Hi I flashed a kernel from this link here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-1513287.html
At first boot it had some of my apps, so I tried to reboot to get back the other apps, and it looked like a factory reset for my apps and home screen. So I did a nandroid restore for the backup I had right when I flashed the kernel. Now the screen is stuck at the boot, and it won't go into recovery. Any help please?
What kernel where you on before? If it was CWM 3.0 then 5.0 won't be able to restore.
How are you trying to get into recovery? What ROM?
Uhh I was on the stock kernel and gingerbread, i was on cwm 5 pretty sure, I got cwm from flashing that kernel
I'm trying to get into recovery by holding the volume buttons and the power button
How did you flash the kernel? It's a CWM flash which stock does not have. Did you heimdell it?
Not to interrupt hecheon - but follow the guide in the second link in my signature to restore your phone. And read it all for your benefit. Don't restore a backup. We can talk about that after you fix your phone.

No interruption here. Just trying to figure out what this guy did and how he did it. Could be a really simple fix. And I was gonna toss a coin to decide whether to link him your guide or juls.
Anytime time I read nandroid restore - better to start fresh. Link him to Juls' guide. He may find an easier read. I'm on the app.

OK. Brainfart on my end. I forgot about that little tool. Follow lumins guide and you should be golden. Good luck.

Hey, I tried the second guide in your signature, I did everything right up to where I use Heimdall to flash. However, when I use Zadig to select my driver, and then flash, it prompts me to install my driver and open Zadig again. When I close it to try and just skip it, it just makes me wait, without any changes. I've been waiting for at least 30 minutes, how long am I supposed to wait for it to flash?
Let me know if you were able to get One-Click going. If not - try a fresh USB port that you have not plugged your phone in to yet if possible and start over.

You also need to flash the pit file. If you follow the instructions in this thread, it will tell you exactly what to do. You don't use Odin to install CWM, btw.
Phidelt82 is correct.
Start with that thread. That will get you back to stock.
Then this thread. How to Mod My MEZ. That will get you started from Stock to get Rooted and install CWM and then its your choice of ROM and Theme if you choose.
please please please.. read. read and read everything twice. go slow and have patience.
And ask questions. I do not get a chance to post so much at the moment but always willing to help where I can if I can.
now my phone can not to work。I press step by step, and now my phone finish except call 911, any other phone cannot dial, what reason be?
Need to activate？How should do?

Just cool down. Your phone is booting. It works. I don't work for USCC so I'm not exactly sure how it works but I don't know if you would have to activate it again. I suggest you take the phone to the store and tell them it stopped working. They will probably get it all fixed up for you there. Since it's stock right now you shouldn't have any problems (=
PS: In the future, don't dial 911 to 'test' whether you phone works or not.. 0_o

Woah, what do you mean you don't use Odin to install CWM? The newb guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=931169
says "
1.Shut phone off, pull battery out and leave it out.
2.Run odin (assuming you have it installed)
3.Load the cwm-recovery-all.tar file into the PDA spot"
And i've read like 15 other how tos that all say the same thing. That sounds like you install CWM with odin.
When it comes down to it here's the order to get ext4 and nameless kernel on your GB rom only.
MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING FILES.
EP1H ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/MU_PRZ9RUD9ZZ
NEW CWM ON PC http://www.multiupload.com/31963EOUA0 *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
EXT4 FORMAT ALL ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?6hx7f8g7c8vv6xz
KERNEL CLEANUP SCRIPT ON SD http://www.mediafire.com/?302ofs64v4ibp9l
NAMELESS KERNEL ON PC. http://www.multiupload.com/M7UYRWDE4R *MUST DELETE MD5 EXTENSION
Wipe all
Odin EP1F/H Leak
Odin new CWM (orange) *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
Wipe all again
In CWM Flash ext4 format all
In CWM Mount system, data, etc. NOTE* MUST MOUNT EXTSTORAGE
In CWM Flash your rom one that supports this... (preferably Eclipse touchwiz)
In CWM Flash kernel cleanup script
Odin Nameless Kernel *MUST REINSERT BATTERY BEFORE YOU ODIN THIS
reboot...samsung will flash about 6 to 8 times before it boots
P.S. Forget the quadrant score once you get this you can feel the power your device was meant to have. However I score in the 1500s.
And here I thought I tried every combination of things lol. I will give this a try once my childrens go to bed. How is that eclipse rom btw? Everything stable and working? If you have time will you provide links to all the necessary files. If not I can rewrite the OP for you with all of them in there.
I would greatly appreciate if the OP had links to all the necessary files. I'm dying to get the most out of this amazing device but this site is somewhat difficult to navigate even with the attempts to establish a template for naming threads.

Just got done doing all the steps now and am waiting for it to boot up.
I can't thank you enough if this works right lol.
And this thread is going to be sooooo useful to EVERYONE once them links are up.
I already had most of the files sitting on my drive where I have been trying every combination to get it working, but you sir have figured it out and I am infinitely thankful.
I'm on the galaxy S screen now, so it looks like everything is going to go well.
EDIT:::
And everything booted fine and the mount command displays my partitions as EXT4! Great job OP.

eclipse is awesome and stable. The only reason it has a bug or 2 (nothing major) is because the gb leak came like that. I am very picky and extremely happy with this setup. Now that im on this i will never return to ee4.:d

i've found everything but the orange cwm. i only found the blue, and using blue cwn i cant seem to find a mount ext storage option. =\
Do I need to reboot at any time before the very end?
This worked like a charm. I do really appreciate all the files being located in one area. I've been wanting to give this a try, but this was a no brainier! Thank you thank you!

