[Q] HELP! rooted with zedomax kernal in odin, now bootloop

OK, I am a total noob.
I flashed the zedomax kernal with odin and now I am stuck in a boot loop. I tried using odin to flash the stock kernal, but that ends in a boot loop as well.
How can I fix this? I can get into clockwork recovery and odin download mode, but thats it.
Sorry if this has been answered, i searched but couldnt find any specifics on what i need to do.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

boot into recovery...hook your phone to your computer...in recovery click mounts and sorage...mount usb storage...on your computer click open folder to view files...place a rom in there...once its done...click unmount on your phone...click back to main screen in recovery...click wipe data/factory reset...click wipe cache...click advanced...wipe dalvik cache...click back to main screen in recovery...click install zip from sdcard...find the rom in there and click it and install it...done.

Installed CWM, but I don't have the options for flashing internally

I flashed CWM via Odin and rebooted into Recovery Mode, but there is no option to flash a mod or tar from internal storage. I have 5 options in my CWM menu and they are as follows.
reboot system now
apply update from external storage
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
apply update from cache
I have the mods loaded on the root of my internal storage, but CWM wont let me get to them.
I tried flashing a stock recovery via Odin, failed.
I can turn on my phone and it works just fine, but I cannot get CWM to let me root the phone.
Any help?

Are you sure you flashd clockwork mod and not stock? It sounds like stock recovery is what you have. try flashing this in
Odin https://dl.dropbox.com/u/16085428/CWM-6.0.1.2/recovery.tar.md5

Sounds like stock recovery to me not clockwork recovery

This kind of happened to me, I have rooted plenty of devices prior to my SG3 and with CWM flashed through Odin 3.04 (Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time) checked. Everything passed as it should have and phone reboots normally. Upon powering down i went into recovery finding the stock recovery still there, NOT CWM's recovery.
Doing some research I found that if you check ONLY F. Reset Time and NOT Auto Reboot you will flash the device with a PASS and then the Download mode screen will stay on the device. Making sure that you have the USB cable removed at this point remove the battery. Replace the battery and reboot into recovery mode and you will see that your phone goes into Clockworkmod Recovery! BUT you only get this once, you have to repeat the steps using ODIN to flash CWM every time you want to use it, what a pain in the butt, especially if you do not have Triangle Away. I belive this is because of the new OTA update from Sprint (so I've heard).
Now i have the same kind of issue because apparently when i run CWM's ROM manager it says i have no CWM recovery installed after i have done it counless times.
Has anyone ran into this use as well? OP is this kind of the same issue you have? at the top of your Recovery screen it will tell you clear as day if you are using the stock recovery or CWM.

I say take the guessing out of it...Use TWRP

[Q] error mounting /data & /sdcard

I'm stuck on logo boot screen. I believe the problem is because I formatted the root partition of phone.
I can get into to download mode and install stock firmware. I can also install recovery like TWRP, OUDHS or CWM
I can't do factory reset b/c phone can't mount /data. It can't format /sdcard either
Any ideas? I'm thinking I need the pit file to restore the partition table but having trouble locating one
This happened before with my Galaxy Player and I was able to restore with stock firmware & pit

It kinda worked. I could boot into now but if I restart it gets stuck at logo unless I go into recovery wipe data, factory reset then install rom

I figured it out. Instead of factory reset with TWRP or CWM I tried with stock Samsung recovery
I Odin stock recovery. Sorry I forgot where I download it from but it was in one of these threads
(1) Put in download mode. Then Odin stock firmware (everything unchecked)
(2) Unplug USB cable & pull battery. Boot into recovery (vol up + power). It took a few tries to do this
(3) Factory reset & wipe data
(4) Reboot
Hope this helps anyone else with same problem

Bricked SGN2

Bricked my SGN2 probably wiped the the efs and now its corupted it says in recovery failed to mount /efs (invalid argument)
I was on emotion note 2 rom v4.5 then i flashed droid turk v3 and then assasin rom v7 till then it was fine and then i decided to go back to emotion rom v4.5 the problem starts from here as soon as i booted my phone after installing emotion rom there was no gsm so i decided to revert back to assasin rom but problem still exists then i tried wiping data cache no change at all then i flashed stock rom 4.1.1 via odin and after that i am stuck on samsung boot screen loop tried installing cwm recovery and then wiping again nothing happens my phone is still stuck on boot loop.
My phone is in warranty but i can't claim it until the binary counter is reset as it is 4 now so is there any way to reset counter via odin or recovery.
I nearly tried everything but in vain i have efs backup but its in .tar.gz format so i can't flash it via odin nor can i restore via recovery.
Anyone with help will be appreciated please help me guys its been 2 days my phone's been in this mental trauma

try a different cable/usb input on the computer, if that doesn't work download again and make sure the checksum is correct if possible
if that doesn't work try flashing philz recovery from odin, untick the reboot option, then boot into recovery without booting normally
then wipe everything and start over
good luck

You must flash stock firmware again. You can do it with PC companion or flashing ftf with flashtool. Boot it normally, then root it, and install CWM again.

Recovery mode(CWM)

Bakisha is correct.
But if you flash a kernel that have a CWM support (doom kernel - volume up / Lupus kernel v7 is the search button) then you don't need to re-install the ftf anymore.
You can just manually turn off the phone by removing the battery then boot the phone and use the specific button command to access the recovery mode.

If you still can open cwm, you could mount you sd card and copy the Rom again... You could install it again...
