[Q] Help, phone wont boot no matter what flash

Hi,
I flashed the Pre rooted JP3 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748131 and then installed the [UTIL] One Click Lag Fix 2.0 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751864
I used the phone for a couple of hours and then all of a sudden everything kept crashing.
I booted into the clockwork recovery and reset to factory and then was not able to boot.
I tried flashing back to I9000UGJH2 with Pit512 and Odin and after it flashes successfully the phone starts I see the galaxy S I9000 and then it shows me a grey battery sign and then a busy circle sign and then gray battery and keeps repeating.
When I boot without the usb cable it shows me the Galaxy I9000m sign and then just turns off.
When I tried reflashing the JP3 from the site above and after it finishes it comes to the Android System Recovery <3e> and displays the following message:
Update Media please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed.
When I boot it moves past the Galaxy I9000m screen shows me the galaxy screen with animation and sound, the screen then goes of leaving me with a black screen and the buttons lit.
I cannot format the internal SD card and I cannot seem to get the hone to boot into android, I can boot into downloader.
Any help would be appreciated
P.S. I have ticked the repartition option in Odin

Odin should theoretically work. I've never clicked repartition myself however a lot of people do seem to recommend it.
If you're out of things to try and you want to give the latest (not publicly released) version of Heimdall (my Odin flashing software alternative) a go let me know and I'll PM you the download link.

That gray battery with a spinning circle sounds like the charging screen when the phone is off. Have you tried and let it charge up over night?

The battery is full.
I managed to get the I9000UGJH2 rom up and running by inserting an external sd card.
But here are some issues:
Once booted neither of the SD cards are recognized
If I power down / reboot phone, it will not start again, it shows the I9000m screen and turns off.
I suspect whatever the one click lag did to my SD cards needs to be reversed.

Ok,
So after tonnes of playing around with the device. I can confirm that it has something to do with he internal SD card.
I need to somehow format the entire internal SD card so that even Odin can see it. I tried using the stock recovery and clockworks with no luck.
It just wont see the card.
Any suggestions?

Phone won't reboot ODIN says PASS, Frozen on Galaxy S home screen
I first installed JP2 and was able to get it working. Then I made an attempt to install JP3 but it didn't work. My phone screen kept on flashing i.e. off and on. I then went back and tried to install JP2. While I was installing it, I got an error message saying unable to mount sd card (similar to what rumy got). I am in the exact scenario as rumy and now i don't know what to do. It's a brand new phone and I am very scared.
Any ideas on what I can do now. I am installing JH2 as I write. Hopefully, that will work.
Please help me if someone knows how to get out of this situation.
thanks

Well, I am still trying but no luck.
We need an adb expert / odin one to help us somehow repartition the internal sd card I think.
I believe with the lagfix on jp3 it got repartitioned and then corrupted.
I also think we should start adventuring outside this device as there might be more senior trouble shooters / experts who own other htc devices that might be able to help.

I used to get this on my htc dream try going back to original firmware the only I found it to work was rip a rom to pieces get misc.img then enter console via recovery and flash_image misc misc.img then something else but cant seem to remember think its mount-o rw,remount -r yaffs2 /dev/block/mmcblkop3 /system. dont quote me on this try typing the error into google

The lagfixes do not repartition anything so this is (most likely) an issue that is not related to the lagfix.
Try going back to somthing like JF3 with the 513.pit file and repartition enabled.

The exact same thing happened to me - installed JP3 then lagfix. Phone was unstable after so I tried to reflash via ODIN (with repartition) and no matter what I did I could not successfully reflash my phone or get it to boot.
Only solution - returned it to the store as a DOA and got a replacement device.
Upon further research, it is known that JP3 screws up the internal SDCARD. Marks it as read only or something like that - search google for JP3 sdcard for more details.
Bottom line - your phone is bricked. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I wonder if this would help fix it.

That installs a different Linux distro underneath android and is totally unrelated! (Not to mention not doable in the state the phone is in)
OT: I don't believe you should give up quite yet. Try flashing a new firmware and afterwards, install Clockwork recovery!
From there you can format your internal SD. You will lose all your data but I strongly believe it will help fix your problem from what I have read here so far!
Edit: I added a warning to the flash guide in my FAQ for I9000M owners for now!

hey try this
Why dont you try to use the odin 1 click downloader over in the captivate forums. I know that we captivate people are running the i9000 firmware with a stock captivate kernal under it. Worth a try.

