Hi All
Need your valuable help as am afraid i might have bricked my phone. I am not savvy but can follow directions. I PROPERLY followed these steps on the ninjaromeo website and selected wipe data/factory reset and wipe cache partition. And then selected "APPLY UPDATE FROM SD CARD" and selected the APPROPRIATE zip file of "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tass-KANG-signed-21102011". which was listed in the link. However it was not through the CMW recovery mode which i realised after doing it and it also said something like
E: format_volume: rfs for
at failed on dev/stl13 Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: rfs for
at failed on dev/stl14
Data wipe complete.
The after doing this i installed the ROM "update-cm-7.1.0-RC1-tass-KANG-signed-21102011" and after reboot it shows the normal Samsung GT-S5570 and then shows the letters "ANDROID" to the right of the screen in the middle. This is all that happens.
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

You followed the ROM flash tutorial. But you missed the recovery install tutorial. You installed it via stock recovery. It looks like your phone is alive, so find the tutorial in general section by Bunnybugs007 (sorry if I typed the name wrong, I watched that tutorial almost a year ago), and it will work.
now flash a stock firmware through odin in download mode
then flash flash recovery
after that you can flash rom

Dear all, I tried now for two full days to resurrect my i9000, with no success so far. I hope one of you can give me a hint where my problem/error lies.
A bit of background: The phone was bought without a contract (no branding) and with android 2.2 (or 2.1?) installed. Afterwards I upgraded to ginger bread with kies, all worked fine for months.
The day before yesterday (after I installed and updated some apps) the phone was quite slow, so I wanted to reboot it. The booting was looped for a couple of times, and as it made it finally to boot, it was almost not reacting anymore. I uninstalled the apps I recently installed and then the phone froze. Now the phone wasn't able to exit the boot loop anymore. I searched this and other forums and learned about recovery mode, download mode, flashing and bootloaders and all these things. And indeed, in the recovery mode, there was an error:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format and reboot actions
Media files copy failed.
Finally I convinced myself, that simply - for what ever reason - android needs to be reinstalled. Long story short: I tried different versions (from 2.1 to 2.3.6) with bootloader, with 1 or 3 files, with different versions of Odin3 (1.7, 1.82, 1.85), with or without repartitioning (pit files 214 [EDIT:I meant 512!] and 803, the later succeded as well, but gave me error messages in the recovery mode). All with the same outcome: Now the phone boots up to the blinking S logo ("splash screen"?), and stays there forever (2h+), while the S is not stuck, but blinks and turns b/w in circles. I let it do this over the last night (connected to my laptop, so it would not decharge) and the next morning it was off, so I guess at some point after 2 hrs it gave up. I found a couple of comparable posts, but my situation I found no where... (not really a boot "loop", neither gets it stuck, but can't complete booting plus wiping and/or flashing, no matter which version, seems not to help).
If any one kept on reading until here and knows something that might help (and/or that I have overlooked so far) I would be more than grateful for a hint!
Thanks a lot!
try flashing the 2.3.5 JVT Firmware with 512.pit and repart. I do not know any firmware which uses those strange .pit files you used(except one or two very old Fimrwares which are using the 803.pit file).. If the phone doesn't boot after doing that you can try formatting your SD in recovery. According to that Errormessage you get in Recovery it could be possible that something is wrong with yout internal Memory. Formatting the internal Memory could solve your problem. After doing both your Galaxy might boot again. If not it could be an Hardwareissue too. In this case just flash the latest official Firmware and send it to samsung and let them repair ist Attantion: All Files like pictures, videos or whatever on your Internal-Memory will be deleted if you format your internal memory!(that apps are deleted after flashing schould be known by everyone )

use the tutorial to boot to stock firmware, this should put your phone back in business....
no success
Thank you two for your fast answer!
Unfortunately it didn't do the trick
As I wrote 214 I meant the "normal" 512 pit file (d'oh!), sorry for that, orangerot.
I noticed something strange: I left the phone turned off for some hours today, and after the reboot there was again the boot loop I had in the very beginning (until the white Logo), and going to recovery mode there was an error:
Code:
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI men
u for format and reboot actions.
Media files copy failed.
I tried a wipe that led me to the following:
Code:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
E:format_volume rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Deleting Meta Data
Data wipe failed.
asking google for that I found a thread (in german) on handy-faq.de (samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_forum/225311-geraet_gewiped_bootschleife), in which the contributors came to the conclusion the only way would be (and was in the end) the samsung repair service.
Interesting is, that after a reboot I was again at the same position as before (glowing S) and no error message in the recovery mode. From this starting point I tried again to flash (with JVT, 512.pit through Odin3 v1.85, as you suggested), with no visible change of behaviour: still booting only until the glowing S, no error in recovery mode, wiping doesn't help but finishes without error.
If anyone has some additional idea I would appreciate to hear about, otherwise I guess I try to flash an official Android version (any idea how to find out which is the most recent official version updatable from kies?), and bring it to the samsung partner.
Thanks a lot!
I have had athat happen before, try flashing darky's resurrection edition via odin. It worked for me.
Here: http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-darkys-resurrection-edition-10-1-gt-i9000-only-for-now.3237/
still not recovered
Thank you, B1-P,
but unfortunately it didn't work. Odin quitted with green "pass" and "succeed", but after the first reboot afterwards it ended in recovery mode with following errors:
Code:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

