Is it normal for T model, or you just use weird and dangerous settings for fun?
Wiping EFS can lead to test-imei number and broken product code. Be sure you haver a backup of that folder before wiping that.
criskelo... I tried this and I didn't get anywhere :/
I had the same issue and it took me 2 hours to resolve (with a lot of pain, lol).
I've simply flashed the XWJM8 version using odin 1.3, no pit file and HENCE no repartition ticked.
It then booted to recovery console, because there was another error (can't remember which one cause I was too excited).
Anyway I did a wipe, cash clear and reformat SD card at the menu and let it boot.
After that I have flashed the latest version XXJPY also without PartitionInformation Table. (PIT). Then all the wipe and format stuff again.
I have now to go from scratch to setup anything again, but hey, at least my phone is alive again.
Some additional info. I also had that connection symbol on the screen with exclamation mark and triangle....so I thought I was done (due to trials with pit 512 which hung), but after removing battery and some trials I was able to enter download mode again....
Why happened that? I DON'T KNOW! I simply wanted to reflash the XXJPY stock rom, this time with pit512 and it lead to the topic of this thread!!!
This su**ed a lot, I didn't even modify something before!!!!
So: Less is even more! Don't fiddle with EFS and bootloader options it worked for me even without a pit!
Thanks to sardor for the initial idea, the XWJM8 seems to be a fixing rom for that when used properly, anyway to load a pit without to tick repartition is not a useful setting!
Well I was a long time reader at this great forum, IMHO the best regarding phone stuff, because there is the most useful knowledge shared.
I hope my first post will save other phones as well from sending it to repair.
Thanks I'm happy again..(let's see how long it'll last..lol...)
bricked my samsung galaxys and recoverd it
Hi I had exact same problem I totally bricked my i9000 Australian Optus version
I used
I9000DTJG4 firmware Australian Optus
With pit 512
And odin3 v1.3
Got all the files from
samfirmware . com / WEBPROTECT - i9000 . htm
Had to sign up but it’s free
However following criskelo's advice I unchecked the re partion box in odin
Even though the site above tells u to check it
And it worked
Thanks for everyone’s help on this thread.
Without you I would have had an expensive paper waited
Also the reason I got here in the first place as because I messed around with lag fix in clockwork recovery when I don’t know anything about it.
I was lucky this time but it’s really not worth playing around with things you doing understand.

I was messing with Darky's Rom which alway cause problems for me and found myself in the same situation as the first post.
What worked for me.
JM8 (2 files = code to PDA - Modem to PHONE) + Repartition + 512pit
after reset different error so goto download mode again then:
JPM + 803pit
Default OS reconfigures, Thank Fook
Awesome, thanks buddy! I have spent too much time trying to fix this phone and it all totally pays off now!
Here is the fix for the Bell firmware:
Background info: I orginally tried the Lagfix and bricked my phone, this is how I finally fixed it...
1. Using Odin v1.82
Put Phone in download mode
Use PDA: I9000UGJH2
Use Phone: Modem.bin
(both files came from samfirmware, I9000UGJH2 download)
Use: 512.pit(also from samfirmware at the bottom of the i9000 page)
Check Re-Partition, Auto-reboot, F. reset time, phone EFS clear and Phone bootloader update. I know everyone above says don't but I tried their way first and it didn't work, I would recommend you do try their way first and if no results try mine.
2. Using Odin v1.82
Put Phone in download mode
Use PDA: I9000UGJL2
Use 803.pit
Check only Auto-reboot, F. reset time
Good luck! I hope you do your happy dance like I did!!

you saved my phone after me corrupting internal SD! just did my victory dance though hands still shaking a bit
Just thought I would add to what got my phone back running again after having the Can't mount DBDATA error. It's a bell I9000M.
Used Odin 1.3 , Flashed Darky's resurection per his instructions pulled battery once complete, went back into download mode and flashed stock JL2 with Odin , re-partition un-checked and no Pit file and after that my phone was running again.
You can find Darky's Resurection Here!
Can not find the link for the JL2 stock rom but it's in the general section somewhere.
the xxjpu version worked for me
tlick repartition
add 512 pit
tick and add pda
tick and add modem
tick and add csc
go to download mode
connect usb
press start
Need help with Fascinate
Hey guys, I've read the above posts but frankly it's above my skill.
Some how I ended up with the same message that the OP got.
Can someone walk me through the steps to completely fix my phone and get it back to bone stock?
I'm not familiar with PIT and other files. I need someone to hold me hand on this one...

Hi there,
I am having issues the same way. I am unable to do something. Can some explain me the procedure how to do it.
From where can i get the files.
Please help me out
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
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.

