Have you tried to reflash your Galaxy with Odin?
Downloads:
Odin
JM5 Firmware PASS: samsung-firmwares.com
PIT 512
Howto:
1.Open ODIN. (And close Kies, if you have it open. It is important to have ODIN open BEFORE connection the phone via USB!)
2.Select the PDA/Modem/CSC/.PIT files in Odin. (PDA=CODE, .PIT and PDA are required. CSC and Modem are HIGHLY recommended. They may be necessary depending on the PDA! Try flashing all three BEFORE reporting bugs, if you only used one initially!)
3.Remove the SD card and SIM card from the phone.
4.Turn the phone into the download mode by pressing and holding VolumeDown+Home+Power.
5.Connect your phone with your computer and wait until the drivers are installed.
6.If the drivers are installed, click Start.
7.The phone will be flashed and once it’s finished, it will boot up. (Do NOT disconnect the usb-cable, remove the battery or otherwise interrupt this process!)
8.You have successfully flashed your phone.

Your SGS is not broken you are just doing things without the right knowlegde.
Don't do things you don't understand !!!
Read before you do something !!!

Yes i have flashed mtimes with odin and successfully but this time its differrent i can't flash any rom and i keep having that error above

Welll it worked when i changed the .pit file which came with Odin to your .pit file and mine was 513 yours 512...but at the end when it booted there was one red line about some sytem ... it went fast so i could'nt read it but anyway thnx alot

You always have to use the correct PIT File for a Firmware.

yes .i tick re-repartition , and it can't start after flashing 2.1 rom or 2.2 rom
somebody said "when some date is writing during the voodoo runing,at that time power off by accident could make SD Card block"
"E:\" can't wipe , how can i fomat E: partition ?
i'm keeping on wait
thank you

lets get this correct download mode works
Flashed to Eclair but still fails to boot as voodoo was enabled /is enabled .
Therefore phone cannot be seen by PC and cannot boot to format .
can you get into clockwork recovery mode and format from that and wipe all data .

What software was this you downloaded .
You get no other answers it will have to be a Samsung service centre .

thank you very much ~
i'm not good at English , so "Eclair" means 2.1 rom ?
1. when it turn off i can't get in recovery mode ,so voodoo is enabled when i flashed 2.2 rom .
2. i used a software named "UC xunlei" to down a salmpe 720P RMVB video at that time . then it turned off.
3. clockwork recovery can't use . only samsung recovery mode can get in.
4. my i9000 was sending to Samsung service centre yesterday, but they said "maybe they can't repair it either"
"sigh................."

I'll try to walk you through step by step through a method that has never failed..If it still fails then your internal SD might have issues..
1. Download XXJPU firmware from samfirmware.com
http://www.multiupload.com/PUSOOBQ8K5
The password to this zip file is: samfirmware.com
Once the file is extracted, you will have 4 files in it:
GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
s1_odin_20100512.pit
2. Open Odin
Download here: http://db.tt/QuA1G6s
That is a sure working Odin. The one I use. Extract that and run Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. In Odin:
check Re-Partition
Click PIT and select s1_odin_20100512.pit
Check and click PDA and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5 The file that has MODEM in its file name.. SORRY!!!!!
Check and click CSC and select GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
Do not touch any of the other options. Leave them the way they are.
3. Exit Kies (make sure it is not running AT ALL).
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
5. Click START in Odin... if Odin gets stuck for a LONG time (progress bar isn't moving at all in both phone and Odin).. unplug phone, pull battery, restart computer and repeat from step 2.
6. Once Odin says it succeeded wait for phone to reboot.
7. If you still encounter the same error then report back here... I might have another idea. Hopefully you don't get the error again though...
Edit:
If that fails you can read this guy's post..
This guy seemed to have been lucky and got is supposed dead I9000m SGS working again. Here's his procedure:

That solution looks fine but i'm in worst situation ever since i can't do this:
4. Put your phone into DOWNLOAD mode (volume down + power + home) and plug into your computer
My phone is stuck in the fisrt screen.( with this text Samsung Galaxy s i-I9000)
i can't enter in download mode, i also noticed that even the battery icon doesn't show up i only get loading icon not the battery one. Please help.

damnit, i tried the method anoneemooz posted. But Odin just stops after a couple of minutes flashing, and gave me the error message: Couldn't write to...
I can go in download modus and in recovery mode, but i cannot flash a ROM. I tried a couple of 2.2.1 ROMS

it dispaly " DATA_LOOP=FALSE CACHE_LOOP=FALSE DBDATA_LOOP=FALSE BIND_DATE_TO_DBDATA=FALSE"
now, i still can't wipe or fomat my internal SD Card
notice"E:can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

also it shows "Error mounting /mnt/sdcard/ android_secure!

Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Should that not be MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5

SORRY!!! For PHONE it should be the file that says MODEM in its filename. Copy pasted wrong name.

Download jg5 from samefirmware.com
Close everything relatet to keys and nps. Check in the tray and close if its running there. Use Odin3 v 3.1 and make sure u put the files in the right place:
PDA=Code
Phone=Modem
CSC=CSC
As pit download 512.pit
Check repartition.
AFTER tgis put ur phone in download mode and connect it.
Thrn click start and let it do its thing. If it doesnt work just try 3 or 4 times. Always been able to fix the error u get like this

I know you guys don't like new posts, but I've spent the past 2 days trying to figure this out and I am about to give up.
I'll just lay this out in bullets and this is just a last attempt before I throw this phone out:
Phone: GT-i9000 bought full price from Bell, unlocked running on Fido
Rom Installed: ROM Name: All In One Edition Version: 7.0 Developer: Spike_M Firmware: XXJPY
I shut the phone off because it stopped responding to any touches, turn it back on and its stuck on the SAMSUNG GALAXY S Logo.
Can enter DOWNLOAD mode using three button combo, but not RECOVERY mode.
This means that I tried to flash a new FW using ODIN. What I tried to flash:
Used:
Odin3 v1.3
PDA = I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar
PIT = s1_odin_20100512.pit
PHONE = MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
CSC = GT-I9000-CSC-MULTI-OXAJPU.tar.md5
When I click Start on Odin with either ☐ Re-Partition or ☑ Re-Partition, it reboots into RECOVERY mode, "Wipes Data", and gives me this error message:
HTML:
"E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (Invalid argument) E:/copy_data_default_apk:Can't mount DBDATA: your storage and not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
and just hangs.
I found this link: forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage
and tried the solution. I can access the adb shell when the phone is stuck in recovery mode, but I don't have root access so I can't push any files like parted onto the /sbin folder because it says "Permission denied"
If anyone can tell me if phone is a lost cause, I can stop trying already and get on with my life. If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

my "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem has been solved by this.
It may not be the same problem but the following solved my "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" problem, not "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2". I used JM2, 512 pit.

1. Enter your phone in dl-mode, but don't connect yet.
2. Open Odin, tag re-partition, auto reboot and f.reset time, make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked. select CORRECT PIT-file (2.1 ROMS usually 512, 2.2 ROMs many times 803, samfirmware always tells which one to use next to the dl-link of a ROM-file), enter your phone in dl-mode, plug, wait it to be recognized by Odin.
3. Click start, wait until Odin shows PASSED, unplug your phone, remove the battery for 30 seconds, enter dl-mode again, don't plug just yet.
4. In Odin, click Reset. Then select PDA, Modem and CSC files compatible with the PIT-file used in re-partition, plug your phone, make sure re-partition NOT checked and no PIT-file selected (once again, make sure you use correct PDA for the PIT you flashed). auto-reboot and f.res.time should be selected. Make sure efs clear and bootloader -fields are NOT checked.
4- Plug your phone and when recognized, click start. Wait to be passed. Now your phone will boot (or if not, boot manually) and should work just fine.
Edit: Try to put Eclair ROM, for example JM2, not jpa, and see if it works better.

Thanks, I'll try that and report back to you...

