I9001 bricked? Please Help! - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys I've got some serious problems with my phone...
Today I wanted to flash the new recovery from ivendor on my brend new PC. Ive installed the "Samsung Driver for mobile phones" because I know that Kies won't work on CM10. Well so far so good. I flashed the new Recovery via ODIN. The phone rebootet normally after that like always. Than back on my Homescreen I was going to settings to do a factory reset including deleting all files from SD card. The phone rebooted again and than everything was going to hell...
Than the Android symbol showed up like always after a full wipe but that time the phone bootet into recovery directly and my recovery shows a lot of errors like E:cant' mount / cache/recovery/log E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p17. And my recovery background has this Android symbol which you can see in that link:

When trying to boot normaly my phone only boots till Samsung galaxy/Cyanogenmod screen and after 10-15 secound it goes off...
Please Help!

Cant help you alot, but try to get stock firmware and then root and flash your rom again. It should help you.

!!!!!!!!!!!
the most important thing:
you have an i9001
dont flash anything that is made for i9000
flash only things that are made for i9001
!!!!!!!!!!!
please try to flash a stable recovery via odin like clockworkmod 5.xyz.
you may find it in the CM9 thread by arco

Greetings & good luck

Thanks guys for your help. I tryed all of that. Even flashing Stock ROM hasn't helped. Phone is bricked : /

does odin detects your i9001 when it shows the screen described in 1st post?
if you could do something with odin and if there are no hardware problems your phone is far away from bricked. (my opinion)
take a look at our wiki. you may find something to reset everything (partitions, bootloaders...)
good luck

well dude u r using s+ right..try flashing it through the recovery mode directly if u can access the card..or take a card reader and mount the cwm recovery and flash that and flash those zip files u want through external sd card..i dont trust odin much..maybe we can figure this out together if u didnt fix it yet.

I have exactly the same problem, no matter what I flash (with Odin/CWM) it no longer boots, and it fails to wipe data partition. Any idea how to repartition de data partition?

It never happend to me but I'll try to help you. I don't know if I'm allowed to put links on this forum but broodplank who is known on this forum for his sgs+ releases has a great tutorial on his site and u might wanna check it out. Google broodplank and acces his website, under the section tutorials you will find what you're looking for.

or look on his xda thread...

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"

so my brother brought me his semi bricked n7000 "btw i searched and googled"
well, yesterday my brother brought me his cellphone which doesn't boot anymore, he wanned to install a custom rom since he saw that i have a fast one (galaxy s I)
so when i asked him what he did , he said he followed all the steps in rootgalaxynoteDOTcom/galaxy-note-roms/kingdroid-ics-rom-v3-0-for-galaxy-note-gt-n7000-best-ics-romtouchwiz-ux/[/url]
but then, his phone didn't boot, so he wiped - reset factory setting, which i read is a BIG NO when you're flashing ICS.
so whats done is done, i am trying to get it back , i can boot in recovery mode/download mode ... i tried out many kernels like AbyssNotekernel42RedTouchCustomLogo or speedmod, and downloaded at least 4 or 5 GB stock roms.
sadly , if odin flash is successful, it stuck on (samsung galaxy note gt-n7000) black srcreen, reboots few times then stays still...
if the odin flash wasn't successful , it keeps stuck on data.img and never goes beyond that .
i did all the steps i could find, wiped data after installed stock GB rom and rebooted, nothing worked
i even used rogue_ET-recoveryonly , and i think it went along format all the way, but still nothing happened after that.
the only thing i haven't tried yet was the repartition + pit file, i couldn't find the PIT , most of the roms have pda/modem/csc ... so if anyone can help out, i would really appreciate it ..
thanks
First thing you should do is check other threads about that around here.
If you can get it into download mode, you could give flashing with Odin a try. If it doesn't get stuck at factory.fs, then you're not superbricked.
If it does get stuck, then you have 2 more hopes:
- HOPE 1
- HOPE 2
If those don't work either...I'm afraid it's off to the Samsung Service center for a shiny new motherboard.
Best of luck to you and hope you get your Note up and running as soon as possible...
thanks, no it doesn't get stuck at factoryfs at all , i did check out most of the threads here, and most of them say "go back to GB with odin and if its stuck on samsung gt-n7000 boot screen just go back with recovery mode and then wipe data / cache " but never worked, so i thought i should ask around here
i'll check out the threads you posted and see what i can come up with
weird, i used the 16gb pit - repartition (check)
and i flashed it with SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS through odin.
and its still the same, the flashing with odin was successful and everything went fine, no hanging , no delays or what so ever. after it restarts its stuck on the black samsung galaxy note gt-n7000 screen
im gonna wipe data / cache again but i doubt that would fix anything.
so any idea what could be wrong? specially when the flashing process went fine?
i've already tried like 4 stock roms ,
arabic uae , europe , saudia and the SGN_XX_OXA_KJ1_FACTORYFS
i wonder if i need to put something in boot space in odin "just a thought"
ive tried downloading roms from here [STOCK ROMS] N7000 All stock ROMs + install + Root guide All at 1place,Latest ICS LQ3
and here [STOCK ODEX PRE ROOTED ROMs] for Odin PC no counter & triangle
any ideas?
For OP:
If you are not stucking while flashing from PC Odin then you are not superbricked.
I think you got corrupted /system or other partition; I saw another thread where OP was getting this sort of hang due to filesystem corruption which can't mount.
Entropy512 gave simple dd command based solution for erasing initial 1MB of partition.
Try searching for corrupted filesystem/partition related information. I can't recall exact thread title, sorry.
I hope this will help.

