[Q] Endless bootlooping with rfs format failed - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Yes, I am aware there are threads about rfs format, but Ive tried everything possible and i cant get anywhere!
First the phone had a bootloop problem as the battery was pulled as the phone wasnt responding in any way, shape, or form. Trying to reboot, i got bootloops. Flashed a stock rom to it (December 2011, Open Europe from Samfirmware). This didnt do nothing!
Tried flashing the two pit files to it, nothing. Then tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140 - didnt do nothing to help. Still bootlooping.
Its got the following displaying:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Any help guys?
Thanks.

try using different Odin dude... and if still does nothing try using the Darky Rom Odin Version Resurection 10.2.. with re-partition check.. it uses Voodoo Lagfix to change to Ext4 so you wont run into RFS partition if ever.. try it

I had similar problems. Try flashing a new CSC, MODEM and PDA. Using a different CSC is probably what worked for me.
Which firmware did you use?
I downloaded the
GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8
but cant seem to get the flashing to work, And there are many files to choose from
I had same problem when flashing JM8.
I skipped the PIT with tick repartition in the first place.
Did you use OCLF in your previous firmware ?
I then followed all steps correctly and all went fine.
So what was the solution for this. Ive tried flashing the original ROM back but it keeps giving me the same error. Ive tried repartioning, not repartioning, pit 512, different ROMS. Im stuck in this loop. Can someone please try to help me out?
EDIT: fixed. Flashed JM8 with .512 repart, then flashed with the Telstra DVJH3 ROM. Back to stock.
Same problem with a mexican Galaxy S.
Solution:
1) Flash JM8 with 512 repart. Note, Result: phone doesnot work at first boot, but at least try to load, discard error and enter in Download Mode
2) Flash JPM with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.1
3) Flash JPY with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.2.1
Result: Galaxy S with Working Froyo again!!
Thanks you all for sharing.
No need. Just flash stock XXJPU ROM... it's all you need since DBDATA is broken and that firmware contains the file, which isn't in most others...
go to my profile. and look for a thread called my trick to unbricking a soft brick or sonething download the file dbdata.rfs.tar and flash without a pit in odin

[Q] Failed Installation with Darky's 5.2

Okay, the more I try the more I think my phone is hosed. I don't understand what went wrong but something did, and it is seemingly impossible to fix. (I'm on Bell if it matters any)
So, I tried to install Darky's 5.2 ROM yesterday. All was going well. I got JPU installed fine and it booted perfectly. The next step was to flash CFRoot with Odin.
Upon flashing CFRoot, my phone started to loop the Galaxy S GT I9000 screen (the one before the boot screen)
It would not stop looping this screen. So I tried to flash back to JPU, no luck. Same looping.
I flashed to JH2 & JM8. Instead of looping the screen, it goes into recovery. I get the following in red text:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:copy default media content failed.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11
(Invalid Argument)
Now I'm at a loss for what to do. Every 2.1 firmware yields the same problems at the recovery menu. Every 2.2 firmware loops the Galaxy S screen (screen before bootscreen)
I've flashed to JPU multiple times, flashed to JP6 multiple times. I've tried different kernels (super optimized and Voodoo) and all give the same results. Nothing is working.
What can I do? Is my phone dead?
EDIT: Looks like my phone is dead.... Internal SD card killed itself.
Off to the Bell store I go....

Well, I did the same as I was foolish enough to install a wrong Kernel from CF-root thread. Did you download the right Kernel for your ROM? (JPU)
Its just a matter of download the right Kernel but flashing Darjy's ROM makes it slightly complicated as it has a Voodoo Kernel. You need to flash a stock Froyo using Odin with repartition enabled. Then move on to Custom ROM.
Hope this helps.
CF-Root caused me the same problem!!!
I think this might be causing Bell cards to die.
I can't seem to fix this... I've tried repart. with 512 pit and the three JM9 files.. I've tried JPU, JK3, JH2... exact same results.
Any suggestions?
I tried to flash stock JPU, then CF-Root... to install Doc's ROM... but after I flashed CF-Root, got the same problem.

Are you sure you are using the right Kernel? All the firmwares have different root kernels. And also, I hope you are putting the CF-root file to PDA, without repartition ticked.

[Q] Plz HELP!!! Galaxy S not Booting

I tried using Rynza's lagfix on galaxy I9000 running on 2.2. once done, the phone restarted but never came back. every time I see a black screen after the silver Samsung logo disappears. Tried re-flashing with the same rom i was having before, using ODIN. but the same issue persists.
please help. I think I bricked the phone....
if you can get it into download mode still youll be ok, as you can reflash the stock rom and try the lagfix again
you should try to flash xxjpu from samfirmware.com and pit.512 included and make sure that you tick "repartition"
hope it's going to help you
I was running I9000DDJP6. Once the boot screwed up, i re-flashed with I9000DDJP6 and I9000BVJJPD. both r froyo. As suggested, I shall try with xxjpu
I am using Odin 3 V1.3, what are the options should i choose? I mean apart from re-partition?
The phone is still keeps on vibrating with a black screen
Now when I flashed it...i got this error
On first boot I get
Can not mount / dev/block/stl10 (Invalid argument)
copy_dbdata_media: Can not mount DBDATE
Not Prepared your storage yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
default copy content failed half
Any idea how do i fix it?
Try fresh flash. 2.1 eclair with 512.pit. After that new firmware via odin.
do i need to re-partition?
guys the issue is fixed....my phone is back online.....thanks all of you....and special thanks to trustsyzaa....i flashed with xxjpu and its on again!!! CHEERS

Have you flashed 3 file stock rom with Odin plus repartition checked and pit 512. Then done a second flash of same 3 file stock rom with repartition unchecked and no pit file?
XXJVU
Tri flashed XXJVU firmware.
I've had this error and this saved my phone! Flash a stock ROM (I used 2.3.6 xjw4) then boot it up it will not load up but then turn it off after everything has finished put it into download mode put this file in the PDA section of Odin and flash then watch your phone come back to life! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140

Not sure what xgamer Rom is but I found generally if you flash a stock Rom with Odin, a pit file and re-partition checked you should flash the Rom a second time without the pit file and have re-partition unchecked. Hope that helps

It maybe that you need the dbdata.rfs to work to sort the issue out

GT-I9000 Flashing Problem

Hello everyone,
Basically I work at a phone fixing store and costumer came in with a GT-I9000, it was broken and boot looping.
So I downloaded a stock rom and I flashed it with Odin (1.7)
Flash Went good but after that it booted in recovery, showing a loading bar and then it gave me an error:
Red lines in recovery say: E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
the other one says Data wipe failed.
Basically i kind of tried everything: flashing different custom roms, flashing cm 10 and 11 which gave me the waiting for sd card to mount error
i tried flashing other custom roms that gave me a bunch of enable to mount errors
can you guys help me solve this ?
and thanks.
Odin 1.7 is fine, try to flash JVU with repartition and Pit file xxx512
