[Q] Samsung I9000 Boot Loop, after Odin reflash etc.

I have a samsung galaxy s, gt-i9000. It was on the t-mobile network. It stopped working one day and is now stuck on a boot loop. (It does go into download mode)
Can anyone help me? ps. I do not know the original firmware names etc.

If your phone goes in to download mode you can flash, using Odin, a full stock firmware.
Have you ever update it since you've bought it?

I have a problem saying Cant Mount sdcard

I have the exact same problem as ysr84.. When i click "reboot system now" it just goes back into the boot loop.
Also.. My phone does go into download mode.. I have tried to flash using Odin3 but get the image as ysr84.. My phone then repeats the boot loop sequence..
PS. I do not know which firmware the phone started with, I have been flashing with JVR.
Since I bought the phone I have not tried to update it, I think there was no available update.. =/ not 100% sure..
Although when flashing with JVR I get the "Can't mount etc"

Hello, I have tried to flash my phone with 'any' firmware as I do not know which firmware my phone was on before.

It maybe a trouble with partition.
You can try to re-virgin your phone by flashing an old eclair (JM8/JM9) firmware always using odin with pit 512, re-partition flagged.
Be careful if using a copy with bootloader.
After that (if phone boot regurarly) you can get any gingerbread firmware, obviusly if you used in the previous step bootloader for eclair firmware, than you'll get a copy of gingerbread with it's bootloader.
But i'm not sure this helps you.
Hope you solve this, guy.

What do you mean by bootloader?

If you, using 7ZIP, extract the archive PDA.TAR.MD5, from a package firmware with 3 files+pit512, you'll find boot.bin and sbl.bin.
boot.bin --> primary bootloader
sbl.bin --> secondary bootloader
I hope you don't mean what does a bootloader with your question.....

You'll have to try flashing different ODIN or Heimdall Stock builds. Unfortunately, it may or may not fix your problem. Make sure you have a USB Download Jig just in case because you'll probably get times where it looks like it won't turn on and its the only way to get it back up and running. If all else fails and your warranty is still intact, use it. These are the early signs of internal SD Card failure. If warranty is not an option, you should be able to use the external as your primary partition and lose the internal completely. Its what I'm doing currently on my i9000M with the infamous broken internal SD Card. My internal SD Card is gone completely but everything is running under my External SD Card perfectly.

Okay, so it's included within the three files + pit. That's okay, I thought there was more then four files after the extraction.. I am downloading JM8... Will tell you how I get on.

Could you perhaps guide me on how to do so, I also think my internal SD CARD is also "buggered"..
Thanks in advance..

Woah WOAH WOAH HAHAHA!... Its alive... slightly! It turns on with the galaxy S logo and does some sort of sound thing.. =/ then turns off! But wahay!... Thanks Umberto1978..
I did this by first flashing JM8 PDA with repartition off...
Then flashing JM1 PDA PHONE AND CSC WITH 512 PIT...
on restart this happened..

Sure. This is what I did on my i9000M. Internal SD Card is useless so everything is now running off my External 8 GB microSD.
Go to this page and grab Heimdall and JVT build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
Heimdall: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
JVT: http://www.multiupload.com/QMORULUWRQ
ODIN may work but I haven't tried it out myself and the packages above are made specifically for Heimdall. Set up Heimdall along with its specific drivers (included in Heimdall) to allow it to flash the phone.
- Make sure you have an external SD Card in your phone and make sure its formatted to FAT32.
- Flash the Heimdall JVT build with repartion checked using Heimdall
- Once it reboots, it'll try to format the SD Card but fail to do so and give you an error message. Ignore it and reboot the phone.
- It should now boot into Stock JVT firmware. If you go to your Storage under settings, you'll notice that Internal and External SD Card will be unavailable which is expected. You'll have 2 GB of internal storage for apps and whatever other things.
- You have two options here: 1) Continue using stock JVT; 2) Flash a custom ROM.
So let's say you want to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or MIUI. Fire up Heimdall again and go back into download mode. Flash the CF-Root for JVT kernel by Chainfire using Heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15188469&postcount=9
This will allows you to flash CWM files. You can now install Cyanogemod or whatever custom ROMs you like.
Switching the primary partitions:
Cyanogenmod has a setting where you can switch the primary partitions in Cyanogenmod settings.
Cyanogenmod Settings --> Application --> UNCHECK use internal storage --> Reboot. Your External SD Card will now be the primary partition.
For myself, I am currently running Galnet's MIUI ICS. It doesn't have the Cyanogenmod settings above. I instead use the vold.fstab trick to switch the two partitions. If you navigate to "system/etc" folder, you'll see a file called vold.fstab. Open it with Notepad++ or some other note editor. You'll see the following (this is only for Galnet's MIUI, other ROMs will have something similar. Just switch the partitions like below):
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0[/U]
# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2[/U]
Switch the two underlined around and push the vold.fstab back into system/etc/ and put the correct permissions. Your external card will now be your primary partition and your internal SD card (unavailable) is the external.
So why switch the partitions? You don't necessarily have to but if you want your phone storage to be neat, do it as it changes your sdcard mounts around, etc. You'll also get back USB mounting functions which you can't do with the internal storage being unavailable and the primary partition.

