Guys... I´m in trouble... I´m on JPM and flashed CF-Root-JPM-v1.2-Busybox-1.17.1 but my phone was taking too long, like more than 20min at Galaxy S boot. I knew something did go wrong, removed the battery and I entered download mode again and re-flashed... Same thing! My phone is not getting past Galaxy S boot up picture!! I can't enter recovery mode but can enter download mode! Is there anything I can do to bring my phone back to life?! PLEASE HELP ME!
I already tried to flash new roms in odin. My device is recognized but odin hangs and does nothing...
I need some advice on this, did I kill a new phone?! I´m scared
Please Help!
- UPDATE: SOLVED!
Hi there, I'm having the same problem on my I9000B. Please help me.
This is my story, I had upgraded my 2.1 firmware to VIVO's 2.2 Froyo via KIES with the Kies Registry Patcher (used ZVV). Everything worked perfectly, but I wanted to root my I9000B so I made the terrible mistake of using CF-Root via Odin, (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108) following the exact instructions. The kernel replacement (zImage file) was for the I9000 so I had the touchscreen problems. When the phone booted showed Samsung galaxy S GT-I9000B and then inmeadeatly the "B" dissapeared.
Because of my n000bness I tried to use the zImage file from this ROM (VIVO's) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=858483), by downloading my own .tar created file (with 7-zip) of the zImage file. Here is were things went down. I got the android - USB cable boot icon. I could not go into recovery mode but I could do download mode, so I re-flashed VIVO's ROM (the one published here) with Odin:
I used the 803 .pit file, Odin 1.3
I did not check re-partition
I selected the ROM as the PDA file and I left PHONE and CSC blank.
the ROM was downloaded to the phone and Odin did not gave me problems.
My problem here is that I get the black screen with vibrations from time to time on boot. This is exactly what happens:
The phone starts showing "Samsung galaxy S.... GT I9000B (at least shows "B")
I can get into recovery mode but the following appears:
Code:
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 us UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
Then I did a factory reset, succesfully completed, tried again flashing the ROM but with Re-partition box checked (as instructed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596) but the same stuff happens.
Please tell me what to do! I know it was a stupid mistake trying to fix ony the zImage file, and stupider was using CF-Root on my non-compatible device.
PS: I can get into download mode with no problems
Code:
pda i9000bvjjpa
phone i9000bvjjpa
csc i9000bzwjp3
I have exactly the same problem
but i can go into recovery mode and download mode.
the galaxy screen is I9000 and my sgs is I9000B
any ideas?
A friend of mine has the same issue on his SGS. Both recovery and download mode working.
Have you done JUST like this:

1. Enter your phone in dl-mode, but don't connect yet.
2. Open Odin, tag re-partition, auto reboot and f.reset time, make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked. select CORRECT PIT-file (2.1 ROMS usually 512, 2.2 ROMs many times 803, samfirmware always tells which one to use next to the dl-link of a ROM-file), enter your phone in dl-mode, plug, wait it to be recognized by Odin.
3. Click start, wait until Odin shows PASSED, unplug your phone, remove the battery for 30 seconds, enter dl-mode again, don't plug just yet.
4. In Odin, click Reset. Then select PDA, Modem and CSC files compatible with the PIT-file used in re-partition, plug your phone, make sure re-partition NOT checked and no PIT-file selected (once again, make sure you use correct PDA for the PIT you flashed). auto-reboot and f.res.time should be selected. Make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked.
4- Plug your phone and when recognized, click start. Wait to be passed. Now your phone will boot (or if not, boot manually) and should work just fine.
Edit: Try to put Eclair ROM, for example JM2, not jpa, and see if it works better.
Thanks!!
Sir, you have saved my phone and my whole week. This is what I did:
With this method I tried the Vivo Brazil's 2.2 Rom again and did not work, same error, tried using both 803 and 512 pit files.
Then I downloaded an 2.1 firmware (JG9, which was the same that came with the new phone) from Claro Brazil that I found on google and flashed it with the 512 pit and worked perfectly. I had been strugling with this problem the las 6 hours and solving this was urgent because I'm going to vacation now.
Now I can re-update via Kies and return to Froyo were everything worked.
I will not try to do things like this in such a risky way (risky because I don't know)
Thank you very much.