[Q] Can't boot phone after flashing CM9

Hello everyone,
I've tried to install CM9 on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. However, I must have done something wrong in the process. I'm totally new to the whole custom ROM thing. I'll try to list the steps I performed to install CM9. I hope someone can point out where I went wrong.
Generally, I followed the instructions given in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363593 .
1) Installed "ROM Manager" (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&hl=de).
2) Rooted my phone according to the instructions in http://androidadvices.com/root-samsung-galaxy-gt-i9000-android-234-xxjvr-firmware/3/ . This uses Odin 3 v1.7 and also installed CWM Recovery (v3.0.0.5) . I checked that my firmware exactly matches the one for which the description is for.
3) Performed a backup using CWM Recovery.
4) Performed wipe (data/factory reset AND cache).
5) Installed CM9 using CWM which I had downloaded from the links given in the thread given at the beginning and placed the four .zip files (CM9, Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock) on my external SD card. I only realized afterwards that the instructions said to place them on the internal SD card.
6) Installed Google apps, Google apps fix and Faceunlock using CWM.
7) Selected reboot in CWM. However, the device didn't boot into Android. First I saw the CM logo screen, then the phone got stuck on the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen.
8) Read instructions again, realized that I forgort the wipe after installing Google apps. Performed the two wipes again, however the problem remained.
9) Read instructions again, realized that I was supposed to install the .zip files from the internal SD card. I assumed that was the step I went wrong. So I decided to restore to my stock ROM which I had backup'ed before. I used the restore option in CWM, selected my previous backup (located on external SD card) and performed the restore.
10) However, the phone still does not get pass the "Samsung Galaxy S I9000" screen. When I boot into CWM, the following appears on my screen
E:unknown volume for path [/data]
E:unknown volume for path [/data]
E:Unable process volume! Skipping...

E:unknown volume for path [/cache]

The same apperas if I try to do a "restore" from CWM again.
My questions:
1) Where did I go wrong?
2) What must I do to be able to attempt to install CM9 again?
Thanks in advance!

To get back to stock you have to flash a 3 file stock rom with repartition in odin.
i think the best is to get back stock, if you tried to restore a backup. then flash semapore kernel.
Then boot in recovery, wipe. Flash build 12 and gapps then reboot.

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Sorry, I don't really understand most of your post
1) What is a "3 file stock rom"? I know what the stock ROM is, however, what is with the "3 file"?
2) Where can I get the proper stock ROM for my phone? Haven't I backup'ed my stock ROM when I did the backup in CWM?
3) What is repartition?
4) What is semapore kernel? Why do I need it? Where can I get it?
5) So according to you I did nothing wrong in my installation and it *could* work if I tried a second time?

First take a look in ramads thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
1. Here you can read how to flash with odin and download the latest gingerbread stock rom
2 your backup will work, but you have to be on a stock rom first.
3. read how to flash with odin in the link.
4. Semapore kernel is a custom kernel, comes prerooted and stuff.
so after you are back stock you can flash this in odin, put it in pda and dont thick repartiton. No you are ready again. turn of phone, boot into recovery mode with 3 button combo, here you can restore your backup if you want. or wipe factory reset, wipe catche and dalvik catche flash build 12 and gapps from internal sd. reboot and enjoy ics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 remember to download the correct kernel for your build.
5. hard to say, the best way to get correct cwm is to flash a kernel as semapore or cf root. maybe it was somthing with your cwm (recovery)
Edit: it take some time to boot the first time

Thanks again for your reply.
So I managed to flash the stock ROM. I chose the "XFJV7/XXJVQ/OXFJV1/Sbl (MultiCSC)" which is the newest one for Android 2.3.4. I didn't tick "repartition" and didn't select Pit (what is this?) in Odin.
Now considering the Semapore kernel: how do I know which one to download in the thread you posted? Can I just take the newest one? Will I have root once I've installed this kernel? I'm asking because in the FAQ (semaphore.gr/faq) it says it requires another app (Superuser) in order to have root?

its not the newest. you should have thick repartition and 512 pit here. But if the phone boots up i think its ok. only kernel flash its important not to thick repartition.
its best to use this kernel http://download.chainfire.eu/124/CF-Root/SGS/CF-Root-XX_UNK_JVQ-v3.7-CWM3RFS.zip

I tried flashing CM9 again with the Semapore kernel I had installed first. It seemed to work, however, after booting into CM9, a screen appeared that said something like "Device encryption failed" and I could not get into the OS. Any idea what that could have been?
I'll give it another try anyway, this time with repartitioning and PIT when flashing the stock ROM and with the other kernel you suggested.

Slightly off topic, but what's with this obsession about 3 file roms that's been going around for a long time? I have yet to see any evidence to support the belief that 3 files rom is someone better than single file rom.
@OP: Try flashing CM7 first. See if that works. Then flash CM9.

