[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.

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...

[Q] Sprint GTab bricked - Stuck at Samsung logo

Hello everyone,
I've been having a really bad time with my Spring GTab in the last few days... to keep it simple:
1. Had a stock GTab that was showing problems, most of the applications were crashing (force closed), but it was still usable after a reboot. On one of those reboots it did not came up any more and got stuck at the Samsung logo.
2. After researching on the forums, tried to install 2.3.3 following this procedure:
http://androidadvices.com/how-to-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-to-stable-gingerbread-2-3-3-firmware/
Odin successfully installed the ROM, got to recovery mode and tried to factory/clear cache. Showed errors... Stuck at Samsung logo again.
3. Tried to install the stock sprint EA24 following these steps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1009926
No matter what I do, Odin stops at recovery.bin and fails.
4. Following the suggestions there I then installed nomodem EJ30 successfully, but again got stuck at samsung logo. Tried to install the EA24 from there with no luck, still failing at recovery.bin.
So as of now, I am at the same point as at the beginning, stuck at the Samsung logo...
Guys this is driving me crazy... any help will be highly appreciated!!!!!!

Try to enter recovery and wipe everything.

Thanks for the reply, already did.... same results... something that I'm seeing in recovery is:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
Not sure if that's the problem....

Do a little search(there's a search botton) on this forum it's a common problem, already answered if I remember correctly. Hope it helps.

Did you try this ? The first boot always takes a little longer, be sure to let it boot long enough.

I already answer this in other treat. Anyway, i answer it again.
"you can always go back to the right path each time you lost your way"
lol
My meaning, flash back to stock rom that originally come with your tab and see how its going on.

[Q] tried to install TWRP on galaxy ace now wont boot

Hey. Im not sure if there is a thread similar to this or not, I tried looking around and cant see any. The one i did see, was for a tablet.
Here goes....
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i. It has gingerbread on. I rooted it 2 days ago as eventually I want to install JB onto it. I Tried to install TWRP (TWRP-2.4.1.0-cooper) onto my device, then rebooted after a 'successful' install. Only when I reboot, even now, it doesnt boot up. It gets to the Samsung screen, then stays there. Left it all night ( 12 hours or so ) and checked this morning, still the same.
HERE IS HOW I DID IT:
1. Rebooted into Recovery ( by holding Volume Up + Home + Power )
2. Apply update from sdcard
3. Scrolled to the file (TWRP-2.4.1.0-cooper)
4. Said successfully installed and rebooted.
I then swapped SD Card with another phone so i could remove this file of the Samsung phone, and replace with with recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix then put the SD Card back into samsung.
SOOO, today I tried the same procedure, but with another custom recovery (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-galaxyace-fix) and now I get this messages:
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
I have even used ODIN, and tried to flash that way, BUT IT SAYS MY PHONE IS NOT CONNECTED.
All I want to do now is be able to boot, NORMALLY so i can access my phone again. My phone is on contract, so I cant send it back as it has been rooted.
PLEASE HELP.
thanks in advance.
P.S ON THE ACTUAL RECOVERY PAGE, I GET THIS ERROR MESSAGE:
E:failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

Go to Galaxy Ace i 5830 development and install a suitable recovery..n then proceed..

Stopped reading after I read the first para
Your device is completely f-ed up and there is no way of recovering it except for service center/jtag
