I'm not sure what I've done, but I obviously wasn't paying attention. I had RyanZA's 2.3 beta lagfix installed and I decided to uninstall it using the supplied script. At some point I saw my phone reboot and I thought it had finished, but I don't really remember what happened after that.
Anyway, I've got it to the stage where it just shows the i9000 startup screen, goes black, then shows the i9000 screen again. I can get into recovery and I've got clockwork recovery installed as well, so I can get into that. I've used adb, but I can't get a log of it booting because it just says waiting for device and never gets past that stage. I used adb shell to see if I could manually process the scripts, but it looks like all the data and the backups of the data folders are gone.
I've wiped data in both clockwork and stock recovery, but I still can't get the phone to boot. System still looks ok, so I'm not sure why it's not working.
Anyway, my main question is, how can I get my phone back up and running? The mount usb option doesn't seem to be working, so I guess I'll have to use Odin or KIES, but what do I flash? Is there a link for a stock UK i9000 firmware somewhere?
Update:
Ok, I've got the phone working again, but after using Odin to flash the firmware, it reboots into recovery and I get the message can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
The phone boots ok, but I can't download anything from the market ("download unsuccessful" almost immediately)
Internet works fine, so I don't think that's the problem.
Further update:
After Odin has flashed, the phone boots into recovery with the following messages:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
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
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
This was after flashing WJM6 with .513 pit
You can try this...connect your phone with KIES and update it with the official firmware. I have not tried this so I dont know if it will help you.
Thanks, I eventually got it to work by flashing the WJG5 firmware. It would probably help if I'd known what it was actually running in the first place.
Now I've got it working though, I might try connecting to KIES and seeing if there's an updated version.
hey there, is this resolved? i got mine working after
can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
but its still there. Do u know how to clean this error?
Update: I Fixed it by reflashing to WJG5 as stated above. BUT when i tryed reflashing with newer rom its still there..

Hello
I had the same and i solved through the guide here:

But i think the problem really was that i have make an ext2 partition on sd-card.
I removed the sd-card during flashing.
Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help for a mate of mine who can't get his Samsung Galaxy S to start up.
The phone is box standard from Vodafone and only a couple of months old. It hasn't been rooted or tampered with in any way.
Today he decided to plug it into kies to check for updates and it showed him that there was an update available for his phone. he followed the on screen prompts and went about updating it. After it updated the phone just died on him. I have spoke to him over the phone to try and explain the 3 button recovery method to him but he still can't get it to boot up. He has sent me a photo of his phone so hopefully that may help for any potential advice. I'm no phone expert but could easily follow any instructions/ guides on flashing etc.
Any advice or help would be most grateful
Cheers, Sean
Pull out the usb cord.

If the phone can enter download mode, it can be rescued. Otherwise, it was definitely bricked.

Try to pull out the battery for 10 minutes. Then but the batteri back.
Then try to get in download mode.
If you can't, the try to see if odin see it.
If odin can see it try to flash back original firmware.
If you are lucky it can work.
If not then it seems very bad.

Thanks Damian, I will pass this info on to him tomorrow. I wish my mate lived closer so I could have a go at it myself.
i do have the exact same problem but flashing JM8 doesn't solve it.
in odin 1.3 with re-partition enabled I used s1_odin_20100512.pit, CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5 as PDA and MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 as phone
on startup I still get "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (Invalid argument)"
any ideas please?

Why dont you flash crc also?
Try to do a complete flash.
Then go in recovery more and do wipe catch and a factory reset.
If you manage to get it to boot do format your internal sdcard.

then that's what caused it. you should have disable your lagfix before flashing the new rom. i'm not 100% sure on this but i think you need to do a factory reset and reflash and repartion. maybe some more knowledgeable could answer that one though.
Maybe Ur other kernel not support ext4 filesystem.
reflash speedmod kernel and disable lagfix then flash Ur other kernel.
I've had the same problem. The pit file I used was wrong. I was using 513 instead of 512. Try reflashing eclair. And make sure the region is the same.
i disabled the lagfix before flashing the new kernel...anyway guys i got is sorted finally...i repartitioned and flshed XXJPO using odin...thank god it worked...thank you all for caring