So what's the difference between a 3 file ROM and a single file ROM?
I've tried again with PIT + repartition, the CF kernel and CM9. However, the whole thing ended in a bootlop (Samsung Galaxy S I9000 foloowed by CM screen).
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...
I'll try CM7 next...
edit: Something else I noticed. When I connect my phone as mass storage, the internal SD card still contains a bunch of files/folders that belong to apps from my original installation. Shouldn't these be deleted when I did the data/factory reset?
edit2: According to the CM7 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1061946), "you're not able to flash any kernel or run any filesystem you want". So which kernel can I use?

Hi,
I'll get 3 weeks ago SGS in a bottloop after flashing CM9 build11 (teamhacksung's) from latest CM7.
I went mad four about few hours, afterthat I decided to reflash stock 2.3.6 (JVX_JV3_JVT.tar).
After flashing with Odin, I end-up with in DBDATA error after rebooting..
So I flashed dbdata.rfs.tar and I've got original 2.3.6 working.
So:
-I've rooted my device again (CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar)
-Installed ROM manager
-Rebooted into recovery
-Flashed ICS port latest builds + GApps + face unlock (and wiped ALL).
No my device is working with ICS,
hope this will help you guys on flashing ICS and don't waste time.
Cheers

Thanks. I've tried your approach, but I'm only getting the "encryption unsuccessful" screen after entering my PIN. It says something like the encryption was lost and can't be completed and that therefore, the data on the phone is not accessible.
In the "Known issues" list in the CM9 thread it says
Phone unnecessarily gets data connection on device encryption password enter screen.

But I'm not sure if they're referring to my particular problem.

May be the only way is to wait devs to solve that issue.
I'm so sorry that my tips didn't work 4 u...

One question, do you have your SD Card in your phone when you are going through the install process? If so, take that out before flashing anything. It has been the cause of problems for a lot of people coming to CM9.

Hi, thanks for your replies.
I seem to have solved the issue. When the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared, I booted to recovery using the power button (a menu will appear letting you choose between shut down, restart or recovery) and came into CWM. There, I wiped everything (i.e. factory, cache and dalvik or whatever its called) and rebooted. I could then start the OS without any further problems (until now).
I also noticed that now my internal SD card is actually "clean" again, i.e. it only contains the folders and files that are there when you get your phone new. This wasn't the case when I performed a wipe BEFORE flashing CM9.
I'm using the CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVT-v4.3-CWM3RFS.tar kernel you suggested, maybe that was the problem (I can't recall being able to boot into recovery the first time the "device encryption unsuccessful" screen appeared).
@ryanmat Yes, I did have my external SD card in the phone during the installation process, but thanks for your suggestions.
edit: I will report back if everything goes smooth for a few days.

ok, let me understand...
now you got CWM working and you've got CM9 after wipe all with rooted kernel I suggest you?

Exactly. Let me write down the individual steps I finally performed to get CM9 running.
1) Get Odin and PIT files -> http://www.multiupload.com/51MTA5K1H7
2) Boot phone to download mode
3) Start Odin on computer
4) Connect phone to computer (USB)
5) Flash stock ROM -> http://www.multiupload.com/PKVWPJJZMO (check repartition, put in the 512 PIT file and select the PDA, PHONE and CSC files from the stock ROM, then hit start)
6) Disconnect phone from computer
7) Restart Odin on computer
8) Boot phone to download mode
9) Connect phone to computer (USB)
10) Flash the CF kernel for root access -> http://www.filesonic.ch/file/2356034801 (don't check repartition, no PIT file, select the downloaded tar file as PDA, then hit start)
11) Boot the phone to the stock ROM. After the kernel was flashed, you should have CWM installed. Place the CM9 tar, as well as the gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock tars in your internal SD card. Start CWM and boot into recovery from there.
12) In CWM recovery, select install zip from SD card and select the CM9 ROM. After the installation, my phone automatically rebooted, booted CM9 and got into the "encryption unsuccessful" screen.
13) Hold the power button, select reboot and then select recovery to get back into CWM recovery.
14) Perform factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe (found under advanced).
15) Select reboot in CWM recovery, you should now be able to boot into CM9.
16) Reboot into CWM again and install gapps, gappsfix and faceunlock if desired.
I don't know if all of these steps are required or if they must be performed in this exact order. However, it worked for me (CM9 build 12).

and now build 13 is out...!!!

