I tried using Rynza's lagfix on galaxy I9000 running on 2.2. once done, the phone restarted but never came back. every time I see a black screen after the silver Samsung logo disappears. Tried re-flashing with the same rom i was having before, using ODIN. but the same issue persists.
please help. I think I bricked the phone....
if you can get it into download mode still youll be ok, as you can reflash the stock rom and try the lagfix again
you should try to flash xxjpu from samfirmware.com and pit.512 included and make sure that you tick "repartition"
hope it's going to help you
I was running I9000DDJP6. Once the boot screwed up, i re-flashed with I9000DDJP6 and I9000BVJJPD. both r froyo. As suggested, I shall try with xxjpu
I am using Odin 3 V1.3, what are the options should i choose? I mean apart from re-partition?
The phone is still keeps on vibrating with a black screen
Now when I flashed it...i got this error
On first boot I get
Can not mount / dev/block/stl10 (Invalid argument)
copy_dbdata_media: Can not mount DBDATE
Not Prepared your storage yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
default copy content failed half
Any idea how do i fix it?
Try fresh flash. 2.1 eclair with 512.pit. After that new firmware via odin.
do i need to re-partition?
guys the issue is fixed....my phone is back online.....thanks all of you....and special thanks to trustsyzaa....i flashed with xxjpu and its on again!!! CHEERS

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,

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.
the article i read:
can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"

I had similar problems. Try flashing a new CSC, MODEM and PDA. Using a different CSC is probably what worked for me.
Which firmware did you use?
I downloaded the
GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8
but cant seem to get the flashing to work, And there are many files to choose from
I had same problem when flashing JM8.
I skipped the PIT with tick repartition in the first place.
Did you use OCLF in your previous firmware ?
I then followed all steps correctly and all went fine.
So what was the solution for this. Ive tried flashing the original ROM back but it keeps giving me the same error. Ive tried repartioning, not repartioning, pit 512, different ROMS. Im stuck in this loop. Can someone please try to help me out?
EDIT: fixed. Flashed JM8 with .512 repart, then flashed with the Telstra DVJH3 ROM. Back to stock.
Same problem with a mexican Galaxy S.
Solution:
1) Flash JM8 with 512 repart. Note, Result: phone doesnot work at first boot, but at least try to load, discard error and enter in Download Mode
2) Flash JPM with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.1
3) Flash JPY with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.2.1
Result: Galaxy S with Working Froyo again!!
Thanks you all for sharing.
No need. Just flash stock XXJPU ROM... it's all you need since DBDATA is broken and that firmware contains the file, which isn't in most others...
go to my profile. and look for a thread called my trick to unbricking a soft brick or sonething download the file dbdata.rfs.tar and flash without a pit in odin

Now first, I would like to make it clear that I can still charge the Tab (batt icon still showing).
This all started when 2 weeks after installing Overcome 1.2.1 with a 2.0.1 kernel, I started getting random process errors onscreen. It got to the point where "process com.android.com" was force closing, rendering the phone unusable. I decided to flash the ROM to ROTO's JMI (Wipe). The phone boots but the errors were still there, as if they weren't wiped at all. Long story short, I went back and forth with a couple of ROMS that I have (even my stock JK1) and then it started booting straight to recovery and showing this:
verifying the filesystem. please wait.
verified the updated filesystem. finished
-- Wiping cache. . .

copy application failed.

Anyone who can lend their ideas on how I can get the Tab back will be much appreciated.
i had restore my tab to the stock firmware one week ago very easy:
-download the JMI (i have european tab version) from here
-unzipped and flash via Odin3_v1.7 with PIT file according with my screenshoot!
I'll try that one. Thanks!
Tried the above suggest by ovigt71 and now I am stuck at the glowing Samsung boot screen.
You will need to get the tab into download mode and flash a new rom/kernel with odin or heimdal.

Have you tried JMI or JMK? with JMI has to work! I already did that two times and works like a charm. I reverted from Overcome 1.2.0.....With JMK I didn't try yet. I come back to Overcome because is more faster! I'll try today to revert to JMK...just for testing ! you should try one more time! Flash with PIT file via Odin, but get this Pit file as per attachment, not the one which is coming with Odin !!! seems to work better!
Hi! Yeah, i tried that too. First with a Euro pit, and then that P1 pit. Didn't work either. I might have to bite the bullet and bring this in to the local Samsung repair center.
I've been trying to reflash my Bell Galaxy S from not booting up without success. I have tried Odin and Heimdall no less then 10 times with different suggestions in this forum. And I went from getting the "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" when the phone first loop boot to not booting at all after first Odin, then to "Can't mount /dev/block/stl10" - "Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" after another Odin.
After many Odin and Heimdall flashes now all I got is just a round inanimated "sun-ray" with the usb cable plugged-in or the Samsung splash screen without the usb cable.
I don't want to proceed further because I think the solutions I got from other posts are not specific enough for my situation.
I have read in many posts that you MUST disable lagfix before flashing with Odin or Heimdall. This I did not do because my phone started to loop-boot with the lagfix enabled.
Someone even mentioned here you can't flash your Galaxy too many times as every flash is registered in the phone, or you will void your warranty.....
My phone: Bell Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000M. Updated from Eclair to Froyo via Kies. I do not know the exact Froyo version but my mental image of the "About phone" info screen seems to agree with UGJK3. Rooted and lagfix enabled while running Froyo.
Firmware packages I have tried back and forth so far:
s1_odin_20100803.pit
DBdata.rfs.tar (and I followed this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953339)
I9000UGJH2
I9000UGJK3
I9000UGJL2 (last thing I did on Odin and flash with re-partition)
And I did check the re-partition box in some cases when flashing with Odin.
Hope I can get more help here so that I don't damage the phone any further.....
Did you unlagfix before the update? My guess (but I'm no expert) would be that your partitions are still in ext4 which isn't recognized by stock firmware. Could try flashing the an appropriate kernel for your rom which supports the format.
Also, when I have problems after flashing I usually flash back to my previous known working configuration. In this case it would be some eclair rom, and the kernel which supports your lagfix.
odin
find your stock rom from ramad, flash with odin 3 files with repartition and pit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
no problem to flash in odin with ext4 system.
its important to open odin and insert the files before you connect the phone, also take out the battery before you enter download mode can do the trick.
Removing lagfix isn't mandatory if you are using
re-partition option, since it's setting up all partitions and formatting 'em also. I have many times flashed with Odin without removing lagfix and never had any problems regarding it..

Thanks for everyone's suggestions.
I only applied lagfix after I updated from eclair to froyo. There was no further update after that. So my last working firmware should be a froyo. The bootloop was not caused by any software update process. I dropped the phone and the battery came off. I rebooted the phone (most icons missing from home screen after this boot) but the camera application gave me an error msg when I used it so I rebooted it again. It started to bootloop after this reboot.
I couldn't get the phone in the download mode without the phone battery. And if I get to download mode with the battery, plug the usb, then remove the batter, the phone turned off. so not having the phone battery is not an option to me.
So I did too more reflashes, screen shots attached:
(1) UGJG8
(2) UGKG3
The phone still looped with the circular bars.
I'm wondering if I should check the Phone Bootloader Update box at Odin. Or should I tried Darky Resurrection Edition rom?

I took your suggestion and flashed a rom that supports ext4. I flashed it with Darky's Resurrection 10.2. Now I got a boot menu after the reboot. But I got "failed to mount /sdcard (file exists)"
Any idea? thanks.
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

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.
