Would be great if you tried to explain what you tried to do with odin anyway.
what rom you tried to install?

Who says?
Which Rom are you trying to use and what are you coming from?
If flashing ODIN for JVU Rom :
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and put in your files for : CSC, PDA, MODEM.
Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Attach Phone
When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom for example as thats what we are using here
Click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted *File is included in ODIN Files*
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Phone Cable
Close ODIN
Let phone boot up ....
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Before doing this make sure you have what you need from the phone as it will ERASE everything!
Enable USB Debugging by going to Settings > Applications > Development > Check USB Debugging
Plug in Phone and copy over your chosen Custom ROM that you want
Reboot into Recovery : VOL UP + MENU + POWER
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
If not you choose these by using the left side keys on the phone and to apply changes click Menu key
WIPE : data/factory reset > cache partition
Scroll down and go to advanced
Dalvik Cache > Battery stats
Go Back
Install ZIP (ROM) from Zip Card
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Hope this helps a lot of people if not just ask here if you are still having issues to save peole posting same questions again and again

I made up the first part, but after the phone went into recovery mode
The screen shows the following:
installin update ...

e: failed to mount / sdcard (file exists)
e: copy_dbdata_media: cant mount / sdcard your storage not prepared yet. please use meny VI for format and reboot actions.

Flash dbdata.rfs as PDA in Odin 1.85. Reboot. Congratulate yourself.

Helpppp
I have exactly the same problem. I had froyo 2.2 im new to this odin all these settings. Yesterday i was tried rooting my phone and I did. but after I mounted a courrupted rom from the recovery. and my android doesn't want to load. I followed the same instructions you just gave him. on these posts but now when i turn on the phone its the logo comes and nothing loads. Only Downloading VOL DWN + MENU + PW is working.

Are you talking to me devildrake? No, your problem is different and you need to flash the rom again too, not just dbdata lol. Do this.
Flash Gingerbread, in Odin (I always used JW4 but JVU will be fine) with 512 pit file and repartition checked. Untick reboot. Once its finished, unplug the USB cable and take the battery out. Put the battery back in and boot into download mode. Reset Odin. USB cable back in. Tick reboot again. Put dbdata.rfs in PDA. Flash.
Should boot into gingerbread. I've done this a LOT of times... Then you can go back to Odin and root.
If that doesn't work then I'd download a different version of GB, download new 512 pit, and download a new dbdata.rfs. Must be one of those corrupt.

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 .
You said
i used i9000 to download software with wifi
because the battey was low , so it turned off~
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)
(invalid argument)"
also it shows "Error mounting /mnt/sdcard/ android_secure!
Skipping format..."
Check and click PHONE and select I9000XXJPU-REV03-PDA-low-CL747761.tar.md5
Should that not be MODEM_I9000XXJPU.tar.md5
Ignore it if i am wrong .

To all who run into Odin problem:
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

[Q] Please your help!

Please , I need your help!
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 7'' after downgrade from 4.0.4 Ice cream sandwich to 2.4.3 Gingerbread version of android stuck on samsung logo and I see the below message during the flashing:
-Updating application
E:Failed to mount /data (Invalid argument)
E: install_application_for customer: Can't mount /data
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Copy application failed.
What is the UI menu and how using it I can format and reboot my tablet?
The proccess that I used is:
1.open odin , check the checkboxes Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time and put the .pit file on the PIT site and the .md5 on the PDA site and press start to begin the flashing after you put the tablet on the download mode (pressing together volume down and power buttons)
2.after flashing put your tablet again in download mode and this time check only Auto-Reboot and F. Reset Time and put the dbdata folder in PDA site and press again start.
3.After the second flashing put your tablet on Recovery mode (Pressing volume up and power buttons together) and choose first wipe cache and second wipe data factory reset ,choose yes to the question and choose Reboot to finish the process of flashing.
The above error message appears before the second step of this guide and as I told you before after flashing the tablet stays stack to samsung logo screen and doesn't go to the welcome screen.
If I delete all data of my tablet, can I reinstall them again, following the above guide with steps?
If yes, what is the tool to do this?
I found the solution by myself.
The solution is so easy.
As I told us before, I was remembering that when I had the same problem I had download from the internet a file and when I flashing my tab everything were done.
Searching I discover this file.
This file is: GT-P1000-CSC-SERJJ2.tar.
When you put this on the PDA site and flash your tab everything will be fine and your tab will unstuck from samsung logo screen and to go to the welcome screen to make your settings.

Ok firstly the link you put up isnt found...
Use ODIN with PIT File
PIT File Incase you need it : LINK
Open Odin and select 512 .PIT, and CSC, PDA, MODEM-files. Check Re-partition and don't touch any other settings.
Turn off your phone and put it in download mode by holding VOL DOWN+MENU+POWER.
Then just flash the phone with your ROM of choice.
Any issues let me know

When you have all the files needed in ODIN, say JVU Rom click Start let it Run
Once complete you will see S logo on phone
Unplug Phone > Let it power up then Power Off > Again into Download mode
Then plug in Phone
Click Reset on ODIN then in PDA put in CF-Root Kernel File for JVU to be Rooted (CF-ROOT HERE)
Same again when you see S Logo on Phone unplug Cable
Close ODIN
What I do now is go into
Settings > SD Card and Storage > Unmount SD and Wipe that and then at the bottom Wipe Format USB Storage
Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone copy over your ROM
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)

So you want stock 2.3.6 GB Rom am I right?
If so then do the following HERE except the Root if you wish
If you want to upgrade to a later firmware (For example JW6 - If it has only one .tar file),
Go to Download Mode again select the file under PDA.
DO NOT select the PIT, BOOTLOADER, PHONE, CSC files.
DO NOT check 'Re-Partition'.
Press the START button.
Hope this post helped you
I did same as u said but when every things done odin shown its passed but when its reboot its shows s animation n auto reboot again n again . i also wipe data n factory reset but same .

