Can anyone Help Me Get Back to Rogers 2.1

I have a Samsung Captivate that was running 2.2 flashed by Keis.
I could not see all of my internal sd space so I wanted to flash a custom rom.
I have used Titanium Backup to back up my phone.
I then Tried to use AIO Captivate Toolbox 2.5 to flash back to stock.
Now every time that I try to boot my phone it goes into system recovery <2e>
at the bottom it says
update media, please wait ...
e:Can't mount /dev/block/st101
(invalid argument)
e:copy_DBdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy defaul tmedia content failed.
Please Help

Just to add to the last post I can still get into download.

download the file in my sig. Flash it with odin 1.3
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/20958367/Odin3 v1.3.exe
I can walk you through it if you like.

I got 1.3 from the link that you gave me, but neither link in your signature works.
Could you post them again?

Thank you so much.
I am downloading it now.
Just a few questions.
When I do odin what do I select pit, PDA or what?
Also do I have to change any of the options like re-partition?

Don't change any options at all. Open odin and leave it as is.
The file goes into the PDA section, no pit file is required.

odin did it's thing said pass 1:51.
Then it re-booted into android system recovery <2e>
What would you like me to do?

Exit recovery, and attempt to boot the phone.

I thought we had it but no luck.
it is still going into recovery
with this error
update media, please wait ...
e:Can't mount /dev/block/st101
(invalid argument)
e:copy_DBdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy defaul tmedia content failed.

try flashing the 2.2 one it has a different recovery 3e.

I am downloading now.
I will let you know what happens

Once it reboots it should go into recovery and install a bunch of files and then boot back up by itself.

It re-booted into recovery but got the same error.
It did not install any files or reboot again.

Reading that, its sounds exactly like what happened.
I don't know of any pit file for Rogers.

Thanks for your help nickm50
I will keep looking and see if I can find any way to fix this.
Maybe someone who has fixed the problem before will let us know how they did it.

i9000m is semi bricked??? tried everything plz help

I've been searching through countless forums and tried everything to reflash mine back to stock or atleast a stable custom rom. When i boot my phone after its done with odin it never passes the galaxy s Gt-i9000 screen. I tried using odin with dark's resurection and 2.2 stock but nothing works. The phone can't go into clockwork recovery either. Reading the other threads its possible that the one click lag fix may have something to do with this. So please help me..... ohh and btw its a bell i9000m
Thanks
also phone can go into download mode so there has to be a way to fix it

three file rom = rom with PDA.tar, Phone (Modem).tar and CSC.tar

As long as you can get into download mode, your phone is recoverable.

Flash that through Odin and your phone should work.

okay thanks i will try it and report back!

@ dfolt i didn't flash with re-partition.
@krazykipa wheres does that file fit into odin? where do i put it? and do i re-partition?

Put the tar file in the PDA slot. I think it doesn't really matter where you put the files as they're automatically flashed to the right place, though I could be wrong.

okay i flashed with those files and now i have the same can't mount issue. it also says storage isnt perpared yet. And when i reboot i get this........ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnrh2jEpNxo&feature=related thats what happens to my phone.

If I were you I would go on samfirmware.com to get a safe firmware download and JVQ which is 2.3.4 then download talon kernel 4.3 and flash via Odin, then download juwes rom 5.2 and flash via CWM. this is a very fast and stable rom with great battery life. This rom combined with the legend x fusion 3.0 theme is just awesome. I know juwes 5.3 is out now but I still reccomend 5.2 also juwes uses semaphore kernel as a default but I use the talon kernel its awesome. Good luck!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Pop

I have a Samsung Galaxy Pop with “com.android.phone” error each time the device restarts. The network goes down and comes back again. This happens twice.
I had upgraded my handset from 2.2.1 to 2.2.2 using Kies in Sept 2012. I somehow got a chance to copy the I559DDEH31_HOME.tar.md5 file which Kies creates for upgrade. The contents of the file are amss, boot.img, cache.rfs, recovery.img & system.rfs.
I have tried Odin to flash but have been unsuccessful.
I would like to know if I can use “dd if=/dev/block/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096” command using adb shell to restore the handset to its original state?
I am not that good at Android so would like to know if somebody can help me.

