Hi All,
I'm using a bell i9000m. I accidentaly deleted the update.zip from the sd card after playing around with the voodoo fix. I decided to reflash the stock ROM JH2 with pit512. When i boot the device it passes the galaxy s screen and then the screen goes black. When i enter the recovery mode and i try to apply the update.zip but it obviously fails because its not there. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Is not having the update.zip file preventing me from booting normally?
Thanks

this is the issue, corrupted sdcard.
I have to send it in for repair
Hi I moved from JPC to JM6 recently.,
today I hung up after a call then my phone's screen when blank.
Although my two buttons were lighted, my whole screen went complete blank.
I came home to flash it with different ROMS.
always repartitioned with proper pit file (512)
recovery mode to factory reset.
but no matter which rom I try,
my phone would always go blank screen right after the boot logo.
could anyone please help me with this?
AM I experiencing same problem as http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7541128 ?
the guy resolved the problem by flashing different FW but i tried at least 5 different FW.
with or with out pit partition
in Samsung recovery mode 3E
I can't format my SD card and it gives me can't mount error
(galaxy I9000M)
just a suggestion, can you try using leshak's update.zip where he downgraded the recovery 3e to 2e? looks and try reformating again?
double post. apologies.
I can't upload update.zip as i can't put my phone into mass storage mode.
matter of fact, my phone goes blank after galaxy S bootlogo
Make sure youre using the correct pit files for each firmware and try both froyo and eclair firmwares.
Also, remove microsd and sim card when you flash.
And tick "repartition" in odin each time.
I had the same issue and eventually it just worked. In 95% confident you can fix it

I spent all day doing the above.
it's corrupted internal SDcard issue.
I have Paul's (modaco) JP3 ROM with clockworkmod built in which allows me to go to
clockwork recovery right after the flash
format sdcard is there but due to the permission issue, I can't format my SDcard
I can get into ADB by SGS but i have no access to /sdcard "permission denied"

I sent my phone in for repair yesterday
I will continue my story on this thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=759910
for future reference
after 2wks and half I got my phone back.
they ended up replacing the motherboard of the phone.
I have a peculiar problem.
I flashed a Doc Rom yesterday. After restarting the phone simply will not go past Black white samsung screen. I thought something might be wrong and flashed JPY firmware using odin. It was successful. But everything is fine except that the phone will not go past the Galaxy S boot animation screen. When I went to recovery mode it is showing an error message which goes something like this" cannot mount media. sd card requires preparation. go to the UI and format and boot options." I have got 3 button recovery as well as download mode. Is it possible to correct this error using ADB? Can somebody guide me. I am desperate as I love my phone very much.
i will not look for the problem cause ... if you have cwm check if lagfix is disabled and flash new rom via "install zip file" in cwm ... don't worry your phone is fine

At present condition, I have no CWM. I have only recovery 3e. Is it possible to flash CVM rhrough Odin?
If you can flash voodoo kernel, that has CMW inbuilt? Then try and figure it out from there?
I solved the problem by doing the following steps:
1. followed this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807784 and flashed XWJM8 whatever that may mean.
2. Voila after flashing the above with odin my phone restarted with familiar UI.
3. Suddenly I noticed that my phone does not have an IMEI and my sim card not detected. I was tempted to copy my backed up EFS folder and I resisted the temptation. Instead I copied the CWM and Doc's rom which I was using prevously to the External SD and afterwards copied the same to Internal SD.
4. I started my phone in recovery mode and i could see that still the error message was there. But I flashed CWM and again flashed Doc's Rom. After the phone restarted, I found that my sim was detected and everything was back to normal. OMG what a relief it was.
5. Thanks to XDA and it's members for helping me.

Borrowing the tread. I was using CM9 and installed NStools and after a while my phone rebooted and started then froze at my homescreen. I went in to recovery and did a factory reset and the phone worked again. So I tried installing NStools again and got bootloops so I did a factory reset again but now I get bootloops and I can't go in to recoverymode.
My question is can I just flash EZbase 4.0 (Gingerbread) and then flash CM9 directly from it?
Thanks.
I'm trying to update Firefly from 2.0.5 to 2.2 but for some reason it's not working.
I used Odin to flash to stock Rogers 2.1 (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20958367/I896UXJI2-homebinary.tar) which boots fine now. I then rooted and installed clockworkmod and uploaded firefly to my sd card and renamed it to update.zip.
Now every time I use clockworkmod to apply the update.zip, it just flashes a few lines then goes back to the green menu.
Can anyone help me figure this out please?

why are you renaming the rom to update.zip?
how do you expect clockwork to actually work? when you flash clockworkmod recovery it puts an update.zip onto your sdcard....that gets you into CWM....
stop renaming roms to update.zip!
Leave firefly name alone don't rename it to update.zip and choose install from zip
[ROM] Precision 3.5 [Kernel] Suckerpunch #51
Oooh! I thought I had to rename it
Let me try it this way then, thanks!
edit: Wow I'm dumb. Can't believe it was that simple.
This is how you brick your phone. Read up on how to flash a rom dont just poke around. But its you phone if you what a $200.00 paper weight have at it.
Issue resolved Thread closed. Please make sure you know what you are doing when trying to flash your phone, Being not sure of it will lead to a big brick
I was trying to install Voodoo on my phone, it got through the first couple of steps (phone talking to me) then it went back to the android system recovery screen. If i try to reboot it goes to the att splash screen a couple times then goes back to the recovery screen. try to reinstall package and it runs some yellow text in regards to voodoo and then does the same thing.
I had the new stock froyo 2.2 and clockwork mod for recovery but i had the replace the install.zip with the voodoo.
I have no idea what to do at this point

You will need the kernel that was made for the 2.2 update. Any vodoo will not work. Please search before opening a new thread.

Did you read my first question?
Maybe you should reconsider answering it again. You didn't give any usefull information.
And please don't answer with: "What do you want to know?"
I downloaded [PhilZ-cwm6][n7000] Stock Kernel+CWM6 put it in root of sdcard on phone.
Then went into stock recovery and update from sdcard .It starts to flash but progress bar goes off after
part way through and phone switches off...
I also tried to do it using Odin but it gets stuck on Nand write start
