Hi guys,
A few days ago I made the silly mistake of trying a new rom without first disabling the lagfix. I didn't realise what the problem was straight away so I tried factory reset and wiping cache and dalvik with no luck. I booted to 2e recovery to do the wipes.
I have since been trying to flash a new rom with Odin but am constantly getting stuck on cache.rfs. I have been reading through posts for days and tried every fix I could find with no luck. All ports, different computers, different OS but no luck!
I don't know a lot about flashing or Android so I'm wondering if I'm doing it wrong, or maybe I have the wrong files or something.
PIT: s1_odin_20100512.pit
PDA: CODE_I9000XWJM9.tar.md5
PHONE: MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5
CSC: CSC_I9000XSAJP4.tar = Australian unbranded CSC
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=856072
I have been doing some reading on the CSC and I'm wondering if it is incompatible or something which might not be letting it load. I don't know the original CSC major version because I didn't check before I broke my phone.
Is it possible that I am using the wrong major version or something?
I've been 4 days now without my galaxy and I'm starting to get desperate.
Can anyone confirm that I'm doing the flashing right/wrong? Maybe offer a suggestion on something else to try?
thanks guys

I know this might be a no brainer, but back when I wasn't as clued up about flashing as I am now. I too kept getting stuck at this while using Odin when I forgot to disable lag fix. After googling I managed to find a solution to my problem and it was very simple yet effective. All I had to do was set odin to run as Windows XP in compatibility mode and run as admin. I never thought it would work but it did, maybe it will work for you...
Hope you get this sorted mate.
PaulForde: Can you confirm that I am flashing the right way? Do you think it's possible I have the wrong CSC file?
WTF!?!?!?! I tried get into the error message screen again and the phone booted up this time... and it works!!!!!!!
Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.1 update 1
Baseband: I9000XXJM4
Kernel version: [email protected] #2
Build number: ECLAIR.XWJM8
What does this mean? Did the Odin flash actually work???????????????
Just checked the internal sd card and all the files are still there. Can anyone shed some light on what has happened?
Are you cheking the "Re-Partition" option when flashing with Odin? I think this option should solve the problem when you forget to disable lagfixes...
Yes I have checked this box but because Odin never gets passed cache.rfs it has never actually finished the process. I have had to pull the battery every time.
What does this mean for my file system? would it still be formatted as ext4 or rfs?
Originally when I installed the custom rom without disabling the lag fix I had tried to apply the lag fix on top of what was already there and this is when all the problems started.
I just tried to flash a different firmware and can confirm that it is changing, yet it is still hanging up at cache.rfs.
Can anyone confirm what will happen if I check the repartition box without having a CSC file? I don't want to make this any worse...
Hey, I'm having the exact problem as you and yes I forgot to disable lagfix But oding is not helping me at all. When I try flashing my phone it actually goes all the way to the green "pass" but after when it reboots I get the error about the sd card not mounting. Any help?
My phone is finally working again but it's probably not 100%
The reason Odin would hang at cache.rfs for me was the CSC file I was using. I googled the errors I was getting on startup of my SGS (shown above) and they turned out to be minor. Simply hitting 'reboot' got my phone to start up! But there were a few problems once it was up like not being able to download apps from the market.
When my phone started up I did the *#1234# and found my CSC to be XEE so I downloaded that and tried to flash with it using Odin and it worked However it wouldn't do the repartition which was annoying.
I'm not game to try and reapply a lagfix and see if my system is back to normal since it all seems to be working now
i'm having the same problem odin is flashin fine getting all the way to complete but when it reboots the phone it gets stuck saying cant mount dev.....blah same as the rest. if i pull the battery and try rebooting i get past the s screen but just stops at a black screen and vibrates every now and then. help me
This one sounds a bit different to my problem. Odin wouldn't flash in my case, which was the problem