Well, the good news is that it appears that the "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10" error msg can be resolved.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788850
This thread discussed this specific error message. For some reason, they're claiming that flashing JPC with 512 pit and repartition checked is doing the trick. I'm assuming this will result in data loss but I guess that's better than losing the phone entirely You should be able to flash to whatever firmware you want afterwards (assuming it works).

???I bought my Phone from CSpire but stuck on At&t Logo???
Samsung Galaxy s Showcase stuck on the At&t Logo...Will not let me go into Download mode??? Help please?
I'm currently stuck in a position where my phone will not boot at all (the boot screen displaying "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font does NOT appear AT ALL), nor can I boot my phone into recovery mode—absolutely every effort produces no effects, and leaves the screen in a solid, lifeless black. The only thing that has any effect is booting the phone into download mode, which is successful; however...
I am unsuccessful in flashing a ROM with ODIN. I have the proper drivers installed, and the phone shows up in ODIN just fine. It also goes through the entire ODIN flashing process as if everything has worked fine. The end result is, at the end of the ODIN flashing process, when the phone restarts and boots, it has the white font (GT-i9000 + Samsung) cycling—it appears, disappears, reappears, and seems to cycle infinitely. The only way to stop the cycle is to do a battery pull. At this stage, my phone repeats the symptoms of the first paragraph: pressing/holding the power button does NOT boot the phone, but does nothing; pressing/holding the volume up + home button + power button does NOT enter recovery, but does nothing; however, I can successfully enter the download mode.
My phone shows up in ODIN without a problem, and I have attempted to flash various original stock ROMs via their respective TAR files—but to no avail. I am in a cycle that produces no effect.
If anyone could advise me as to whether or not ODIN is flashing incorrectly, or what is going on, I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone could point me to the next step, it would help tremendously. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing firmware with PDA, Modem and CSC with repartition?
Maybe some Eclair firmware...
i was in the same situation as u were. i got the (asian version)I9000ZSJP2 ROM and flashed my mobile using odin. I used pit, pda, phone and csc files from the same link from samfirmware (cant post links)
(also had re-partition checked against website's address).
it was a chinese rom and had to change language in settings..> locale...> english.
hope this helps.
Hi,
You can make a flash to the last stable version JPY. In the arhive provided by samfirmware there is a single file "*.tar" select that file on PDA option on ODIN. You try first without cheking "repartion" checkbox. If not working check repartition. That it's all.
REMENBER: JPY is for european model of samsung galaxy s.
I have tried with "repartition" both checked and unchecked. My phone is an i9000m, but I'm assuming JPY would work fine on it, considering every custom ROM I've ever used was based on that firmware. Is this an incorrect assumption? Should I find i9000m firmware (if so, where)?
I'll try getting some files from samfirmware. Fingers crossed! I'll report back on the results.

I have tried every combination of repartition, pit files (or no pit files, as suggested on samfirmware), firmwares, etc. that I can possibly think of. All with the same result: the phone displays the intial boot screen (not the animated one, but the one that says "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font) and get stuck showing that (it flashes the screen, goes away as if it is going to boot, then shows the screen again, cycling forever until I battery pull).

This did not work. It produced the same results as any other attempt to use Odin, being stuck looping the screen with the white text. Download mode continues to work, but powering on the phone normally AND trying to boot into Recovery BOTH get stuck looping the screen with the white text.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'd really like a definitive answer before I write my phone off as bricked/dead.
Man, if you have a i9000m that means you have a USA phone model. So go to samfirmware.com and flash with odin version I9000BVJJPD, this is the last firmware for your specific model.

