Hoping a kind soul can help a total fool who should have left well alone!
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone that was unlocked by the previous owner but still had all the "3" branding which I wanted to remove. I was already on ver 2.2 (updated via Kies) although I don't know the exact revision.
After lots of reading (obviously not enough) I followed a guide to reflash via Odin v1.7 to I9000XWJS3 using separate files for PIT (803), PDA, PHONE and CSC. The guide said to tick Re-partition on which might have been the cause of my problem.
Needless to say after the flash, I got the error message "Can't mount /dev/block/st110" and subsequent reboots just give me a black screen. I still had access to the download mode so I tried another posts solution to fix the black screen starting with a flash to I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit and re-partition again. This time the odin process started but no progress bar materialised. After a very long while I disconnected. Thankfully I can still enter the download mode but this time am hoping someone with more knowledge is willing to help me though the process of recovering my phone if its still possible.
Just looking for any stock UK firmware and then I will let Kies update from now on.
Many Thanks
[Solved]
For those that want a quick summary of what restored my phone. Flashing I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit clicking re-partition.

You still can use xxjpc, with repartition ticked. Many a times, odin will fail for no reasons. Try again, but make sure you close Kies completely.

Thanks g00ndu. You gave me the courage to re-run xxjpc again by confirming I was on the right track and this time it worked. Small donation on its way for helping me recover my phone.
I have one further question though. Can someone confirm if the I9000XXJPC firmware is for the UK? I hope to only use Kies from now on but it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated". I am using the latest version 2.0.0.11014_49.
Thanks again
Edit - Kies lists the current firmware version as PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPC / CSC:JPC (KOR). Something tells me I have the wrong country firmware. If anyone can provide a link to the correct one and the Odin settings I should use it would be greatly appreciated.
Still trying to get a solution to this and have noticed that my product code in Kies registry entry is GT-I9000HKDKOR. I am wondering if this is because I used a wrong CSC file?
Any directions would be very welcome.
Thanks
Go to www.samfirmware.com and grab the Europe/UK firmware. Get a 2.2.1. one. All the CSC, Phone, Modem files should be in the package.
Thanks snapper.fishes. I am now downloading I9000XXJPU (512.Pit) - hopefully this one is correct as some of the downloads for 2.2.1 show (803.Pit). As there are no instructions with this I assume I don't click re-partition. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help
This is almost soul destroying....
I ran the update "I9000XXJPU (512.Pit)" as mentioned above and it flashed successfully. I am now on 2.2.1
Re-plugged in the usb cable and no windows popup to view the sd contents and nothing in "My Computer". Kies recognises something has been plugged in but remains on "connecting" - the phone itself shows the usb graphic and "connected".
I then went into Settings -> About Phone and there is no USB Settings option.
And just to rub it in I typed in *2767*4387264636# as per the wiki guide on here to view the Product code and it's still on Korea GT-I9000HKDKOR.
Edit - Have now tried *#1234# and the phone says:
PDA: I9000XXJPU
PHONE: I9000XXJPU
CSC: I9000OXAJPU
Not even sure if this bit helps
In case this is a help to other novices like me with the wrong product code. I found the following info and you don't need to be rooted to run it:
E.g. Changing CSC to XEU: Note - this will only work if the multiCSC was used when firmware was flashed
Type *#272*IMEI# and select XEU to install. (to check IMEI: *#06#)
Phone will reset to the default setting (perform a backup beforehand if req)
XEU = UK's product code
As for the USB issue (no USB Settings menu option in About Phone), is this just a change in the 2.2.1 menus? I noticed a USB Settings menu in "Wireless and network" and they have changed how this works. Kies still refuses to connect to the phone, but maybe this is just Kies.
Thanks
Jpu firmware is broken with kies. I think from memory that jpy and onwards allows that connection.
Jpu wasn't considered a official firmware but it worked incredibly well.bar the kies problem.

Me Too!!
I'm getting the same error the op did.
What happened? I flashed CM7 and it worked fine. I then decided to do a restore with the backup I had made earlier with CWM, this is when **** went wrong. Couldn't boot up after this or get to recovery. Went into download mode and tried to reflash factory firmware. JL2 Andriod 2.2 for Bell Canada I9000. Says successful but just boots to 3e recovery with " /dev/block/st110, (Invalid argument), E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: "
Below that it says: " your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy default media content failed.
My biggest fear is the dreaded Int.SD card failure, the op gave me hope but same thing after every reflash.
Any suggestion?
I also have a Bell I9000M that did that. After attempting several combinations what ended up working for me was flashing JPU with 512.pit and repartition enabled, modem, PDA and CSC all selected in odin 1.3. That got me a working device. Then flashed JH2 to get recovery 2e back. Then flashed to the ROM I was originally on (Darky's 9.3). After that I flashed a CWM zip for the JL2 modem to get data back.

Also very important, for JH2 I did PDA only. No pit, no repartition.

Dude you totally saved my bacon. I was dreading the possibility of having to go to Bell. Totally worked, though coolirs media or something keeps force closing but at least the phone is working. Just gonna flash cm7 now since I have to start from scratch anyway.
Thanks again!

