I messed up my Bell SGS playing with odin.
Lost the 3 button options and ended up hacking a jig to get it into DL mode. done
Goal - a Functioning phone. Now what?
Thinking I should odin the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.tar.
But with or without repartition?
Can I use any 512pit?
I think repartitioning is where i messed it up.
Now all of this happened because I wanted seeARMS.JL2.v0.4 but couldn't update with the <3e> recovery mode.
Knowing that seeArms is my second (first?) goal, is there a different firmware I should flash something other than BMC to give me back update functions, but stable to resuscitate my phone?
There's ages of material here and I don't want brick my phone or waste time, I've done enough of that by myself.. now I'm looking for some expert opinion.
thanks
Best option for bell users is darkys rom. For further info check darky's rom info

Flash the stock JL2 firmware with Odin the use super one click to root your phone then flash a new kernel with SGS Kernal flasher from the market... then u will have clockwork recovery then wipe and flash seeArms! Its a great rom but not as fast as darkys
Get the stock firmware from samfirmware.com u can get the .pit file from there to

So the stock JL2 that I have is a .tar and .dll
I have a 512.pit from a beta 2.2 , are they different?
Did I mention boot problems too? Hanging @ Samsung, no splash ani.
I guess the .pit means yes on repartition?
Thanks
Just use the stock firmware and .pit from samfirmware.com and when Odin is open do not tick off repartirion... just put the .pit in it's spot and the tar in th's PDA part and flash

Recovery back but can't mount /dev/block/stl10
Decided to try Darkys v9.2 Resurrection.. no go.
Flashed JL2 and got recovery back but crash after animation.
3e recovery shows me Can't mount /dev/block/stl10.
some threads say dead, others make ref. to old builds.
any current ideas?
thanks

Download a full firmware for your model and locale (with dbdata in it) and flash it with repartition with the pit proposed (samfirmware.com) then, I believe, you will have a full functioning phone. If everything is ok, then flash ... whatever.
It's Alive! - Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 fixed.
Hey All,
Got it all working again.
Repaired: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
the fix: A full firmware (pda/csc/phone/pit) flash w/repartition.
Flashed w/repartition - I9000XXJP2.7p. (the only FULL firmware I had on-hand)
on reboot the system does a media check and was successful in reformatting and mounting the internal SD.
Phone didn't like the ROM and still logo of death, but..
A quick Jig into Download Mode..
Flashed I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar with no repartition
(can't remember if I used .pit).
And Success!! my phone is alive and running 2.2
Thanks for the help, and hopefully this thread can help others.
Everyone should build/get a jig
There is nothing more awesome than being able to force download your non-booting phone.
I could not have done this repair without one.

thanks again everybody!

Yes, do this. For repartition to work the .tar has to have dbdata.rfs, otherwise it won't work.
Then flash a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm and flash you're favourite custom rom
unlock&root owngrade or speedmod kernel? suggestions?
Forgot to mention that all this started after I got the phone back from Bell service after SD card failure.
I know mod methods changed with the latest firmware, as I had used the update.zip method that is now unavailable.
My phone went in unlocked and rooted
the phone came back re-locked (old code doesn't work? wtf?),
and it was unrooted w/3e recovery
Can the phone unlock code change?
Will downgrading to 2.1 make unlocking easier?
or is unlocking just as simple after a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm
Which is better?
downgrade the firmware to 2.1 and root using the old update.zip method or speedmod kernel?
Which kernel? (link please )
cheers

All you did was flash UGJL2 with no repartition and it brought your phone back?

You know what....I've been trying various combinations of CSC/MODEM/PIT and everything to get this phone running again.
All I did was select a FULL UGJL2, and thats IT. NO pit, NO repartition, and it worked
The best way to revive your I9000m is to first flash JPC (a three file ROM) with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. The phone will still be in a boot loop. Then flash the JL2 PDA without repartition or PIT. The best way to go back to stock! Has always worked for me. I9000m's are not the same as other I9000's and do not flash repartition and the PDA in the same flash! Good luck!
Hi guys can someone help, i had darkys rom with voodoo installed on my galaxy s so i decided to revert back to stock rom with odin everything went ok but im stuck at startup screen. i can still enter download mode and recovery. Can someone please advise. Cheers

HI Friends,
I have applied z4root temp root and applied OCLF lag fix in my SGS now. After reboot phone not booting . It got stuck at galaxy S logo.
How can i recover my mobile. The 3 button recovery mode is working now.
What i have to do now ?
1) factory reset in the recovery mode or
2) I have to use odin to flash the stock firmware
Please help..
Gokul
Factory reset first .
Flash stock via Odin but undo lagfix first .
jje
Thanks for your reply
I Can't boot the phone now. Its got stuck in the logo .
Then how i can i undo the lagfix ?
Does ODIN flashing requires removing lagfix in the phone ?
Can i directly flash the STOCK firmware with OCLF lagfix enabled ?