Yeah unfortunately, you have the dreaded Galaxy S bootloop. Internal SD Card is probably toast. You can test this by removing the External SD Card and trying to boot. It most likely won't get as far. What happened is that ODIN flashed Android to your external card and trying to boot off it.

I have tried to use heimdall, and once it had loaded and the phone rebooted I did get the error message, however after ignoring this, once I had rebooted the phone it goes back into the boot loop.?

Have you tried reformatting your external SD Card? Just format it to FAT32 and then try again. Also, first boot may take a few minutes. You can verify that its booting fine by using logcat if you have ADB installed on your computer.

Flash jm9 mate, not jm8. Seems to resurrect better. With odin. Pit 512 with Repartition.

I am at work but will give this a shot... I also found a lot of people resolved problem by using JM8 with repartition and 512 pit
then with JPM & pit 803 with no repartition ticked...
Use Odin 1.3... 1.8 wont allow you to tick and untick with a repart file...
Will post results tonight... its been two days and i have tried everything...

No SD card after Full Wipe

Hi, I have performed a full wipe operation in CWM. It took less than a second and the internal files were still there. So I tried to boot up the phone to check but the phone didn't boot up. I went back to recovery menu but when I tried to install CM9 the phone doesn't see the sd card. "can't mount sdcard" is one of the things written there.
What should I do now?

I got it to work but I've lost IMEI number...

You must install firmware with odin ,... i have this same problem

[Q] Installing ROM on external SD

Hello boys and girls,
I think the internal SD card of my i9000 is corrupted. I've tried everyting: wiped/factory reset, reinstalling Cyanogenmod10, installing Stock ROM, installing stockrom with re-partitioning on etc. Nothing works. I'm using odin to reinstall the stock ROM. 'Uploading' the stock ROM to my phone goes well, but then when I restart and android is installing, I get error messages like:
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 or
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1
After reading a lot on XDA, my conclusion is: broken internal storage.
Now I want to install everything on my external SD. So I bought a 8GB cat10 SD card.
I followed the instruction given in this youtube video (the error in the video is the same as mine): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08 Unfortunatly this didnt help. Reading the Youtube comments it seems this method only works when you're SD card is totally broken. Mine is not I guess
Then I found this XDA-post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893354 Seems very promising, but I seem to get stuck on '-- Extract initramfs from zImage ( https://github.com/mistadman/Extract-Kernel-Initramfs )'. I;ve got a virtual machine running Ubuntu. When I start the script, nothing happens..... the terminal just closes.
The easiest solution for my problem would be a ROM that is altered to directly install on my external SD. I red somewhere that ROMS like that exist. Can't seem to find one though.
Well.. thanks for reading my post, and accept my appologies for my bad english. You can probably notice I'm not a native speaker.
Does someone have a solution for me? Maybe know of a good thread?
Thanks in advance!
Greatings, Eldoro

check out My Android Solutions and My Android Collections on How to Flash a Rom with a broken SD card
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.

