hi,
thanks for reply. I have proceeded exactly:
1- Flash Abyssnote Kernel - Latest Version
2- Format sdcard to ntfs in windows and plug it to phone.
3- Power on phone and GNote will recognize ntfs formatted sdcard as blank sd.
4- Download ntfs-3g.zip from attachment...
4- Extract zip and copy " ntfs-3g " to /system/bin/
5- Reboot
6- Install Terminal Emulator from market.
7- Enter these lines in terminal emulator:
su
chmod 755 /system/bin/ntfs-3g
insmod /lib/modules/fuse.ko
ntfs-3g /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /mnt/sdcard/external_sd
vold
I can read/write from/to card, but when i want connect phone to PC as masstorage, nothing happend...

Dead eMMC, boot loop, SD mounting problem

My i9000 went to bootloop and stuck on repeatition of galaxy s logo and after flashing many roms from odin it shows error sothing like (not exactly remember) the below given :
E:failed to mount /data (No such file or directory)
--Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_cache_media:Can't mount /sdcard

E:format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3
formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /cache
and I never got out of boot loop untill I downloaded the XXJVU modified files from the below thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1893354
The ROM files in the above link are the only way available right now to flash for me. I can't even root this.
In this thread, sesetxu, a user of xda, modified the zimage and repacked XXJVU which made my phone turn on (I partitioned my microSD card to make this work). But neither I am able to root my phone, nor my camera works ("turn off usb storage to use camera") and also gallery is not usable as it shows("no SD card detected").When I go to 'SD card and phone storage' under 'settings' in my i9000, only system memory is available (showing around 1.87GB) while usb storage and SD card are showing unavailable.
I have read many threads regarding this, most of them indicate to edit vold.fstab file. But as my phone is not rooted, I can't edit it.
Also I am not able to mount my SD card by flashing any recovery and not able to use it in recovey.
Can you please help me bring out of this problem?
Help will be appreciated If someone make a Rooted kernel of any rom, which install OS directly on the SD card and makes my external SD card accessible (Coz I know my internal SD is dead)
THANKS in advance!

I got the same problem as yours but the difference is I'm getting "E:format_volume:rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2" instead you've mentioned. The only solution I did is to manually take out the internal sdcard by disassembling the phone and dismount the chip with Sandisk printed on it. Then use an sdcard at least 8gb, format it using linux, first primary partition is fat32, second primary partition is reiserfs. Mount the external sdcard, flash stock gb rom then root it.

Short guide how to recover your I9000 with dead eMMC:
1. Create two FAT32 partitions on SD card, the first one will be used as internal sd card, the second one will be used as internal phone memory (/data)
2. Download XXJVT ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
3. Use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1152740 to add root acces, but stop after steep 5.
4. Find all occurences of mmcblk0 in extracted text files (do not touch binaries)
5. Replace mmcblk0 with mmcblk1, so your /sdcard will be mapped to first partion on device mmcblk1 and your /data will be mapped to second partiotion on mmcblk1.
6. Recompile and tar kernel.
7. Flash XXJVT ROM using Odin (512 layout, propably repartitioning is needed)
8. Reboot phone
9. If you encounter Can't mount /dev/block/stl10 error after reboot, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2184403
10. Flash your custom kernel using odin (PDA)
11. Enter bootloader and wipe all data/factory reset
12. After reboot your phone will have /data partition mounted on SDCard, and will be rooted, so you will be able to install Superuser and root browser from market.
13. The last step is to change vold.fstab to mount /sdcard from first partition from s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host_mmc2 and to mount external_sd from third partition from s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host_mmc2. It's not a mistake, we have to mount external_sd from not existing partition/device.
14. Now your phone should show that there is no SDCard inserterd, your internal usb memory should be equal to size of your first partion, and your phone memory should be equal to size of your second partition.

(MultiCSC: CPW, DBT, KOR, XEO, XEU)" because I need Polish language support. Unfortunatelly I don't know which one will be best for Italy.

I solved the problem long time ago. If you have SGS with dead emmc and could not find any Solution then PM me, I will send you my odin flash able rom

Hello All,
I followed the link Rohit provided in Spanish. I was able to get the Rom V 1.3.2 going on my i9000.
Due to language barries I failed to move to CM10 or if possible, to the latest nighly builds of CM11.
Could anybody point me to some advice in english how to migrate to CM11?

I sold my i9000 long time ago. But if you stil wanna install CM10/CM11 you have to just edit the vold.fstab file in root of your storage. You can find the instructions in the same forum or search on xda. However, You can open the spanish page in Google chrome and translate in english and you can understand easily.
Here is the translated page for you. Dont forget to hit the thanks button(only if you feel I have helped you)

You do not have to format user data partition (internal sdcard.).
Alternatively you can use adb to push your files to the phone.
http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/42332/push-a-rom-to-galaxy-s3-d2att-while-in-twrp-cwm
If you have a Linux, actually Ubuntu installation, everything is much simpler in this regard. You don't have to install any drivers, only android-tools-adb and the phone mounts automatically IIRC. So it is sufficient to type 'adb push yourzip /sdcard' without ''.
Edit:
I am sorry, forgot what I said about adb. That is only possible, if one has the working ROM. For some other phones, Nexus on the first place, it could be possible to do the same and even flash the ROM with fastboot, but not here...

[Q] Bricked/bootloop/no -recovery/ odin cant read file error, HELP?

