SGS Back to life using a jig.. now what?

I messed up my Bell SGS playing with odin.
Lost the 3 button options and ended up hacking a jig to get it into DL mode. done
Goal - a Functioning phone. Now what?
Thinking I should odin the I9000M_JL2_JL2_JL2_JL2_UG_BMC.tar.
But with or without repartition?
Can I use any 512pit?
I think repartitioning is where i messed it up.
Now all of this happened because I wanted seeARMS.JL2.v0.4 but couldn't update with the <3e> recovery mode.
Knowing that seeArms is my second (first?) goal, is there a different firmware I should flash something other than BMC to give me back update functions, but stable to resuscitate my phone?
There's ages of material here and I don't want brick my phone or waste time, I've done enough of that by myself.. now I'm looking for some expert opinion.
thanks

Best option for bell users is darkys rom. For further info check darky's rom info

Flash the stock JL2 firmware with Odin the use super one click to root your phone then flash a new kernel with SGS Kernal flasher from the market... then u will have clockwork recovery then wipe and flash seeArms! Its a great rom but not as fast as darkys
Get the stock firmware from samfirmware.com u can get the .pit file from there to

So the stock JL2 that I have is a .tar and .dll
I have a 512.pit from a beta 2.2 , are they different?
Did I mention boot problems too? Hanging @ Samsung, no splash ani.
I guess the .pit means yes on repartition?
Thanks

Just use the stock firmware and .pit from samfirmware.com and when Odin is open do not tick off repartirion... just put the .pit in it's spot and the tar in th's PDA part and flash

some threads say dead, others make ref. to old builds.
any current ideas?

Download a full firmware for your model and locale (with dbdata in it) and flash it with repartition with the pit proposed (samfirmware.com) then, I believe, you will have a full functioning phone. If everything is ok, then flash ... whatever.

It's Alive! - Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 fixed.
Hey All,
Got it all working again.
Repaired: Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
the fix: A full firmware (pda/csc/phone/pit) flash w/repartition.
Flashed w/repartition - I9000XXJP2.7p. (the only FULL firmware I had on-hand)
on reboot the system does a media check and was successful in reformatting and mounting the internal SD.
Phone didn't like the ROM and still logo of death, but..
A quick Jig into Download Mode..
Flashed I9000UGJL2_homebinary_add_param.tar with no repartition
(can't remember if I used .pit).
And Success!! my phone is alive and running 2.2
Thanks for the help, and hopefully this thread can help others.
Everyone should build/get a jig
There is nothing more awesome than being able to force download your non-booting phone.
I could not have done this repair without one.

oh phone, how can I crash you next?
thanks again everybody!

Yes, do this. For repartition to work the .tar has to have dbdata.rfs, otherwise it won't work.
Then flash a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm and flash you're favourite custom rom

unlock&root owngrade or speedmod kernel? suggestions?
Forgot to mention that all this started after I got the phone back from Bell service after SD card failure.
I know mod methods changed with the latest firmware, as I had used the update.zip method that is now unavailable.
My phone went in unlocked and rooted
the phone came back re-locked (old code doesn't work? wtf?),
and it was unrooted w/3e recovery
Can the phone unlock code change?
Will downgrading to 2.1 make unlocking easier?
or is unlocking just as simple after a speedmod kernel with odin for root/cwm
Which is better?
downgrade the firmware to 2.1 and root using the old update.zip method or speedmod kernel?
Which kernel? (link please )
cheers

All you did was flash UGJL2 with no repartition and it brought your phone back?

You know what....I've been trying various combinations of CSC/MODEM/PIT and everything to get this phone running again.
All I did was select a FULL UGJL2, and thats IT. NO pit, NO repartition, and it worked

The best way to revive your I9000m is to first flash JPC (a three file ROM) with 512 PIT and repartition ticked. The phone will still be in a boot loop. Then flash the JL2 PDA without repartition or PIT. The best way to go back to stock! Has always worked for me. I9000m's are not the same as other I9000's and do not flash repartition and the PDA in the same flash! Good luck!

SGS Semi-Brick , Help would be appreciated !!!

Hello buddies,
I was using my DarkyModded SGS i9K and all of a sudden my phone's lock screen got freezed and i tried it shutting down but i wont recognize ,then i had removed my battery and rebooted it.Now the problem comes !!
It wont Reboot i.e It's stuck on Galaxy S -powered by Darky ROM screen !
i tried with odin to reflash it back to stock,Reinstall Darkymod, Stock Froyo but no luck!!
but it booted into Stock 2.3.x and was booting very very slow @ 1FPS of sgs animation ,so i accessed the recovery but it was also too slow even it was taking the input after a sec , i wiped it and still no booting up and one more thing my phone displayed once the BSOD logo and now my sgs can go into download mode also but cant reboot after flashing with odin ,ezodin!!
I would be grateful if anybody snapped me out of this crap !
Thankyou!

If you can get into download mode, then flash stock with Odin, 2.2 is a good option, was for me anyway. Hope this helps.

Which odin roms have you tried?
knowledge is Power. Guard it well.