Should try to install/reinstall samsung usb driver package. or try reinstall Kies also provide drivers for Note.
If driver is install properly: when connect with PC using usb cable it need to be shown under hardware management as something like "android composite adb interface" or something like that.

Also are you trying to connect adb after booting the phone ? Means in a stuck state ? I think you can try enabling ADB thing from CWM rather than trying to boot phone fully.
hmm i can't find an option in CWM that suggests that , still searching
also im trying to find roms that i can install from CWM , are there any GB roms that can be directly installed from CWM ?
thanks.

Hi: I understand he means boot the phone into CWM and then connect to PC in that environment. adb need to be run from PC while the phone is booted into CWM recovery.
Still, most of the custom roms are in the .zip format and can be install using CWM. they just now become a bit more difficult to find since dev move on to ICS/CM9 roms. Still try to find some GB roms in the forum such as: rocket GB, litening GB, xtralite GB....
This is the link for Rocket rom GB. Better try v22 than v23.

Yes, recovery mode is in CWM. (in case you have not done it: Enter recovery by,from phone power off: pressing volumeup + home + power and release power when see samsung letter while still hole the other two buttons.)

hmm. that should be still the problem with usb driver. Have you checked under hardware management if it show the device as "samsung composite adb interface" yet?
kernel should not be the problem with connecting adb. It is the problem with usb driver for Note. Sometime Win7 have problem with driver. You may want to search for another package of samsung usb driver on the web.
I did put some links of GB roms in the post in the previous page. maybe try them first if any luck.
Also try to restart computer to see if the driver issues get solved.
Got to go. Hope that you can solve the problem. GL.

