Speedmod is for 2.2 (Froyo) and you flashed 2.3.5 (GB). Grab Corn kernel and move from there.

[Q] Not booting after flashing TalonDEV Kernel

Sorry, im new to all this! I have a stocked rom and stocked kernel i had no way to get to the clockwork recovery so i tried flashing talondev kernel and my wouldnt start anymore so then i flashed the setrion kernel and it worked fine but iwanted to install the contiuumm rom and then i tried to install it from the recovery and my got bricked! i unbricked it and restored it stock again but i dont know where to start again! please help me im still a noobie to all this, but ireallly want that rom!
First off do you have Gb bootloaders? Secon after you flash Talon turn on recovery (i897 bootloaders Vol up and down + power button, i9000bootloaders down+power)
is this it? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
so i just flash that and then flash the talon one? but will that get me to the clockwork recovery too?
according to this Flash GB bootloaders and flash the kernel and it should work. Mind you that's a I9000 rom and it should work with I897 bootloaders but I've never tried it. But I usually recommend I897 over I9000's just because its native, but its a thing of choice i guess.

[Q] [i9000] Recovery mode problem

Originally I had 2.2 on my SGS. When Samsung released the update to 2.3 Kies couldnt update my phone. So I applied the recovery mode downgrade from 3e to 2e via Odin and flashed a custom ROM from romkitchen.org
Now I wanted to flash team ICSSGS rc3.1 rom to my phone but when I go to recovery mode all I get is a black screen.
The phone is working though, and pressing the power button boots it up.
So I installed rommanager.apk by Clockworkmod and via it, cwm recovery.
But still the same black screen.
What can I do to get recovery fully operational again?
Usually when you create a ROM from ROM Kitchen you have chosen a kernel. Which kernel you have chosen?
A recommended way: flash a custom kernel (you can DL from "Android Development" zone) via odin. Then follow the instruction from ICSSGS.
Hope I can help you!
Ah yea, I've forgotten to mention that. I've chosen Talon kernel. Can you recommend me one?
You could flash Semaphore kernel, pick the version to match your rom you have currently installed. Once you have Semaphore kernel installed you can follow the instructions to install ICS rom.

I did this now:
1. Return to stock 2.3.3 via Odin
2. Flash root kernel
3. Install CWM recovery
4. Install ICSSGS RC4.1
5. Install devil kernel
Voila
Thanks for the help

[Q] Stuck in boot cycle with CM9.1 what to do?

Hi, I used cm9.1 for a week but was disappointed with it's battery life, so i decided to try cm10 nightly. I did the CWM backup but after that i entered boot cycle and cannot boot to recovery now. Boot to download works fine, so what are my options now? Should i flash a stock rom and try flashing cm10 nigtly after that?
Edit: Managed to get recovery working but the recovery file itself doesn't work.
Try flashing Semaphore kernel for ICS via Odin, it may boot properly or it could get you to CWM, then you could flash a ROM... If not, download this http://d-h.st/4nP , it's pack of 3-file stock jw5 value pack, pit512, cf-root and Odin, flash it (if u know how), then just flash cm10 or cm9.1, your choice, there shouldn't be any problem
Thanks alot! Worked in the second attempt (the semaphore flashing)
I was upgrading from 9.0rc2 to 9.1 and encountered the same problem; could not get my phone into recovery mode, only download mode. Flashing Semaphore ICS 1.3.0 using Odin3 got my phone booting again without losing any data, settings or apps

This happens mostly on ics
In the hydracore thread, there is a zip file named returning back to Hydra v5.3. Download that and flash that first using cwm followed by speedmod
Flash this https://rapidshare.com/files/3372118715/Returning back to Hydra v5.3 std.zip
Then flash Speedmod..

[Q] stuck at samsung load screen after flashing PhilZ-cwm6

Hi,
I've just upgraded my Galaxy Note N7000 to stock JB ROM via Kies. The current version now is: N7000DDLSC. After upgrading, I wanted to move to Phil's Kernel, so I downloaded Phil's safe Kernel " DDLSC-ODD" .
However, after flashing Phil's kernel via recovery, my phone is stuck at Samsung's logo. I booted into recovery and can see touch GUI,so Phil's kernal is installed butwhen the phone is turned on it is stuck at samsung logo and I cannot proceed ahead. Once or twice the phone booted but was stuck at lock screen and then restarted again and got stuck at samsung logo again.
Can you please help me out???
did u follow the instructions ?

Yes, I followed the method correctly. I downloaded the official JB rom yesterday and flashed it using PC Odin. For the time being I am back on official JB ROM and kernel, but want to know if it is safe to flash Phil's kernel or any other JB Kernel ?
Try flashing it again...follow instructions step by step... You shouldn't have that issue.... If it continues you can try a factory reset from Philz recovery
Of it still happens post back here for more helo

Not every safe kernal is compatible try to flash philz kernal wif the correct one then using ur external sdcard is better n safe on a phone rather then using pc odin. after u successfully flashed the right kernal n ur phone can start up normally then u can try other kernal as well.
once u flash to a different safe kernal try to make use of the safe kernal function to reboot recovery or reboot system now n update kernal need few mins to update if still stuck on N7000 logo then just go back to recovery n flash back the working kernal.
so far i don't see flashing different kernal is smooth so no point. as philz already mention that the kernal is base on rom built.
