How to go RFS stock rom from EXT4.

I converted to EXT4 for a few day. MaDaCo Kernel r3 + Overcome 1.02 rom.
I want to convert back to RFS Rom. so I flashed ODIN 1.7 with JME.tar(it's signed)
already "wiped data/factory reset","wipe cache partition" on recovery screen.
Now i've got samsung logo boot loop and error message on Recovery
update medai, please wait
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (Invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
you storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
copy default media content failed.
issue was solved.
Solution: flash with Roto-JMEv4 FULL with P1_and_hidden.pit + Re-Patition
After done,reboot with up+power.

Yes.
ODIN 1.7 (windows 7)
Checked Re-Partition
PIT file : P1_and_Hidden.pit
PDA : JME.tar (download from fus.samsung)
does it need csc and phone file or other pda file?

I would try using Roto-JMEv4 FULL. Use the P1_and_Hidden.pit and flash that together with repartition ON. That JME.tar I think is incomplete. My friend tried it before and it crapped out on him. After which, clear the cache and factory reset from Recovery mode to make sure everything is clean during boot.

Have you tried flashing Paul O'Brians rfs kernal and then flashing one of the other roms. As the kernal you have installed/flashed is ext 4 only. You need his rfs kernal to auto convert back to rfs. He links to it in his kernal post.
Hope this helps

If your phone goes in to download mode you can flash, using Odin, a full stock firmware.
Have you ever update it since you've bought it?

I have a problem saying Cant Mount sdcard

I have the exact same problem as ysr84.. When i click "reboot system now" it just goes back into the boot loop.
Also.. My phone does go into download mode.. I have tried to flash using Odin3 but get the image as ysr84.. My phone then repeats the boot loop sequence..
PS. I do not know which firmware the phone started with, I have been flashing with JVR.
Since I bought the phone I have not tried to update it, I think there was no available update.. =/ not 100% sure..
Although when flashing with JVR I get the "Can't mount etc"

Hello, I have tried to flash my phone with 'any' firmware as I do not know which firmware my phone was on before.

It maybe a trouble with partition.
You can try to re-virgin your phone by flashing an old eclair (JM8/JM9) firmware always using odin with pit 512, re-partition flagged.
Be careful if using a copy with bootloader.
After that (if phone boot regurarly) you can get any gingerbread firmware, obviusly if you used in the previous step bootloader for eclair firmware, than you'll get a copy of gingerbread with it's bootloader.
But i'm not sure this helps you.
Hope you solve this, guy.

What do you mean by bootloader?

If you, using 7ZIP, extract the archive PDA.TAR.MD5, from a package firmware with 3 files+pit512, you'll find boot.bin and sbl.bin.
boot.bin --> primary bootloader
sbl.bin --> secondary bootloader
I hope you don't mean what does a bootloader with your question.....

You'll have to try flashing different ODIN or Heimdall Stock builds. Unfortunately, it may or may not fix your problem. Make sure you have a USB Download Jig just in case because you'll probably get times where it looks like it won't turn on and its the only way to get it back up and running. If all else fails and your warranty is still intact, use it. These are the early signs of internal SD Card failure. If warranty is not an option, you should be able to use the external as your primary partition and lose the internal completely. Its what I'm doing currently on my i9000M with the infamous broken internal SD Card. My internal SD Card is gone completely but everything is running under my External SD Card perfectly.

Okay, so it's included within the three files + pit. That's okay, I thought there was more then four files after the extraction.. I am downloading JM8... Will tell you how I get on.

Could you perhaps guide me on how to do so, I also think my internal SD CARD is also "buggered"..
Thanks in advance..

Woah WOAH WOAH HAHAHA!... Its alive... slightly! It turns on with the galaxy S logo and does some sort of sound thing.. =/ then turns off! But wahay!... Thanks Umberto1978..
I did this by first flashing JM8 PDA with repartition off...
Then flashing JM1 PDA PHONE AND CSC WITH 512 PIT...
on restart this happened..