thanks, i restarted my pc , reinstalled kies, and now it shows under device manager
now i connect to the phone through adb , i appreciate you pointing it out
which method you think i should go for 1st? this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
or unzipping a rom and then pushing it all through adb?
i think i'll go for removing and repartitioning manually, hopefully it'll work
thanks again guys , i'll post the updates here,
lol, my brother called me and he's like "if u can't fix it by the end of the night, fk it, dont bother yourself with it" but to be honest, im too stubborn, i hope i can fix it
looks like deleting and adding partitions back through parted kinda work, for the first time i was able to pass the boot screen after i installed rocketrom from CWM
however, its been 1/2 hour since im stuck on rocketrom loading screen it keeps looping and looping.. i wonder if i should wait more.. or should i try another rom?
finally got rid of the verification -.- was kinda annoying thats why i didn't bother editing posts,
anyways, rocketrom didn't work, so i decided to flash a stock rom instead , the flash through odin went fine, it was great to be able to wipe data without getting stuck , however, it keeps going though samsung animation over and over, i think im gonna leave it like this one the charger till morning, i wonder if it'll be the same
guess i have to google for "samsung loop" , i wonder why this keeps happening though -.-
-.- leaving it for 6 hours on samsung logo animation didn't do the trick , still looping when i woke up, so i guess i'll do some more search on why this is happening.
You have checked partitions and see no error that means the problem lies somewhere else, not partitions. I have no idea yet, but for me I would try some different roms. Small roms have more chance to work, that is the feedback I got from some people:
- try check rom in the link I sent
- try paranoid android which is CM9, or asylum
- extralite
cheers.

thanks buddy, i appreciate your help, the partition "USED" to give me error when i did the check 9 10 11 , but after removing the partition and reformatting them (and i also removed the cache partition) now its working fine "i suppose" i didn't do another check, but i might will now that you mention it.
i already tried rocket rom, didn't work, stock rom didn't work, so i'll give the others a try at least it doesn't get stuck on the boot screen, but its stuck on the animation logo which is an improvement
thanks again

[Q] stable custom rom for mini2?

Hi everybody,
sorry for posting this outside the mini 2 forum, but appearently that's a developers reserved forum, so I had no rights to post there.
I would like to ask what is the latest stable custom rom developed for mini2, where to find it and possibly an instruction page.
I had good experience with CM on another galaxy before, so I checked on the the CM website first but mini 2 is not listed there
On the other end I saw a long post on the mini2 developers forum saying that CM10 was actually created, but the post is 91 pages long(!), so forgive me if I didn't read it all. Is it working?
I also checked if there was something like an "in evidence" post with instructions for newbies but couldn't see any, maybe I missed it.
Can someone point me to the right page?
thank you for your held
davide
mm in the meantime I screwed things up. I installed gapps and now it only boots in recovery mode...
why? what shall I do?
please help
thank you
davide
ok, now I'm starting to panic.
why does nobody answer, am I doing something wrong with this post?
I reinstalled the stock rom. I first tried using CWM recovery and selecting install zip file from sd card, but it didn't work: it told me BAD regarding the zip file (downloaded from sammobile), then I succeded using odin. by the way which is the correct method?
However it now seems to start, but I get in loops messages from the setupwizard that says the guided configuration has crashed and also from gapps that Google service Framework has crashed (but should gapps be wiped by the rom flash???).
the problem is that the first of the two keeps restarting and crashing so the phone doesn't do anything else then showing this messages.
please help

After you flash Stock ROM via Odin. Remove battery, put it back. Boot into stock recovery - clear user data & cache and reboot. If the same error occurs try deleting /Android directory(old cache) in your sd card.
thank you for your reply, unfortunately it didn't help.
what do you mean by "stock recovery"? the recovery I see, I believe is CWM which I installed before, but I'm not sure.
anyhow from there I wiped user&cache but I had tried this before and removing teh battery didn't make a difference.
I do not have any /Android directory on my SD card.
it's a simple 4GB fat 32 partition with a single file in it (the zip with stock rom I tried to flash before using odin) and nothing else.
by the way, I used odin3 v.1.83 to flash and I selected the file using PDA button,
but I also have "bootloader", "phone" and "csc" options.
what is the difference?
everything I do makes it more dramatic!
I tried reapeating the whole procedure once again, and odin crashed while flashing teh rom. now it doesn't even boot in download mode, it simply asys to connect kies in recovery mode. but kies never saw my phone in spite of driveres reinstallation, and it is of course not seeing it now!!

you should terminate kies before using odin. You can kill it in task manager, because kies intereferes with ODIN.
You should'nt be concerned with bootloader and the other options. As long as ur downloaded stock has tar.md5 extension you just place it in the PDA section and select Auto reboot and F. Reset time only.
Also You should only disconnect when it says PASS otherwise u will brick ur phone.
When u success fully flash ur stock rom, the chance is it will not get to homescreen
So u remove battery, reinsert it, press and hold HOME button together with POWER button, the phone boots into stock recovery, you choose wipe data and cache, then reboot. (chemicalrage explained this)
If it ain't booting into download mode u should go to service centre.
PS: My advice is to stay away from custom roms until samsung releases jelly bean for mini 2, then better custom roms will be released.