Thanks icejagans. Its a relief to know that this is just an incompatibiliy between kies and the JPU firmware. Do you know if there has been an official 2.2.1 firmware available via Kies for UK unbranded I9000s?
Edit - icejagans you're a star, the JPY update fixed the USB oddity I was having and even Kies now connects OK. I will mark this thread as solved.
Thanks for everyones help
Hi,
I have the same problem, Can´t mount /dev/block/stl10
My phone is Gt-i9000 Made in Korea i9000gsmh
I don´t know what stock from is factory rom for my phone.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
I bought 2 unlocked i9000T's . I've kept one with 2.1 and have been waiting for the official 2.2.1 release via KIES which is now available.
My other unit was updated to 2.2.1 with the Registry Hack. What's the best way to get my Hacked i9000T back to factory so it can take updates as they roll out?
I've looked for the i9000TUBJP9 firmware to load via ODIN but no luck. I use ODIN on my TAB.
Any help would be great.
The i9000T is the latin america version.
thanks
The latin american version is the i9000b
You can get 2.2.1 by either flashing it directly with odin or flashing back to an older stock and then updating with kies

GT-I9000T need stock firmware
I have 2 of these phones. Part # GT-I9000T . One has been updated to 2.2.1 via KIES to I9000TUBJP9.The other phone was Flashed with Euro 2.2.1 rom. What's the best way to get the I9000T back to stock. I can't locate the I9000T firmware on Samfirmware.
Just need the download link and will use ODIN
thanks

You should be able to go back using kies 1.5 and kies patcher. Then you would go to Kies 2 to get the latest update. If this doesnt work for you I have an old eclair that I think should work with this phone, you can use that as a base to jump to the latest version.
btw could you please post the modem that came with the update? It´s easy, on the phone you already update you download Terminal emulator then in the program enter:
Code:
dd if=/dev/block/bml12 of=/sdcard/bml12
This will copy the modem to the sdcard. Á lot of people will apreciate it! let us know how it goes.
I downloaded terminal emulator on the 2.2.1 i9000TUBJP9 phone and the command gives me an error:
cannot open for read: no such file or directory.
Does it require root? Since this is a new & stock phone was not planning to root it. I will root my 2.1 once I get it upgraded to JP9
The 2.1 Eclair version I'm running again is.
Baseband:
I9000TUBJH1
If you have a different i9000T firmware to try with ODIN that would be great. The older version of Kies 1.5 patcher did not work. I tried all if the i9000TUB settings CWW, PCW, TTT, and several more.
Once I get this phone to the version as my stock 2.2.1 I'll root it and get the modem file - no problem.
Are you sure you typed it correctly? I was under the impression it did NOT require root. I´ve done it on mine but Im rooted. Special attention to bml12, thats B-M-L-1-2 (just in case)
I dont have the rom around in this machine but luckily I saved the download link
I900T
I think this is exactly what you´re looking for.
If possible when you are upgrading the phone via kies you can try to save the entire rom. There are instructions in the kies patcher thread in the first post on how to do it. But the modem at least would be great.
Good luck.
Any luck?

Thanks for the link, but that's the same file I have here and loaded on the phone. KIES 1.5 won't update it. It's been Pretty frustrating. I'm not sure what KIES is looking for.
You need kies 2. Install the latest version. Kies looks at your product code and current firmware version. Make sure toi change your csc region to TTT also just in case.
To change your csc in 2.1 enter *#272*hhmm# where hh and mm is current time of phone. Change to TTT. Beware this will reset your phone.
If you need more help let me know.

If all else fails you can try spooffw, you can find it in the forums. But you can try what i posted above first. To add to that nake sure kies is reporting your product code to be TTT.
Good luck.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No luck yet.
Changed product code to TTT using the *#272*HHMM# method.
Using KIES 2.0.0.11033_25 and no luck
Tried the 1.8 patcher and set to TTT which spoofs PDA:JG5/ PHONE:JG7/CSC:JG4 (TTT)
Is there anything on the phone to reset. I tried factory reset under the Security option.
What product code does kies say you have? The code i gave does not change the hw product code, just CSC region code.
Patcher 1.8 wont help you, disable it.

If this isnt working i think you have a 2 options. 1. Try spooffw or 2. Root both phones. Backup efs folder of the 2.1 phone. Make nandroid backups of both phones. Then restore nandroid backup from your updated phone to the other. I believe this would work.

I have done the Spooffw which works great for all other firmware than TTT. There are no i9000T codes on it.
The Spooffw is a very cool and easy way to do this - just need the i9000T codes.

