Help system/internal sd problem Bounty for fixing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

ive tried fixing this for the past 2weeks but no luck..
If anyone could help me with this im willing to give bounty.
Flashed with different roms but no luck..sir hardcore told me to flash dxjpa which is suitable rom for my country but no luck again.
Basically the problem is i can do a hard/factory/cmw mode reset of my galaxy s but when i reboot it, apps everything are still there in my internal sd..
And its bombarding the phone with lots of force closing apps.
Im try the cmw mode of reformating the system but no luck unmounting it gives me an error..
Ive tried to reformat thou the data/cache and internal sd it gives me the success but when i reboot the phone it hangs in the galaxy s logo..
Im also trying to repartition the internal sd but no luck also in cmw mode.
My bluetooth is also force closing
i cant use it any more.
I cant do/put update.zip in intermal sd..
Everytime i put it using masstorage and applying it in cmw mode it vanishes.
Apps that i delete come back whenever i reboot.
But the phone is still working,manage to apply hardcores speedmod kernel..
Any help will be very much appreciated..and a bounty ofcoures.
50$....i think the problem is the partition of internal sd anf the 2gig rom for apps..whenever im trying to install new app first 15mins its running ok..after that it force closes.

Well you need to flash a new firmware with odin.
Do use pit 512 and for tick re-partition.
Then go into recovery when the phone start. It should do that once after the flash.
When the phone reboot pull the battery fast.
Then put it back in and go to recovery mode.
Now format the internal sdcard . Do a factory reset.
Do wipe the catch and format the internal sdcard again.
Now reboot.
You have lost all of your data, but all should work.

thanks sir gonna try that one later.
If this works im gona buy you a beer!
Thanks again.

sir its still the same followed your instruction.
when i format internal sd it says:
formating internal sd
updating media:
updating media finished:
it didnt say that it is formated..
why is that?
when it reboots all apps that must not be there are still intact
but cannot be open as it force closes..
im wondering also why is my bluebooth not functioning it force closes also.
dont know what to do any more..

not sure if this would help you .. but i was getting the infamous "cant mount /dev/block/stl11" errors everywhere ..
to fix the partitions i flashed my phone with the PDA and Modem files from the JM8 firmware and the CSC file from JPU along with the 512.pit via Odin with reflash ticked.. you could always try that

Did you install a new firmware with odin and did repartition?
You need a full firmware for that.
You cant have same error or same file left if you did that.

What was your original firmware? Try flashing that and following DamianGTO's instructions before mixing and matching random pda/modem/csc files from various firmwares.

If you do What we tell you to do then it will work.
Before you mess with different stuff you need to flash a full firmware. That's to clean up the phone and make it work. Format etc...

flash to jp3..when i factory reset and restart theres a safe mode in the lower left screen and all i pre installed apps are gone..i thought its already fix..but i tried to reboot the phone..
Safe mode is gone and apps are back..
How to turn on safe mode?
May i ask what is the best stock eclair firmware to use?

As i undrstand you want to formate the internal sd card but you cant, if you have root explorer installed then check the permission of one of the folder in sd card it might be read only. You can check thus through adb but i dont know it. If it is read only than changd it to write as well than try to delete folder.

i think ive messed root explorer last time..im trying to put file inside the system its a .so file..
Il gonna check.
I cant be able to root this time cause when i put update.zip in internal sd and go to recovery mode it vanishes and cant be applied.
Ithink the internal becomes write protected??

Why not try things we say?
You don't follow them. Its clear now that you don't.

ok here it is..
flash to stock rom dxjf4 partition ticked..
flash again diff rom pda without partition dxjpa..in recovery mode reboot pull batery fast and put it back. recovery mode format internal sd/ factory reset/wipe date cache and format internal sd again..then reboot..
ok done..
waiting...still apps are force closing..try factory reset.. still apps are there..
flash again to stock rom same procedure..then to jm8 pda (trying diff pda's)
after flashing e: cant mount dev/block/j11o
cant flash with jm8 pda that error occurs.
ive been using the stock rom for the meantime..dont know what to do anymore.
cant reformat my internal sd card..
apps are keep coming back.

i assume you had voodoo. Flash to 2.1, restart (phone still wont start) to download mode and flash voodoo again. Phone will start. Next time when updating disable voodoo.
Oh and, wrong section.

any help and sorry for the section
Okay, what lagfix could you possibly use than? Mimocans? If yes - than the method is same. Flash 2.1 and apply mimocans kernel. If something else that converts, shifts data than also the same.
If OCLF - it is unimportant, it is deleted during flash.