Sure. This is what I did on my i9000M. Internal SD Card is useless so everything is now running off my External 8 GB microSD.
Go to this page and grab Heimdall and JVT build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
Heimdall: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
JVT: http://www.multiupload.com/QMORULUWRQ
ODIN may work but I haven't tried it out myself and the packages above are made specifically for Heimdall. Set up Heimdall along with its specific drivers (included in Heimdall) to allow it to flash the phone.
- Make sure you have an external SD Card in your phone and make sure its formatted to FAT32.
- Flash the Heimdall JVT build with repartion checked using Heimdall
- Once it reboots, it'll try to format the SD Card but fail to do so and give you an error message. Ignore it and reboot the phone.
- It should now boot into Stock JVT firmware. If you go to your Storage under settings, you'll notice that Internal and External SD Card will be unavailable which is expected. You'll have 2 GB of internal storage for apps and whatever other things.
- You have two options here: 1) Continue using stock JVT; 2) Flash a custom ROM.
So let's say you want to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or MIUI. Fire up Heimdall again and go back into download mode. Flash the CF-Root for JVT kernel by Chainfire using Heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15188469&postcount=9
This will allows you to flash CWM files. You can now install Cyanogemod or whatever custom ROMs you like.
Switching the primary partitions:
Cyanogenmod has a setting where you can switch the primary partitions in Cyanogenmod settings.
Cyanogenmod Settings --> Application --> UNCHECK use internal storage --> Reboot. Your External SD Card will now be the primary partition.
For myself, I am currently running Galnet's MIUI ICS. It doesn't have the Cyanogenmod settings above. I instead use the vold.fstab trick to switch the two partitions. If you navigate to "system/etc" folder, you'll see a file called vold.fstab. Open it with Notepad++ or some other note editor. You'll see the following (this is only for Galnet's MIUI, other ROMs will have something similar. Just switch the partitions like below):
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0[/U]
# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2[/U]
Switch the two underlined around and push the vold.fstab back into system/etc/ and put the correct permissions. Your external card will now be your primary partition and your internal SD card (unavailable) is the external.
So why switch the partitions? You don't necessarily have to but if you want your phone storage to be neat, do it as it changes your sdcard mounts around, etc. You'll also get back USB mounting functions which you can't do with the internal storage being unavailable and the primary partition.

Yeah unfortunately, you have the dreaded Galaxy S bootloop. Internal SD Card is probably toast. You can test this by removing the External SD Card and trying to boot. It most likely won't get as far. What happened is that ODIN flashed Android to your external card and trying to boot off it.

I have tried to use heimdall, and once it had loaded and the phone rebooted I did get the error message, however after ignoring this, once I had rebooted the phone it goes back into the boot loop.?

Have you tried reformatting your external SD Card? Just format it to FAT32 and then try again. Also, first boot may take a few minutes. You can verify that its booting fine by using logcat if you have ADB installed on your computer.

Flash jm9 mate, not jm8. Seems to resurrect better. With odin. Pit 512 with Repartition.

I am at work but will give this a shot... I also found a lot of people resolved problem by using JM8 with repartition and 512 pit
then with JPM & pit 803 with no repartition ticked...
Use Odin 1.3... 1.8 wont allow you to tick and untick with a repart file...
Will post results tonight... its been two days and i have tried everything...

[Q] Lots of errors

So hey all,
Recently my Galaxy just stopped working. At home I tried to install new firmware. Then I got a lot of errors.
This is what I get when I go in my Recovery Mode:

When I install new firmware I get errors the same like this.
Now I have tried to install all firmwares (from 2.2.1 to 2.3.6) and nothing works.
I had my Galaxy running on a costum ROM (I don't remember the name, it was something with Ario).
What to do? I'm quite lost..

solutions for /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 or /mmcblk0p1 or /mmcblk0p0 are all never the same, it all depends on as to what caused the format failure .
You can try flashing the same ROM twice or more with different PIT ( i9000 has 3 PIT files)
But if the problem was caused by Lagfix, which you had failed to undo before a factory reset or upgrade...than your Internal SD card needs to be reformatted back to rfs.(vfat) ..which is why the stock ROM fails to solve the problem as your current format is in ext 4.
So nothing will work, IF your internal SD card had been converted to Ext 4 format, until you find a way to format it back to vfat.
For Korean version of Galaxy S , flashing an Eclair will solve all problems except this lagfix problem. So you can try the Eclair for i9000 at My Android Collections
Suggest you try to format your Internal SD card ( remove ext SD card and Sim Card) , before trying any ROMS

I tried installing a ROM by factory formatting and cache formatting in CWM and then installing the ROM on install zip from sd card. In 1 second after attempting to install this ROM, CWM crashed and i wasnt able to use CWM again. So after googling how to 'unbrick' my SGS i found some method - flashing a stock ROM using downloading mode (middle button, Volume down, power button) then using ODIN and firmware from Sammobile. I tried this and NOW i get a bootloop and in in Android system recovery <3e>
