Have you tried to get back into download mode? If you can then I'd suggest using Sfhub's one-click EL29.
Hopefully someone with more knowledge will chime in to help out.

In CWM recovery you can mount the internal or external memory so you can put a different ROM/kernel and flash it right in recovery. But still as Eso said it's best to get into download mode and use Odin

Not sure what you did and how you did it. Need more details. A lot more details. But if you can get to download mode (hold the power button + volume down till the boot screen shows), I'd follow Esoteric68's advice and use the one-click EL29 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 or try the EL26 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1623684. Make sure you use the 'Full Reset' options.

This one. I had the same experience and was able to go DL mode. Download the one-click odin rom from sfhub's thread (having kenel included one) and flash it.

All he did was flash the El26 CWM kernel we all use in ICS to flash from Rom to Rom, he is safe on where he is at.
The reason he gets boot loops is because it's a GB kernel and not an ICS kernel. The GT-I9000 is normal when using this file and happens to everyone right now when they use it.
He can flash a new Rom and such from where he is at, or if he wants to keep his current Rom he has to find an ICS kernel to flash through CWM that he has.

I told you this would happen in our PM conversation yesterday. I told you it would be OK and you would just have to boot into ClockWork Mod recovery from there and flash a ROM/kernel/modem.

Aokp flashing issue

Having the hardest time flashing this. Was running it all weekend till yesterday when I went to update profile (blazer gb). I went flash back and it will not flash I hang up on the sgs 2 screen. I've gone back to stock and re-root did everything I could right and still no go.
Went and did sfhubs el26 odin (which did put the triangle on the start up) and it wouldn't let me complete th flash due to it being the euro model. I don't know. Love this Rom super nice GREAT battery.
Wondering how to get this fixed on my end.

Hopefully you haven't messed your phone up too bad already.
Try getting into download mode and then use odin one click back to el29 and start over!

Sorry I ment the international version (gt9100) not the euro version. My phone works I have blend on here atm.
Alright so while I was on Aokp I
1. Flashed el26 with moblie odin.
2. Backed up Rom
3. Flashed calks wipe all
4. Flashed blazer 4.1
5. Updated profile.
6. Flashed el26 with mobile odin
Alright so here is where I was rushing.
7. Restored backup
8. Flashed fe16 repack
9. Boot.
So hindsight being the birch lover it is I should have done some wiping before step 7 and after step 7.
ROM wouldn't boot. I was able to get to download mode no and flashed stock el29 with pc odin. Phone still wouldn't boot. At this point I'm kinda getting worried I did something really dumb. Went into the stock recovery and wiped data and cache. Stock booted fine after that.
I root using one click and got my mobile odin on. Flashed el26 wiped everything tried to restore and wiped again and flashed kernel and wiped again. Wouldn't boot.
Did all the above again using pc odin el26 which gave me the triangle on boot up screen no bigger to me just butt ugly. Went into el26 recovery and tried to flash Rom fresh and still would go past boot up screen.
So I'm back on gb wanting silk back on my phone. Just don't know what to do next.

i think step 8 is where you messed up. I believe thats a TouchWiz only kernel. You need an AOKP specific kernel to boot AOKP

Yeah I'm pretty sure that you're right. Got home where I had access to normal Odin just in case. Did everything twice. Manual wiped twice, calks format script twice flashed twice wiped again twice and bada Bing pow. Dopest from I've ever use is back up and rolling.
One question I have is how do I restore a back up. I understand it can only be done with el26 kernel but I guess I'm not clear on the process I guess.

Are you really flashing the roms from here then? The I-9100 is a GSM phone and quite frankly the actual I-9100 forum has a much bigger variety and those are the roms you should be using. Not any of the ones from here since this is a CDMA device.

quite simple actually. Just odin/mobile odin the el26 kernel/recovery. Restore the backup, then flash an AOKP kernel. reboot and you're set.

In an el26 recovery, flash aokp twice. The first flash doesn't do it all the way. Then flash gapps.

