Hello,
I have read many threads and have tried many solutions with no avail. I am giving out $20 (may not be much but still an insentive) to whomever that will help me solve this.
I have 2 vibrants that keep booting to the Galaxy S i9000 intro and keeps rebooting there. I can't get into the recovery mode, but I can get into download mode and ODIN works just fine.
Please someone help

Just flash another firmware with Odin.Download a stock firmware,click re partition in odin,load all 3 files and pit and flash it.
You see sometimes after flashing with odin in some cases you might have to do a factory reset to boot the phone,since you cant go in recovery you will need to flash a complete stock firmware.This will probably work.

Follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=853950
and flash this firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883568
The people above me pretty much said it.
Go into download mode, connect to odin, download a firmware that will work with your phone, flash your phone. That should fix it.
Best of luck! Tell me how it goes
K. Just came back from bell corporate store. Said I can't do anything without a receipt so until I get a hold of my friend that I bought this off of, I will try what you guys have suggested.
By the way, the gentleman (who seemed very knowledgable) tried flashing my phone on the spot behind the counter and now the phone boots with a black screen and the bottom keys glow when pressed.
When entering recovery mode <3e> and try to format internal sd-card, i get the following:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
I will now try what you guys have suggested and keep you updated.
tried kewjoe's suggestion but no luck. Any other suggestions?
Time for a replacement - looks like you've got the ever-so-popular internal SD card death.
If you take it into a Bell store they'll send it out and you should get a new one sent back to you in the mail. Bonus if you have any scratches on the phone or anything.

Read some of the bell threads that deal with this sdcard issue. Some people went through samsung directly and didn't need a receipt.

I've had that problem, shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Flash the Rom JPC with a 512 pit, make sure re-partition is ticked.
Then you can go back the original rom you was on without a pit and without re-partition ticked.
Make sure you do all them steps
Hope this has helped!

I had this issue when flashing from JL2 to another
- some of your partitions got messed, first boot odin, put your phone into download mode and make sure odin see's it. Select JL2 in the PDA secion and click the phone boot loader update
- after it's flashed, find the speedmod from hardcore on xda and flash that, also in the pda part, make sure everything else is default so it's best to close odin and reopen it
- after you have the speed mod on you should be able to get back into recovery.
- almost there, flash the stock 2.1 on your phone this has some data that no other rom has, once you flash that you can flash JL2 over top once again and you should be good to go
- msg me if you have issues
is this issue still on ongoing?
try this (if you haven't tried it before):
1. Launch Odin
2. Put the necessary stock firmware + PIT file that goes with it
3. tick re-partition (not sure what partition you are currently in so that's why I'm suggesting repartition)
4. Go into DL mode and plug the phone in via USB
5. Flash it
6. Once done, go flash hardcore's latest speedmod kernel via Odin again
7. Go to cwm recovery (hardcore's speedmod will give you this)
8. wipe partition cache+factory reset + clear dalvik cache
9. reboot system (will take a several minutes to boot out of the Galaxy S screen)
10. Hopefully your problem is solved.
11. If my method worked for you, PM me. I'll ask you to give that $20 to a local charity of my choice. Street kids needs some love too in the new year
Had this problem yesterday. I wrote in this post how to fix it. Looks like similar advice to what others are telling you.

