[Q] HELP! Deleted/formatted EVERYTHING using CWM

[dcs95]

To some this might sound stupid but I kind of 'Intentionally' deleted absolutely EVERHTING from my phone with CWM. I am really a noob at this stuff, i've been looking for threads explaining a fix (if there is one) but I haven't found anything. In case you're wondering, I deleted everything because I tried to flash a new rom and it just stayed with the one I was using previously, please help me out here.

When I turn on my Captivate it just stays on the AT&T boot screen.

ALSO: I can't go into CWM recovery, what can I do? Please help!

Simply flash an appropriate kernel through Heimdall/Odin. It's no big deal.

Ok, how do I know what the appropriate kernel is and how do I flash it?

As I said, I'm a noob at this stuff

EDIT: Ok so i've found a kernel and flashed it. The phone boots up but stays at a "Galaxy S SGH-i897" screen and it says samsung on the bottom, but that's it. I've tried flashing one of those one click odin from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 but it stays at "setup connection" please help me out here, haha.

I mean an appropriate kernel depending on your current ROM, i.e. if you're on Gingerbread, flash corn, if ICS, flash semaphore.

And yeah the phone isn't going to boot past there because you wiped /system probably. Either flash a ROM through CWM or Odin.

Well thanks guys! I finally got it working. I ended up flashing a stock GB rom that i got from that thread. Since Odin didnt work ( ) i used Heimdall to flash gb 2.3.4

Thanks for the help!
