Stuck at Samsung Logo : Can you flash a kernal via Odin?

---

The GN I bought recently was already rooted with official UK ICS and Franco kernal on it.

Without me trying to flash or do anything, a simple reboot now won't boot past the Samsung logo.

I've reflashed the UK official ICS rom in Odin, but that did not solve the problem.

I thought I'd try to flash the Franco kernal, but I think I need to put it on to an SDcard and flash via recovery.

The problem is, I don't have an SDcard.

So can a kernal be flashed via Odin? (Do you even think this is worth trying?)

You can only flash a kernel.tar via odin. If it is kernel.zip you have to flash it using CWM.

If you can get into CWM you can mount usb storage to PC and copy file to it.

Sometime CWM see sdcard as internal sdcard so you need to check both.

You cannot flash any kernel through Recovery, because you are unrooted after flashing a stock ICS Rom.

However, you could flash a custom ICS kernel via PC Odin (CF-Root or Speedmod tar). You will get the triangle, but that is easily removed by using new Triangle Away.

OK, I flashed Speedmod, and now I have the warning triangle (Dont care!), and I can get into CWM recovery.

It's still not booting past the Samsung logo. Is it now safe to wipe data/Factory reset?

OK, thanks for your help, guys!!

I'm now unstuck.

(A wipe data/Factory reset from CWM fixed)

You did a factory wipe from ICS kernel ......

Using franco kernal / CWM

I read in the franco kernal thread that is was safe to do so. is this not the case? It seems OK, but have I actually damaged something?

I tried REALLY hard not to screw this up.
