Get Odin, push stock rom pit then do the root again and flush custom rom that has kurnal in it.
Your problem is because the rom and kurnal right now don't match.
Second opsion is if u did nandroid back up, then in recovery just do restor and flash new custom rom with liens, no need for Odin and re root
What lol.... ? ...... i think he meant download odin. And the stock tar. Odin the stock tar. Then odin the cwm recovery tar. Then flash the super user zip in cwm. Then wipe data/cache and flash a custom rom. There a million and one diff reasons why u could be soft bricked.
Go here and follow all instructions exactly as written http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ9wNT21c_s&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Tar goes in the pda section of odin. And make sure to download 7zip the tar is inside the 7z file. So u need to decompress it first
thanks for help

Revert back completely to stock. All the files are in the dev section. Make sure you can get back to stock
With these phones, if it powers on, you can save it. No hardware problem

I flashed back to stock 2.1 on my samsung vibrant.
the phone boots up fine at first, then all of a sudden i get a wierd screen and the phone reboots automatically. i dont know what the problem is. can anyone please help me with this problem.
the phone is continuously rebooting for the past half and hour. and i have no idea what to do now.
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS.
im posting a photo of the "wierd" screen below. the quality is crappy, but i cant help it.
Were you coming from a GB rom? Be sure your not mixing bootloaders...Not sure what that is but if you flash just the stock kernel in ODIN, with the phone off (pull the battery)and using the button combo try and get into DOWNLOAD mode. you might recover it....or flash the Bali kernel and then try going back to stock again.

yes i did try flashing a 2.3 ROM,but it didnt work properly, so i tried flashing the stock 2.1 again using ODIN...it got installed, but later all these things started happening.
i even flashed the 512 PIT file that came along with the stock 2.1, but still no use.
can u please post the link to the kernel you are talking about and also how should i flash the kernel?
thanks for your reply.
hey the problem is solved. i installed eugene's 2.2 leaked build and my phone is back to normal now...!!!!
thanks for all your help. i really appreciate it...!!!
Glad to hear you got it...just be careful to know which bootloaders you are on, GB or FROYO... unless you have alot of problems with a ROM its not really necessary to ever flash back to stock...I flash rom to rom without any issue as long as you:
1. wipe cache partition,
2. then wipe dalvik cache and then
3. factory reset all from CWM...
4.then flash whatever .zip ROM you like.
Flashing back to stock FROYO/ECLAIR from GB with an odin rom you must be sure the stock rom either includes both PBL and SBL or no bootloaders at all and then your good.
Sorry people im new to Samsung and got a question... i used odin to flash CWM to my girls skyrocket... im pretty sure like nvflash i only have to do that one time... but anyways... ive heard that it counts the times that you've flashed something to the phone... if i only use CWM to flash rom's etc does the phone or odin still count those... or does odin only count the flashes when i use odin to flash something...?? sorry guyz im use to fastboot and nvflash new to the whole odin thing...although my next phone may be a samsung.. thanks for any help in advance....
Yes odin Only triggers flash counter When you use it!!!!!! For me i never used Odin so my cusom binary dLoad says No!!!!!!

ive flashed roms many times and i've always resorted to stock rom because its the most stable, the only times the flash counter was triggered is when i flashed back to stock. Is there a way to reset the flash counter, not that i care because if my phone break or need warranty, i dont send to for repair, rogers send me a new phone and i put the broken one in the box and send it back to them. but if ive ever had to, how can i reset flash counter?
it only gets triggered when you flash KERNEL in odin/heimdall, NOT just flashing recovery or /system.
CWM will never trigger the flash counter, period, no matter what you flash in CWM

He's asking if cwm will trip the counter in odin. It will not. I flash 3e and cwm back n forth for clean wipes before I switch roms and I'm still showing NO. Flashing a rom will from what I've read.

Silly question, but why do developers package ROMS for ODIN and not CWM? Is it a lot more work? For instance, I cannot find Rogers stock ROM for CWM.
.......the tars can for one take you back too 100 percent stock. And 2 if ur soft brickd ...and your phone wont even boot to cwm. Odin is your only answer. The tars get you back to stock recovery also

I will try flashing to xxkpe
Are you sure that the Factory Settings issue wasn't caused by you flashing XXKPE first then XXKPQ?

You will only get the select locale etc just once....
Do not factory reset everytime.
I know the problem here. You flashed from UC kernel , and you must have a partition that was converted to EXT4. you then flashed stock kernel but of course your phone will not boot after that, because stock kernel does not support EXT4 format. after you flashed stock kernel you should go into recovery menu and wipe/factory reset, so the partition will go back to default format, and you can still retain stock kernel.

As long as you don't flash via Odin you will not increment the counter. Flashing via clockworkmod recovery is safe.
The first post of the thread where u downloaded from has instructions on how to flash. Please read it again.

