if u can get to download mode just flash it via odin

I tried this

pretisni i drzi Power + Volume down i home sve u jedno dok ti se ne pojavi DOWNLOAD moze frajer sa lopatom.
onda pokrenes ODIN program skines ne odradjeni cumstom sa PDA ,PHONE i SSC
i cekiras prozor sa re-patition i start

Try flashing via odin with pda, phone, Modem files..
Which Rom are you trying to flash?

I trying
XXJVU, XXJVK(2.3) and other roms.....

Does anyone know

What firmware you're using at the moment?

XXJVK 2.3.3

And you tried to flash newer stock firmware (JVU) with Odin?
CODE = PDA
MODEM = PHONE
CSC = CSC
Just put those files in and start.

Yes...

Have you tried to flash it with CMW?

the i9000 can't be dead the best phone

Odin flash with pit-file as well?

doawnload XWJVZ stock rom enter in dowload mode open Odin select pit file put in pit file in odin select repartion and flash; then remove battery and again enter in doawnload mod and in odin put ABOOT file in BOOTLADER ,CODE in PDA,MODEM in PHONE,
CSC in CSC and flash (NOT check repartion in Odin) good lock

can not. I tried 1000 times and can not
My only chance is to transfer ROM to external card and flashing ROM with CWM. It may be ok?

Roms should be flashed form internal sd card.
Do you use rfs file system maybe you have something else and that can cause problem.

I have no idea what I use but I know that nothing can adjust.

Have you tried to reflash your Galaxy with Odin?
Downloads:
Odin
JM5 Firmware PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
PIT 512
Howto:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (PDA=CODE, .PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Remove the SD card and SIM card from the phone.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.If the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

Your SGS is not broken you are just doing things without the right knowlegde.
Don't do things you don't understand !!!
Read before you do something !!!
Yes i have flashed mtimes with odin and successfully but this time its differrent i can't flash any rom and i keep having that error above
Welll it worked when i changed the .pit file which came with Odin to your .pit file and mine was 513 yours 512...but at the end when it booted there was one red line about some sytem ... it went fast so i could'nt read it but anyway thnx alot
You always have to use the correct PIT File for a Firmware.

yes .i tick re-repartition , and it can't start after flashing 2.1 rom or 2.2 rom
somebody said "when some date is writing during the voodoo runing,at that time power off by accident could make SD Card block"
"E:\" can't wipe , how can i fomat E: partition ?
i'm keeping on wait
thank you
lets get this correct download mode works
Flashed to Eclair but still fails to boot as voodoo was enabled /is enabled .
Therefore phone cannot be seen by PC and cannot boot to format .
can you get into clockwork recovery mode and format from that and wipe all data .
You said

What software was this you downloaded .
You get no other answers it will have to be a Samsung service centre .

thank you very much ~
i'm not good at English , so "Eclair" means 2.1 rom ?
1. when it turn off i can't get in recovery mode ,so voodoo is enabled when i flashed 2.2 rom .
2. i used a software named "UC xunlei" to down a salmpe 720P RMVB video at that time . then it turned off.
3. clockwork recovery can't use . only samsung recovery mode can get in.
4. my i9000 was sending to Samsung service centre yesterday, but they said "maybe they can't repair it either"
"sigh................."
I'll try to walk you through step by step through a method that has never failed..If it still fails then your internal SD might have issues..
1. Download XXJPU firmware from samfirmware.com
http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5
The password to this zip file is: samfirmware.com
Once the file is extracted, you will have 4 files in it:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100512.pit
2. Open Odin
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5 The file that has MODEM in its file name.. SORRY!!!!!
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
7. If you still encounter the same error then report back here... I might have another idea. Hopefully you don't get the error again though...
Edit:
If that fails you can read this guy's post..
This guy seemed to have been lucky and got is supposed dead I9000m SGS working again. Here's his procedure:

