Hey,
Pretty new to android
I tried flashing back to stock, but I'm having some trouble.
I can get into download mode, odin recognizes my phone.
(Little history: I bricked my phone about a month ago, managed to get it into download mode, and get back to stock)
For some reason right now, when I flashed back the stock rom, I get stuck at the Rogers Splash screen with the red dots going by, then when that ends the screen goes black.
Using a Rogers i896 Captivate, Odin3 - pda is a rogers stock rom i found on here
any help?
thanks
Anyone please help??
I don't know why it goes black after the rogers splash screen
Should I be using anything but pda in odin3??
I don't know why this isn't working, its worked before...
Please help!!
Did you used the pit file and select re-partition? Try flashing again...
sent from.... awaiting location... on my samsung captivate i896 Canadian, eh!

OK guys i updated to a 2.2 Froyo i thought it was laggy and i was like ok im going to downgrade back to stock 2.1 eclair
so what happened was i used odin, used 803 Pit file and the 9000UGJh2 and it formatted but instead of restarting the phone to normal start up it goes into recovery mode saying E: Can't mount. dev block mmcblk0p1
I bought the phone off someone on RedFlagDeals.com -> about 2 weeks ago love this phone hope its not dead
I CAN GO into Download Mode, can go into recovery mode
Phoen just starts up does the Galaxy Logo and goes dark from there on.
Dont have original reciept but i do have original box + all original accesories.
what are my choices here?
Thanks for reading!
UGJH2? I'm not sure, but I don't think that's a rom for the international i9000 galaxy s? Might want to check wherever you downloaded it from.
If you can get into download mode, shouldn't be a problem.. just flash some other rom. You could try look in the android dev subforum, and try out some of the roms there, I'm using Doc's froyo rom, and it has worked pretty well for me
thing is i cant use clockwork recovery mode and im using the Bell Vibrant
In that case, what are you doing in the Galaxy S forum? Go to the Vibrant forum. You obviously downloaded the wrong rom.
Vibrant is not the Galaxy S I9000. Never was, never will be.

The bell galaxy s vibrant is the gt-i9000m. He's on the right forum.
Why can't you use CWM? On recovery 3e?
Flash to some old eclair rom, most (if not all) of those have recovery 2e, which works fine with CWM
Can you please elaborate or point out some links on how to get CWM to recover from the mmcblk0p1 problem?
idk and also im giving up hope .. it hink its dead and useless
use odin to flash UGJH2 on the device (512 pit, I always click repartition-don't know if you need to though). There's guides on here or google if you're unsure how to do it, but it's pretty simple.
This is of course assuming your internal sd isn't corrupt.
EDIT: I see you tried it already but with 803 pit. Try with 512. That error though I think means an internal SD issue (not positive though)
i think u downloaded the wrong rom....

UGJH2 is the eclair rom for the bell galaxy s vibrant. Why do you think he downloaded the wrong rom?

Thanks for this - I just flashed UGJH2 (512) to my I9000M and had the most encouraging results so far - no errors to do with stl1x or mmcblk0px show up in recovery mode. Unfortunately it still gets so far through the boot process, screen goes black and then nothing happens. When I attempt to apply any updates from the external SD it says file not found (even when it's a freshly FAT formatted 1G with only an update.zip on it).
I tried UGJH2 with 803 after that and got the mmcblk error again, so I went back to the 512 and have been trying to get something to work.
Any ideas on what I could do to get my phone working again?
Update.zip won't work from external sd, only internal sd card, so that's one problem.
You could also try the earlier bell eclair, JH8 (i think?) instead of JH2 and see if that gives you a better result
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
I think the one you mean is JM8 and I tried that one a while ago. I'll give it a go again now just in case though.
Maybe not JM8. That has GT I9000 on the bootscreen instead of GT I9000M and breaks horribly. I can't find JH8 on samfirmware - maybe it has a different name?
Sorry, JG8
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
same issue
I just got the exact same issue. I installed the screen density app from market and then my phone did not restart properly and kept recycling through the Gt19000 logo. I flashed the roms again through odin but it gets stuck on the black screen after the S logo. If i install a froyo rom it keeps cycling the GT19000 logo
Damn, exact same boot behaviour with JG8 (512 & 803) - coloured logo to black screen.
Is there anything else you can think of that I might try?
Edit: Is it likely I don't actually have the bad SD seeing as how I get none of the stl/mmcblk errors when using UGJH2?
I'm currently stuck in a position where my phone will not boot at all (the boot screen displaying "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font does NOT appear AT ALL), nor can I boot my phone into recovery mode—absolutely every effort produces no effects, and leaves the screen in a solid, lifeless black. The only thing that has any effect is booting the phone into download mode, which is successful; however...
I am unsuccessful in flashing a ROM with ODIN. I have the proper drivers installed, and the phone shows up in ODIN just fine. It also goes through the entire ODIN flashing process as if everything has worked fine. The end result is, at the end of the ODIN flashing process, when the phone restarts and boots, it has the white font (GT-i9000 + Samsung) cycling—it appears, disappears, reappears, and seems to cycle infinitely. The only way to stop the cycle is to do a battery pull. At this stage, my phone repeats the symptoms of the first paragraph: pressing/holding the power button does NOT boot the phone, but does nothing; pressing/holding the volume up + home button + power button does NOT enter recovery, but does nothing; however, I can successfully enter the download mode.
My phone shows up in ODIN without a problem, and I have attempted to flash various original stock ROMs via their respective TAR files—but to no avail. I am in a cycle that produces no effect.
If anyone could advise me as to whether or not ODIN is flashing incorrectly, or what is going on, I would greatly appreciate it. If anyone could point me to the next step, it would help tremendously. Thanks in advance.
Try flashing firmware with PDA, Modem and CSC with repartition?
Maybe some Eclair firmware...
i was in the same situation as u were. i got the (asian version)I9000ZSJP2 ROM and flashed my mobile using odin. I used pit, pda, phone and csc files from the same link from samfirmware (cant post links)
(also had re-partition checked against website's address).
it was a chinese rom and had to change language in settings..> locale...> english.
hope this helps.
Hi,
You can make a flash to the last stable version JPY. In the arhive provided by samfirmware there is a single file "*.tar" select that file on PDA option on ODIN. You try first without cheking "repartion" checkbox. If not working check repartition. That it's all.
REMENBER: JPY is for european model of samsung galaxy s.
I have tried with "repartition" both checked and unchecked. My phone is an i9000m, but I'm assuming JPY would work fine on it, considering every custom ROM I've ever used was based on that firmware. Is this an incorrect assumption? Should I find i9000m firmware (if so, where)?
I'll try getting some files from samfirmware. Fingers crossed! I'll report back on the results.