hi XDA members ..
am kinda new on this stuff "noob".
i bought my sgs (GT I9000) from KSA with (and am not sure) I9000JPJG8 frimware.
the whole story is that i tried to upgrade to froyo but the process didn't when well and odin was stuck. so i ignorantly pulled the usb out, and had that phone->attention-> pc sign. but i was able to get to download mode. later i noticed that i used a I9000M froyo firmware.
anyway, i read through threads about semi-bricked sgs and found that i must reflash again my stock firmware, and that's what i did.
the odin flash is successful and the phone shows the galaxy s startup screen and then that loading sign and the loop starts ( loading sign appears - disappears -appear again ..etc) i pulled out the battery and powered it on to have a Galaxy s startup screen loop also.
i can't get to recovery mode, and here the names of the firmware i used to flash:
I9000JPJG8
I9000JPJPG
I9000JVJPF
I9000UGJH2
i need the firmware to have arabic support so that's why those above where my choices, but i wouldn't mind losing arabic for z sake of my new sgs
sorry if my english is bad
suggestions???!! and thanx in advance
have you been flashing these firmwares with PIT file ??
i think thats whats needed,
try to flash stock eclair 2.2 or froyo 2.2.1 with all 3 files and 512 pit.
i tried all .pit files to no avail...
and what do u mean by eclair 2.2 , isn't it 2.1 ??! and do u mean pit512 , 513 , 803 by the 3 files or what?
thx for replying
edit:
do u recommend certain odin version because i don't know which to use exactly ?
yea sorry i mean eclair 2.1
whenever i have trouble like you, i flash JM1 in all 3 files (phone pda csc ) and 512 pit, with the repartition box in odin checked.
works a treat everytime
i tried it but it stopped in z middle and odin said (FAIL)
have you made sure KIES is closed, even in the icon tray ??
Are you using odin 1.7 ??
also try to connect your phone direct to the motherboard
if it still fails, post me a screenshot of what odin looks like before you press start
oh my .. kies was closed in icon tray but there were some kies related stuff running when i opened the tasked manager. but unfortnately nothing happened , same things are still there.
here z pic , doing the method u mentioned before
h*tp://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/odink.png/
right the problem is you are using a firmware compressed into 1 .tar file
remove the pit file - uncheck re partition
remove phone
remove CSC
all you want is OJP_JG9.tar loaded into PDA.
A MAJOR UPDATE ..
while waiting for replies i tried this method in this post using eugene froyo :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10498057&postcount=14
suprisingly my phone now changed to vibrant on start-up and has z following :
froyo 2.2
baseband T959UVJK2
kernel 2.6.32.9
now that it is alive .. can i shift to z froyo 2.2 with arabic support or do u suggest that i stick to it ?
i think i'll change since everything is messed up ..
vol. buttons are reversed .. music is not played through speaker unless head-phones are used .. numerous apps crashing ..
man am soo confused
you have flashed samsung vibrant on your samsung galaxy
that is why you have these problems !
did you download a GALAXY I9000 ROM ?? if not do so now.
Flash it in odin.
If it comes in 3 files (PDA, Phone, CSC) add 512 PIT and select re-partition
If it comes in 1 .tar file. Load it into PDA and DO NOT USE PIT OR REPARTITION
hit start and done, its so simple.
you really ought to read instructions before you go flashing ROMs.
i really did but it looks like i didn't pay attention to GT I9000/M thing ..
ok thanx for z help and i'll reply back when done with z ROM
i hate to be demanding but can u give me links cause am sick of downloading wrong files ((
www.samfirmware.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
so now my phone powers off when connected with usb ... what shall i do ????
can you boot into recovery ? if so do a full factory reset and try again. and try to flash a rom in recovery (if you have 2e)
i have no idea why the phone powers off with usb.
does it do this in download mode too ??
did you flash a stock rom ?? if so what rom did you choose
i flashed eugene froyo
should i use I9000 method or vibrant method for recovery ??
i got into recovery when i flshed the vibrant rom back then .. :s
edit: a question , have i lost z root thing when i flashed the vibrant or not ?
first of all enter download mode . Try this method ( press home and volume down and insert the usb conected at pc ) , and flash darky resurection 9.2 or ezrom 2.2.1 , i think both have bootloaders , I prefer ezrom ( saved my phone after CM7 or miui )
Today, my phone became laggy and I restarted my phone, however it didn't boot past the samsung galaxy s i900m screen. It never reaches the animation screen.
This happened before and after hours of trying different methods i sent it in to get fixed but now it has happened again and i want to see if i can fix it myself.
I have tried to flash it with I9000UGKC1 without any PIT file and repartition unticked and odin had completed it successfully but the phone just cycles back into the boot screen.
Ive tried flashing it again with the same firmware and a 512 PIT file with repartition ticked and unticked but its always the same result.
Is there anything I am doing wrong or are there any other suggestions?
p.s I have rooted the phone and applied a lagfix.
Thanks in advance.
Rule one before flashing UNDO LAGFIX lagfix F**** your install .

Hi dude,
Try flashing with the ODIN included.
Hopefully, it will fix your problem
P.S. if nothing works try flashing Darky's resurrection edition
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=940671&highlight=[ODIN+ROM]
Good luck!
Thanks for the replies guys.
jje, i would disable it now but since it's bricked i dont think i can. Also i cant get into recovery mode. Im only getting into download mode because i bought myself a jig the last time this happened.
Nitro, i dont know what you mean by "ODIN included" ive been using odin to flash it.
What is Darky's by the way? Is it a custom ROM?
darkys is a custom rom... and Im pretty sure he meant he had attached odin for you.
Maybe try flashing JL2 with 512 and part checked..? does odin flash without an issue? and do you get any errors when trying to enter recovery?
Oh okay... well i was using odin 1.7 anyway
odin flashes without an issue and i cant get into recover because my phone is one of the unfortunate ones without 3BR.
I'll try flash it again as you said but if it doesnt work ill just go ahead and send it in to get fixed.
there are phones with no 3BR? I thought it was only 3 button download??? So odin flashed without any issues and you still cannot boot?
What firmware are you flashing?
Try JL2/KC1 maybe try a gb like JVO
usually the phones can't get into either.
i had to buy a jig to get into download mode.
ive tried KC1, JL2 and some others for android 2.1 and the same keeps happening. Odin flashes fine but the phone never boots
I'm just going to send it in to get fixed. I was just seeing if it was me doing something wrong or its just the phone and well it seems like its the phone.
Thanks for your help
if you can hit download mode you should be able to flash it, does adb work for you to get into recovery i think it's something like
adb reboot recovery.....not sure on that though, anyways, try flashing a new kernel, go to the dev section and flash hardcore speedmod then flash the rom again, at this point I dont think it matters so I would try using a 512 pit and tick repartition......just me though, i'd be trying everything before I sent it away