Hi,
I flashed the Pre rooted JP3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748131 and then installed the [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 2.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751864
I used the phone for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden everything kept crashing.
I booted into the clockwork recovery and reset to factory and then was not able to boot.
I tried flashing back to I9000UGJH2 with Pit512 and Odin and after it flashes successfully the phone starts I see the galaxy S I9000 and then it shows me a grey battery sign and then a busy circle sign and then gray battery and keeps repeating.
When I boot without the usb cable it shows me the Galaxy I9000m sign and then just turns off.
When I tried reflashing the JP3 from the site above and after it finishes it comes to the Android System Recovery <3e> and displays the following message:
Update Media please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed.
When I boot it moves past the Galaxy I9000m screen shows me the galaxy screen with animation and sound, the screen then goes of leaving me with a black screen and the buttons lit.
I cannot format the internal SD card and I cannot seem to get the hone to boot into android, I can boot into downloader.
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I have ticked the repartition option in Odin
Odin should theoretically work. I've never clicked repartition myself however a lot of people do seem to recommend it.
If you're out of things to try and you want to give the latest (not publicly released) version of Heimdall (my Odin flashing software alternative) a go let me know and I'll PM you the download link.
That gray battery with a spinning circle sounds like the charging screen when the phone is off. Have you tried and let it charge up over night?
The battery is full.
I managed to get the I9000UGJH2 rom up and running by inserting an external sd card.
But here are some issues:
Once booted neither of the SD cards are recognized
If I power down / reboot phone, it will not start again, it shows the I9000m screen and turns off.
I suspect whatever the one click lag did to my SD cards needs to be reversed.
Ok,
So after tonnes of playing around with the device. I can confirm that it has something to do with he internal SD card.
I need to somehow format the entire internal SD card so that even Odin can see it. I tried using the stock recovery and clockworks with no luck.
It just wont see the card.
Any suggestions?
Phone won't reboot ODIN says PASS, Frozen on Galaxy S home screen
I first installed JP2 and was able to get it working. Then I made an attempt to install JP3 but it didn't work. My phone screen kept on flashing i.e. off and on. I then went back and tried to install JP2. While I was installing it, I got an error message saying unable to mount sd card (similar to what rumy got). I am in the exact scenario as rumy and now i don't know what to do. It's a brand new phone and I am very scared.
Any ideas on what I can do now. I am installing JH2 as I write. Hopefully, that will work.
Please help me if someone knows how to get out of this situation.
thanks

Well, I am still trying but no luck.
We need an adb expert / odin one to help us somehow repartition the internal sd card I think.
I believe with the lagfix on jp3 it got repartitioned and then corrupted.
I also think we should start adventuring outside this device as there might be more senior trouble shooters / experts who own other htc devices that might be able to help.
I used to get this on my htc dream try going back to original firmware the only I found it to work was rip a rom to pieces get misc.img then enter console via recovery and flash_image misc misc.img then something else but cant seem to remember think its mount-o rw,remount -r yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblkop3 /system. dont quote me on this try typing the error into google

The lagfixes do not repartition anything so this is (most likely) an issue that is not related to the lagfix.
Try going back to somthing like JF3 with the 513.pit file and repartition enabled.
The exact same thing happened to me - installed JP3 then lagfix. Phone was unstable after so I tried to reflash via ODIN (with repartition) and no matter what I did I could not successfully reflash my phone or get it to boot.
Only solution - returned it to the store as a DOA and got a replacement device.
Upon further research, it is known that JP3 screws up the internal SDCARD. Marks it as read only or something like that - search google for JP3 sdcard for more details.
Bottom line - your phone is bricked. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
I wonder if this would help fix it.

That installs a different Linux distro underneath android and is totally unrelated! (Not to mention not doable in the state the phone is in)
OT: I don't believe you should give up quite yet. Try flashing a new firmware and afterwards, install Clockwork recovery!
From there you can format your internal SD. You will lose all your data but I strongly believe it will help fix your problem from what I have read here so far!
Edit: I added a warning to the flash guide in my FAQ for I9000M owners for now!
hey try this
Why dont you try to use the odin 1 click downloader over in the captivate forums. I know that we captivate people are running the i9000 firmware with a stock captivate kernal under it. Worth a try.

