[Q] Forgot to disable lagfix. Need help flashing with Odin

Hi guys,
A few days ago I made the silly mistake of trying a new rom without first disabling the lagfix. I didn't realise what the problem was straight away so I tried factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik with no luck. I booted to 2e recovery to do the wipes.
I have since been trying to flash a new rom with Odin but am constantly getting stuck on cache.rfs. I have been reading through posts for days and tried every fix I could find with no luck. All ports, different computers, different OS but no luck!
I don't know a lot about flashing or Android so I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong, or maybe I have the wrong files or something.
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA: CODE_I9000XWJM9.tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5
CSC: CSC_I9000XSAJP4.tar = Australian unbranded CSC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856072
I have been doing some reading on the CSC and I'm wondering if it is incompatible or something which might not be letting it load. I don't know the original CSC major version because I didn't check before I broke my phone.
Is it possible that I am using the wrong major version or something?
I've been 4 days now without my galaxy and I'm starting to get desperate.
Can anyone confirm that I'm doing the flashing right/wrong? Maybe offer a suggestion on something else to try?
thanks guys
Edit: I'm running XP on my laptop, but I have a win 7 pc too

The firmware I am trying to flash is JM9 from Samfirmware.com and the CSC file is the Australian unbranded CSC available here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856072

I know this might be a no brainer, but back when I wasn't as clued up about flashing as I am now. I too kept getting stuck at this while using Odin when I forgot to disable lag fix. After googling I managed to find a solution to my problem and it was very simple yet effective. All I had to do was set odin to run as Windows XP in compatibility mode and run as admin. I never thought it would work but it did, maybe it will work for you...
Hope you get this sorted mate.

PaulForde: Can you confirm that I am flashing the right way? Do you think it's possible I have the wrong CSC file?

WTF!?!?!?! I tried get into the error message screen again and the phone booted up this time... and it works!!!!!!!
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.1 update 1
Baseband: I9000XXJM4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.XWJM8
What does this mean? Did the Odin flash actually work???????????????
Just checked the internal sd card and all the files are still there. Can anyone shed some light on what has happened?

Are you cheking the "Re-Partition" option when flashing with Odin? I think this option should solve the problem when you forget to disable lagfixes...

Yes I have checked this box but because Odin never gets passed cache.rfs it has never actually finished the process. I have had to pull the battery every time.
What does this mean for my file system? would it still be formatted as ext4 or rfs?
Originally when I installed the custom rom without disabling the lag fix I had tried to apply the lag fix on top of what was already there and this is when all the problems started.

I just tried to flash a different firmware and can confirm that it is changing, yet it is still hanging up at cache.rfs.
Can anyone confirm what will happen if I check the repartition box without having a CSC file? I don't want to make this any worse...

Hey, I'm having the exact problem as you and yes I forgot to disable lagfix But oding is not helping me at all. When I try flashing my phone it actually goes all the way to the green "pass" but after when it reboots I get the error about the sd card not mounting. Any help?

My phone is finally working again but it's probably not 100%
The reason Odin would hang at cache.rfs for me was the CSC file I was using. I googled the errors I was getting on startup of my SGS (shown above) and they turned out to be minor. Simply hitting 'reboot' got my phone to start up! But there were a few problems once it was up like not being able to download apps from the market.
When my phone started up I did the *#1234# and found my CSC to be XEE so I downloaded that and tried to flash with it using Odin and it worked However it wouldn't do the repartition which was annoying.
I'm not game to try and reapply a lagfix and see if my system is back to normal since it all seems to be working now

i'm having the same problem odin is flashin fine getting all the way to complete but when it reboots the phone it gets stuck saying cant mount dev.....blah same as the rest. if i pull the battery and try rebooting i get past the s screen but just stops at a black screen and vibrates every now and then. help me

This one sounds a bit different to my problem. Odin wouldn't flash in my case, which was the problem

[Q] Internal SD Card Won't Mount

I turned on my phone today to find that it mysteriously shut off...I went to turn it back on, and it just sits at the first screen forever (the one that says GT-I9000), so I pull the battery and boot into recovery. In the command line section, I get:
Code:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
My guess is that it's some sort of a partitioning error, but I really have no clue...is this a fixable error? Also, if it makes a difference, my phone is the Canadian Bell version (GT-I9000M), purchased back in September. I've been using i9000 ROMs since I got it though, and they seem to work flawlessly (much, much better than using whatever is out there specifically for the I9000M, anyway).
Thanks in advance!

your phone is fried, just take a quick gaze upon the forums, you have a very common problem, call bell, get a 100 dollar credit and a new phone in 1 week

Try formatting your internal sd card via recovery 3e or CWM (what ever you use).

When I try to format it using 3e, I get the same error message as on entering recovery move (can't mount). I've also tried several 3e factory resets and cache partition wipes, and Odin reflashes, but no luck from any of it.

Try flashing with these steps. I didn't have my internal SD die but I could not mount or format mine. Flashing with the 3 part older firmware and then upgrading to a new firmware without repartitioning has saved me several times. Let me know if it works for you.

It happened to me as well, but mine was because battery was dead.
So the obvious advise is to charge the battery completely before you do anything.

The battery is sufficiently charged, I'm pretty sure
After flashing to JPY through Odin, when it finishes and says pass, the screen goes blank, and then the only thing that will work is download mode (holding the power button to turn it on doesn't produce a bootloop). In the morning, I'll probably try the non-Odin method.