In recovery you can see the option to wipe data factory reset, wipe cache and in advanced recovery you will see wipe dalvik. Doing this is what i mean by wipe all.

Thanks. That's what I thought but wasn't sure because you had "wipe all" before you have Odin latest Clockwork
These are the exact steps I took last night to get on ext4. Great post.

Ok another question:
Why would you want the new recovery (minus the md5 extension) on the SD card when you are using ODIN to push it to the phone? Wouldn't you want it on the phone? In the steps it says on SD.
Sorry I've never flashed kernels only roms so this is new for me.

The new CWM stays on your PC and you Odin it. You have to erase the MD5 extension for it to work. Just follow those steps exactly and you will be fine. The dev that created the CWM created it to be flashed thru Odin.

I understand that. I erased the md5 extension and it turned into a zip file. The instructions say on SD in the OP. That's why I was confused. So I shouldn't put it on the SD card, correct
EDIT:
It turned into a tar file when I deleted the extension, not zip
So basically, to save time, I will cut the story time and get to the point. Basically, right now my phone is able to boot into the STOCK recovery mode, but has no ROM installed. when powered on with just the power button, the samsung splash screen shows, then the screen goes black, and thats it.
I am limited by the fact that the stock recovery requires a signed update.zip package to execute it, and have tried to get things to "sign" my own packages but it has not been working. I have the CWM ver. 3.2 update.zip and it was working before with a modified stock recovery that did not check for signatures.
So far it seems there is not a single ROM out there for my phone that is signed that I can flash. If someone knows of one that will even let me get rom manager installed and get things sorted that way that would be awesome! That is really my last idea here, not sure how to flash a new recovery from the terminal or using odin or the android SDK or whatever.
any info is appreciated!
EDIT: most all of the links for useful downloads here are to multiupload.com......which just re-direct to a spam site!!

Next time, use the search button.
First off I searched, and have tried everything on forum before you say do a search
My kid bricked her Sidekick 4g
I tried to ODIN about 4 different Tars they all say they pass but it then boots into the Android recovery and says installing some. When i click reboot phone it turns phone .
Everytime i odin it reboots to a recovery. Is there any way I can get this phone to boot back to the original rom?
all the links I have either don't exist any more, or fail. Please advice

You said you've tried everything -- without attacking you I don't exactly believe this. ODIN isn't the ONLY way to "ODIN" or restore to factory default.
Try this. It's easy to use, fast, and there's tons of support on it. Most people who have had problems like this have solved it with Adam's tool.

It seems that Adam's server doesn't have that file anymore.
actually that was my first try however link was dead.. So You better believe me!!!! However the second link works so we shall see..
I actually googled that too and downloaded one but was asking me to download a gz file
I'm a noob but I'd been trying my best understanding to ROOT T959W, I'd followed the steps as described in one of the forums here using odin 1.7 and stock+Voodoo-T959VKJ1.tar and the update in sdcard but unfortunately I don't understand, no matter what i do, when the phone turns on it shows the Recovery mode, I'm however able to boot into the downlod mode and my phone is detectable.
The phone was I guess bricked onetime but i'd used oneclick unbrick and it went back fine.
Please help me to at least get it to a running state not necessarily root.
I don't know if this is right, what should i do next ? Flash the rom CM9 ? or have i messed up ? :S
THANKS A TON!
Attached is a preview.
It seems a little odd. Did you clear everything and not flash a rom?

So you have the "W" phone from Wind and you flashed the bootloader? I can clearly see the Tmobile logo, which shouldn't be on a Wind phone. Just hold on, don't flash anything else and give a few, I'm working with bhundven at this very moment to try and dump my bootloader. Your phone still turns on, there is hope but the more you start clicking all over, etc the more damage you can do, so please wait.

Sure, I will be waiting, Yes it shows the Tmobile logo and when I connect it to Odinv1.85 it tells me this phone is T959V but infact its a wind mobile.
I'll be waiting for you guys and will be more than willing to donate.
cheers!

The T959V in odin is just a label in the ini file in the same directory.
You can change that to say anything you want.
I really recommend taking the time now to remove odin, and it's drivers, and install heimdall.
Look around in the wiki for help on that one.

Me and Brian are working on it. He had to go out for a bit, so waiting for him to get back on IRC and I'm testing it and risking bricking my phone for the good of the 959W users, so please be patient until we have a test package that can restore the bootloaders, param's, everything full for a "W" model. I found a very complicated work around to get out of the loop but I rather wait till we have the 1 click tested and it's easier to use and do.
For now, the standard 1 click should get you back to stock, just don't flash the bootloader at all.

Glad I was able to help but I couldn't have done any of this with the guidance of bhundven and others from Team Acid. Hopefully I'll have the true stock modem our phone came with soon, full stock recovery, etc and be able to put out a full package to help people who are bricked or want to go back to stock.
