So I rooted my Galaxy s(bell) and put speedmod kernel on it, I then tried to install a theme which partially worked but now I get "the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" every few seconds and any time I try to do something I was unable to do anything at all really. So I then installed dark core kernel and that did not change anything, I restored to factory default and that did not stop the error(Even though all data was wiped). So I then formatted system under dark core recovery(Bad idea?) and now I can't get past the Samsung Galaxy 19000M boot screen(Assuming because there is no system files now that I wiped them?). I can access dark core recovery and download mode....What can I do?

The trouble was flashing a theme onto a stock ROM. Unless a ROM has been deodexed it can't be themed, so for themeing you need a custom ROM or one prepared using doc's kitchen. Just swapping a new kernel does not allow you to install a theme. Flash a stock theme in download mode from odin and then start again, you will be fine.
There are lots of guides about how to do that here.

Have you tried factory reset/wipe data in recovery mode? this may not work but worth a try
I keep I9000XXJPU on my PC because it has saved my ass in the past when i bricked my phone, it has all the files required to use in odin to flash. just get into download mode, open odin, attach files into specified areas, connect phone then start
make sure to look here, follow step and your all good

I flashed my phone with I9000UGJL2 and it goes to recovery and says "Update media, please wait

e:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount DBDATA:

Copy default media content failed.
If I reboot it does not get passed the Galaxy S logo. What is wrong?
Edit: For some reason, after I unsuccessfully flashed 2.1 stock(wouldn't boot past samsung screen) I tried re flashing 2.2 JL2 and it worked phone is now fine.
After you got the message stl10 you need to flash dbdata and that file only it work.

You can't flash a theme over a stock rom
Hello everybody,
first of all: congratulations for this helpful and amazing forum. I love reading and testing the roms which are offered here.
I just tried the Hybrid v 5.0 rom - the best i ever tested. Everything was smoothie and very harmonic.
Unfortunately it was not possible to write emails and to connect with Samsung Kies.
So i decided to use the known 2.3.4 version which works satisfiying.
To prepare the phone i made a wipe data/factory reset.
After reseting the phone shows me - when turned on and booting - the logo of Galaxian Kernel and the blue "loading beam" with the notice "is loading now."
But it doesnt quit loading.
The cwm shows me:
"E: can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E: can't mount /cache recovery/log
E: can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: unknown volume for path [cache/recovery/last_log]
....
"
Maybe some important datas are erased?
I really don't know what to do now.
Could you please give me some helpful advices (please use the easiest words because i'm no expert...) ?

For connecting kies you just have to install one patch, it will connect.
Regarding resetting, some files i deleted for utilizing space, which required for factory reset thats why you getting that.
let me explain why i delete that files, see when someone switch ROM ever developer want that user do fresh install but usualy people are lazy so they simply flash rom on other ROM, by deleting that files i conform that if someone want to change ROM then he had to flash first stock rom then other ROM so atleast he didnt got error or didnt able to claim that he coming from that ROM and so he getting this error.
btw for both issue why didnt u asked for patch, its easy task for me to make cwm for that and you able to connect kies and able to do factory reset.
Thank you very much for your fast answer.
i didn't thought about asking, sorry..
That's right. Before flashing your great rom i used the clear 2.3.4 firmware. I did the whole procedure as described here. Use a stock rom and than the other rom.
What could i do right now?
My phone doesn's start. "is loading now... " is written under the logo of Galaxian Kernel. The phone doesn't boot, isn't known by the PC, so i don't know what to do....
Boot to recovery and try wipe almost everything you can, factory reset, cache, dalvik-cache.
I remember one firmware gave me some errors about mounting and wiping stuff always fixed it.
I tried as you proposed but following message appears:
E: unknown volume for path [/data]
...
E: Unable process volume! Skipping...
Checking /cache...
Doesn't that mean that the necessary datas aren't there?
After wiping of all proposed things i tried to restart, but the blue beam under Galaxian still stops when it almost reached the end.
The main problem was Kies.
Phone couldn't be connected, so i couldn't fix the problem.
I just had to update the drivers so that the PC could connect to my little friend. Now it works
Thanks a lot for your help!!
Hi,
I've got the exact same problem.
Tried to flash Galaxian over Odin because my phone was in a boot loop. Then it just stuck when the Galaxian kernel "is now loading" screen appeared.
I can access Recovery and wiped data aswell as cache partition- then I just tried to flash Galaxian a second time with Odin but I have the same problem with the "is now loading" screen now.
Plus I updated Kies drivers.
What can I do? Im really not that experienced but I really NEED my phone!
Hey,
A friend gave me his Galaxy S after another friend of him got it into this following state (I'm not sure what exactly he did or tried to do):
The phone is stuck in a boot loop, sometimes it shows the first frame of the boot animation for a second before booting again. When I start it in recovery mode (Android System Recovery (3e)) I get this error messages:
Code:
-- Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu
for format and reboot actions
The phone does not have an SD card in it.
After reflashing with the same firmware as original, I get these errors:
Code:
-- Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu
for format and reboot actions
meida files copy failed.
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.
I've tried flashing different firmwares too, including rooted ones, and the results were the same except for a case where the first error was about not being about to mount mmcblk0p1 instead of sdcard, and another case where another firmware cause the phone to appear to boot, but after a minute or too it got stuck on a black screen and stopped responding.
I followed many different guides on how to fix similar problems, but none of them actually worked.
Please help, thanks a loooot in advance.

