Hi! I have flashed my phone many times and it have worked fine but this time i tried to update to xwjm7 and everything flashed ok but when it try to start after flash i can read this:
update media, please wait...
E:Cant mout /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:

i have tried factoryreset then it starts to the samsung S logo but after that the screen is black.
please help me
/regards

I had similar problems. Try flashing a new CSC, MODEM and PDA. Using a different CSC is probably what worked for me.
Which firmware did you use?
I downloaded the
GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8
but cant seem to get the flashing to work, And there are many files to choose from
I had same problem when flashing JM8.
I skipped the PIT with tick repartition in the first place.
Did you use OCLF in your previous firmware ?
I then followed all steps correctly and all went fine.
So what was the solution for this. Ive tried flashing the original ROM back but it keeps giving me the same error. Ive tried repartioning, not repartioning, pit 512, different ROMS. Im stuck in this loop. Can someone please try to help me out?
EDIT: fixed. Flashed JM8 with .512 repart, then flashed with the Telstra DVJH3 ROM. Back to stock.
Same problem with a mexican Galaxy S.
Solution:
1) Flash JM8 with 512 repart. Note, Result: phone doesnot work at first boot, but at least try to load, discard error and enter in Download Mode
2) Flash JPM with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.1
3) Flash JPY with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.2.1
Result: Galaxy S with Working Froyo again!!
Thanks you all for sharing.
No need. Just flash stock XXJPU ROM... it's all you need since DBDATA is broken and that firmware contains the file, which isn't in most others...
go to my profile. and look for a thread called my trick to unbricking a soft brick or sonething download the file dbdata.rfs.tar and flash without a pit in odin

After the flash, the phone rebooted and i came to the recovery menu. There the phone wrote:
update media, please wait
and in the next lines:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

Now when i try do start the phone, i get a black screen after the bright S
What i have tried: Flash agein with and without re-partition and Factory Reset
Has anybody an idea what i can do?
and sorry for my bad english
bump. can anyone help with this topic..
i am having some problem..
help us guys
thanks
Fixed... use odin 512
Thread moved in Galaxy S I9000 General.
I can definately help with this one, as I worked through it last night...
I found that if you're trying to flash the JG5 rom (as mentioned in Modaco's thread) with the 513 Pit file, then you'll get the black screen of despair!! For some reason the two combination of the two don't work.
However, if you do a google search for Odin PIT 512, then download this file
You will be able to download the 512 PIT file instead. Now use this in Odin3 to flash the JG5 rom and you should have no further issues....it worked for me.
I also discovered that Samsung have just released a later firmware, so I just flashed this one on top of the JG5 one...I have a nicely running phone now.
Hope this helps...it did me!
Mike
Mine was completely knackered. Couldn't get to recovery either. Flashed Modaco's MCR R3, after the JG5 flash, using all the files in the JG5 download. Working a treat...
Cheers,
BS...

Same here.
I tried JS3 and going back to JP6....and always the same result.
I'm obviously missing something. Maybe my 512.PIT is corrupted. I get the black screen and the same /dev/block.st110 errors in recovery.
i beleive you need to have a CSC file also for the odin flash.
i sorted mine like this:
Downloaded some JP2 odin files [used this as this was the only one on Samsung-firmwares that had all 3 PDA, Modem and CSC Files. flashed this using a .512 pit in odin. - this allowed the phone to boot normally.
connected to Kies and using reg hack [set to XEU] managed to update to JPY.
the following the Darky guide, flashed the CF Root kernel, installed the ROM Manager from the market, using the recovery mode installed the update.zip file for clockworkMod.
Formatted everything in ClockworkMod
Factory Reset in ClockworkMod
Installed Darky ROM V8.0 Wipe
thanks for your find !

fix for black screen after flash with no recover or download mode working.
Hey All.
So like the subject says, you flash and then your phone restarts or whatever, and then you get the normal galaxy s startup, with the sound and the visuals, but then that's it. Henceforth you are greeted with the two lights (if its a Bell Vibrant) from your options and back keys.
To fix it use the attached file. Its called ADB or something - I just know it works. It was a fix for the galaxy s phones that didnt have the recovery/download mode stock.
so here is how it goes:
1. download adb to your desktop and unpack it (if its in winrar or zip or whatever) to a file folder named adb.
2. open a command prompt.
3. type "cd" and then the address of the "adb" folder. so for example it should be in C:\Users\your user name\Desktop\adb. where "your user name" is your user name a duh.
4. plug in your galaxy s via usb.
5. type "adb reboot download" in the command prompt. copy it using your mouse as well.
6. turn on your phone.
7. press enter in the command prompt, then keep copying and pasting and pressing enter until you see the download screen on your phone. each time you press enter it says device not connected or something but just keep trying.
the article i read:
can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"