I'm not sure what you mean. I am pretty sure he used Odin to flash the firmware. I think you are talking about the same program he already is using.

Damn. There are so many known traps out there, yet we don't have a compile of them anywhere. I didn't know that I shouldn't uninstall Google Talk until I actually did it. We need things like this in the FAQ.

"Do not uninstall google talk" is not something you need or want in an faq. It's called a frequently asked questions because they are frequent. I have never before seen someone who tried or even wanted to uninstall google talk (not to mention that this is a goggle os and removing central apps like that is bound to produce problems). And if you mess around with root like that you have only yourself to blame for not doing enough research!

Good idea.
Downloading now will try and post. Fingers Crossed!

OK DONOT TRY THIS!
This made things worse for me.
I lost downloader mode too now all i see is the AT&T screen showing up

Calm down and tell us exactly what you did. It sounds like the initial problems that occurred on early recovery. The download mode should still be reachable. I don't think recovery can completely brick your phone.

The problem is related to the message
Update Media please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
Your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
copy default media content failed.​
If you research this error via Google you will find several references to JP3 screwing up the permissions/structure of the internal SDCARD.
I spent several days trying to fix this issue on my phone and no matter what I did (Clockwork or no) I could not get the phone to reset/recognize the SDCARD.
As I said, my only recourse was returning the phone for a replacement. I really hope you find a fix but I think it unlikely.

[Q] Internal SD Card Won't Mount

I turned on my phone today to find that it mysteriously shut off...I went to turn it back on, and it just sits at the first screen forever (the one that says GT-I9000), so I pull the battery and boot into recovery. In the command line section, I get:
Code:
update media, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI me
nu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
My guess is that it's some sort of a partitioning error, but I really have no clue...is this a fixable error? Also, if it makes a difference, my phone is the Canadian Bell version (GT-I9000M), purchased back in September. I've been using i9000 ROMs since I got it though, and they seem to work flawlessly (much, much better than using whatever is out there specifically for the I9000M, anyway).
Thanks in advance!

your phone is fried, just take a quick gaze upon the forums, you have a very common problem, call bell, get a 100 dollar credit and a new phone in 1 week

Try formatting your internal sd card via recovery 3e or CWM (what ever you use).

When I try to format it using 3e, I get the same error message as on entering recovery move (can't mount). I've also tried several 3e factory resets and cache partition wipes, and Odin reflashes, but no luck from any of it.

Try flashing with these steps. I didn't have my internal SD die but I could not mount or format mine. Flashing with the 3 part older firmware and then upgrading to a new firmware without repartitioning has saved me several times. Let me know if it works for you.

It happened to me as well, but mine was because battery was dead.
So the obvious advise is to charge the battery completely before you do anything.

The battery is sufficiently charged, I'm pretty sure
After flashing to JPY through Odin, when it finishes and says pass, the screen goes blank, and then the only thing that will work is download mode (holding the power button to turn it on doesn't produce a bootloop). In the morning, I'll probably try the non-Odin method.

Flash using odin xxjpk than latest rom like darky v8.1
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Did you follow the whole post I showed you? The symtoms you are describing sounds like you jumped directly to flashing jpy which will not work. You need to flash the 3 part jpu first.
They advice to flash jl2 may work as well. Jl2 has actual code changes to address sdcard issues. You may experience issues going to jpy afterwards though.

Sorry...I meant JPU, not JPY
I flashed JL2, which bootloops at the galaxy s screen (where it says GT-I9000M), and can't access recovery mode (it can access download mode though)
What should I do from here?

okay, that is fine. Now you need to flash with an older firmware, then a newer one. 3 part jpu with repartition, then jpy without repartition. If that doesn't work, you may have a dead sd. But I was bootlooping on JL2 just before I fixed mine. Here you can read this thread too where I posted fixing mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=892534
P.S. its supposed to not boot on the first flash (black screen). Thats why you need to flash it twice. It takes some code from the older firmware and some from the newer.