[Q] Failed to mount /sdcard problem

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, but I'm reading it for about 8 months now. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. After flashing with Odin3 v1.83(with 512.pit file, bootloader, PDA, PHONE and CSC), and I got a green "PASS!" on it, and after phone rebooted in Recovery Mode, I've got following error while Copying media files:
E:Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
After that, I tried flashing bunch of different ROM's but I always get the same error. Phone can go into Download mode, Recovery mode with no problem, I can also normally turn on phone and in a beggining I get a lot of "Force Close" pop-ups, but after that my phone works okay, I can go into settings and there I can see that there is no memory, so that means that my phone doesn't even sees my 8GB external micro sd card. When I try to open Camera, I get this error:
Turn off usb storage before using camera.
I currentlly have i9000XWJVZ 2.3.6 ROM on it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS(Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5). When I'm in Recovery mode and access my phone via ADB, and try to manually mount sdcard, this is what I get:
~ # mount sdcard
mount sdcard
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: I/O error
I've also tried partitioning my external 8GB micro SD card with linux(I found a video on youtube: "Samsung i9000 mmcblk0p2 error recovery"), and then tried to flash ROM on it, but I get the same error.
Can somebody please help me, I'm getting really desperate.
All ideas are welcome, Thanks.

Hi there! I have a similar problem. After updating from Android 2.3.4 Build MCGv7.6 ( I9000XXJVK) I keep on getting CWM. I can also return to download mode and use Odin with success - with as only result a changed CMW version at max. Returning to CWM 3.0.0.5 and stock rom Froyo doesn't result in a applied rom. When i try to mount /emmc and /sd-ext it simply states Error mounting /emmc! Even though I didn't format it! When I look in AROMA explorer in CWM from Semaphore_JB_2.9.12, I can see that both /emmc and /sdcard have ----- as permissions instead of rxwrx or something alike. If permissions are the problem here, Fix Permissions doesn't appear to have an effect on these two folders. Is there another way to restore these permissions?
Thanks guys for your time! :good:

Your tutorial was the first thing I tried, it fixed the wipe error, but the main error (E:Failed to mount /sdcard) stayed.

Possible solution is to Format your SD card by using SDFormatter (Windows)
01. Download "SDFormatter" from the link above
02. Install "SDFormatter"
03. Enable "USB Debugging Mode" from Developer Options in settings.
04. Connect your tablet to PC (USB).
05. Then, tap the "USB Strage Mode" to connect to PC.
06. Backup data on INTERNAL_SD card.
07. Run "SDFormatter".
08. Specify the drive letter of INTERNAL_SD in SDFormatter and click "(Option)" button.
09. "FORMAT TYPE" select "FULL OVERWRITE" and set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSMENT" to "ON" and click "OK"
10. Now click "FORMAT" and wait for the procedure to complete. (Can take approximately 1 hour 40 minutes)
11. After format is completed you can recopy the backup files back onto the INTERNAL_SD
Let me know if that works
If not hopefully someone else can give more info

This worked!
It took me about an hour, and after it was finished, I was able to flash ROM without any errors. Thank you so much for this, you saved my phone.

No problem glad it worked out for you:good:

You could try changing the way you do it. I can't remember whether you should flash dbdata straight after the rom, or if you should let it fail to boot then go back into download mode and flash it.
I do remember though that it was a bit fussy with me like that, so try it both ways.
I also found that flashing your GB ROM twice, one after the other seemed to help sometimes too. (Just noticed that I've written a .txt file in my GB ROM folder on my PC reminding me to do this, so there must have been a reason for it - been a while since I've played with gingerbread so I can't remember why)
So there's a couple of things for you to try.

Flash the JVU Rom First with PIT and Root...
When Finished Root pull battery ....put battery back in after 30 seconds
Reset ODIN Flash dbdata ..Done
Hope this helps

Thanks both of you. I will try.
EwOkie - Should I use CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS for rooting phone or others?

CF Root is in the HOW TO GUIDE or HERE
CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVU_2.3.6-v4.3-CWM3RFS is the correct one to use ...
Everythng you need is in there
