[Q] URGENT can't mount \dev\block\stl11 please help!

Hi Guys,
Just tried to flash from JG4 to JM8,
I followed the instructions as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809423
Before i started i removed voodoo lagfix with the disable-lagfix method, then i did a factory reset.
I was up to step 2, that worked fine in Odin, then when i went to restart i got this error : can't mount \dev\block\stl11
any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks

Emm, what instructions have you followed? The link you gave is for kies and 2.2, not 2.1 and odin.
My guess - something to do with pit files and repartitioning. JG I think needs 513, while JM need 512, so repartition and try flashing one more time.

This does not belong in the development section ! The link you give is for update to froyo using kies .. You have flashed JM8 that is not froyo ! So make your question more clear and post it in q&a .. Anyway the error you get has to do with repartioning .. Flash JM8 again with odin check repartition and use .512 pit

sorry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807886
that is the correct link.
I used pit 512...
Edit: re-partition was checked and i definatly used pit 512... do you think voodoo had something to do with it?
reflashed again and and this is full error i receive in recovery;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
update media, please wait....
update media, finished

Do not leave csc blank in first step (flash to jm8). No idea why someone wrote it.

Hi,
i had the same problem flashing from JM5 to JM8.
When i clicked on reboot the system started without problem.
Then I flshed to JPM --> no problems either.

What happened is you probably flashed using Re-Partition but your PDA and/or CSC was missing the cache.rfs file.
If you tick Re-Partition, you MUST flash the complete set of firmware files (those that include cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs) otherwise you'll get errors like that.
To fix it you have to flash again with Re-Partition and make sure this time your PDA or CSC file has the cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs file inside. You'll lose all your app data, so backup first.
Next time when u flash, don't Re-Partition unless you know you need to. For example, the official JPM/JP6 Froyo update files do not come with a dbdata.rfs, so if you (wrongly) click Re-Partition when u flash them, you're gonna get a similar error but with the /dbdata partition instead.

Had the same problem when I forgot to do disable OCLF on one of my reflash.
I repartitioned, then flashed to JM8 with odin without repartioning (all pit 512) and worked like a charmed.

The only time i get this error is when i flash a FW and it requires a diff pit file.

I am getting a similar error when attempting to "format internal sd-card" in recovery mode.
I get the following error:
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.
Similarly, I didn't remove OCLF before I attempted to flash XXJPM using Odin, so maybe it has something to do with that?
Does a full flash overwrite any changes made by OCLF? If not, how can this be remedied?

I also flashed using Step 3 from the same link as was provided by jahash. I think it may have something to do with the lagfix not being removed.

Should have read further before posting I guess, but I think my question is answered in post #7 of the HOWTO link.
My next question is, can anyone point me to a dbdata.rfs file that would resolve this problem?

This happened because when u flashed JPM you ticked re-partition (which you shouldn't have). Its not caused by OCLF.
To fix it you have to flash again with re-partition using another firmware package which has the dbdata.rfs file (JM8 for example, JPM is missing it). Then after that if u want JPM flash it but DONT tick re-partition.

Thanks hardcore, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I will re-flash wish JM8 and then with JPM with partition unchecked.
Thanks, I'll report back with results.

As you said, I made a mistake. Went through steps 1, 2 and 3 and everything is fine now! Cheers!

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?

XIAfbk like one of the rep said earlier, you must also flash with csc as well. So pick your original csc when you flash JM8. I had the the same problem and it was fixed when i flash the second time with my original csc as well.

Where do you get an original csc file? I'm having exactly the same problem..
My phone is orange uk.. did not back up efs folder before flashing to froyo via kies reg hack.. Didn't know i had to..
Changed phone to xeu csc on froyo but now am reflashing whole process jm8-jpm-jpo.. to try to fix some modem issues..

Thanks
hardcore's post helped me a lot the procedure he posted works well ..... thanks hardcore

I just got out of this issue after struggling for 1 whole day. I tried each and every solution/suggestion/recommendation available on the web but NOTHING seemed to work. If you are in the same boat, here is some good news for you.
You don't need to mess around with CWM or Voodoo or whatever, simply use ODIN to flash the latest stock JPU (2.2.1) from the link below. This one does a complete rewrite of every partition on your device, including /cache, which is the issue here.
http://hotfile.com/dl/88094739/f5545cc/I9000XXJPU.exe.html
Once it is done, all your partitions will be properly mounted and formatted as per defaults. Then you may choose any rom you may like.
Just make sure you use the PIT, PDA, MODEM, and CSC files come with this firmware. Don't forget to click repartition.
Good luck!!!

