I have really borked up my phone after trying to install a new kernel and Docs RomMod in froyo. Now I only get into download mode, and I want to install the original firmware, and just get it working again. The problem is, I don't know which combination of files to use in Odin. I'm totally green at this, and I didn't get much smarter after reading the FAQ that is pinned in this forum. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: After Odin has done it's work, the phone boots into recovery and I get an error msg saying:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(Invalid argument)
C:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
Regards,
Ding
* download some firmware (e.g. JM5) of your choice.
* download the pit file (e.g. 512 for JM5 and most other firmwares).
* unpack the firmware
* start odin
* choose pit file
* choose pda (code tar from firmware)
* choose phone (modem tar from firmware)
* choose csc (csc tar from firmware)
* tick "repartition" (just to be save)
* attach the device in download mode
* after you see it connected in odin press "start"
* wait till the device resets!
Thanks for this. I have followed that list all the previous attempts as well, but it seems I have been using the wrong pit file. Also I downloaded csc-files seperately, so they might be wrong as well. downloading new firmware now!

Have you tried to reflash your Galaxy with Odin?
Downloads:
Odin
JM5 Firmware PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
PIT 512
Howto:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (PDA=CODE, .PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Remove the SD card and SIM card from the phone.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.If the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

Your SGS is not broken you are just doing things without the right knowlegde.
Don't do things you don't understand !!!
Read before you do something !!!

You always have to use the correct PIT File for a Firmware.

I just downloaded I9000ZSJPD from http://www.samsungfirmwareworld.com/official-samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-t449.html.
After extract it, I found JPE_U.tar(285MB) only. I suppose it is for PDA in Odin.
My question is if I flash using odin,
PIT = 803.pit
PDA = JPE_U.tar
Phone = Not necessary???
CSC = Not necessary? Or perharps, there is somewhere to download, please let me know..
I have froyo beta version I9000ZSJP2.rar, can I use it for Phone and CSC? I would prefer to get I9000ZSJPD if possible.
Should I Check Re-Partition or uncheck it? Make any different?
I am from Malaysia, current Version:
PDA : I9000XWJM5
Phone : I9000XXJM3
CSC : I9000XXJM1
Currently using Lagfix1024.sh from tayutami(Quarant score = 2168) but still feel the stall too. Should I remove lagfix before I flash the firmware?
From some thread, to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2, we need flash to JM8 first then only can upgrade to 2.2.
With my current firmware version and I9000ZSJPD version, should I flash to JM8 then I9000ZSJPD?
I was thinking of using Kies to update with the reghack
ProductCode = GT-I9000HKATGY(Correct me if I am wrong.)
HIDSWVER = I cant find it.
Please someone advise me, how should I flash it to I9000ZSJPD.
Thanks.
Just would like to share my experience of flashing to I9000ZSJPD
Extract folder I9000ZSJPD.rar from the link

I wonder what i did wrong or perhaps the JPE_U.tar got problem.
Currently looking for lagfix for ZSJPD version, please let me know if you guys got any idea.
It works, thanks so much for your info.
Hey guys, I updated my Galaxy S [GT-i9000] today to 2.2.1 via Kies. I managed to grab the firmware files during the update. A .tar archive containing the .rfs files and also the packed binary which Kies 'decrypted' and uncompressed, generating the .tar. I'm thinking it's possible to add a simple setuid root shell/su/something like that inside this official firmware. I've read around here that it's possible to mount rfs files on Linux and this should allow me to put my root shell. My questions are:
1.Can I flash these modified .rfs files with Heimdall, Odin or anything like it ?
2.Can I perform Kies updates after I do this operation ? (Does it checksum the firmware or something ?)
Thanks.
bump ! bump !
Last year i saved firmware via Kies update .
Saved as JP5_JP3_U_JP3.tar
Installed via Odin
Open Odin
- make sure you UNTICK Re-Partition Checkbox (which is the default choice)
- Choose "s1_odin_20100803.pit" as PIT
- Choose " the tar file you saved as PDA
- PHONE Use MODEM.bin
- Leave CSC blank
- Start Phone in Download-Mode
- Connect Phone via USB
- "Start" Flash using odin
- Goto Recovery mode (see image at bottom) and do Factory Reset / Data Wipe
- Reboot, and wait for full start up. Unplug phone from USB.
- Close Odin.
problems with modem after flash remove modem from tar file then flash tar and modem .

Hello, I have been on Draky's rom 10.1 , today I noticed that my phone SGS was stuck at the first boot screen , i tried restarting it , and still would get stuck on the screen , then I tried to reflash it with darky's rom wouldn't help. I tried to reflash with original 2.3.3 still the same. The nature of the issue is it would freeze at the boot screen , and when I got to the recovery menu i get into Android System recovery (3e) even when flash with darky's rom through Odin. the following is displayed in 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
and I can't do anything with it, tried to flash 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 versions same thing ... at the best I was able to get into samsung animation and after that the phone would just go dead, until I physicaly remove battery. I tried to flash pit files separatly, then PDA, then PHone, and SCS from Odin still no results ... any suggestions gurus ???
You tried to flash pit files separately? So you used odin to flash three files
(PDA,CSC and PHONE) with a pit for repartition all at once because you don't repartition with pit files unless you have the other three files. I'd try Ezbase 3.0http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792 with the specific odin and pit file plus the three .tar files is included in the post.
tried all 4 files at the same time , pit, pda, phone, csc same results ...
That's quite weird then. I would try the ezbase I suggested above though, worth a shot
was installing jvq for darkyrom via odin and got the following errors below after the flash. now getting the same thing with the stock rom downloaded the jvt from sammobile.com flashed via odin rebooted to recovery and same errors please help im phoneless
copying media files...
e:failed to mount /dbdata ( file exists)
e:copy_dbdata_media;can't mount /dbata your storage not prepared yet. please use ui menu for format and reboot.
# manual mode #
e:format_volume: rfd format failed on /dev/block/st110
Flash a ROM with 3 files. Generally all the firmwares with 1 file only miss the DBData file.
Why JVQ? There are many newer firmwares out there.
Use odin 1.85.
Pun in download mode (press down-vol + home +power together at phone off)
Download stock rom.
Use pit file and put it in PIT.
use CODE file and put it in PDA
use PHONE file and put in in phone.
use sgh-* file and put it in CSC.
mark repartition flag.
lean bootloader empty
flash it.
