Yes.
ODIN 1.7 (windows 7)
Checked Re-Partition
PIT file : P1_and_Hidden.pit
PDA : JME.tar (download from fus.samsung)
does it need csc and phone file or other pda file?

I would try using Roto-JMEv4 FULL. Use the P1_and_Hidden.pit and flash that together with repartition ON. That JME.tar I think is incomplete. My friend tried it before and it crapped out on him. After which, clear the cache and factory reset from Recovery mode to make sure everything is clean during boot.

Have you tried flashing Paul O'Brians rfs kernal and then flashing one of the other roms. As the kernal you have installed/flashed is ext 4 only. You need his rfs kernal to auto convert back to rfs. He links to it in his kernal post.
Hope this helps

Do you know how to go RFS stock rom from EXT4 on I9000?
ok so i had stock 2.1 update 1 , gt i9000T , and flashed I9000XWJS8 europe , i ACCIDENTALLY (or accidentally used a pit file) checked re-partition and now this retarted recovery screen with "your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
"copy default media content failed"
funny thing though even tho i get looped into that screen i can just use speedmod k13E and bypass it and get a forceclose error on the welcome screen and everything works i think didnt really test it , under sd card stuff i have 0.00 gb on the bottom is that correct? but when i enter speedmod and go clockwork and back to recovery 3e it shows the same error. anyone know how to get rid of that bs? and i used odin 1.7
mmm... internal sd card.
what i would do, (not saying you have to do this) is download a firmware with three files and 512 PIT, check the re-partition box in odin, then after the successful flash. boot into recovery and format my sd card. along with data / cache / dalvik cache.
then rebooting should be back to normal. apply a restore and everything is normal
Hello!
I am in the same situation with a Galaxy Tab 7 aka gt_p1000... I wanted to reset the tablet. No way through normal os procedure ->
I did a super silly "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmblkp2" from local root terminal
/dev/mmcblkp2 was the device mounted in /data yahoo I now need to format the partition... so now I should mkfs /dev/mmcblkp2... but how?
I tried to install the latest for europe p1000
P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJQ1_P1000XXJPZ_HOME.tar
Used odin repartitioning applying pit and tar for pda section, repartitioning. (tried not repartitioning too)
I then applied dbdata.tar not repartitioning.
Completes but when rebooting gives this message as darkfangerex5
"your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions"
"copy default media content failed"
SO your suggestion is what I'd go for..
"download a firmware with three files and 512 PIT" on samfirmware I have no way of knowing if there is any similar rom config.
Can you point any rom to use? My tablet is stuck at the moment ((
@darkfangerex5
did you solve your problem and how?
Thanks for any help

SOLVED
I solved using Overcom GB safe stock procedure.

Need help!
Thank you
You have a gingerbread bootloader installed?
Any active lagfixes?
I had a similar issue after moving from cm7 back to stock-rom. This worked for me:
* flash only the .pit (no pda) with repartition ticked.
* go to downloadmode again and flash the rest (without repartition ticked).
Hello,
after update to stock I9000XXJVP from samfirmare with MD5 check (Odin 1.7, 3 files rom, pit 512, with Re-Partition, auto reboot and bootloader update) all was fine until I reboot the phone.
I got boot loops.
I again flash the phone with the same rom and same settings as above. After first reset I have:
Successfuly installed package.
Successfuly copied media files.
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Data wipe failed.
Successfuly applied multi-SCS.
Then I choose wipe data/factory reset from Android system recovery (3e) and got the same error:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
then I choose wipe cache partition and hit reboot system now.
And again boot loop...
Please help, I'm searching for sollution from two days.. I tried to flash others roms but with same result...
Try flashing back to froyo or even ezy base froyo (preffered), then flash ginger rom with bootloaders, flash speedmod kernel (latest) convert everything to ext4 and do a factory wipe in cwm recovery, then custom rom. Works for me everytime.
Goodluck

You can always reflash with .pit and repartition, to fix such partition issues.

I flashed with Odin with 512pit, re-parttion and bootloader update: 2.1 Eclair JM1, 2.2.1 Froyo JPU, 2.3.3 Ficeto_Deodexed_JVH_I9000_ODIN, and stock 2.3.4 JPU.. none of this work, every time boot-loop
I tried speedmod kernel and turn off all lagfix'es. Now all is in RFS.
Why I should convert everything back to ext4 ??
I think my problem is with internal SD-Card.. Flashing ROMs and KERNELs do not touch internal SD-Card.
From recovery I can't format internal SD-Card (memory):
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
I have the same problem, Anyone can help?
I had this problem the first time I tried to install a new rom after rooting my phone. There's a thread somewhere with a solution (in the Dev section I think, if I remember rightly) which I followed and it worked a treat.
Just install firmware PDA-I900XXJP1 and pit file 512 with odin. Tick Re-partition. I'm not sure if any other stock firmware works but this is the one advised in the thread and it's the one I used, successfully.
This will get you back to an older version of stock Froyo. From there you can root again and flash an updated rom.
Sorry, it won't let me upload the files for some reason but they can easily be found in the stock rom thread.
Hope this helps.

