Phone won't boot

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.

ok now that i sucesfully reparttioned my shw-m180s,
i have a tiny bit of problem on the internal sd card...
its not showing the 16gb storage,instead its 210mb size..
.i have now sucesfully collected all the files i need to flash and keep on reflashing,
but i cant find a way to successfully make the internal sd to gb
,instead it keeps goin back to the 210mb,
before i have the no internal sd card detected or error,
but it shows upfor a sec then gone,now its just 210mb,

hi mate.
your problem is that you're trying to run a gingerbread rom, while you have an ICS/JB bootloader. the two use an entirely different partition scheme, so it's not finding the storage when it tries to access it. it seems to be a common occurrence, lots of people aren't aware that the two differ, when they're even aware that bootloaders exist.
if you look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836094&postcount=2 , you'll find the solution i gave someone else that had that problem the other day.

to succesfuly downgrade from cm10 to stock GB you have to flash 3-file ROM with pit512 and re-partition checked.

PLEASE HELP ME

How did you manage to get your phone in that state? But seriously, what did you do after rooting your phone that could cause this?
Bad thing you rooted your phone but didn't install CWM, you could recover a nandroid backup but, somethings weird here, "can't write NV partition" some people say restoring a nandroid backup fixed their issue.
Does your phone write this "E:can't write NV Partition." itself or did you choose option "Wipe NV partition" ?
As far as I know, NV partition contains IMEI etc., if the files are corrupted in there, theres nothing much you can do.
Try wiping cache partition, shouldn't be any danger in doing that, perhaps factory reset too but I don't think this'll fix your NV partition, you'll probably need to get your phone repaired and its rooted so your warranty is now void.
This problem is common among SGS3 & samsung users, but they usually can boot their phones, but can't access network.They r using some programs to re-flash their original files, they wouldn't work on our phones though.
I'm used to get such errors on my old phone. (not NV partition though cause I didn't touch it ever) These errors were usually due to using ext4 filesystem on kernels that didn't support ext4, so I guess your partitions are corrupt and your phone can't format them, did your phone sustain any physical damage lately?
Cache partition is supposed to be corrupted over time and formatted by system whenever that happens, It's easy to corrupt it but the problem with your phone is that it can't format it.
Try getting your cache partition working, perhaps you can still boot with your IMEI etc. corrupted and rescue your phone.
Try that 'KDZ firmware flash' method, most people use it to update their firmware versions but seen some people using it for unbricking their devices, however I didn't use anything other than LG pc suite so I don't know how you'd exactly do that.
It could also be that CAC file "/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/CAC" corrupted, I don't know what that file does but it sure does have a role while formatting /cache, so firmware flashing may help with that
I'm not an expert, these are the only methods I have in my mind, good luck mate

there was none from the start. and I didnt do anything. I was just texting people.
Also do you have a skype? i need your help|
add EllisPlayist

I tried all those options, even factory reset, none of them worked

Hi,
First of all what important is that you keep yourself cool. Read first and understand it then take any step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2179126
Try the above given link if you can reboot into software update mode.
Otherwise you can try the instruction from @RuedasLocas in Post 7.
But as far I think LG Flash Tool should do the trick for you.
Hope you will be able to do it.
All the best.

[Q] Cannot factory reset or wipe /data on t849

Pretty basic I have the T849 and the screen is shattered so I haven't used it in quite a while, long story short pulled it out of a drawer today and charged up. Cant access email or the play store so i decided to do a factory wipe, factory wipe does not work is just reboots into cwm and these are the errors I see:

Do you have a link to the stock firmware? I have searched on this and google and most or all of the links are dead.

No, I don't have the stock.
I don't see the point though. GB-stock-safe-v5 works better than the stock T-mobile froyo anyway.

I got the gb stock safe flashed now im on the step where you are supposed to flash the -Overcome_Kernel_v4.0.0.tar but for some reason i dont seem to be able to find it in the zip file that was provided.

Great I have it fixed and it is working perfectly (as far as I can tell) now. Tommorow I will post the step by step and links that i used to get it fixed to save others the time and frustration of doing this, thanks for all the help. Namaste Friends

overcome rom works great only problem that I have ran into is the fact that wifi drops alot and hardly seems to work at all. And yes I have flashed the wi-fi fix, twice, and still no luck.
Have to go run some errands but afterwards I will post what I did step by step for those in the future that encounter the very problem that I had( the no factory reset or able to mount /data problem).
