[Q] Samsung Galaxy S: Black Screen after Flash

I have a SGS with firmware I9000XWJG5 and Root. I tried to do a Speed fix, but afterwards it was slower so i tried to flash the phone with the I9000XWJG5 firmware again.
After the flash, the phone rebooted and i came to the recovery menu. There the phone wrote:
update media, please wait
and in the next lines:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Now when i try do start the phone, i get a black screen after the bright S
What i have tried: Flash agein with and without re-partition and Factory Reset
Has anybody an idea what i can do?
and sorry for my bad english

bump. can anyone help with this topic..
i am having some problem..
help us guys
thanks
Fixed... use odin 512

Thread moved in Galaxy S I9000 General.

I can definately help with this one, as I worked through it last night...
I found that if you're trying to flash the JG5 rom (as mentioned in Modaco's thread) with the 513 Pit file, then you'll get the black screen of despair!! For some reason the two combination of the two don't work.
However, if you do a google search for Odin PIT 512, then download this file
You will be able to download the 512 PIT file instead. Now use this in Odin3 to flash the JG5 rom and you should have no further issues....it worked for me.
I also discovered that Samsung have just released a later firmware, so I just flashed this one on top of the JG5 one...I have a nicely running phone now.
Hope this helps...it did me!
Mike

Mine was completely knackered. Couldn't get to recovery either. Flashed Modaco's MCR R3, after the JG5 flash, using all the files in the JG5 download. Working a treat...
Cheers,

Same here.
I tried JS3 and going back to JP6....and always the same result.
I'm obviously missing something. Maybe my 512.PIT is corrupted. I get the black screen and the same /dev/block.st110 errors in recovery.

i beleive you need to have a CSC file also for the odin flash.
i sorted mine like this:
Downloaded some JP2 odin files [used this as this was the only one on Samsung-firmwares that had all 3 PDA, Modem and CSC Files. flashed this using a .512 pit in odin. - this allowed the phone to boot normally.
connected to Kies and using reg hack [set to XEU] managed to update to JPY.
the following the Darky guide, flashed the CF Root kernel, installed the ROM Manager from the market, using the recovery mode installed the update.zip file for clockworkMod.
Formatted everything in ClockworkMod
Factory Reset in ClockworkMod
Installed Darky ROM V8.0 Wipe

thanks for your find !

fix for black screen after flash with no recover or download mode working.
Hey All.
So like the subject says, you flash and then your phone restarts or whatever, and then you get the normal galaxy s startup, with the sound and the visuals, but then that's it. Henceforth you are greeted with the two lights (if its a Bell Vibrant) from your options and back keys.
To fix it use the attached file. Its called ADB or something - I just know it works. It was a fix for the galaxy s phones that didnt have the recovery/download mode stock.
so here is how it goes:
1. download adb to your desktop and unpack it (if its in winrar or zip or whatever) to a file folder named adb.
2. open a command prompt.
3. type "cd" and then the address of the "adb" folder. so for example it should be in C:\Users\your user name\Desktop\adb. where "your user name" is your user name a duh.
4. plug in your galaxy s via usb.
5. type "adb reboot download" in the command prompt. copy it using your mouse as well.
6. turn on your phone.
7. press enter in the command prompt, then keep copying and pasting and pressing enter until you see the download screen on your phone. each time you press enter it says device not connected or something but just keep trying.

can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"

[Q] Need PIT File for SCH-I800 VZW Galaxy Tab

Does anyone have the PIT file for use with the factory VZW Firmware. I found a copy of the original firmware to load with Heimdall and can get it to basically bring up a Samsung logo and I can get to download mode only.
I have tried 512 and 513 both give the same results. I can see the device when I do an ADB devices poll and I can reboot the phone into recovery and download but recovery hangs at the samsung logo as well.
Not a full blown brick since I can talk with it and work with it, I just need the correct files to reload.
Thanks in advance!!!

Anybody?
Are there any other possibilities as to what could be the root cause if its not the partition table? suggestions for ways to test?

