Hi,
Trying to unbrick my phone is driving my mind totally mad!
So far I have tried installing several CF roots with ODIN and tried to reflash the ROM with I9000XWJS3. All of them lead to no success, just a black screen and the phone vibrates every 10 seconds.
Trying to find information on this forum is easy.. but trying to put all those pieces of information together is somewhat impossible for me.
I am from the Netherlands and bought this SGS 2nd hand from someone who has rooted it. However I have no idea how that person has done that with which piece of software. I also have no idea what build number it currently has. However I do know there is no sim-lock, because the owner bought it from the KPN telecom provider and has no problems using a sim-card from T-mobile.
I am able to get into the download mode (3 button combo thingy) and Odin can successfully flash the ROM of my SGS.
Now what I need to know is which PIT, ROM, CSC, Modem files etc. I need to make this phone working again. Preferably I'd like to run it on Froyo 2.2.1 with Android market installed.
try downloading the firmwares from samfirmwares.com
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913 download the firmware from here. preferably JM8 flash that thru odin with PIT and REPARTITION and that should do the trick. then you can flash over a new rom like JPY (2.2.1)
I've successfully unbricked my Galaxy with the 'Froyo ROM that does not brick' here - "h t t p://w w w.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html" (Can't post as actual link because I'm not allowed to yet, just copy and paste the bit between the speech marks into a new window and remove the spaces).
As per previous poster's instructions; flash through Odin as PDA with PIT and REPARTITION (Original instructions for this ROM said not to use repartition but that didn't work for me)
You should then be able to Odin flash any new rom you like, but when you do DON'T use REPARTITION or PIT, otherwise your phone will just get bricked again.
I feel that flashing the firmwares which needs partition is safer and better than those that isn't....for my case I prefer flashing JPU than JPY or JPX...it works every time I got my phone semi-bricked, hehe...
Hello,
Yesterday i had similar problem ater trying to flash Darky's resurrection edition.
After the boot i had a black screen just like you.
Here's how i finally unbricked:
Download
- PIT 803 file multiupload.com/6JX2LEUCTY
- I9000XWJS3 pakcage from samfirmware.com (european for my case), PIT803 version : hotfile.com/dl/100247999/301207f/I9000_XEN_I9000XWJS3.rar.html
(The pwd is samfirmware.com)
The package I9000 XEN I9000XWJS3 contains 3 file (which i think is the key, trying to repartition with only one PDA file seem to soft brick the phone)
In Odin, tick repartition, for PIT select the PIT 803 file
For PDA, choose I9000XWJS3-REV03-ALL-low-CL830616.tar.md5
For CSC, choose GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
For PHONE, choose MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
After the flash, your phone will reboot in rescue, unplug it and do a wipe/factory reset, then reboot and you should be ok.
The goal was only to unbrick my phone, but i'm totally happy with this firmware for now, my phone is a lot faster than before, and i don't feel the need of a lagfix anymore!!
Please note that this is just my experience, and you should wait for more advanced users help.
I have a Rogers i896 build 10.10 running froyo. I just tried to restore back to stock rogers froyo JL1 using Odin 1.81 and using a 512 pit file. I entered into download mode and the odin process complete then the phone reboots.
Now it entered into android system recovery <3e> . with this menu:
Reboot system now
reinstall packages
delete all user data
delete cache data
format internal sd-card
it also says the following...
update media, please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

E:copy_db_data_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

I'm a complete noob at this.. I read a lot and thought i'll give it a shot to flash a new rom.
Update. Tried to reflash, didn't work.
Tried to reflash with Stock Rogers Eclair, didn't work just went to the Recovery <2e> same error message with can't mount ....
I think this is bricked...
Any way around this?
did you just use the pit file and thats it? did you use the tar file in the pda slot as well?

