i9000m is semi bricked??? tried everything plz help - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been searching through countless forums and tried everything to reflash mine back to stock or atleast a stable custom rom. When i boot my phone after its done with odin it never passes the galaxy s Gt-i9000 screen. I tried using odin with dark's resurection and 2.2 stock but nothing works. The phone can't go into clockwork recovery either. Reading the other threads its possible that the one click lag fix may have something to do with this. So please help me..... ohh and btw its a bell i9000m
Thanks
also phone can go into download mode so there has to be a way to fix it

Download your tree file stock rom for odin, use 512pit and check repartition in odin.
Remember it thakes som time too boot first time.
I'm on latest jvr and its running good.

As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is recoverable.

okay thanks i will try it and report back!

@ dfolt i didn't flash with re-partition.
@krazykipa wheres does that file fit into odin? where do i put it? and do i re-partition?

Put the tar file in the PDA slot. I think it doesn't really matter where you put the files as they're automatically flashed to the right place, though I could be wrong.

okay i flashed with those files and now i have the same can't mount issue. it also says storage isnt perpared yet. And when i reboot i get this........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnrh2jEpNxo&feature=related thats what happens to my phone.

If I were you I would go on samfirmware.com to get a safe firmware download and JVQ which is 2.3.4 then download talon kernel 4.3 and flash via Odin, then download juwes rom 5.2 and flash via CWM. this is a very fast and stable rom with great battery life. This rom combined with the legend x fusion 3.0 theme is just awesome. I know juwes 5.3 is out now but I still reccomend 5.2 also juwes uses semaphore kernel as a default but I use the talon kernel its awesome. Good luck!

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?

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

E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists) Problem

Hello every one,
I tried to flash my Bell Samsung Galaxy GT I 9000M with gingerbread but things got messy and now I am stuck in bootloops...
I have already tried to flash back to the stock Eclair room but it's still not working.
I can still access download mode and recovery.

I think I need the seperate PIT, PDA and PHONE files to flash via Odin ticking repartion, and then upgrade to last version avaible via kies to fix this. But I don't where to get this files for Bell Canada I9000M.
I don't know how to fix this. Can someone help me ?
Here was my phone stock configuration before all that happens:

google searched and found this in an old thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-768441.html
http://www.multiupload.com/N62CDNXXXK I haven't downloaded the file so I'm not sure if it is 3 parts.
The other thing I'm thinking of (and I hope is not true), is the time when all Bell I9000M phones were dying after the official upgrade to froyo 2.2

Have you tired using a pit file?
flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.
hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:
Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x
if i flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.6 i receiving this error:

And then it keep showing me GT 9000 logo......

I know there is way to install in to external SDcard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..
I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.
Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.

Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.
Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.
Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition
Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

Did you flash a rom that was specific for your device? Can you flash the stock rom and get it operating correctly? You can find the stock Rom at sammobile.com.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I flashed the stock rom that is for my device. I was not able to collect csc file as they were not in the firmware package. I am in the UK and I flashed P7310XEUKJ4_P7310XXKJ4_HOME.tar
I have an i957 but I've never seen it boot the way your tab is. The rom looks like the right one. When you flashed thru Odin you did it with Pda? I don't remember what the checked box are but there are three of them and the two other than pit should be checked. Don't check the pit or you'll run into big troubles.
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
I used the pit file, stock recovery file and the rom file. I couldn't do the csc file as the firmware package didn't contain one...
I assume you can still get to down load mode and Odin recognizes your device. Flash the stock Rom in PDA. Where you see options, the auto reboot and F.Rest should be checked. Don't check the re partition or flash lock then click start and see if you can get the stock Rom to run.

Ok firstly the link you put up isnt found...
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and CSC, PDA, MODEM-files. Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Then just flash the phone with your ROM of choice.
Any issues let me know

When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted (CF-ROOT HERE)
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable
Close ODIN
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone copy over your ROM
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)

So you want stock 2.3.6 GB Rom am I right?
If so then do the following HERE except the Root if you wish
If you want to upgrade to a later firmware (For example JW6 - If it has only one .tar file),
Go to Download Mode again select the file under PDA.
DO NOT select the PIT, BOOTLOADER, PHONE, CSC files.
DO NOT check 'Re-Partition'.
Press the START button.
Hope this post helped you
I did same as u said but when every things done odin shown its passed but when its reboot its shows s animation n auto reboot again n again . i also wipe data n factory reset but same .