I have tried every combination of repartition, pit files (or no pit files, as suggested on samfirmware), firmwares, etc. that I can possibly think of. All with the same result: the phone displays the intial boot screen (not the animated one, but the one that says "GT-i9000" and "Samsung" in white font) and get stuck showing that (it flashes the screen, goes away as if it is going to boot, then shows the screen again, cycling forever until I battery pull).

This did not work. It produced the same results as any other attempt to use Odin, being stuck looping the screen with the white text. Download mode continues to work, but powering on the phone normally AND trying to boot into Recovery BOTH get stuck looping the screen with the white text.
Has anyone heard of this problem before? I'd really like a definitive answer before I write my phone off as bricked/dead.
Man, if you have a i9000m that means you have a USA phone model. So go to samfirmware.com and flash with odin version I9000BVJJPD, this is the last firmware for your specific model.

Galaxy S i9000m is the Canadian version of the i9000, which is the European model. USA does not have such models; the closest is the Vibrant, which is quite different.
Nevertheless, I'll take your advice assuming you know something that I do not. i9000m's are not sold in the USA (as far as I'm concerned), so samfirmware's site having a "USA" section for i9000 left me confused. Considering every custom ROM I've ever flashed onto my phone was based off i9000 firmware, as well as the fact that I once tried flashing USA firmware on my phone which left it unusable, I assumed I should be looking at the European versions. I'll try the latest USA version and see what happens.
I will report back. Fingers crossed!
Good luck! I hope that will work.

Using the USA firmware (I9000BVJJPD) gave the exact same result. I still cannot get past the white text. I do greatly appreciate the suggestion though.
Am I out of luck guys? =/
Hey,
I'm new to android.
I thought I've read up on everything I'm doing. Making sure to read the threads carefully.
I've rooted my captivate and tried to put OCLF. It said it was successful, except now when my phone was rebooted it shows:
device name (samsung i896)
rogers screen
galaxy s screen
then it goes black and vibrates every so often
I've tried searching and can't seem to find what I need.
If anyone can help, I can boot my phone into recovery mode, but thats about it. Nothing works in there right now,
Can anyone help me get this fixed, or back to the stock rogers firmware that would be great
Thanks!
you can try to use key combination to get into the download mode and flash the stock rom.
if you cannot get into the download mode, my suggestion is to build a jig or buy one:

I can get into download mode and recovery mode.
I'm kind of lost on flashing back to the stock rom. I'm looking at other threads on how to do so, but something isnt working when I try.
Someone please help!
I'm experiencing the same problem even after flashing Rogers stock (2.1 and 2.2) with Oden and Heimdall. All flashing indicates they were successful; however, I still get the black screen, lit touch icons, and vibrations after the three boot screens/animations.
EDIT: Problem was solved for me by flashing a stock file that contained dbdata.rfs and param.lfs with 512.pit and repartitioning. The Odin flashable Rogers 2.1 stock ROM I put together can be found here. Because it is complete, it will also remove the AT&T boot screen if you flashed an AT&T ROM.
im apparently having the same problem with ma GF's phone -

Have you tried flashing AT&T or Rogers stock?
Im new at this so bear with me please. OK, so I was using Odin to get back to my stock ROM for my Captivate, and it gets stuck on sbl.bin. What initially happened was that I tried to revert to a backup i made, but it ended up staying on my boot screen for like 20 minutes. So i shut off my phone, and it was still doing the same thing. I tried to use Odin to get it back to stock, but it was then stuck on FILE ANALYSIS... Tried again stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET...
So i unplugged, tried again on Odin3 1.00. Now that one is stuck on sbl.bin, still not past it. Pretty sure my phone is soft bricked. I can still get into Download Mode and everything, so what im asking is am i screwed or is there a way to fix it and how?
Thanks
I have had this happen before. As long as you can still get into dk mode you are ok.
If it is still stuck, unhook. Pull battery abd leave it out. Power off computer then restart. Open odin, get into dl mode try again
You may have to try a bunch if times
Have you used odin before?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Yes i have. I have gone back to stock a few times already and i flashed Cyanogen mod using it. Thanks for the tip ill try and post again after a few attempts
EDIT: OK i got past it. Thanks a lot mcord. Now that I think about it, I might have forgotten to put the PDA and PIT file in after I restarted Odin the first time. Wow i feel kinda dumb. O well. Thanks a lot