Thanks for your advice. There are a lot of solutions in 'My android solutions'. I have taken another look at my error message, but it's a bit different then the onces that a there. So I don;t know wich one to pick. I will attach a screenshot of my error message:
Trying the other link you gave me (My android Collections), I don't really understand the second step. See my remarks in red:
[I]ROM update without SDcard
If you don't have an sd card, or your slot is broken you can try this trick, but you will need a custom recovery like Clockwork.
Boot up your phone to recovery. And move your rom file to the adb directory, and start a command line ( cmd ) (How do I do this? Where is de adb directory? Where do I start cmd, on my pc or on my android? What is a adb shell?)
adb shell
mount data
adb push D:\custom_rom.zip /data/
Wait until the push finised, and restart your device to recovery again with "adb reboot-bootloader"
mount data
mount /data /sdcard ( mount the data folder into your sdcard folder, so your recovery will think that you have an sdcard installed )
Locate the ROM .Zip file you wish to flash.
Confirm the flash by following the on-screen instructions (ie: pressing the trackball, pressing the call button, etc.)
If no errors arise during the flashing process then the ROM flash was successful, Reboot the device.
With some root file explorer, remove the rom file if you don't need it anymore, to free up space.
Or use adb to remove the custom recovery
adb shell rm data/custom_rom.zip
[/I]
Hope you can point me in the right direction.

what are you trying to flash with 3e recovery, its better to use CWM recovery, just flash a semaphore kernel to get root and CWM

I've flashed smaphore kernel with Odin. I also downloaden Cyanogenmod-10-20121017.
I started my phone with the 3 button combo and got into CMW 6. Then I mounted USB storage and tried to transfer CM-10 to internal storage. While transfering my phone reboots...
I then succesfully copied the CM-10 file to my external SD. When I install the zip (after a wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache) I get the following error: postimage.org/image/5ma4nnnhj/
When I restart my phone I can't get into CMW again... so I flash semaphore again.
When I;m in CMW again I tried some thing... maybe its interesting for you to see:
After I wipe data/ factory reset, and I go to advance -> show log, I see the following errors: postimage.org/image/ygj9q6o1v/
Another example. In CWM, when I try to mount /data and /system, I get the following error: postimage.org/image/hol1hhhyd/
Mounting /data or /cache goes doesnt give any problems.
Hope this gives you some more insight..

The root cause of your problem is status 0 ( see My Android Solutions) likely you have flashed an ICS or JB kernel on a Gingerbread , thus having the wrong version of CWM on your phone . go here My Android Collections and download the correct kernel to use according to the firmware you are using
Check Here to chose your forum/Guide by Version of your phone or you will have more problems by using wrong solutions due to different versions of Galaxy S
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.)

Then I flashed Gingerbread (I9000XXJVU_I9000OXAJVU_OXA) -> pda, modem and csc file, partitioning unchecked). After flashing, android keeps restarting on this screen: postimage.org/image/o5ojzxvnr/
Then I pull out battery again, hold powerbutton and power on my phone again. Then I get this error message: postimage.org/image/ecnm34gmf/
I then flash again with semaphore GB 2.7.4. When I restart my phone I don't get past the first 'Galaxy S' screen....

Do a clean flash, meaning you will wipe everything and format your SD card too, since you will have CWM recovery
1) 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....
2) use combo keys to get into CWM recovery
a) wipe everything, data, cache, dalvik cache in advance
b) go into > mounts and Storage> format everything (except boot) repeat ..do it twice....than pull out battery and use combo keys to boot into download mode ( you will lose everything in your phone by doing this, hope you have backed up your contacts, images and game data etc) If you did not mout to USB storage first and copy the entire SD card to your PC first)
3) connect to PC, use ODIN3 and flash the JVU ROM with a 512 PIT file with repartitioning checked
Once it has booted , check your phone, check your SD card ( so that everything is functioning)
4) Flash the GB semaphore kernel and check again all is functioning, backup your efs before you try custom roms like this

Fundamentally your problem seems to be related to an SVOX installation ( text to speech engine) you must have used when your phone was functioning ...which seems to be mounted and giving you this error
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't unmount "/dbdata"
E:Format_volume failed to unmount "/dbdata"
so you need to get back into CWM > mounts and storage> unmount everything and also format everything including boot, after that , ( DO NOT BOOT phone after doing this)
after this pull out battery and this time include i9000 JVU bootloader + JVU + 512 PIT ( update bootloader and repartition TICKED and reboot UNTICKED )
after that flash again the JVU ROM and reboot phone
If this fails, we may need to downgrade the ROM to 2.2 and use a speedmod kernel and try, basically, your Internal SD partition is stuck on this one dbdata partition and you need to get it formatted to solve your SD problem ( looks like you are in luck as someone else had this problem earlier , read this thread and solved it.
suggest you use a note book to note down what you are doing (step by step) and what was the result to get to the bottom of solving this , once and for all, will be useful for others who may have this problem.

