I have checked other similar threads before posting, but I couldn't find anything helpful.
I had a stock 2.1 Eclair then updated to FroYo through Kies a couple of days ago (firmware JPA). Then I applied the voodoo lagfix through Odin and everything was working fine. Today I tried to install CF-Root using Odin. It went fine and my phone rebooted but then it went into a blank screen after the booting animation/sound.
I CAN boot into both recovery and download modes but I'm a little bit confused on what to do now. Should I flash a new firmware or is there any thing else that I could do to fix this. And if I have to flash a new firmware, which version do you recommend (I prefer stock 2.2.1 Samsung firmware, preferably ones for the Middle East so they would have Arabic support).
Thanks in advance
Just a little update. I flashed a new firmware (XWJPA), it went fine and rebooted then came up with the recovery menu with an error message that the /dev/block/stl10 can't be mounted. I tried to wipe stored data (not internal SD card) and rebooted it. Now it goes into the same blank screen but keeps vibrating randomly!!
Any suggestions?
your dbdata is corrupted. i think JM5 or JM8 contains it...
i had this problem recently,, i flashed darkys 9.2 resurrection thru odin (that contains dbdata) and that fixed my problem...

Can anyone confirm which one has dbdata, JM5 or JM8? I currently have a very slow internet connection and downloading both would take a lot of time.
Also could anyone explain the reason it got corrupted?
Thanks for your help
I flashed JM5 and now my phone boots fine again. Later I tried to flash JS5 but I got the same problem again! What am I doing wrong? And which is the latest stable firmware that I should flash to?
Don't tick repartition in odin when you upgrade to JS5
Thanks for the quick reply. The update went fine

this is what happened
i installed sgs tools...tried the hacked camera.apk
since that was not working, i tried reverting it by running the restore script....
when i opened camera, my screen became black and it has stayed ever since...
i restart my phone and it shows the boot screen, the s shimmers for a long time and then black screen again....
and i cant seem to get into recovery mode.... i have tried many times...
EDIT:got into recovery mode after 100 tries....what do i do now?
i have tried wiping data, and clearing the cache....doesnt solve the issue...
my phone is rooted.....i dont think i'll have warranty..
please help!!!!!
if you have 3 button combo working (download mode working) find some rom which you want to install and do it by odin.
best to find middle package (Richtchofen ones with his instructions, they quite plain and simple)
you could try put only pda part of the rom without repartition
if it will be stock room the same as you have now in your phone your warranty will be untouch

No make sure you flash the stock fw and use the 512 pit and have all options,ticked
Just find and read instruction how to proper repartition phone and flash it in Richtrofen posts (short and simple) which include links to roms.
do as it said and your phone will be working fine. mine was exactly on the same state few times and repartition with stock rom always helped

Hehe dont use oclf use voodoo lag fix on 2.2 instead mate
Hi Guys,
One friend here in the office got a new Galaxy S from Orange here in spain. He wanted to go to 2.2 so I flashed the latest JPU. After that everything worked fine _but_ the market, cleared cache, wiped the phone many times, but still nothing. I flashed the last Doc Rom that said It had a market fix but with no luck. I flashed then JP7 and had the same problem, wiped, cleared cache, forced close, _everything_ but nothing seems to help. So I'm out of ideas.
The problem on the market is that I can see everything paid and non-paid applications, but when I click the download I got the download arrow in the task bar for a brief moment, and then it goes away, but nothing gets downloaded.
Anyone can give me any hint please?...
Regards,
Sound like you do not have a cache partion (you didnt flash a csc file when you flashed jpu and you clicked repartition). Same thing happened to me, took me a while to figure it out, if you look at your event logs you will see that it tries to download but fails with a lack of memory. Flash back to a normal full build ie JPO with repartition then flash back to JPU without repartion clicked, that what i did. im not sure if you can just flash a CSC file, cant see any reason why not but am unsure.
Wow
Thanks for your help, I'm going to flash: I9000XXJPO, I was using PIT 512, to flash this JPO that pid is ok? and then I'll go to JPU if my friend whats to keep playing with the phone
Again, thank you
when you flash a rom if its not a full image with a csc then flash with no repartition. A 512 pit file will be o.k for jpu
Hi guys i searched for other threds before making this one but none of them had download mode working
i tried flashing jpy and jpx with odin using the 512 and the 813 pit files, my problem is that after showing the sgs screen(really effing loud) the screen goes dark and vibrates in a pattern that goes like ........1....2................1...2...........1............2 and repeats, i can accces both the download and recovery modes
Extra maybe important info:
came eclair jm4 flashed with kies then from jm7 i think with the bujp5 modem(the vodafone one) tried to flash jpy & jpx still stuck on darkscreen
in odin i only had the pit+pda checked with repartition, autoreboot and f.reset time ticked. Did i miss something?
I also tried to flash jpo, no dice.
Try to flash an other firmware (2.1)
Take it from samfirmware
They supply 3in1 packages that need to be put in only pda
Use pit 512
Repartition
If that worked, then try a 2.2(.1)

