Bootlooping after kernel change - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was on semaphore ICS 0.9.1 and I updated to 0.9.7 kernel (I am with Team ICSSGS RC4.2 ROM) and now it just bootloops and I can't get to CWM, what to do?

Is there no another ICS kernel I can flash via odin in order to get into CWM and then reflash semaphore? Please?
I really need help ASAP and I dont want to lose the data on the phone

I flashed this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24094818&postcount=2 and then went to CWM to reflash semaphore 0.9.7 and I am now stuck on Samsung Galaxy S logo...help!
What happens if i reflash the same rom over my current?

Flashing from one custom firmware to another

Hello guys,
actually I've darkysrom with darky kernel on my SGS but I want to change to another custom firmware, mainly because of ICS.
Can I flash the new cfw just by using clockworkmod? Because I remember that there was something concerning the kernel which was important before flashing to another cfw.
Do I have to disable the lagfix before flashing?
Yes you must disable lagfix to avoid problems with the new kernel.

Do I have to seperately flash another kernel or is that been done by flashing the cfw?
Disable lagfix, wipe (data, cache, daliv cache), Flash ROM via CWM, flash new kernel. If it gives you bootloop go to CWM and flash kernel again. It should work ;-)
Hi,
i tried to flash slim ics but something wrong happened. first i opened clockwork recovery and wiped everything. after that i tried to install from zip and choosed the base file of ics slim rom but there came a message which said that the installation was aborted. then i've read in the tutorial that one has to format the system but it still didnt work.
now the phone doesnt boot anymore but i can get to clockwork recovery. i recognized that it is a modificated version from darky with the name "cwm darkycore recovery" or something like that.
can someone please help?
EDIT:
ok the phone is back alive. i flashed darkyrom with odin.
but i guess the same will happen if i try to flash slim ics again so there must be another way right?
EDIT2:
i got it. just installed the cm9 with cwm darky core recovery and after that installed slim ics.
if you've got to the trouble of odin-flashing the darkyrom back ,why didnt you just flash something else ?

[Q] Stuck at boot animation after flashing kernal

I am on GB Rocket ROM v23, with Franco Kernal V8. It has been working pretty well with one exception, that the screen occasionally won't switch on when the phone has been asleep for a while.
I have been trying to flash the updated Franco Kernal, and the Abyss kernal too. When I try to flash them with CMW it says they install OK. Each time I re-boot I get as far as the boot animation and it won't boot up. I then restore the backup and all is fine. But unfortunately I can't try a new kernal
I have also tried cleaning the old kernal with jbroid script
I would be grateful for some advice on how to solve it. Thanks

[Q] 2.2.1 Darkyrom-4.2 to ICS-4.0.4(cm9?) - what should i know ?

My aging i9000 is still on 2.2.1 Darkyrom 4.2 and DarkCore1.0 kernel.
2.2.1 xxjve to be precise...
Should i do anything besides wipe it completely before attempting CM9 nightly ?
Installing via DarkCore's CWM ? Odin ? Odin settings, guide for froyo-2-ics ?
Any advice before i screw something up ?
1)install gingerbread first in your phone using odin...
2)install semaphore odin kernel then for that particular gingerbread rom..
3)go to recovery do all kind of wipes,wipde data factory rest then wipe cache then wipe dalvik cache..
4)install zip and then install cm9 or better try trimislim 1.1
Apart from that, backup your EFS folder. And don't worry about lagfix (a big cuestion coming from darky to ics).
I did the same way and I'm pleased with ics. And you will be impressed, because there are a lot of differences between froyo and ics. A lot.
Can someone point me to files needed to flash stock gingerbread ? (Rom, kernel)..
Too many out there...
You should go well with flashing the zip from download.cyanogenmod.com twice, first from darky recovery, then from cm9 recovery.
For a kernel I recommend Devil2 ICS:

but it is not necessary.

Stuck at Samsung Logo : Can you flash a kernal via Odin?