Ahh man...
Okay, there are a couple of more things you can do,
1. Try darky resurrection rom V9.2 (I think your issues maybe due to some lagfix problems/mounting filesystem incorrectly etc.) Try the 9.2 in odin, make sure that you have checked the "Repartition" as ON and have a PDA and a PIT file selected.
http://www.darkyrom.com/community/index.php?threads/odin-rom-darkys-resurrection-edition-9-2.895/
2. And if the Darky rom 9.2 does not work, then this thread is your best shot (you will need at least some linux experience for this to be helpful):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845708
If all that doesn't work, then I don't know what will.... I'm sorry.. I don't know what else you could do. Try a repair centre as a last resort I guess.
Did you try to format your internal sd? Wiping and formatting are two diffrent things.. And in your logs I only see that you are wiping your data.. So just try formatting your internal sd. i think you will find it under "mounts and storages" in cwm. I've read before that this may help to solve this problem. if this does not help it could be that your internal sd is broken. In this case you have to send it to the samsung repairservice. but make sure you flash the official JVI firmware to remove the clockworkmod, so they cannot see that you have flashed your mobile cause if the recognize it they may refuse tu repair your mobile
Try darky resurrection rom V9.2

After I installed Darky's resurrection 10.1 I had troubles to get in recovery mode... and loads of errors the few times I managed... last attempts didn't bring me to the modified but the "original" recovery menu. I think I don't dare to try Darky's ROM 9.2 after this experience. And for messing around with EXT4 and Linux I don't feel ready at all, thanks though for the link! Now I am back on a stock version and again the old picture.
Did you try to format your internal sd?
Click to expand...

I thought when I use the pit file and check the repartition box it will reformat the internal sd?? If not... this cwm... I didn't quite get what exactly it is. Isn't it an android app? How can I use it, when I am not able to boot?
And then: is JVI and JV1 the same? If not where is the difference?
Thanks again! (And sorry if my questions are silly)
No, repart only reparts the system partition off the phone. the internal and external SD are not going to be formatted while reparting. If it would behave like that all your photos, videos, folders and so one would have been deleted. Apps are deleted because they are saved on the system-partition.
CWM is a recovery which has some more features than the stockrecovery. You get it with flashing a CustomRom(they usually all have CWM) or an CustomKernel(e.g. CF-Root, Semaphore etc.).
You can acces CWM by holding Vol-up+homebutton+powerbutton at boot and release them when the Galaxy GT-I9000 screen appears. Its just like getting into the Downloadmode but instead of pressing vol- you have to press vol+. Once you are in CWM you navigate to mounts and storages(with vol-up/vol-down you can go up/down and with the powerbutton you select an option) and format your internal sd there. After that everything may be fine again If not you have to send it to the samsung-repair-service after flashing the official JVI-firmware to delete CWM and so on. JVI and JV1 are not the same.. JVI ist the last official firmware(2.3.3) while JV1 is a leaked, unoffical firmware. So you have to flash JVI befor sending you phone to samsung while JVI ist the last official firmware.
back to life
Dear orangerot, dear B-1P
thanks for your patience!
Then I knew the cwm, I just didn't know it was called that way.
last attempts didn't bring me to the modified but the "original" recovery menu.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So the "modified" recovery menu I talked about was the cwm. In the last attempt with Darky's Rom I couldn't get back to that cwm... maybe I released the 3 buttons at the wrong time? Don't know.
However, in the mean time I gave the phone to a service partner of Samsung, and they sent it to Samsung. Today I got it back and everything works again. Unfortunately they didn't give any details on what they did (except for new installation of the OS, which didn't help for me...).
So for me this problem is solved (for now...)
Cheers!
I'm really hoping someone can help me. I've been searching the forums for about 2 days now and there are similar issues, but not with my model of tab.
I have the GT-P1000M
It is stuck on the Samsung screen.
I can flash the gt-p1000_mr.pit and it just does the same thing. (Goes to Samsung logo)
When I go into the Recovery mode, I get the following:
--Verfing internal MMC block...
E:internal mmc : open fail
Internal MMC checksum verify failed.
#Manual Mode#
--Appling Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
Can't access to '/system/csc/BMC/system/'.
Successfully applied multi-CSC.
I can wipe the cache partition with no errors.
When I try to wipe data/factory reset, I get the following:
--Wiping data...
Formatting /data..
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache...
Data wipe complete.
But when I reboot, it goes right back to the Samsung screen. After selecting reboot, I get the following:
Failed to format /data (No such file or directory)
E:copy_log_file_to_data can't mount /data
Any advice would be great. I'm new to all this, as I inherited the tab from my hubby when he bought a Transformer pad.
Thanks

could u explain what u did to get to this stage? This seems like a serious problem. Your tab just failed to mount to the internal sdcard. Think of it a computer failing to read the hard drive.

