[Q] Can't boot into OS not matter how many times I flash it with Odin...

Hi all I own an international i9000 (Hong Kong version),
My little woe started like this, I was uninstalling RyanZA's OCLF, when I encountered an error where I couldnt uninstall the ext2 tools. I read somewhere on a fix for it, where I downloaded a app called Mount /system (rw / ro) in which i set the system to RW, and then I was able to uninstall ext2 tools.
Afterwards I tried to install the Voodoo lagfix via odin.
After that, it refused to boot to the load screen (Galaxy S logo) and stayed in the i9000 screen saying restore operation then the device reboots itself.
Out of desperation I reflash my phone with my phone's 2.2 firmware "I9000ZSJPE" but that didn't work either, the first time it boots when I flash the firmware, I get taken to recovery mode, and I get this 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 menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed
No matter how many times I flash the firmware, I keep getting this message...
Is there any way to get my phone up and running again?
Thanks!

Hey, dont panic, its no biggie... this happened to me last week, you need to find a firmware that contains 'dbdata' im unsure which ones do contain it... i know darkys 9.2 Odin version definately has it... thats the rom i used to fix my phone last week.
EDIT: found this.... this should work :
This one is easy to fix so don't panic.
Download this ROM and extract (Odin 1.7 and 512.pit are included), then do as follows:
-Start Odin and load 512.pit, don't connect the phone yet.
-Make sure "Re-Partition" is checked, don't change anything else.
-Load PDA.tar.md5 as PDA, MODEM.tar.md5 as PHONE and CSC.tar.md5 as CSC.
-Put your Phone on download mode and connect it, start flashing.
When flashing is done, the phone will enter recovery mode, if it get stuck at the same error, simply do a wipe/factory reset and reboot the phone, the phone shall boot normally then.

i have tried using samsung kies but it just keeps on saying 'connecting' forever!!
please help someone i dont know what to do now!!

Get into download mode (volume down + Home button + Power button)
Download a firmware from samfirmware.com (preferably 3 files and pit)
connect the USB, Open up Odin, and flash it

ok i can get into download mode but what do you mean by '(preferably 3 files and pit)' ?
i have got a pit file and a tar file but only goes into pit and pda section..
where can i download those 3 files?
ive tried flashing the phone a few times. it says passed and completed but it turns on it just stays on the galaxy s screen. wont go into recovery mode but i can get into download mode.. :S
what to do?

I have a similar problem...
The phone was 2.1 stock, then i rooted, made a backup in clockworck recovery, and flashed one of darky's custom roms and it was fine until i wanted to restore from that backup I made... if I remember corectly it did the restore part and couldn't boot after that... anyway i got into download mode (3 buttons method works) and tried to flash a stock firmware with odin. after that it couldn't boot. I tried it again, and still nothing, it just vibrates in a very scary way. Like it's trying to tell me something but can't because I killed it!
Please help! I would hate to tell my dad I bricked his phone...

There is a new XWJS5 (jan 2011) firmware on samfirmware.com that comes in 3 files
If that doesnt work or it leaves you with some sort of error 'Cant Mount dbdata' Flash an old firmware like JM8 with 512 pit.

Yeah, after Odin finishes and the phone tries to reboot, it ends up in the recovery (3e) and I see this:
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.
copy deafult media content failed.
I am downloading JM8 firmware now so we'll see how that goes... If anyone else has any ideas, they're most welcome to share

As I was looking at the recovery screen, I gave the "wipe data/factory reset" option a try... and it worked. I don't know how or why but now the phone works and has a XPY firmware... now I need to root it again and get to that damned backup...

I recomend you to think about to buy a USB jig
You can find it on this page --> http://www.mobiletechvideos.com/blog/?page_id=100
I don't say that it will work but it should.
U can read this post to --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889128&highlight=usb+jig if you think you can make one you self.
I have the same problem and I'm w8ing for the USB jig to be delivered.

You don't need the jig if you can get into download mode with the 3button method. What you need to do is get into download mode and reflash with a full firmware that contains 3 file with repartition checked and a 512.pit. Any updates after this just use firmware with one file and no repartition.

If you read the last link you will c why I gave him the USB jig fix links... That is if he can't get in to download mode.
And it sounds like the same problem like I have so I asumd that he have the same problem like me.

