Hi all,
My i9000 cannot boot successfully, it repeats the samasung logo again and again.
And when I try to re-flash the stock rom - 20110531_ZSJV5_2.3.3_ROOT_STOCK by ODIN
After reboot, it shows following Error:
E:failed to mount /data (File exists)
E:delete_data_files:Can't mount /data
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot action.
Media files copy failed
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Then it keeps repeating the samasung logo again and again.
Please help!!!!
Can you access the download screen (volume down + home + start) or CWM screen (volume up + home + start)?
If you can access the download screen, use Odin and download the stock Gingerbread from online (do google search), make sure you also have a PIT file like PIT 512 or something, and have the re-partition ticked, try that and see if it fixes the problem.
If you access CWM, maybe voodoo lag fix is on and didn't properly format the partitions.
Thanks
I have tried using ODIN 1.8 and I9000ZSJV6
But the problem still retain
The screen shoot :

You need to get a .pit file (512) and use repartition in Odin when you are flashing the original rom.
Yeah~I have used PIT512 and selected Re-partition, but problem still remain........
Damn ... it looks bad.
I have a suggestion.
Push a speedmod kernel with odin.
Enter recovery mode.
Convert the partitions to RFS (even if they are reported as such).
Redo the flashing of the original rom.
O...situation goes really bad
After I have flashed SPEEDMOD, I enter CWM
and try to convert to RFS, it said:
Can't mount /mnt/sdcard
Backup failed!
Then quit.
And I try to mount internal SD,
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblo0)
(No such file or directory)
Error mounting SDCARD:!
It looks like you have issues with the nand memory. I'm not sure 100% about it but it sounds like this.
In case your nand flash is dead, I really don't know what can you do ... there are few topics related to this issue. Check them out and see maybe is a solution somewhere.
don't use JV6, try flashing using JVQ, and don't use rooted versions, use a pure stock, try using Odin 1.7. It if can't mount, maybe there's a corrupt internal SD.
You may want to look at the stock rom vs an odin custom rom (like darkys resurection edition) and see if everything that that the custom has (minus the mods) is in there. I would get a mounting error for db_data from my stock rom (drove me nuts) because the stock roms did not update that and there for with a re partition it was missing.
I finally found another post on the CM7 forums that mentioned it so it could be an issue for your rom too?
If you determine which file it might be you can pull it from an earlier stock rom (one of them should have it).
You might even try flashing darky's. if it works then you know its a file issue and the phone is likely fine.

I flashed over 10 different roms with re-partition but nothing change...........
but luckily warranty should still cover, it is now in factory.....
Thanks All~
Similar problem: Phone stuck in boot up loop
Okay so about 2 months ago rooted and put a new rom on my vibrant. Last night I decided I wanted to go back to the original stock rom by restore my phone back to its original factory settings (at the time it made sense to me). I did this by turning the phone off, holding the volume buttons and power button until a menu came up where I selected wipe to factory setting. In doing this I cleared the rom I had on my phone and am now stuck in a loop where my phone keeps trying to turn itself on but has nothing to boot up. I am able to get to the menu that enables me to wipe my phone to factory setting etc but that hasnt helped all too much. I'm unable to mount my phone now on my mac in order to put a new rom on the sd and Oden does not seem to work for macs and I do not want to put a virtual machine on my computer but will if thats the only solution. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP!
That doesn't wipe to factory settings if you had a custom rom. It just wipes the user areas so IF you had a stock rom it would be back like day 1 but with a custom rom its like day 1 of the custom rom.
Though something else happened here too.

Don't use a mac use Odin and do it on windows, download the stock jvq rom again except in windows and use the 512 pit file aswell. See if that works.

Also forgot to mention when using Odin in windows make sure you have the windows drivers by downloading Samsung kies. From the Samsung website.