Okay, the more I try the more I think my phone is hosed. I don't understand what went wrong but something did, and it is seemingly impossible to fix. (I'm on Bell if it matters any)
So, I tried to install Darky's 5.2 ROM yesterday. All was going well. I got JPU installed fine and it booted perfectly. The next step was to flash CFRoot with Odin.
Upon flashing CFRoot, my phone started to loop the Galaxy S GT I9000 screen (the one before the boot screen)
It would not stop looping this screen. So I tried to flash back to JPU, no luck. Same looping.
I flashed to JH2 & JM8. Instead of looping the screen, it goes into recovery. I get the following in red text:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:copy default media content failed.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
Now I'm at a loss for what to do. Every 2.1 firmware yields the same problems at the recovery menu. Every 2.2 firmware loops the Galaxy S screen (screen before bootscreen)
I've flashed to JPU multiple times, flashed to JP6 multiple times. I've tried different kernels (super optimized and Voodoo) and all give the same results. Nothing is working.
What can I do? Is my phone dead?
EDIT: Looks like my phone is dead.... Internal SD card killed itself.
Off to the Bell store I go....

Well, I did the same as I was foolish enough to install a wrong Kernel from CF-root thread. Did you download the right Kernel for your ROM? (JPU)
Its just a matter of download the right Kernel but flashing Darjy's ROM makes it slightly complicated as it has a Voodoo Kernel. You need to flash a stock Froyo using Odin with repartition enabled. Then move on to Custom ROM.
Hope this helps.
CF-Root caused me the same problem!!!
I think this might be causing Bell cards to die.
I can't seem to fix this... I've tried repart. with 512 pit and the three JM9 files.. I've tried JPU, JK3, JH2... exact same results.
Any suggestions?
I tried to flash stock JPU, then CF-Root... to install Doc's ROM... but after I flashed CF-Root, got the same problem.

Are you sure you are using the right Kernel? All the firmwares have different root kernels. And also, I hope you are putting the CF-root file to PDA, without repartition ticked.
I have tried to get my phone to work but it seems that it will not boot after i have attempted to flash it....
I have used all the different pit files and used odin 1.3 and 1.7 and neither of them work. I have tried using JPX, JPY and JPO/JPP and nothing.
it shows:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant's mount
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed
It wont let me use the format sd card option either?
I did have the one click lag fix installed but did a factory reset before i tried to flash it.
help!

Ok thanks for the speedy reply...i have fixed it this is what i did.....
I was on froyo 2.2 version xxjpp . Then I read in samfirmware . com that to flash this firmware we had to go back to 2.1 xwjm8, and flash with repartition selected and 512 pit. I put CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5 in PDA and MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 in phone. I did that with download mode and odin 1.3 and It seemed as if I was back to square one when the screen got stuck at splash level but when I took out the battery and switched on it booted in to 2.1 firmware. I went in to download mode again and flashed 803 pit with 2.2 firmware (JPO_JPO_U_JPP.tar) with repartition unselected and I am back to 2.2 froyo again and happy .

I spent 6hours today, restoring my phone, but it didn't worked. Untill i saw your post, THNX mate, this is the solution, im back and running with firmware 2.2.1!!
seems like the real trick to fixing it is to fill all three options in odin with a csc, modem and pda (or maybe even use more than just the pda option) and tick repartition as well and then it fixes the invalid partition problems.
Glad its all working for you tho Its a very stressfull time the first time you see that message appear
A friend of mine is on a T-Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S. He's stuck on a non-simlocked and non-netlocked 2.2 (JP3), T-Mobile UK aren't releasing 2.2.1 any time soon, and hence he wants to upgrade to an unbranded 2.2.1. He doesn't want to root it... he just wants to be on the same or similar firmware as I'm on (i.e. a stock, stable, UK, unrooted, no "lagfix", etc, 2.2.1).
He has Odin. He has the Windows drivers installed. But I have some questions.
I'm on JPY which has been perfect for me. Zero problems. Is there much advantage with JS5? What has changed/added between JPY and JS5?
Best place to get the European firmware is here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Does he need just a pit file, or other files (e.g. tar) too?

JPY is the lastest UK rom pointless using anything else until its out for the UK
People here just love new numbers and letters.
if he is going from branded would be best to use a pit file. ( pit 512)
then flash the 3 JPY files.
I tend to debrand phones when I get them in as I don't think its fair being stuck on older versions.
So... download Odin + PIT from the top of that page I linked. Flash the 512 PIT using Odin with repartition. Download the JPY firmware from the same page. Flash the 3 files in there. Reboot. Done?
What about clearing cache? Factory reset?
Anything else?
Flashing with Odin will do the factory reset.