Tried your first advice. Couldnt unmount SD Card and didnt saw a boot partition to unmount.... Flashed with JVU bootloader, JVU, 512pit like you said. Then flashed again JVU. Got the same result... didnt work. Still error messages.
Then flashed with ROM 2.2 and speedmod kernel. Could format the SD Card with CWM now... Again no result in the end. Didnt get the error messages though when android install... but still keeps rebooting when booting.
Then used the EZbase recovery kit, like described in the thread you gave me (althoug the thread is a bit old and hard to understand). Flashed everything in the kit with EZodin. Result: no error messages after reboot, but I can see it doesnt finish the first install. Then it reboots and gets stuck on the Samsung video..
Now trying to connect to my phone via ADB. Downloaden the ADB toolkit. Want to try this:
adb shell
mount /sdcard
su
parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
rm 1
rm 2
rm 3
quit
Its hard to understand if above commands fixed the problem in the thread you gave me... it's not very well described..

Do you have tips to connect to my phone through ADB? Downloaden ADB-toolkit and started adb-toolkit-main.cmd.
Reinstalled Samsung USB drivers..tried to connect in download mode and in recovery (with different CMW versions). Installed the drivers included in ADB-toolkit through zadig.exe.. tried in download mode and recovery...

Flashed with ezbase_recovery_kit_gb. Powered down and flash the stock kernel first. Then flash with partitioning ticked. After reboot it starts to install, but reboots. Then I don;t get past the first Samsung screen. Installed the rooted kernel and rebooted.. didnt got passed the Samsung screen.
Then powered down again and flashed the ezbase_gb bootloader, After that I flashed again with PDA, SCS, Phone and pit (repartioning ticked). Rebooted and the phone starts installing but reboots when doing so. Then again don't get past Samsung Screen.
I;ve made a movie of the initial install. I don't get red error messages, but looked at the video in slomotion and noticed there is still a error message in yellow.

looks like all your earlier problems is solved but strange its not booting, try flashing a JVU Bootloader with an 803 PIT ( RePartition UNTICKED) from My Android Collections
after this try a custom ROM, meaning flash a semaphore kernel, after that do the wipes, after that mount to USB storage and copy i9000 CM 9.1 stable to SD card and flash it

Only when copying CM 9.1 to my phone, my phone restarts when it's halfway.... Tried it a few times, but can't copy the file to my phone...

you can try any other way to do it, you can even copy it in your EXt SD card and flash from there..which ever suits you.
Bottom line, the errors are not there, so you may just flash the ROM, twice or thrice to get it working

Installed CM9.1 from external SD card. Installing zip finishes without errors, but on boot it gets stuck on the cyanogenmod video. Reinstalled a few times, but no succes. Then flashed with semaphore Jellybean kernel and tried installing CM10nightly... no succes either didnt finisch install... Then flashed semaphore ICS kernel again and tried again with CM9.1.. Result: not errors installing, but freezes on boot...
Then I flashed again with cm9.1 and looked in the log after installing te zip. Seems there are errors! Screenshot of log: http://postimage.org/image/cp1devyfl/

Basically, it is CWM errors and not what you should solve first, you need to get your phone booting, so get back to Stock ROM , try Darkys Resurrection with PIT, IF all goes well try for CM 7 first...DO not Flash a CM kernel First, always flash the ROM and only after that, use the relevant kernel for that ROM
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....

