This is the first time I've had this happen - see many others in similar situation but now it's me :-(
I was rocking the most stable, smooth and battery- life- loving setup of ICS ever on my i9000 after trying almost all of the Roms and kernels out there.
In the end the Elite7.1Beta worked amazingly for me and I set it all up just nice and really had no reason to start messing with it.
....So I messed with it (to get even better battery life) and flashed the B6 ICY Glitch kernel and then - bootloop.
So I need an ICS/CM9 tar kernel file (any with CWM recovery will do) that I can use to reflash the original Devil 15.1 kernel.
Believe me, I've searched and serched and simply cannot find a tar version of any of the main ICS kernels out there (glitch, semaphone, devil etc). Why are there no more tar files anymore? Am I missing something?
I've even tried extracting the kernel from boot.img using cygwin and a tutorial I found on the net - but being an untran00b I did something horribly wrong and now thank goodness I can still get Download mode.
So:
Can someone please let me know where I can find a .tar kernel for ICS/CM9 that I can flash with Odin? Or how to make one from a kernel .zip or boot.img file?
OR: Can I just flash a boot.img in Odin (doesn't look like it but just wondering?) I'v not tried that because I've messed this up enough already.
Any help greatly appreciated

Try this, it should get your cwm back
unpack and flash as pda in odin

well i was in the same situation and i didnt have ssdd48 to help me ..
try his method i have read that it works .. if not i believe there is a speedmod kernel which has a tar file google that
for me eventually nothing worked so i had to flash a gingerbread rom thru odin and start over .. good luck
Thanks for the replies guys. Managed to fix it in the end using Darkcore kernel which gave me working recovery (even though Gingerbread based) but really appreciate you linking me the recovery file ssdd48.
Cheers!
I have the same problem with B6!! But I use the ssdd48 way, and it works perfectly (really thanks), after that y flashed again B6 via CWM and it works fine.
I might be wrong but doesn't Heimdall support flashing boot.img?

Thanx man ! I've Been waiting for a fix reocery tar for ICS.

hey mate, when you flash a kernel you dont lose any data right? I only need to get into CWM because I get bootloops and then I will reflash semaphore kernel
should "auto reboot" in odin be enabled?

Interesting.
I just re-flashed the ROM via CWM.
It includes a kernel.
If that didn't work, I'd use the kernel cleaning script, and the re-flash the ROM.
Hi,
I tried to flash the datafix for CM9 but it got me into a bootloop (using semaphore 1.0.1s kernel).
I flashed this file to fix the recovery but from here things aren't going so well...
I tried to restore my nandroid backup - didn't work (tried to restore only /system though, but saw it failed).
then I tried to reflash CM9 (19.4 nightly) - failed.
then I tried to reflash the semaphore kernel - succeeded but now my phone is stuck on the "galaxy S gt-1900 screen" (I can get into the recovery though, the one included in the fix).
What can I do now? I can't even get my phone to boot...
Thanks!

Yes!
I was having the same problem, for 2 times now actually. The first time I had to go all the way back to gingerbread. Now it happened to me a second time, I searched again and found a solution.
I think the rescue .tar doesn't have the right CWM in it to install the ICS rom. I've found a Odin installable kernel with the right CWM, its here:

Hi. I was running CM7 fine and then flashed MIUI last night and now i can't change the kernel or modem no matter how many times i try and flash in clockwork or clear caches or factory reset. I've lost cell network completely. Wifi works interestingly. Any ideas?
Anyone got any ideas how to fix this so I can actually flash new modems and krnels? They show as successfully flashing in CWM but About Phone doesnt change!
Would love to avoid going to sto ck via Odin if I can.

what modem and kernel are you trying to flash. you need the update .zip to be designed for gingerbread, different scripting for gb. so the kernel shouldn't be a problem unless you are trying to revert to 2.2.
im not sure if gingerbread is weird but maybe you can extract the zimage and modem.bin you are trying to flash and archive them in .tar files and odin flash. as long as you are not flashing anything with boot.bin or sbl.bin it shouldn't break the ability to odin back to stock.
A word of caution: If u get on GB kernel, and go to recovery, and try to use these kernel zips to flash back, they won't work. I realized this the hard way last night.

if you read any cm7 or other gingerbread thread they say you need 3 button recovery/download. this is one reason why! i think there should be a generic froyo kernel in the proper type of update file to revert. but maybe they are trying to scare away newbs till they complete cm7 or atleast have a release candidate.
Sorted in the end.
I just formatted every partition in Mounts and Storage first before a reflash.

