My friend recently bricked her phone by installing the wrong kernel. Is there anyway I might be able to help her fix this? I put the phone into download mode and tried to connect to odin but it doesnt seem to find the phone. Are there any other ways to fix this? Any info would be highly appreciated.
DL the drivers reboot and try again. Try a different cable. If you can into DL mode its gonna be ok
I agree try downloading the drivers and flash a stock kernel. DL mode usually means no brick.
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274337 Go here for the drivers needed for odin to work.

Uninstall and reinstall kies. You can flash the stock Tom via Odin and then re root

Does your friends sbl show the phone to be an I9100?
Shoot me a pm if you have any questions. Long story short is an I9100 sbl disables the SPH-D710 USB controller.

I tried to flash a kernel for my gio, but i mistakely installed an an spica kernel and now when i want to turn it on it shows the samsung logo and it suddenly closes the same with recovery mode but download mode works
what do you think i can do, can i repair it without going to service because my phone is rooted and i lost my warranty
If you cannot boot into recovery mode (which i would think you should be able to), but you can boot into download mode, just flash a new Kernel through ODIN If you dont know how to use ODIN, just hit the search bar or youtube, there is alot of tutorials!
If download mode works flash a stock rom with Odin.
Look on tutorials how to flash a rom with odin. If You can still enter download mode, so can you flash a rom.
Your device is not really bricked, you just cant boot.
For more questions, just ask

Dont tell them anything about custom rom , root, kernel, ...
Because that will void your warrently..
you tried to update via kies and while it was installing it lost connection to your phone and your phone couldnt boot anymore.
Something like that, involve KIES, dont involve the kernel mistake, then they or dont repair it or dont do it for free

i accidentally flashed international s3 rom(i9300) to my sgh i747 m and got it bricked??can u guys help me to unbrick my phone..
I believe if you flash the wrong model rom you are hard bricked.
Try going into download mode. If you can you can ODIN back to stock. If you can't go into download or recovery you'll need to have someone JTAG it for you.

If a JIG doesn't work to get in download mode, you'll have to contact them for JTAG.
