Well, I attempted to use SGS kernel flasher to install the infuseGB kernel. Now I'm stuck with a bootloop and I need help fixing it.
Anyways, Odin confuses the crap out of me. I put my phone in download mode but all odin does is light up a box with com3 in it. I've reinstalled drivers but I'm not sure what to do next.
All help is appreciated.
I had a similar issue after flashing a kernel that way.
What ended up fixing the boot loop was using Odin to flash the stock Rogers kernel.

I'll try that if I can:
A: figure out how to use odin properly
B: find the stock AT&T kernel
This has turned into one big mess.
Well, I figured that out.
Now what is the proper way to flash a kernel from bone stock?
I'm rooted.
I'm installing 3e recovery.

There's three ways...
1. SGS flasher (obviously not working for you)
2. Flash from recovery if kernel is in a zip file
3. Flash through Odin or Heimdall
Remember to flash a GB kernel you must first be on a GB rom!

Ok, I think this is my problem. I'm not on a GB ROM I don't think.
I've got the kernel in zip format. Should I install, say for example, the doctorz ROM and them flash the kernel?
My cwm recovery is dark green,will I still be ok?

download the attatched kernel zip
Open SGS Kernel Flasher, select choose kernel, select the file you downloaded, and select flash kernel. Your phone will reboot and begin to enable Voodoo lagfix. Let it do that and boot all the way up. It will take a while (5-10 minutes) because it's converting all partitions to ext4.
Download chosen rom zip and place it on your internal SD card.
Power off your phone.
With the phone powered off, hold both volume keys and the power button for about 10 seconds and then release. This should boot you into RED CWM.
Select "install zip from sdcard" and select chosen rom zip.
Once that finishes, select "wipe data/factory reset".
Select "reboot system now".
once rebooted sgs flash the any GB kernel you want, remember to read and make sure which ever kernel your choosing is GB or Froyo
I flashed it, and thankfully it didn't bootloop. However, my cwm is still green.
Scratch that, we are in the red now! You are a king among men.

Don't know if this helps but my infuse was stuck in a boot loop after adjusting the default launcher. Going into CWM and reflashing the su fix got my phone to boot properly.

To get video back flash stock kernel with sgs kernel flasher here:http://www.multiupload.com/PP69TXBEA5
UNPACK RAR AND FLASH ZIMAGE ONLY!
OKAY....I HAVE NOT PERSONALLY HAD THIS ISSUE, BUT TO BE SAFE, BEFORE FLASHING STOCK KERNEL , BOOT INTO CWM, SCROLL DOWN TO VOODOO AND DISABLE VOODOO LAGFIX. WHEN IT BOOTS YOU WILL HERE THE SEXY LADY DISABLING VOODOO. WHEN IT FULLY BOOTS BACK UP YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO FLASH STOCK KERNEL WITHOUT ISSUES.
ONCE AGAIN, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUSTS...

Man you're fast. I just got the leak, didn't even have time to uncompress it.
Excellent. So if we flash the stock kernel and get video working again, what are we losing in the process? Sorry if this is a noobish question, I'm just now switching from galnet MIUI.
Shouldnt lose anything...and you will keep root also...

You gain video and hdmi back. You may have to make a slight change to one of the void files if you lose access to your CD card.
I see. Thank you for the help! I was told about this file before, but when I tried editing it last time I messed it up... don't you edit the last value to a different number or something? Do you know what number that is? Thank you guys for the help, I really do appreciate it, what with all these awesome leaks. :]

You will also lose your voodoo filesystem optimizations, init scripting support and the charginghacks/undervolt capabilities (if you like Entropy's kernel).
Well I enjoyed it for 5 minutes before going back to cm7 with thunder script but I still appericate the upload as something different always looking for my next rom fix.

Don't you have to convert you file system back before flashing the stock rom?
Yes, I unpacked the zimage file from the .rar and sgs kernel flasher rebooted the phone automatically after applying it.