I'm not sure what you mean. I am pretty sure he used Odin to flash the firmware. I think you are talking about the same program he already is using.
Damn. There are so many known traps out there, yet we don't have a compile of them anywhere. I didn't know that I shouldn't uninstall Google Talk until I actually did it. We need things like this in the FAQ.

"Do not uninstall google talk" is not something you need or want in an faq. It's called a frequently asked questions because they are frequent. I have never before seen someone who tried or even wanted to uninstall google talk (not to mention that this is a goggle os and removing central apps like that is bound to produce problems). And if you mess around with root like that you have only yourself to blame for not doing enough research!

Good idea.
Downloading now will try and post. Fingers Crossed!
OK DONOT TRY THIS!
This made things worse for me.
I lost downloader mode too now all i see is the AT&T screen showing up
Calm down and tell us exactly what you did. It sounds like the initial problems that occurred on early recovery. The download mode should still be reachable. I don't think recovery can completely brick your phone.

The problem is related to the message
Update Media please wait

copy default media content failed.
If you research this error via Google you will find several references to JP3 screwing up the permissions/structure of the internal SDCARD.
I spent several days trying to fix this issue on my phone and no matter what I did (Clockwork or no) I could not get the phone to reset/recognize the SDCARD.
As I said, my only recourse was returning the phone for a replacement. I really hope you find a fix but I think it unlikely.
Hi guys, I recently tried to get the vanilla unlock screen on my HVJH1, it didn't go so well and got to a point where it wouldn't turn on. however i was able to get into download mode and reflash the firmware via odin. it passed and all was successful, however after reboot it displays the opening screen and then once that's done goes black. usually the case would be a pin code unlock screen, however it's just black now with the bottom two buttons lit up. any idea what could've caused this problem and how to repair it?
flashed using hutchison's fw, and .512 pit file.
was using HVJH1, currently on hutchison 3 provider in australia.
also get these errors in recovery mode
"update media, please wait ...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed."
dunno what to do, people have said to leave it because it needs time to re-partition. others say use different pit files, i've downloaded several different .512 just incase ones faulty, and also tried .513, same result.
any help would be much appreciated.
EDIT: Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that i solved the problem. just had to flash to JM9 with .512 repartition, and then flash to HVJH1 without re-partition. from the two flashes i was able to get the necessary files to boot up my SGS. thanks for the help anyways. even though no one commented. lol...
Hey man, thanks for your post... it saved my phone.....

Can anyone tell me what the second reflashing part is?
I'm getting this issue after flashing JS5_JS3_JPY_.tar with .803 pit. Is there a particular reflash I need to do with this version?
Hi all I own an international i9000 (Hong Kong version),
My little woe started like this, I was uninstalling RyanZA's OCLF, when I encountered an error where I couldnt uninstall the ext2 tools. I read somewhere on a fix for it, where I downloaded a app called Mount /system (rw / ro) in which i set the system to RW, and then I was able to uninstall ext2 tools.
Afterwards I tried to install the Voodoo lagfix via odin.
After that, it refused to boot to the load screen (Galaxy S logo) and stayed in the i9000 screen saying restore operation then the device reboots itself.
Out of desperation I reflash my phone with my phone's 2.2 firmware "I9000ZSJPE" but that didn't work either, the first time it boots when I flash the firmware, I get taken to recovery mode, and I get this 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 menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed
No matter how many times I flash the firmware, I keep getting this message...
Is there any way to get my phone up and running again?
Thanks!
Hey, dont panic, its no biggie... this happened to me last week, you need to find a firmware that contains 'dbdata' im unsure which ones do contain it... i know darkys 9.2 Odin version definately has it... thats the rom i used to fix my phone last week.
EDIT: found this.... this should work :
This one is easy to fix so don't panic.
Download this ROM and extract (Odin 1.7 and 512.pit are included), then do as follows:
-Start Odin and load 512.pit, don't connect the phone yet.
-Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked, don't change anything else.
-Load PDA.tar.md5 as PDA, MODEM.tar.md5 as PHONE and CSC.tar.md5 as CSC.
-Put your Phone on download mode and connect it, start flashing.
When flashing is done, the phone will enter recovery mode, if it get stuck at the same error, simply do a wipe/factory reset and reboot the phone, the phone shall boot normally then.

