Well, if you have any clue how to help, please reply ASAP as I now have no phone.. Damn. :/
That's the risk we take flashing I guess..
Update:
Here's what happened when I tried to flash a JPA single file firmware.
I have already had a similar screen to this twice. First Brown and then Blue. Now this magenta..
Thank you to all of the replies I have gotten so far!
Edit: Problem solved. I tried many different firmwares, eventually, JF7 worked for me? I don't know why, but it just did!
I now have a fully functioning phone! Thanks everyone for your input! God bless!

Could you try another rom? maybe a 2.2.1 rom and if passes you can flash 2.3.3 again, seems have problem with repartition you also can try a single file rom means you should not activate repartition then check what will happen

try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=847765
its pretty much same thing and good luck mate
cheers

I agree that you should definitely try something that doesn't require partitioning, since it is the partition that fails according to the log, which then shuts down the whole process.
Of course, even without partitioning, something else may fail...but hey, this is the exciting part, remember? That whole "Turn it on and it just works" thing is SO overrated.

You could try with odin 1.3 I found the newer versions a little buggy.

Looks to me like odin cannot find the required files or they are the wrong files/format .

boot to strange screen.. brinked??

ok.. I own a Vibrant which I have flashed tons of time with no prob.
My friends Captivate I've done before and didn't have a prob.
He wanted something new so I attempted to flash a new rom to it. wouldnt boot it. Then tired a few things( not sure all I did.. this started a week ago)
But one of the things I think I did was flash a vibrant stock rom on it by accident.
ended up having to get it to download mode using a jig.
The one click stock captivate odin doesnt work for me.. tried several times with rebooting phone and PC.. always freezes.
got it to flash with another captivate odin and used the stock pit and tar that came with the download.
Now when it boots it looks like this.. see picture
Ive reflashed it a few time and always get the same results
PLEASE HELP

Does it get pretty far into the boot process and then do that or does it kernel panic immediately? If the former then try flashing one of the CWM flashable ROMs. I've seen a phone do that on stock, but work (sans cellular and GPS connectivity) when on a froyo ROM when the /efs partition was messed up.
as soon as I turn it on it goes to that screen
now Im having probs finding a CFW for odin lol err
Got it to work... Flashed again via Odin using diff files
Thanks

please help
anybody ? please
I'm pretty sure I've had this and just went through with flashing anyway. Maybe I'm mistaken and if you don't want to risk it, wait for more opinions.
What's happening when you choose a *.sbf for flashing?

i tried flashing anyway but still the device doesn't pass the white m symbol

the lastest..
do you have a different pc to try it on? rsdlite works on my laptopn while it doesnt really work on my moms for some reason. id try it on a different pc first. next i'd like to know what sbf file your trying to flash. it could be corrupt or something, try a test with another sbf file like from peter alfonsos site and see if it works.
***wow, apparently i have to wait 5 whole minutes before posting becuase im apparently a "new" user whos been here since may of 2010... i guess i should crank out more posts heh? (looks at watch, seems to be January 2 of 2012 )
You won't be able to initiate the flash process until the phone boots directly into bootloader mode, which involves a mostly black screen with small white text. Keep trying while holding down the proper buttons and you should be able to get there.

Post flash issues.

Hey guys, iv scanned the forum for hints and tips with my SGS since i got it a year ago and has always been very helpful, now iv hit a wall. I had the wonderful problem of trying to update the firmware and ended up getting bricked. So after scratching my head for a few hours and lots of huffing i sorted it. Anyway, i worked out how to flash it etc but now the phones gyro thingy wont work and i cant turn it to landscape and its now forever crashing and is now really slow. Help!?
Thanks

Feel allowed to learn and to try by youself
Try to re-flash same/different firmware with full wipe. That should fix the problem. Had same issues when were trying to downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2.1
Good luck.
You guys need a DUHHH smiley, i checked back to the firmware site i originally went to and discovered that i had picked what i think maybe like a universal firmware or something, scrolled back up the list and found the one for my network provider

Thanks very much guys

[Q][ICS] Camera problem

I have a problem. My camera doesnt work, and it looks very weird.
Im on Dark Knight 5.5
So is it easy to fix it?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
Try reflash rom without wiping anything, just go install zip from sd card and select the DK zip.
What exactly do you mean by it looks very weird? So it doesn't work at all or..?
Yeah, i might try reflashing the rom, but how about if I replace the camera.apk?
Heres a screenshot of camera.

Warning Camera failed!
Hi There...Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm a newbie, so I'd appreciate your patience...and please talk in lay-mans terms also, I seriously haven't a clue!
OK, here I go. I have a hand me down Samsung GT-1900 which I am enjoying, but sadly the camera doesn't work. I managed to go into camera setting and reset it and hey presto, I had a camera for a while. But now it's gone back to saying 'Camera failed' and won't allow you into settings like last time. Is there anything that I can do without having to take it in for repairs? I'll list the details like the others seem to do, but let me know if I've missed something
Firmware version - 2.2.1
Baseband version - I9000XXJPY
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9 [email protected] #1
Build number - FROYO.XWJS7
I have updated it with Samsung Kys already...
Thanks a million......................
..............All the best!!!
Ps- I don't know what you guys mean when you say 'flash' it.....so back to basics if poss!!!

Tab 7' P100 Sprint flash problem

Hello guys I am having a huge problem with my Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 7' the one for Sprint. Now I am not sure what happened but I got a "Samsung loop" screen and I decided to use "Stock Odin/Heimdall Files: Stock EF17 Tars" post to re flash the whole thing. Now after ODIN successfully flashed device now I do see Sprint animation and then I have this error. If possible you know what to do I'll be very grateful , because from tutorial above I was thinking tar+ pit should of made my device like new. But at first it looked like it did it and then BOOM .... this

I still can go to download and recovery modes and I guess it's matter of selecting proper tar+ pit ? I really don't know if possible help me out.
Thank you !
P.S.
To MOD, I post 2 identical posts because I simplyu could not find exact forum I need. Thank you for understanting
I'm in the exact same position, and I believe that it is our internal SD card that is damaged, that's why mmcblk0 (internal SD) fails to load, and why using ICS roms leads to the Encryption Unsuccessful bug.
The only solution I've found that makes sense in all possible ways is this HARDWARE fix but I'm a bit scared of trying it, so I'm currently working on a software only solution but its taking a while...