Search in the threads for help, but if you flash a stock ROM that includes a PIT file and check "Repartition", you should be ok even without removing the lagfix.
However, search for better answers as I am no expert yet.
This is a good thread to start with as just a way to get your phone up and running...
factory reset works for me.. but all apps gone.. restoring my all apps now...
hi XDA members ..
am kinda new on this stuff "noob".
i bought my sgs (GT I9000) from KSA with (and am not sure) I9000JPJG8 frimware.
the whole story is that i tried to upgrade to froyo but the process didn't when well and odin was stuck. so i ignorantly pulled the usb out, and had that phone->attention-> pc sign. but i was able to get to download mode. later i noticed that i used a I9000M froyo firmware.
anyway, i read through threads about semi-bricked sgs and found that i must reflash again my stock firmware, and that's what i did.
the odin flash is successful and the phone shows the galaxy s startup screen and then that loading sign and the loop starts ( loading sign appears - disappears -appear again ..etc) i pulled out the battery and powered it on to have a Galaxy s startup screen loop also.
i can't get to recovery mode, and here the names of the firmware i used to flash:
I9000JPJG8
I9000JPJPG
I9000JVJPF
I9000UGJH2
i need the firmware to have arabic support so that's why those above where my choices, but i wouldn't mind losing arabic for z sake of my new sgs
sorry if my english is bad
suggestions???!! and thanx in advance
have you been flashing these firmwares with PIT file ??
i think thats whats needed,
try to flash stock eclair 2.2 or froyo 2.2.1 with all 3 files and 512 pit.
i tried all .pit files to no avail...
and what do u mean by eclair 2.2 , isn't it 2.1 ??! and do u mean pit512 , 513 , 803 by the 3 files or what?
thx for replying
edit:
do u recommend certain odin version because i don't know which to use exactly ?
yea sorry i mean eclair 2.1
whenever i have trouble like you, i flash JM1 in all 3 files (phone pda csc ) and 512 pit, with the repartition box in odin checked.
works a treat everytime
i tried it but it stopped in z middle and odin said (FAIL)
have you made sure KIES is closed, even in the icon tray ??
Are you using odin 1.7 ??
also try to connect your phone direct to the motherboard
if it still fails, post me a screenshot of what odin looks like before you press start
oh my .. kies was closed in icon tray but there were some kies related stuff running when i opened the tasked manager. but unfortnately nothing happened , same things are still there.
here z pic , doing the method u mentioned before
h*tp://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/696/odink.png/
right the problem is you are using a firmware compressed into 1 .tar file
remove the pit file - uncheck re partition
remove phone
remove CSC
all you want is OJP_JG9.tar loaded into PDA.
A MAJOR UPDATE ..
while waiting for replies i tried this method in this post using eugene froyo :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10498057&postcount=14
suprisingly my phone now changed to vibrant on start-up and has z following :
froyo 2.2
baseband T959UVJK2
kernel 2.6.32.9
now that it is alive .. can i shift to z froyo 2.2 with arabic support or do u suggest that i stick to it ?
i think i'll change since everything is messed up ..
vol. buttons are reversed .. music is not played through speaker unless head-phones are used .. numerous apps crashing ..
man am soo confused
you have flashed samsung vibrant on your samsung galaxy
that is why you have these problems !
did you download a GALAXY I9000 ROM ?? if not do so now.
Flash it in odin.
If it comes in 3 files (PDA, Phone, CSC) add 512 PIT and select re-partition
If it comes in 1 .tar file. Load it into PDA and DO NOT USE PIT OR REPARTITION
hit start and done, its so simple.
you really ought to read instructions before you go flashing ROMs.
i really did but it looks like i didn't pay attention to GT I9000/M thing ..
ok thanx for z help and i'll reply back when done with z ROM
i hate to be demanding but can u give me links cause am sick of downloading wrong files ((

so now my phone powers off when connected with usb ... what shall i do ????
can you boot into recovery ? if so do a full factory reset and try again. and try to flash a rom in recovery (if you have 2e)
i have no idea why the phone powers off with usb.
does it do this in download mode too ??
did you flash a stock rom ?? if so what rom did you choose
i flashed eugene froyo
should i use I9000 method or vibrant method for recovery ??
i got into recovery when i flshed the vibrant rom back then .. :s
edit: a question , have i lost z root thing when i flashed the vibrant or not ?
first of all enter download mode . Try this method ( press home and volume down and insert the usb conected at pc ) , and flash darky resurection 9.2 or ezrom 2.2.1 , i think both have bootloaders , I prefer ezrom ( saved my phone after CM7 or miui )
Hi,
I got my samsung galaxy s gt-i9000 (in download mode) hooked up to odin (multi downloader 4.03), but whenever i try to flash a custom rom (created in romkitchen.org) it keeps saying ''check the image files !!'' i selected the 'one package' option, and i selected the rom at the bottom ''select integrate package'' section..
I'm clueless right now, please help?
Simple question are you following the how to instructions in rom kitchen .
Looks like you are not following the instructions .
Rom Kitchen + ODIN thats a new one on me .

Thanks you for the quick awnser, i will try to explain the problem.
For some darkbrown reason my clockworkmod recovery doesnt work anymore, so i cant get into recovery (with 3 button combo) And on top of that my phone cant load, it stay's stuck on the galaxy s screen. (i formatted data&system in recovery this afternoon) i can only enter download mode. So i'm trying to flash a new rom onto the phone but i cant get it to work with Odin3 or with odin multidownloader. with odin3 it stays stuck on the 'setupconnection' message, and with odin multi downloader it just say's 'check image file !!'
Where can i find the 'how to' instructions on the romkitchen.org website?
Excuse me if im a noob, im just trying to get me a better phone
Berry,
I am just querying your attempt to do something that's not in the instructions as far as i am aware .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817703
Very simple rules of flashing one backup and two if you do not understand what you are doing you brick your phone .
If you want to flash A NEW ROM YOU USE SAMFIRMWARE.COM roms and ODIN .
Custom rom via CWM
download a stock froyo rom follow instructions and flash with Odin with pit and repartition checked .
jje
Why did you format data and system??!!