Assuming you have a i9000m (Aka a bell vibrant).
Welcome to the club of dead internal sdcards.
Your only option is to flash back to stock and give it for repair.
Are you getting e:can't mount /dev/block/mmcb1k0 as well ?

than you did the repartition during flash to voodoo - which you shouldnt do. Repartition + flash to 2.1 and flash to 2.2 (use Doc's rom - safer and easier).
i used the oclf and flash with more than one firmware and the same problem

but the big problem i'm outside Canada now
so there is no solution
Yea, I got that same message last night when I tried to flash JPM with 512.PT over my already-installed JPM (reasons for doing this are irrelevant).
What you gotta do is;
1 - Download JM8, JPM, Odin 1.3, 512.PIT and 803.PIT
2 - Flash JM8 with 512.PIT - select Re-partition option
3 - Once it's done and booted all the way to TW, go to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset
4 - Flash JPM with 803.PIT - make sure Re-partition option is NOT selected
5 - Once it's done and booted all the way to TW, go to recovery and wipe cache and factory reset
That worked for me
You can find all these files, flashing instructions, and booting to recovery instructions all over this forum.
Good luck, champ.
it does not work thank u

[Q] Please help me update my SGS from JP2 to JP6

Hi I updated my SGS from Eclair to what I thought was the latest Froyo firmware. It turned that I had updated it to JP2. Now really nothing works anymore. Not even 3G.
My phone is not branded it any way but since Samsung turned off the update to JP6 I can't update using Kies. So I need to make the update using Odin or being able to get it to accept 2e files so I can install Clockwork Mod. Thing is I have no clue how to make it run 2e files. I did root it but that didn't work so obvious there is something else I need to do.
I guess my JP2 version is the stock JP2, and I would like to update it to stock JP6 or Tayutama's custom mod.
Is there something I need to do before I try updating my phone to JP6, or would it work to simply load the .tar file in Odin using the 803.pit file and re-partion and click "Start"?
PDA: I90000XXJP2
PHONE: I90000XXJP2
CSC: I90000XXJP2
Build Info: 2010.07
TIA
Daniel
Eh. Best way is downgrade to jm8 using the 512 pit file and set it to re partition. Once that's done install jp6 with 803 pit but do not use re partition. It will take too long to explain why you need to downgrade. But if you want to save time then try this method. Install jp6 as normal with 803 pit and don't re partition but this method isn't safe
Sent from my GT-I9000
I hope you made a backup first.
The way i do flash jpm or jp6 is safe and simple.
First you need a clean system.
I do this with jpk. Using pit 512 and with re-partition.
Then flash with odin.
Then i let the phone boot up.
I then format the internal sdcard.
Then i reboot in recovery mood.
There do i wipe the catch and do a factory reset.
Now is the phone almost clean.
Next i flash jpm or jp6. Use no pit file and do NOT re-partition.
People that tell you to use pit file here don't know what they are talking about.
Flash now with odin.
Start the phone and let it boot up.
Format the internal sdcard again and restart the phone in recovery again. Wipe the catch and do a factory reset. Restart the phone.
Now you got a working phone with latest froyo.

OK and by backup you mean backup of contacts, photos, sms's and so on? And a clean system is a system that has just been factory resetted, right?

No. I mean a real backup. The efs folder is very important. There you have you personal code for the phone.
The rest of the backup is just good to have.
A clean system need more than a factory reset. If you do the steep i wrote it will be clean.

I didn't do a real backup before I used Odin to update to JP2. By doing so have I now lost something I can't retreive?
How do you do a real backup? Is that done in Odin too?
I am not sure if posting external links are allowed. My apologies if not allowed.