WANT TO RUN HERO? READ THIS FIRST
I understand that new people dont really know much about hero, and that is alright. They will learn to search and figure things out on their own, but i am a little frustrated with seeing this constantly in the hero ROM threads. " i am stuck in a bootloop, my phone stays on the htc screen"
THIS IS NOT A BOOTLOOP! A bootloop is when you see the hero with the little green android and then the HTC "flashing" logo. I will post a video of a bootloop in little bit, but in the meantime here are a few ways to fix a bootloop.
For a video of what a bootloop is, click on THIS IS A BOOTLOOP RIGHT BELOW THISTHIS IS A BOOTLOOP
1) wipe phone and wipe ext and reflash.
to wipe the phone boot into recovery and press alt+w or if running CMRecovery 1.3 or 1.4 you should be able to use the trackball and select the option that way. To wipe ext use these commands in either adb shell or recovery console... NOT IN TERMINAL!!!
This is how I installed without any problems:
: rename to update.zip (if you are running cm1.4 recovery you can just place the zip in the root of sd)
: place in the root of sd card
: shut off device
: boot into recovery
: wipe
: go to console and hit enter (you can also use adb shell)
(enter)
# mount -o rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 /system/sd
# cd /system/sd
# rm -rf /system/sd/*
# reboot recovery
: now wipe again
: repair ext system
: flash
Enjoy!!

2) check to make sure you are running a PVT board. Cant remember right now if it is the three finger salute or power+camera. To do the three finger salute, boot holding the green button, menu, and the red button. At the top of the screen that shows up it will either say PVT or DVT.
3) redownload the .zip file for the rom you are trying to flash. Sometimes you may get a corrupt download or the transfer from computer to sd may go bad. A fresh download may help.
4) reformat your sd and recreate all partiitions usingparted in cyanogens 1.4 recovery image. It is one of the easiest ways to do things if you are not running linux.
5) and last but not least, if all else fails just go back to a stable cyan build or jf build.
Hope this helps everyone and cuts down on the questions junking up threads. I will bump this every now and then unless it gets stickied. Also expect edits to this for other questions that get asked. Before junking up threads try these options and SEARCH!!!

not all updates, always read the changelog for a ROM. if you are simply UPDATING to a NEWER version of the SAME ROM, you MIGHT NOT have to do all this. this is mostly for when you get a bootloop. if you are changing hero roms, i would say yes, do everything you can, wipe, wipe ext, and what not. this will help about the bootloop.
I use Hero-V1.5 by Drizzy and it does not state in change-log.

ok so what are you trying to do? go to a different Hero rom? if yes, then you need to wipe phone and ext, if updating from drizzy 1.4, i would say not to wipe, but if you get a bootloop wipe phone and try again.

format your sdcard and then recreate your partitions
hello, I have the Samsung Captivate and am having a problem with the internal sd card. I went to put android 2.2 froyo and everything went well said success threw odin but my phone will boot up but once it gets to the galaxy s screen it stops. I have done the update threw odin several times and I run into the same problem. I got into system recovery mode and formatted everything cause it says that there was an error in the internal sd card, and needed to be formatted so I did that. Now when I go to reinstall packages it gives me this list.
--install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file on directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
any help would be much appreciated thank you.
yeah....reinstall packages doesnt do anything unless there is a file on your sdcard called UPDATE.ZIP
what you need to do is go back into DOWNLOAD mode, not recovery mode and use ODIN.....
I did that and after everything finishes and reset comes up in the blue box the phone starts it will go threw a list and it comes to a data wipe failed in red and formatting CACHE and DBDATA then applying multi-csc, installing multi-csc. Then Install default apk files, please wait
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (invalid argument0
E: copy_data_default_apk:cannot mount DBDATA:
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Then I format the sdcard and go threw everything again and it does the same thing. Im trying to give all the details.
I've got the same problem with GT-i9000.
Tried to flash with pit 512 and re-partition and pit 803 with re-partition, but the problem remains.

