e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0p1
(NO SUch file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount sdcard
any help
i assume you had voodoo. Flash to 2.1, restart (phone still wont start) to download mode and flash voodoo again. Phone will start. Next time when updating disable voodoo.
Oh and, wrong section.
Try flashing jm8 with repartition ticked in odin

i do the lag fix but not the voodoo
any help and sorry for the section
Okay, what lagfix could you possibly use than? Mimocans? If yes - than the method is same. Flash 2.1 and apply mimocans kernel. If something else that converts, shifts data than also the same.
If OCLF - it is unimportant, it is deleted during flash.

and you couldnt possibly during this time tried my method (if you had voodoo it works).

i do the oclf not the voodoo
Assuming you have a i9000m (Aka a bell vibrant).
Welcome to the club of dead internal sdcards.
Your only option is to flash back to stock and give it for repair.
Are you getting e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0 as well ?
Heres a thread about it : Link

than you did the repartition during flash to voodoo - which you shouldnt do. Repartition + flash to 2.1 and flash to 2.2 (use Doc's rom - safer and easier).
i used the oclf and flash with more than one firmware and the same problem

ya that is my device and that is the error
but the big problem i'm outside Canada now
so there is no solution
Yea, I got that same message last night when I tried to flash JPM with 512.PT over my already-installed JPM (reasons for doing this are irrelevant).
What you gotta do is;
1 - Download JM8, JPM, Odin 1.3, 512.PIT and 803.PIT
2 - Flash JM8 with 512.PIT - select Re-partition option
3 - Once it's done and booted all the way to TW, go to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset
4 - Flash JPM with 803.PIT - make sure Re-partition option is NOT selected
5 - Once it's done and booted all the way to TW, go to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset
That worked for me
You can find all these files, flashing instructions, and booting to recovery instructions all over this forum.
Good luck, champ.
it does not work thank u
Hi!
1st of all, I'm new to the Samsung rooting world, and might be under influence of procedures from the HTC proces. So I just want to get verified a couple of things, before rooting my SGS
I want to root and flash Darky's custom ROM.
So, going through the forum, I found the guide about root/flash/ADB... and so on. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
The 1st step (underneath), is this the same as rooting? And can I flash any custom ROM after this, or should I proceed with step 2 and flash the update.zip, or is this unneccesary?
1.Flash Firmware using Odin.
Note: This will in (almost) all cases erase all your data and applications (includind root!). It will NOT touch the internal or external SD card.
Note: It appears now, that in some newer batches (originally only in Canada, but reports have come in from Australia and Germany), the phone has the three-button combination for download-mode disabled (VolumeDown+Home+Power or alternatively Home+Power on some phones). Check if the download-mode combo works BEFORE flashing! Please refer to FAQ#A12 and T&T#23 for a fix for the download mode if it doesn't work on your phone!
Requirements:
-Odin3 version 1.0 or version 1.3 (Note: Odin should be on the system partition (the partition where windows is installed) to avoid possible issues)
-".PIT" file for the Samsung Galaxy S (See FAQ#B9 for the version to use!)
-USB cable
-Desired firmware package
Procedure:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (.PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Check the "Re-Partition" checkbox.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.When the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

2nd - I was currious about the 3-button fix... can I test this? And what is the dealio with this? Would I be unable to get into custom revocery, if I don't flash this at first?
WHen the phone is turned off, I can't get into download mode, by pressing VolDown+Home+Power. Nothing happens when the phone is on either
The phone is updated to 2.2 using Kies and registry patcher
thanks in advance
best regards Lars
Edit:
It seems that i can't get into recovery, nor download mode.
Is there any relativily "safe" way to get along from here?
I was thinking about installing ROM manager and flash ClockWorkRecovery from here, and get into recovery mode this way. But I still ned to flsah the firmware. How do I do this?
So, now I will provide my own answer, after several days of research...
found this app via google - Z4root (google it if you want to follow the next part)
downloaded the zip-file, unpacked it, copied it to phone, installed the app. pressed the root-button. Phone rebooted, and I was now rootet. Easy

Yes it work if you not on froyo 2.2.1.
Then you need an other way to root.
Is your 3button combo don't work you need to fix that first before you start flashing stuff.

