factory reset "invalid argument" ?

This SGS had the original O2 ADJM1 firmware without the 3 button combo, which I fixed using the 3 button fix from another thread. SGS was working fine but I thought I'd give in and try a custom Rom.
Installed Darky's 6.0, worked great, but when I tried a factory reset from the settings menu, it kind of semi bricked, so I used Odin to install "GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM" with pit 512 to recover the SGS.
Problem is, Android Market will not download "download unsuccessful" pops up all the time.
The I installed GT-I9000_I9000XWJM9, hoping to fix the problem, while keeping recovery 2e, but Android market still does not download.
When I try the "wipe data/factory" reset using the 3 button combo, I get the following errors:
Appling Multi-csc

mps_dat value: KOR
copy_multi_carrier from : KOR
multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/KOR/system/
copy common_data E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)

format_root_device: /dev/block/stl11Data wipe complete.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
I'm guessing "E" is the internal SD card, so maybe there's a problem there
Also how do I fix this android market problem ?
I really need a pointer to installing a stock fully working Rom with recovery 2e, then I can move back to Darky's new 7.0 ROM.
Any help would be great.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem.
With the invalid argument problems on data/factory reset, and the download unsucessfull problem! i have reflashed 4times JM1 on my phone !!!
i give 25$ for someone who solve the problem !

The way I fixed this problem was in two steps.
I used the Kies registry hack (someone here has created a program (which I can't find a link to right now) for windows that fools Kies to recognize your SGS as requiring an official firmware update).
Once your SGS is back on your official carrier firmware, Android market will work again.
From there, I was able to do a proper factory reset, followed by installing Draky's 7 Rom, using the 3 button combo and update zip method......and till now it's all good.
My SGS went from being a useless paper weight, to a kick ass device.
Good luck.
*You mentioned JM1* you may not need to go back to that firmware, but whatever official carrier firmware that Kies updates your SGS to, should fix the market problem.

With the Internal SD Corrupted Fix, i have formated my internal SD and there is no invalid argument when i do a data/factory reset.
but i think this is another problem, i have tried anything.
The hang on installing/unistalling problem come when i add my Google Account on the Android Market.
After this, i can't install or unistall anything.. that show installing.... at the infinite.
(sry for my english)
i have created a new google account for re-downloading again applications on the market, but i'm really sad because i have bought a lot of with my other account! wtf...
can't someone have any ideas or can help me?
thanks!

[Q] failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)

Could the inner partition be restored?
The phone admits recovery and download options, but any (official or not) rom can be installed without access to the damaged inner partition.
pd. it's a samsung galaxy ace s5830i, which was rooted and enhanced with the LINK2SD app and nothing more (no previous overclocking, no flashing attemp)
Thanks in advance.

In Odin, put the .pit file, and tick "Repartition" (your phone must be in the download mode).
This should (yes, SHOULD) work.

hi mate.
your problem is that you're trying to run a gingerbread rom, while you have an ICS/JB bootloader. the two use an entirely different partition scheme, so it's not finding the storage when it tries to access it. it seems to be a common occurrence, lots of people aren't aware that the two differ, when they're even aware that bootloaders exist.
if you look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37836094&postcount=2 , you'll find the solution i gave someone else that had that problem the other day.

to succesfuly downgrade from cm10 to stock GB you have to flash 3-file ROM with pit512 and re-partition checked.