Hi guys,
This is my first post here in the forum, usually i just read other people posts and learn as i go, but this time i already tried everything i can't during 5 days and counting..
I have a CDMA Galaxy Tab from Verizon (sch i800) and wrongly attempted to flash the gt-p1000 gingerbread (2.3.3) version from samfirmware.com with odin to no avail.
Now the tablet screen is always black, no matter what. My pc recognizes the tablet when i connect it and i can even use odin to flash other firmwares, but nothing appears in the screen, not even the samsung logo.
My guess is that, by using the gt-p1000 firmware, odin has repartioned my tablet and altered my boot.bin and sbl.bin with the gt-p1000 version. That's probably why my screen doesn't even turns on.
Does anyone has any clue on how to resolve this (without returning to samsung, of course) ?
Also, can a riff box restore my tablet?
* Good news, i got some progression here.. I reflashed my tablet with odin using the rom "P1000BUJMC" from samfirmware.com, sugested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146712&page=3 .
Now my tablet screen is working again but get's stuck at the samsung logo. During the flash, odin getz stuck in the file movinand too.
When i enter recovery mode, the tablet gives me this error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA:
Anyone knows how to get through this error?
push..
Does anyone know how to solve the error?
Considering I did the same thing, I hope flashing the firmware you linked works
From all the searching I did the error your getting is due to the internal sd card either A Failing or B Corrupt data partition
I had a blk0p1 error that was fixed when I flashed Cyanogen mod to the SCH-I800 but then I got another error and that was blk0p2, so can't win for losing. The only fix I found was to partition your external sd card to be used instead of your internal. There are tutorials around here somewhere../
It's a Sprint Galaxy Tab.
I went to the sticky in the dev forum on how to unbrick. Ran Odin and the stock software, it goes through successfully but when I boot it will have the Sprint splash screen and then just goes to a Samsung screen and never comes off of it.
When I go to the Recovery screen, I get this message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E: Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log
E: Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
it also repeats this when I try to do a wipe on it.
I've tried putting an update.zip on the SD card and it will go about 1/4 of the way before going to the screen with the exclamation point and the Android guy.
I've tried using the EA24 flasher. When I click the Start Download button to start the software update I get an error that says "Unable to open binary file!"
any other ideas on where to go from here?
Sounds like you just need to do a factory reset / wipe in recovery (I saw the same errors and did the same when I flashed the Sprint Gingerbread ROM to my Verizon Tab). That worked for me, I'll bet it works for you too.
EDIT: Hmm, sorry I missed that you said you wiped already?
I used Heimdall to flash kernel + factoryfs.rfs in my case, that alone should be enough to be up and running I would think.
update.zip method is *very* fussy, all files are hash checked, needs stock recovery and stock kernel etc., that did work for me one time, but as I say, it's very fussy. I'd think a stock rooted ROM (like here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161033) may be best. Worth a shot anyway.
yep, did the wipe and it pulled that message.
Tried SuperOneClick to see if I could get anywhere but no luck. Was looking through the sticky about trying to root it and run a different ROM to see if that may help but it looks like I need a working unit to do that to get into some of the settings like USB debugging and what not.
I am going to try the heimdall thing next. Hopefully I can get somewhere with that because I'm running out of options. Appreciate the info!
Make sure you use your shipped stock rom... It maybe you have locked bootloaders and it won't allow you to upgrade without unlocking 1st...
Not sure about the CDMA gtabs though as I use a GSM tab, though reflashing the supplied rom seems to fix most things...
One thing to remember if you get errors in cwm is to go to advanced, then reboot recovery. I have gotten errors just like yours and that fixed them. Also a stock heimdall will fix you. Since we don't mess around with bootloaders on the sgt you gonna be hard pressed to brick you tab. Let me know if this helps.
Personally I've given up on cwm until I see some more progress. Heimdall works well and the stock rooted gb is great for me. I've gotten into a pinch quite a few times lately and come through even gotten the phone...!...pc screen freaked me out esp when I wasn't getting odin to pick the tab up. Let me know if you need some help!