And did you flash your stock kernel back after the rooting?
When the phone goes into this loop it cant stop unless I take the battery out, after doing that I try and flash the stock 1 again and it shows the loadscreen and then goes into the loop again. I need urgent help please... I think I may have done some things wrong... Dont know what to do to get my phone just back to the way it was after I updated to 2.2.
Thanks for replying

So you get into download mode. And you flash stock , but it still shows the fish logo? Just to clarify
No it does the same except it doesn`t show the fish logo, am I maybe flashing the wrong file or not flashing correctly at all?

Yes? So you can get easily into the download and recovery mode right? Try to flash some other kernel maybe. fugumod, cf root, speedmod or something .
What rom are you on and what are you trying to flash?
I am on froyo that I downloaded through kies, so now I tried to root my phone with fuguroot when this happened. Isnt there a way to go back to the stock froyo and try flashing fuguroot from there. Isn`t fuguroot and fugumod the same? Sorry for all these qeustions im new

Fuguroot is just for rooting, not an actual kernel
Fugumod is a full kernel with which you can run your phone
And how did you flash fuguroot ? And where did you get the stock kernel?
Cuz right now I think you flashed a gingerbread kernel on your froyo rom after you rooted with fuguroot.
And the way back if you killed your rom. As long as you are able to get inside the download mode you can flash a full rom 3 parts (maybe with pit and repartition)
I can only get into download mode, recovery mode only shows load screen and hangs. Do I need fugumod to use fuguroot because the rooting wasnt successful thats what im struggling with. I only want to root my phone so I can use one of the lagfixes, dont know which one yet, can you maybe recommend a route for me to take
I flashed fuguroot using the .tar files in that thread throught odin, adding the file to pda and preesing start. It says it completed successfully but when it resets it wont stop.

Can you please answer me where you got your stock kernel from ? The one you flashed AFTER fuguroot? Then we can move further.
And also you dont need fugumod even though its a very good kernel. But not sure about the froyo version. First, WHAT did you flash after fuguroot?

So as I said, you flashed a gb kernel on a froyo rom. You need a froyo kernel. I have no idea where there are froyo stock kernels. For that you need to google or search here on xda.
or you can try the froyo versions of the kernels I wrote you a post up.
Ok thanks i will try that, will get back to you if i'm struggling
Edit: will this one work?

If no luck while searching stock kernels you can try this http://fugumod.org/zImage.2.7.tar <<< fugumod full kernel for froyo
or from here speedmod http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=822756
or voodoo or some cf root. really no idea where the stock kernels are
EDIT: that one you found, I dont know, and no idea if it will work. But if you wanna go custom. Try rather the kernels I posted up. (now I hope you have the I9000 too : )
Ive flashed a stock kernel that I found and it hanged at the loadscreen, after that tried flashing fugumod and it`s been hanging on fish logo for about 10 minutes already. Will keep it going a while to see if something happens.
I can however, get into recovery mode now. Is there something I can do from there?

You can try to do a factory reset from the recovery first.
I kinda hope you flashed a kernel for froyo this time. And flashing kernel over kernel and also gb. It might break your rom too. Depends on what the kernels are doing and applying.
If everything fails
Since you know how ot use ODIN if this doesnt work. I think you should try a whole new rom install. Either the one for your country as it is froyo. Or maybe try out the whole new shiny GB
Hi i am trying to flash my rom with a stock froyo rom but i'm not sure if im downloading the correct one. Ive found them here :

And im downloading this one : I9000XWJS8|2.2.1|2011 March|Download
will it solve my problem?
Edit: After flashing a stock kernel a few minutes ago i am unable to go into recovery mode and it still hangs at boot screen, can someone please just give a quick overview on how to flash the new rom.
Thanks

Well I have no idea what rom you had before. From which country and csc you have. Also why are you trying to flash froyo if there is gingerbread?
And I guess the flashing of those custom kernels I wrote you didnt help?
Probably .
But if it fails flash via Odin stock Eclair 2.1 with pit 512 and repartition checked is my get out of jail card .

