Have you tried to reflash your Galaxy with Odin?
Downloads:
Odin
JM5 Firmware PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
PIT 512
Howto:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (PDA=CODE, .PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Remove the SD card and SIM card from the phone.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.If the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

Your SGS is not broken you are just doing things without the right knowlegde.
Don't do things you don't understand !!!
Read before you do something !!!

Yes i have flashed mtimes with odin and successfully but this time its differrent i can't flash any rom and i keep having that error above

Welll it worked when i changed the .pit file which came with Odin to your .pit file and mine was 513 yours 512...but at the end when it booted there was one red line about some sytem ... it went fast so i could'nt read it but anyway thnx alot

You always have to use the correct PIT File for a Firmware.

[Q] URGENT can't mount \dev\block\stl11 please help!

Hi Guys,
Just tried to flash from JG4 to JM8,
I followed the instructions as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809423
Before i started i removed voodoo lagfix with the disable-lagfix method, then i did a factory reset.
I was up to step 2, that worked fine in Odin, then when i went to restart i got this error : can't mount \dev\block\stl11
any ideas what went wrong?
Thanks

Emm, what instructions have you followed? The link you gave is for kies and 2.2, not 2.1 and odin.
My guess - something to do with pit files and repartitioning. JG I think needs 513, while JM need 512, so repartition and try flashing one more time.

This does not belong in the development section ! The link you give is for update to froyo using kies .. You have flashed JM8 that is not froyo ! So make your question more clear and post it in q&a .. Anyway the error you get has to do with repartioning .. Flash JM8 again with odin check repartition and use .512 pit

sorry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=807886
that is the correct link.
I used pit 512...
Edit: re-partition was checked and i definatly used pit 512... do you think voodoo had something to do with it?
reflashed again and and this is full error i receive in recovery;
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11

update media, please wait....

Do not leave csc blank in first step (flash to jm8). No idea why someone wrote it.

Hi,
i had the same problem flashing from JM5 to JM8.
When i clicked on reboot the system started without problem.
Then I flshed to JPM --> no problems either.

What happened is you probably flashed using Re-Partition but your PDA and/or CSC was missing the cache.rfs file.
If you tick Re-Partition, you MUST flash the complete set of firmware files (those that include cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs) otherwise you'll get errors like that.
To fix it you have to flash again with Re-Partition and make sure this time your PDA or CSC file has the cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs file inside. You'll lose all your app data, so backup first.
Next time when u flash, don't Re-Partition unless you know you need to. For example, the official JPM/JP6 Froyo update files do not come with a dbdata.rfs, so if you (wrongly) click Re-Partition when u flash them, you're gonna get a similar error but with the /dbdata partition instead.

Had the same problem when I forgot to do disable OCLF on one of my reflash.
I repartitioned, then flashed to JM8 with odin without repartioning (all pit 512) and worked like a charmed.

The only time i get this error is when i flash a FW and it requires a diff pit file.

I am getting a similar error when attempting to "format internal sd-card" in recovery mode.
I get the following error:
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 menu for format and reboot actions.
Similarly, I didn't remove OCLF before I attempted to flash XXJPM using Odin, so maybe it has something to do with that?
Does a full flash overwrite any changes made by OCLF? If not, how can this be remedied?

I also flashed using Step 3 from the same link as was provided by jahash. I think it may have something to do with the lagfix not being removed.

Should have read further before posting I guess, but I think my question is answered in post #7 of the HOWTO link.
My next question is, can anyone point me to a dbdata.rfs file that would resolve this problem?

This happened because when u flashed JPM you ticked re-partition (which you shouldn't have). Its not caused by OCLF.
To fix it you have to flash again with re-partition using another firmware package which has the dbdata.rfs file (JM8 for example, JPM is missing it). Then after that if u want JPM flash it but DONT tick re-partition.

Thanks hardcore, that's exactly the info I was looking for. I will re-flash wish JM8 and then with JPM with partition unchecked.
Thanks, I'll report back with results.

As you said, I made a mistake. Went through steps 1, 2 and 3 and everything is fine now! Cheers!

i do have the exact same problem but flashing JM8 doesn't solve it.
in odin 1.3 with re-partition enabled I used s1_odin_20100512.pit, CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5 as PDA and MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 as phone
on startup I still get "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (Invalid argument)"
any ideas please?

XIAfbk like one of the rep said earlier, you must also flash with csc as well. So pick your original csc when you flash JM8. I had the the same problem and it was fixed when i flash the second time with my original csc as well.

Where do you get an original csc file? I'm having exactly the same problem..
My phone is orange uk.. did not back up efs folder before flashing to froyo via kies reg hack.. Didn't know i had to..
Changed phone to xeu csc on froyo but now am reflashing whole process jm8-jpm-jpo.. to try to fix some modem issues..