I'm in the same boat. Is there any way you can help me?
I've flashed xxjpo using odin but still have the issue.
First, I set up the PIT using 512. Repartition, auto reboot a f restart all checked, the two below, not checked. Connect the phone, run it, disconnect the phone, pull battery, start into download mode again.
Next, I flash the pda with the xxjpo firware from the stock firmwares section here. I unchecked repartition, but left the other two, and I'm back at square one. Is there any way you can walk me through how you got back to a booting OS?
This SGS had the original O2 ADJM1 firmware without the 3 button combo, which I fixed using the 3 button fix from another thread. SGS was working fine but I thought I'd give in and try a custom Rom.
Installed Darky's 6.0, worked great, but when I tried a factory reset from the settings menu, it kind of semi bricked, so I used Odin to install "GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM" with pit 512 to recover the SGS.
Problem is, Android Market will not download "download unsuccessful" pops up all the time.
The I installed GT-I9000_I9000XWJM9, hoping to fix the problem, while keeping recovery 2e, but Android market still does not download.
When I try the "wipe data/factory" reset using the 3 button combo, I get the following errors:
Appling Multi-csc

copy_multi_carrier from : KOR
multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/KOR/system/

I'm guessing "E" is the internal SD card, so maybe there's a problem there
Also how do I fix this android market problem ?
I really need a pointer to installing a stock fully working Rom with recovery 2e, then I can move back to Darky's new 7.0 ROM.
Any help would be great.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem.
With the invalid argument problems on data/factory reset, and the download unsucessfull problem! i have reflashed 4times JM1 on my phone !!!
i give 25$ for someone who solve the problem !
The way I fixed this problem was in two steps.
I used the Kies registry hack (someone here has created a program (which I can't find a link to right now) for windows that fools Kies to recognize your SGS as requiring an official firmware update).
Once your SGS is back on your official carrier firmware, Android market will work again.
From there, I was able to do a proper factory reset, followed by installing Draky's 7 Rom, using the 3 button combo and update zip method......and till now it's all good.
My SGS went from being a useless paper weight, to a kick ass device.
Good luck.
*You mentioned JM1* you may not need to go back to that firmware, but whatever official carrier firmware that Kies updates your SGS to, should fix the market problem.
With the Internal SD Corrupted Fix, i have formated my internal SD and there is no invalid argument when i do a data/factory reset.
but i think this is another problem, i have tried anything.
The hang on installing/unistalling problem come when i add my Google Account on the Android Market.
After this, i can't install or unistall anything.. that show installing.... at the infinite.
(sry for my english)
i have created a new google account for re-downloading again applications on the market, but i'm really sad because i have bought a lot of with my other account! wtf...
can't someone have any ideas or can help me?
thanks!
EDIT - See bottom of post - I solved it!
After trying out CyanogenMod, I decided to flash back to JL2 on my Bell I9000M.
Reading the directions to flash back it said just to flash using Odin with repartition. So I do so using the JL2 firmware from samfirmware.com.
After rebooting, however, I'm presented with the following:
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 me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.

Formatting and wiping using the recovery menu has no effect. Rebooting gets me to the "S" logo, but it just sits there and vibrates every so often after that. Reflashing has no effect, and I've tried using PIT files to no avail.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I was able to flash hardcore's kernel and boot into ClockworkMod, and I formatted all the partitions there, but it still throws the same error.
EDIT: No need to respond to this. I figured it out, and I'll do a writeup on how I fixed it for those who may end up in the same predicament as me.
Hy there,
I installed a costume rom the other day and realyzed that after doing that the phone didn't recognized the sim anymore. I tryed installing the rom again but still the same result. Afther that i tyed installing a firmware using odin and now the phone won't start at all(it only oppens in download mode ). When i tryed to install the firmware it appeard an error:
E:failed to mount /dbdata (Invalid argument)
--Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /dbdata (File exists)
E:coppy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /dbdata youre storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu to format and reboot action.
.....
the thing is that when i try to format it requests a key/password and i don;t know what it is and when i try to install again the rom it says that there is no space left. What can i do?
Please help!

Do you have a link to the stock firmware? I have searched on this and google and most or all of the links are dead.
No, I don't have the stock.
I don't see the point though. GB-stock-safe-v5 works better than the stock T-mobile froyo anyway.

overcome rom works great only problem that I have ran into is the fact that wifi drops alot and hardly seems to work at all. And yes I have flashed the wi-fi fix, twice, and still no luck.
Have to go run some errands but afterwards I will post what I did step by step for those in the future that encounter the very problem that I had( the no factory reset or able to mount /data problem).