I assume your phone is rooted and CWM installed.
1. Reboot in CWM ( turn off your phone , then press both volume keys and press power wait for samsung logo and relese all buttons)
2. go to backup and restore and buckaup your phone just in case go back
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache partition
5. go to mount and storage and format system go back to main menu
6. install zip from sdcard
7. choose zip from sdcard
8. flash rom
10 . go back to to main menu and go to advance wipe there Dalvik Cache
11. back to main menu and reboot system now.
Wait for full reboot setup whatever you need to setup. If after rom and modem flash you will have no mobile data reflash rom again.
Good luck

You can flash/run various modems, kernels, and rom combinations depending on your particular wants and needs. If you want to stay close to stock, and take advantage of the symbiotic relationship between the UCLA3 rom, kernel, radio, then yes flash both UCLA3 files in cdshepherd's OP. (his ROM has the kernel included). I would suggest flashing modem (radio) first... reboot.. then boot back into CWM to flash rom. For me (and others) when the modem is flashed after rom, the data connection is lost. Follow the install instructions in the OP of the rom. Also, take a look at silver03wrx's Silver_Rom... it's stock UCLA3 but he'll be theming/deodexing it going forward. By the way, I found my HPSA+ speeds significantly increase using the combination of the UCLA3 kernel and modem. Good luck... hope this helped.
Thanks a lot DoctorQMM. That helps a lot . I think I want to stay as close to stock as possible right now while waiting for ICS. I just took the plunge and rooted my phone for the first time so I'm learning as much as I can via google/xda but sometimes I need reassurance just to make sure I don't brick the phone while doing something stupid.
Ok so yesterday I received a cappy from someone on here that I told them I would try and fix. I am not charging them anything and am actually paying shipping back to them. When I received it and turned it on it was stuck at the end of the cornkernel bootlogo. I thought hey this will be easy and flashed the heimdall version of I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click. Phone rebooted and is now stuck at the att logo. So I flash cornkernel, its stuck at the end of cornkernel bootup. So I decided on a whim to try and flash this kernel Devil3_1.1.3_HB_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120807, luckily that got me into recovery, so I did a full backup of all the stuff on his internal storage and completely wiped the phone, wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, format boot, format system, format sdcard, format cache, format data, format datadata (yes I know I wiped some things twice) . Then I flashed my rom, it just reboots to recovery after the flash, still reboots after a reflash of the rom. I then wiped everything again and tried flashing CM9's latest nightly to see if I could get it to boot up. Still reboots to recovery. So far all together I have flashed I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears, i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe, I897UCKF1_withBL,SGH-I897_I897UCKJ3, KK4-SE-One-Click, JF6 With Bootloaders, SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click Followed By I897UCKK4 Stock, Wipe, with options to install Bootloaders, Param,and Re-partition-One-Click both are heimdall. All of those either left it stuck at att or kernel screen after I flashed a kernel. Anyone got any ideas? I am almost to my wits end.
Try the Odin version of this... Stock KK4 one click...it will do ya a full wipe and repartition for sure.

Not that I know of, It isn't my phone so I do not know the history other than him saying it didn't boot past the kernel screen and receiving it and seeing that and then what I have done. Normally the sd card data from what I have seen is wiped when the eu bug happens from what I have read, maybe I am wrong, but since I backed up his data off the sdcard that is why I do not believe it has had the eu bug.
Anyone have any more ideas, I tried the EU Bug Instructions @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=85 Replacing the vold.fstab in the rom and also flashing it with CWM without luck. I am still stuck with it rebooting to recovery. I am still waiting on him to tell me his address again so I can mail it back to him since at this point I am lost. I told him MobileTechVideos would more than likely be his best shot at getting it fixed though.

Long story short, recovery is iffy at best for me. I went through something similar to this when trying to go from CM10 back to CM9 for the first time. Ever since then recovery has not been right.
What I did was
Install a stock one-click with bootloaders, used odin to flash speedmod kernel and then used that recovery to flash CM9 in three successions wiping everything each time. Somehow it took, and now I am no longer a crack flasher because I have the same kernel splash screen problem every time.
So,
Use this http://www.mediafire.com/?5rcofbzusoor6mv
PDA button in Odin3 1.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=566807&d=1302623831
Boot into recovery.
Flash your ROM
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Wipe /system, /data, and dalvik.
reboot recovery.
Flash again.
Try to boot normally.
Thanks for the idea, but it's a no go, Phone just stops at Galaxy S SGH-I897 Kernel Screen. I can't even get to recovery. Only way I have got to recovery with this phone was flashing an ICS kernel.

I have already tried all three of the Rogers One Clicks with none of them actually doing anything more than the Captivate One Clicks, It still doesn't boot past the first screen. Thanks for the input though.
You've been using a one click with 2.3.3 bootloaders, they're are 2.3.5 bootloaders available that have solved certain peoples sleepdeath issues, including mine. I've done this procedure on several captivates to take them from mangled and non-bootable to latest bootloaders and working recovery to flash whatever rom I need to from there on.
Use this one click that includes the 2.3.5 bootloaders - http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip
After that goes through and you have stock gingerbead, use this odin package to flash the included devil kernel package, that will give you the latest CWM recovery
http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip
After that, if you still can't boot into recovery, you have a hardware issue
edit: looks like you already did this more or less.......try it once more in this order? Then once you do this and boot into recovery, flash a rom and see if it will work

I'm going to do your steps again which is more or less what I have already done. I am waiting to hear back from the person so I can ship him the phone back and he can send it to MTV or someone or just junk it, its his phone and his choice. At this point I would say it needs Jtag or Unbrickable mod + repair. Although I am still trying ideas of mine and anyone elses lol.
EDIT: Still A No Go. Doesn't Boot Past ATT Screen After Flashing The Odin 1 Click, After Flashing Kernel then wiping and flashing rom, it just reboots to recovery
Well if the one clicks are successfully writing primary and secondary bootloaders and it's still not working, a jtag isn't going to do anything else. It almost sounds like the memory has a few corrupt blocks, but I can't say until you flash 2.3.5 BL's and see what happens
