[Q] Flash official ROM leads back to Recovery Menu!!

Hello!
I'm from Greece and I've come up with the following situation with my I9000 running stock 2.2 XWJPH!!
I've had lagfix installed and three days ago I wanted to take a full backup with my Kies!! So I had to unlagfix! Worked fine and went through Kies etc
After all this I came back to my OCLF but every option to install again OneCLickLagFix was Unavailable and was saying something about the playlogo and playlogos1 files!
Anyways somehow I managed to work it out by renaming these two files!!(After this I've found out that I should have checked Restore boot animation " first!!)
After the install of Lagfix it rebooted with a blank black screen doing nothing!!!!Today I had in my hands a USB jig so I got into Download mode and using Odin flashed two or three froyo ROMs (stock for the time, either with one PDA file or with the three files together with the .pit file) and one tweaked 2.2.1 but the best result was getting the following into the Samsung recovery menu:
update media please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
I tried wipe data/factory reset και wipe cache partition but situation is the same....only the format internal sd-card will save me?
But this way I'm going to lose my backup of titanium, right; Is there some way to get my Titanium backup folder from the internal_sd? Or maybe it's not in the internal_sd so everything is ok?
Adb also works somehow (I think), when I leave the phone to boot into normal mode without getting into the recovery menu (this happens just after flash only for once) and leave it till it gets to the coloured "S"!!
How can I give it a complete flash so as to recreate those folders that it is asking for?
Every way of help appreciated!
Thanks!
Even Format of internal sd didn't change anything!!Just tried it!!

[I9000] CM7.1RC update failed -> back to XXJPK failed - help!

I've been on CM7.1RC for a while, recently apps kept crashing for no reason. I have a lot of apps tried disabling some things with autostarts but there were too many apps and too many triggers and all to hard.
So tried wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, phone took a long time to reboot, was OK for a while but then same thing reoccurred.
So I decided to reinstall CM to the latest daily following wiki instructions, but I did something in the wrong order and got stuck in a bootloop before I had put the zips on the internal SDCard.
So I though, I'll go back to XXJPK using ODIN and restart from there. Again, bootloop. I have download mode and recovery 3e working, recovery 3e brings up error message:
update media please wait
E: can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media: can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet.
pease use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed​
I tried to reformat the internal SDCARD using the recovery 3e options and re-ODIN XXJPK but no joy.
Suggestions?
I am getting the same bootloop described in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466838
but flashing with the stock XXJPK I originally used did not get it out of the bootloop. Any other pointers?

[Q] Galaxy Mini Not booting only ANDROID written

Hi All
Need your valuable help as am afraid i might have bricked my phone. I am not savvy but can follow directions. I PROPERLY followed these steps on the ninjaromeo website and selected wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. And then selected "APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD" and selected the APPROPRIATE zip file of "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tass-KANG-signed-21102011". which was listed in the link. However it was not through the CMW recovery mode which i realised after doing it and it also said something like
E: format_volume: rfs for
at failed on dev/stl13 Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: rfs for
at failed on dev/stl14
Data wipe complete.
The after doing this i installed the ROM "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tass-KANG-signed-21102011" and after reboot it shows the normal Samsung GT-S5570 and then shows the letters "ANDROID" to the right of the screen in the middle. This is all that happens.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

You followed the ROM flash tutorial. But you missed the recovery install tutorial. You installed it via stock recovery. It looks like your phone is alive, so find the tutorial in general section by Bunnybugs007 (sorry if I typed the name wrong, I watched that tutorial almost a year ago), and it will work.
now flash a stock firmware through odin in download mode
then flash flash recovery
after that you can flash rom

Seems you are on stock gingerbread.. what I'll think work is flashing a custom kernel corresponding to the stock rom you had on your phone..
flash the kernel through odin by going to download mode.. try starting your phone if it works fine.. if it doesn't then custom recoveries give you option to mount the internal storage while in recovery mode.. connect phone to pc and then mount storage.. you should be able to access your internal card..
