Sure I don't know about galaxy tab 7 plus, but try to flash stock rom via Odin and make sure to select re-partition when you select the pit file.
BTW you post this in the wrong forum.

Phone won't boot

I'm not sure what I've done, but I obviously wasn't paying attention. I had RyanZA's 2.3 beta lagfix installed and I decided to uninstall it using the supplied script. At some point I saw my phone reboot and I thought it had finished, but I don't really remember what happened after that.
Anyway, I've got it to the stage where it just shows the i9000 startup screen, goes black, then shows the i9000 screen again. I can get into recovery and I've got clockwork recovery installed as well, so I can get into that. I've used adb, but I can't get a log of it booting because it just says waiting for device and never gets past that stage. I used adb shell to see if I could manually process the scripts, but it looks like all the data and the backups of the data folders are gone.
I've wiped data in both clockwork and stock recovery, but I still can't get the phone to boot. System still looks ok, so I'm not sure why it's not working.
Anyway, my main question is, how can I get my phone back up and running? The mount usb option doesn't seem to be working, so I guess I'll have to use Odin or KIES, but what do I flash? Is there a link for a stock UK i9000 firmware somewhere?
Update:
Ok, I've got the phone working again, but after using Odin to flash the firmware, it reboots into recovery and I get the message can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
The phone boots ok, but I can't download anything from the market ("download unsuccessful" almost immediately)
Internet works fine, so I don't think that's the problem.
Further update:
After Odin has flashed, the phone boots into recovery with the following messages:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
update media, please wait ...
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 (invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
This was after flashing WJM6 with .513 pit
You can try this...connect your phone with KIES and update it with the official firmware. I have not tried this so I dont know if it will help you.
Thanks, I eventually got it to work by flashing the WJG5 firmware. It would probably help if I'd known what it was actually running in the first place.
Now I've got it working though, I might try connecting to KIES and seeing if there's an updated version.
hey there, is this resolved? i got mine working after
can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
but its still there. Do u know how to clean this error?
Update: I Fixed it by reflashing to WJG5 as stated above. BUT when i tryed reflashing with newer rom its still there..

Hello
I had the same and i solved through the guide here:
http://briefmobile.com/how-to-android-2-2-on-galaxy-s
But i think the problem really was that i have make an ext2 partition on sd-card.
I removed the sd-card during flashing.
Hi Guys, I'm looking for some help for a mate of mine who can't get his Samsung Galaxy S to start up.
The phone is box standard from Vodafone and only a couple of months old. It hasn't been rooted or tampered with in any way.
Today he decided to plug it into kies to check for updates and it showed him that there was an update available for his phone. he followed the on screen prompts and went about updating it. After it updated the phone just died on him. I have spoke to him over the phone to try and explain the 3 button recovery method to him but he still can't get it to boot up. He has sent me a photo of his phone so hopefully that may help for any potential advice. I'm no phone expert but could easily follow any instructions/ guides on flashing etc.
Any advice or help would be most grateful
Cheers, Sean
Pull out the usb cord.

If the phone can enter download mode, it can be rescued. Otherwise, it was definitely bricked.

Try to pull out the battery for 10 minutes. Then but the batteri back.
Then try to get in download mode.
If you can't, the try to see if odin see it.
If odin can see it try to flash back original firmware.
If you are lucky it can work.
If not then it seems very bad.

Thanks Damian, I will pass this info on to him tomorrow. I wish my mate lived closer so I could have a go at it myself.
i do have the exact same problem but flashing JM8 doesn't solve it.
in odin 1.3 with re-partition enabled I used s1_odin_20100512.pit, CODE_I9000XWJM8.tar.md5 as PDA and MODEM_I9000XXJM4.tar.md5 as phone
on startup I still get "E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (Invalid argument)"
any ideas please?

Why dont you flash crc also?
Try to do a complete flash.
Then go in recovery more and do wipe catch and a factory reset.
If you manage to get it to boot do format your internal sdcard.

[Q] failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

Once wiped and rebooted stills shows the next message:
E:failed to mount /data (invalid argument)
E: copy_log_files_to_data :: can't mount /dataRebooting
Could the inner partition be restored?
The phone admits recovery and download options, but any (official or not) rom can be installed without access to the damaged inner partition.
pd. it's a samsung galaxy ace s5830i, which was rooted and enhanced with the LINK2SD app and nothing more (no previous overclocking, no flashing attemp)
Thanks in advance.
In Odin, put the .pit file, and tick "Repartition" (your phone must be in the download mode).
This should (yes, SHOULD) work.

[Q] need help with bricked captivate

my son got the captivate and I upgraded it OK to AOCP 4.1 (I believe). He went and messed around with it and got it in a bricked state. Its a long story but here's where I am now:
On power up, it goes to the At&T world phone screen and stays.
If I hold both buttons while powering on, it goes to the stock recovery screen but reports:
Media files copy failed.

It no longer shows up in Odin All I can ever get is it showing up as two removable drives in windows, that say "please insert media" (or whatever). If I insert an sdcard in the slot it won't show up in one of the drives.
Help!
Have you tried getting into download mode? If you can your best bet would be to revert to stock using a one click. There's a sticky thread in the development section for the one clicks. I suggest kk4 it will do a complete wipe and should get you back up and running on gingerbread. From there you'll just need to Odin a custom kernel and then you can flash to whatever ROM you would like.

and the thread I linked to near the end before the user got his fixed.
Heeeellpppp
I have this Samsung Galaxy tab GT-p1000 whose applications are getting error message of "force close", I tried to delete all the installed applications, restored factory settings but It doesnt seem to uninstall all the applications, So I decided to
upgrade it from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to ICS after installing it I got an error message of "Encryption Unsuccessful", So tried resetting it, rebooting, wiping factory settings, wiping cache but nothing happened, I even removed the sdcard before rebooting it but still I got the same error message.
I got frustrated and made a stupid mistake, I formatted everything thru recovery mode, format /data, format /sdcard, format /system and all. Yes every possible format. Here comes the problem when I rebooted the system, I only got the "Galaxy Tab, Samsung" screen. I can't enter recovery mode anymore, I can still enter download mode but my pc won't recognize it, so Odin can't recognize it too. What should I do now? HEEEELPPPP pleassseeeee :crying:
If Odin can't recognise it, use a new PC.
Many have done so, even one last week.

Thanks for your Help.
same comment here as in there.
It is either the partition is screwed up or the NAND chip is bad.
If you did Odin with PIT file and repartition ticked, and didn't come back alive like the other forumer there, then your internal NAND chip is bad.
There are several threads dealing with how to use external SD only and on damaged internal SD.

Sir, it seems that this internal chip problem is a huge problem for gtab7 users.. is it better if someone make the tutorial on how to use the external sd to stickies so ppl can notice it? Thanks..
