im not sure bro. what you have done.

so you re-did all the steps and completed the advance method 2?

if yes, then yeah you can read the CM9 thread and flash BUT please becareful. if you made such a mistake of flashing wrong files, your phone might possibly be a brick. please read extra extra carefully

haha its seems im using method one unintentionally..but i dont understand what it means by this "This is a kernel including ClockworkMod Recovery for use on Samsung roms.
Don't use this kernel on aosp based roms like CyanogenMod!!!"

hi,

i have been updating the CM9 nightly and i was on 720.
so just now i tried to do backup from CWM (version 6.0..., got it from nightly 719 i think).

somehow the backup failed and i think it kinda screwed up the internal/external SD.
now i try to reboot, it stuck at the Samsung galaxy wording thingy.. sad.gif

i had  tried factory reset and cached wipe but no luck.

any idea what can i should do to revive my phone?
i wanted to reflash the latest nightly, but i think CWM can't recognize the drive or something like that as it says no file found when i chosed flash from zip... sad.gif

hurm..try to copy your cm9 zip manually into your external sd card and Flash CM9 zip from there..last time i put at internal sdcard but it cant detect the file because maybe i do the data wipe before..just like you..