My phone can't even be turned off. I tried all the options in the menu and it gives me the same error message.
I think the only way to turn it off is if I remove the battery

Sounds like a bad flash, can you get into download mode and try a reflash?
I just pulled out the battery to turn it off, and managed to get to download mode again. This time I tried odin 1.7. Odin says passed... but still the same error message
One thing I noticed that the re-partition check box on odin is checked when i put the pit file in there. I didn't realized it was checked so I clicked start with that on. It wasn't checked when I first opened the program. I just tried to reflash with it off, and same result
Is there no one here that can fix it?
I did some more searching around and found this post from the i9000 forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8683455&postcount=7
I guess I was suppose to uncheck re-partition and the stock rogers roms does not include cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs file inside.
Anyone know if there's a way to get a ROM that includes those files in them so I can reflash it?
here i used this stock 2.1 with odin 1.7 and it worked.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19201431/SGH-I896_UXJI2StockRogers2.1.zip
your phone isnt bricked. bricked is a specific thing and has a special screen.
flash 2.1 when doing stock. 2.2 stock includes 3e recovery and it requires all update.zip files to be digitally signed. there is a way around it but its extra steps. instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213
I tried to flash to stock 2.1 with odin but same thing happened.
It boots into recovery and i can't do anything... except its 2e instead of 3e that i saw before.
whats the exact filesize of the tar you used?
also if you dont re-partition, you dont need a pit file. (the p stands for partition)
The exact file size for the TAR is 238 MB (250,420,736 bytes)
I didn't know PIT is re-partition until after the fact.
Ok, I'm going to see if I can get my phone in the same condition as yours and then fix it. BRB...
Broke it and fixed it. Details in a sec.
Ok my steps to break it:
Flashed UXJL1 with Odin 1.81 using 512.pit and repartition checked.
Boot lands in recovery with can't mount error.
Steps to fix.
Used Odin 1.81 to flash the JH2 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36.
Did not check partition, did not load a pit file.
I've seen that error before but I couldn't remember how I fixed it. I think the key is simply to Odin flash 2.1 firmware using no pit and no repartition. I chose the package above because it doesn't change your boot loader and is compatible with newer phones.
flash into the AT&T 2.1 with the one click, what you probably did was Odin into the rogers 2.2 without turnning off lagfix. for some reason the rogers version doesnt actually repartition your phone.

He doesn't want to root it... he just wants to be on the same or similar firmware as I'm on (i.e. a stock, stable, UK, unrooted, no "lagfix", etc, 2.2.1).
He has Odin. He has the Windows drivers installed. But I have some questions.
I'm on JPY which has been perfect for me. Zero problems. Is there much advantage with JS5? What has changed/added between JPY and JS5?

Does he need just a pit file, or other files (e.g. tar) too?

JPY is the lastest UK rom pointless using anything else until its out for the UK
People here just love new numbers and letters.
if he is going from branded would be best to use a pit file. ( pit 512)
then flash the 3 JPY files.
I tend to debrand phones when I get them in as I don't think its fair being stuck on older versions.
So... download Odin + PIT from the top of that page I linked. Flash the 512 PIT using Odin with repartition. Download the JPY firmware from the same page. Flash the 3 files in there. Reboot. Done?
What about clearing cache? Factory reset?
Anything else?
Flashing with Odin will do the factory reset.

He's been trying the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
He selected repartition, and flashed the PIT file + JPY_JPY_JPY.tar at the same time (although I believe we've tried one at a time too).
Now when he reboots his phone it doesn't boot - it just vibrates.
He's tried going into recovery and clearing the cache, user data, factory reset, etc.
He can still get into download mode and recovery.
Any suggestions?

Different to how I get them direct for Samsung. So wouldn't know sorry.
Sent from my GTI-9000 Using that XDA app thingy
Can we get the JPY firmware direct from Samsung?
No, but samfirmware.com has all those firmwares.
Yeah they have JPY. However it's just a 512 PIT file. Is that all he needs?
Thats what i flash JPY with .
Error solving with a rom install i usually wipe everything flash back to eclair with 512 pit and repartition . That works i then flash to Froyo no repartition .
jje
Still no joy
OK, so as per the instructions above (I think), we made sure the SIM and SD card are removed. Connected the phone. With Odin, ticked Repartition, and then flashed the 512 .pit file. Waited until we saw the green box in Odin with Pass on it. Unplugged the phone and took the battery out. Put battery back in and booted the phone into download mode. Clicked Reset in Odin. Made sure re-partition was unticked. Made sure the pit file is no longer selected. Added the JPY_JPY_JPY.tar to the PDA section. Plugged in phone. Clicked start. Left it until we saw green pass. On restarting the phone, it to boots past the Galaxy S splash screen and tune then there's a single vibrate followed by a double, which then repeats.
Did we do something wrong? We noticed in Recovery there is an error displayed:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
What else can we try to get to JPY?
The firmware from samfirmware.com and the firmware linked from the firmwares post on XDA (mentioned earlier) both give an identical JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. We've been unable to find any firmwares with the three JPY files in it. Anyone have a link? Or any other things we can try?

