For future referance, if it's stock through Kies, use recovery mode in Kies, or you press Vol- Home and power to switch it on, and it should take you to download (Odin) mode, then just flash the rom through the Odin software.
Download the file via Checkfus downloader.
Extract the .zip once (If you download a .tar or .tar.md5 file this step is not required)
Boot into Download mode.
End any Kies process via task manager.
Open Odin.
Connect your phone via USB.
Click the PDA button and add the .tar file.
Make sure re-partition is NOT!!!! clicked.
click start and sit back for a few minutes.
I thought he said "how to soft brick"

You flashed wrong kernel.
EDIT: I made it short above just to let you know im trying to help. You flashed a kernel for GT-i9000, the international model, not SGH-T959, our Vibrants. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929 and download USB driver for your PC. Then go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=821625 and download Odin v1.7. And go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480 and download one of Odin flashable .tar Voodoo kernels, KA6, KA7 or KB1 preferably. Try match it with your ROM just to be safe.
Install the USB driver. Then extract Odin3 v.1.7.rar and run the executable. Leave Odin open. Turn off your phone by pulling out battery, plug USB cord to your phone and to your PC, press and hold volume up and down buttons, and insert battery. You should be in Download mode, and Odin will recognize your phone and display a COM#. Now click on PDA button and select the .tar file you downloaded earlier. And press Start button and wait untill everything is finished and your phone reboots.
The initial boot may take a bit as Voodoo will convert your filesystem into ext4. You will hear voice telling you what's going on. And you should be good to go.
Just in case above instruction doesn't work (I personally never flashed an i9000 kernel), try reverting everything back to stock. Doing so will require a couple of additional files.
Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475 and download JFD Odin Image and 512 PIT file. Extract PIT file first. Then launch Odin, put your phone into Download mode, and in Odin press PIT button and select the 512 PIT file you just downloaded. And press PDA button and select JFD .tar file. This time make sure Re-Partition option is selected. And press Start. This take a bit longer than just flashing a kernel, but no longer than 5 minutes. Once you're back to stock (original released in July 2010), flash any other ROM of your choice.

I did the exact same thing just a few days ago. I asked on this forum and got some great help. I downloaded the new Odin Software v1.3 and also downloaded the stock Vibrant software. Put them all on your computer,extracted, and hold down just the 2 volume keys then plug in your usb cable. This will put you into download mode. Look in the Odin program and it should recognize your phone, if it doesnt then youll have to download the drivers again. Its in the Vibrant Bible. After all of that upload the Rom to the pda section in Odin and make sure you dont click anything else then push start. This will take a few minutes to load then your phone will reboot and your back to stock. This worked for me hope it works for you.
Thanks everybody, I used Baywolf's, hope his name is spelled correctly, Vibrant toolbox and got into Odin and reflashed my phone back to 2.1 stock, them Samsung Kies to 2.2 stock. Thanks for the replies
im having the same problem except that when i reflash my phone to stock and try to turn on my phone again it wont...i have to reflash it everythime i want to turn it on and it deletes everything everything
i dont get how to fash the bootloader.... do i just flash the gb bootloader over my revolution rc1.2 rom or do i have to odin to stock jfd?
Your better of if you odin back then flash the gb bootloader through odin!

It doesnt matter when you flash the bootloader, if you are on a 2.3 rom the bootloader will work, if you are on a 2.2 rom then you will have trouble flashing anything conventionally. just follow these steps
1. Enter Download mode on your phone.
2. Open ODIN on your computer.
3. Plug in USB and check if ODIN recognizes the phone.
4. Remove all ticks from ODIN, except PDA.
5. Select PDA and browse to the bootloader TAR package file you wish to flash.
6. Click on Flash.
7. If ODIN says PASS, long press power for 10 seconds and it'll reboot, else, repeat 2-6 again...
Avoid exiting download mode if you think the flashing wasn't correct. If however, the peogress window did not start flashing any file, you might just manage to safely reboot and re-enter download mode.
Next time just read the op

kies is only meant for stock rom, not custom rom.

i was thinking the same thing. u cant flash to stock using kies on a custom rom, but u can flash back to stock via odin.
for odin to recognize your phone, please get your phone into download mode where by your screen will only show the word "downloading" in yellow...
Go to download mode (hold down Vol down+power+home) then connect to pc. If that won't work, put off your sim, sd, battery. Connect to pc. Now hold down vol down + power + home for a while. Now put in your battery and again hold down vol down + power + home. That worked for me when i broke my rom It don't have to work for you. You can try this only at your own risk.

if you has RESTORE the Backup in CWM, before reboot, perform full wipe/data. if still bootloop, Shutdown and perform full wipe/data again. I had experience too. Sorry for my English.
If your device not detect on your PC, reinstall SAMSUNG DRIVER and REBOOT.

Good afternoon XDA'ers!
I recently broke my phone and had a new one just sent to me now on insurance.
First thing i wanted to do was root it so u i could use titanium to do a restore from my old device.
Unfortunetly i was a little bit stupid in that i rushed things and think i may have used the wrong kernal/bootloader in Odin.
My phone rebooted and sits at the Samsung Galaxy S II loading screen with the yellow triangle.
I am able to get back into download mode, but not sure what to do from here?
Is there anyway to fix this? If so how?
Just flash right kernel/firmware
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
What have you flashed via Odin?
You could try to reflash from Odin the right kernel to see if it works.
This might help. Haven't read it all, though.

Click on CSC and choose the "GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-KJ3.tar.md5" file.
Click on PIT and choose the "...pit" file.
after its done, the yellow triangle should be gone.
unplug the usb cable, shutdown your device, get in the download mode again.
http://download.chainfire.eu/52/CF-Root/SGS2/CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KJ3-v5.0-CWM5.zip download this. unzip file and start ODIN click pda and select the tar file. then flash! now you are rooted w/o annoying yellow triangle! you can flash kernel whatever you want with darkyota

First thing is to find and download YOUR "Samsung Service Files" in the Following thread, If you can't find it or don't know it, Send me a PM!
{STOCK] Samsung ODIN Service Files
Then Download this version of ODIN:
Odin3 v3.10.zip
CHARGE the Device to 100% Battery.
Load ODIN as "Administrator"
Please Load the 4 Files in the Matching File Boxes.
Select the Following Checkboxes:
Auto-Reboot
Re-Partition
F. Reset Time
NAND Erase ALL
Phone Bootloader Update
THIS WILL DESTROY ALL THE DATA ON THE DEVICE!!!
SELECT "START" BUTTON IN ODIN!
I empathize you trying to help him but without physical access to the board, after overwriting a bootloader, either primary or secondary, you simply cannot use ODIN as the sbl is the one that holds the instructions for Download mode. No sbl=no data connection for ODIN.
sbl = secondary boot loader