Galaxy Tab 7 SPH-P100 stuck at Samsung logo
I had the same thing happen. Maildroid crashed hard. Tried to get to shutdown, but had to use Power button reset. Rebooted into boot-loop at glowing Samsung logo screen.
I've tried Wipe data/Factory reset.
I've tried Odin reload. Odin thinks it repartitions and restarts. Flashing new image bombs with write failure.
Heimdall fails with usb(something) error -12.
I'm starting to think that the internal flash is bad. If it's not a BGA chip I would consider replacing the part (yes, I can do that sort of thing at home
I'm seriously unhappy that the hardware may be bunged at 1.5 years old.

Funny that I had the same problem yesterday after a bad flash on an ICS rom. I have solved it by flashing the GB-Stock-Safe-v5 from Overcome with Odin.

Hi,
I'm running Cyanogenmod Nightlies on my rooted I9305, but for some reason the device is stuck at boot (Since I woke up, only booting until the samsung logo).
I wasn't flashing a rom, so I don't think Cyanogenmod has anything to do with this.
However, I did install "Hide My Root" not that long ago (I was trying to bypass the rooted-protection from my ISP to watch television; it did not work though).
I was able to boot in recovery (ClockWorkMod v6.0.4.5) and performed a wipe data and wipe cache, but problem remains.
I wanted to do a restore, but found out there wasn't a backup on my external SD card (sdcard1).
Installing a new nightly ends up with this error: set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed. E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/cm-11-20140122-NIGHTLY-i9305.zip (Status 7) Installation aborted.
I did install ODIN, so maybe this could be a way to solve this.
I wanted to check if there was a backup on my internal memory (sdcard), but then I saw I was getting all kind of errors:
When starting Recovery:
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/command
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
When trying to restore from internal memory (sdcard):
E: Can't mount /sdcard
What can I do to fix this problem, considering I'm not sure I still have a backup (I know, rookie mistake!)?
No one knows what to do?
I will wait 24h

Rules we have to wait twenty four hours before replying to you .
So... anyone who knows how to fix this, or who can point me in the right direction? :fingers-crossed:
Possibly wiping cache in recovery will remove those errors shown in recovery but that will not resolve the bootloop. Have you tried a full wipe as there may be something corrupt in the data partition causing the bootloop
I see I forgot to mention it, but I already tried that (cache, dalvik and data). But to no avail.
When I tried to wipe dalvik cache, not much happened.
When wiping cache partition, I'm getting this error: Fomatting /cache | E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p12 | Cache wipe completed.
I also found the PIT file, and downloaded the stock ROM from Sammobile, but running ODIN failed.
Okay, seems like nobody knows the answer... guess I'll have to ship it to Samsung for repair.
Does anyone know a way to remove the "times I flashed a ROM"?
Triangle Away won't work, since I'm not able to boot properly...

Put in download mode then flash a stock rom over it...
@Raistlin1158: In the meantime I already tried to do that, but flashing (anything) with ODIN end up with a "FAIL".
Any clue what might be the problem?
Update your Odin, Also can you do a factory reset ?
@Raistlin1158: I've tried ODIN 3.07 and 3.09, both fail.
I am able to boot in recovery, and I performed a factory reset, but it didn't change anything.
Can you help? Please

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace s5830 which had a problem with the wifi connection. As described on many forums the solution is to root the phone and then enter a code into the phone. It is needed to reload the wifi driver and is explained here:REMOVED.
Needless to say driver loading was unsuccessful after rooting and entering various code combinations. The phone has always been low on space and having recently found how useful link2sd was as well as the possibility to have a custom rom which increases performance I tried this route.
On this page they describe how this could be done on my phone: REMOVED.
I tried following the steps exactly, except that there was never an option to clear dalvic-cache (no advanced settings) on the phones recovery menu. Also, the phone needs the home+start combination to go into recovery, not volume(up)+home+start (which takes one to the quick download I think).
It seemed to go well except that on reboot it didn’t go out of the Samsung logo screen after about 20 minutes. I read that this is too long and thus took out the battery and restarted. This didn’t help and the loop continues.
I thus tried to restore the factory stock rom using odin but every time I set the phone to download mode (volume(down)+home+start) the yellow download text comes up but windows comes up with usb device not recognised. The usb drive worked well before this when I needed to upload the google apps and custom rom file to sdcard as required before upgrading to custom rom. I even tried kies software (also removed kies from tasks when trying odin again so as to not clash).
I also tried various other custom roms to see if this does the trick but every time I go into recovery mode I get the following screen text:
Android system recovery <3e> blablah….
Reboot system now.
Applying update from sdcard