I've flashed loads of roms with and without re-partitioning and it hasn't fixed this problem yet. I also tried to use 'parted' in an adb shell but it was also unable to fix, change or remove the partitions on the internal sdcard.
I think it must be a hardware-related problem.

For the "Format Failed /dev/block issue
I had the same issue, 4 issues in fact:
rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
Deleting meta data
Data Wipe Failed
I was giving up hope then
I tried this method:
I attempted to wipe all i could: dalvik, cache and data.
I flashed 'pit_512' on its own with repartition checked via Odin.
Back to download mode and flashed GB stock rom 2.3.6
Rooted, again via Odin
Then went into CWM recovery, went to 'mounts and storage' and formatted every option apart from the 'Format Boot' option. All formats successful which was different from before.
Formatting completely factory resets the phone so complete data loss!
Another flash with 2.3.6.GB stock together with the pit_512 repartition checked. (before reflash I did the 3 wipes again, Dalvik, cache, data)
After rom flashed I rooted then tried the formats individually again through CWM out of interest to see if I got those same 4 errors and BINGO!! all went without any problems!!! :good:
Might be worth a try??
:fingers-crossed:
Hope this helps.
format failed
When I use the reset to factory default from the menu I switch to the 3e reccovery and get the error: rfs format failed
But when I use the CWM Recovery and select wipe data/factory reset all format item are OK.
so, what's the difference between 3e and CWM factory reset?

It`s Samsung galaxy ace s5830
Dear all, I tried now for two full days to resurrect my i9000, with no success so far. I hope one of you can give me a hint where my problem/error lies.
A bit of background: The phone was bought without a contract (no branding) and with android 2.2 (or 2.1?) installed. Afterwards I upgraded to ginger bread with kies, all worked fine for months.
The day before yesterday (after I installed and updated some apps) the phone was quite slow, so I wanted to reboot it. The booting was looped for a couple of times, and as it made it finally to boot, it was almost not reacting anymore. I uninstalled the apps I recently installed and then the phone froze. Now the phone wasn't able to exit the boot loop anymore. I searched this and other forums and learned about recovery mode, download mode, flashing and bootloaders and all these things. And indeed, in the recovery mode, there was an error:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format and reboot actions
Media files copy failed.
Finally I convinced myself, that simply - for what ever reason - android needs to be reinstalled. Long story short: I tried different versions (from 2.1 to 2.3.6) with bootloader, with 1 or 3 files, with different versions of Odin3 (1.7, 1.82, 1.85), with or without repartitioning (pit files 214 [EDIT:I meant 512!] and 803, the later succeded as well, but gave me error messages in the recovery mode). All with the same outcome: Now the phone boots up to the blinking S logo ("splash screen"?), and stays there forever (2h+), while the S is not stuck, but blinks and turns b/w in circles. I let it do this over the last night (connected to my laptop, so it would not decharge) and the next morning it was off, so I guess at some point after 2 hrs it gave up. I found a couple of comparable posts, but my situation I found no where... (not really a boot "loop", neither gets it stuck, but can't complete booting plus wiping and/or flashing, no matter which version, seems not to help).
If any one kept on reading until here and knows something that might help (and/or that I have overlooked so far) I would be more than grateful for a hint!
Thanks a lot!
try flashing the 2.3.5 JVT Firmware with 512.pit and repart. I do not know any firmware which uses those strange .pit files you used(except one or two very old Fimrwares which are using the 803.pit file).. If the phone doesn't boot after doing that you can try formatting your SD in recovery. According to that Errormessage you get in Recovery it could be possible that something is wrong with yout internal Memory. Formatting the internal Memory could solve your problem. After doing both your Galaxy might boot again. If not it could be an Hardwareissue too. In this case just flash the latest official Firmware and send it to samsung and let them repair ist Attantion: All Files like pictures, videos or whatever on your Internal-Memory will be deleted if you format your internal memory!(that apps are deleted after flashing schould be known by everyone )

