Ok, I downloaded a custom kernel via the ROM manager app on the Vibrant's stock rom. Since then, haven't been able to do anything. It still can into recovery mode. I made a back up but that hasn't work.
Plus the boot screen changed. It says the usual Galaxy S logo but along with that, it now says GT-I9000 below that.
Any ideas on what should I do?
Odin back to stock. Tut is in the stickies. Always do your research fist.

Were you running 2.1 when you flashed this new kernel?
I accidently clicked on download vs cancel when I was browsing around the custom kernels section. Oh god I hate Odin.
Yes it was 2.1.
Do remember what the kernel was called? It was probably a 2.2 kernel. Which will wang the phone. Just download a 2.1 kernel and flash it. BOOM.
Thinking of posting a new thread???

This is the Vibrant Android Development Section, DO NOT post questions here...questions belong in the Vibrant Q&A Section
If you have developed a ROM, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing. If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?

I did the exact same thing when I tried installing Eugenes Gingerbread rom. I got the I9000 boot screen and then nothing on my phone worked. Many error boxes popped up. I was able to apply my backup I created though and everything worked fine.

This Forum is meant for the newest/latest roms .....e.g. AOSP, CM, or AOKP source builds. Kernels from factory source also can be posted here.
If you are porting a rom, it belongs in the normal development section, not here.
Stock roms should be placed in the General forum as releasing a stock ROM is not development. The ones from Samsung themselves as in new versions, new updated versions also go in General. Ones you jacked, cooked or modified..... those go in the other regular development section.
Also, Roms an Kernels that bring forth something new in coding ideas or revolutionary changes that other roms do not have should also be posted here...
Thank you, oka1
INTRODUCTION :-
I made this thread as I felt the need of having one in our section ..
Also, there also need to be an off-topic discussion thread of newbies and developers that should reduce the flooding of General Section. Also, it would be easier for new users to complete their 10 posts.
First of all , please read the our FORUM RULES......(click me)
Here in this Off-topic thread ,You can post almost anything here....This thread will also help the members to complete their 10 post's.....
Enjoy....
What should i do in OFF-TOPIC THREAD ..?? (for noobs)-
[*]Discussion which is about warez, advertisement is strictly prohibited ..
[*]Any Off-Topic Discussion should be done in this thread and you are free to ask any type of question here.....
Your opinions, chats, suggestions, tips, etc which can help other users. No flaming needed.
Your discoveries. Don't post other's work as yours
No need of using this thread as political or social or religious topic gossip
Great Thread for beginners.... If they are looking for a place to get all the info on rooting, roms, kernels, mods, etc. They should check out the official Roms thread ---- > HERE
I'm new to being able to flash kernels so I have a few questions. Do certain roms include custom kernels when the rom is flashed or do I flash them myself after flashing the rom? I'm currently running hyperdrive, it says it's on stock kernel, can I flash a different custom kernel? Is it recommended for this specific rom?
Using several tools, i cant get the S4s CPU clock to show above 1.7ghz....
Are there any good roms for MI1?

#1 thing wrong here:
XDA is a development site not a support site. As such members are expected to do the research, read through the development threads and decide what is BEST for them. The only results that would be posted here are what each member has found to be BEST for them by experimentation based on their phone/usage/setup/apps/signal strength. Please take the time to read through those development threads to learn all about the software you are about to drastically alter your very expensive device with.
#2 thing wrong here;
This is the General section all Questions and request for assistance belong in the Q&A section.
Please familiarize yourself with the XDA rules located at the very top of every forum section.
Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your future cooperation.

Have a great day!
Hello,
i want to install a new 4.4.x rom because of the art. Maybe it´s faster on our S2
So can you recommend me OmniRom or CM11 by Wayland_ace or anything else?
At the moment i use the offical NeatRom Lite.
Thank you :good:
Rom recommendation threads are forbidden. Expect mods to close this thread shortly.
Go to the development sections, read some threads, try some roms like everyone else.
Mod Edit
"Best" ROM/kernel threads are not allowed on XDA.
Please test these things for yourself.
This is the only way you will get an unbiased opinion,and then, you can decide for yourself if it meets YOUR needs.