Major Update!!!
Used Odin 1.7 to repartition with the P1 Pit, then switched to Heimdall to load a Verizon backup posted on another forum.
After about 5 mins in heimdall load the phone rebooted and now gives me access to the recovery mode but even after a wipe and reset the phone seems to bootloop at the verizon logo.
Definitely now know that for future Verizon is running the P1 Pit or at least close to it. 512, 513, and 803 would only freeze at samsung.
Edit.
I also now have regained access to the ADB shell, before I had adb and could see the devices but Shell came back with a "cannot locate in /system/bin/su"
Anybody have any suggestions on getting passed the revolving the Verizon bootup? just loops and vibrates.

Have you made any progress on ur tab? I am in the same exact situation, everytime i flash with heimdall 1.1.0 or 1.1.1 and the verizon stock rom found in the forums, my tab gets the phone and computer yellow triangle warning, the only way i can get it out is by using odin 1.70 and either the p1_add_hdden or the 909 pit to get it back to the verizon logo but with the vibrations and looping. If anyone has a known good pit file please please post it or direct me on how to extract one from my brothers tab.
Unfortunately my nandroid backup fails the md5 when i try using odin and im missing using it sooooo much :-(. thank you in advance for any help and i just have to say i try not to post as much as possible and do all the research i can but i am hitting a wall here and ive tried for days now

I am also in the same boat. I need a working PIT file

This is what you'll have to do
1. Turn off your device
2. Hold up volume button + power button
3. As soon as you see the Samsung logo, release the power button
4. With the up and down volumne button move up and down on the menu and select wipe data/factory reset option
5. Then press home
6. Finally, wait until it finish and select the reboot system now option and then press home

1. Make sure you have the drivers installed. If not search and download the Heimdall application and extract contents to a directory and look for the drivers directory. Then select Samsung USD composite device and then Install the driver.
2. You'll need to search for the correct stock file for youtr tab, then load it using the Heimdall program, follwing this instructions:
- The zImage goes in both the Kernel AND Recovery slot.
- The system.rfs goes in Factoryfs
- The Param.lfs goes in Param.lfs
- And the cache goes in the cache slot.
3. Finally hit Start
4. When it finish, you got to follow my post above

Bump for this thread. I need to restore my tab and need a working pit file. Anyone figure this out?

I'm in the same boat, got my tab jtagged and now need working Verizon .pit file to repartition. Has anybody got one yet?

Me too, somebody help me to find .PIT for verizon galaxy tab 7

BUMP... dl mode works heimdall flashes correctly but even after recovery mode cache and data wipe it still bootloops with the triple vibrate cant get past it... i assume it has something to do with the partitions from rfs to ext4 sooooooooo please can someone find a working cdma pit file

I'm in the same boat as you guys, really need a valid verizon pit file after a bad flash. Any help would be much appreciated!!

Try this pit file from my VZW tab.

If you can go to Recovery mode, try if you can successfully do a factory wipe. If you see error messages while doing factory wipe. Please include it to you post.
Please also specify what version of android you had last.

Download heimdall 1.3.1 then install. You can down pit file from it.

Sounds like a bad flash, can you get into download mode and try a reflash?

I just pulled out the battery to turn it off, and managed to get to download mode again. This time I tried odin 1.7. Odin says passed... but still the same error message

One thing I noticed that the re-partition check box on odin is checked when i put the pit file in there. I didn't realized it was checked so I clicked start with that on. It wasn't checked when I first opened the program. I just tried to reflash with it off, and same result

Is there no one here that can fix it?
I did some more searching around and found this post from the i9000 forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8683455&postcount=7
I guess I was suppose to uncheck re-partition and the stock rogers roms does not include cache.rfs and dbdata.rfs file inside.
Anyone know if there's a way to get a ROM that includes those files in them so I can reflash it?

here i used this stock 2.1 with odin 1.7 and it worked.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19201431/SGH-I896_UXJI2StockRogers2.1.zip
your phone isnt bricked. bricked is a specific thing and has a special screen.
flash 2.1 when doing stock. 2.2 stock includes 3e recovery and it requires all update.zip files to be digitally signed. there is a way around it but its extra steps. instructions here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=909213

I tried to flash to stock 2.1 with odin but same thing happened.
It boots into recovery and i can't do anything... except its 2e instead of 3e that i saw before.

whats the exact filesize of the tar you used?
also if you dont re-partition, you dont need a pit file. (the p stands for partition)

The exact file size for the TAR is 238 MB (250,420,736 bytes)
I didn't know PIT is re-partition until after the fact.