Maybe it will help?
Thanks for the reply. Solutions 1-3 are irrelevant, as I can get into download mode, but even after flashing, any version, the problem is still there. I tried solution 4 (dbdata flash), but it doesn't solve anything. Are there any other partitions I can flash and might be able to solve this?
Ok, next thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1069867
Maybe here is solution?
Tried flashing the files there and no luck, still the same error. =/
I sent Faria, who said he has tools for solving this problem in that topic a PM, hopefully he'll share his tools with the community.
Meanwhile, I don't mind trying different solutions.
I also noticed something – if I keep the phone in the boot loop for a long time, it will eventually get to either a loop of the carrier boot animation (Which normally doesn't loop), or actually boot for one time. (When it booted I tried to power it off and see if it would boot again normally, and it didn't =/)
i have this kind of error few months ago, what i do was, flash pit file only with repartition, then flash pda, phone & csc.... agn flash this dbdata.rfs file, should fix the issue.
Just tried it, no luck, exactly the same error as before. =/
ops... sorry to heard that, at least it work for me but too bad not for u.....
I have the exact same error message and problem . Really hope someone can find a fix for this because I've spent hours and hours
Yep, EXACTLY same problem as OP and NO fixes for me yet. Tried everything from this thread and other threads. Let's see who's the real king of knowledge who can fix this.
any luck with this issue?
In my case it was solved by Click, but as in thread: for some people it works with repartition, while for some - without.
Or, try it Here I'd pay attention to page 2, Darky's resurrection... maybe looking for newer version at Darkyrom.

