[Q] Cellphone is looping at splash screen after kernel update topic




Hi everyone,

First of all, thanks for all the help/development done here, it is really awesome. I am new to rooting/rom so, I've spent a lot of time reading forum threads and looking at people's issues and it's been really helpful.

Yesterday, I spent all day trying to update my Bell Mobility Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant GT-I9000M from Froyo 2.2 to 4.2+

I sucessfully rooted the device, installed SpeedMod kernel(with Odin 3.04) and got CWM Recovery working when I restart the cellphone.

Afterward, I tried to update with different ROM(CyanFox, CM11, Mackay OmniROM...) but always got Status 7 error at CWM. So I figured I'd try to upate to a recent Kernel and installed GearKernel_JBPlus_Vibrant_1.0.3v.tar trought Odin. The phone got in an installation loop. Here is a poor webcam photo of the error(sry couldn't get better) : http://i.imgur.com/L3b0RmF.png. It says something like Estimating(?) volume for path [grep], Can't mount grep, Installation Aborted. Restart, splash screen, installation aborted, loop.

I had this loop at other occasions trying to update Kernel. The solution had been to put the cellphone in Download mode and reinstall Speedmod Kernel with Odin. This is what I did again.

It allowed me to get in Recovery mode but I couldn't go passed it. Attempt at restoring backup didn't worked. So I decided I'd go back to everything stock and followed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1047087 and used Odin with the PIT and TAR files.

This got me in my worst position so far. If the cellphone is plugged, it loops between dark screen and the little "loading thingy" before the battery, but nothing more, no battery charge. If I try to open it without the plug, it display the GALAXY S GT-I9000 splash screen(which is weird cause I'm using I9000m) for a couple second then goes dark.. Then splash screen.. then dark... pretty quickly.

I can go in Download mode but I haven't succeeded to get in Recovery mode. I have adb on my computer but I haven't been able to call anything from it at the point I am.

I have found different threads showing different solution for various problems but I feel like I tried enough and I'd like to avoid bricking my cellphone so I decided I'd make my own post detailing the steps I took.

What should be my next step to get out of this loop? It seems like I only have Odin/Download mode to help me.

Thanks again.