Where did you get jpy from? I got mine from samfirmware and had no dramas. Went from jm8 to jpy you could always flash a 2e recovery kernel cf root for example then install cwm so you can install custom jpy roms..i use darkys and love it
Got it working : D For any future reference flash jm8 with repartition on then jpy with repartition off...
on another note what do I do when I already have jpy working and want a clean instal of it plus different modem and kernel? (repartition on/off, do I use any pit files ?
Happy new year
can someone please tell me where to get these files from?
i've searched but keep getting the wrong pit or stock firmware..
i'm a noob and i'm confused, excuse me of my ignorance but i've tried sooo much lol
btw i have a bell I9000M which i think is my problem.. help
Hi guys,
I have browsed the forum and have tried several of the remedies here but still no luck. I have been running Darkyy's 9.0.2 rom for a few weeks now, with a 500hz- speedmod kernel (don't remember what flavour, but was flashed via CWM). It has been running great since I flashed.
The problem arose when I went into settings to simply change the lock screen. I selected another lockscreen and my phone rebooted. Then it gave me quite a few FC errors,so I decided to boot into recovery and 'restore' a previous save. Now my phone just shows the samsung logo and reboots.
I am able to get into download mode but not recovery. This will be the fourth time I have to send it away. Is there another option or is this still my only option?
Any thing specific I should try to flash.
If it helps I am on the BEll network (gt-i9000M)
try to flash JPY base stock ROM with Odin......
try without repartition and pit (1 file PDA, no pit file from samfirmware.com)....
Then flash the latest speedmod kernel.....
Now it should work (maybe! XD)!!
Thanks for your reply, I tried your suggestion but still the same problem. I also tried all of the suggestions on this link. I finally was able to get into the recovery console by flashing JPY (no part, no pit), then immediately flash JL2 (with bootloader, no flash, no pit) but I got the dreaded 'no such directory'...again. So I am SOL but have to take it back today.
Did you tried flashing with 3 files + pit + repartition?
With this method it should work...
Remember: no bootloader update!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Did you ever upgrade to the official Bell JL2? If not, I'd probably do that through Odin and have it update the bootloader. I had gone from JH2 to different cooked roms and would always run into corruption/fc problems a week later. And eventually the phone would just not boot into the OS. The last time it happened, even flashing to another cooked ROM would not work. The official bell JL2 has an bootloader update that seemed to have fixed the issues I was having.
Booted official JL2 and remembered how much I hated lag After that, flashed a 2e kernel through Odin then seeARM's cooked JL2 through clockwork. Been running that for 3 weeks now without any issues.
Hi Guys,
I should probably write down what I flash when I flash it. I honestly do not remember what I flashed. I went through all the threads I could find and tried everything. So to answer your question, I cannot say for sure if I did that or not. But I ended up sending the phone away. It was weird, I asked my fiance to take my phone in while I was at work. She called me later that day and told me that her phone did the same thing so she sent hers back the same day....weird.
I dont know where to start, but my phone was fascinating before updating do darky 9.2
I tried to install Voodoo, Speedmod, Ryan,...format sd card...ect but...my phone is still nearly dying.
My phone could currently be turned on and work freezingly and unresponsively in Eclair version (and able to access to Download mode), but whenever I tried upgrade it to 2.2 or 2.21 (so many versions tried from JP2 - JPY and JXS5) my phone cant not be booted at SamSung Galaxy S I9000 screen and Recovery Mode is blocked (but not the Download Mode).
Have anyone of you experienced it before and found any solution to fix it...PLZ share, plz help.
THanks
right dont panic, download something like JM8 with PIT
flash it thru odin with re-partition and that should do the trick
then upgrade to something newer.
im at JM8 right now (same as last 2 weeks) with unresponsive screen. Try to upgrade to jpo, jpy, jp2...but all failed (cant not boot at froyo)
and did you have all the 3 files and PIT ?? if so what PIT was you using ?? and did you check re partition ??
Wipe the lot install Eclair via Odin see if it fixes your problem then upgrade .
jje
Flash Jm8 with Pit 512 repartition checked.
->>> Working but freezing...completely freezing
Flash again with JPO (1file) no pit, repartition unchecked
-->> Cant boot
Flash back again Jm8 with Pit 512 repartition checked
-> Working and more freezing
Flash JPY -> cant boot
Tried like all the stock roms with the same procedure but...just getting lost
thanks
Yet another post of this ...wow.
Same thing I am looking for help on other threads...i didnt expect others to have same issue. I have tried many things as welll ...nothing works.