Hmmm it didn't work as my phone is 3e and doesn't run update.zip. I know you have to reflash your Kernel to make it support update.zip files I just don't know how to do it. Man I'm rubbish when it comes to Android phones! haha
Hmmm you don't need to patch any kernel man.. Hope your phone is rooted the backup thing works with most of my friends' phones.. What is a 3e..? Just curious .
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No I can't run update.zip as my phone doesn't support unsigned files in recovery mode. In recovery mode it says 3e at the post instead of 2e as it said when there was Eclair 2.1 on it.
My phone is rooted but even so I can't get it to actually create the backup. All things before that went smooth though. Superuser gave Nandroid root access and everything.
Go to the z4mod tread and download jp6 kernel and flash it with odin.
Then you got a recovery that works with update script.
Sent from GT-I9000 jpo. My own kernel for z4mod and with 341MB Ram
Is it this kernel, by RyanZA, I should flash onto my SGS? - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8645069&postcount=162
If so should I simply apply this in Odin as PDA leaving everything else as default, put my phone in download mode and press start even though I don't run JP6 but JP2?
And after the update is done, then flash PHONE and CSC from JP6 using 803.pit leaving Re-Partion unchecked and click start?
Or should I apply the z4mod.ext2.update.zip from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=797672 - first in recovery mode and then flash PHONE and CSC?
Or should I actually flash ALL three files, PDA, PHONE and CSC?
I must say I really appreciate all the help guys and I'm sorry if I'm abit slow, but smartphones are really a new area for me and I know nothing about Linux for that matter.

You should update the phone to the latest froyo. Don't se any reasons not to.
Then flash a kernel. After that use a filesystem, lagfix you want.

So I should just flash the PHONE and CSC before I flash the kernel (PDA) you say?
And are those files I posted in a few posts above the correct ones?
No.
You should use kies to upgrade if you can. ;-)
Then you can do other stuff.

I tried Kies yesterday. Sadly after putting in JP2 that ruined Kies, It says, this device can't be updated. I even tried to fool Kies by registry hack, but Samsung has obviously done something to provoke that as it didn't work.

[Q] always reboots to clockwork recovery

Hi. I recently tried to update my rom to on from the rom kitchen and something didnt work. so after waiting 1.5h on the boot screen i opened clockwork and tried to restore a backup I made right before flashing. The thing is that what ever I do I always end up booting into clockwork again.
I did not disable lagfix prior to first flash and now I cant because it reboots to clockwork.
Anyone have an idea, or solution? Can I install another rom through odin with my ext4 lagfix on?
in clockwork do a factory reset and also clear cache and so on.
go and flash a stock rom thru odin from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 and then start all over again
providing you have download mode you should be ok
Thanks!
Are you shure that I can flash a stock rom on a ext4 filesystem? everyware I read thay say I must disable lagfix before start
If you want to return to RFS by default just flash a stock ROM and then do a wipe/factory reset into Recovery 3e.....it should work (it works for me! XD)!
Should re partition be on in odin?
only if you have all 3 files, if not dont use pit or re partition. flashing a stock will erase the ext4 and convert back to rfs so dont fret about that.
ideally you would want a 3 file firmware so you can re partition but most firmwares now only come in 1 file, so you may need to dig a little deeper if the 1 file doesnt fix your problem. i've never had to use a 3 file firmware so i couldnt direct you to one sorry.
if you really want the 3 file + pit + repartition on samfirmware.com there is the JS3 in Yellow.....it's the 3 file rom with pit and repartition!!

Gingerbread Update gone wrong

Hi, i have just updated my galaxy s to the latest gingerbread rom using odin 1.7 and all was ok with that bit. But when the phone rebooted i got an error saying UIDs on the system are inconsistant, you need to wip your data partiton or your device will be unstable. i click the im feeling lucky button and it goes in to gmail process stopped unexpectedly force close, my uploads is the same as well. and if i try to run any app its does the same. Even the setup wizard forces close when i try and set it up the it goes in to a reboot loop. i have tried to factory reset by tiping in the number on the dail pad and going in to recovery mode all to no avail. i have tried reflashin with older roms eg 2.1 2.2 but this makes it worse. has anyone got any clues to help me????
Thanks

It's DTJG4 which is an Australian eclair build, but may get you out of trouble.

What about EFS.....
Odin 1.7 is the wrong flashing program for the i9000 you should be using v1.0, 1.3 or 1.8.
The numerous versions of odin are version specific and you need to be using the correct one for your phone type.

[Q] partition reformat

Hi Guys,
I have CM7 installed and wanna try different ROM.
I realized that CM7 runs on MTD/yaffs2 , thus I need to reformat my falsh partitions to either ext4 or original RFS depending on the ROM I will flash.
I am wondering how can I do so?
I am concerned with bricking the phone if I combine wrong partition format and ROM.
Thanks for your help!