after self extract

background: i have an international i9000 galaxy s.
and my problems are:
im on my way to upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 using odin.
downloaded all the needed .tar and all that.
but after installation finished, my phone wont start up and only stuck on the first screen, showing galaxy s gt-i9000
only then i realized that i did not uninstall lag fix from my previous installation.
so i gonna need a big advise from the pro's to help me.
i was really tired on searching the solutions for my phone (the whole day today)
please, help.
http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5 this is froyo 2.2.1 flash it thru odin with all 3 files and 512 pit (included) and check the repartition box on odin. when thats done give the phone plenty of time to boot (10mins should suffice) then when thats done upgrade to a newer version (the one in the link is JPU)
i will give it a try (downloading it)..
I had tried to reflash it using odin to jm8, it will say on the android recovery
E:can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(invalid argument)
am i in a bigger problem?
i dont think so no... just flash the above firmware make sure you use PIT and RE-PARTITION they are essential.. then report back as to whats happened
okey.. still downloading it..
its kinda slow because i dont have megaupload or any downloading accounts.. hope u can wait coz i will surely report back.
additional info:
my phone does not have 3 button combo for recovery and download mode..
so i just made myself a home-made jig to make my phone run on download mode
does the jig work ?? have you never had the 3 button combo
the jig: perfect! =) it worked just like it should if u seen it on the net or youtube
the 3 button combo : need to root first, then use the 3 button combo fix.. then i will have the 3 button combo.. but if had to be rooted 1st, so how can i root if i cannot pass the boot menu?? hehe.. so jig is the answer..
mate, i just finished downloading the file u recommended, but it ask for password.. do u have the password?
samfirmware.com i think
on to it!!
installed JPU using odin and right now its rebooting..
do u mean that 10 minutes to boot (while it stuck on the s boot screen)?
so now i just have to leave it? then i will report back in 15 minutes.
hope this work..
the screen turn black after a while showing the s boot logo..
the sometimes its vibrating.. is that normal?
its not normal but there is life in your phone so all is not over yet...
did you use pit and re-partition ?? also Kies wasnt running on your pc was it ?? even in the icon tray ??
another thing.. you did try JM8 right ?? did you use pit and re-partition with that firmware aswel ?
i used pit 512 and tick re-partition on both JM8 and JPU..
i dont install kies but i have the driver for the galaxy s and working fine on 2.1.
i hope there is still life on my phone.. please help me make it awake.. really counting on you and any1 who can help..
most of all, thanks because still spending ur time on noobs like me =)
i will be here all night if i have to... your phone is gunna live im gunna make sure of it lol. im just having a toot thru the threads to find some alternative methods.

guest what, my phone now have 3 buttons combo!!
in recovery mode, i wipe data/factory reset
then wipe cache partition
then format internal sd-card..
do i have to apply sdcard:update.zip??
while the screen is black after stuck in s boot screen, the two buttons that is menu and back buttons turn on its light..
any ideas?
no apply update:zip is just to install signed zips like CWM. did you do full reset in recovery ?? is it still not booting ??? and is it still vibrating
how are you getting on ?? im on the edge of my seat here
i did the full reset in recovery..
it still not booting and still vibrating.. hurm.. can you teach me how
- to speedmod kernel using odin with suitable file to be downloaded?
while im downloading the how to describe whole procedures to install android 2.2.1 to samsung galaxy s..
i dont know how flashing a kernel will help but anyway. all you do is put it in odin in pda. NO REPARTITION AND NO PIT. then flash as normal in download mode.
also download stock JPY 2.2.1 what i use all the time if i have trouble. do the same in odin in pda NO REPARTITION AND NO PIT just pda. then tell me how you get on

Hi all I own an international i9000 (Hong Kong version),
My little woe started like this, I was uninstalling RyanZA's OCLF, when I encountered an error where I couldnt uninstall the ext2 tools. I read somewhere on a fix for it, where I downloaded a app called Mount /system (rw / ro) in which i set the system to RW, and then I was able to uninstall ext2 tools.
Afterwards I tried to install the Voodoo lagfix via odin.
After that, it refused to boot to the load screen (Galaxy S logo) and stayed in the i9000 screen saying restore operation then the device reboots itself.
Out of desperation I reflash my phone with my phone's 2.2 firmware "I9000ZSJPE" but that didn't work either, the first time it boots when I flash the firmware, I get taken to recovery mode, and I get this message:
update media please wait
E:Can’t mount /dev/block/stl10
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:can’t mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet,please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed
No matter how many times I flash the firmware, I keep getting this message...
Is there any way to get my phone up and running again?
Thanks!
Hey, dont panic, its no biggie... this happened to me last week, you need to find a firmware that contains 'dbdata' im unsure which ones do contain it... i know darkys 9.2 Odin version definately has it... thats the rom i used to fix my phone last week.
EDIT: found this.... this should work :
This one is easy to fix so don't panic.
Download this ROM and extract (Odin 1.7 and 512.pit are included), then do as follows:
-Start Odin and load 512.pit, don't connect the phone yet.
-Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked, don't change anything else.
-Load PDA.tar.md5 as PDA, MODEM.tar.md5 as PHONE and CSC.tar.md5 as CSC.
-Put your Phone on download mode and connect it, start flashing.
When flashing is done, the phone will enter recovery mode, if it get stuck at the same error, simply do a wipe/factory reset and reboot the phone, the phone shall boot normally then.