Ok, I'm going to see if I can get my phone in the same condition as yours and then fix it. BRB...
Broke it and fixed it. Details in a sec.
Ok my steps to break it:
Flashed UXJL1 with Odin 1.81 using 512.pit and repartition checked.
Boot lands in recovery with can't mount error.
Steps to fix.
Used Odin 1.81 to flash the JH2 firmware from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36.
Did not check partition, did not load a pit file.
I've seen that error before but I couldn't remember how I fixed it. I think the key is simply to Odin flash 2.1 firmware using no pit and no repartition. I chose the package above because it doesn't change your boot loader and is compatible with newer phones.

flash into the AT&T 2.1 with the one click, what you probably did was Odin into the rogers 2.2 without turnning off lagfix. for some reason the rogers version doesnt actually repartition your phone.

[Q] Flashing stock 2.2.1 ROM on branded i9000 questions.

A friend of mine is on a T-Mobile UK Samsung Galaxy S. He's stuck on a non-simlocked and non-netlocked 2.2 (JP3), T-Mobile UK aren't releasing 2.2.1 any time soon, and hence he wants to upgrade to an unbranded 2.2.1. He doesn't want to root it... he just wants to be on the same or similar firmware as I'm on (i.e. a stock, stable, UK, unrooted, no "lagfix", etc, 2.2.1).
He has Odin. He has the Windows drivers installed. But I have some questions.
I'm on JPY which has been perfect for me. Zero problems. Is there much advantage with JS5? What has changed/added between JPY and JS5?
Best place to get the European firmware is here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
Does he need just a pit file, or other files (e.g. tar) too?

JPY is the lastest UK rom pointless using anything else until its out for the UK
People here just love new numbers and letters.
if he is going from branded would be best to use a pit file. ( pit 512)
then flash the 3 JPY files.
I tend to debrand phones when I get them in as I don't think its fair being stuck on older versions.

So... download Odin + PIT from the top of that page I linked. Flash the 512 PIT using Odin with repartition. Download the JPY firmware from the same page. Flash the 3 files in there. Reboot. Done?
What about clearing cache? Factory reset?
Anything else?

Flashing with Odin will do the factory reset.

He selected repartition, and flashed the PIT file + JPY_JPY_JPY.tar at the same time (although I believe we've tried one at a time too).
Now when he reboots his phone it doesn't boot - it just vibrates.
He's tried going into recovery and clearing the cache, user data, factory reset, etc.
He can still get into download mode and recovery.
Any suggestions?

No, but samfirmware.com has all those firmwares.

Yeah they have JPY. However it's just a 512 PIT file. Is that all he needs?

Thats what i flash JPY with .
Error solving with a rom install i usually wipe everything flash back to eclair with 512 pit and repartition . That works i then flash to Froyo no repartition .
jje

Still no joy
OK, so as per the instructions above (I think), we made sure the SIM and SD card are removed. Connected the phone. With Odin, ticked Repartition, and then flashed the 512 .pit file. Waited until we saw the green box in Odin with Pass on it. Unplugged the phone and took the battery out. Put battery back in and booted the phone into download mode. Clicked Reset in Odin. Made sure re-partition was unticked. Made sure the pit file is no longer selected. Added the JPY_JPY_JPY.tar to the PDA section. Plugged in phone. Clicked start. Left it until we saw green pass. On restarting the phone, it to boots past the Galaxy S splash screen and tune then there's a single vibrate followed by a double, which then repeats.
Did we do something wrong? We noticed in Recovery there is an error displayed:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
What else can we try to get to JPY?
The firmware from samfirmware.com and the firmware linked from the firmwares post on XDA (mentioned earlier) both give an identical JPY_JPY_JPY.tar. We've been unable to find any firmwares with the three JPY files in it. Anyone have a link? Or any other things we can try?