Galaxy S i9000m is the Canadian version of the i9000, which is the European model. USA does not have such models; the closest is the Vibrant, which is quite different.
Nevertheless, I'll take your advice assuming you know something that I do not. i9000m's are not sold in the USA (as far as I'm concerned), so samfirmware's site having a "USA" section for i9000 left me confused. Considering every custom ROM I've ever flashed onto my phone was based off i9000 firmware, as well as the fact that I once tried flashing USA firmware on my phone which left it unusable, I assumed I should be looking at the European versions. I'll try the latest USA version and see what happens.
I will report back. Fingers crossed!
Good luck! I hope that will work.

Using the USA firmware (I9000BVJJPD) gave the exact same result. I still cannot get past the white text. I do greatly appreciate the suggestion though.

HISTORY
Purchased an SGS from HK through Chinese version of ebay...taobao. Phone worked for a week then wifi stopped. Read several places, seemed the only option was a factory reset. Performed the reset. Wifi works however the phone service stopped immediately after factory reset
Have tried to flash with JPE FW and JPG FW, nothing brought the phone service back. The SIM works in another phone. Have re-seated SIM many times to ensure it is properly installed.

When Network Operators is selected it doesn't find anything
Instead of bars at the top I have the circle with a diagonal line through it
In the pull down menu from the top is shows my carrier but says (No service)

QUESTION
Taking the phone in for service in China is a joke. If I can't get it working I'll throw it away. Please help me fix it because the phone was a lot of money to just toss. Is there any additional information that would be useful? Can anyone offer some ideas that might lead me to a solution?
A is it genuine Samsung or Chinese clone .
B is it the correct phone for your country/network . CSC correct ???
CSC: I9000OZSJPG

I don't know if it is a Chinese clone. If it is then I think it is a good one. I've been in China for a few years and realize that everything is fake so you must try hard to get the real thing. I didn't buy the cheapest phone of all the ones available in hopes that it would be real. Having said that, it didn't come in the original unsealed box. I was hoping that the reason was the vendor took all the stuff he could resell... spare battery, original hands-free headset, original software CD, etc. It did connect to Kies once before so that convinced me that it was real. Perhaps I am wrong.
I have not been able to find a CSC online that is noted as specific to China nor can I find any references that say that China uses a different CSC than the "ASIA" CSCs listed on samfirmware.com. I am continuing to search the interenet to see if I loading the wrong CSC.

I decided to try flashing one more time. Okay I actually did it twice and was willing to try a third time.

Like many I installed the leaked version of Gingerbread on my Galaxy S when it first came out, but now Samsung have finally released Gingerbread in the UK, I would like to install the official release. But need to reinstall the official version of Froyo in order to do this via Kies.
I have had to spend quite a large amount of time looking for the process of doing this, as there seems to be conflicting information/methods out there. Also I understand Gingerbread has a new boot loader (the installed the version including the secondary boot loader) which also needs taking back to original, and I have also found that most of the guides out there always seem to leave a few questions unanswered
So after finding what appears to be the best and I believe the safest method, I thought I would post it on here for others.
Before I go into the steps on how i did this, I need to make a few points:
1) Any firmware installation carries risks. This is not approved by Samsung, and you do it entirely at your own risk....i’m no expert, I simply found a method that works for me. So if it all goes wrong, don’t come crying to me (however, after trying a different method previously, my phone would not boot, but I was able to re-flash with the leaked Gingerbread successfully).
2) Do not try this procedure if you are unable to get your Galaxy S into Recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power) and Download mode (Vol Down + Home + Power). A number of these phones have this issue, mine was one of them, there are guides online to fix this issue.
3) There seems to be a number of people who have issues with upgrades on Kies even when they haven’t messed with the firmware, so even if you cannot upgrade thru Kies, it doesn’t mean there has been a problem with Flashing the phone.
4) Backup your phone before flashing, as the phone will be wiped.
5) As far as I understand, this is only for the I9000 model and not for any of the other variants of this phone out there.
6) NEVER try to flash the phone without putting it into Download mode first, you will brick your phone.
------------------------------------------
First of all you will need a Windows PC, USB Cable, 2 Downloads (below)....oh and ideally a Samsung Galaxy S
Download 1 (JPU)