off topic but....
@thebeast
Your posts are hard to read. I keep thinking you are throwing your phone.
threw - past tense of throw "I threw it out the window"
through - by way of "I updated through odin"
Yeah I have that problem sometimes cause I'm typing relatively fast while focusing on other Things. I also do not proof read, relying on spell check too much. Considering I was trying to explain exactly what was happening to my phone from memory and going "through" the process over and over some mistakes are bound to happen. I had my lil bro hussle an att support store and get me a new one hence why I never checked this thread.
If you are having the same problem as me you do or did Not have an update.zip file on your internal SD. You deleted it or it was removed some how so before u tried to install anything you should of put it back to stock and hopefully that would of fixed it but I do not know the solution based on the fact I never bothered fixing mine.

lol @ the grammar police.
Stupid question - have you tried to use ODIN to go back to stock before attempting to re-flash? ODIN usually completely wipes the phone and any of the silly issues that come up.
The problem that is encountered is using oden to update while its missing that file so it deletes and starts to install the new rom but cannot. So the phone is stuck in limbo, I tried to use the one click flash countless times left it for hours and it would never work. So maybe if you did that before u tried to put the rom it might have worked but not once the damage is done. As far as I know.

I had a similar issue I think like 2 days back when I goofed up something in the framework folder. Nothing seemed to work.
So I had to revert back to stock using one click. That was the only thing that worked.
Yeah one click would not work for me at all trust me I tried that forever until I got the replacement.

At first: Download the attachments to this post. warning: If you have Android Froyo, download CWM-Froyo.tar. If you have Gingerbread, download tass-recovery-cwm.tar
For the steps 4-9, there is a screenshot below.
After downloading, you can start using my little guide!
1. Power down your phone.
2. Enter download mode by pressing 'Volume down + Home button + power button. Wait a second. After some time the screen says download.
3. Connect through USB to your PC.
4. Launch ODIN v4.38.
5. Wait for Odin to recognize your phone. (At the left, there will be a yellow box that says COM "?", the number can be different.)
6. Select Tass_v1.0.ops by pressing the 'OPS-button'
7. Make sure 'One package' is marked at the left of the window.
8. Select tass-recovery-cwm.tar with the 'One Package-button' at the bottom of your window.
9. Press start, wait 'till your phone reboots. Now you'll have ClockWorkMod-recovery installed.

Hi have the stock 2.3.5, I flashed clockworkmod and I tried to do a backup of my rom. Clockwork on opening says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
and then when I try to do a backup the same errors...
if I select "mounts and storage" I can't manually mount nothing (/system, /cache, /data).
I try to format the 32GB sdcard again and I changed it with another one (2GB). Same results :-(
anyway the problem it isn't the memory card, clockworkmod can see the contents of it. the problem is that can't mount system folders...
Had the same problem last time. Try to contact the developers over at Clockwork...
You might get some help over there. I've just made this guide, I am not the developer.

You can't backup stock roms using this CWM recovery since it still doesn't supports backing up of rfs partitions. The developer left it so since we believed those who will be using CWM recovery will probably be using any custom rom which is supported for backup.
Agree with yagya.... Cwm fully function on ext 2/3/4 file system only. I've tried on stock rom xxkws2, backup sucseed..but failed to restore.