You only use the PIT file and choose re-partition when you have the 3 separate flashing files.
When you have the singe JPY tar file you do not select re-partition and do not use the PIT file - do the following:
put phone into download mode
open Odin
choose your single JPY file as the PDA
make sure "re-partition" is UNTICKED
DO NOT select your PIT file
connect your phone to PC via USB
Odin will detect your phone - click start
let Odin do its stuff until your phone restarts
you are now on 2.2.1 stock
I always do an immediate factory reset.....it seems to sort out any lags or issues that you occasionally get after flashing
good luck!

When he tries to just the .tar without repartition or .pit, Odin fails.
When he tries to format the internal SD card from Recovery it says:
E:can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid arguement)
E:copy_dbdata_media:cant mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed
It could be that repartitioning previously has messed stuff up? Maybe the wrong PIT (we used 512)? I've read in a few places that Clockwork recovery can fix this. Thoughts?
Or is there a 3 file JPY option we can use?

So, according to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=784958#8180949 it seems we messed up the partitions by using the pit file originally with repartition. If JPY isn't a full firmware we'll need to flash back to a full firmware to fix it. For example he says "The reason for this screwup is because the JH7 tar package does not contain params or dbdata files, it's not meant to be a full installer- it's meant to be an upgrade. When you partitioned you deleted your existing dbdata and params partitions on your phone, so when JH7 tried to set them up they didn't exist."
We're going to try JPU (somewhere said that's a full update) with 512 pit + repartition, then if that boots update to JPY (no pit, no repartition).

FIXED!!!
After putting the three-file JPU on it from samfirmware.com with 512 pit and repartition, it booted up into 2.2.1 fine. We then flashed the JPY tar (no pit, no repartition), and it's working.
Thanks for the help guys.

Thats great news. X

you used odin to flash a cf-root kernel.. for some reason (either it was a wrong kernel or something else) your rom is not booting... the one I told to flash is a stock rom / darkryrom which comes with its own kernel..
If you are saying that you used the link I posted and then also you are having bootloop but still able to go to download mode then I don't know how to explain it..

As I said, a pic would be better to identify the problem... and if you are not facing any problem with darkyrom, flash that and then choose any rom of your choice and follow the instructions given in the first post of the rom to flash it...
I recommend staying on darky's for sometime and read about different roms and stuff to make a choice..

download the latest firmware from above link.. its a stock samsung firmware..
the zip file that you get here, unzip it.. there will be three files.. pda, modem (phone) and csc files.. download .pit file from here ..
in odin put all the 4 files.. tick repartition, reboot and reset time and flash.. this should make your phone work..

kies logo doesn't mean nothing? (maybe install only via kies)??
thanks a lot
EDIT: inside this zip file there is only a dll and a tar

It doesn't work with this firmware always the same problem
I think there is a problem with the internal memory, have you seen the first photo?
formatting data it gave me this:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
seems that it can't access to the memory

earlier you wrote that you could only find .tar and .dll file in the zip downloaded from sammobile.com, how were you able to flash that?
I read through the other threads.. found three more methods to try to get rid of this problem..
First one
using odin just flash the pit file first.. click on repartition but don't click on auto reboot... after its a success... flash rest of the three files I mentioned earlier (you didn't get those three files from the firmware you downloaded from sammobile.com, I don't know why, so maybe this won't work for you)
Second
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
use the above link to download Darky resurrection rom 9.2 .. its a froyo rom I know.. but first lets get your phone working then we can upgrade it to GB... This may work as I think it converts partitions to ext4 system (not sure) so that rfs system error that you were getting shouldn't cause any problems..
Third
Darky Resurrection 10.2
This also uses lagfix that is converting partition to ext4 but as mentioned in the link, it doesn't convert /system in ext4...
Also, go through the link below

maybe something in here could help

Try flashing .pit file only and then only .tar .. shouldn't make a difference but you never know

Keep an eye on this thread

a link will be posted here in sometime where you'll be able to get all the three files along with the pit file for the stock rom.. That is the last thing as per me that can rectify your problem.. once you get all the files.. flash... if that doesn't work then I'll suggest download the stock rom for your region from sammobile and flash it even if its just one tar file before taking it to the service centre