The idea is to flash with XXJPU first to get the base version of Froyo which includes the SBL, then to Flash with JPY, this will allow you to use Kies for firmware updates (ensure Kies is completely closed before starting this).
1. Download and extract the above files.
2. Power off phone, remove sim and memory card, then start up in Download Mode and plug USB cable into phone (not PC).
3. Open Odin and select the following Files:
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA: I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
CSC: GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Ensure the following options are ticked: Re-Partition, Auto Reboot & F.Reset Time
4. Plug the USB into the PC, after a few seconds it should displayan “Added” message in Odin, then click on the ‘Start’ button.
The JPU firmware will then be installed onto the phone, it will take a few minutes and the phone will reboot.
***Under no circumstances unplug the usb cable, press any buttons on the phone or generally do anything that could interrupt the process, until it has complete and the phone is full restarted***
Once this is complete, you are ready to flash the phone with the JPY version, very similar process, but please read as not all of Odin settings are the same.
5. With USB unplugged from PC, power off the phone and restart in Download mode.
6. Re-open Odin and select the following files:
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA: JPY_JPY_JPY.tar
Ensure the following options are Ticked: Auto Reboot & F.Reset Time (NEVER tick ‘Re-Partition’ when using a single firmware file for flashing as this could Brick your phone)
7. Plug the USB into the PC, after a few seconds it should displayan “Added” message in Odin, then click on the ‘Start’ button.
The Firmware will then be installed onto the phone, it will take a few minutes and the phone will reboot.
And thats it, you should now be able to upgrade the firmware via Kies....that’s assuming Kies is working correctly, and your carrier has released it, i’m with T-Mobile UK, but bought my phone through the Carphone warehouse, and was able to update immediately.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this has been helpful, if you have any queries, I will try to answer, but as I said I am no expert, i've simply spent alot of time looking for the best method
Just thought I should point out that xxjpy is a european version and is not carrier specific. So it shouldn't matter if your carrier has released gingerbread yet.
This method will allow kies to update your phone to the lastest european firmware.
Why the pain?
No need to go through all this downgrading palava any more. Just use *spooffw and upgrade via kies as normal...easy peasy and no flashing required.
Search for "kies spoof"
*it fools kies into thinking you're on older firmware and offers you the upgrade to current fw
Don't need to tick "update bootloader"?
No, only tick the options stated in the guide.
Also be aware that you do not tick "Re-partition" on the second flash (JPY)

Thanks for the guide! I flashed it from a branded FW (was a backup) to stock and until now it's all pink and fuzzy!
Thank you, that's what i was looking for.
I never realized there was a written guide for this.
I just posted a video yesterday on how to debrand, unroot, and then update via kies.
Thus going from any custom kernel/rom theme etc.. to:
JPU, JPY then updating your version via KIES to JVO - good for warranty purposes.
thanks for this guide
Thanks for this guide. I was on JVO (samfirmware) and wanted to downgrade to get the official latest version installed later.
It didn't fully work for me but eventually got it working.
After having flashed from JPU to JPY Kies detected the phone (did not on JPU). However, it said there is no newer firmware version available.
So I flashed I9000XXJQ3_XXJPY_DBTJS2\PDA_JQ3.tar.md5 as PDA and I9000XXJQ3_XXJPY_DBTJS2\CSC_DBT_JS2.tar.md5 as CSC which I got from samfirmware (these were the versions I used to have on my SGS originally from Kies when I was still on 2.2.1).
*edit April 2012:*
had to downgrade again and went same procedure. However, couldn't remember whether I also flashed "phone". So this time I also added I9000XXJQ3_XXJPY_DBTJS2\PHONE_JPY.tar.md5 as PHONE in addition to the files I listed above as well as I ticked re-partition and added the same pit file I used on the first two flashes.
Afterwards, Kies detected the phone and offered the upgrade. Did that and now it has PDA: JVI, PHONE: JVO, CSC: JV2 (DBT)
*edit end*