The GN I bought recently was already rooted with official UK ICS and Franco kernal on it.
Without me trying to flash or do anything, a simple reboot now won't boot past the Samsung logo.
I've reflashed the UK official ICS rom in Odin, but that did not solve the problem.
I thought I'd try to flash the Franco kernal, but I think I need to put it on to an SDcard and flash via recovery.
The problem is, I don't have an SDcard.
So can a kernal be flashed via Odin? (Do you even think this is worth trying?)
You can only flash a kernel.tar via odin. If it is kernel.zip you have to flash it using CWM.
If you can get into CWM you can mount usb storage to PC and copy file to it.
Sometime CWM see sdcard as internal sdcard so you need to check both.

You cannot flash any kernel through Recovery, because you are unrooted after flashing a stock ICS Rom.
However, you could flash a custom ICS kernel via PC Odin (CF-Root or Speedmod tar). You will get the triangle, but that is easily removed by using new Triangle Away.
OK, I flashed Speedmod, and now I have the warning triangle (Dont care!), and I can get into CWM recovery.
It's still not booting past the Samsung logo. Is it now safe to wipe data/Factory reset?
OK, thanks for your help, guys!!
I'm now unstuck.
(A wipe data/Factory reset from CWM fixed)
You did a factory wipe from ICS kernel ......

Using franco kernal / CWM
I read in the franco kernal thread that is was safe to do so. is this not the case? It seems OK, but have I actually damaged something?
I tried REALLY hard not to screw this up.

RR V10 won't boot after crash ???

Hi there, as stated ICS RR V10 is installed with notecore v14 std kernel, the system crashed after trying to connect to the bluetooth headset: the screen switched to full brightness and because nothing was responding i pulled the battery. Since then no boot was sucessful (only until the android logo), cwm (5.5.0.4) was kind of slow when i booted into recovery, cache and dalvik cache got wiped - the flash of RR v10 itself was successful again but still the system doesn't boot (same behaviour, back get's prettry warm).
Before i do something stupid, i ask you guys what to do next:
-flash abyss 4.2 and try flashing again? ( + full wipe ?)
-flash notecore v14 and flash again?
Thanks for your input.

No need to flash Abyss kernel, you are already on safe kernel, try flashing some different kernel, Speedmod or different version of STD Notecore.
If that too doesn't help flash rom again.
its issue with your kernel, Notecore version 14. fix is coming, in meanwhile try speedmod indeed.

thanks for the input: tried notecore 13 std and speedcore k3-13 separatly, installed the rom and kernel again, situation didn't change, still hanging at the kernels boot animation (android/samsung logo + no sound ?)
out of despair i just redownload rr v10 and give the new file a shot.

Now, do not try anything, just download pre-rooted GB rom from dr.ketan's thread and flash using pc odin.

Updated in my signature, download it.
ok then I dont know, how a system crash is preventing bootup. Others had issue on v14. Maybe instal was not vlean to start with. Maybe emmc is corrupt, many maybes.
first, on safe kernel wipe cache and dalvik cache. Also fix permissions, Reboot. Fixed it? No continue:
perhaps starting new, cleanly could solve it. Like above you can start from gb, Just to check you dont get stuck at flashing it.
or you can start from save kernel recovery, On notecore or on speedmod. The install of rocketrom went good first time right? if not, then redownload rocketrom as instal file could be corrupt. Check md5s if it doesnt install.
You can format system from mounts, then data from mounts, then wipe cache and dalvik. Then install rocketrom, then instal kernel of choice, wipe cache and dalvik for fun again and reboot. All of course from safe kernel kernel recovery.
If this didnt fix it, start new from pc odin and flashing a gb rom. For this to succesfully boot, it maybe needed to format system/data before flashing from pc.

solved (partly - data lost)
problem got solved by installing the pre-rooted gb rom (dr. ketan) via odin 1.85, afterwards i installed abyss 4.2 (probably not necessary), rebooted into recovery (advanced), wiped cache data and dalvik and installed rr v10 again. Of course i lost all data, but at least the phone is up and running again.
thanks to dr. ketan for his effort and jeetu1981 for personal help