Galaxy S - Doesnt boot any firmware except JM8

Hello,
I apologize if im violating any rules here, but the problem is making me so sick that i dont know what else to do ..
i recently got a i9000, locked to THREE.. had it unlocked, tried to update it via KIES but bricked on the Samsung S (static splash screen).. i tried a couple of firmwares, 2.2's and 2.2.1 (XXJPU) included.. all would just sit at the splash screen doing nothing.. even left it like that for an hour, but still nothing ..
im not sure what to do here. . whenever im stuck, i flash JM8 and while booting it gives me the following:
E: Cant't mount /dev/block/stl11
(invalid argument)
multicsc : cannot access to /system/csc/H3G/system/
copy_common_data E: Cant mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
this only occurs once, once i select reboot system now it reboots fine and after that all other reboots go fine..
another thing that happens is that whenever i flash another firmware via ODIN, i cannot get the 3 -button recovery to work only the download.. while the 3 button recovery works on JM8
please help me.. this fone is driving me crazy

Have you tried re-partitioning in Odin before flashing?
Check re-partition, select correct pit-file, plug, flash, unplug, remove batt for 30 secs, uncheck re-partition, NO pit, select pda, modem, csc, plug, flash -> should work.

i actually tried a different trick to get rid of the errors ..
i used the modem and pda files from JM8 and the CSC file from JPU .. with repartition ticked i used the 512.pit to flash the phone via Odin.. all the errors went away .. well almost .. the phone started throwing a new error .. couldnt mount /dev/blocl/memblk10 or something ..
well .. thats something for the past now.. i got my cell changed .. things seem fine now .. thnx

For anyone checking this thread later for a solution...
I had the E: Cant't mount /dev/block/stl11 error myself and was able to recover via some combination of repartition and supplying a pit file. However, I was simply using a stock firmware for my phone (JH2 with 512 PIT). No fancy pda/modem/csc mixing needed for me

[Q] My galaxy stays in "S" logo and vibrate, what can i do?!

i am now using the ZSJPG 2.2.1 version.
i use this version for few weeks already and there is no problem...
but yesterday i failed to turn it on and it stayed in "S" logo and vibrated....
so far i know 3 ways to solve this...factory reset, flash a rom or flash the original kernel...
but i want to keep my data and files!! which one is better??
thanks to everyone!
many thanks!!

I too have a similar problem ! I tried re-flashing. it doesn't help. When I go into recovery mode, It says " update media, please wait E:cant mount /dev/block/stl10 ( invalid argument) E:copy_dbdata_media : Can't mount DBDATA :

you mean you failed in both re-flashing rom and kernel??

Now it works.. Peculiar!
I was on I9000XWJV1 .. wanted to go back to I9000XWJS8. Tried JPY as well .. Was having the above mentioned problem. Now I flashed it again with JV1, now it works fine.
Could someone explain this ?

I hope this solve your problem.
If that fails, please follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918722&highlight=p1000n
If that still fails, let's start from the very beginning:
you can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/
1a. Download Check Fus Downloader 2.1
Open Check Fus Downloader, and select the correct model of your G-Tab, choose a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
2.a. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
tar.md 5 file.
3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.
4. Go to download mode on the G-tab (Power + Volume down) - connect to your computer.
and click start. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.
Can't guarentee if it would work, but good luck.

Had the same issue because of wrong pit file. Solved when flashing via odin with repartition checked and as pit file: s1_odin_20100512.pit. Downloaded from samfirmware

[Q] Bricked, no download mode, odin won't see phone

Hi, I hope some can help me
Here´s my story, the phone is a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830m, that had GingerBread 2x, I wanted to take it to Kit kat 4x, then I downloaded the CWM 6.0.4.6, but, because of my ignorance, I didn't downloaded the KitKat rom file at the same time, I successfully installed the CWM file, but after this the phone won't boot. The only thing it does is:
Enter recovery mode by pressing Volume Up+Home+Power
Show the Samsung logo
But I cannot make it enter download mode, if I hit VolumeDown+Home+Power it just shows the Samsung logo
If I connect it to the PC via USB cable, the PC won't recognize the phone on the USB drivers list. I already downloaded the Samsung USB drivers
When I enter recovery mode I see the four options for
rebbot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe date/factory reset
wipe cache partition
And below that I see --Appling Multi-CSC --

Hi Raakib, thanks for taking the time to answer! But how can I put the cwm v5 in the phone if the PC doesn't see the phone? Sorry for the basic questions? I'm new in this things. The first time I did this I pluged the phone to the PC and I was able to see the memory card in the windows explorer so I only did a drag and drop, but that doesn't work any more, please advice, thanks!

just do 1 thing download the recovery file on your pc and then plug your sd card using any sort of card reader and then copy the file to memory card . Then insert the memory card in the phone and go to recovery and flash it. Hit thanks.

if u want that your pc should recognize your phone, take it to download mode and see it gets detected in odin or not , if not then swap the drivers maybe upgrade or downgrade.

still no luck