That solution looks fine but i'm in worst situation ever since i can't do this:
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
My phone is stuck in the fisrt screen.( with this text Samsung Galaxy s i-I9000)
i can't enter in download mode, i also noticed that even the battery icon doesn't show up i only get loading icon not the battery one. Please help.
damnit, i tried the method anoneemooz posted. But Odin just stops after a couple of minutes flashing, and gave me the error message: Couldn't write to...
I can go in download modus and in recovery mode, but i cannot flash a ROM. I tried a couple of 2.2.1 ROMS
it dispaly " DATA_LOOP=FALSE CACHE_LOOP=FALSE DBDATA_LOOP=FALSE BIND_DATE_TO_DBDATA=FALSE"
now, i still can't wipe or fomat my internal SD Card
notice"E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(invalid argument)"
also it shows "Error mounting /mnt/sdcard/ android_secure!
Skipping format..."
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Should that not be MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
Ignore it if i am wrong .

Oops yeah sorry..copy pasted the wrong thing for that part.
To OP: It seems as though you have a dead internal SD unfortunately..Well I could be wrong.
3 Button Fix for any firmware of SGS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=785201
To all who run into Odin problem:
SORRY!!! For PHONE it should be the file that says MODEM in its filename. Copy pasted wrong name.
Download jg5 from samefirmware.com
Close everything relatet to keys and nps. Check in the tray and close if its running there. Use Odin3 v 3.1 and make sure u put the files in the right place:
PDA=Code
Phone=Modem
CSC=CSC
As pit download 512.pit
Check repartition.
AFTER tgis put ur phone in download mode and connect it.
Thrn click start and let it do its thing. If it doesnt work just try 3 or 4 times. Always been able to fix the error u get like this

[Q]Failure to mount /SDCARD

Hello, I have been on Draky's rom 10.1 , today I noticed that my phone SGS was stuck at the first boot screen , i tried restarting it , and still would get stuck on the screen , then I tried to reflash it with darky's rom wouldn't help. I tried to reflash with original 2.3.3 still the same. The nature of the issue is it would freeze at the boot screen , and when I got to the recovery menu i get into Android System recovery (3e) even when flash with darky's rom through Odin. the following is displayed in recovery menu:
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
and I can't do anything with it, tried to flash 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 versions same thing ... at the best I was able to get into samsung animation and after that the phone would just go dead, until I physicaly remove battery. I tried to flash pit files separatly, then PDA, then PHone, and SCS from Odin still no results ... any suggestions gurus ???
You tried to flash pit files separately? So you used odin to flash three files
(PDA,CSC and PHONE) with a pit for repartition all at once because you don't repartition with pit files unless you have the other three files. I'd try Ezbase 3.0http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991792 with the specific odin and pit file plus the three .tar files is included in the post.
tried all 4 files at the same time , pit, pda, phone, csc same results ...
That's quite weird then. I would try the ezbase I suggested above though, worth a shot

cannot flash stock firmware?!

was installing jvq for darkyrom via odin and got the following errors below after the flash. now getting the same thing with the stock rom downloaded the jvt from sammobile.com flashed via odin rebooted to recovery and same errors please help im phoneless
copying media files...
e:failed to mount /dbdata ( file exists)
e:copy_dbdata_media;can't mount /dbata your storage not prepared yet. please use ui menu for format and reboot.
# manual mode #
e:format_volume: rfd format failed on /dev/block/st110
Flash a ROM with 3 files. Generally all the firmwares with 1 file only miss the DBData file.
Why JVQ? There are many newer firmwares out there.
Use odin 1.85.
Pun in download mode (press down-vol + home +power together at phone off)
Download stock rom.
Use pit file and put it in PIT.
use CODE file and put it in PDA
use PHONE file and put in in phone.
use sgh-* file and put it in CSC.
mark repartition flag.
lean bootloader empty
flash it.

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
Want to 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)
Install ROM from Zip Card
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Hope this helps you or SEE HERE COMPLETE WALKTHROUGH

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 .
