Hi there.
I tried to update my I9000 to Cyanogenmod 9. And it failed.
I think this happend because I had the CF-Root before. I switched to ext4 and the system runs good.
Updated via CWM failed and a update to 2.3.6 with Odin failed with Error "failed to mount /dbdata".
Can I reset the system?
Please help me! I want my smartphone back.
Thanks in advance!
Use Odin to flash back to gingerbread and start again.
GT-I9000 / SEMA / SLIMBEAN2.3
Like knuckles said, go and revert it back to 2.3.6 first, without root, and start over. There are very detailed guides over at Q&A.
Good luck flashing CM9! It's a really nice rom on ICS.
Thanks. First, flashing with a stock version from samfirmware doesnt work.
I found this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140) which fixed the problem.
After flashing the stock version and afterwards the CM9 it works again.
Thanks for your support.

Hi, I have searched the threads and found similar problems but no solution appears to work for me.
I took delivery of my GT-P1000 UK model today and everything wise fine, rooted OK until I installed Clockwork Mod's Euro backup from the market. I let the euro reboot the tab and perform a nandriod backup that backed up Ok and verified but the tab would not reboot after that - only the Samsung boot screen and no recovery mode via the power and vol+ buttons.
I flashed the euro firmware pit, PDA P1000XWJMI, modem and phone but still no joy just the boot screen or download options. I do not know what my original firmware version was so I just chose the latest 2.2 available in this forum (P1000XWJMI).
I am pretty much stuck at the moment and would appreciate some help to get my tab back into working order with the stock froyo 2.2 Uk 3G+WiFi firmware.
Also tried firmware P1000XWJMG but still no joy :-(
Cheers
Tony

Thanks for the pointers but I tried both methods and they failed to work. Overcome failed to flash via odin and Stock Gingerbread installed OK butfailed during recovery:
Upon installing update assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == GT-P1000 and so on for each GT model and then Error in /cache/recovery/sec_csc.zip (status 7).
The wipe cache fails with E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11 the wipe data/factory reset also failed on /dev/block/mmcblk02p , stl10 and stl11.
I am no expert but it seems that my filesystems are read only following the attempted ext4 conversion by the Euro clockwork recovery app yesterday. I have tried to flash at least 10 different firmwares but all fail to boot I am beginning to think that I have a brick and should return to Samsung service centre...

if your tab still can on and go through download mode is not bricked ...
what you need is pit and stock froyo to get back your SDcard .. after you do this step u can flash the gingerbread , this problem happened to me from 2days back , i flashed back to rotohammer rom then i flashed gingerbread , and got no more Error msg like you got up there ...

I know this is an old thread but what was the outcome?
Hello ppl !
Few days ago i became owner of my first android phone, samsung captivate. I am totally loving it, but at some point i realised it has much more potential then as it comes with stock, i made a update with kies from samsung website to gingerbread and i also was able to root my phone, so after researching i found out that this is a best forum for android stuff, spent few days over here reading a lot, but still don't understand how to install custom roms.
my firmware is 2.3.5 , baseband version I897UCKK4 kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CL614489
I'am very keen to start with SimplyStock KK4 V1.0 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1486344) but cant achieve anything.
as far as i understood, in a first place i need to install/flash clockwork recovery, i downloaded few versions but when i try to install it from recovery mode it says:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
i also tried to install few custom roms from recovery mode but same issues
i performed wipe data / factory reset and wipe cash as well, and as far as i understood i can wipe system only if i have clockwork recovery that i don't!
so this is my situation, any advise and help would be superb !
thank you guys
Welcome to the world of flashing. First, I would read some of the stickies on how to use Odin.
The easiest way to get CWM would be to flash a kernel with CWM already built in. The Corn Kernel is one such kernel. Flash it with Odin (the tar file goes in the PDA slot). You will then have CWM and can flash ROMS and other packages.
Once again, read first! It can help keep you from bricking your phone.
P.S. Back up your /efs folder (read threads about this one)

Tanks a lot !!!!
I made backup with Efs Pro as a tar file
then i downloaded CornKernel_UCKK4_v603 and flashed it with odin
then i putted SimplyStock KK4 V1.0 as a zip file into my phone and from new recovery mode installed it without any problem
thanks a lot again!!!
Hello All,
Have some issues with my phone that i want to run it through you all.
I live in India. I have a SGS GT-i9000
I got it first with 2.1. I updated it to 2.2.
At 2.2, I installed DarkyROM and played around with it. I tried going back to 2.2 after a few days. At that point, the Lagfix was enabled and then the flashing did not work.
I somehow fixed it and was able to resolve it and get the phone working. This was close to a year ago and i do not remember what exactly
I then installed 2.3 and it was working great. However, from then on, Any flashing i do, i get the dbdata.rfs error message and i've to flash the dbdata.rfs downloaded separately for that issue. That works, But again, If i try to flash, or do a Format Internal Flash, i see the problem again.
How do i fix it?.
I tried going back to 2.2 with the 3 file method and then went to 2.3. Same Issue
I just want to format the phone completely and go back to a saner state. Please help.