Hi,
Ive been trying to get this phone working for about 2 days straight now. Tried all kinds of flash methods and so on.
But as of now, im officially stuck, and i dont know what to do.
I have this SGS i9000 with almost certain a broken internal SD (not sure, this is what i have tried to fix by flashing different roms/bootloaders/pit files,U name it)
I'm now at a point that only download mode is available and when trying to acces any recovery (original or CWM) i get the nice brick screen(phone --- ! ---- pc picuture)
Any Help would be apreciated.
Sorry for my bad english, im from Holland.
I don't know the original firmware or anything, i got this phone with bootloop error from a friend.
Thank you for all your help...
[EDIT1]
I am able to enter the Original recovery now, but a lot of errors are on the screen:
Do note that, there is NO simcard and NO External SD-Card in the phone present!
The errors in normal recovery are:
- e:failed to mount /data (file exists)
- e:delete_data_files: cant mount /data your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
Updating filesystem...

when you get this (phone --- ! ---- pc picuture), you need to re-flash the correct kernel or correct ROM as its stuck in incomplete flashing.
when you get this cant mount /data your storage not prepared yet you may have mp3/junk file stuck in data and causing the issue, so remove Ext SD card, remove sim card before flashing dbdata.rfs file from here
IF that did not resolve it , flash a rescue kit from above link used for unbricking. i9000
Important
make sure your unit is i9000 and not a variant of i9000
charge your phone fully before flashing

Thank you for your reply,
I checked via Imei number what type of i9000 it is and its a i9000.
The phone is without a sim and external sd card.
As of this point a flashed other stuff and i now get failed to mount sdcard (file exists)
copy dbdata media: cant mount sdcard
please use ui.. bla bla...
media files copy failed.
Apllying Multi CSC
Cant acces system csc/kor/system.
Succesfully applied multi csc.
Is there a way to figure out what the correct rom should be? or is there like any 'universal' rom that would work on all i9000 phones?
I read your rescue page, and tried the one click jar file inside your resque kit and also via Odin but still i keep getting errors.
The original problem (when i first got the phone) is a couple of bootloops and eventually it would boot into android.
Whipe of data and cache would solve the problem but it got worse and eventually it resulted into a bootloop from which he booted into android after about an hour or so...
I though i had the right kernel/rom.. and so on...
I did flash a speedymod kernel which booted right into android and with sdcard function.
But it would give errors and bootloop and crash diverse apps (system apps)
I have rooted diverse types of phones before so i am not a complete noob in this area...
Any help on how to continue?
Thnx
[EDIT1]
After flashing dbdata i still keep the same error.
The rescue kit from ebase the download link of the pdf isn''t working.
Any help on that?
I will try all rescue kits available...
and let u know what it does(little hope but)
[EDIT2]
EZBase rescue kit gave me the following errors:
failed to mount sdcard (file exists)
copy dbdatamedia cant mount sdcard
please us ui bla bla bla
format volume rfs format failed on dev block mmcblk0p2
data whipe failed
Multi CSC
Cant acces /system csc kor system
Trying the other EZBASE reqovery now (CF-root and Semphore)
[EDIT3]
Same as in edit 2
[EDIT4]
Gbflashkit gives the following result,
media files copy failed (unable to read above that because normal recovery menu is displayed on top of it)
failed to mount data (file exists)
delete data files cant mount data
please use UI bla bla bla
Updating file system goes correct
wiping cache
formatting cache
cache wipe failed
applying multi csc goes correct!
I already tried de SGS resque kit but it also failed...
Any help ?
[EDIT5]
Did a whipe cache partiton and data/fact reset...
Now when booting into normal rescue i get this:
Copy media files
failed to mount /sdcard (file existst)
copy dbdata media cant mount sdcard

this would be the clue as to one of the problem you may be having, basically at some point the phone must have been formatted to ext 4, as such samsung Stock rom will not be able to use it .
The solution here would be to flash a speedmod kernel for 19000 ( look in My Android collections ( link below) under kernels and flash that to get CWM, untick Auto reboot in Odin before flashing after that get into CWM recovery and format system & Data or everything back to RFS using CWM universal lag fix menu.
you can also look at My android solutions (link below) for solving mmcblk0p2 problems

Basically this means your Internal SD card is corrupt , you can try ADB whilst in Recovery to see if you can pull anything from your internal SD card. Look in MY Directory (link Below) about ADB, if you are not familiar about ADB
or you can push a custom ROM into it to flash with CWM
The other option to get phone booting would be to use a two primary partitioned External SD card to act as the Internal SD card.

Ive tried a lot of stuff but adb won't recognise my phone...
I don't get an android device listed in my hardware devices list... only under usb devices it will say a composite usb device...
Even tried a other pc (which is fresh) but no luck either.. when i put my own phone on the same usb cable it recongises it straight away.
So no probs with usb cable/pc.
Any help? external SD-card option, not an option in this case...
Any other thoughts?
thnx for all the help!

What i've done was flashing him to stock ROM (Froyo 2.2.1) following this toturial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647890 everything went good during flashing.

I need some help 'cause i dont know what i should do right now.
This are the errors in the recovery menu:

With PIT files, the internal SD card needs to be re-formatted. If it fails in the recovery, you need to format it with your PC.

Thank you very much for your answer. Can you please tell me how can I format the internal SD card via computer? Because the phone wont boot so the computer can't format the internal via windows. Do I need to use some program to format the phone while he is in Download Mode or something? If Yes wich one and how?

Can your phone go into download mode? If yes, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs via ODIN unda PDA. If recovery prompts for cache, you will need to flash cache.rfs in the same way. (Odin only accepts .tar files but I've attached all of the files you need).
For more help, ask for help in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308 . There is a guy who is experiencing exactly the same problem but his phone is completely stuffed. Give my method a chance anyway.