Did you disable voodoo lagfix in recovery before flashing the stock kernel? Not doing that can cause issues, if I'm understanding this correctly.
You dont have to disable voodoo....all i did was flash thru sgs and it booted up fine...if you are stuck however then disabling voodoo might fix your problem

No, I don't believe I had any lagfixes.
I was running stock froyo with only root and cwm installed
I downloaded the .zip for the leak
booted into recovery and wiped data/cache/dalvik
flashed the leak
phone booted up fine
installed sgs kernel flasher from the market
extracted zimage file from the .rar in the op
used sgs kernel flasher to flash the kernel
phone rebooted and now stuck at samsung screen
I've pulled the battery and then tried to reenter recovery mode, but no dice
I am going to try unbrick through download mode and heimdal
Ok..well i didnt know you were coming from froyo...i dont know how flashing this from froyo would work since i cant even remember when i ran froyo last. I came from my catyrom....might need to be on gingerbread with gingerbread bootloaders ...

1.repartition from odin
2.took and the battery and place it
3.flash xxkpe pda,modem,bootloader,csc
4.wait until phone booting and reset all data(press *2767*3855# in dialpad)
5.flash xxkpe all file again
And that's the right procedure?

without pit or with pit?:silly:
I'm not sure bro but what you mentioned is the right way to go back to GB. But im not sure what did Dhiru told you about modem. What im doing is i have my backup custom rom of GB. So if i want to go back to GB i just restore it from CWM.
dude, a very simple instruction from Dhiru, do not flash modem with odin, it will corrupt your partition of CM alpha 4 which is using MTP system.
Alfix, have explain that use adb push to push the modem.bin of your choose to the /radio partition if you face radio issue or use a CWM flash zip to flash in recovery mode.
so, due to the new mtp partition system introduce by Dhriu CM10 alpha 4, the odin will not be use to flash anything. including the custom kernel.
how to go back to stock? you need to use odin with pit file, Lalotion case is a accident.
1. makesure your odin can detect your phone....
2. flash pit file first or together with XXKPE tar with or without bootloader. DON'T tell me it wont work, me and most of the member have done that, IT WORK!!
3. after flash KPE, your phone will reboot as normal.

Since upgrading to JB 4.1.2, I am not able to downgrade to ICS. After the flashing ICS via odin or for that matter mobile odin, is complete, it goes into a boot loop. Only way way out was again flash Jelly bean, it worked. Is there any firmware with full components like pda separate file, CSC separate file and phone separate file? I have heard that we need to flash these separate files via odin to downgrade. can anybody give a download link for the same?

you must go to stock ricovery ( with power + volum up ) and then wipe data
( your data are remove ( factory riset )
sorry for my bad ENGLISH
But I have heard that if one wipes factory reset through stock recovery, I am afraid one is liable to get bricked devices.

I would research the factory reset option. It shouldn't brick your device.

Just to make it clear.. wiping from stock is Safe IF you are in HC or JB ( someone said its safe ) but a big NO in ICS because it causes the tab to be bricked.. wiping from CWM on all roms is SAFE.. pls.. get your facts right..

If you want to downgrade from official JB to official ICS, you have to have .pit file
You can search pit file for P6200 in XDA and using odin to flash official ICS with option re-partition checked
First time, when my friend downgrade without .pit file, tab got stuck at SS logo even wipe everything fully. With .pit file, it succeeded

Did you check option re-partition in Odin?
By the way, stuck at SS logo is quite often happened if you did not wipe. You should try to perform full wipe.
There is an issue related to wipe using ICS stock recovery, you should use Odin to flash CWM recovery (without .pit file) and use CWM recovery to wipe.

My Samsung Galaxy Fit version was 2.3.4. I wanted to update it to 4. I found Cyanogen Mod but it didn't support my phone. I rooted my phone properly.:victory: I installed TWRP and flashed this ROM(from xda-developers.com) and Google Apps from the same post. Everything went OK.:laugh: Now, when I turn on my phone, Cyanogen Mod blue splash screen shows and two blue screens are spinning. After some searching I found that I got a loop. Now I cannot do anything with the phone. One of solutions that came to my mind is to flash a recovery(stock) ROM, but I can not find it anywhere for my model. The original, stock version is 2.3.3. I updated it via settings in Android.
What can I do now? To sum things up:
I have got a Cyanogen Mod loop
I cannot find stock image for my phone model
I do not know what to do!:crying:
EDIT: I found this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=42924000#post42924000. I will try it and post what happened.

The rom u flashed is slightly modified(for cwm) with some tweaks which r not there in samsung stock roms(like max upto 787Mhz, init.d tweaks etc...) However, the real original way to flash Gingerbread for galaxy fit is via Odin. Android 4 isn't officially supported for FIT so it's only custom supported in the form of CM10.x custom roms & hence, can't b flashed via odin.