You only use the PIT file and choose re-partition when you have the 3 separate flashing files.
When you have the singe JPY tar file you do not select re-partition and do not use the PIT file - do the following:
put phone into download mode
open Odin
choose your single JPY file as the PDA
make sure "re-partition" is UNTICKED
DO NOT select your PIT file
connect your phone to PC via USB
Odin will detect your phone - click start
let Odin do its stuff until your phone restarts
you are now on 2.2.1 stock
I always do an immediate factory reset.....it seems to sort out any lags or issues that you occasionally get after flashing
good luck!
When he tries to just the .tar without repartition or .pit, Odin fails.
When he tries to format the internal SD card from Recovery it says:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
It could be that repartitioning previously has messed stuff up? Maybe the wrong PIT (we used 512)? I've read in a few places that Clockwork recovery can fix this. Thoughts?
Or is there a 3 file JPY option we can use?
So, according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784958#8180949 it seems we messed up the partitions by using the pit file originally with repartition. If JPY isn't a full firmware we'll need to flash back to a full firmware to fix it. For example he says "The reason for this screwup is because the JH7 tar package does not contain params or dbdata files, it's not meant to be a full installer- it's meant to be an upgrade. When you partitioned you deleted your existing dbdata and params partitions on your phone, so when JH7 tried to set them up they didn't exist."
We're going to try JPU (somewhere said that's a full update) with 512 pit + repartition, then if that boots update to JPY (no pit, no repartition).
FIXED!!!
After putting the three-file JPU on it from samfirmware.com with 512 pit and repartition, it booted up into 2.2.1 fine. We then flashed the JPY tar (no pit, no repartition), and it's working.
Thanks for the help guys.

Sorry guys for being a noob.
Story is my tab is rooted and flashed with the OVERCOME RC 2.0 GOLD rom from following alterbridge's thread procedures. Beautiful rom, no complaints.
However the screen has been acting up lately with the finger held down and screen shaking issue.
Ive searched and searched and have concluded its a hardware problem.
I need to flash back to stock for warranty.
For being the noob I am, I've downloaded the stock files....but I don't know how to flash it back.
Attached is a picture of a .zip file of the files inside the zip. Do I use ODIN to flash back? What are the procedures? What file is associated with which box in ODIN? Sorry I just don't have a clue. Or do just throw this into my tab's SD memory and update from CWM recovery mode?...
Do I use superoneclick to unrooted after back to stock rom?
I just don't want to brick my tab...Thanks for any help...
The stock ROM should be a 2.2 FROYO, and the ROM I'm on right now is on Gingerbread...if this makes any difference...
Use this guide first flash with odin it tells you how to flash with odin at the bottom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=894763
and after flash whatever froyo rom you want make sure you got the one that shipped with your device if its going back for warrenty again flash with odin and your done.
Edit dont forget the thanks button if this hellped you .
Thanks for the link.
So i have the .pit file for the PIT section.
No need for phone and csc section i assume.
But for PDA section i dont have any files available? From my attached picture. i only have a data.tar.gz file. Im not sure what that file is? do i just rename it to .tar??? please help
Sorry not sure on them files i think you can use heidmal with those files do a search on here for that
Anyone???
What do I use? ODIN? HEIMDALL? I need help please.
From overcome gold you will have to re-stock to froyo. Which means a repartiton with pit file + phone + modem files. You will need odin for this.
I would suggest flash back to a safe froyo rom first - as per jutleys link above. Then flash back to your original firmware version.
From the pic above looks like you have unzipped the full.zip. For Odin You need the full zip in the pda section, modem zip in the modem and the pit file in the pit section. Download full zips from roto's link above.
Then check out roto backup thread (shows how to restore using heimdall / odin). As i havent flashed back to my original firmware yet, someone else could advise better. I am assuming for stock purposes you need to put the original stock firmware zip into pda section of odin and leave everything blank and then flash away.
Cheers

