Advice needed - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i managed to get my phone bricked (phone - exclamation mark - pc logo) and then able to get to download mode and re-flash JPM. After flashing complete, it went to recovery mode and the below error shows:
update media...
e:can't mount \dev\block\st110 (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.
The phone manages to boot to Galaxy logo pass the flying objects, but stuck at the "S" logo and then vibrates a couple of times before switching off.
Any idea how to proceed next?

flash JM5 with 512 pit and re-partition enabled
then flash JPM with re-partition DISabled

did you have a lagfix enabled beforehand?
no speedmod is the first one

not kernel, lagfix. did you enable a lagfix in the speedmod kernel?
yeah i had the rfs converted to ext4

then that's what caused it. you should have disable your lagfix before flashing the new rom. i'm not 100% sure on this but i think you need to do a factory reset and reflash and repartion. maybe some more knowledgeable could answer that one though.
Maybe Ur other kernel not support ext4 filesystem.
reflash speedmod kernel and disable lagfix then flash Ur other kernel.
I've had the same problem. The pit file I used was wrong. I was using 513 instead of 512. Try reflashing eclair. And make sure the region is the same.
i disabled the lagfix before flashing the new kernel...anyway guys i got is sorted finally...i repartitioned and flshed XXJPO using odin...thank god it worked...thank you all for caring

I'm in the same boat. Is there any way you can help me?
I've flashed xxjpo using odin but still have the issue.
First, I set up the PIT using 512. Repartition, auto reboot a f restart all checked, the two below, not checked. Connect the phone, run it, disconnect the phone, pull battery, start into download mode again.
Next, I flash the pda with the xxjpo firware from the stock firmwares section here. I unchecked repartition, but left the other two, and I'm back at square one. Is there any way you can walk me through how you got back to a booting OS?

[Q] Screwed up after flashing

EDIT - See bottom of post - I solved it!
After trying out CyanogenMod, I decided to flash back to JL2 on my Bell I9000M.
Reading the directions to flash back it said just to flash using Odin with repartition. So I do so using the JL2 firmware from samfirmware.com.
After rebooting, however, I'm presented with the following:
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 me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Formatting and wiping using the recovery menu has no effect. Rebooting gets me to the "S" logo, but it just sits there and vibrates every so often after that. Reflashing has no effect, and I've tried using PIT files to no avail.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I was able to flash hardcore's kernel and boot into ClockworkMod, and I formatted all the partitions there, but it still throws the same error.
EDIT: No need to respond to this. I figured it out, and I'll do a writeup on how I fixed it for those who may end up in the same predicament as me.

[Q] phone goes to black screen

Hi all
I have the Bell Samsung Galaxy S I-9000
I think I screwed up my phone by trying to put to an update the CSC using Odin
After rebooting, it was always rebooting to the recovery mode.
when I reboot the phone, the boot animation will come up but when it will try to go into the OS my phone will shake and my screen will go black and will shake every 10 sec
I tried to restore my phone with the previous Rom that I saved but no luck.
Tried to reflash with Odin the stock firmware but no luck
I found something on the forumt to use Odin and click the re-partition and have the 512 Pit file and reflash the rom but didn't work.
And also when I flash the stock rom it will reboot in recovery mode and give me this error 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 me nu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed
=========================
Also I have tried to format the internal memory too and wipe data/cache
is their any other suggestion that you guys can suggest to do
Thanks
Paco
AHHHH false alarm I did something else and it worked
I did a flash with rom + pit + modem + CSC and I have put the option re-partition and the other 2 option in Odin
and now no more black screen

[Q] Please help format SD Card

Today my phone randomly rebooted when idle and didn't get past the talon loading screen when running Dlev 4.2 rom. it was working fine for 1.5 weeks or so on that rom and had made no changes other than activating voodoo lagfix yesterday. No matter what I did (Factory reset, clear cache...etc) it still wouldn't get past the talon loading screen so I reinstalled Dlev 4.2. Same problem, won't get past the kernel loading screen. So I flashed stock JL1 (rogers) with odin and my phone booted, but then had tonnes of fc's and eventually just reboot into 3e recovery and had a bunch of red errors (can't mount a bunch of stuff). It gave me the option to format sd card, so I chose that but it told me sd card was not found. I then thought to 1 click JF6, but after the at&t screen the phone just goes to black screen with lights on. I can get into 2e recovery mode still but no download mode with key combo's. I believe the sd card needs to be reformatted. I have a jig coming someday soon, ordered it 2 weeks ago, but I was wondering if there is anything I can try till it arrives to revive my phone. I tried adb commands from recovery but it doesn't detect my phone. My computer says installing drivers (CDC Abstract control Model (ACM)) but nevers finishes installing them. Thanks for you help.
I was able to get into download mode by typing adb reboot download when phone was booting. I flashed one of the speedmod kernels I had on my computer and I can boot into CWM Recovery now. I formatted sdcard and reflashed JL1 but still no boot. What else can I try???
Edit: I think my internal memory is damaged or something. When I boot into 3E recovery I get the following errors.
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(I/O error)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot action.
E:copy_dbdata_media: format SDCARD:
Formatting SDCARD:...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(I/O error)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
copy default media content failed.
Edit 2:
I have been doing research and have found out that I need to fix my partitions at /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. I pushed parted to my phone and used adb shell to run it following directions of a website, but when I try to make a new filesystem by typing parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 mlfs ext2 I get an error Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0p1: unrecognized disk lable. I don't know linux at all. Can anyone help please.

[I9000] CM7.1RC update failed -> back to XXJPK failed - help!

I've been on CM7.1RC for a while, recently apps kept crashing for no reason. I have a lot of apps tried disabling some things with autostarts but there were too many apps and too many triggers and all to hard.
So tried wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache, phone took a long time to reboot, was OK for a while but then same thing reoccurred.
So I decided to reinstall CM to the latest daily following wiki instructions, but I did something in the wrong order and got stuck in a bootloop before I had put the zips on the internal SDCard.
So I though, I'll go back to XXJPK using ODIN and restart from there. Again, bootloop. I have download mode and recovery 3e working, recovery 3e brings up error 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.
pease use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed​
I tried to reformat the internal SDCARD using the recovery 3e options and re-ODIN XXJPK but no joy.
Suggestions?
I am getting the same bootloop described in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466838
but flashing with the stock XXJPK I originally used did not get it out of the bootloop. Any other pointers?