Product Code: GT-I9000HKTTTT
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUBJG4
I'll work on it today again. No problem getting the phone to Euro firmware XEU. KIES updates it no problem. Tested it on several different compters and KIES was no problem. The SPOOFFW method does work. It would be great to have him add the I9000HKTTTT.
Here's the codes I tried to enter inthe SPOOFFW manually:
Product code GT-I9000HKTTTT
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4
The SPOOFFW will accept the info , but KIES never connects to update - The phone won't connect as it should. If you leave it on long enough, it will connect with no firmware info.
This made me think that SPOOFFW had additional data in it's preset info.
I'll keep trying for the I9000T TTT
After you spoof check that everything is set with *#1234#
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Yes I checked with *#1234# and it checks out.
It's more an issue of connecting to KIES after it changes the Productcode to HKTTTT.
Here's my steps:
Check Productcode is:
I9000HKTTT
Manually enter:
PDA: I9000TUBJG5
Press OK
Reboot
Manually enter :
PHONE: I9000TUBJG7
CSC: I9000TUUBJG4 (I don't think it's I9000TUBJG4 - I think there are 2 "UU"
Press Home key
Connect to KIES
Phone tries to connect, just says Connecting.....
I wait 2 minutes. Sometimes phone will mount after 2 minutes but Firmware areas is blank.
I go into RegEdit and delete DB Folder info and connect to KIES again. Same result. Makes no difference if I quit KIES and delete the DB folder or do it live.
I'm running KIES on a few computers so I can uninstall and check on various things with the install.
If I delete everything and use one of supplied Presets with SPOOF FW , then everything works fine.
It's almost like the i9000HKTTTT and PDA, Phone, and CSC are not matching and KIES gets lost and is not sure how to proceed.
For the csc im opretty sure its 1 U
Before deleting DB i would shut down kies and disconnect phone.
Also in pretty sure it makes no difference if its a preset or not

Hi
I'm helping out a friend, and we are having some troubles being able to update via Kies.
In Kies, the firmware is listed as: (blank field/none)
And we get the message "no update available"
1. USB debugging is disabled (tried enabling)
2. Tried editing Regedit
http://getandroidstuff.com/tutorial-force-kies-update-samsung-galaxy-regedit-guide/
3. Tried flashing pit, PDA, modem and CSC that are corresponding to eachother.
XXJPU from here:
http://www.samsunggalaxysforum.com/...cial)(firmwares)galaxy-s-i9000-download-only/
4. Tried hard reset
Nothing seems to work. Are the any edits in the above shown tutorials which could lead to succes?
It has taking quite a lot of time and searching and googling, and we are close to giving up. We are 2 android well experienced android users, one of use mobile supporter, and we can't get it to work. All of our experience combined, didn't fix the problem.
What to do?
Thanks in advance
Why do you want to upgrade via kies??? Just use Odin to go to whatever firmware you want... what are you running now?

Because the owner don't feel safe using Odin and want's the function to be working.
Running stock 2.2.1 XXJPY now
We tried flashing different ROM's via Odin
Kies updates official firmware that came with the phone .
You have flashed stock firmware Kies cannot update that .
Only update path is now via Odin .
You can try spoof firmware to correct product details .
http://www.appbrain.com/app/spooffw/com.johnan.spooffw
Other question is are you trying to upgrade too a firmware that does not exist
that is 2.2.1 is the very very very latest firmware .
Gingerbread 2.3 has not been released by Samsung yet .
jje
The problem is that the firmware field is left blank...
it doesn't recognize the firmware I guess, but it should be stock 2.2.1 and then it would be able to recognize it, but it doesn't.
Are there any known problems regarding x64 windows?
Will try the spoof, but I think it is the same as altering Regedit
Howcome, Kies can't update that stock firmware we have flashed? the system files should be the same, as of modem, PDA and so on.
Kies spoof method is your only choice .
Stock firmware from samfirmware etc is not the firmware that came with your phone so IDs do not and will not match .
Below an example of legitimate O2 UK firmware ID upgradable by Kies .
Replace that with stock and codes change and fail to match anything on the server .
KIES does not recognize stock firmware .
Stock is not what comes with the phone .

hey guys,
im using roto's rom for 1 month now, but when im connecting with kies
i get the message that my version can't get updated.
i think the problem is my csc.

CSC: JMG (KOR)
i don't know if KOR stands for korea, i guess.
but is there a way that i can get back to stock CSC?
im using the SGT: P1000 euro model.
thanx in advance
Just flash a stock rom via Odin and you're good. Then connect to PC and update with Kies.

But im sure when 2.3 GingGerbread comes i'm able to get it with kies.
Good Luck!

kids says device software not supported for update
Hi all,
I don't think this is hijacking...seems similar problem.
I flashed to ICS before it was released, now want to update to official version via kies...so I flashed to this with odin (downloaded from samfirmware.com)
PDA: i9100BOKK1
PHONE: i9100BOKJ1
CSC: i9100TMUKK1
But when I connect to kies it still says the 'device software does not support updating via kies'. I've tried flashing lots of other gingerbread firmwares from samfirmwares.com (need gingerbread so kies detects it needs updating). Really stuck now. How do i find which original stock firmware to flash to get dues to update? Tried the list on xda but still cqn't get it to allow an update. Is there something else that can cause kies to give that error, or is it definitely that I've got the wrong stock firmware? If so, is there a sure fire way to get the right one? I've tried the xda branded firmware list, that's where I got the link for this firmware above. Please help!
Wrong IMEI --> no Update
Check your IMEI (*#06#). Do you have your original number or is it changed to 004999010440000?
When I didn't succeed with OTA/Kies-Updates I found that the "developer IMEI" was the reason.
