So I seemingly bricked my i9000m after switching between a few roms, using lagfixes, and custom roms. I thought my phone was bricked until I downloaded the stock rom (ECLAIR.UGJH2) and flashed it via ODIN 1.3. I am able to use my phone fully now on the stock rom but the internal and external SD cannot be mounted.
Is there anyway to reformat or repartition the storage?
I figured that people with this problem were completely bricked or are they able to boot just without the use of any internal or external memory..
UPDATE: Decided to fool around a bit more and upgraded to Froyo JDM. Newest Froyo roms would not boot. Can see 1.89 GB in Internal rom.
Where did you get the stock rom from??
Hello,
firstly, i am very sory for posting this two times as i already posted this in this thread:

Please do not flame me.. i'm only doing this because i'm getting desparate, and maybe it could, to some extent, help some of you to at least make your phone usable as a dumbphone.
I have a problem with my internal SD.. it's very complicated how it came to all this so i'm going to give you a short version..
I've had the phone for over a month now using darkys roms (with voodoo enabled) and then my cat peed on the phone which resulted in me opening it up and cleaning it with alcohol as it went into a restart loop. the phone then booted into recovery but i couldn't mount the sd card.. i then used the JPU 2.2.1 firmware and instaled it with odin. and it worked.. i could access everithyng normaly, but then:
I tryed to do a wipe version of darkys 8.0 and the phone froze when installing.. afterwards i tried to install a stock 2.2.1 JPU firmware and it kept restarting, then i tried the 2.1 again and after the boot animation it booted into a black screen with buttons working (LED).. after some research i installed 2.2.1 again and used speedMod 256 Hz with odin.. now it boots normaly to the system but the internal sd can't be mounted any way so i cant install any apps or use the camera, etc.. it's strange, cause i can't even mount the external SD not in the system and not in recovery (clockwork or e3) (it seems the ext SD is recognised only as a subfolder of the internal SD.. it sucks) so i can't format it.. i still have some hope because the phone boots every time i flash speedmod over 2.2.1 firmware and works as "normal", even if i restart (except some settings not being saved like my google account info..
I guess i hope there is some way to make the phone recognize the external SD card as it's default with some custom kernel, that is why i posted in this thread..
My phone is Europe I9000 non carrier version..
If someone can help me i will be extreemely grateful!
Thanks

I tryed to do a wipe version of darkys 8.0
I would try a install of stock Eclair and nothing else first .

what actually do we have to do if we accidently flash a rom without turning of lagfix? then the partition of the internal memory of ur galaxy s devided into two i supposed..
1. for the rom
2. for the lagfix
what can we do to format then combine both internal memory back into one?

Following Block 2 Odin method is how i recover SGS .

nope, that wont help.. done that before, and my phone still stuck in boot screen then turn of.. lagfix even eat up my internal storage memory making it wont boot
if odin passed on your flash to stock firmware, lagfix would have been removed, there wont be any lagfix on your phone anymore. the reason it is stuck on a boot loop can be many things. did you follow the guide properly. to the exact letter. start - finish
You don't have to disable the lag fix unless the new kernel doesn't support it.

I was out today, minding my own business.
In the middle, my phone just shut off. Restarting it, it would not boot past the kernel boot screen, not even into CWM. When I got home, I oneclicked it to stock in an attempt to return to my nandroid CM7 from right before the full-9 package was released. I encountered an issue.
CWM3 said "Error: Can't mount /sdcard". Booted the phone up in JF6, and the storage menu shows both my External and internals reading with total and available space as "Unavailable", and both the mount and format options on both are greyed out. Internal phone storage is normal, however, and reads 1.73GB.
Don't ask me to flash Froyo or something. Standard 2e recovery does not allow me to use a ROM Manager flashable CWM2, thus I cannot flash Froyo or CM7's package. CM7's initial kernel returns the "Can't mount /sdcard" error, so that's also inadequate.
So, anyone have any idea what I'm dealing with here? How would I be able to go about fixing it? If it helps, my IMEI number and all that jazz is still present.
EDIT: I just realised a perplexing quality. The phone will ONLY boot with an external SD in it... Doesn't matter if I remove it after, it just needs an external in it to boot. Once the phone boots, it's dead weight. Funny, as I always flash without it in there...
EDIT2: Found some info from Supercurio on the Bell Vibrant while searching, I wonder if this is relevant...

On #project-voodoo IRC I helped a user who had issues with his SDcard on a Bell I9000M
Turns out that his internal SD MoviNAND chip was dead!
The system automatically used his external SD as a backup for /data, as the "mmcblk1" device become "mmcblk0".
The internal SD was so dead that the Linux Kernel didn't detected any existence of it anymore.
The symptom that the phone was working (using the external SD) but he couldn't mount his SD card anywhere.
Eventually he had a replacement from Bell in a few days.
What killed the sdcard ? An old Ext2 lagfix when creating the giant 1GB+ loop files.
But it wasn't the lagfix fault. It just acted as accelerator.

But I've never used that lagfix. I've been on Speedmod then CM7 the entire time.
Maybe flash a kernel with CWM in it, such as speedmod with Odin though I'm clueless as to what happened to your phone. I guess do this, flash a new ROM go from there... Sorry this is my only idea.

Already said, CWM returns "Can't mount /sdcard" in CM7's CWM3 from the initial kernel... I can't flash Froyo, so Speedmod is out of the question.

I'd try flashing a full odin stock rom and a .pit with it with repartition checked. I heard someone else with this sort of problem, he used odin one click but still got the same thing, flashed stock gb with a .pit and it worked.

Did not work; tried flashing JH7, KB1 and JF6, all 3 do not boot past the kernel screen. Only OCD JF6 gets the phone in a working way. I found some other threads, but it's looking worse and worse by the second.
ATT is probably getting a call tomorrow...
Same happened to me, I managed to get JI6 working somewhat. Flash the one click ODIN JI6, wait till bootanimation ends, ROM will not boot up completely so go back into download mode, then flashed speedmod with three button ODIN, let boot up complete then go into recovery and delete user data, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Still don't have an mnt/sdcard but at least I can make a phone call.
Also, I lost data connection so I had to manually enter APN in settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, Access point names and create a new APN, I just googled AT&T APN for the values.
Hope it works out as I'm probably going to contact AT&T as well.
I had that happen kinda with "cognadian bacon" it fried my sd card and I flashed odin one click then master cleared in odin. After that I booted up and got my format option back ..... If that doesn't work you could probably hook it to computer (windows) and go under device management and format from there but don't know if will support fat32.. Just a suggestion though.... That what I did for my external sd when it wouldn't recognize it

I have the galaxy s i9000m from bell. I was running 2.2 froyo and I decided to install Voodoo lagfix. It ran fine and I decided to install 2.3 gingerbread. After install it loaded but started lagging a lot, so i restarted it. Then it froze on the galaxy sign so i did a factory reset from recovery but it still does the same. If i go into recovery it gives me an error E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 and internal sd not mounted or something. Tried reflashing with odin but no luck.
