I have a SGS with firmware I9000XWJG5 and Root. I tried to do a Speed fix, but afterwards it was slower so i tried to flash the phone with the I9000XWJG5 firmware again.
After the flash, the phone rebooted and i came to the recovery menu. There the phone wrote:
update media, please wait
and in the next lines:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
Now when i try do start the phone, i get a black screen after the bright S
What i have tried: Flash agein with and without re-partition and Factory Reset
Has anybody an idea what i can do?
and sorry for my bad english
bump. can anyone help with this topic..
i am having some problem..
help us guys
thanks
Fixed... use odin 512
Thread moved in Galaxy S I9000 General.
I can definately help with this one, as I worked through it last night...
I found that if you're trying to flash the JG5 rom (as mentioned in Modaco's thread) with the 513 Pit file, then you'll get the black screen of despair!! For some reason the two combination of the two don't work.
However, if you do a google search for Odin PIT 512, then download this file
You will be able to download the 512 PIT file instead. Now use this in Odin3 to flash the JG5 rom and you should have no further issues....it worked for me.
I also discovered that Samsung have just released a later firmware, so I just flashed this one on top of the JG5 one...I have a nicely running phone now.
Hope this helps...it did me!
Mike
Mine was completely knackered. Couldn't get to recovery either. Flashed Modaco's MCR R3, after the JG5 flash, using all the files in the JG5 download. Working a treat...
Cheers,

Same here.
I tried JS3 and going back to JP6....and always the same result.
I'm obviously missing something. Maybe my 512.PIT is corrupted. I get the black screen and the same /dev/block.st110 errors in recovery.
i beleive you need to have a CSC file also for the odin flash.
i sorted mine like this:
Downloaded some JP2 odin files [used this as this was the only one on Samsung-firmwares that had all 3 PDA, Modem and CSC Files. flashed this using a .512 pit in odin. - this allowed the phone to boot normally.
connected to Kies and using reg hack [set to XEU] managed to update to JPY.
the following the Darky guide, flashed the CF Root kernel, installed the ROM Manager from the market, using the recovery mode installed the update.zip file for clockworkMod.
Formatted everything in ClockworkMod
Factory Reset in ClockworkMod
Installed Darky ROM V8.0 Wipe
thanks for your find !

thanks mate ! after a huge scare sorted mine with this firmware as well, this after I tried several other newer firmware packages from samfirmware and was ,slowly but surely ,starting to lose hope ...

fix for black screen after flash with no recover or download mode working.
Hey All.
So like the subject says, you flash and then your phone restarts or whatever, and then you get the normal galaxy s startup, with the sound and the visuals, but then that's it. Henceforth you are greeted with the two lights (if its a Bell Vibrant) from your options and back keys.
To fix it use the attached file. Its called ADB or something - I just know it works. It was a fix for the galaxy s phones that didnt have the recovery/download mode stock.
so here is how it goes:
1. download adb to your desktop and unpack it (if its in winrar or zip or whatever) to a file folder named adb.
2. open a command prompt.
3. type "cd" and then the address of the "adb" folder. so for example it should be in C:\Users\your user name\Desktop\adb. where "your user name" is your user name a duh.
4. plug in your galaxy s via usb.
5. type "adb reboot download" in the command prompt. copy it using your mouse as well.
6. turn on your phone.
7. press enter in the command prompt, then keep copying and pasting and pressing enter until you see the download screen on your phone. each time you press enter it says device not connected or something but just keep trying.

can't post it but the thread is called "How to get the 3 button recovery mode working"

I root my SGS with Z4 root. i change recovery 3e to 2e and there i make some mistake. can´t start droid anymore. It goes Dl and Rec -modes but i can´t flash (install)any roms (firms) with Odin.
It always sais at:
E:Can´t mount /dev/block/st110
(invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdate_media:Can´t mount DBDATA:
Our storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

How can i get rom back in phone? :F
in recovery mode - mount sdcard
push cwm recovery as update.zip and also something like one of darkys roms as a zip.
then unmount sdcard. then run the update.zip from recovery to reboot to cwm (may have to be done twice)
then from cwm recovery install zip from sdcard (rom file)
I have recovery 3e in it now. Can´t do much with it. :F
cwm?
using update.zip. it says cant find path...
cant mount.. bla bla bla.
having gray hairs.. :F
if u have some good ideas i´m glad to hear.
Flash a speedmod kernel to get 2e back, flash with odin from download mode. then flash a stock rom with a dbdata file inside the .tar file, flash it with odin also. Not all stock roms have the dbdata so you need to check a few of them. Just right click them once downloaded and open.... Dont extract...once you confirm the file has the dbdata flash it...once your phone boots flash any rom on top that you like.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
jm1 from samfirmware should have everything required to get back up and running
I get now that clockwork reco 2.5.1.0 working. Thanks about that!
need more adwise
cant find stock roms with dbdata.
Can i just flash some rom (custom rom) with odin?
still having gray hairs.. :F

