[Q] phone goes to black screen - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I have the Bell Samsung Galaxy S I-9000
I think I screwed up my phone by trying to put to an update the CSC using Odin
After rebooting, it was always rebooting to the recovery mode.
when I reboot the phone, the boot animation will come up but when it will try to go into the OS my phone will shake and my screen will go black and will shake every 10 sec
I tried to restore my phone with the previous Rom that I saved but no luck.
Tried to reflash with Odin the stock firmware but no luck
I found something on the forumt to use Odin and click the re-partition and have the 512 Pit file and reflash the rom but didn't work.
And also when I flash the stock rom it will reboot in recovery mode and give me this error 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 me nu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed
=========================
Also I have tried to format the internal memory too and wipe data/cache
is their any other suggestion that you guys can suggest to do
Thanks
Paco

AHHHH false alarm I did something else and it worked
I did a flash with rom + pit + modem + CSC and I have put the option re-partition and the other 2 option in Odin
and now no more black screen

Advice needed

Hi, i managed to get my phone bricked (phone - exclamation mark - pc logo) and then able to get to download mode and re-flash JPM. After flashing complete, it went to recovery mode and the below error shows:
update media...
e:can't mount \dev\block\st110 (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.
The phone manages to boot to Galaxy logo pass the flying objects, but stuck at the "S" logo and then vibrates a couple of times before switching off.
Any idea how to proceed next?
flash JM5 with 512 pit and re-partition enabled
then flash JPM with re-partition DISabled

did you have a lagfix enabled beforehand?
no speedmod is the first one

then that's what caused it. you should have disable your lagfix before flashing the new rom. i'm not 100% sure on this but i think you need to do a factory reset and reflash and repartion. maybe some more knowledgeable could answer that one though.
Maybe Ur other kernel not support ext4 filesystem.
reflash speedmod kernel and disable lagfix then flash Ur other kernel.
I've had the same problem. The pit file I used was wrong. I was using 513 instead of 512. Try reflashing eclair. And make sure the region is the same.
i disabled the lagfix before flashing the new kernel...anyway guys i got is sorted finally...i repartitioned and flshed XXJPO using odin...thank god it worked...thank you all for caring

I'm in the same boat. Is there any way you can help me?
I've flashed xxjpo using odin but still have the issue.
First, I set up the PIT using 512. Repartition, auto reboot a f restart all checked, the two below, not checked. Connect the phone, run it, disconnect the phone, pull battery, start into download mode again.
Next, I flash the pda with the xxjpo firware from the stock firmwares section here. I unchecked repartition, but left the other two, and I'm back at square one. Is there any way you can walk me through how you got back to a booting OS?

Flash JM8 or JM9 with ODIN. Then you got recovery e2. Go to recovery witg the 3 buttons conbo and wipe then reboot. Afterwards try to flash jpy again.

[Q] Screwed up after flashing

EDIT - See bottom of post - I solved it!
After trying out CyanogenMod, I decided to flash back to JL2 on my Bell I9000M.
Reading the directions to flash back it said just to flash using Odin with repartition. So I do so using the JL2 firmware from samfirmware.com.
After rebooting, however, I'm presented with the following:
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 me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.

Formatting and wiping using the recovery menu has no effect. Rebooting gets me to the "S" logo, but it just sits there and vibrates every so often after that. Reflashing has no effect, and I've tried using PIT files to no avail.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: I was able to flash hardcore's kernel and boot into ClockworkMod, and I formatted all the partitions there, but it still throws the same error.
EDIT: No need to respond to this. I figured it out, and I'll do a writeup on how I fixed it for those who may end up in the same predicament as me.

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).