[Q] whats this? i9001 bricked, damaged partition? cant wipe data, do factory reset.

Hi people,
i dont know where to go! i have read dozen of sites and post... am i right here?
my S+ i9001
PDA i9001xxkq7
Phone: i9001xxkpk
csc i9001dbtkp2
can:
boot in download mode
can boot recovery mode
can be flashed via odin
can NOT:
-boot to system (always hang or freeeze or shuts down when Samsung logo comes)
-data can not be wiped (Processbar starts but never really start doing something) CWM6. I had some other recoverys and they gave me some messages like can not accsess data/csc or something like these messages in other posts.
-can not do anything in recoverymode exepted, wipe cache.
-can not update zip
-can not gain accsess to sdcard ore sideby
-cant reboot in recovery.
i flashed with odin (and Aries.ops):
-broodROM_RC5
-the right StockROM
-phone seems to be bricked
-no access with Quickflash (dont know if debug mode was or is enabled)
i found some people with similar problems with other devices (i9000 // i9100), but not with the i9001. so i write it here.
always the answer was try a full wipe/reset, but i cant or dont know how to it when the recoverymod or stock recovery doesnt do it.
kind regards
Daniel

I9001 cant format data and emmc
Update,
i finally got an CWM running! aktually 5.5.0.4 but the 6.0.1 and 6.0.2 alsoworked at the end.
now all i cant do is, formatting data and/or mount/format emmc.
Plugged in via USB Cable to PC i can access (internal) sdcard and copy all zips i want. I also cann install them, but i cant wipe data.
i geuss there is an hardware issue, so that all these fine mods are biting on stone, trying to format the "partition"
This results in unbootable systems..i think
At least i tried cm-9-20130220-EXPERIMENTAL-ariesve-rc5 with kernel 3.00, no luck.
i this hardbricked? damaged? i geuss im close to the final. but wich one.....
last try is this hint :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173180

thanks for reading!

...
tried to reduce the i9001reset.tar.md5 file with repacking it without the cache and system file. but the reset.zip still has 750mb and odin crashes checking the md5.
are there any other methods to check if the data partition or the emmc.ic is damaged? i cant format via CWM or stock recovery, results in endless process...
and Quickflasher also crashed trying to "wipe at start" mmcblk0p17 (data)

yes, i tried but it did not work, neither from stock or custom ROM.
I'm having the exact same problems. It all started when I updated CWM to 6.0.2.8 as recomended by ivendor, in order to flash CM10. Since then I can't wipe data partition, and no matter what I flash (through both Odin and CWM), the phone doesn't boot anymore. Tried to restore original Samsung ROM, no success... Hasn't anyone figure it out? It seems a large number of user have dealt with this issue in the last days, perhaps the coder of CWM 6.0.2.8 should explain how to fix this mess.
I went to a local phone service, and they said they can't do anything, the whole internal memory has to be replaced. I can't believe this.
No solution?
I have exectly the same problem and i tried everything. I still can get to recovery and download mode, because i didnt mess with reseting broken partition. Can this be solved? I didnt find anyhing in threads, and it seems that a lot of people have this kind of problem now. It all happend on my s+ while i was trying to flash CM10 Beta4.