You need to flash a firmware package with separate pda, modem and csc like JPU and then flash to updated firmware.

you can flash a stock rom with them all integrated and do not need the seprate pda, csc or modem. I had this exact issue and had to flash original 2.1 to get it going. i'm on a bell phone and my specific version was UGJH2 which had the dbdata included. download the original stock 2.1 and check, get from samfirmware or from here: (make sure you get your specific ROM though, i'm not sure which one that is for you)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846913
You are looking for dbdata.rfs
ITS ALIVE!! ITS ALIVE!!
Thanks all of u!!
But so now i have to update it to 2.2.
Can i do that with Kies?
That is my suggestion, although you know what to do now if it goes bad. it's pretty hard to mess up the phone by flashing unless you unplug it in the middle of the flash.

managed some soft bricks in how not to root. Odin up & waiting if a dev comes up with it
I am also waiting for the root!
not sure if it would work, but im working on a rom right now that is pre-rooted, but like i said i dont think that it will work,, i hope someone makes a cwm recovery soon
I'm currently trying to create a prerooted rom the way I did it for my tablet.
Extracting the system image from the Update package was easy, currently I'm trying to mount the syste,.img to set the rights and add the SU binaries.
If this works out, how can I flash this ROM?
With KIES? Or Update.zip on SD?
Is there an Update mode, and how can I get there?
edit: Okay... I was able to mount the System.img, but this is not that straight forward as in the img of my tablet.
I found a lot of folders, but no .apk, known folder or something I could work with.

Have you tried adb shell?. I am not allowed to post outside links, but if you type "londatiga net/it/how-to-use-android-adb-command-line-tool/" in Google, you will get the appropiate link
Could you explain with some derail how did you unbricked the phone?

Hi guys, I'm pretty new here.
I was wondering if there is any official 4.1.1 Jellybean for SIII Mini, 'cause my phone is pretty dead at this moment. I tried to download from official servers some packages , and use them with Odin ...but the phone is still at the main screen " Samsung Galaxy S III Mini GT-I8190 ". Any ideas how to manage with this ?
Or can I use another firmware, as 2.3.4 Gingerbread?To downgrade the device just to work?

Do you tried to get some of this firmwares:
samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I8190
and installing with:
trickytweaks.com/i8190xxaljl-4-1-1-jelly-bean-update-gt-i8190-s3-mini-how-to.htm
Yes, I have tried with my provider's firmware , but nothing happened. Still at logo screen. I have also tried with other firmwares, but still at a dead end. Right at this moment I'm flashing my phone again, hoping that something will change.
Had it stuck by flashing custom boot.img. Solved it by flashing 1 file image from samfirmwares as pda in Odin 1.85 default settings

I have succesfully extracted the PIT file from my S3 mini with the Heimdall software, but I don't wanna use it to flash with Odin because I think it's pretty messed up. Can anyone provide me with their Galaxy S3 Mini PIT file, hoping to rescue my dead phone ?
no boot into recovery mode and wipe data/cache that should get the phone booting again, esppecially after flashing firmwares with odin

Well, if the recovery mode can be accessed with Volume Up + Home + Power, then I can say that my S III Mini won't get into it.If I press these buttons the phone just gets on, and remains at Samsung Logo. So that is why I'm asking for a PIT file, 'cause I can't get into recovery mode to erase all data, so I can flash my phone again using Odin.
I have tried all official firmwares and still nothing. I guess my SIII Mini partitions are a little (or a little more) messed up, and I need to use Re-Partition from Odin so I can revive my phone.And to do this I need a PIT file from a working phone.
Or there is another way to get into recovery mode, excepting Volump Up + Home + Power?
Thanks for the answers.

