Default [Q] Failed kernel flash, phone wont boot.

I wanted to flash the Siyah kernel, but failed. Now the phone is always stuck at the Samsung logo, and I can't even enter Recovery mode, only Download mode which implies I must use Odin.

Any advice?

Flash a stock rom in Odin, factory reset. Clean slate. Then try flashing whatever rom/kernel you want again if you're still keen.

Edit - Or...Flash stock rom, root phone, restore Nandroid backup (assuming you have one).