Tried. It works. But then comes up with a complete error trail when resetting the phone.
I am trying to get that error now. Had it somewhere......... Basically, it says unable to format and so on.
Hi.
I did this now...............
Installed Froyo 3 File combo. ( since i read it somewhere) and did a Factory reset. Works ok
Installed GB 2.3.6 3 File Combo and did a Factory Reset. Works Ok. No Error Message
And then Installed CM10 and Slimbean. All working ok
However, I come back to my original question: What is the best process to get my phone to complete defaults?.. Like all hidden partitions cleared to how it should be even to the partition format level and so on.

http://d-h.st/4nP - this is "GB Flash kit", unpack it - in there you'll find 2.3.6 JW5 ROM, Odin v1.85 and also CF-Root kernel, after flashing this your phone will be ready to flash any stock or custom ROM

Is this kit for Galaxy S i9000? Can you please confirm, my stock kit is the first 2.3.6 and I would like to use something newer (like JW5 is). Or is there a newer latest I9000 ROM from Samsung?

Yes it is 3-file stock JW5 ROM for SGS i9000 (from Samsung) +PIT512, JW5 is not newest, but for example in my country it is... there is already JW8 value pack.... just signup to http://www.samfirmware.com/, then type "i9000" in the search field and check the newest ROM for your country/carrier ... I posted the GB Flash kit cause it is the best way to prepare your phone for flashing any ICS or JB ROM, also for flashing 1-file ROMs downloaded from samfirmware

Hi guys, today I tried to install Jelly Bean from AOKP over my ICS from Team Nyx, but I got stock .... I can only access to download mode, but not to CWM .... I already tried to flash GINGERBREAD XXJVU via Odin but did not work, I also tried to reset the device with JV9_JV9_JV5 but also did not work ... is there any way to flash CWM or reset the phone from Odin ??..
Thanks !!
The only way to reset through ODIN is by flashing a rom. So keep trying.
Go into download mode & flash a gb stock rom with odin.
Then turn off phone go into download mode again and flash your cf root.
search for it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788108
Done doing that turn on phone and u Will see cwm icon click it and reboot into recovery. Full wipe
& Flash the jb rom of your choice u may have 2 do it twice
Thanks for your answer guys ! I finally made it work with a Froyo 2.2 ROM I9000UGJK3 .... I´m wondering how do I know which Gingerbread version is compatible to my GT I9000M phone ..... I have seen lot of ROMs, but none says work in Mexico .... Do you know how I can know this ?? Thanks !
Try I9000UGKG3

Hello everyone.
I have a problem which I hope you'll be willing and able to help with.
I wanted to try out CyanogenMod 10 on my Galaxy S I9000. I was on 2.3.3 so I used Odin to update to 2.3.6 (rooted). Then I installed superuser and mod manager, after which I installed Clockwork. I then used Clockwork to install CM 10. It worked flawlessly and this was my first time flashing ever.
However, I didn;t like CM 10 and decided to revert back to Gingerbread. I read it was as easy as simply using Odin to flash 2.3.6 again. I tried that but got stuck into a bootloop displaying the S sign over and over and over again. I tried downloading the PIT file which made Odin check Repartition by default and flashing like that but it didn't help, I'm still stuck in bootloop. I can access download mode without a problem but I'm stuck in bootloop forever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Update: I found a thread detailing how to get back to Froyo so I tried it. I used a PIT file, PDA file, PHONE file and CSC file all separately and it worked. Now I'll just have to update back to 2.3.6 No idea why I was only able to revert back to Froyo and not Gingerbread, but it worked, thread can be closed.
Hey,
Bit of a late answer, but so you can refer to it if you ever go back to custom roms.
When you come back to stock from CM10, or any custom rom for that matter, you need to flash in a file named dbsdata.rfs.tar. Fixes the bootloops (custom roms and stock have different data partitions so incompatibilities in data partition cause bootloops like yours)
