SGS Back to life using a jig.. now what?

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.

The only problem now is it's back to stock...
oh phone, how can I crash you next?
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!

[Q] partition reformat

Hi Guys,
I have CM7 installed and wanna try different ROM.
I realized that CM7 runs on MTD/yaffs2 , thus I need to reformat my falsh partitions to either ext4 or original RFS depending on the ROM I will flash.
I am wondering how can I do so?
I am concerned with bricking the phone if I combine wrong partition format and ROM.
Thanks for your help!
-----------
I have CM7.1/baseband XXJVK

Just flash back a full firmware with pit and repartition checked and your file system will be reformatted to rfs

Disable the lagfix if you have one, and go like slaphead20 said

Shall I keep that empty or need also to be flashed.

[Q] Flash from a MDT ROM to a Non MDT rom bootloop

Is there anything i can do? I've tried flashing the stock firmware via odin and it flashes fine, but hangs at the samsung logo, wipe of cache and factory reset dosen't help a bit. Im' able to flash the aopk rom without the bootloop. How is that possible?

When you flash stock, did you choose the pit file and repartition?

Newest AOKP is MTD now, hence the no bootloop. Odin the stock with the repartition and the pit file and youll be good.

its mtd, not mdt
please use the latest version of odin and the correct pit file
you will return to ext in no time

[Q] [GT-I9000] want to unbrick

Hi,
I have an SGS I9000[bought in INDIA] which i guess the international version.
After an upgrade to ICS my SGS[I9000] does not turn on. After that i tried many official firmwares[XXJPU,XXJPY,XXJVA] via odin but with none my SGS turned on.
With only firmware version DDJF2,DDJG4 its booting up but "Touch" is not working.
Can please somebody guide me to turn my SGS alive!!!
Thanks...

Not sure but did you try odin with pit512 repartition checked.? Also try flash twice first with pit512, repartition checked and 3 file stock rom, second time repartition unchecked and 3 file stock rom.
Alternatively search for darky resurrection 10.2 rom on Google and follow instructions in blou post. Has a single download with all you need

I already did the flashing with/without re-partition checked.
I would like to ask two things
1>is it safe to flash with Darky`s Rom as their is no CSC files?
2>Is PDA/CSC/Modem are all together in Darky`s zip File?
Thanks...

Here's a link to my simple recovery kit, contains ezbase gb ROM, ezodin, and cf root kernel, and brief instructions.txt, unzip and give it a go of you want

[Q] HELPPPPP please soft brick

Hey peeps iv got a big problem it happened yesterday with my Galaxy note GTn7000. I was on stock ICS LPT and was flashing new kernels through CWM when suddenly my phone just kept freezing on the Samsung screen when I start it up and it has been happening since yesterday. I think it was the speedmod ICS kernel that I flashed that made this happen. I flashed Abys kernel through odin and could get in to CWM. I did factory reset/wipe cache/dalvik/cache and then flashed checkrom which was on my SD card. Installation was fine but then it got stuck on the Galaxy note startup screen. I was searching for answers on the XDA forums and someone suggested that you flash a stock full wipe GB rom. So I tried to flash LC1 open Europe rom and was waiting for an hour the the rom to flash through ODIN which had only a bit left on the bar to flash and it didn’t flash it just froze. I tried 3 times and the same thing happened . I have used the USB jig to erase previous downloads and reset binary count. I flashed ICS LPT rom through odin and it flashed normally but when it starts up it gets stuck on the Samsung screen. Any suggestions? I can get into download mode and CWM so it means Im in a softbrick. Do you think I should download an ICS rom and put it on to my SD card and then try flashing it ? Help would be appreciated thanks.
Here is the video of what happens. Basically i have waited for 4 hours yesterday and it just stays on the samsung screen

Hey, Id recommend you flashing back to GB via ODIN before we continue.
ICS still has a few bugs and that could interfere with getting you back up and running.

Hey thanks i will download a new GB stock rom, i cant post the video link because im a new member dang...

So you've extracted the original tar file, you don't need to, just point the original tar file to the pda section of pc odin, it will sort out each partition for you.

Is it a rar. Or a zip? If it's a rar, re download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997 then extract one level with 7zip to get the tar file.
