As for rooting, you'll need Odin 1.85 and Corn kernel.

Sorry, but this seems to be the brick bug. So you didn't read and followe the warnings in all the stickies, right?
So maybe a good point for starting to read about brick bug here (this isn't meant sarcastic).
Easy help or solution isn't possible. You could try with your Samsung warranty.
Have you ever wiped on stock ICS ?

What I did before is to is to use CWM.zip to root the stock ICS and then flash to Criskelo ICS ROM
it went very well and I don't find any problem.
before after using CWM.zip to flash a different kernel (speedmod), it stuck at the logo screen.

Yes , I learnt the lesson of not using the temp CWM.zip.
after I restored my phone, it should be in the default stock kernel .
Are you suggesting I use Odin to install a "safe" kernel , for example , "SpeedMod K3-13 for Odin" and try a wipe?

Yes... u can use PC odin and the tar file of speedmod in PDA to change the kernel... moreover when u install the speedmod u get CWM automatically

I think this one is when you are sure shot brick, may be you should first try flashing rooted GB rom using odin and if that too didn't work, try the method in your link. You can find rooted GB in my sig.

Finally , PIT method as mention in the link works !!!
I got the rooted GB in my Note back in life now ! although I lost 5 GB after pit. it's better than a expensive paperweight before !
by the way, is there any way to restore the data that I have backup in stock ICS without bricks the note again ?
thanks

Great!! how did you backup? If it is nandroid then do not try to restore on GB and if TB or any other app then you can restore one by one, except system apps.

[Q] Help!!! URGENT!!! Something has gone wrong in flashing process.

Hello,
I am a completely new person to all this flashing. I wanted to put ICS on my galaxy s. It is already on 2.3.3 and I just recently rooted it using superoneclick.
Odin was doing its thing, then it came up with 'FAIL'. Now my screen looks like this (see attachment) and will only let me go into download mode.
What can I do??
All help is greatly appreciated.
Hey
Dont panic..just read my UnBrick Guide (Below)..itll solve ur issue..else you can downgrade to a stock firmware and start all over again..
you also goes into charging? Try to flash a kernel by odin in pda unmarked pit or partition
Hey. That's not such a bad thing. Your phone has no software on it, that's why you can't start or go into recovery. Simply get a ROM that can be flashed via Odin and flash it. That'll solve everything.
U can find roms here:

There's a guide in the Dev section (stickied).. a little reading goes a long way!
Basically it's gonna look like this: Stock KK4 w/o BLs with Odin -> Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (go in recovery to get root) -> Flash custom ROM as per their instructions -> Enjoy!
So yeah, little rundown but you have some reading to do to make sure you understand what you are doing.
Since u r runnin android 2.3.4 then u have gb bootloaders so u r good concerning that.
Simply Odin flash the .tar packaged KK4 Corn Kernel version 7.0A , afterwards reboot into the cwm recovery and install ur rom of choice that u should have copied to ur internal sdcard by now, per said rom's install instructions. (u will have to select to install it twice) Success.
--- Option is there, in the advanced cwm recovery menu, to gain Root access. But the big unrealized fact to a lot of users is that u actually don't need to have Root in order to flash a Developer's Rom. If u follow the method i just laid out. :thumbup:---
Enjoy ur Rom of choice !:beer:

Recovery is both volumes+power buttons. You release when the screen flashes usually (there are 2 AT&T image that look the same)
Hold volume + & - together with power button until u see the at&t logo, then release and u should be in recovery.
(Damnit ! ninja'd again !
Ok i guess this means i better get to work. Lol Later.)

Can you get in download mode? (volume down + power button)
I'd say to retry flashing Corn kernel with Odin 1.85 (don't forget the .pit)
If that doesn't work, flash stock KK4 without BLs, then reflash Corn kernel with Odin 1.85.

The .pit file.
When you use Odin 1.85, you need 2 files to flash a kernel: .tar and .pit
Your flash most likely didn't work cause you didn't have the .pit file (hence why I said a little reading goes a long way).
It can either be found in here (little search) or on the samsung website.
EDIT: here it is: http://www.droidevelopers.com/attac...752561-[download]-ops-pit-files-s1je4.pit.rar
If you don't know how to use Odin, there are plenty of videos on youtube. Please take time to really understand what you're doing otherwise you'll end up with a paperweight in your hands.

No, when using Odin 1.85, you put the .tar file in the PDA and the .pit file in the PIT.
Flashing Corn kernel will give you a cwm recovery and you won't need to root, just flash the ROM you want to as per their instructions.

Ohh thanks a lot but unfortunately I don't have a PC at home, so I can only try this in the morning. Btw your link for pit file needs registration.