He's been trying the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
He selected repartition, and flashed the PIT file + JPY_JPY_JPY.tar at the same time (although I believe we've tried one at a time too).
Now when he reboots his phone it doesn't boot - it just vibrates.
He's tried going into recovery and clearing the cache, user data, factory reset, etc.
He can still get into download mode and recovery.
Any suggestions?

Can we get the JPY firmware direct from Samsung?
No, but samfirmware.com has all those firmwares.
Yeah they have JPY. However it's just a 512 PIT file. Is that all he needs?
Thats what i flash JPY with .
Error solving with a rom install i usually wipe everything flash back to eclair with 512 pit and repartition . That works i then flash to Froyo no repartition .

Still no joy
OK, so as per the instructions above (I think), we made sure the SIM and SD card are removed. Connected the phone. With Odin, ticked Repartition, and then flashed the 512 .pit file. Waited until we saw the green box in Odin with Pass on it. Unplugged the phone and took the battery out. Put battery back in and booted the phone into download mode. Clicked Reset in Odin. Made sure re-partition was unticked. Made sure the pit file is no longer selected. Added the JPY_JPY_JPY.tar to the PDA section. Plugged in phone. Clicked start. Left it until we saw green pass. On restarting the phone, it to boots past the Galaxy S splash screen and tune then there's a single vibrate followed by a double, which then repeats.
Did we do something wrong? We noticed in Recovery there is an error displayed:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
What else can we try to get to JPY?
The firmware from samfirmware.com and the firmware linked from the firmwares post on XDA (mentioned earlier) both give an identical JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. We've been unable to find any firmwares with the three JPY files in it. Anyone have a link? Or any other things we can try?

You only use the PIT file and choose re-partition when you have the 3 separate flashing files.
When you have the singe JPY tar file you do not select re-partition and do not use the PIT file - do the following:
put phone into download mode
open Odin
choose your single JPY file as the PDA
make sure "re-partition" is UNTICKED
DO NOT select your PIT file
connect your phone to PC via USB
Odin will detect your phone - click start
let Odin do its stuff until your phone restarts
you are now on 2.2.1 stock
I always do an immediate factory reset.....it seems to sort out any lags or issues that you occasionally get after flashing
good luck!
When he tries to just the .tar without repartition or .pit, Odin fails.
When he tries to format the internal SD card from Recovery it says:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
It could be that repartitioning previously has messed stuff up? Maybe the wrong PIT (we used 512)? I've read in a few places that Clockwork recovery can fix this. Thoughts?
Or is there a 3 file JPY option we can use?
So, according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784958#8180949 it seems we messed up the partitions by using the pit file originally with repartition. If JPY isn't a full firmware we'll need to flash back to a full firmware to fix it. For example he says "The reason for this screwup is because the JH7 tar package does not contain params or dbdata files, it's not meant to be a full installer- it's meant to be an upgrade. When you partitioned you deleted your existing dbdata and params partitions on your phone, so when JH7 tried to set them up they didn't exist."
We're going to try JPU (somewhere said that's a full update) with 512 pit + repartition, then if that boots update to JPY (no pit, no repartition).
FIXED!!!
After putting the three-file JPU on it from samfirmware.com with 512 pit and repartition, it booted up into 2.2.1 fine. We then flashed the JPY tar (no pit, no repartition), and it's working.
Thanks for the help guys.

I tried using Rynza's lagfix on galaxy I9000 running on 2.2. once done, the phone restarted but never came back. every time I see a black screen after the silver Samsung logo disappears. Tried re-flashing with the same rom i was having before, using ODIN. but the same issue persists.
please help. I think I bricked the phone....
if you can get it into download mode still youll be ok, as you can reflash the stock rom and try the lagfix again
you should try to flash xxjpu from samfirmware.com and pit.512 included and make sure that you tick "repartition"
hope it's going to help you
I was running I9000DDJP6. Once the boot screwed up, i re-flashed with I9000DDJP6 and I9000BVJJPD. both r froyo. As suggested, I shall try with xxjpu
I am using Odin 3 V1.3, what are the options should i choose? I mean apart from re-partition?
The phone is still keeps on vibrating with a black screen
Now when I flashed it...i got this error
On first boot I get

Any idea how do i fix it?
Try fresh flash. 2.1 eclair with 512.pit. After that new firmware via odin.
do i need to re-partition?
guys the issue is fixed....my phone is back online.....thanks all of you....and special thanks to trustsyzaa....i flashed with xxjpu and its on again!!! CHEERS
