phone to work. Then, try flashing from there.

Flashed back to RR v10 without any problems. Not sure why Crash wouldn't install but that was quite a scare!

[Q] URGENT My Note doesn't boot after flashing HydraCore v7

Hello guys, i have a Note on stock ICS 4.0.4 and i was using SpeedMod kernel untill a few minutes ago, but now i tried to flash HydraCore v7 Standard(From here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/tgt862w7t0dbbwf/wtCeOLxSsU/HydraCore 7 ) and after that my phone refuses to boot, it only gets to "Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000" screen but after that the screen just turns black and i need to remove the battery to try again or to go into CMW.
I tried to reflash the SpeedMod .zip but it doesn't work(The CMW version changes, but i still can't boot).
I'm a noob, brought my Note two months ago and i am an Android noob(Came from iOS).
Could someone here PLEASE help me?

Did you wipe cache and dalvik cache?
Next time read the threads for a new kernel or a new Custom Rom here in XDA and follow the installation instructions carefully. This reduces the chances of error dramatically.
But first try to clean the caches and reboot again.
Just wiped Dalvik Cache and Partition Cache but i still can't boot.

Please try the factoy reset.
As the poster before said: factory reset is a possibility.
But: only if you really sure you're using a recovery in a safe kernel. This should be from what you told before.
Another option I would try first:
So I would search for the Philz kernel for your ICS and install this first in CWM. Maybe you can boot with this into Android. If not this gives you a safe environment for factory reset or installing a new Rom
When you want revert from HydraCore v7 kernel you need to flash this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32806581&postcount=10783
After flashing this .zip, see if it boots properly, then you can try flash any other kernel that you want (speedmod, philz, or other version of HydraCore/Notecore)
Edit: oh I see this file isnt avilable anymore, so try this link:

Thanks dude, you saved me!
Didn't need to do the factory resets, used this .zip and now i can boot. Think i will stay with that kernel for a while now Maybe later i get back to SpeedMod. But, anyway, thank you all for helping me out with this guys, I really appreciate it.

Bricked I9000, but have download mode. It got trickier than I thought.

Hi,
I think I bricked my phone very well. I used Odin to put some GB Kernel in order to be able to upgrade to JB. Later I got into recovery mode and cleaned cache and many other things, but was unable to wipe data\factory reset, from there it all went down. I tried fixing it using this guide, but it didn't help. I still can get into download mode, though. And sometimes even into recovery, but it gives me tones of errors.
What can I do? How do I fix it now???
Thanks in advance!
Fix:
Try to flash a stock GB rom with Odin.
Kernel/ Upgrade to JB
After that flash a rooted kernel. Try CF-Root or Semaphore Kernel.

Hi,
got one problem. hope im typing in right section.
Flashed my I9000 to 2.3.6 JVU plus CF-Root. Minutes later ive tried to flash Gamerzrom via CWM.
(done a full wipe / factory reset, wiped caches etc.).
After that Phone reboots and is stuck in a bootloop containing the Semaphore screen and i cannot
enter CWM again. I have to reinstall stock rom first and then root it again.
Dunno what im doing wrong at that point; am i using wrong kernel?
thanks in advance
that gamerzrom...2.3 or 4.2?
if u wanna flash to 4.x, need to flash cm9 first.flash twice, from 2.3 to cm9 to cm10.dont do shortcut please...
cm9 need to flash twice, bootloop will occur on first flash,use 3 button combo to go back to recovery,its da matter of releasing da 3 button,release it rite after u see da white sgs,if still cant, flash back firmware n redo step.
after flashing cm9, do not reboot,flash cm10 or gamerzrom,first flash will error,flash it back again n then reboot, do wipe everything except sd when in 2.3, and please...read first before asking