Well, the NsPro tool requiers a box, that costs 170$. The program is useless without that box. I have downloaded it and doesn't work without that box.Another solution is by using a JTAG box, which does the pretty same thing, but again, it is expensive.
I was thinking that if I'll repartion my phone it will resolve the boot.img file, because it's in the "softbrick" at this moment.
helpline
Have you tried emailing or phone SAMSUNG`s helpline, they might help.
Write this image file whit odin 1.85 and voala you phone revive.
Pls use tanks buton
That param.tar file I saw it is for S II . Does it work for a S III mini too? Aren't 2 different devices?
So basically I installed I wiped /system /data and /cache because I kept getting problems with CMW. Now I cant boot up or boot into CMW. I tried installing KIES to get it working but it still shows up as an unknown device. I tried on a another computer and it shows up as Gadget serial. I cant connect it with odin without the drivers so basically I cant do anything.... If anyone knows how I can solve this problem that would be great!
Alright, I tried on a third computer an was able to get it working. I flashed the stock rom and I keep getting:
E:format_volume: make_extf2fs failed on /dev/block/stl10
whenever I try to wipe data/factory. Not sure but I think somethings wrong with the partitions?
Try to install these drivers - http://code.google.com/p/insanity/downloads/detail?name=usb_drivers_GalaxyS_x64.zip&can=2&q=
Later just install stock 2.3.3 via Odin with modem drivers, then flash root and have fun with CWM again.
I have all the drivers so I can now flash via Odin. Only problem now is that I have an unbranded p1000 and I didn't take down the model version so I don't know which stock ROM to work with. Is there a stock ROM and modem that'll work with every p1000 model?
try with the one linked to in my signature.
The Gb-stock-safe-v5 from overcome.
It is a package containing JQ1 stock rom and other tools and bits.
The ROM itself is a complete package that has bootloader, pit files and other files.
There are even a few modem.bin files to choose from.
Download the PDF guide if you want to be sure how to place them in Odin.
Jump to page 7 of the PDF.
If you continue beyond page 7, that will be the guide to install Overcome ROM. So stop at page 7 and you have stock.
Actually all stock ROM for P1000 will work with your P1000, and JPZ is the most common modem to use.
#1# I have a Samsung A6 Tab [SM-T580 Series] and unfortunately i installed a wrong custom recovery with Odin, because i forgot looking and the number.
Afterwards my Tab bricked. Download mode is still operational!
#2# The best advice i could find afterwards was to install a stock rom.
However i can't find either the correct stock rom or the correct twrp.tar.
#3# The problem arrived after i renamed twrp.tar to recovery.tar, because flashing or installing by first trying didn't work.
The XDA-Link to supported devices shows me only TWRP for A 10.1, A 9.7 and A8. That's why i am in a state of desperation.
My Questions so far are: Would replacing recovery.tar with the correct custom recovery or the original recovery by using Odin unbrick the Tab?
If not, where i may find the correct stock rom?

flashing stock mostly solve problems. i don't know what you type during searching, but when i googling "SM-T580" there r so many sites provide your firmware (sammobile, samsung-firmware.org). From MM (6) until android 7 and 7.1 available and you unable to find it?
top brand like sams*ng it is not hard to find any firmware or whatever related to i think
Thanks for answering, you are right. Sammobile has the firmware i need. I found it. However, i still would like to know if an official TWRP exists for my device, just for the future, if i would need the possibility to backup or restore files.

Before flashing Stock Rom i extracted revocery.img from AP and converted it to recovery.tar without compressing and tried to solve the problem this way, re-flashing original recovery, but it failed.
So i tried it again and installed the newest version of Odin and in the second try i flashed AP, BL, and CSC.
Odin allows me to pass the full flashing process with no error.
But after the reset the tablet stucks in a loop of system updating and stops at 32%.
Notes in the download mode are "FRP-unlock: off" and "System: Custom" changed to "System: Offical. "
The red line "Recovery is not seandroid enforcing" vanished.
However it still says "Recovery: Custom" in the download mode and this shouldn't be possible after flashing Stock Rom.
At this moment the following errors appear.
No Support SINGLE_SKU
Supported API: 3
E: failed to mount/efs (invalid argument)
dm-verity error...
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_kernel_manual
E: failed to mount /cache (invalid argument)
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_locale
Does this mean the partitions are damaged?
The only advices i found on google were, to flash with re-partitioning and to find the pit file. But i am afraid this would make it worse. Should i go to a repair service center or is it possible to still fix it?
If you download the stock firmware and flash the whole rom via odin and look in i believe is ap or csc.tar you should find the pit file extract it via 7zip or other alternative and load it with the pit selector in odin and reflash stock rom including the bl,ap,cp,csc and you should have a fully booting A6

Ok, i found the pit-file in CSC, but a CP file doesn't exist for SMT-580 Wi-Fi as far as i know.
I assume that i need to flash with re-partitioning and that i need to get sure the pit-file is for a 16 GB device.
But will this really solve my "[invalid argument]-issue"???

Ok, flashing with Odin works, showing me no error, but i am still stucked in a bootloop. If i try to get in to the recovery mode it tells me, that it installs the update.
It does that, until it reaches 32%. I have tried flashing the stockrom with re-partitioning and the pit-file. Didn't work. Next thing i tried was to start Odin as Admin and with a newer version of the firmware. Didn't work. What changed is that "Current Binary: Custom" to "Current Binary: Samsung Official".
System Status is still: "Custom".
It still refuses to mount the system or to get to 100%, so that i could see the recovery mode with all it's options.
Could it be, that the CPU or the Memory is damaged?
Try to flash twrp then wipe factory data eeset and format data then flash stock again and see if that helps you boot to stock