Yes, you can backup and restore stock roms with latest CWM recovery v5.0.2.6 however, there comes an issue when you try to restore GB backup over cm7 or other custom rom. So, it seems pretty useless.
Also, CWM recovery doesn't work fully with stock roms. Just yesterday someone complained recovery shows error when flashing gingerbread-2.3.6-root.zip file for rooting GB 2.3.6, later when I suggested him to flash it on stock recovery it worked.
So, it's pretty simple and clear custom recovery is good with custom roms only.
Unable to backup stock rom, seeking help.
Hello all and thanks Bunnybugs_007 for the tutorial.
I managed to install CWM v 4.0.0.5 but still I cannot backup my stock rom.
I can boot into recovery mode from CWM (4.0.0.5) But I can't backup stock rom.
I am getting mounting errors. (The only partition I can mount is the sdcard partition).
I would also like to ask you if I can update CWM through itself during recovery mode. Is this possible, I mean, CWM flashing itself?
Or do I have to use ODIN to update CWM 4.0.0.5 to CWM 5.0.2.6.?
This file is in a zip format but it does not have any img file inside...
I own a froyo but keep getting erros in mounting.
Thanks a lot.
P.s.: I been looking around for the answer but haven't figured it out yet. Although the question about CWM updating itself might by absurd i am forced to ask it. The info that I have gathered until now is confusing. I have also tried to update CWM through ROM MANAGER. but its GUI doesn't even recognize the CWM that is already installed. And RM doesn't recognize the phone model, when I try to get an appropriate version for it. So it's of no surprise that RM can't backup stock rom either...
thanks for the guide. going to check it out...

Hi Guys!
I flashed Clockworkmod recovery in my Galaxy Mini. I have Rom Manager, but when I try to partition my sd card, it says "You must have ClockworkMod Recovery installed before continuing! Install blah blah blah!"
The ClockworkMod is working in recovery mode too, but I don't know what exactly is the problem!
Help Guys! I desperately want to increase my internal memory
^^ You installed CWM via Odin or Rom Manager? If its through Rom Manager, then I guess something would have turned wrong.

Does this happen under clockwork mod when you boot up the phone? As in you get the clockwork mod recovery right after you boot up with messages like "Error.." etc saying it can't mount stuff? If yes then you should use the PIT file 512 through odin, then flash a stock ROM. This should resurrect your phone.
thanks for your reply
I have flashed 512 pit file followed by 3 files of a stock rom still no luck
*sigh*
Is your signature up to date? You use the Oserx?
So one time you rebooted your phone, this error suddenly appears?
yea i was using oserx v1 with lagfix, after couple of days i got couple of FC than restarted this error emerged
This is just a wild shot, but you can try if you are desperate

I also had this problem. Was on stock JVT with semaphore, partitions converted to ext4.
I decided to reboot my phone for no particular reason (was working reat) and when i powered it on kept boot looping without really getting past the samsung gt-i9000 white letters / black background screen.
CWM recovery said it was unable to mount any partition. External SD mounted fine, just nothing from the internel sd. No system, data, whatever. Got me thinking i may had my internal sd malfunctioning.
I just flashed it with odin and my stock branded operator rom (2.3.3) and done nothing more. No repartition. Working great. Was probably some ext4 error.
Before that i had been using cyanogen stable. Started giving FC like mad, so i flashed that stock JVT. On hindsight it may only had been the data partition that had run out of free space but i had no way of knowing when it happened and needed my phone running.
Reflashing got mine running again. Maybe try with Heimdall if odin's not working for you? Be sure to get a complete rom, with bootloaders and such. I'd suggest your operator's stock one. That way you can also send it back to samsung if it still doesn't work.
Thanks for ur reply guys...
Went to some phone repair shop.. They said internal memory card is "fried" and it's going to cost me from $120-250 (Aussie dollar)
worst come to worse it's gonna cost 250 and add another 150 I can get a new phone
So thinking now lol

Flashing with odin any stock rom, with 3 or 1 file, repartition on or off, pit 512 or 803 it is not working.
I begin to think that internal sd is hardware damaged
Got the same problem. My battery died on me when i was taking a nap. Plug it into the charger, turn it on and got a bootloop on the galaxy s screen. No matter what rom i flashed. I'm getting lots of red text when the phone reboot. Failed to mount is always in that list and i also know that after flashing my old directory is still being listed when i try to "install update.zip" from a dir. So i'm guessing my eternal memory is fried too. Shame that i had that chip replaced 2 month after i bought the phone brand new. Only lasted me little over a year. And now my provider want $200+ for repair. What a joke. i just bought a s2 galaxy 2 for 460 off craiglist so i don't have to deal with it anymore.
Guys it's a hardware problem. I've tried so many solutions but still no luck.
I don't even remember how did i end up with this problem !
Had this issue and resolved it no problem.
Flashed with odin 1.85 used pit 512 and three files (csc, pda, phone) & repartition checked followed by second flash of csc, pda, phone, no pit and repartition unchecked.
If not working try another stock rom. I had this with one and downloaded a different and all worked. also make sure kies and and kies services aren't running in the background.

