I'm not sure what I've done, but I obviously wasn't paying attention. I had RyanZA's 2.3 beta lagfix installed and I decided to uninstall it using the supplied script. At some point I saw my phone reboot and I thought it had finished, but I don't really remember what happened after that.
Anyway, I've got it to the stage where it just shows the i9000 startup screen, goes black, then shows the i9000 screen again. I can get into recovery and I've got clockwork recovery installed as well, so I can get into that. I've used adb, but I can't get a log of it booting because it just says waiting for device and never gets past that stage. I used adb shell to see if I could manually process the scripts, but it looks like all the data and the backups of the data folders are gone.
I've wiped data in both clockwork and stock recovery, but I still can't get the phone to boot. System still looks ok, so I'm not sure why it's not working.
Anyway, my main question is, how can I get my phone back up and running? The mount usb option doesn't seem to be working, so I guess I'll have to use Odin or KIES, but what do I flash? Is there a link for a stock UK i9000 firmware somewhere?
Update:
Ok, I've got the phone working again, but after using Odin to flash the firmware, it reboots into recovery and I get the message can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
The phone boots ok, but I can't download anything from the market ("download unsuccessful" almost immediately)
Internet works fine, so I don't think that's the problem.
Further update:
After Odin has flashed, the phone boots into recovery with the following messages:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
update media, please wait ...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
This was after flashing WJM6 with .513 pit
You can try this...connect your phone with KIES and update it with the official firmware. I have not tried this so I dont know if it will help you.
Thanks, I eventually got it to work by flashing the WJG5 firmware. It would probably help if I'd known what it was actually running in the first place.
Now I've got it working though, I might try connecting to KIES and seeing if there's an updated version.
hey there, is this resolved? i got mine working after
can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
but its still there. Do u know how to clean this error?
Update: I Fixed it by reflashing to WJG5 as stated above. BUT when i tryed reflashing with newer rom its still there..

Hello
I had the same and i solved through the guide here:

But i think the problem really was that i have make an ext2 partition on sd-card.
I removed the sd-card during flashing.
Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help for a mate of mine who can't get his Samsung Galaxy S to start up.
The phone is box standard from Vodafone and only a couple of months old. It hasn't been rooted or tampered with in any way.
Today he decided to plug it into kies to check for updates and it showed him that there was an update available for his phone. he followed the on screen prompts and went about updating it. After it updated the phone just died on him. I have spoke to him over the phone to try and explain the 3 button recovery method to him but he still can't get it to boot up. He has sent me a photo of his phone so hopefully that may help for any potential advice. I'm no phone expert but could easily follow any instructions/ guides on flashing etc.
Any advice or help would be most grateful
Cheers, Sean
Pull out the usb cord.

If the phone can enter download mode, it can be rescued. Otherwise, it was definitely bricked.

Try to pull out the battery for 10 minutes. Then but the batteri back.
Then try to get in download mode.
If you can't, the try to see if odin see it.
If odin can see it try to flash back original firmware.
If you are lucky it can work.
If not then it seems very bad.

Thanks Damian, I will pass this info on to him tomorrow. I wish my mate lived closer so I could have a go at it myself.
i do have the exact same problem but flashing JM8 doesn't solve it.
in odin 1.3 with re-partition enabled I used s1_odin_20100512.pit, CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5 as PDA and MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 as phone
on startup I still get "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (Invalid argument)"
any ideas please?

Why dont you flash crc also?
Try to do a complete flash.
Then go in recovery more and do wipe catch and a factory reset.
If you manage to get it to boot do format your internal sdcard.

Have you tried to put in pit file and checked repartition? this will wipe the phone

Yes.
ODIN 1.7 (windows 7)
Checked Re-Partition
PIT file : P1_and_Hidden.pit
PDA : JME.tar (download from fus.samsung)
does it need csc and phone file or other pda file?

I would try using Roto-JMEv4 FULL. Use the P1_and_Hidden.pit and flash that together with repartition ON. That JME.tar I think is incomplete. My friend tried it before and it crapped out on him. After which, clear the cache and factory reset from Recovery mode to make sure everything is clean during boot.

Have you tried flashing Paul O'Brians rfs kernal and then flashing one of the other roms. As the kernal you have installed/flashed is ext 4 only. You need his rfs kernal to auto convert back to rfs. He links to it in his kernal post.
Hope this helps
Phil

Do you know how to go RFS stock rom from EXT4 on I9000?
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.

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.
hi everyone...
desperately need help about my sgs...
i had js8 froyo and speedmod kernel 13 on my sgs.
i decided to go on gingerbread and install jvh with odin 512 pit re-part. checked
after that my tel didnt respond and on recovery mode it says
update media plesa wait
cant mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
e:copy_dbdatamedia:cant mount dbdata
your storage not prepared yet.please use UI menu for format and reboot action
copy default media content failed
recovery turned 3e btw.
i completely dont know what went wrong.
Need help!
Thank you
You have a gingerbread bootloader installed?
Any active lagfixes?
I had a similar issue after moving from cm7 back to stock-rom. This worked for me:
* flash only the .pit (no pda) with repartition ticked.
* go to downloadmode again and flash the rest (without repartition ticked).
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