I managed to "rescue" my eMMC-bricked phone by doing everything I could find about the eMMC brick bug killed my i9001. No root but I can live with that until someone comes up with a better fix.. Good luck, I wish I had a better step by step instruction list on how I did it but honestly I just frantically tried things over and over in different order and finally got it going.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234489
I guess...
1. Get TWRP 2.2.2.1 or CWM 5.5.0.4/the new 2.6-based 6.0.2.8 CWM recovery flashed.
2. Use QuickWipe (link in my post to the OP).
3. Use ODIN 4.43 to flash that 1.4GB fixmev2.tar file (I did it at least 2-3 times during different stages)
4. Follow the instructions in the links in my post.
5. Good luck.
6. Wait for the devs to solve this problem permanently with new kernels and ROMs and thank them when they solve it.

status 7 error

hello i've been trying 2 get a new rom for my brother's SGS+
but almost every rom i try (mostly jelly bean and ics roms but also some gb ones) give me n error
when i try 2 install them through recovery mode,
i get error status 7, installation aborted
now i looked for this problem on the internet and it appears there r some solutions found on this link:
http://www.knowtechbetter.com/how-t...ry-cwm-while-installing-flashing-custom-roms/
however i did not understand any of this
i m not new in installing roms and such but i m not very femilier with all these "more complicated" things
i noticed at the comments that the first solution helped someone

i have faemod v1.2 based on cwm 5.0.2.7 ..
and honestly i dont know which threat you are reffering to
Cyanogenmod 10.. There is a link to CWM..
On the wiki page (see the index i made) you can also find CWM and an installation guide.

maybe im doing it wrong but odin doesnt even recognise the file.. and there is no guide there
i did try a odin flashable cwm V6 but its stuck on "setup connection" each time i try..
Le tips:
- Patientce
- Remove and replug device
- Reboot device
- Use another USB port or cable
- Turn kies of (ctrl+alt+del > Taskmanager > Procesess > Terminate anything with KIES in its name)
- Turn AW/FW off
Just flash TWRP and you're good to go

dude im fricking out..
i accidently soft bricked it and now im trying 2 flash it back 2 stock with odin through your guide
but odin recognises my pc recognises the ops file as a text file so odin doesnt even see it...
u gotta help me ;_;
hey man relax... in wiki page you'll find cwm5.5.0.4 flashable zip and you can install it from recovery ( even from stock recovery if i remember corectly)... if you can't acces your phone you can copy it from pc to phone using recovery ( mounts and storage )... if you are stuck in recovery( you're phone boot in recovery only ) you'll need to flash the bootloader using odin.. also you can find the steps and necessary files in wiki and in cm10 by ivendor in firrst post ..Good Luck !!!
1: How did you softbrick it? What did you do, because I thought Odin got stuck??
2: You do see an Phone an ! and a PC?
3: You do have the latest ROM by Samsung and the correct AriesVE.ops?
If yes then we can get started. Follow my guide, when odin gets stuck at System (for a long long time > You know this because the green balk with time gets stuck) unplug device, reboot download again, reboot computer, and try again with BroodROM RC5 (see index)... (BroodROM RC5 is a last resort for our device since it has fixed many softbricked one including mine)

aaaand that's what happens when you start flashing random stuff to your phone without knowing what you actually do...
Ok, I wont tease you or anything, here is what to do:
READ THIS
THIS (all stuff from there, doesn't matter if you don't consider it necessary, you surely will in the future)
After you read all those and understand everything, flash back to stock using @mrjraider tutorial, it's a clear step by step one so follow every step.
Now, the thing is that you'll need CWM Recovery, not FeaMod which is only able to flash GB ROM's.
The most stable CWM recovery is CWM 5.5.0.4 you can find it at the bottom of the OT from this thread
HERE is how to flash CWM with Odin.
Please, pay attention and don't rush things up. And next time you have a problem post in an appropriate thread don't open a new one and especially not in the dev section, see this
Also, no user "gotta help you" you've chose to flash tings to your phone, if you mess it up, it's your own failure and nobody 'MUST' help you... (see this)

i did try using his guide and i folowed it step by step
my only problem is that odin gives me that message i showed in my last post..
also untill i fix this soft brick i cant move on to recovery mode so
i need 2 fix that first..
the guide doesnt show anything related to what im doing wrong..
Someone with brains would have removed odin, and the ops file and redownloaded it again. Also save those on your desktop

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Ace GT - S5830 boot loop and error.