Someone found any fix for this?
Yep!
Hi guys!
Yep - probably I found the solution. One month ago I have bought i9000 with this problem (as broken). Finally I managed to start that SGS and even install ICS on it. The problem is (as I suppose) that internal flash memory is broken and You have to move /data partition to external SD card. So some flashes, some changes in files and repartitioning of SD card does the thing.
Currenty I am in the middle of preparing a tutorial to be pushed on YT to show how I managed to solve the problem. Stay tuned
Best regards
this is a hope.. =)=)=) please send me a tutorial. thanks
Ready
So.
Finally I had some time to add voice recording to my movie and volia - is ready.
I hope it will help at least somehow.
I am not sure if this manual will help in Your case(s), but it might be at least a hint
Best regards
Fteller.
^ So, umm, where's the link for your YT video? Thanks.
I had experiencing a problem with my SGS I9000 wherein I could not completely delete anything that had been installed on my phones internal memory... be it applications \ videos \ images \ etc ... I say completely because it did used to tell me that the contents have been deleted when done in KIES and when I had done a factory reset \ formatted my storage... But the contents kept reappearing everytime my phone started up again... Tired of this I decided to flash my phone using Odin3.
My Phone's specs at that time were (had updated to Gingerbread fro Froyo through Kies):
PDA: I9000DDJV6
Phone: I9000DDJV4
CSC: I9000ODDJV6
Now, I've tried flashing using multiple firmware versions... started with the stock DDJV6 version I found here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 ... and followed all instructions on how to use Odin while flashing using PIT 512...
This sent my phone first into a continual boot cycle... I was able to get into the Download Mode again after a few attempts and then, I tried flashing again with the Gingerbread firmware 2.3.3 given here
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-stable-gingerbread-xxjvk/ ...
and when that failed too... I also tried Gingerbread version 2.3.5 .. which was given here...
http://androidadvices.com/update-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-xxjvs-gingerbread-235-firmware/3/
Now, I problem I face is... though am able to flash the rom, I keep getting a whole bunch of Force Close error messages when the phones boots up...
(I've attached some images of the error message I am getting...)
I read somewhere that should be getting the standard setup options such as the Google registration page and language options once the flashing is completed... but I don't get that page at all... I just keep getting error messages as the phone reboots!
I've also restarted the phone in Recovery mode (Vol Up + Home + Power) to delete cache files and stuff... but that doesn't help either... I can't seem to understand what step am I missing... I must have tried flashing my phone like a dozen times since yesterday but the problem persists...
I would appreciate if you all could help me out of this problem.
Regards,
Vishal
and if it helps, all data including the Apps and other stuff continute to stay on my phone and haven't been deleted... I had checked 'Re-Partition' in Odin3 hoping it would reformat the storage.
I have the same issue! Stuffed if i can find the solution anywhere... Ill keep an eye and ear out though and if i find a fix elsewhere ill let u know here.
Maybe a silly idea but have you tried another a version above odin 1.3? there is 1.7 and 1.8...
Also another silly thing.. You say you can flash the rom's, does that mean you have custom recovery and tried wipe from there as well...
Go into recovery and do a factory reset.. if u haven't already
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA Premium App
Factory reset from recovery menu didn't work for me. Appears to say/do all the right things in the yellow text, but end result is exactly the same as it was. Will try higher Odin versions tonight.
Re:
Thanks for your response everyone.
The Reset option doesn't work for me either... Tried this through the 'Privacy' menu ... as well as getting into the Recovery Mode using the Vol Up + Menu + Start button combination... Please let me know if I've missed any other way to factory reset\wipe the data...
Odin versions... I've used the older version (1.3?) as well as 1.7 ... have also tried using pit 803... but to no avail...
The fact that I can't delete any content on the internal storage drive may mean that it might have got corrupted and may need a replacement?
I am new to this and hence might sound like a noob but I appreciate your patience...
Everyone starts as a noob or beginner, so there are no silly questions.
To totally reset your phone and clear everything off of it you can use the dialer code *2767*3855# : this will delete everything that has been added from your side, including all of your files!
BUT : you should be aware that the formatting starts immediately after you type in the last '#' without getting asked if you really want to wipe everything, so be careful.
Same here; Odin 1.7 didn't alter result. Nor does entering reset code in dialler...
Re:
The other day, I tried to flash the stock rom using the PDA file only... The procedure I followed was... Opened Odin, added PIT 512 and checked Re-Partition, added the DDJV6 PDA file... Hit Start... The process completed and as my phone rebooted again, it went into Recovery and threw up the following error messages:
E: copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /cache your storage not prepared yet.
E: failed to mount /cache (Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
E: copy_kernel_file :: Can't open /cache/recovery/recovery_kernel_log
Upon clicking 'wipe data/factory reset'
E: format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Does this indicate something?
And, I do keep getting the force close error messages as well... and some of them are for applications like Titanium Backup and Read It Later... which have already been uninstalled .. but they still seem to exist in the phone's memory...
No idea if this will work but I was recently guided to this thread and it maybe of help to you because it says that it brings you back to a proper base... read the last 5 pages as this is usually recommended in long threads and obviously the whole of the first page. The thread I mean is the one where it says efs recovery below
Re:
Thanks Talon, I will surely try this out!
There's a guy who had a similar problem as mine and he seemed to have solved it by flashing EZBase-4.0.7z ... so perhaps it might help me as well... currently on download... will let you know how it went!
Re:
Flashing with EZBase hasn't got rid of the Force Close error messages... I get tonnes of them... for almost everything from android.phone to even applications which I had uninstalled several times but they just mysteriously come back .... everytime I flash...
Do I need to get root access before I can perform a clean flash... as in, with no force close messages?

Okay, will download the EzBase froyo version and try flashing that...
As an aside, would you please list the reasons why these force close messages usually pop up? May be I will be able to link my problem to any one of them and then perhaps spot what the root problem could be?
To quote my original problem... To I am unable to fully uninstall the applications which I had installed on my USB storage card... They come back... but most are not functional... I get force close error messages when I try to open them...
And now, am getting force close every time I flash ...
Thanks spamtrash! I will try doing that first... and then perhaps try flashing with EZBase Froyo...
Re:
Okay, so I tried flashing this time using EZBase 2.0 (Froyo version)... and though there were no errors in the Recovery Mode... the force close error messages did come up when the setup wizard is supposed to open... (
Is that some drivers on my phone have not been installed properly which causes these messages to pop up?
I once got an error message saying "Samsung Android" had failed to install ... but when I checked my Device Manager (Win 7)... the ADB Interface was green and installed properly... ??