Just a heads up, the i9000b can have issues with certain firmware. If you know what original firmware was on there restore to that, it needs to have a pda, modem and csc file to fix your error though.
There are some firmwares here that might help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782686&page=12

Little Help please ! Soft Bricked Device

I have spent the last 4 hours googling and looking through forums. So please dont moan if i have put this in the wrong place etc!
I have just bought a samsung galaxy mini and rooted it and unlocked it for use on other networks.
I then went to put the cyanogenmod music rom on and it sat in a loop.
I can reset phone but it wont load the rom.
When i go into android system recovery, straight away it comes up with errors :
E: Cant mount / cache/recovery/last log
E: Cant open / cache/recovery/last log
E: Failed to mount / cache (invalid arguement)
I have then gone and attempted to wipe date/factory reset and it comes up with lots of fails that scroll through but i cant read as too quick
If i also wipe cache,it basically does the same !
I then try to apply update from SD Card and im using the cyanogenmod music rom
It finds update, opens update, then does a lot of errors (too quick to read), and loops back around to the main menu again
I have tried a few roms, but this is the same on everyone! Anyone able to help??? Please !!

[Q] Phone cease charging the installer + does not work RAMDUMP Recovery

Hello,
I have with this phone really big problem. Namely, I had preloaded on it CyanogenMod in version 10.1. Unfortunately, the phone broke (guts inside) and did not react to anything, nothing will even launch the DownloadMode, so I said I'd send him to the site Samsung'a, I know that it automatically breaks the warranty, but I found it difficult, can make a ball . I was right, even though I got papers to break the warranty, however, they fixed it in 50% because now it turns on Download mode, and before anything, no reaction, no vibration, and charging the phone until jumping out logos "Samsung Galaxy Mini 2 GT-S6500D. " Unfortunately, this is over.
I tried to upload the ROM to the phone on the version of the GT-S6500D (because the bought) and here surprise, jumped an error that the model number is not right, I checked and the very surprising fact is that everywhere in the papers, and under the battery, I have written a model "GT-S6500D", while the entrance to the Download Mode in the "PRODUCT" I have written "GT-S6500" (without the letters D). Well, but as good as he wanted it done, I uploaded ROM for GT-S6500 and the kind of work, because there hangs on the log Samsung just goes on. But freezes a moment later, some error recovery , where it opens the installer Android'a and suddenly error:
Failed to mount / cache (no such file or directory)
Can not mount / cache / recovery / command
Failed to mount / system (no such file or directory)
No strange, yet this is not met, but good, I wanted to do so as they write, "go to recovery and make wipy", ok, I'm trying, VOL + HOME + POWER i .. Enables the message "RAMDUMP ARM9." Hmm .. I think wgram ClockWorkMod'a can help. I have uploaded ... I run ... RAMDUMP ... I'm trying to package a "live recovery" (or something like that - is to install the recovery on the phone and immediately turn it on), installed ... I'm waiting ... been activated .. . phew ... I'm trying to upload CyanogenMod 'on the SD card error:
Failed to mount / sdcard
... It is difficult, upload again the standard ROM Recovery on it still does not start, instead RAMDUMP, the installer stops ... And now I'm here, that's the end of my story.
I was looking for, I found a lot, but not enough. Happened same RAMDUMP, recommending Superuser.apk (I can not upload does not start the system), occurred Failed Load recommend Wipy ( Recovery will not start) ... And when we tried all these tips ... Nothing worked ... Time the following questions:
1.At the beginning, I would like to know (out of curiosity) how is it possible that before the service had S6500D and now I have S6500.
2.How to fix that instead RAMDUMP'a will load the Recovery .
3.What is the use of RAMDUMP'a because Odin in this mode is not phone me:?
4.How to fix this phone to work again, or at least a "sufficient walked"?
5.What could be causing this strange behavior?
My guess is that the answer will not be too simple, but I would be very grateful if somebody advised something, because I after two days of ideas is over :/
Thank you in advance, sorry for my bad English and best regards!

Now I am trying to solve your problems.
Reserved for solutions.

I will try to solve it step by step.
1. To tell you more about this, please tell me if you see an nfc app on the launcher's app drawer. ( I mean, after service, with the s6500 rom)

3. After your device crashes, RAMDUMP creates ramdump*.log files in the root storage. This is useful for developers.

4. To restore your phone to original baseband, you need to acces recovery an wipe data,system,cache,dalvik cache. Then flash an S6500d rom with odin from www.samfirmware.com

When I tried to wipe data,cache,system,dalvik I got error: "Failed to mount (/data,/system/,etc.)"...

I am glad that you can now acces recovery. But now you need to try to reflash it, and see what happens, I mean, if you can mount something.

My friend have this kind of issue but he just flash it