Tried, and that didn't work, so I'm assuming that my internal SD card is done; thanks for the help, though
does Samsung have an official statement on their "new phone + $100" thing I've seen around? I can't imagine that's something the store I bought my phone at will want to help me with

My friend works at Bell. He told me they are sending phones in for repair or replacement. Takes about a week. He didn't know if they are still giving out $100. He didn't think so.
Crappy about the phone. Was worth a try.....

[Q] Verizon Tab shows only black screen

Hi guys,
This is my first post here in the forum, usually i just read other people posts and learn as i go, but this time i already tried everything i can't during 5 days and counting..
I have a CDMA Galaxy Tab from Verizon (sch i800) and wrongly attempted to flash the gt-p1000 gingerbread (2.3.3) version from samfirmware.com with odin to no avail.
Now the tablet screen is always black, no matter what. My pc recognizes the tablet when i connect it and i can even use odin to flash other firmwares, but nothing appears in the screen, not even the samsung logo.
My guess is that, by using the gt-p1000 firmware, odin has repartioned my tablet and altered my boot.bin and sbl.bin with the gt-p1000 version. That's probably why my screen doesn't even turns on.
Does anyone has any clue on how to resolve this (without returning to samsung, of course) ?
Also, can a riff box restore my tablet?
* Good news, i got some progression here.. I reflashed my tablet with odin using the rom "P1000BUJMC" from samfirmware.com, sugested in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146712&page=3 .
Now my tablet screen is working again but get's stuck at the samsung logo. During the flash, odin getz stuck in the file movinand too.
When i enter recovery mode, the tablet gives me this error:
"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(No such file or directory)
E:install_application_for_customer:Can't mount DATA:
Anyone knows how to get through this error?

push..
Does anyone know how to solve the error?

Considering I did the same thing, I hope flashing the firmware you linked works
From all the searching I did the error your getting is due to the internal sd card either A Failing or B Corrupt data partition
I had a blk0p1 error that was fixed when I flashed Cyanogen mod to the SCH-I800 but then I got another error and that was blk0p2, so can't win for losing. The only fix I found was to partition your external sd card to be used instead of your internal. There are tutorials around here somewhere../

Need help with internal storage!

Well guys....i think this problem stems from me prematurely removing the usb cord. I Understand that. But here is the other couple of predicaments. lol Ok i'm on ICS Stunna 4.3 ......well after something went wrong i'm unable to "repair" my internal storage. Everything still works smooth....but i can't add things to my internal card. Every time i hook up to the computer it says it needs to scan and fix the card.Well the problem is starts to fix it.....but never does....progress bar never finishes. Tried this on 3 different computers. Nothing.So try to install a different rom....i have some on my internal and external. Always aborts in cmw....never finishes. So on top of all this Stunna has started acting odd. Likely read errors.....but problem is i can't switch roms! lol I have tried everything. I was wondering should i format both cards? But if i do that how can i back everything up if i can't access my card? Any help would be appreciated guys. Hoping i don't have to Odin back to stock.
Cliffs- Internal storage won't repair on any computer-Can't install anything in CMW because of it

I have the exact same problem now, as you do. CWM can't install any .zip files, I can't flash Abyss kernel, so it's just stuck in that end.
I installed ICS Stunner 4.5 coming from GB with full wipe. This happened to me after I tried to copy some files over to external SD Card and it failed, seemed like the phone froze (SOD), so I figured flashing another modem would do the trick (read it in ICS Stunner thread's 1st post). Tried to transfer the file over a cable, but same thing happened. After rebooting I just grabbed it from dropbox and installed the modem successfully. I went ahead to try and fix the mounting problem, so I plug in the cable and it offers me to scan and fix both partitions (internal and external). External card finishes successfully, but not the internal one. And after that I'm in the same situation as OP.
Any ideas anyone?

Gonna try it now. Have lots of pictures to backup first tho
EDIT: Same thing happens as with scan and fix procedure. It starts and just sits there, nothing happens. When I try to stop "USB Storage in use" it just shows the spinner and hangs in there. Only holding the power button helps solve this. My guess is something in the internal SD card partition is broken... just can't say what or how to fix it.

