Kernel flash Problem with recovery mode - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was at stock 2.2 froyo, then flash my first custom rom Serendipity IV, then flashed Continuum v5.6. So i decided to try the new Mosaic IV. On the Mosaic IV page it states that if you are on TalonDEV kernel you need to flash to Xcalv's Kernel. I downloaded Xcal's kernel "I9000_reoriented_vG.1.2_novoo.tar". on the Mosaic IV page, flashed. Now i can't get back into recovery mode. What's going on what can i do?

how exactly did you flash the kernel?
can you still get into download mode? if so odin flash the kernel again.

I used Sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel. Was this what caused it?
yes i can get into download mode.
So open ODIN 3, go into download mode pluge the phone in and put the xcal's kernel in the PDA slot and hit start?
Thanks!

yeah the only way we recommend flashing kernels is with odin. the app can cause problems...as you are now aware of.
yeah open odin put the .tar in the pda slot, make sure repartition is unchecked plug in while in Dl mode and flash away.

flashed with oden3, took the battery out and hold vol+ & power, it's in the Galaxy S GT-I9000 screen no recovery mode. what do i do now?

oh wait....before you flashed the kernel the first time with the app, did you disable lagfix?

oh crap no i didn't. Darn it and read that too. my bad.
so my option is to flash back to stock GB 2.3.3?
how do i flash back to stock? what do i need?

go back to the mosaic thread in the same post you got the kernel there is a link to a tutorial thread that has all the information and files you need.

Sweet thanks!

how do i get into download mode i flashed mosaic 4 and when rebooted it stays on the att white screen any solutions?

[KERNEL] Suckerpunch build 45 XT not booting

Just flashed to build 45 of Suckerpunch and now I'm stuck at the ATT screen. Anyone else seeing this issue? How do I kick this back recovery to flash back to 44? I used SGS Flash to flash BTW.
use key combo to the recovery mode, or download mode. flash kernel in cwm.
if it does not work for you, build a jig or buy one online.
Well, I can get to download mode, but that means I'll have to flash through Odin right? How do I just flash a kernel through odin? It would be best if I can somehow kick directly to CWM to just install via zip, but I don't know of thats possible.

Sometimes Kernel flasher does wonky things, hold the volume buttons when you turn your phone on and it will boot into CWM, then try reflashing the Kernel from there.

No go with the volume buttons. I've got a 1008 phone so I think those are just busted. When I first flashed I got to download mode via the volume buttons + USB + Odin method.
since you are still able to get into download mode, you can simply flash back to stock and give a try for another kernel.

Has anyone tried flashing just the zimage using Heimdall? Looks like I should be able to flash just the kernel zimage and not have to wipe everything.

An FYI for anyone interested... You can use Heimdall to restore JUST the kernel with a zImage without touching anything else. If you ever brick by flashing a kernel then this is a way to recover without doing a flash to stock.

HELP! Possible Hard Brick

I have a i9000 phone here that i decided to flash a new kernal to. I flashed speedmod to it. It was originally completely stock 2.2 except that it had root. Anyways i flashed new kernel in odin. The kernel flashed and the it looked to be right, except it wont power on. the only thing i can do is get into download mode. any ideas.
find stock ROM and flash it with odin! its not bricked. connect it to odin and flash whole ROM the same way as u did with kernel.
use the search option to find the stock flashable with odin mate.
GL
Try and flash again friend. Im sure it will work out
If that doesn't work then download the file again and flash the phone
Good Luck
P.S. PM me if u can't get it

GB bootloaders with root

What Odin/One click package should i download to get root with GB bootloaders with CWM and flash zip file roms only? So i can flash roms like Fasty III and others? Which one is suggested for great battery life? Experts please
First off you don't need root to flash a rom. as for bootloaders use either a leak 2.3.5 i897 rom with bootloader or just the bootloader package. They are stickied in Dev section.
Can you please send me a link im new at all this but im learning i have Odin 3 v 1.81 and Odin v 1.81 ATT GB bootloaders extracted. I just want to be able to use download mode jig and plug in USB and go.
I have UCK H3 one click is that good enough to get started? Could i flash a rom in rom manager like fasty III im looking for fast and grt battery life.
KH3 1 click should be good. Don't use Rom Manager. Here you can find everything you will need. Just flash KH3 or any other GB leak, let it boot up normally, flash (with ODIN or SGS kernel flasher(app)) the boog's kernel that has CWM, let it boot up normally. Boot up in recovery and flash the rom.
Yea ive seen this which one should i pick and with or w/o bootloaders. 2.3 or 2.4.5 not sure? Just want the best one for speed and battery life and i like launcher pro.
I don't use launcher pro so can't say. But IMO KH3 or KJ3 would be my best (I still use KH3 modem). You need bootloaders so you can flash one with bootloaders.