Flash using odin xxjpk than latest rom like darky v8.1

Did you follow the whole post I showed you? The symtoms you are describing sounds like you jumped directly to flashing jpy which will not work. You need to flash the 3 part jpu first.
They advice to flash jl2 may work as well. Jl2 has actual code changes to address sdcard issues. You may experience issues going to jpy afterwards though.

Sorry...I meant JPU, not JPY
I flashed JL2, which bootloops at the galaxy s screen (where it says GT-I9000M), and can't access recovery mode (it can access download mode though)
What should I do from here?

okay, that is fine. Now you need to flash with an older firmware, then a newer one. 3 part jpu with repartition, then jpy without repartition. If that doesn't work, you may have a dead sd. But I was bootlooping on JL2 just before I fixed mine. Here you can read this thread too where I posted fixing mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892534
P.S. its supposed to not boot on the first flash (black screen). Thats why you need to flash it twice. It takes some code from the older firmware and some from the newer.

Tried, and that didn't work, so I'm assuming that my internal SD card is done; thanks for the help, though
does Samsung have an official statement on their "new phone + $100" thing I've seen around? I can't imagine that's something the store I bought my phone at will want to help me with

My friend works at Bell. He told me they are sending phones in for repair or replacement. Takes about a week. He didn't know if they are still giving out $100. He didn't think so.
Crappy about the phone. Was worth a try.....

[Q] Can't boot into OS not matter how many times I flash it with Odin...

Hi all I own an international i9000 (Hong Kong version),
My little woe started like this, I was uninstalling RyanZA's OCLF, when I encountered an error where I couldnt uninstall the ext2 tools. I read somewhere on a fix for it, where I downloaded a app called Mount /system (rw / ro) in which i set the system to RW, and then I was able to uninstall ext2 tools.
Afterwards I tried to install the Voodoo lagfix via odin.
After that, it refused to boot to the load screen (Galaxy S logo) and stayed in the i9000 screen saying restore operation then the device reboots itself.
Out of desperation I reflash my phone with my phone's 2.2 firmware "I9000ZSJPE" but that didn't work either, the first time it boots when I flash the firmware, I get taken to recovery mode, and I get this message:
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.
copy default media content failed
No matter how many times I flash the firmware, I keep getting this message...
Is there any way to get my phone up and running again?
Thanks!

Hey, dont panic, its no biggie... this happened to me last week, you need to find a firmware that contains 'dbdata' im unsure which ones do contain it... i know darkys 9.2 Odin version definately has it... thats the rom i used to fix my phone last week.
EDIT: found this.... this should work :
This one is easy to fix so don't panic.
Download this ROM and extract (Odin 1.7 and 512.pit are included), then do as follows:
-Start Odin and load 512.pit, don't connect the phone yet.
-Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked, don't change anything else.
-Load PDA.tar.md5 as PDA, MODEM.tar.md5 as PHONE and CSC.tar.md5 as CSC.
-Put your Phone on download mode and connect it, start flashing.
When flashing is done, the phone will enter recovery mode, if it get stuck at the same error, simply do a wipe/factory reset and reboot the phone, the phone shall boot normally then.

damn, this is why we NEED XDA forums and other members! I would have hyperventilated if this happened to me! good thing there is a solution posted here

It seems my earlier reply did not send through, but I'll say it again,
Thanks a lot!!! my SGS i9000 is up and running again!!!"

Hey no probs !!! glad to hear you got it fixed nothing worse than the feeling of your beloved precious phone dying infront of your eyes, and the sweat dripping down your forehead when you try mouth to jack input resuscitation.................. or is that just me ??
haha anyways hitting the thanks button would suffice

I recomend you to think about to buy a USB jig
You can find it on this page --> http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=100
I don't say that it will work but it should.
U can read this post to --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128&highlight=usb+jig if you think you can make one you self.
I have the same problem and I'm w8ing for the USB jig to be delivered.

You don't need the jig if you can get into download mode with the 3button method. What you need to do is get into download mode and reflash with a full firmware that contains 3 file with repartition checked and a 512.pit. Any updates after this just use firmware with one file and no repartition.

If you read the last link you will c why I gave him the USB jig fix links... That is if he can't get in to download mode.
And it sounds like the same problem like I have so I asumd that he have the same problem like me.

Just a heads up, the i9000b can have issues with certain firmware. If you know what original firmware was on there restore to that, it needs to have a pda, modem and csc file to fix your error though.
There are some firmwares here that might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782686&page=12

[Q] Bricked my Galaxy S?

Hi all,
Long story made short, I was trying to downgrade from Froyo 2.2 on my T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S (which gave me nothing but pure misery) to the stock 2.1.
I used ODIN to flash a new ROM, and unfortunately, I'm assuming it was the wrong ROM (I9000UGJG8). My phone now loads into the Android system recovery (2e). I can select options using the up and down volume keys, but the power button won't execute them. At the bottom of the screen, it says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD: copy default media content failed.
I am unable to get into download mode (I've tried the button combinations and a combination where you plug the USB cable into it while it's off).
The phone is visible in ODIN.
I've been scouring the internet the last several days searching and trying to get my phone to the android it used to be. I've searched the forums and am starting to loose my sanity trying to fix this.
Any help is much appreciated. I know the answer is somewhere out there, but I'm having trouble finding it and am getting tired of trying to fix this phone.
Regards,
Jesse

OK detail what you have tried so far. And can you get to download mode, have you tried another rom or ezbase?
Is the t-mobile sgs compatible with the i9000?
