I flashed the wrong kernal and now when it boots up it's a black screen. Help? And yes i'm a noob.
The only thing it shows in the beginning is a battery.
When I go to system recovery it's Android system recovery.
which kernel did you flash? What Rom were you on previously?

Download a stock firmware from there. Any will do.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1703488
Download the Galaxy S3 Toolkit and install it and the Samsung drivers (found inside the toolkit folder once installed, under drivers)
Power off the phone
Hold down the Volume down button, the home button (middle bottom of the phone) and the power button until you are seeing the Download Mode screen.
Open Odin, from the Toolkit. Clock PDA and load the firmware you downloaded.
Touch NOTHING else adn click start
After that you should have a stock firmware.
Alternatively, you can download a stock kernel and use Odin to flash that in the same way.

There are no carrier specific kernels, just version specific. Imho, just install Siyah 1.5 or something to get your phone up and running, see what version it is, then download the stock kernel for it.

Yeah, I know there are threads similar to this one, but I have not found the answer on those, so here is my own.
I was running StarBurst ROM and I decided to flash a faster Kernel, so I used one of Pershoot's Kernels, "AnyKernel" or something like that. Well, afterwards, I rebooted and the boot animation has been replaying over and over again. I can still access Recovery and Download Mode, so I'm wondering if somebody can help me out from there? I think I have learned my lesson, lol... Somebody please respond to this.
if your able to get into the recovery, do you have a backup that you can restore?

Understood, thanks for replying though, much appreciated and I would have, but I'm not sure if I can get access to the device's storage through recovery or any other way with it being soft-bricked, I haven't saved the ROM file in storage either.
Have you tried deleting cache and data in recovery mode? try installing a stock rom (basically a stock kernel) and reflash the startburst ROM.
1)FLash via odin (refer first thread for available stock ROMS in developer section)
power+volume down key > right icon
OR
2)Via CWM recovery(accessing internal memory):
If clockworkmod recovery is intact (else flash via ODIn, link first thread developer section)
try adb commandline:
c,d,e:\wherever is adb.exe\adb push firmware.zip /sdcard/
than install the firmware.zip(first thread developer section) by choosing the appropriate option in CWM recovery!

Yes, I done that right after I realized I was bricked. & I would, but I do not know of a way to gain access to files via computer with my tablet being bricked, do you know of a way?
Sorry, did not see the rest of your post. Can you post that in simpler terms?
CORRECTION<easiest way>:
Download stock rom (search exactly for PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5)
Flash the ROM with ODIN (you probably know what odin is!)
>to flash with odin enter download mode in tab (power +volume down > left icon selected with left key and confirmed with right volume key)
HURRAY! now flash starburst as you did very first time.

I agree with Mug. if your familiar with adb this is the method i would try. You can push the 3.1 stock zip to your sd card and it will be there to flash with CWM.

Okay, I mostly understand now. I know what Odin is, but I'm not sure how to flash the ROM through it. I'm looking at it now, where do I put this at? PIT, BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE, CSC? & What options do I check?
recheck the rom to be downloaded, its NOT the zip one mentioned before. Once you get the referred rom(PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5) in corrected post, put it in pda, default selections of odin and start flashing.

Sorry my friend. There is no Odin flashable stock rom file yet. I know for a fact a dev by the name of IronHide is working on one. He told me himself it will be ready in a few days.
Are you familiar with adb? Do you have the android sdk on your computer?
There are three stock odin flashables,
1)PDA_SIGNED_P7105.tar.md5
2)STOCK euro (uploaded by me)
3)STOCK arabic (uploaded by me again)
I assert the OP to search and flash the first one as its non touchwiz and native US retail version. The numerical error (7105 for 7510) was made by the original poster who posted the rom.

Could anyone tell me how to install CWM recovery on the GT-I9100G ???
I've rooted it and it has Superuser but it doesn't have CWM... (It has the Download mode)
How can I install it ?? Please...
Go to the development section and find a kernel meant for I9100G which includes CWM recovery, then flash it.
From a quick look, [KERNEL][2.3.5][03-01-2012]superatmos v2.0 ONLY for *I9100G* and [KERNEL][I9100G][2.3.5]MyGKernel - CWM5, Root, CIFS.
How can I flash it If I don't have CWM recovery ??

No.. Actually didn't know how to use Odin !! But now I do...
find your build number and find the corresponding cf root kernel
and download Odin
and your phone on download mod and connect itto the computer
and flash the kernel via pda.
and it will have the cwm

Oh man, why after all that did you decide to flash a ROM meant for the I9100 on your I9100G? You're lucky you didn't do more harm, since it even includes a kernel (Siyah) which is also only for the I9100. Anyway, my patience ran out about 6 posts back.

Ah, that's too bad man.. I'm guessing you most probably can't access CWM, if you did in fact install that.
It was meant ONLY for the I9100, not the I9100G. Your best bet is going to download mode and installing an official Samsung ROM via Odin. I suppose.
Then doing the usual yabba-yabba to get your phone rooted again. This time make sure not to install stuff not meant for your phone..

Take out the battery. Before putting it back in, hold down the Volume Down and Home buttons. Then press the power button. Let go of the power button, but keep the others held down. You should now be in Download mode.

Right now I'd just concentrate on getting the phone back in working condition... install an official Samsung ROM to start with, then start tinkering with custom stuff. And be sure to read everything very, very carefully.
Is there any Custom ROM with root that I can flash directly without going back to the stock ROM ???
All,
I kinda ran into an issue after i was trying to upgrade to ICS on my Galaxy S II.
I downloaded the ROM that Faryaab posted on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487 .
SInce i upgraded to Android 2.3.6 before using the information from Intratech in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 post i also installed CF-Root 5.
Using CWM version 3 i installed the new firmware that Faryaab posted.
I placed the extracted tar.md5 file in a firmware folder on the phone's SD card. At the start of the install i selected "Keep CF-Root"
But after the phone rebooted one and continued with the install i briefly saw an error.
After this the phone rebooted again but froze at the "Samsung Galaxy SII" bootsplash.
I am still abale to get into CWM Recovery but í don't seem to be able to install another ROM or do anthting else.
Also i'm unable to install any updates using Odin3 v1.85 but this is probably due to the fact that i have CWM installed.
The same go's for "Odin3_v3.04" and "Odin Multi Downloader v4.28".
Unfortunately i'm a complete NOOB when it comes to this as i haven't played around enough to really know exactly what i'm doing.
I tried to explain everything i did as precice as possible and i hope someoone can help me!
I can't make a lot of sense of your post, but you don't mention download mode once.
I don't know how you've managed to flash something with "CFM version 3" (whatever that is) nor why you'd want to keep a GB kernel with an ICS ROM (that won't work).
Sorry for the confusion.
I used CWM version 3, i just noticed i made a typo.
I think the kernel is my mistake. I flashed the new ICS firmware before upgrading the Kernel...
Right now i'm unable to use Odin (for as far as i can determine).
I;m able to startup in download mode (power+volume up+home) at which point i am able to get into CWM Recovery (part of CF-Root).
That is all, im completely stuck with what i know.

I want to go back to the stock 4.2.2. How do I do that, thanks.
Mine or nitro's? And what did you flash AFTER the GE rom? Was it a kernel? Where did you get it?
That message only comes up if you foul up a kernel install or recovery install.
Both are fixable by an MDK stock kernel Odin package. I'm not linking it because it's in the how to root topic. So if you are here, you should already have it.