SGS kernel flasher requires root. Which rooting involves a kernel swap with Odin anyway, so for this purpose its pretty useless.
I just flashed UCK H3 and while in process i checked flash bootloaders now im soft bricked. Will the download mode jig help? I have one i dont know what to do. It doesnt work. What can i do am i screwed? I have the soft brick symbols on my phone now.
Reboot pc, swap usb Ports (make sure its one on the back of the PC), right click Odin and ruin as admin, put .tar in pda slot, Pull battery, replace, use jig, ignore screen that appears, connect to PC if Odin recognizes it hit start.
Grt thanks ok i got the fish now what do i reboot or what and add kernel next? I still have Odin opened and USB plugged in
Disconnect, close Odin. Pull battery, replace, use jig, flash boog's kernel the same edu you flashed the fugu kernel.
Im getting a screen that looks like a TV screen all lines what the heck is that? Its boots to ATT logo then TV screen all colors and lines. I did the kernel it passed but not sure whats going on now. It keeps rebooting ATT screen and TV looking screen
... That sounds like you didn't flash correct bootloaders. Correct me if Im wrong. On a side note ya Studa I had a brain fart on SGS kernel flasher.
I can still get in download mod with jig. Cant i try a diffrent package in Odin?
Did you use KH3 with bootloaders?
Not sure what to do im trying the AIO toolbar and im enabled for root phone but seems like nothing is happeneing im still in download mode
that is froyo boots on a gingerbread ROM.
op flash this package
That will flash the gingerbread bootloaders which will get rid of those lines and make it possible to boot into recovery.
DO NOT USE AIO TOOLBOX AFTER THIS PACKAGE IT WILL BRICK YOUR PHONE. might as well just delete that for safe measure.
Ok i was in recovery in rebooted phone now im at ATT screen logo no lines now. What do i do now is there a rom to flash or am i even rooted? Can i go into download mode and flash a kernel
Im staying at recovery till i hear back from someone lol. Where do i go from here?

Galaxy S wont boot

Hi guys,
i just got a Galaxy S (international, germany) and wanted to flash Clockwork Mod so i can flash a custom rom (miui). I got it with version 2.2 so i rooted it with z4root 1.3 and then tried RomManager to get CWM on it. But it did always reboot into Samsung stock recovery mode. So i tried this Odin3 1.7 and flashed a Kernel and got into a bootloop (First this one, then i used the one promoted in this video (YouTube Video, description XDA Thread with promoted Kernel. Phone now stuck at booting (isn`t even bootlooping, just stuck at the GALAXY S GT etc. logo. I still can reach the Download Mode.
Can anyone please help how to get at least the phone working again I`m really desperatly.
Greetings from Germany & Merry Christmas

Install a new Rom with odin will make your phone boot again.
2.2 is probably too old now.
Upgrade to Gingerbread Stock using Odin. Turn on Repartition and follow the instructions to flash.
Download a Custom Kernel for the Gingerbread firmware that you flashed. Every Kernel except the stock comes with CWM Recovery.
Copy the MIUI zip file to sdcard and flash it with recovery. It should boot right up.
If you are still having bootloops, try doing a factory reset and then boot MIUI.
Don't try things that you aren't experienced with.
Anyway, download odin 1.85, flash stock Froyo, launch Kies, update to official Gingerbread, launch Odin, flash Semaphore Kernel and GG.
Merry Christmas!

I am not going to help you with this one. You need to get comfortable with the forum and its contents first. Read all the guides and stickies before proceeding with Firmware flashing. There are many different types of firmwares with Bootloaders which are often dangerous to flash and few without bootloaders. Hence, first go through the guides and go with the flashing only when you are confident that you are doing everything in right order.

Just do what dhiru1602 says. after you flashed it with the latest Gingerbread ,
flash the cf-root kernel with odin . than download the latest galaxian/semaphore kernel, copy it to your internal sd-card and flash it with the app SGS Kernel Flasher . you can find that app on the market. good luck mate !
Thanks guys, u really saved christmas for me Just booted up the latest Miui Rom!
Happy Holidays
