Hey guys bear with me because I am a little new to android but I pick up things relatively quick. I tried applying a morph theme to my newly rooted and lagfixed SGS and things went horribly wrong. On reboot it spammed force closes so I decided there was no option but to reflash. It is a Australian Virgin/Optus SGS and I found the closest firmware would be DTJG4, got it and ODIN and a PIT file (513) and attempted with no success. It flashes fine but then reboots into recovery with this message-
Update media, please wait ...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
If I choose reboot, it will go past the welcome screen and then just black screen. I have also done a factory reset/wipe.
Any help at all would be very appreciated.
It seems i have made things worse now, I redownloaded the firmware from sams and this time odin wouldnt upload the firmware.

is where it was stuck for about an hour so I disconnected the SGS and rebooted it and it is now semi bricked with only access to the download screen. Should i just return it to the shop and hope they replace it/fix it?

Try another usb port... It should pass that step pretty quickly (almost instant)
I also have this problem...after a search, I cannot find a solution.
Thank you dagrim1, changing usb port got it to wake up again. I also got my phone back up and running!! It seems the DTJG4 requires the 512 PIT file to repartition. I sure did get scared there but taking a step back and reassesing helped me sort that one out. Now back to theme testing!

So I rooted my buddies captivate for him and flashed him a custom rom (dont remember which) he hated it. evidently it froze all the time or whatever. so when i got home tonight i flashed cognition and now its stuck at the att spalsh screen.
Any help. ive been googling around but havent found anything especially useful. I just downloaded odin 3 and im gonna try and screw with that but has anyone successfully unbrocked from this point?
How long was it stuck there? I have had mine take up to ten minutes for voodoo to take effect before...

The phone is not bricked at this point. As long as you can get into download mode you can flash with odin.
Odin 3 back to stock is your best option
I had a similar error happen to my phone... I tried to flash back to stock with Odin, but after it RESET my phone, I got nowhere. Plugging it in while not in download mode just gave me two screens flashing back and forth, the little wheel (frozen), then the little wheel and an empty batter (frozen). If I turn it on, I get the att boot screen, then black, then boot screen, so on. I tried booting into recovery in a million different ways, no good. I can get the phone into download mode easily enough, but Odin keeps doing the same exact thing.... help?
EDIT:
Did it again... Here's where Odin gets to, then it shuts my cappy off, begins to boot again. Got the att screen, then the frozen battery/wheel again.

Odin will work I just went through the same thing 2 days ago it took like 15 tries and then I pulled battery for 10 Sec along with sim and sd card, plugged in usb opened Odin held volume and power then put battery in and ran Odin and it loaded perfect. Just a suggestion that u may want to try. Good luck!

Boot into recovery and master clear with odin one click jf6, of you can't get into recovery then master clear with the phone booted as far as it will go.
Reflash jf6 in download mode after the master clear. You might need to restart odin before you flash after the master clear, it's weird like that.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but I'm trying to make a Factory Odin Flash for the Samsung Galaxy S "Showcase" for Cellular South!!! Hardware wise it's the same as the Fascinate and Mesmerize, just a little LITTLE different software...
I started off trying THESE instructions (steps 5-9) using a Rooted Stock Showcase to pull the files...
but as you can see on my THREAD we haven't had much success..
Is there any more files I need to be pulling, I see that most Odin Stock Flash files have more than just the 4 files I'm including which are:
dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/stl11 of=/sdcard/cache.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/modem.bin bs=4096
If you guys could help us out, we would REALLY appreciate it!!!!
I'm pretty sure my phone isn't bricked.
Ok, this is what I've done...
I'm on official Froyo for UK, unbranded handset (i think jpo/jpp firmware).
I tried to install Voodoo Lagfix (stable, released today) by Odin.
I started Odin up, put PDA as the Voodoo file, put my phone into download mode, connected the usb, waited for odin to detect it and then clicked start.

That's what Odin said, so I presumed it failed.
The screen was black and not doing anything so I unplugged it and removed the battery. When I put in battery and tried to start up phone, I get a logo of a flip phone on the left, with a line dash to a yellow triangle with black explanation mark, and then another dashed line to a computer.
Can I have a set of instructions on how to continue please!
which ROM did you install?
make sure the TAR is not corrupted
even if it failed, you can flash it again
the only way to find out if it works is to unplug and reboot it
there is always the JIG option if you don't have the 3 button modes

It's not a ROM, I tried to put on Voodoo Lagfix 5 (stable) onto my stock firmware from Kies (JPP/JPO).
Shall I try to reflash the Lagfix? I think I need to flash a firmware, can someone please tell me, starting to get a little stressed haha.
BTW, Download Mode is working.
I would imagine you are going to have to flash stock firmware to it, you can try flashing it again or perhaps a different kernel
got it working now guys
just reflashed it and it worked
What does that mean? I'm getting it after I put my phone into download mode and tried to put my phone back to stock with Odin. Odin hung up on me and I had to disconnect.
What do I do?
I could be wrong but I believe that's a brick..? I've never bricked but that would be my guess

odin is wonky especially if you have the stock rom jf6 on there. it is always best to have odin prepared with the pit and .tar files first and to use the usb cable + 2 buttons to get download mode, i remember way back when my phone was stock and i tried to flash stock it wasn't working. i flashed a beta rom jh2 ( the only altenative at the time) and it worked. never had another issue flashing and i have been through many froyo versions and ports from other galaxy s phones and used all the 2.1 roms. odin jf6 just didn't like to flash over jf6 but it usually eventually works.
I was following the overcome guide and when i came to step 8/9 (flash overcome kernel) it didn't work, so then i chose the same pit which you use in a previous step and also the kernel and now it worked with the pit but not the kernel. i got stuck in download mode and tried to flash only kernel again but it didn't work not it got stuck on ConnectionSetup... or something like that. I think it couldn't find the device, i shut down odin and took out the micro-sd card which someone said could cause problems but it still didn't work. now i'm stuck at a screen like this: picture of phone .. ! .. picture of computer. I guess it means it can't connect to the computer. Anyone know what to do? I've tried searching the forums and tried some different stuff but haven't succeded.
Edit: Seems like i can use odin even though i don't get into the download mode, will update soon. Seems to work correctly, i'll give the flashing another try and i will make sure to cross the right boxes and so on.
Edit2: This time i checked that i had all the correct things crossed in Odin but when i try to flash the kernel it fails. what should i do? i come from gingerbread 2.3.3 (re-stocked) so it can't be the bootloader right?
Edit3: This is what i get when i try to flash the kernel:

What to do next?
If you flash cf root kernel you will get root.You don't need superone click.
Try reboot your phone it should work.
Sent from Galaxy on latest nightly with neo kernel
First of all... what was the original firmware?
Second: I hope you have not messed with repartition and bootloader?
yeah, check what version she's running and flash cf-root, since you allready are capable of flashing with Odin you dont need one-click root.
