[Q] Samsung Galaxy S: Black Screen after Flash

I have a SGS with firmware I9000XWJG5 and Root. I tried to do a Speed fix, but afterwards it was slower so i tried to flash the phone with the I9000XWJG5 firmware again.
After the flash, the phone rebooted and i came to the recovery menu. There the phone wrote:
update media, please wait
and in the next lines:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Now when i try do start the phone, i get a black screen after the bright S
What i have tried: Flash agein with and without re-partition and Factory Reset
Has anybody an idea what i can do?
and sorry for my bad english

bump. can anyone help with this topic..
i am having some problem..
help us guys
thanks
Fixed... use odin 512

Thread moved in Galaxy S I9000 General.

I can definately help with this one, as I worked through it last night...
I found that if you're trying to flash the JG5 rom (as mentioned in Modaco's thread) with the 513 Pit file, then you'll get the black screen of despair!! For some reason the two combination of the two don't work.
However, if you do a google search for Odin PIT 512, then download this file
You will be able to download the 512 PIT file instead. Now use this in Odin3 to flash the JG5 rom and you should have no further issues....it worked for me.
I also discovered that Samsung have just released a later firmware, so I just flashed this one on top of the JG5 one...I have a nicely running phone now.
Hope this helps...it did me!
Mike

Mine was completely knackered. Couldn't get to recovery either. Flashed Modaco's MCR R3, after the JG5 flash, using all the files in the JG5 download. Working a treat...
Cheers,
BS...

Same here.
I tried JS3 and going back to JP6....and always the same result.
I'm obviously missing something. Maybe my 512.PIT is corrupted. I get the black screen and the same /dev/block.st110 errors in recovery.

i beleive you need to have a CSC file also for the odin flash.
i sorted mine like this:
Downloaded some JP2 odin files [used this as this was the only one on Samsung-firmwares that had all 3 PDA, Modem and CSC Files. flashed this using a .512 pit in odin. - this allowed the phone to boot normally.
connected to Kies and using reg hack [set to XEU] managed to update to JPY.
the following the Darky guide, flashed the CF Root kernel, installed the ROM Manager from the market, using the recovery mode installed the update.zip file for clockworkMod.
Formatted everything in ClockworkMod
Factory Reset in ClockworkMod
Installed Darky ROM V8.0 Wipe

thanks for your find !

fix for black screen after flash with no recover or download mode working.
Hey All.
So like the subject says, you flash and then your phone restarts or whatever, and then you get the normal galaxy s startup, with the sound and the visuals, but then that's it. Henceforth you are greeted with the two lights (if its a Bell Vibrant) from your options and back keys.
To fix it use the attached file. Its called ADB or something - I just know it works. It was a fix for the galaxy s phones that didnt have the recovery/download mode stock.
so here is how it goes:
1. download adb to your desktop and unpack it (if its in winrar or zip or whatever) to a file folder named adb.
2. open a command prompt.
3. type "cd" and then the address of the "adb" folder. so for example it should be in C:\Users\your user name\Desktop\adb. where "your user name" is your user name a duh.
4. plug in your galaxy s via usb.
5. type "adb reboot download" in the command prompt. copy it using your mouse as well.
6. turn on your phone.
7. press enter in the command prompt, then keep copying and pasting and pressing enter until you see the download screen on your phone. each time you press enter it says device not connected or something but just keep trying.

can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"

(sorry can't add the picture since i'm new).
I waited 20 minutes but nothing happens....
Should i wait again? Can i unplug and try again?
Thanks

this might be a silly question but are you already rooted and have recovery 2e?

Thanks for your answer.
I'm rooted but i have recovery 3e.
After serveral tries, i was not able to reformat using the pit provided with darky's.
Fortunately it worked with another pit file, and after that i was able to flash an official rom, but now after the boot, i have a black screen with the phone vibrating.
When i go into recovery mode, i see
Update medie, plesae wait
E:Can’t mount /dev/block/st110
(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.

What does it mean?

Try reading Darkys help files or kill it .
Use Odin block 2 method .

hi mate, i had issues trying to use the odin method and failed misserably, the way i done it in the end is as follows
go to market
download sgs kernel
once done flash speedmod kernel using the app
re start phone
once done download darkys rom
reboot to download mode (should now have 2e)
flash zip
choose zip
find darkys
click yes instal darkys
job done
one thing i must point out in 2e is the back button on your phone is now the select button and the menu button on the bottom left is now your back button
hope this helps as it did for me

Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Hello,
Thx all for your help.
Finally i was able to unbrick by flashing an official JS3 kernel with the 3 files (PDA-CSC-MODEM) and reformat using a 803 pit file.
I don't know why, everything i tried with only 1 pda file didn't work

[Q] i flashed my galaxy s wrong! help please!

today i wanted to flash my galaxy s to ics.
my galaxy s was already rooted so i put the zip in the root of my phone.
so then i went to recovery mode and installed ics and im sure i followed every step in the tutorial. But when booting it didnt stop booting and it was like that for an hour. so then i tried to flash it back to the firmware i had before.
i tried to flash back to gingerbread with odin but now it cant boot beyond the galaxy s gt-19000 screen.
i tried to go to recovery mode but in recovery mode everywhere its saying
"E: unknown volume for path {/data}
E: unknown volume for path {/data}
E: Unable to process volume! Skipping..."
and so on...
please help me

http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php

thank you for the answer ill try it

try going back to smthn like jvt or jw1 via odin and then if u want to flash ics follow the video on youtube by totallydubbedhd

You need to flash a rom stock using ODIN. If I understand correctly you must enable the option to re-partition so be sure to also include the .pit file when you will flash, then proceed to install ICS. It is recommended to remove the SD-EXT before starting to install because it can pass to enter a bootloop.

When you downloaded the clockwork mode recovery file you should have flashed via Odin v4.38 and not trough stock recovery cos that might end up soft/hard brick your phone try to follow the tutorial from af(android forums) on how to unbrick your phone it might help

Try to follow that tutorial that i've been talking about the one on (andorid forums) (it help'd me allot)although i'm not quite sure that it will help you very much cos that tutorial is for SGM s5570 but try it if it help's i would recommend before flashing clock work mod for your device (via Odin) not trough stock recovery,cos mine got stuck at boot logo the same as you i try'ed to flash cwm trough stock recovery and my device bootloop'ed so try to update your phone with latest version of gingerbread and then start to flash cwm on your device if the unbrick tutorial from af help's

anyone ?

which rom did you flash? also if you can enter download mode then reflash stock rom and one thing make sure the rom you downloaded was for s5570i not s5570.i think you might have installed a rom for s5570 on your s5570i.