How long is a "few minutes"? Odin has been at the following stage for just over half an hour now...
<ID:0/011> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/011> Initialzation..
<ID:0/011> Set PIT file..
<ID:0/011> DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!
My phone doesn't appear to be doing anything and just has the yellow/luminous green android figure digging with "Downloading..." beneath it and "Do not turn off Target!!!" showing on the screen.
Should it be taking this long?
I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 that was on GB 2.3.4, but due to excessive battery draining, and the phone locking up on a black screen with the only way to recover being to remove battery, it was suggested to me at Carphone Warehouse to try flashing it back to Froyo.
No I had the same issue. From what I understand if there are no file names under the do not turn off target line and no blue progress bar on the phone then you waited too long from connection to flashing. Get everything ready and then connect the phone and start.
Nothing has been done yet at the stage you mention.

Just pull out the battery, boot into download mode again and try flashing once more, it will pass successfully this time.

Thank you both gfacer & Lunchbox115.
I have now successfully flashed my phone with Froyo and then re-upgraded to Gingerbread through Kies.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the problems my phone was having have now been solved.
thanks, very useful information.
This may be a dumb question, but anyway... Does this whole thing works for samsung galaxy mini? If yes, do you need to unroot it if you already have it rooted.
Hi guys. My galaxy note 9 N960F abruptly got bricked as I was charging it over night. Since then the phone only boots up in download mode whenever I plug in the charger or when I plug it into a computer. So here is what I know and tried so far to fix it.
The phone boots up in download mode and its detected by the PC and odin.
I don't have any firmware information such as build number, SW Ver/CSC and Baseband version. The only helpful information I have about the phone is the one shown when in odin mode and also when I try searching for firmware using the phones Serial or IMEI number. (PHOTOS ATTACHED)
When I try to flash the phone using odin, it says RE-PARTITION OPERATION FAILED. (PHOTOS ATTACHED)
Since I don't know the exact region, I tried flashing the firmwares from the regions XSG (United Arab emirates), XXV (Vietnam), EUR (Greece), INS (India), and ITV (Italy) all with at least binary 4 but still get RE-PARTITION OPERATION FAILED.
I installed a new battery but that didn't help.
I tried different versions of odin to no avail, same error RE-PARTITION OPERATION FAILED.
I tried ticking NAND ERASE, RE-PARTITION in Odin to no avail, brought the error CAN'T OPEN THE SPECIFIED FILE LINE (.......).
I tried a different USB Cable, same error.
I tried Smart Switch and it detects the phone but gives an error right after that. (PHOTOS ATTACHED)
Might have tried many more things but just forgotten so please ask me questions.
Now I'm running out of ideas guys, I'm thinking maybe the EMMC is dead or maybe I'm just flashing wrong firmwares since I don't even the right CSC????
RE-PARTITION OPERATION FAILED, HOW DO I FIX THAT??? PLEASE I COULD REALLY USE ANYONE'S HELP RIGHT NOW.
Have you tried to put all parts of your stock rom in one Odin slot and not in the four different ones ?
I remember that I always had to do that for result.
AP slot: first BL then AP then etc..etc one by one in the same normal order all in AP before flashing.
Just try ... because it's not the youngest phone .... and use the latest Odin.
You never know .... it's just an idea.

Hi, so I tried this and it didn't work. However, I managed to get my phone working by replacing the motherboard with a working one.