If you can get recovery, go to mount and storage then format everything. Then flash bootloader with ezboot and after that a stock rom with odin. It's just a try...maybe you're luck and it works

When flashing with Odin have you done a repartition?

Yep!
tried all possible ways!
:/

Re-format system, boot into recovery and go...mounts and storage-format system. Im no expert and please do this with caution and at your own risk. After format you will need to flash to 2.2 or something safe.

Already tried it says errors can't be formatted unable to unmount "/dbdata"!!
:/

please help me!!

1st of all buy a jig, it will give you download mode and reset the counters. Have you maybe got a corrupt internal sd card ? See when this happened to me I flashed stock via Odin, then I rooted and got clockwork recovery and formated ststem, then a custom rom. Are you seeing recovery and download mode, or are you seeing a pc and triangle with a cross.

Umm..so, if i get Odin 2.2 official then can i fix up my bootloader bootloop problem?

Yeah it helped me out, also pit files caused me problems in the past, my advice is get Odin v1.82 and froyo 2.2. Try it without the pit, just use Pda Phone and CSC. If it doesnt work try with the pit. Make sure the files are in correct boxes. Let me know friend

[Q][HELP!!!]How can I bring my phone back to life if it only accesses download mode?

There's a problem that I've came on while downgrading to stock 2.3.3 from MIUI 1.11.11 2.3.7 with CWM. I've wiped partillion chache and dalvik chache, installed rom XWJVH (it went correctly) rebooted, it stuck on booting screen. Restarted into download mode tried to install another kernel (cf-root 3.2 because it worked in past) and got fail in Odin.
Is my phone fully bricked? 'Cuz I can't get into CWM anymore.
HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

If u can get into download mode, you will be fine. Just flash a full stock rom with odin.
If u still have no joy, flash eclair jm9 (from samfirmware.com), it will resurrect most fxxk ups.

Ok, let's try but on other combinations Odin said connecting after starting a process (tried 1.3, 1.7, 1.8 versions to flash 2.3.3 and 2.3.5, none worked) but whar if it will not work? What next, because on recovery it gives "black screen of death" as said in this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_Series
But at least download mode works.
P.S. I get modem and code files in jm9 download, which to put in pda? csc?

Is odin detecting your phone, yellow light?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

yes it detected.
AND YES its going now, I've put pit file in and it is working now!!!!!!!

PASSED in odin, booting up........ boot logo......... please boot up!

something wrong, boot logo loop.

flashed cf-root 4.3 and I hope for the best.
P.S. nooooooooo, boot loop again
P.P.S. thank you anyway, at least boot loop is easier to work on.

Have you tried jm9 yet?

I am a little bit confused, and you too...
To bring back to life your phone you have flashed jm9, eclaire....ok.
But why have you flashed a CF-root 4.3?
It's for JVS gingerbread rom.
Edit: If your 3 keys combo still works, try to flash a stock 2.3.x

If the problems happen while using MIUI, better you select eclair rom first. Then you can upgrade to GB that have bootloader.
From MIUI directly to gingerbread will have fuzzy screen problem.

Should try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
You'll have to identify the bad partition and then manualy rebuild the partition table with ADB.

You'll lose up to 3gb of space and stock roms will probably not work anymore without fc's. Cm based roms usually work best after emmc brick revival.

My phone was bricked.
And I use hg42 revival method.
Simply go into download mode.
Use odin pc to flash stock rom (gingerbread preferred).
And....
Choose the pit from hg42, tick repartition.
Flash.
Voila. It is up alrd with a lost of 3gb. But I didn't care since I have ext sd.
PS:
It will be good if u know how to identify the bad block first. So u can choose the correct pit file to do repartition of ur device.
And.... u better charge ur battery first, no matter how r u goin to do it. I m sure u don't want to get worst while flash with odin pc, and ur battery dead.

After that try to flash PhilZ kernel (look for .tar file in Philz thread and flash via ODIN-i don't preffer ODIN but since u got nothing else u have to flash via ODIN PhilZ kernel) and some custom TW JB ROM from CWM that comes with PhilZ kernel.
So everything should be working or?

You have to do it manualy with your brain and your hands.
With ADB you can check each partitions to find the one faultly and then create new one.
you will loose space on mass storage (UMS partition) but your phone will work.

So are you still on stock recovery? After flashing PIT you need to format emmc, data, cache and system before flashing new ROM with Odin. You need custom kernel for that.
Also, did you do factory reset with CWM.zip before you bricked?

Someone please help me. I want to try Korean firmware because I'm having errors when mounting my SD and also getting boot loops which just displays the i9000 logo and nothing else.

No it's not compatible. Try to flash the correct firmware using Odin. Also use a 512 pit and check re-partition.

You don't have the Korean version. The Korean's version SSN is SEC-SHWM110S(B). Why do you want to flash the Korean version?
Try flashing XXJVU. If it still doesn't work then there is something wrong with your hardware.
Also use Odin 1.83 as this is the last supported version for I9000.
To download XXJVU see this.