Now, what I do now is go into :

Enable USB Debugging > Plug in Phone
Window should open up showing your phone Directory..
Copy over your ROM that you want
Shut Down Phone
Reboot into Recovery (Vol UP - Menu - Power)
Wipe the 4 things (probably know these... you should do)
Data / Factory Reset
Cache Partition
Go to Advanced > OK
Dalvik Cache
Battery Stats
Go Back > OK
To move Up or Down > Use the Left Side Volume Rocker Switches with Menu to OK Action
Install your Custom ROM from Zip Card that you want...
Reboot Phone when complete... DONE!
Please Check APN Settings.. for your area after you have done the following steps to give better signal
Sometimes Authentication Type is set to Default..try it at PAP and then Reboot Phone
As some ROMS APN settings are done manually for the user.. so be careful
Rom I am currently using : Blue SAUROM JWB
Hope this helps out a few people as there are quite a few posts opening up with the same problems or issues :good:

Procedure To Update Samsung Galaxy S With Cyanogenmod 10
Device must be running latest Gingerbread 2.3.6 with ROOT to begin .....
Remove KIES completely from Phone and reboot Computer then Install latest Samsung USB Drivers then Reboot Computer...
Ensure that your phone battery is at least 85 percent charged
Cyanogenmod 10 Download
Download Google Apps (Optional)
Connect your device to PC by using the cable.
Enable mass storage mode on it.
Now transfer / copy all the 2 files to your device’s internal SD card.
Ensure that you are not keeping it in deep directory.
Now disconnect the phone from computer.
You then need to enter into recovery mode.
To do so, switch off the device completely, press & hold Volume Up button + Home Button + Power key until recovery mode appears.
After entering into recovery mode, select “install zip from sdcard” & then “choose zip from sdcard“.
Navigate to the ROM file (which you’ve transferred earlier)
Select it & press on ‘Yes‘ to continue. ROM installation process will start.
Wait for the ROM to get installed.
After ROM gets successfully installed, your phone will land in the recovery mode again.
Now select wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition to wipe all the data & caches from the phone memory.
The same procedure you have to do for installation Google Apps. (Just don’t do the above step i.e, don’t wipe the data after installations of Gapps).
After installaing both things, now press back button to land in recovery mode.
Select reboot system now from the Recovery mode to Restart the phone.
Usually first boot of the phone takes some time after flashing of new ROM so be patient....
Done!
Issues if you have any :
LOW STORAGE NOTIFICATION : HERE or See this LINK
If the above doesnt help TRY THIS APP
NO MOBILE DATA :
Toggle Flight mode ON/OFF
IMEI Issue :
Flash a stock version of Android for your device: GB 2.3.6 (JVU, or other) that will restore your IMEI
Then you can backup the /EFS folder.
NO 3G AVAILABLE :
The CSC you used is most likely not intended for your area.
This means that the broadband provider settings are not included and
need to be configured manually.
Go to : Settings->Wireless and Networks->Mobile Networks->Access Point Names, press the settings-button and select "New APN"

HI,
thank you for this huge How to!
I have big trouble to update my Device.
It is not possible to get in the download mode. I tried SDFormatter, it crashes every time i connect SI, Samsungs Ex. HDD Formater runs but no effects on the Phone. Odin cant flash anything (maybe of course of download modus).
What do you recommend?
Sys:
WIN XP Pro SP3, Samsung Driver, Kies
Samsung SI, Android 2.3, Vodafone (Germany) Branding, No Simlock, SIM insert (E-Puls, Provider), No Ex SD Card, original Samsung USB-Cable
What are you trying to update to?
Using the Format tool try with USB Debugging ON
>
Uninstall Kies and reboot machine
Use my HOW TO Files ...
Install Samsung USB Drivers to install then reboot computer again..
Open ODIN and Check Re-Partition and put in PIT File
Make sure all 3 are ticked...
Also put in PDA / Modem / CSC press start when phone is connected via Download MODE
Press start....
Then just follow the rest to Root it...
Let me know if this helps
If you are wanting to go to CM 10 or JB Kies is no use anyway...no one uses KIES anymore
Thanks a lot. I pressed volume +... That was my fault.
Now runs CM 10.1 Nighlty with Helly Bean!
Tnak you

Re: [HOW TO GUIDE] ★ Flashing Rom with JVU before Custom ROM + EXTRAS ★
Thanks for the amazingly helpful thread. I had spent amazing amounts of time looking for a JVU bootloader an could not find it. Now i don't need to as your GB odin files fulfilled all my needs.
Now to test out whether your section on drivers will solve my issues of connecting post GB ROMd phone to my computer.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Your welcome, if you dont need Kies in your computer get rid of it ....
Reboot computer afterwards then Install the Samsung USB Drivers and reboot PC again to take affect....
If Phone doesnt recognise follow the Tutorial on the link if USB not Recognised
Random thought .......Life is so good!