That pic is from a firmware from samfirmware? It has the bootloaders in it so be very careful as flashing bootloaders can cause bricks or be protected ones. As i said before, i think you flash the full zip in the pda section and leave the rest blank i.e no need to unzip.
But do so only after flashing using roto safe froyo rom.
As for the files above, It might be wise to take out the bootloaders then rezip & flash but i would wait on someone with a bit more knowledge just to confirm this.
As long as they are the original files for your firmware, you should be ok.
Thanks for your help ezynow.
UPDATE: I've successfully downgraded from Overcome Gingerbread to Overcome Froyo now.
Now it's just a matter of getting my head wrapped around this stock ROM right. The order, and where the files should go.
Anyone else would like to share their insight? This is the file I downloaded, and this is how it is presented to me. I just need someone to help me sort out what is what.
Thanks.
UPDATE #2: Tried re-zipping and converting to tar file. ODIN failed. Re-zipped into tar again without the data.tar.gz file because I don't know what it is, and failed again.
I don't know what to do anymore. How do I get this to work?

anyone?
UPDATE #3: Tried loading the whole .zip file from CWM. No luck.
Who's your service provider?
I sugest look for another stock rom here that is in the correct format i am sure i seen a post showing all stock roms somewhere use odin
Link deleted. It mentions to use pit file + full zip in pda section . Then says out of date.
Also did you check rotobbackup method thread - use heimdall and flash individual files from your extraced zip files. Assuming you can avoid flashing bootloaders you should only be a soft-brick if anything goes wrong and download mode still available.
Forget about using cwm for anything stock related.
Sum1 who has reverted back to stock surely can help out here!
p.s what was your original firmware version?
I have succesfuly downgraded from gb overcome gold to arabic froyo using the file from samfirmware. First try resulted in stuck at samsung logo but I was expecting that due to the ext4 partition. A cache wipe and factory reset in recovery solved that problem. Also I observed when going to recovery that there were errors in red that are coming out complaining of access problem to certain files. Since I am able to boot I then proceded to format the internal sd. After that I again flashed using the same arabic fw. No problems so far even kies sees my fw as the latest.
Here is the procedure I followed-change the files according to your fw version

Thanks a lot for the help guys.
I will try going to another stock firmware later this afternoon.
However, the firmware I really need is P1000MUGJJ7 (Bell's stock firmware).
The files I have in hand are apparently the files for this firmware, but how to restore it, I have zero clue. These we're sent to me by a member on this forum.
I think the member said that these were created from roto backup.
I have looked everywhere else for this firmware version but it's NOWHERE. Neither does samfirmware.com
So to sum it up, pretty much these are my only sources to play with, and just gotta make it work...
Please help and thanks again.

OK. So you are suggesting I take out pit file then CONVERT in someway the whole .zip file into .tar file for the PDA section, am I correct?
Now, I need a proper way to convert this file because I tried this using a converter I downloaded online. And after the conversion, the .tar files was double the size (over 400mb, original ~200mb). And flashing through ODIN using this new file didn't work. So what's the proper way to convert?
Hello,
i got my hands on an old GT-I9000. The privious owner tried to root it, because when i turn it on it directly boots, without doing anything into CWM(3.0.0.5)
I guess that this CWM version muss be very buggy because it cant access any kind of partion on the device.
Even mounting an SD card is impossible!
What can i do in this case ?
ADB ? an push a new CWM version on it, if yes which version ?
Best regards

No, it's not bricked. You have to repartition with a proper pit file from odin. I would flash the original firmware, all the three tar files (pda, phone, csc)+the pit. With the repartition option set to enabled.

I followed it here @ http://www.faq4mobiles.de/samsung-forum/110832-i9000xxjvt-downloadbereich-verfuegbar.html
As you mentioned pda, phone, csc+the pit with odin 3.10 worked really smooth.
Rooting with http://www.faq4mobiles.de/downloads.php?do=file&id=9527 this and odin only PDA option clicked on, nothing else!
After that, cleared all the cash, factory resten in CWM and freesh install of CM11