Hello everyone,
I recently rooted my phone ( http://theunlockr.com/2013/03/16/how-to-root-the-motorola-razr-i/ ) and everything was ok. But while setting up a new ROM, my system got stuck in a bootloop.
I can't figure out what is wrong, and no matter what rom i install, the device manages to boot up, but then crashes when loading GUIs and third party apps.
What i have tried so far:
wipe everything there is to wipe using CWM and formating folders also using cwm
press factory settings on fastboot
using bp tools on fastboot (though i don't know what it is used for) it managed to boot up the phone ONCE but with no wi fi nor mac adress available (the rom i used http://www.argendroid.com/topic-ROM...u-Control-Smart-Battery-21-08-2013-ArgenDroid )
mess up with different roms, all of them crashed at the same point
The Roms i tried:
Pillama 1.6 http://www.argendroid.com/topic-ROM...u-Control-Smart-Battery-21-08-2013-ArgenDroid
Atom CFW http://www.argendroid.com/topic-ROM-Atom-CFW-CustomFirmWare-Final
The tutorial's rom mentioned before which worked well
Progress and hints
at first i would just wipe data/factory , cache partition and dalvik, and the booting could not go further than displaying the unlock warning

once i formated /system, /cache, /data, /pds, /sdcard(which is actually the phone internal storage, there is another folder named /external-sd)
only then the boot process would go further and display the nice loading animations, but still crashing in the end before i could do anything.
Aditionally i can't manage to use ADB because somehow, my Barcode managed to dissapear. ADB won't recognize my device.. i'll try to find a ROM with usb debugging enabled by default but who knows...
So please help, what can i do?
I think there is something inside the internal storage that is not quite erased and is jamming when installing other roms. It is still pretty bizarre, and my phone is no more than a month old so...
Thanks beforehand.
How you installed CWM? Was using this? Which CWM version are you using? Tried to flash to stock?
well, you need to find pi-llama 1.4
download it, enter fastboot and flash the system.ext4 image. type
fastboot flash system (name of the file)
then look forward the omar-avelar kernel img and type
fastboot flash boot (name of the kernel img)
SOLVED

Surprisingly enough, pi-llama 1.4 solved it.

i just had to modify the .bat file so it wouldn't search for fix.zip in the phone memory.
It succesfully flashed system.img, boot and cwm 6.0.9 (not sure didn't check)
then i wiped data on phone, and installed fix.zip flash with cwm
once i got to restart it, i got it on fastboot mode and used bp tools and.... IT BOOTED UP!!
i think the boot included is omar's already, because wlan issues were solved (device has got a MAC adress)
thank you so much!
i won't turn off my phone again just to be sure

Hi, it got solved thanks to @sky0165 advice,
i just used fastboot recovery <cwm image>
<cwm image> being the file downloaded from this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974097
6.+ version i didn't check
i tried to flash to stock yes but since adb didn't work it was kind of pointless i think.. it just didn't work
Thanks for your concern
I should mention that my PC is not able to recognize the usb storage.
I don't mind since Airdroid exists, but it's still kind of a bummer.
ADB recognizes it, though it displays Medfield<hex number>

It's nice to hear that. You can flash other roms(Omar for example) in case you got bootloops with clean installs. You just need to do the pi-llama method (flash the system.img & kernel) and then install the rom you want on top of the pi-llama 1.4