Very ironic,but i came here to ask about rooting my phone a year back and now i'm back in sort of the same situation..
A year back I rooted my froyo 2.2.1 based Galaxy S to a gingerbread version,then i used quite a few of the ICS roms available on this forum,had been using Cyanogen for the past few months.Yesterday i had some free time,so i thought would check out the JB roms available.
So i did the usual,download the JB version of Fishears since i had a iNand.put it in my internal sdcard..but i could not access the memory card from CWM 5.0.2.7..,so i put it in my external memory card and tried to run the zip from there,but the process got aborted in the middle,tried it twice,dint work.
Then i remembered i had faced this internal memory problem before,had to go and switch on the debugging mode in the developer option.[P.S:- i had been facing the encryption successful problem for half a year,was too lazy/busy to fix it,i just took it in my stride and rebooted a lot to get into the homepage]
So,I'm in CWM and i run the usual process and run the zip file from the internal sdcard,it started out fine,them BOOM.my phone reboots all of a sudden.When it restarts,it does not have a OS to boot into,the green android image with a red exclamation mark and a few text appears which happens too fast to read and it keeps rebooting and this process goes on.
I can still access CWM and the download mode,i tried going into CWM but the internal sd doesnt open and the zip file fails to mount from the external sd.
So i thought **** it,i'll do the rooting part again and i run up ODIN,download the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel,and i see it is just 15 mb or so,i remembered i used more than 1 file and used the pit folder also,but i read it on the semaphore website,its only 1 file and have to use it as the PDA.went to download mode and odin recognised it and the process completed without a hitch,it even showed a green PASS..
but the problem came when it had to reboot after the process,it got stuck in the "Galaxy S GT I9000" page and never moved forward.it was there for 30 minutes or so before i pulled out the battery.
Basically
1.I cant get past that page
2.I can access the CWM and Download modes
3.I accepted my mistake and thought of not doing any more mistakes,so icame here
4.When i boot into CWM mode,these errors come

I had this problem with Paranoid Android before... the zip was corrupt.
If you are able to extract the rom with winrar/winzip/totalcmd or other program, install it, if it is corrupt, download it again again and again...

New developments now
I followed the steps given in the EZ recovery mode,it crashed into the same e3 recovery mode,for the heck of it i flashed the CFROOT which was provided and it worked fine..all disks were mounted fine and no errors in cwm,
went into Mounts and storage and formatted everything apart from boot and followed the rest of samtans advice
It crashed into the same e3 Rec mode again with the same meta data error message
any suggestions guys,atleast now i'm hopeful after seeing that CWM screen without any errors

Ok dont know whether this is good or bad
I installed CM9 from the external sd as the internal sd was inaccesible in any way..the installation showed info like
"the internal sd card marker could not be found
Going ahead with installation"
the installation continues and restarts once and updates but it does not boot into the main page,it directly goes into the Encryption Unsuccessful page.When i try Reset Phone,it goes into the CWM recovery screen with some errors,
when i try to install CM10 from this recvery screen,it initially stops the installation saying the data partition layout is different and all my data will be wiped.run the .zip to go ahead with the progress.I run this it goes directly into the CWM 6.0._._ and it doesnt show any errors,i try to reboot it gets stuck on the galaxy s screen.
this situation is better than the previous condition as i know a OS can still run on my Phone..Just need to get this thing rectified now
Please if anyone could help me right now,i would be really grateful..not able to contact anyone without my phone
It might be a hardware problem... I had something similar
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1895224
But for now go to Ez recovery and then try Darky's Resuruction ROM.

I installed Cyanogen 9 and got through tht EU page by restarting abut 20 times or so,now i'm trying to install a working version of gapps in it.Tried 1 but the setup failed,so i flashed back to Cyanogen 9 and am not touching it till i reach home.a device capable of making and taking calls is better than nothing..
Is there a way to download contacts from gmail without gapps,the play store is not included in the original rom and i'm hesitant to go into CWM recovery mode as i will have to tackle the EU page again
Anyways thanks for your help,will have to fix this problem once and for all after i reach home
I don't know about contacts from gmail. When you're home look at my updated post above