No I have an epic 4g touch, but when you flash el26 kernel threw PC Odin it gives you the yellow triangle. I bought a USB jig on amazon for like five bucks that will be here on Friday and it will get rid of that stupid yellow triangle and reset my Odin count too.

Need help please

Hi i used the wrong recovery to backup my Samsung epic touch and now all I get is a blue light it won't start or boot to recovery or odin any help will be appreceiated. I'm using EL26 kernal to flash ICS roms I went to cwm touch recovery instead of rouge recovery and now I'm stuck.
I do also have the FE02 plus recovery I forgot to mention that with having all my stress.

Sounds like another hard brick... Your only small hope would be in a usb jig and then a jtag service, but both might fail and you now have an expensive paperweight.

Try the manual method to get into download mode (copied from sfhub's TAR posts):
Code:
Method #1
Power down phone
Wait for capacitative button lights to turn off
Simultaneously Press and Hold [Power] [VolDn] until confirmation screen appears
Press [VolUp] to enter Download mode
Without getting into download mode you're probably a victim of the eMMC lockup. But to know for sure, what kernel version were you on when you last tried a CWM restore or wipe?

I was using EL26 kernal. I should have booted into recovery manually but I used rom manager it booted me into cwm touch instead of rouge recovery. I was going to flash a new ICS rom so I wiped everything and formated system and when I pressed reboot recovery, and rather then just going back it froze so I waited a bit then pulled the battery that's when it wouldn't do anything except the blue light.
I used the e4gtauto file to flash FE02+recovery. Which I understand is the one you need if you are flashing ICS roms but i used cwm touch before I realized it was the wrong recovery it was to late.
BTW it won't go into download mode

OK, the behavior - specifically that the phone froze and wouldn't respond until you pulled the battery - matches the eMMC lockup. Unfortunately yours appears to be locking up during the boot process which is why you can't get to download mode. Only way to fix is to take to Sprint for replacement.
Still curious how you did it though - and let's try our best to find it so that others don't suffer the same fate:

Can you link to the post containing the file you used to flash? I'm not aware of an FE02 build - maybe Agat's FF02 repack? And can you also include source of CWM touch if from a different ROM?

Sounds like he used CWM Touch on an ICS build. It flashed the recovery through rom manager, but the recovery isnt built correctly for our phones. Its a hard brick and will need to get a replacement. YOU HAVE TO USE A GINGERBREAD RECOVERY FOR IT TO WORK RIGHT

Yea even then he stated fe02? Isnt that an ics kernal and also used touch which neither is good for flashing a new rom.. either way people make mistakes and like said already you have a nice paperweight.. to sprint you must go lol

If you want CWM use Option C in the Auto Root Package to install EL26+CWM (you are already rooted so Option A is not necessary)

OOOOOPS it was the FD02+recovery sorry

There's your culprit. Once you get it replaced you'll want to stick with GB or FF02 repack which was done with care to avoid triggering the lockup for now. Sorry you had to find out this way...

Help a super noob root and flash his phone

Ok I know i am supposed to read the Faqs and tutorials. But after wading through pages of content I have come out more confused than going in.
Basically all I want to do is get a new ROM (Cyanogenmod?) onto my phone in order to fix my stock ICS's broken bluetooth functionality, battery drain and overall performance. I loved this phone as GB but it has become the worst pile of stinky poo since ICS came along. My baseband ver is Fl24.
Now I have no clue where to begin. What's an Odin count? Kernels, modems?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

If you don't want to read then go watch some of qbking77 videos

**Not responsible for anything that happens to your device.
You're on stock unrooted right? First go to the android development for this phone go to the modems thread and find the one click FL24 rooted. Next make sure you have drivers installed on your computer and put your phone into download mode(While the phone is off power+volume down until you see the screen) and connect it to your computer. After that extract the one click and connect your phone which is now in download mode. Let it run and its should say success.
Ok now your rooted now to flashing the ROM.
Download mobile Odin from the play store(it costs but theres a free version on xda somewhere just Google it) Get the paid version if you woukd like to donate because of all of his hard work. Next download the el26 kernel(the repack with clockwork mod) and put it on the root of your SD. Finally download the version of cm9 you want and put it onto the root of your SD card.
Installing the ROM(You're almost done )
Open mobile Odin and when it asks you for the xda download just hit cancel. Now hit kernel and select the el26 kernal. Make sure you have 50% battery do all the safety precautions and then flash it. Take the battery out of your phone. Reboot to recovery(power and volume up) press volume up and volume down back to back a couple of times to make the power button work. Now wipe data, cache, and dalvick cache. Finally flash the ROM and reeboot.