Get into download mode (volume down + Home button + Power button)
Download a firmware from samfirmware.com (preferably 3 files and pit)
connect the USB, Open up Odin, and flash it
ok i can get into download mode but what do you mean by '(preferably 3 files and pit)' ?
i have got a pit file and a tar file but only goes into pit and pda section..
where can i download those 3 files?
ive tried flashing the phone a few times. it says passed and completed but it turns on it just stays on the galaxy s screen. wont go into recovery mode but i can get into download mode.. :S

I have a similar problem...
The phone was 2.1 stock, then i rooted, made a backup in clockworck recovery, and flashed one of darky's custom roms and it was fine until i wanted to restore from that backup I made... if I remember corectly it did the restore part and couldn't boot after that... anyway i got into download mode (3 buttons method works) and tried to flash a stock firmware with odin. after that it couldn't boot. I tried it again, and still nothing, it just vibrates in a very scary way. Like it's trying to tell me something but can't because I killed it!
Please help! I would hate to tell my dad I bricked his phone...
There is a new XWJS5 (jan 2011) firmware on samfirmware.com that comes in 3 files
If that doesnt work or it leaves you with some sort of error 'Cant Mount dbdata' Flash an old firmware like JM8 with 512 pit.
Yeah, after Odin finishes and the phone tries to reboot, it ends up in the recovery (3e) and I see this:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy deafult media content failed.
I am downloading JM8 firmware now so we'll see how that goes... If anyone else has any ideas, they're most welcome to share
As I was looking at the recovery screen, I gave the "wipe data/factory reset" option a try... and it worked. I don't know how or why but now the phone works and has a XPY firmware... now I need to root it again and get to that damned backup...
My friend just gave me his Unbranded Samsung Galaxy S GT-i9000 to fix it.
I used the 3 button combo to access download mode then Odin it but when it boots to download mode it checks the internal mmc and returns an error exiting to stock recovery and I can't adb there no install from sdcard stuff. Need help with accessing download mode!
Error description:

Anyone can figure this out for me please?

First I hope you had ensured that it was actually an M110S and not another variation of i9000
yes, Korean phones always have everything in Korean, but once having a boot-able ROM, you can use settings menu to change to English. which repair kit did you use? , as long as its in download mode you should be able to flash again, either with Odin3 or heimdall. also what stage of flashing did you complete .
just flash again but make sure you have ample battery charge, as power failure or pulling out usb connection can break the bootloader and you will have a big headache , hard bricking it and only a technician with JTAG can recover it.

Ok, when you complete first stage does your phone boot up using the Eclair ROM? I normal circumstances it should? you say you completed all four stages, , was the flashing completed as successful in ODin3 and your phone rebooted into download mode?
If so try and check your USB port on your phone if you have any lint or anything that may be shorting them and did this phone got in contact with water?
cause what you say is rather strange for any unit as a successful flash can endup in some sort of boot process and never into download mode.