Same problem^^^^ Not sure what to do about all this

Short story:
Formatting didn't work.
Long story:
Okay, so following the idea to format the internal sd card's partition, I achieved it not through Windows format dialog, but through the half-broken CWM. Both my SD Cards were formated (internal and external) in the process. So since I used the external one for backing up important info I had to use [email protected] UNDELETE to get it back (after booting to ICS). In the process the native SD Card mount service seemed like broken, I had to perform a few hard resets. Hangs seemed to occur whenever I tried writing to one of the cards. I downloaded multi-mount SD card app from Play Store and transfered AbyssKernel's .zip and now when I try to install it from CWM it says
Installing: /sdcard/AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchOriginalLogo.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Click to expand...

And that's it... so basically back to the start. Any more ideas?

Please help if you have any ideas on what might work. Us 2 guys are in trouble...lol

I don't know if this will help or not but give it a try.
Enter into the download mode and flash any stock firmware using PC Odin. This way you don't need to access any of the cards. After flashing stock ROM, try fixing the internal SD again and if it still doesn't fix, send in your note to Samsung for repairs.
Sounds too simple to be working though but worth a shot.

Well for now the phone works, but it's stuck on ICS Stunner. I was thinking to use PC Odin or Mobile ODIN, but what if it doesn't work because the partition is corrupted in some way (as it is now, because CWM can't flash anything).
I'd like to hear more insight before I go the odin-way

I'm downloading an old GB rom myself..
While I am, I can share a thought: I feel that ICS is not yet ready.. at least not for me. Feels nice and fast but buggy USB transfers is a big no-go for me. Also after trying AOSP derived ROM, I decided to wait for a good Samsung edition ICS because all the little tweaks add a good feeling to the experience, I tend to miss them on AOSP or AOKP or w/e

Oooh thanks! Didn't know this. So now I'm pretty confident because if flashing conventionally fails I'll just repartition and get rid of all the partition errors. What do you know, I feel like I learned something new today

SOB! Just did the whole Odin to stock thing and i am stuck in a bootloop! lol

I think my problem is used a .tar instead of .pit.....where can i get the .pit?

Ye same happened to me. Reboot to recovery (volume up + home + power) and do a data wipe/factory reset. After that it boots. Rooted and flashed CWM just fine after that, copying my old GB nandroid backup to SD card as I write

Too bad for me, since I had recovered the latest nandroid with undelete software (cus external sd was accidentally formatted) and now I'm getting a MD5 mismatch Guess I might as well start fresh now, since the last good backup is like 2 months old... Another lesson for me.. always keep your nandroids safe

i have same problem but more complicated. iam on stock GB and its happened after flash bad kernel
the case in detail's :
i flashed wrong kernel on my device previously and now when iam trying to flash another kernel even use ODIN or CWM everything going well and completed but when check i found the old kernel still. i tried many times with same results and no error .
- system can read/write/mount the internal memory but the new pasted files deleted after restart. external card behave normal and i can preform flash using files pasted on it.
- in CWM wipe/format/flash operations running well but no effect on device even restarted to CWM only.
- device has yellow triangle. is it effected?
- the devil kernel stacked in machine is 2.6.35.7-gb4846d2 [email protected] #2 and the build no. is jpkj4
system running normal but cannot keep any changes i do if restarted.
-system rooted and no problem with root
-can access adb
- ODIN behave same CWM, operation work but no change.
can anyone help me guys?
i did repartition the memory useing PIT for note butno change also
thank you all in advance

Another Brick Verizon Galaxy Tab 7

Hello yall any help would be much appreciated.. Thanks in advance Lexi
I bought a Samsung galaxy tab 7 Verizon branded from someone at my university.
He said he had not idea what was wrong with it.
Symptoms on receipt: Booted through Samsung screen to Verizon screen then looped.
I did some research online and though I could fix it. So I bought it.
I was able to get in the mode with Power + up button screen.
Tried to wipe data, but alot of commands came out: E;/ Failed to mount. And other commands like that
I figured I needed to flash it.
After reading a bunch of posts I downloaded Hemidall and Odin, along with SCi800 Verizon stock .tar and Galaxytab.pit
My first attempt was with Odin, but computer went unresponsive.
After this happened I was no longer able to get to verizon screen. Just samsung and Download mode (power +down button)
I tried again. It just hang when it said writing. On the tablet there was a small blue progress bar but it didnt move for 20-30 mins. So I pulled it out again.
Also note: when I tried to download the USB dirvers as suggested on this forum through hemidal. It was not recognizing my tab.
I got the usb drivers from Samsung website
I know it was recognizing because when I did the Odin it popped up at Com 4 or something like that.
I took a break and put it on the charger to charge.
Now it does not even turn on by itself
It turns on when the power is plugged in from a wall socket but it goes to a all white screen.
I can get into download mode
But when I plug it in the computer USB nothing recognizes it. Not even Odin.
Question 1: what can I use or do for my compute to see my tablet again.
Question 2: If I get my computer to see my tablet again. Can someone show me how to flash from scratch? Meaning redoing partition too? I think that might be bad as well?
Any suggestion guys would be great.. I know a thing or two about computers but really need a bail out on this one.
THANKs

