Flashed wrong kernel please help! Urgent! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I accidently flashed wrong kernel this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=982148
while i was on stock rom with stock kernel!
how can i go back! :S
i can get into CWM Recovery, but cant flash anything. Im on clockwork mod 3.0.0.5 now!
what can i do?
Need to fix it urgently!

For future reference you can only use CM7 kernels with CM7 roms. Your going to have to Odin back to stock kernel. In CM7 you can only get into download mode with 3 buttom method. Im assuming you know how to Odin?

i did reflash using odin, but now the phone turn on and i see the tmobile screen, followed by the samsung animation, the s, after which the screen turns blank. the touch sensitive buttons respond, i can see the light change as i touch them, but i see no difference on the screen. what should i do?

Do this,
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
This will get you back to stock
Good luck

i flashed clockwork recovery and then kings kernel then when i reboot it goes to the big s then the screen turn black
i tried wiping all the user data and cache and it still does the same thing?
can i get out of this situation or am i bricked for life i justgot my vibrant today!
How long did you let it sit on the black screen for? That has happened to me before but after a few minutes it booted with no issues. Good news is your not bricked for life.
it is till on the black screen i try to flash jacs kernel and halfwy it stop and automatically goes to the main clockwork recovery menu?
i tried using odin but it wont recognize my phone even after i put it in download mode
If your running ji6 you have to flash kernel back support first then the custom kernel or you will get stuck at vib screen.
Bionix Final w/JACs UV/0C
okay i flashed stock ji6 with odin and now it is still stuck at the Big S screen
Take the battery and sim card out then odin back to ji6. After that if you want a custom kernel for ji6.first down load the kernel back support zip, then the custom kernel zip. Go into clockwork recovery flash kernel back support then flash custom kernel then reboot.

i dont want the kernel all i am saying is that i have already went back ji6 3 times and it always gets stuck at big s screen

If only you were here on october
I was so scared I thought I bricked and since I was new to odin I didn't know how to use. People told me to use kernel back suport and stuff
What would've happened if there was no eugenes froyo? It would just keep getting stuck on galaxy s screen even if going to stock

[Q] UNFIXABLE Brick?

Alright, here's the breakdown.
-I was on 2.1 Bionix Final R1
-Tried flashing beta 4 voodoo 2.1 kernel while on OCLF.
- wouldn't boot
-tried to ODIN
-Odin failed becuase i got Data Wipe Failed
-Tried the ODin that doesn't brick, didn't work, got into recovery there, and got stuck,
-tried odining the JFD after this...failed.
What do? I need my phone badly, i keep getting "Data Wiped Failed" and black screen at boot, i can get into recovery but nothing i do works...
Open odin. ALWAYS OPEN IT FIRST. Take out battery, plug into Odin, hold down volume rockers and power. Without letting go of these buttons, put the battery back in. Your phone should show up on Odin and you should be able to revert back to stock
Sent from Bionix powered vibrant! If I helped, hit the thanks button!
Try odining again, but load the 512 pit file and try checking the repartition box on the left of the screen.

This is correct, if the phone doesn't go into recovery. If it can Then:
1. Odin 1.3 or higher I use 1.7 but not real important
2. Download original Vibrant rom
3. You will need the .pit file (this is for mapping) Try using the 831 pit file if 512 is not working for you
4. you will Eugene froyo that does not brick rom.
The order is as follows:
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! You will have flashed back to the original software. From there, you can do anything,
The sbl could be an issue but this should get around that problem if not then may need to use adb .
Just make sure to remove sim and sd card if you havent all ready i would get the same error when i had those two still in my phone.
please check repartition first option to check from left an dall the other two options => also two more options below like clear cms

[HELP][Q] Bricked or soft-softbricked Vibrant

(Not sure if i posted in the right section before, im really worked up. Ive been flashing roms for months, and i just cant believe this happened)
Ok, so before, I went to install the Simple Galaxy rom, and i forgot to disable VooDoo .. When I boot my phone, its tied together between the stock Samsung Galaxy X screen and the Auxura Rom (which i am came from + with the honeybread port)... I know im only soft bricked, so at least i know i can SOMEHOW fix this.. I can get into download mode and recovery, but when i got to recovery and choose install ZIP from Sd card, it tells me nothing is there. I tried factory reseting it,..Can ANYONE help me with this. Please guys, Im in BIG need of help..
Edit- I got Odin to work, Im going to see what happens next
If you can get into download mode and can use ODIN, why not just go back to stock and do everything over again?
Here is all you will need get these files
Eugenes froyo that does not brick
512 pit file
Stock JFD rom
Odin 1.70 or higher
Then follow this :
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.