Firstly I flashed all the files through heimdall in ubuntu not Odin3.
And at no stage it returned any error. At the first stage the download mode was in english on the phone, it had a yellow triangle and below it was saying "downloading" after I flashed the korean .pit file the phone rebooted back into download mode but the text below the yellow triangle was now in korean. After every flash the phone returned into download mode.
I checked as you said, the problem is before I knew the "Home + Power" button combo to access the download mode the phone booted to Samsung screen and hung there and now it goes no where except the korean download mode.
Deleted!
Okay I've figured out the problem with my phone.
When I was on the first stage when I entered the m110.pit file along with the PDA file. The PDA file had a movinand.mst file, while flashing with odin3 it got stuck on the movinand.mst part and remained stuck forever so I plugged out and restarted in download mode.
I did some googling and found out that this problem is related to internal memory damage or corruption or something like that.
Anyway I finally found out a GB file on some forum I don't remember and flashed it over my galaxy S and it kind of worked. When the phone is powered on it goes to the 'samsung anycall' screen and stays there for a while and at the bottom of the screen comes a progress bar, when it goes full the bootanimation comes up and the phone boots into the ROM. Now the problem is there is no internal memory so no apps are downloaded plus whenever I restart the phone it comes to that samsung anycall screen with the progress bar and then the bootanimation but the phone starts as if it were new, like the initial setup accounts and all and also reverted back to korean language. Is there anyway to fix the internal memory problem or any alternative?
Thanks once again for helping me out this much.
Can you tell me what actually is written under your battery ? as what you are indicating about this units behavior is rather strange and have not come across this on an M110S, and mind you I have help a lot of people to solve their problems on M110S units and tens of thousands had downloaded the repair kit from my upload site. Why I am asking is because I am in doubt as to what is your model? is it an M110S, or i9000 variation or a chinese clone?
this must be cleared , in order to get your phone functioning as remedies for it will vary
Hey. Now I tried flashing with odin3 and here's what happened:
1. After the first stage it should boot into eclair but instead samsung anycall screen comes up and then it goes into recovery with the following output:
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
# MANUAL MODE #
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
E: can't mount /dev/block/st111 (invalid Argument)
ok this means you have a cache partition problem , meaning stl11 is the cache partition that is not mounting as such you cannot boot, so lets try this ( remove external SD card, sim card etc and Flash the cache.rfs as below..flash it twice and let me know the result.
Problem:- Getting this when you boot
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Solution:- Flash a cache.rfs file meant for your model as PDA with Odin. For i9000 i9000 cache.rfs file, For M110S M110s Cache.rfs
or Flash a Rescue Kit from My Android Collections

2. I proceeded to the next two stages and flashed the files but still the same.
well, when you get a problem like above, there is no way it can boot until it is resolved, but its has booted into recovery, that is what it should do, not go into download mode.
3. When I press the power button only it goes to the samsung anycall screen and then same happens what i described in 1.
Suggest you flash the cache.rfs for M110S, see if it solves it, If not repeat stage 1 again using the repair kit with the PIT and repartition TICKED using Odin3 see what happens.

When the phone is powered on it goes to the 'samsung anycall' screen and stays there for a while and at the bottom of the screen comes a progress bar, when it goes full the bootanimation comes up and the phone boots into the ROM. Now the problem is there is no internal memory so no apps are downloaded plus whenever I restart the phone it comes to that samsung anycall screen with the progress bar and then the bootanimation but the phone starts as if it were new, like the initial setup accounts and all and also reverted back to korean language. Is there anyway to fix the internal memory problem or any alternative?
Thanks once again for helping me out this much.

The back of my phone behind the battery reads:
MODELO: GT-i9000
FCC ID: A3LGTI9000
SSN: I9000T GSMH
I think its a M110S.

The scam artists who have converted M110S to i9000 use I9000GSMH and will not indicate the FCC or SSN
yours says its an i9000T and there is such a model, look http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9000T
so best to check your IMEI number , follow this link to identify your model
anyway so long as your phone works its not a serious problem, but wrong ROMs can give you differing problems so ensure your unit is M110S before using solutions in PIT STOP

The IMEI site says my IP is blocked. I tried proxying but still doesn't give me the result.
What about the internal memory problem? And sd-card not reading!!
How do I solve that?

Okay. And I went through your post in the PIT STOP for internal sd problem.
I just need help with installing CWM and getting root as I cannot install the kernel WF07 speedMode application on the phone as no internal or external card.
Thank you loads for your help!!

ok, the ROM you had flashed is obsolete, you nee to flash WF07 ( download link in PIT STOP) but before you do that, go into settings>storage and erase SD card, and Format where possible also you must follow the instruction given in flashing guide ( First post concerning repair kit) to the dot, meaning you need to factory reset (settings >privacy) as well as wipe everything and format everything prior to flashing WF07 and also wipe again after flashing.
Only after this you should look at other problems ( Internal SD card)
Its also best to USE the repair kit again and after flashing Ist stage , flash the WF07 ROM ( its the best ROM for the M110S)