Why don't u flash a new gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom? Froyo is kind of outdated. Make sure to backup your contacts and everything if u decide to do so.

Hi Kirakun,
I would love to do that but unfortunately I am not able to find dedicated Gingerbread 2.3.6 stock rom for Samsung Galaxy Pop CDMA (India) SCH-I559.
I have searched a lot but found only for Samsung Galaxy mini or S5570 which are the GSM versions of the same model.
I have also found that some have already bricked their phones using the other versions.
So I have decided to stick to froyo.
I just wanted to make sure that if I restore the /system partition using system.rfs command (dd if=/dev/block/stl12 of=/sdcard/system.rfs bs=4096) shouldn't create any new problems.

My bad i was not aware of this different version. Yes do try what dheeraj has said.
I think that entering recovery should be same for u, just switch off phone, press home button and power button simultaneously and hopefully you will enter recovery.
Navigate using volume button and do a wipe data and cache. Doing so you will lose any app and everything from your phone, so do a backup before.

I have already tried to wipe from recovery twice but still face the same error. Everything resets to factory defaults except this error which pops up at every restart..

But unfortunately same error.
I cannot flash firmware as I do not have one supported for this model of samsung (CDMA version). KIES says that the firmware is up to date so cannot flash from there as well.

In case if you don't mind I would like to know how my phone will get ruined if I use the system.rfs from the original firmware file downloaded by Kies?
Secondly, is there a particular version of ODIN I need to use for this handset? I have tried 1.85, 3.07 and 4.38 versions.
Actually I do not have any other files than the I559DDEH31_HOME.tar.md5 required by ODIN.
I would prefer to go to Samsung service centre only when I am left with no option or if the handset fails to do its regular tasks.
Anyways, thanks for your suggestion.

you will do it while your phone is running and while doing it your mobile will reboot in the process due to change in some critical files
and we also don't know what is the structure of system.rfs

Dheeraj, I understand what you are trying to say. I was plannning to do so in recovery mode. I have checked through ADB that I can access the device when in recovery mode. Will it still be a problem?

Alternatively I can also do when the phone is in download mode..
What do u think?

well you can't in download mode
but of you have cwm then it would be easy
open system.rfs with soft which can mount iso etc.
Copy the content of system to you sdcard
now flash aroma file manager and with the help of that copy all the files your your system.rfs to your system partition
and with dd it may copy files to /system/system or directly to /root

I used a linux machine to mount the system.rfs. Extracted phone.apk and installed the app using root explorer.
Finally the problem com.android.phone has been resolved..

Will look into flashing a rescue kit?

Hi.
Have you tried full restore to GB? Original Stock Firm.
-Get your stock from http://samfirmware.com/ & Odin (with pit file).
Don't forget the WIPE! ( you can restore to stock and after that wipe and restart )
For me, at any problem i have... i use the GB Flash Kit from Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
And folow that 5 steps.
Don't forget to have a Backup of EFS (IMEI)
Search here on XDA, you will find the right way to bypass your problem, it always happened, don't panic.

I don't have the device infront of me but I am 99% sure it was
"Can't mount /system

For the record I can flash a STOCK rom with Odin. I don't think there is a way to flash any other roms by usb neither with heimdall nor odin.
Attempting to format data and system just outputs the same error.
I've been used to playing around with HTCs. Is there a way to for me to format data and system via the Android Console or adb?
I also tried fully formatting sdcard0(internal sdcard) and sdcard1(external sdcard) and flashing stock from Odin and then a recovery (I understand recovery =kernel on samsung?) with heimdall.
Can I try flashing via built-in recovery with update.zip or something like aroma installer just won't work?

Which stock firmware are you using? Try to flash XXJVU with Odin. Also use a 512 pit and check re-partition.

Yes, recovery is built in the kernel. It can't be flashed separately.
