Really need your help here guys...
Wanted to flash stock firmware back on to my i9000 on O2 UK, after its overall performance and stability had degraded over recent months. My phone was rooted and was running 2.3.6 on XXJVU I believe.
Downloaded stock firmware via samfirmware.com (can't post as actual link as I haven't posted more than 10 times) from this URL:
www .hotfile. com/dl/155165253/45ea7e1/I9000XWJVH_I9000O2UJV3_O2U.zip.html
The downloaded file I9000XWJVH_I9000O2UJV3_O2U.zip, when extracted, gave me:
SS_DL.dll
jvh_jv3_jv2.tar
When I extracted this .tar file, the following files appeared:
boot.bin
cache.rfs
factoryfs.rfs
modem.bin
param.lfs
Sbl.bin
zImage
I'd read that Sbl.bin was the bootloader, and I knew that 'modem' was another name for the PHONE element (a.k.a. 'baseband' I think?), so....
I used Odin3 v1.82 and selected .pit file 803, then selected jvh_jv3_jv2.tar for all four of BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE and CSC, and also checked Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.
The flash failed, with the following message in Odin:

So I read around a bit more about the LOKE problem and it getting stuck on factoryfs.rfs, and someone had managed to get around it by flashing the individual elements separately, i.e. first the .pit file, then the BOOTLOADER, then the PDA, etc, followed by updating the phone via Kies.
So I thought I'd give gave that a try. After unplugging and forcing then phone to restart Download mode, first I flashed the .pit file (803), after which the phone just switched off, but Odin said this was a success.
Then for each subseqent stage, again I selected jvh_jv3_jv2.tar each time, only this time flashed BOOTLOADER, PDA, PHONE and CSC separately.
According to Odin, this worked for BOOTLOADER. The Odin message was:
<ID:0/007> Added!!
<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..

<ID:0/007> RES OK !!
<ID:0/007> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/007> Removed!!
However, when the phone then auto-rebooted into Recovery mode, it spewed out this:
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /dbdata
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Media files copy failed.
-- Deleting files...
E:failed to mount /dbdata (File exists)

-- Wiping cache...

Cache wipe failed.
-- Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC

Successfully applied multi-CSC.
So, reacting to the parts in bold above, I first selected wipe data/factory reset, and got this message:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /dbdata...
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
Deleting Meta Data
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
Is the bold/italic bit crucial?
I then selected wipe cache partition, and got:
-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
Cache wipe complete.
I then thought I'd better try a reboot. The phone went through the standard shining Galaxy S logo bootload animation, but then just kept repeating it. I'm presuming this is what others have referred to as their phone being stuck in a bootload loop?!
I then forced it back into Download mode, and flashed jvh_jv3_jv2.tar as the PDA, to which Odin said:
<ID:0/007> Odin v.3 engine (ID:7)..
<ID:0/007> File analysis..
<ID:0/007> SetupConnection..
<ID:0/007> Initialzation..

<ID:0/007> param.lfs
<ID:0/007> Sbl.bin
<ID:0/007> zImage
<ID:0/007> RQT_CLOSE !!
<ID:0/007> RES OK !!
<ID:0/007> Completed..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
<ID:0/007> Removed!!
The phone then auto-rebooted into Recovery mode again, and gave me the exact same series of messages as it did after flashing the new bootloader. So, again, I did a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition (same output messages as before), and then rebooted.
Phone got stuck on boot animation again, so I forced it back into Download mode, and flashed jvh_jv3_jv2.tar as the PHONE.
But I just got a similar error message from Odin as when I tried flashing all 4 elements plus the .pit file together:
<ID:0/007> Added!!

It always seems to be when Odin is trying to flash factoryfs.rfs that it fails. I have to unplug my phone when the flash has failed, and when I try to reboot, all I get is an icon with a mobile phone on the left, a PC on the right, and a dotted line running between them with an exclamation mark on an orange triangle in the middle of it. I presume this is supposed to prompt me to reconnect my phone to the PC, but until I can get the stock firmware to flash successfully, there's no point!!
I can still force the phone into Download Mode, but not into Recovery mode.
PLEASE can somebody tell me where I'm going wrong!?!
- is it a dodgy download of the firmware in the first place? If so, can anyone direct me to a reliable one that contains PDA: I9000XWJVH, PHONE: I9000BWJV2, CSC: I9000O2UJV3?
- shouldn't the PDA/PHONE/CSC files be extracted from the download as separate .tar files, and then selected individually in Odin... rather than the same .tar file being selected for each element in Odin?
- do I need to leave the .pit file and BOOTLOADER elements out of it, and just flash the PDA/PHONE/CSC?
Help!! I can't find an alternative download for the stock firmware, every other download link takes me to a page where it says 'This file is either removed due to copyright claim or is deleted by the uploader.'
Any advice/assistance you can give would be a massive help.
Thanks

to solve this you only need to flash a dbdata.rfs file as PDA in odin3..look at My Android Solutions

any firmware you need can be found at My Android Collections under ROMS
all you need to do is flash a JVU ROM with a PIT file or use a rescue kit and your problem should be resolved
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....Do remember to backup your contacts, data, images etc and also your EFS folder before flashing a ROM and make sure you have more than 50% battery charge before you attempt any sort of flashing

Removed external SD card, SIM and battery, held power button down for one minute.
Replaced battery, rebooted into download mode, then flashed dbdata.rfs as mentioned. Phone rebooted fine. Looked in 'About Phone', and had PDA: I9000XWJVH and CSC: I9000O2UJV3, exactly as I wanted, but no PHONE/BASEBAND/MODEM.

Downloaded PHONE_XXJVU.tar.md5 via your link, then flashed that with 803 .pit file (repartition checked). Odin confirmed flash was successful, but then the phone's screen went black and I can't get it to reboot in recovery or download mode.
I've tried a battery pull and holding power button down for a minute, tried connecting phone to PC via USB, no life from phone and not coming up as connected in Odin. Completely dead and unresponsive!!

was your Battery fully charged or at least over 50%, when you flashed? This will only happen if bootloader failed in the starting process ...not too sure If the wrong PIT partition could cause it, anyway look at the various options for obtaining download mode in My Android Solutions and also scroll down to the solutions for unresponsive phone
Hey, you should follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965190
Also try out this application: http://fus.nanzen.se/
First download the latest firmware with fus downloader and then use the guide above. That worked for me
i also having the same issue like this after i format /sdcard, /mmc adn everything under CWM. need urgent assist on this. @@
@vindiablo, hope you got your phone back in working condition.

please help me because i cant leave the phone without of flashing deep sleep fix
When you flash via ODIN uncheck auto restart. Manually restart your device after you get the PASS.
i'l try that
still getting the stock one :/
Try this:
When Odin opens uncheck the auto reboot option to stop your device rebooting back to Android after flashing the custom recovery completes.
After the flash completes recheck the auto reboot option and close Odin.
Unplug the USB cable then hold the volume up, home and power buttons together for about 10 seconds until you see the Samsung logo. Release the buttons right away to boot straight to custom recovery.
thank youuuuuuu sooooooooooooo mcuhhhhhhhhhh it really worked , u really saved me , i've almost lost my hope
took me about 7 straight hours to find the fix thank you sooo much Bro !
No problem. Glad I could help

If it helps with detail I only get these screens. welcome Samsung, then missing simcard, then it asks for a Samsung account
