I know you guys don't like new posts, but I've spent the past 2 days trying to figure this out and I am about to give up.
I'll just lay this out in bullets and this is just a last attempt before I throw this phone out:
Phone: GT-i9000 bought full price from Bell, unlocked running on Fido
Rom Installed: ROM Name: All In One Edition Version: 7.0 Developer: Spike_M Firmware: XXJPY
I shut the phone off because it stopped responding to any touches, turn it back on and its stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY S Logo.
Can enter DOWNLOAD mode using three button combo, but not RECOVERY mode.
This means that I tried to flash a new FW using ODIN. What I tried to flash:
Used:
Odin3 v1.3
PDA = I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar
PIT = s1_odin_20100512.pit
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
When I click Start on Odin with either ☐ Re-Partition or ☑ Re-Partition, it reboots into RECOVERY mode, "Wipes Data", and gives me this error message:
HTML:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (Invalid argument) E:/copy_data_default_apk:Can't mount DBDATA: your storage and not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
and just hangs.
I found this link: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage
and tried the solution. I can access the adb shell when the phone is stuck in recovery mode, but I don't have root access so I can't push any files like parted onto the /sbin folder because it says "Permission denied"
If anyone can tell me if phone is a lost cause, I can stop trying already and get on with my life. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

my "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem has been solved by this.
It may not be the same problem but the following solved my "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem, not "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". I used JM2, 512 pit.

1. Enter your phone in dl-mode, but don't connect yet.
2. Open Odin, tag re-partition, auto reboot and f.reset time, make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked. select CORRECT PIT-file (2.1 ROMS usually 512, 2.2 ROMs many times 803, samfirmware always tells which one to use next to the dl-link of a ROM-file), enter your phone in dl-mode, plug, wait it to be recognized by Odin.
3. Click start, wait until Odin shows PASSED, unplug your phone, remove the battery for 30 seconds, enter dl-mode again, don't plug just yet.
4. In Odin, click Reset. Then select PDA, Modem and CSC files compatible with the PIT-file used in re-partition, plug your phone, make sure re-partition NOT checked and no PIT-file selected (once again, make sure you use correct PDA for the PIT you flashed). auto-reboot and f.res.time should be selected. Make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked.
4- Plug your phone and when recognized, click start. Wait to be passed. Now your phone will boot (or if not, boot manually) and should work just fine.
Edit: Try to put Eclair ROM, for example JM2, not jpa, and see if it works better.

Thanks, I'll try that and report back to you...

[Q] Stuck on Samsung logo, recovery says can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Hi.
I'm trying to fix my boss' tab, SPH-P100 (Sprint).
I have tried all kinds of things and nearly bricked it (got the phone ! computer symbol, but it still accepted uploads, so I was OK).
Here's the issues:
- Continuous loop of Samsung logo on boot
- From Recovery screen, I performed a factory reset, but it didn't help - same logo loop
- In the Recovery screen, I get errors similar to the ones quoted above:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't open CACHE:log/recovery.log
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(No such file or directory)
I read all kinds of posts about simply flashing the stock ROM, and I found the ROM that was mentioned multiple times in these forums to be the right one for this tab (it did change the first boot animation, though...). The ROM I used is tab_sprint_noModem_20101226.tar inside Tab_Stock_-_No_Modem.rar.
I tried:
-ODIN with the stock ROM posted in this thread. It works, but it doesn't fix anything. I tried with and without the PIT file (one thread specifically warned NOT to use the PIT file, but in the end I tried it anyway - I think I did NOT hit Repartition, so it probably didn't do anything...).
-Heimdall doesn't seem to work at all for me. I found version 1.3.1, and the instructions in post 21 of the thread linked above don't seem to apply to this version. I finally figured out that I need to be in the FLASH tab, but I can't add files without the PIT file, it won't let me add the zImage file for recovery (or at least complains that there's no .bin file ending), and when I checked "Repartition", I got the error:
ERROR: Partition corresponding to -21 argument could not be located
Ending session...
Yes, I installed the drivers that came with Heimdall.
-Following other posts with very similar errors, I formatted the SD card in Windows using FAT32 - no change.
-I looked into another thread talking about parted, but I don't have root on that device, and I'm not sure what my boss would think about me rooting his pad... I also don't know enough to figure out which rooted ROMs would go with it - I'm scared enough with the "official stock rom" I'm using
I'm fairly tech savvy, know a little about Linux and have used adb to root my own phone, but otherwise a lot of the things I read here only make enough sense to me to follow the instructions and not get lost.
Maybe there's a different version of Heimdall that I should be using, or maybe I did something else wrong, but I'm sure I followed the instructions here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
(PS, I originally posted this at the end of the thread I mentioned here but did not get an answer - I'm sorry, I had not read the post about not asking questions in that forum, even if it was attached to another post where similar questions were asked and answered, so I'm moving this post here instead.)