Thanks... Im currently reading about the 3 button fix... thought it might be a good idea to get that working too Im on android 2.2, so lucky I couldnt get Kies to update to 2.2.1 with registry patcher...
do you know how to flash custom recovery?
I tried ROM manager and clockwork mod recovery, but it still boots into android recovery

Yes you need to fix that.
Well you can flash a custom kernel.

finally... got the 3 button fix to work with odin, and can move on... but it seems im need to revert to android recovery (2e) to get on from here and flash a custom ROM/update.zip that is compatible with Clockworkmod.
when i try to flash update.zip it says the whole file-name, or something was unknown. so I guess 3e wont work for me :/

Well if you have the phone rooted and have installed busybox 1.7 then you can try out my kernel. Just dl the app and you flash a kernel. Try it out first.
Then you can try some rom. You can flash them with that kernel you did install.

Hi. I recently tried to update my rom to on from the rom kitchen and something didnt work. so after waiting 1.5h on the boot screen i opened clockwork and tried to restore a backup I made right before flashing. The thing is that what ever I do I always end up booting into clockwork again.
I did not disable lagfix prior to first flash and now I cant because it reboots to clockwork.
Anyone have an idea, or solution? Can I install another rom through odin with my ext4 lagfix on?
in clockwork do a factory reset and also clear cache and so on.
go and flash a stock rom thru odin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and then start all over again
providing you have download mode you should be ok
Thanks!
Are you shure that I can flash a stock rom on a ext4 filesystem? everyware I read thay say I must disable lagfix before start
If you want to return to RFS by default just flash a stock ROM and then do a wipe/factory reset into Recovery 3e.....it should work (it works for me! XD)!
Should re partition be on in odin?
only if you have all 3 files, if not dont use pit or re partition. flashing a stock will erase the ext4 and convert back to rfs so dont fret about that.
ideally you would want a 3 file firmware so you can re partition but most firmwares now only come in 1 file, so you may need to dig a little deeper if the 1 file doesnt fix your problem. i've never had to use a 3 file firmware so i couldnt direct you to one sorry.
if you really want the 3 file + pit + repartition on samfirmware.com there is the JS3 in Yellow.....it's the 3 file rom with pit and repartition!!

HI Friends,
I have applied z4root temp root and applied OCLF lag fix in my SGS now. After reboot phone not booting . It got stuck at galaxy S logo.
How can i recover my mobile. The 3 button recovery mode is working now.
What i have to do now ?
1) factory reset in the recovery mode or
2) I have to use odin to flash the stock firmware
Please help..
Gokul
Factory reset first .
Flash stock via Odin but undo lagfix first .
jje
Thanks for your reply
I Can't boot the phone now. Its got stuck in the logo .
Then how i can i undo the lagfix ?
Does ODIN flashing requires removing lagfix in the phone ?
Can i directly flash the STOCK firmware with OCLF lagfix enabled ?

Search in the threads for help, but if you flash a stock ROM that includes a PIT file and check "Repartition", you should be ok even without removing the lagfix.
However, search for better answers as I am no expert yet.
This is a good thread to start with as just a way to get your phone up and running...
factory reset works for me.. but all apps gone.. restoring my all apps now...
Okay,
So i have searched, I was on 2.3.3 custom rom, and then i went on to flash Onecosmic's ICS Port Android 4.0.3 RC1, i flashed the kernel first and then from then on i cant go past flash screen. I tried flashing official firmware from here "I9000DXJV9_OLBJV9_DXJV9" but it wont go past flash screen. any help??? Can somebody link me to full official rom with bootloader and everything.??
register at sammobiles.com and find your firmware there, then flash it through ODIN. Then flash your KERNEL then any custom rom. If you find bootloop, you will need to flash a voodoo kernel this gives you other options in CWM to enable you to disable ALL lags. Then you should be fine. You can reflash any other kernel once your all done.

Ok i will try find out a vooddoo kernel, but if you please can link me to it, it will be very easier
Ok i flashed the voodoo kernel and from CWM i disabled the lagfix. And then again i i got the same error, "failed to mount /dbdata" after flashing through odin. And again back to bootloop.
What do i do.
Thankfully i can get into recovery menu. And i tried restoring nand backup but i got an error flashing boot image.
What's the next step
Try this. Remove BOTH external sd card and sim card. Boot to recovery, goto mounts/storage and format sdcard, back to recovery head menu, factory reset/wipe, format cache/format dalvik cache then remove battery, boot to doenload and flash rom agin with odin
Oh, and dont forget to disable ALL lagfixes BEFORE odin flash.
i had the same problem yesterday, what i did is i flashed through odin some 2.2 froyo (3 files) with repartition and the problem was solved; the rom was pre rooted JP3 ; hope it helps you