15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.

Hope you get it going
I had something similar happen, now I can get out of recovery mode (it says
Code:
[LEFT]update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.[/LEFT]
)
I tried reinstalling Foryo stock (KA6) still didn't work.
What is the difference between KA6 and JFD?
JFD = 2.1 - Elcair
KA6 - 2.2 - Froyo
I would odin back to stock 2.1 (JFD) has always worked for me.
You might need to odin using the "repartition" checked...

Stuck

I installed the Voodoo Kernal for eclair. Everything went smooth, but now I'm stuck with the Vibrant screen. I don't have a back up because I couldnt get on the clockwork recovery, my reason for flashing this Kernal...
Is there any way I can get the stock Kernal back? or did I hardbrick my phone?
You need to odin back to stock Read up on this in the Noob guide in the General section By S15274N
Here is the basic thing you need to do but go read up @ the noob section as well..
1. Open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
2. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
3. You want to make sure the 're-partition' box is checked.
4. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box.
5. Then, download Rom manager then>root the phone you will have to go into recovery and boot into there twice to see the cwm red menu. Once there you can flash a rom that is already loaded into the int sd card and flash your new Rom.
Thanks a lot. Much easier than I thought it was going to be.

[Q] [TELUS]How do I downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2

Ok so today i finally figured out how to root my Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate 3g+(Telus and now as I'm going through trying to install custom roms i see that it only uses 3e and not CWR
Is there any solution to my problem and yes I have been looking around the forums for a almost 3 hours and now have become mildly enraged seeing no support for my phone
well, I have been going through alot of the same stuff with my Telus fascinate too.I don't think im capable of writing a full guide, but I can tell you the basics about how I got to CM7 with a working stable kernel.
First Odin back to stock 2.2
A. Download Odin (attached) and the Telus JL3 stock files http://www.megaupload.com/?d=C3DQ1LZF
B. Open Odin, and put the files in the appropriate boxes
s1_odin_20100512.pit in "PIT"
T959TLJL3-REV03-ALL-low-CL763100.tar.md5 in "PDA"
T959TLJL3_FROYO_Phone-CL763100.tar in "PHONE"
SGH-T959D-CSC-TLSJL3.tar.md5 in "CSC"
C. Boot into download mode by turning phone off, then holding "Volume Down" while connecting the phone to the computer
D. The first "ID:COM" box should turn yellow and show a numerical COM port
E. Click "Start" and wait for it to finish and reboot, and unplug the phone after the yellow box turns green and says "PASS"
next

Odin this file using the "pda" part of odin. Let your phone boot up and go through the voodoo lagfix. Once your booted up, it might be a good time too root your phone again.
also this might not be needed, but if you get no service once your on your custom rom.this can help.
So while still on stock, download an app called "nitrality" perform an efs backup. Then copy the "insanity" folder from your phone to somewhere safe.
ok, now that your rooted and have a cwm recovery, reboot into recovery and flash the custom kernel zip found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18268484&postcount=3865
CM7_SGS_20111009_NEO_17-voodoo-col_BLN.zip is what I use
pull battery and reboot into recovery once more. From there flash your rom, CM7 in my case.
http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxysmtd
After installing the rom, again reflash the platypus kernel, and your all good to go.
If you have no service, then put that "insanity" folder on your phone, install nitrality and perform the efs restore.
Sorry for the all over the place guide.

EDIT: so at the http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=galaxysmtd what did you mean my CM7 in your case
EDIT2: Ok so now that platypus is installed my phone is now looping from the SGH screen to Platypus and then for about a second it shows recovery mode
I used the stable RC of cm7. galaxysmtd
I apologize for the boot looping, im not overly technical. Just, those are the steps that got me up and running. Maybe try the other Kernel on that thread?
No its alright. I fixed to looping by flashing the stock froyo. Now i just need to figure out how to not have this happen again