Try repeated flashing at least 3 times, first with 512 Pit ( partition) , second with 803 Pit ( dont partition) and third without Pit, use JVU ROM
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, after flashing and reboot , insert them back

ok, odin will normally get stuck for two reasons, 1) Kies interference, which mean Kies is running in the background or 2) the firmware is corrupt .
But I had lately experienced another, that is the PC, of a sudden I cannot flash on my PC as Odin gets stuck in the middle ( it was good all the time but one morning, it acted up, drove me nuts, till I switched to my laptop and it was good to go ) tried it again on my PC, gets stuck half way.. I still cannot find out the cause of this.
so do try with another Lap top or PC

i have tried to flash pit and kernels with diferent laptops but still it stuck at setup connection.

First and foremost, I think things would be easier if you use a recover system such as TWRP or CWM.
Because AFAIK, if you use the Samsung Recover system, there is no option of formatting your system.
Formatting your system will delete your current ROM,meaning your phone will not reboot until you have flashed a new ROM.
Can someone clarify that the Samsung Recovery System does not have option to format system? I could be giving the wrong info

ok, setup connection is mostly due to an external problem, have you try a different version of Odin and ROM package?

[Q] Dicked internal memory (E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1); Now what?

Hey guys. I looked through the relevant threads that popped up before posting this, and none of the ones I hadn't already seen quite seemed to match the issue I am having.
The phone gets stuck on boot loop but I can force it to show the error we are talking about by going in to recovery mode and wiping the cache and factory resetting. Otherwise it just boot loops forever.
I have seen a few threads of similar issues, but they are all unresolved or their error is slightly different. In my case it is a
"(No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:"
I read somewhere it is possible to use an external card to run the phone whilst you nuke the internal memory and reset tables etc before flashing some stock ROM again. I have a spare mSD already formatted as per this video (he uses an 8GB partitioned 6GB fat32 and 2GB reiser, I simply have double both since I am using a 16GB card), but now I am unsure of what to do exactly. I can't do anything with the phone itself, so I am stuck using download mode or the standard android recovery mode (no CWM).

have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30415128

Had this happen to me when I was trying to go back to stock from CM 10.1. I am not sure how that happened, but I just flash a bunch of different roms through odin and it solved itself.

Possible solution
Hello. I've solved the same problem on my I9000. Here are the steps I followed:
I've used: Odin 1.70; 16GB Micro SDcard class 6; XWJW5 3 archives stock rom, pit file 512, CF root for JW5; CM9; Devil Kernel for i9000 and HellyBean 4.2.2.
1 - Format the 16Gb micro sd to FAT32.
2 - Turn device into Download Mode. I have flashed the HWJW5 stock rom with 3 files (PDA, CODE, CSC) with Odin 1.70, including 512 pit archive and Re-Partition ticked (all flashes with the micro sd inserted in the device). Micro sd is partitioned at boot installation. Restart into bootloop.
3-After flash, Download Mode again and flash the CF root for JW5.
4-After rooting, went into bootloop again. Remove the battery, remove the micro sd and connect it to PC (it shows only 13Gb FAT32, the rest remained for the Android system). I put in the micro sd the following files to flash in recovery, CM9 + Devil Kernel for i9000 + HellyBean 4.2.2.
5-I put the micro sd in the device, enter into recovery mode and flash CM9. After flashing the device turn on with CM7.
6 - Once in CM9, enter recovery again, flash Devil Kernel. Reboot recovery again, wipe all and flash HellyBean 4.2.2 (I think it should work with any CM10 or 10.1, I have not tried)
7-I have the device running 4.2.2 HellyBean from my micro sd with no problem (I've changed the vold.fstab for mass storage). He's back to life. Then I have installed CM10.1 Gapps.
Everything I used to do it you can find here on XDA.
Hope this can help you.

Great advice mate helped me out a lot. But could you please copy down the text in the "void.fstab" file that i would need to change as i am sortof a noob in this sort of region :silly:. the problem i seem to have is that i cant access gallery or camera as it says external sd not inserted i am using gamerzrom which i presume will be the same file directories as hellybean "e.g. : emmc" for external sd card. hope im making some kind of sense lol thanks mate :highfive:

This is the vold i have used for cm10.1.

I have this same exact error in my Samsung infuse 4g... Do you think that I could follow similar steps to help fix my error. I have two errors show up before bootloop
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD
Any help or direction appreciated
