[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

E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists) Problem

Hello every one,
I tried to flash my Bell Samsung Galaxy GT I 9000M with gingerbread but things got messy and now I am stuck in bootloops...
I have already tried to flash back to the stock Eclair room but it's still not working.
I can still access download mode and recovery.
Here is the error message I get when I go into recovery:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format and reboot actions
Media files copy failed.
I think I need the seperate PIT, PDA and PHONE files to flash via Odin ticking repartion, and then upgrade to last version avaible via kies to fix this. But I don't where to get this files for Bell Canada I9000M.
I don't know how to fix this. Can someone help me ?
Here was my phone stock configuration before all that happens:

Note: I hope I posted at the right place, if not the mods can feel free to move it

google searched and found this in an old thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-768441.html
http://www.multiupload.com/N62CDNXXXK I haven't downloaded the file so I'm not sure if it is 3 parts.
The other thing I'm thinking of (and I hope is not true), is the time when all Bell I9000M phones were dying after the official upgrade to froyo 2.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=886158
Best of luck to you, sorry I can't be of more help as I'm not that experienced with this.

Thanks man.
I found a way to fix it. I installed back the stock I9000UGJL2 froyo via ODIN using 512 PIT file and repartition, then I got this new error message
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
After that I followed this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140 to solve it.
Now I'm back on trail and I have to find a safer way to instal Gingerbread JVH.
I will try the method that you described me here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075144&page=2 but I would be happy to have some more details and the exact files I have to use...
I'm afraid to get in troubles again.
Thanks again for your help JJustin.

I found a way to solve my problem (i described it in the other thread I started http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14620127#post14620127).
Now eventhough I am not so confident, I will try to install gingerbread again using other methods.
I am open to any ideas. I will let you guys know if I get it right.
Thank you all.

If u want gingerbread follow darkys guide exactly and u will run gingerbread

[Q] Rogers AIO mount/st110

Hi Guys
Trying to go from Cyanogenmod 7 nightly back to stock
Been spending hours on this. Read through the AIO captivate thread and noted a few others with:
E: cant mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:Copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Stuck in this loop, wont go past this point with newish Rogers Captivate
Initially it was the ODIN version causing it for Rogers users but supposedly v1.0 should be OK and that's whats packed with the Rogers Version
But i can't get passed the mounting issue, things i've tried:
1. Just loading pre packaged PIT file with repartition ticked - Hangs
2. Loading pre packaged PIT and PDA with repartiton ticked - Can't mount
3. Loading pre packaged PIT and PDA part ticked / reboot / reset button / load just PDA part unticked - Can't mount
I've seen others load different PIT and JM files but they mostly seem to be for the AT&T version.
Anyone know which files i can try individually for rogers to get past this mounting issue?
cheers

there is a guide here on how to go back from cm7 on fascinate, maybe that would work for your solution.

Had a quick look in the Fascinate forum, didn't see anything going back from CM7 i was also under the impression to OS structure was different for the fascinate?
In the mean time i managed to load just the PIT file with repartition ticked, but still a no go.
I've tried wiping user data, cache's, factory reset all from the 3 button recovery and Nada
everything keeps coming back to:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Luckily i can still get into recovery and download, but only with the buttons.
EDIT: Sorry put question in wrong section and currentyl following this thread to see if it fixes it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133

You hear that ??? Thats my sign of relief
In all my reading around somehow i missed this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133
Fixed it by flashing AT&T first and then the Rogers afterwards, worked like a charm.
Big thanks to the guys who provided the files, i couldn't thank you in the thread cos i don't have 10 post yet

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.