I think there is also a one-click el26 with CWM floating around in the Android Development section. I've used it with success. YMMV.

Thanks for the walkthrough!
Those qbking77 videos helped alot. After 2 hours of research I have finally managed to get Wild for the Night onto my phone. Only difference is, I used the EL29 Directboot kernel. Not sure if I used the correct ver but hey it worked.

Regarding the EL29 Directboot kernel...is this the only way to flash for the TW ROMs that don't have custom recovery then reinstall the original kernel (GB08 in my case)?

Yep. You can also use an Agats Repack for JB to flash the kernel.

No CWM on EL29 + EL26 Recoverys

I am having issues booting into CWM EL26 + EL29 Recoveries.
I am able to odin the kernal but it just sticks on the Samsung logo if I try to access CWM.
It used to reboot and either go right into CWM or I would do Volume Up and Power to access.
I am currently on Paradox Rom GB27. I am trying to flash a ROM that needs EL26 or EL29 but cant access.
Any idea why I cannot access?
Also, if I have the charger plugged in (usb to comp), the screen gets stuck on a battery icon like its charging but doesnt move.
(think thats just because the charger is plugged in) BUT it seems that whatever this kernal is doing it the phone it is Freezing it at that first boot point.
I reflashed GB27 so im fine for now but just want to solve this mystery.
Any help appreciated! thanks!!

I can try mobile odin. I have the full version. I will give it a shot. The thing is
I had those kernals for over a year, always used them, worked fine.
Now all of a sudden they dont. I tried downloading agai , checked md5, everything appears correct.
I will post back the results.

No luck with mobile odin. Same thing. Stuck at the White Samsung Logo.
I am out of options. Unless there is another kernel I can try that is similar to el26 + el29.
Its weird how gb27 works fine... I just dont understand that. Could something be broke or misconfigured on my phone to not allow
installing el26 + el29?

Thanks for your help. I appreciate it. I will stick with Paradox for now.
I wanted to try multi window rom but flashing on gb27 gives force closes and constant reboots.
Is it possible that once im on gb27, I cant go back and flash a gb rom? Ive done it
Before so thats why im stumped. Its like my phone doesnt support it.
I went on rwilco and downloaded multiple files and made sure they were with cwm.
They all do the same thing. Heres one for you... would water damage cause those kernels not to work?
Phones fine besides the kernel issue.
Also is it possible when doing cleanup on my phone and deleting
Old backups cause an issue? I thought to myself... wait I can restore an old rom with
El29! Lol no where to be found, already got rid of them.

Then flash the el26 kernel zip..reboot recovery..

Try doing an Odin stock rooted Rom flash on ICS and then working from there using mobile Odin. Sometimes I can't do the pc Odin for those kernels so I use mobile Odin and it works perfect.
If you're trying to flash the new SHOShock Rom by TD then I'm having issues with that too. My phone gets stuck on a boot cycle and if I try to flash a nandroid back up then it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Only way out of it was flashing a GB27 rooted stock Rom in pc Odin.

How did you wipe the preload? I'm having issues flashing shostock and that might help me successfully flash it. Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 4

First, download the el29 recovery kernel zip located in the rwilco repository.
Next either flash, or already be on the gb27 agat recovery kernel (also can be found in repository).
While in agat recovery, navigate to "mounts and storage"
Select "format /preload" (and whatever else you want to wipe out)
Back out, then "install zip from SD card"
Flash the el29 zip and you should be good to go.
