How To Flash a Kernel with Heimdall:
Alright, so to start off, I'm going to show you how to flash a kernel with ODIN so that you will have CWM and root so you can flash a rom.
- First, grab Heimdall from
- Now to put your phone in Download Mode. This will require two hands.
- Take out your battery, plug your USB cord into the computer.
- Then, push and hold the Vol Up and Vol Down buttons and plug the USB cord into your phone.
- Then put the battery back in and you should have a big yellow triangle with and Android digging with a shovel in it. This means you are in Download Mode!
- Now just click the "Utilities" tab and have it attempt to detect your device (just to make sure). If it detects it then go ahead and click "Start" and let it do it's thing.
I followed the steps and tried with [KERNEL][UVKJ6][BETA3.1] Subtly Modified Stock with CWM5 + Voodoo Lagfix [1/14/2012] and the other kernel as well. Not sure why my phone keeps rebooting after media scanning is complete. its a continuous loop
i have had that issues before. can you get into CWM

No. For some reason am not able to step into recovery mode after flashing the kernel. I enter it thru adb.

Please Ignore my previous post. yes I am able to get into CWM. I just figured it out the combination got changed from the stock. What are the next steps? I tried it using SGS kernel flasher as well. The problem remains the same.
are you just looking to flash a new kernel or a rom?
and out of curiosity, what is the new button mapping? cuz i've had issues haha
Recovery I have not figured it out yet. Yesterday it went to recovery mode somehow, but I was not able to figure it out as I was trying so many things. Will keep posted. Right now I enter recovery from adb.
What did you do for the boot loop after flashing the kernel? How did you fix it?
