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.

EZodin 2.2 (Preroot+CWM3),Odin used for DarkyROM,Odin for Gingerbread ROM!
still no luck in booting !!

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] Boot loops at random on power on, downgrade doesn't fix

Hello everyone,
I've got an Australian vodafone GT-i9000 which i bought that was having issues boot looping on power on. Sometimes it can boot loop for 20 seconds (looping at the Samsung screen, not the S screen) while others it can boot loop for 20 minutes before powering on.
I've tried flashing with ODIN using the 512 pit to numerous stock versions, most recently this : GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl (stock vodafone AU rom). The flash goes fine, however if I select format with the 512 PIT I can get the following message after the reboot:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblkop2
Even if this message doesn't come up on flash, The phone keeps boot looping. Once started, the phone seems to work fine detecting internal & SD memory. I want a more permanent fix however, because if I was planning on giving it to a friend and 'leaving the phone boot looping until it starts' is probably too hard for them to understand. Also I'm not sure if there's an issue with the internalSD which is causing the problem, and if it is, it could cause further issues on more harder use.
Anyone had this sort of issue? The phone was flashed with ICS when the guy sent it to me, he said the bootloops started after he upgraded to ICS. I've got a 32gb SD- tried removing before flash and having it in while flash with no success (have seen a guide for installing on external SD for the i9000m- however it looks like you can only do this if the media device has completely failed). It seems to boot every time using a bootloader kernal (cant remember the name, ICE something from memory) into the recovery software- so maybe a busted sector on the internal SD?
Ideas anyone?
Cheers,
Dylan

Maybe try going into cwm wipe internal same card memory, remove external as card, put into download mode and flash with Odin using pit and repetition checked, if you get the devblock error flash this is PDA without repetition checked and without pit http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140

Bit of a problem with that matey, Kies says the phone does not support firmware updates through KEIS and the rom i've been flashing with KEIS is the full standard rom from Vodafone- includes CSC, PDA and phone files. from memory the PDA file contains the standard bootloader yeah?

Look at this
Take a Firmware with the red SBL ending, thats with bootloader, flash it in download mode via odin and the problem should and must be solved through this !!
btw: i recommend to flash a JW5 version.. please tell us if this worked !

Did you get a look at the error? Or try flashing the cf root kernel?

GT_I9000_XWJVP_XXJVQ_VAUJV6_Sbl is the firmware i'm using, so no good with the boot loader
I'll try a JW5 version as suggested .
Also to the guy above, no luck with getting the error message, i'll give it another flash now and see how it goes.
Cheers guys really appreciate it

[Q] Flashing using PC Odin

Hi all.
Today I flash the new "Stock deodexed and rooted XXLSA" by eyebee, yet I accidentally messed up my phone so now it has gone soff-bricked. I can't not access to my SD card since it keeps saying "E: cannot mount sdcard", so I have no way to re-flash the rom using CWM, at least from my knowledge.
I try to use PC Odin to re-flash it but I have no clue how to use it 'cause I have never used PC Odin before. I really appreciate anyone shows me the way to unbrick my phone. I'm on Philz cwm6 kernel.
Thank you so much.

what did you do to mess it up?
download stock rom and pc odin
extract the rom to tar.md5 file and select it in the pda tab.
put the phone in download mode, vol dwn+pwr+home then vol up
connect to PC using cable. check if the box on the left goes yellow. If ok then start.
Wait for it to finish.
If you chose ics rom. Do not wipe.

Hi. Thanks for your reply.
May I ask what do you mean by "If you chose ics rom. Do not wipe"? Does it mean if I choose a ICS stock then I must not do a full wipe after I flash the rom?
Many thanks.

Yes..you are right..dont wipe/factory reset when you are on Stock ICS kernel..so, once you flash Stock ICS, flash any safe kernel like Philz or Hydracore..then you can wipe/factory reset..

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.

Remove the battery. Put back. Then plug the charger and let the phone charge for a couple of hours before you boot into download mode again?

Buy an external battery charger. They are very cheap

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.

Check md5 sum of downloaded file...
I think it's the download of the file.
than try this-http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886
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?

-put device in download mode and flash stock rom with Odin and select above downloaded pit file for pit tab (this will auto select re partition, keep selected) again I have given link for pit is for 16gb model if you have 32gb then don't proceed and let me know.
-don't worry if your device doesn't boot after flashing rom

+wipe cache and data
Device should work now.