Hi there,
I had the issue that after apllying FuGus kernel, the phone kept looping in the loading phase (showing the battery symbol) and doing something (busy indicator). Nevertheless, I just switched it off (this worked) and installed the original kernel. Since then, everything works fine.
As I am not allowed to post answers in the dev branches --> @nikademus: Thanks a ton!

Hello and sorry bad english!
I have a problem that I can't flash back a stock Gingerbread rom with Heimdall. I'm now using CM7 and I would like to test new Overcome.
I followed closely Overcomes's guide when trying to install GB_Stock_safe_v3. I put mr.pit (with 'repartition device'), factoryfs, zimage, modem etc. to the right place and started installation. Everything went well and without any errors. Tab starts booting well, goes over the Samsung logo, but stops when the "android" logo appears on the screen. I waited for half an hour but it didn't make progress any further.
I tried also Chainfire stock 2.3.3 rom as the same results, it won't boot.
I flashed CM7 back with Heimdall and all went well and Tab booted OK. CM7 is now the only rom that boots on my Tab. Before installing CM7 I had stock 2.3.3 in, but after CM7 they have not worked anymore.
Is there problem with CM7 ext4 conversion or what?
Thanks.
Edit: pretty interesting that after CM7 flashing all my settings, themes, programs, etc. returning back to the same state as before. So flashing the stock 2.3.3 did not delete/wipe any data even though I put mark and correct filepath to repartion device/ mr.pit, pda, zimage, param, boot, sbl, cache, dbd and modem boxes.
try it using odin 1.7 it should have also came in the stock safe.
After Chainfire's stock 2.3.3 you should flash dbdata.tar. That solves the stock on samsung logo problem,usually I should add.....

When flashing Heimdall there must be all the files in use if "repatition device" is enabled. Chainfire does not have a dbdata file in his .tar package. What dbdata I should use?

Ok, I think that this is the only way. Too bad I do not have Windows on my computer Maybe I need to borrow Win laptop.
With Froyo Heimdall worked always fine.

So I flashed that "attached dbdata file" on the 1. post as dbdata (repartion enabled) and after successful flashing I flashed that same dbdata file as PDA (no repartition). That's how I understand these instructions:
- "- Flash dbdata.tar as PDA (NO repartition)"
Well, no booting after that. Boot stops when the first "galaxyTab" logo appears. Earlier the boot went further.
I give up now. I think I have to use Odin. Luckily the CM7 still works fine . I stick to it.
thanks anyway
There might be an answer somewhere in the forum, but i have no time searching (i would if i could) So please be nice and dont yell at me =[
So....
I used to have CF-Root Kernel installed with a xwjs8 rom installed.
Probably shouldnt have done it, but i upgraded my kernel to Semaphore 2.5bm using odin.
after that my phone didnt boot.... Decided to use odin again and flash semaphore jvt 1.8 and installing a jvt rom. Everything worked...
But i had no recovery mode... tried flashing CWM... It just didnt work.
After surrendering i just flashed the old kernel that worked, and now, my phone just refuses to boot, or go into recovery =[
I can still get in download mode...
Is there a way to just go back to a stocky begining...? just so ill know my phone isnt bricked for life.
Thanks in advance.

Either use sammobile.com to download the latest stock firmware for your phone and flash using odin or use the following link to get a rooted 2.3.6 GB rom with CWM recovery
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-jvu-re-gt-i9000.6558/
nothig to worry m8 jus flash the stock rom using odin and do a factory wipe,if ya dont get the recovery mode jus use the hard reset *2767*3855# hope this shld help...pm me if any prblm.....cheeeerz
I am yet unable to try the solutions you gave me (due to my tight university schedule) , but it sure sounds promising!
Ill let you know the second i try this!
Thanks! =]
Works, amazingly works! =]
Thank you guys!
That was a v.busy schedule if you only got it working now...
so i applied a wrong patch for the camera fix of paranoid android!! DAmn...it kinda bootloops now and i dont know how to reset it...even the stock recovery aint working no more....Please help... My phone is still not brand new
You have to flash a rom via odin. Look if a odin version of your favored rom is available, otherwise flash darky's resurrection rom or some other odin-rom. After that flash the rom that you want to run on your phone again.
First try flashing a semaphore .tar as pda, in Odin this usually gets recovery back