Thanks
hardcore's post helped me a lot the procedure he posted works well ..... thanks hardcore

I just got out of this issue after struggling for 1 whole day. I tried each and every solution/suggestion/recommendation available on the web but NOTHING seemed to work. If you are in the same boat, here is some good news for you.
You don't need to mess around with CWM or Voodoo or whatever, simply use ODIN to flash the latest stock JPU (2.2.1) from the link below. This one does a complete rewrite of every partition on your device, including /cache, which is the issue here.
http://hotfile.com/dl/88094739/f5545cc/I9000XXJPU.exe.html
Once it is done, all your partitions will be properly mounted and formatted as per defaults. Then you may choose any rom you may like.
Just make sure you use the PIT, PDA, MODEM, and CSC files come with this firmware. Don't forget to click repartition.
Good luck!!!

Galaxy S - Doesnt boot any firmware except JM8

Hello,
I apologize if im violating any rules here, but the problem is making me so sick that i dont know what else to do ..
i recently got a i9000, locked to THREE.. had it unlocked, tried to update it via KIES but bricked on the Samsung S (static splash screen).. i tried a couple of firmwares, 2.2's and 2.2.1 (XXJPU) included.. all would just sit at the splash screen doing nothing.. even left it like that for an hour, but still nothing ..
im not sure what to do here. . whenever im stuck, i flash JM8 and while booting it gives me the following:
E: Cant't mount /dev/block/stl11
(invalid argument)
multicsc : cannot access to /system/csc/H3G/system/
copy_common_data E: Cant mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid argument)
this only occurs once, once i select reboot system now it reboots fine and after that all other reboots go fine..
another thing that happens is that whenever i flash another firmware via ODIN, i cannot get the 3 -button recovery to work only the download.. while the 3 button recovery works on JM8
please help me.. this fone is driving me crazy

Have you tried re-partitioning in Odin before flashing?
Check re-partition, select correct pit-file, plug, flash, unplug, remove batt for 30 secs, uncheck re-partition, NO pit, select pda, modem, csc, plug, flash -> should work.

i actually tried a different trick to get rid of the errors ..
i used the modem and pda files from JM8 and the CSC file from JPU .. with repartition ticked i used the 512.pit to flash the phone via Odin.. all the errors went away .. well almost .. the phone started throwing a new error .. couldnt mount /dev/blocl/memblk10 or something ..
well .. thats something for the past now.. i got my cell changed .. things seem fine now .. thnx

For anyone checking this thread later for a solution...
I had the E: Cant't mount /dev/block/stl11 error myself and was able to recover via some combination of repartition and supplying a pit file. However, I was simply using a stock firmware for my phone (JH2 with 512 PIT). No fancy pda/modem/csc mixing needed for me

Help I f***ed up :(

So I rooted my Galaxy s(bell) and put speedmod kernel on it, I then tried to install a theme which partially worked but now I get "the process android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly" every few seconds and any time I try to do something I was unable to do anything at all really. So I then installed dark core kernel and that did not change anything, I restored to factory default and that did not stop the error(Even though all data was wiped). So I then formatted system under dark core recovery(Bad idea?) and now I can't get past the Samsung Galaxy 19000M boot screen(Assuming because there is no system files now that I wiped them?). I can access dark core recovery and download mode....What can I do?

flash jvk(gingerbread) or jl7(froyo) system files useing odin 1.3+

Where can I get jl7 firmware?

Www.samfirmware.com or search the forum. I think he meant jl2

The trouble was flashing a theme onto a stock ROM. Unless a ROM has been deodexed it can't be themed, so for themeing you need a custom ROM or one prepared using doc's kitchen. Just swapping a new kernel does not allow you to install a theme. Flash a stock theme in download mode from odin and then start again, you will be fine.
There are lots of guides about how to do that here.

Have you tried factory reset/wipe data in recovery mode? this may not work but worth a try
I keep I9000XXJPU on my PC because it has saved my ass in the past when i bricked my phone, it has all the files required to use in odin to flash. just get into download mode, open odin, attach files into specified areas, connect phone then start
make sure to look here, follow step and your all good

After you got the message stl10 you need to flash dbdata and that file only it work.

Flash a ROM with 3 files. Generally all the firmwares with 1 file only miss the DBData file.
Why JVQ? There are many newer firmwares out there.

Use odin 1.85.
Pun in download mode (press down-vol + home +power together at phone off)
Download stock rom.
Use pit file and put it in PIT.
use CODE file and put it in PDA
use PHONE file and put in in phone.
use sgh-* file and put it in CSC.
mark repartition flag.
lean bootloader empty
flash it.