no success
Thank you two for your fast answer!
Unfortunately it didn't do the trick
As I wrote 214 I meant the "normal" 512 pit file (d'oh!), sorry for that, orangerot.
I noticed something strange: I left the phone turned off for some hours today, and after the reboot there was again the boot loop I had in the very beginning (until the white Logo), and going to recovery mode there was an error:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI men
u for format and reboot actions.
Media files copy failed.
I tried a wipe that led me to the following:
Code:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.
asking google for that I found a thread (in german) on handy-faq.de (samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum/225311-geraet_gewiped_bootschleife), in which the contributors came to the conclusion the only way would be (and was in the end) the samsung repair service.
Interesting is, that after a reboot I was again at the same position as before (glowing S) and no error message in the recovery mode. From this starting point I tried again to flash (with JVT, 512.pit through Odin3 v1.85, as you suggested), with no visible change of behaviour: still booting only until the glowing S, no error in recovery mode, wiping doesn't help but finishes without error.
If anyone has some additional idea I would appreciate to hear about, otherwise I guess I try to flash an official Android version (any idea how to find out which is the most recent official version updatable from kies?), and bring it to the samsung partner.
Thanks a lot!

Ahh man...
Okay, there are a couple of more things you can do,
1. Try darky resurrection rom V9.2 (I think your issues maybe due to some lagfix problems/mounting filesystem incorrectly etc.) Try the 9.2 in odin, make sure that you have checked the "Repartition" as ON and have a PDA and a PIT file selected.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
2. And if the Darky rom 9.2 does not work, then this thread is your best shot (you will need at least some linux experience for this to be helpful):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845708
If all that doesn't work, then I don't know what will.... I'm sorry.. I don't know what else you could do. Try a repair centre as a last resort I guess.
Did you try to format your internal sd? Wiping and formatting are two diffrent things.. And in your logs I only see that you are wiping your data.. So just try formatting your internal sd. i think you will find it under "mounts and storages" in cwm. I've read before that this may help to solve this problem. if this does not help it could be that your internal sd is broken. In this case you have to send it to the samsung repairservice. but make sure you flash the official JVI firmware to remove the clockworkmod, so they cannot see that you have flashed your mobile cause if the recognize it they may refuse tu repair your mobile

After I installed Darky's resurrection 10.1 I had troubles to get in recovery mode... and loads of errors the few times I managed... last attempts didn't bring me to the modified but the "original" recovery menu. I think I don't dare to try Darky's ROM 9.2 after this experience. And for messing around with EXT4 and Linux I don't feel ready at all, thanks though for the link! Now I am back on a stock version and again the old picture.
Did you try to format your internal sd?

I thought when I use the pit file and check the repartition box it will reformat the internal sd?? If not... this cwm... I didn't quite get what exactly it is. Isn't it an android app? How can I use it, when I am not able to boot?
And then: is JVI and JV1 the same? If not where is the difference?
Thanks again! (And sorry if my questions are silly)
No, repart only reparts the system partition off the phone. the internal and external SD are not going to be formatted while reparting. If it would behave like that all your photos, videos, folders and so one would have been deleted. Apps are deleted because they are saved on the system-partition.
CWM is a recovery which has some more features than the stockrecovery. You get it with flashing a CustomRom(they usually all have CWM) or an CustomKernel(e.g. CF-Root, Semaphore etc.).
You can acces CWM by holding Vol-up+homebutton+powerbutton at boot and release them when the Galaxy GT-I9000 screen appears. Its just like getting into the Downloadmode but instead of pressing vol- you have to press vol+. Once you are in CWM you navigate to mounts and storages(with vol-up/vol-down you can go up/down and with the powerbutton you select an option) and format your internal sd there. After that everything may be fine again If not you have to send it to the samsung-repair-service after flashing the official JVI-firmware to delete CWM and so on. JVI and JV1 are not the same.. JVI ist the last official firmware(2.3.3) while JV1 is a leaked, unoffical firmware. So you have to flash JVI befor sending you phone to samsung while JVI ist the last official firmware.

Dear orangerot, dear B-1P
thanks for your patience!
Then I knew the cwm, I just didn't know it was called that way.
last attempts didn't bring me to the modified but the "original" recovery menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the "modified" recovery menu I talked about was the cwm. In the last attempt with Darky's Rom I couldn't get back to that cwm... maybe I released the 3 buttons at the wrong time? Don't know.
However, in the mean time I gave the phone to a service partner of Samsung, and they sent it to Samsung. Today I got it back and everything works again. Unfortunately they didn't give any details on what they did (except for new installation of the OS, which didn't help for me...).
So for me this problem is solved (for now...)
Cheers!
