Something I found, may help with troubleshooting non booting kernels

I think it just bypasses first boot splash screen

Volume up + Volume down + camera + power


Little kernel is our secondary boot loader which initializes the Linux Kernel zImage and Ramdisk

It is not GPL so Samsung does not have to provide source code.

HW Revision 9
Booting Linux @ 13008000
ramdisk@ 14000000

cmdline: mem=336M console=ttyMSM2,115200 hw=9
 
One of these days, I'll do a dis-assembly of my phone, or I'll buy a busted one to tear down.
Maybe I'll find a JTAG header or something fun

My biggest fear is a piece of fuzz or dust between the display and the touchscreen that would piss me off every time I look at my phone :)
Oh, that and snapping a spring-tab when taking the phone apart