Update:
Found a different Rom in this thread - same situation:
I can flash it, but nothing changes, and I still get the error message I showed. The main change is that this ROM is the first I have found that has the same Sprint boot animation that the tab originally had.
The new information is that once it resets after flashing, it briefly shows a few messages - one said that if failed to wipe the cache, and I think the others showed the same error about /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 but I can't be sure (tried to get video of it, but I was too slow, and it's blurred - I'll try again later to get the exact error messages).
Update 2:
Found yet another ROM in this thread and tried it, and this one doesn't seem to work at all with this tab (tried with and without pit/re-partitioning) - the boot fails and immediately boots into Recovery by itself and shows the following:
-- bootmode=7 from cmdline
E:failed to mount /cache (No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Will try to flash the other ROM again to try and get a precise look at its error message...
UPDATE 3:
Flashed the first ROM again - no error message, just the same Samsung logo cycle that freezes briefly and then starts over.
Flashed the second ROM again (the one that has the correct Spring animation), and this time I got the error messages on video.

Still hoping for ideas, but I think I'm at the end of what I can try...
Is it likely or possible that the internal memory got damaged?
I don't know exactly what my boss did to the tab, but he mentioned something about "the cold" meaning Minnesota winter cold - we had about 12 degrees last week, so maybe that's the cause...

Have you found and tried the EA24 stock flash tool?
Sent from my SPH-P100 using xda premium and ICS

Thanks for the reply!
If that's this file:
Sprint Galaxy Tab EA24 Flasher.zip
Then I have tried the ROM in it with Odin, but not the actual tool that came with it.
I'll see if I can get my boss to give me another shot with it (unless he's already returned it - I've had it for a few days already...).
Thanks!

has anyone found a solution to this? I am having the exact same issue...
Not sure why or how it happened everything was fine one day and next day wont go past logo and keeps rebooting.

Same problem here
My P100 started this problem last night, which was the first time it's been turned in in several days. It's fully stock, never had any rooting or flashing performed on it.
Booting into recovery mode shows failed mounts on everything it tries to do, and all the options for recovery also fail - except for "reboot system now", which does reboot it, but then it just sits on the pulsing Samsung logo endlessly. And I do mean endlessly, I let it go four hours last night, after which the battery ran out. Plugged it in after that, and it's right back to the same thing.
Every other thread I've found with this problem listed it as an after-effect of having attempted to flash a new ROM, but that is not the case with mine...
Hoping someone has the answer...
Thanks!

Same exact symptoms, and when I tried CM9 or other ICS ROMs this errors lead into the dreaded "Encryption Unsuccessful" bug.
At this point I'm just trying to get the device to boot consistently.

Did you try to do full restock (include bootloader and repartition)?
or you can try CM9 again with a fixed kernel by cdesai or jt. look at this conversation:

I'm on it ASAP, thanks a ton for that
Edit: If possible mind giving a link to that specific kernel (or flashable .zip with it)?

Do you have this on your screen:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1193979&d=1342124106
If so, we're in the same boat
Btw, I used a full repartition and boot following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17817287&postcount=2
and same error occurs.

Bump in hopes of solving this issue.

My tab is basically bricked. I have this same issue after putting CM9 on it. Those errors consistently pop up. and thats it.
I guess its a paper weight now.

you may try flashing pit file and stock rom with micro SD inserted during flashing. that's what I did to my Samsung GT-I9003 when it failed to read the internal SD. At first, the camera may not work. Just root the device after flashing pit/ROM and do SD Swap Mod (external SD as internal SD).
Not sure if it's gonna work with Galaxy Tab. Give it a try. Hope this helps.

Hey guys, it appears JimRich is working on a solution for the CDMA (verizon and sprint) versions of thsi device, keep checking and be sure to let him know there are other people with this problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789728

When I boot my note, I am taken straight to system recovery, where I am given the error message in the first post. I'm able to enter download mode and system recovery but that's it... Dr.Ketan recommended that I try flashing a stock gingerbread rom from odin now, so I guess i'll try that...

root fail

Hey, so I somehow bricked my phone. I wanted to root my phone and I got stuck in download mode. So i flashed it with odin. It passes perfectly everytime, but then I get stuck in android recovery mode, where at the bottom I get these errors:
Suported API: 3

E: failed to mount /efs (Invalid argument)

What version did you flash on your phone? And what version were you trying to root

G920FXXU5DQA7_G920FBTU5DQA2_BTU works just fine for me to get at least in recovery mode. I can't tell you what version i used to root my phone, because I don't remember now and I deleted that fille. When I flash it, blue screen with "installing system update" and loading android logo shows up for a few seconds and then immediately recovery mode comes back. And the same 4 errors show up at the bottom.

Well this is the AT&T forum so I'm assuming that you have the AT&T model, after the underscore where it says G920F it should be G920A. Go back and get the correct firmware and it should work.

Sorry about that, wrong forum. I'm new in this web. I'm using G920F

Sounds to me like you would need to get a kernel with dm-verify removed or flash magisk, which does that for you.
