Galaxy S dead after kernel update failed in cwm Recovery - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys, i tried to update the kernel after Updating Cynogen mod by Ivendor on my Galaxy S Plus, but something went wrong the recovery crashed duo updating , after i switched the phone off nothing happens anymore the phone doesn't switch on if i push the power button , any idee to get it back to life ?

Tried getting it in Download mode (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Plus/GT-I9001#Download_Mode) and flash a fresh ROM using Odin from there? EDIT: might try flashing a kernel first of course, and see if it can be rescued.

I tryed to install this kernel, had worked before, so i decided to update to Invendor Beta 3 with this kernel flashed Ivendor first then kernel.But recovery rebooted during kernel install, then i try to restart the phone again and flash again but that seems to be the thing that i shouldn't do because the current kernel was only in memory duo the fail of installing the newone.

Easiest way is
If you are able to get into download mode

2. get root N install ICS base custom ROM
3.Use triangle away to reset counter
4 Back to Stock ROM

Where can I get the kernel you mentioned that could reset the binary count without using a USB JIG? Appreciate if you can point me the download site. I'm using an Asian unit GN7000.

Hi dude here is the message angelom sent to me its got the link to the Kernel Enjoy
So here is the link kernel that reset counter and remove yellow triangle:
http://www.mediafire.com/?5bmrc6cf81w5mya
Of course this is what I tried last night and it was fine (flashed over 10 times)
instructions:
It 'a tar file, then flashed it with Odin Pc
You need to have ICS, so if you tried to install GB with odin, you have to flash the Chinese leak ICS (always with odin)
Even if you flash the rom from error, after trying to install, always installs with odin the kernel, it usually also with your problem is successful.
Just you see that phone reboot (just odin gives you the message that the flash of the kernel has been successful) disconnect the usb cable and press once the keys to enter the recovery mode (Vol + + home + power) and keep them pressed until do not see the recovery.
You'll still have the yellow triangle.
When did you get into recovery (still touch CWM) touch on reboot
So, even if eventually the Rom should not start it for the problem of partitions, you'll see that the triangle is gone and the counter is reset.
Of course you do so at your own risk, given my experience after what has happened, I emphasize.

Galaxy S Os upgrade questions.

Searching the forum constantly, but I figured I'd ask at the same time.
Heres what i have:
Galaxy S
Rooted
Froyo 2.2
Baseband I9000UGKC1
Kernel 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #4
Buikd FROYO.UGKC1
I've Rooted and Unlocked. I require UNLOCK.
I'd like to upgrade my OS to either JB or ICS whichever is the most stable and smooth. (I'm looking for iPhone smooth.)
I think I'll use Cyanagenmod and Clockwork recovery.
Will This remove my unlock? If so. Is there a way to unlock ICS or JB?
Suggestions, Tips please.
Thanks a bunch.

First backup your important files to your PC than you must first upgrade to gingerbread 2.3.6 only than you should and can flash ICS and after that JB. you can do the gingerbread upgrade by using KIES or ODIN, and flash again with a semaphore kernel which will give you CWM + root using Odin, after that backup your EFS before flashing ICS using CWM and finally JB with CWM
Thank you. Didn't realize I had to go gingerbread first. Could have ended badly...
By re flashing I lose my unlock. Yes?
There is a way to unlock in JB?
Thanks again.

No, you won't lose your unlock, Read your wiki page for guidance http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
Sorry for the late reply. I've been fighting for two days with Kies.
I can't get my phone to connect with it.
I believe its a driver issue.
I can let windows find the driver. Phone then is recognized by windows. But doesn't connect to kies. I get an error message.
Tried following the troubleshooting guide in Kies. It installs driver. No connect.
Went to Samsung for driver. No go with Kies again.. I get a message from windows saying my device can perform better using a usb 2.0 port. I was on a 2.0 port.
Got a driver from xda wiki. Same results.. I cannot get kies and my galaxy to work together.
Tried different usb cable (official Samsung). And different USB port.
I'm lost...
**Update**
I just tried on an XP machine. Same thing. 'can't connect to device, please disconnect and try again'...
Should i try a factory restore and start over from the beginning?

just uninstall KIES, leave the USB drivers, and connect with ODIN to flash a gingerbread 2.3.6 ROM according to your region from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 than root with a semaphore kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 , you will also get CWM with this kernel.
No use wasting time trying to get KIES to work, this is happening to a lot of people , could be due to Microsoft's competition with Samsung. you can get all your softwares , tools etc from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775

Obviously, your flashing process was interrupted.
First of all, did you backup your data?
2nd, Go to Download mode (Power + Home + Volume Down) then reflash Gingerbread via ODIN.

Nope, not bricked, Did this happen after you flash ROM or after you flashed the semaphore kernel? anyway...
1) reboot PC as well reboot phone after a battery pull, also take out SIM Card as well as your EXT SD card , reisert battery after pressing power button for a min
2) make sure you had uninstalled the KIES only leaving the Samsung USB drivers
3) go into download mode and flash again the ROM as per instructions on that page.
IF not you can use a i9000 rescue or resurrection kit from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29331775#post29331775 , has guides there too
BTW make sure you have good battery charge at least 50% before you flash and never interrupt flashing process

Thank you so much! Without your help. I'd be knee deep in threads and various topics that made no sense to me.
It was battery.. I gave it a full charge and tried again. Worked. Sorta... Still had a boot loop after flashing GB. Got fed up and hit restore. Upon reboot. GB was there... Flashed sephamore with 0 issues. Running like a charm.
One last thing. Is ICS worth it if GB is working fine? I mean what are the benefits of ICS over GB? My friend swears by ICS on his RAZR should I worry about it on my 9000M?
Big thanks again. Cheers! :good:

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig

after downloading it run it as administrator
then connect the jig to the phone and then it will boot in download mode
then you caqn remove the jig and connect the usb cable to the pc
and you will see a yellow prompt like the one in odin..
and then click on start..
the stock rom flashing will start...

I have recovered from a soft brick using a jig, I know these shortcuts very well but none is working even to come into a download mode i always need a Jig it was all good when i installed cm 10.0 the second day i bought this phone but now after the attempt to restore into stock ROM was a mess, then thanks to u my phone got a life again, but now even the CornKernel_UCKK4_v705 isn,t working on my phone,
Any IDEAS???

The KK4 Corn Kernel will only boot up and run if u r on KK4 firmware or a Rom of that base...or previous stock firmware/roms.

1.KK4_Root_v1_1: Bricks my phone. Have to use Jig to come to download mode,
2.I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0: This is stock rom using odin, which also bricks my phone,
3.KI2_noBL_BoogsKernel: this wakes up my phone to GB stock Rom but no sign of booting into recovery, and my phone lost its root after installing it,
4.CornKernel_UCKK4_v705: successfully flashed using ODIN but still can not boot into recover.