Firstly, I apologize if this is in the wrong spot.
I'll just get to the point.
So about 6 months ago I was using the Galaxy Ace GT-S5830 (Aus) and as it has a terrible internal memory, I decided to root it and try to get some of the unwanted apps off. Worked like a charm, nothing wrong until I had to take the battery out as it froze one time and now I am stuck with a boot loop -.-
I tried looking into trying to fix it like I had in the past but I got frustrated and gave up. Now in current time, I want to try to fix it and get it working again. So I got the stock firmware as well as the latest version of CWM for it and the recommended version of Odin, I get the phone into download mode and then come across an issue where my laptop says that it's connected (while I have Odin up) but is an unrecognizable device. First thing I do is try to factory reset it through the recovery menu but I get the error- E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block.mmcblk0p2
I did a google search on both the boot loop and the error but I can't do anything people have said to do/try as my laptop isn't letting it be a recognizable device
I have done everything I've read in the past and have learned from past experiences but no luck. So what can I do to get the phone to work again?
If anyone can, give the method with pictures as well as I can do it better through pictures rather than reading it and hoping all goes well
Thanks

Try to carry out the sd card, then use odin to flash ROM Stock again;
after that do in recovery stock a factory rest and wipe cache partition.

What do you mean by carry out the sd card? That's all I'm not understanding, sorry.
And I apologise for the lack of reply, haven't had any wifi since I made this post.
remove the sd card and flash the stock rom
I've done that but my laptop just says USB device not recognized and because of that, Odin can't pick up the phone. This is the only issue I'm having now.

It means that your laptop doesn't recognize your Galaxy Ace, try to install usb drivers again.
alternatively, if you are able to go in revovery mode (CWM):
format the sd-card from the laptop; create a new fat32 partition (primary) and copy on it Cyanogenmod 7.2;
inser the card in your ACE and flash it from recovery;
later you can re-install usb driver on laptop and flash stock rom.

Well from what you said above it seems that somethings wrong with the phones internal memory and not the sd-card. If you are having CWM recovery(the latest one) you can do this-
I assume that your phone is rooted and with CWM installed.
Download any custom rom
Boot into CWM.
Select wipe data reset and you ll see an option saying 'clean wipe to install a new rom' (something like this)
Install zip from sdcard and select the downloaded rom.
Report back if any problem.
All the best.

I've done the custom ROM part, I used Cyanogenmod 7.2 as daniga74 suggested.
But I'm still getting this error message when I tried to wipe data/factory reset in the CWM recovery menu: E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block.mmcblk0p2
Here's a picture of it.
I apologize for it being rotated, the original picture isn't.

Maybe your internal partitions are corrupted, try to flash a fresh STOCK rom via Odin and start again (Root+CWM5.0.2.6+Custom ROM)

Before flash CM 7.2, try to format system and data partition from CWM (advanced menu);
if the operation was successfully flash the rom.

The error says "It fails to format sdext". Because, you don't have a sdext partition. Don't worry about it. It is normal.

USB not recognized
are you using Win 8 or 8.1 on your laptop? Because win 8 / 8.1 cant work with samsung driver for s5830 via Odin. You must try it on older OS like win 7 to flash stock ROM.
Late reply/update
Sorry about the reply, haven't had much time to check on this as I've been moving and now have to use public wifi -.-
I have seemed to be able to get the Cyanogenmod to work and act as an OS for now, it's not what I was hoping for but it's letting me use the phone for now and that's good enough for me. Will have to properly flash it when I get the chance to and when I have a Win 7 computer to use, thank you gaineeg for pointing that out. It now makes more sense as to why it never picked up on my laptop (Win 8.1) but it did on my dads computer (Win 7).

Well if your laptop doesnt recognize the device you will need to install the latest drivers of samsung device drivers. And then manually update device drivers from unknown device to adb sooner device. Then try flashing using odin.