somehow the best platform to launch heimdall is linux.
It doesn't need drivers.
I never run heimdall in Windows. But I think its driver and Odin's are conflicting.
So you may have to uninstall the zadig USB driver and reinstall Samsung's driver to get it working with Odin.
Or get a clean windows machine that never has either software nor Kies in it.
Using XP is also better than Vista/Win7 rather than have to deal with 64 bit and permission control.
The PIT file is to repartition the device storage. So you are on the right track.
Good luck.

I let it charge for about 20 mins. and Now it is at least making the windows tone (the tone when you connect a usb device to it)
If I chose to USE Oden again and I want to start from scratch. Meaning fixing everything possible.. Similar to formatting my computer HD and reinstalling everything. Does that mean I have to redo my partition?

Also in device manager it shows Samsung USB composite Device
This means its being seen by my computer right?
I would like to try oden again but I can't find another .tar file and .pit file for my Galaxy tab 7 Verizon
Anyone out there

You can use Sprint one. No difference.

Thanks for the link. I will search a bit more.
Woke up this morning and the tab is not connecting again. Very frustrating.
I am going to try to run it down again and go from there.
How long should the whole flash process take? I just want to confirm I have enough battery life in it.
thanks again

The SPH-P1000 sprint and the SCH-i800 Verizon are the same?

Update:
Well I was able to get back the verizon and samsung screen.
I used Odin v.3.07
and
verizonEC02.tar.md5
Checked the auto reboot and the F.reset time. Unchecked re-partition
Did not put any file in the PIT section
and I put verizonEC02.tar.md5 in the PDA section
Rebooted but now I am getting this error in the Adnroid System Recovery
IN RED
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file of directory)
E: Can't mount Cache; Reovery/command
#Manual Mode #
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

E: Can't mount CACHE: log/recovery.log
E: Can't open CACHE: log/recovery.log
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
Any ideas on what this mean?

Either the partitions not formatted or the storage chip itself is bad.

;-(
ok so lets say its the partition formating problem.
I re-flashed it again using the same .tar file but this time I used a .pit file.
would that have attempted to format it?
Or do I have to use Nand erase all?
thanks again

Just pit and tick repartition. No need nand erase.

I have been having the same problem since may! One day my tablet would hang at the Samsung screen! I don't know how many hours I have researched and many different ways I have tried to install the firmware but still get the same thing. It hooks to Odin (every version) passes every install the Roms, the pit, the dbdata, but I still can't get it to work. I've tried on 3 different computers. I don't want to give up because I know it should be fixable. Everyone else seems to be able to fix theirs. I'm on Canada on the Rogers network and got the right files but can't seem to get it right!! Anyone have any other suggestions? I haven't tried to format the SD card and repartition it yet. Not really sure on how to go about that.

I thought it was fixed but when I got it back it was in the same condition I gave my cousin.
I did some more research since then. I found a forum about this same error.
As stated in previous posts the error I was getting. Where it said it could not mount the files.
As Priyana said it could either be the partition or the INTERNAL SD Card is bad.
I found a post about this same exact problem (as soon as I find it again I will post in this post)
There is a description on how to open your galaxy tab 7
http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/1
Then remove the internal SD card
Then install the operating system (android) on the external SD card

FIXED
Today I decided to try to partition the external sd card after trying everything for over 2 months now. I only have an 8 gig card at home but I thought what the heck I would give it a try and it worked!! I partitioned it with 3 partitions by watching a video on youtube then i installed the factory roms and overcome kernel with Odin and it worked. I'm a happy camper now!
