since your phone doesnt catches network, means you have lost the IMEI. If you dont have a backup only way to get it is service center
Btw, There is no such thing as "Ext4 for froyo" the ext4 in general is used for both Froyo and GB. The problem lies with you not reading instructions and not restoring the data as clearly stated and put in bold by the instructions , Human error, its grand.

bricked i9000 please help as it my only phone

was planning to to get ICS on my galaxy S, so backed up messages \ contacts to my pc.
since clockmod didnt work, as I had 3e bootloader. I got the 2e version.
flashed ICS, got through boot screen, and into first screen where it said something about failed on encryption. the phone restarted and went into main boot screen over and over again.
so I got odin, flashed with with pit, and repartition, wth PDA tar file.
and now it goes through the galaxy S logo (second boot screen). but then it goes blank and it keep vibrating.
if I go into recovery it comes up with error screen: can't mount /dev/block/st110 invalid argument copy_dbdata_media content failed.
I might be using the mismatching pit or PDA files,
please help me out
there is no need for this now, as I found that I could flash the database only without anything else.
this solved the problem
I thinkTHIS file flashed with Odin as PDA , NO pit NO RE-PARTITION solved your problem?
Am I wrong?
indeed that fixed the problem. now that I have ICS running.
I can access data, but I cannot make calls or send messages?
how can I resolve this
cloud you please tell how you fixed that problem ??
Have you done full wipe? Cache+ dalvik etc etc?

I did before this rom, but not for this one, I will give it a try.
it seems that my problem is to do with imei being 004999010640000 which is not the correct one.
dublicate post
Mmm seems that your problem is different than us.
I'm not a dev so I think that best thing right now is to read the post and see if it's a documented bug.
If not the only way I think is to post and ask devs...
Strange the fact that you can surf the web but not make calls.

[Q] Failed to mount efs, repartition failed, internal memory 0.0mb : PLease help

Hi friends ,
I am using Samsung S Advance since last eight month, Till now i have flash more than 300 nightly and custom roms over my mobile and evry time i succeeded, but two days back when i got stuck in omnirom I use ODIN to Flash Stock JB . My Phone Boot After that And got stuck on initial setting wizard everytime i try to pass that it shows
unfortunately samsung setting wizard stopped , so i can not pass that point ,
So i flash stock firmware again and again but everytime same problem
Then I reboot in Recovery which show message " fail to mount efs( invalid argument)
I ignore it and Start Recovery again and root my mobile using update.zip(which is temporary recovery) and then flash cocore kernel And try to restore my backup( I have 6 different rom backup , i tried them all) but every rom got stuck in bootloop .
Then I try to Flash CM10.2 but that also didn't work
Then I Flash some custom rom like sami-os and galexperia which are based on stock firmware and they start working but those roms are freezing a lot, When i try to install any software in those rom they says insufficient memory , I Check storage and it shows
"DEVICE MEMORY 0.00B"
Everytime I reboot all user data get wiped and evrytime setting wizard appear like first boot
I have tried to mount efs, data, ,system via cwm . There is error to mount efs via cwm . I mount data, system successfully but after every reboot they are unmounted.
So Made some search and finally decide to repartition via odin using PIT file given somewhere in this forum but odin shows "fail"
My Friend suggest me to revert back to gb but i couldn't find Indian firmware ( All sites give link to hotfile page which is banned), so i followed post in xda about downgrading from JB to GB and try to flash PIT, PDA , CSC file given by OP via odin but it fails everytime .
So again I flash JB via odin but same result( Got stuck in setting wizard)
So I Tried to root again using update.zip(which i mentioned earlier and which works for me everytime in past) but it switched off during update in recovery so now i can not start cwm now and can use only stock recovery and unable to flash custom rom.
I have Given All Details about how problem start and here is summary of all problems
1. fail to mount efs(invalid argument)
2. 0.0b internal memory
3. unable to repartition using ODIN
4. user data deleted on every boot and boot as first boot
5. can not pass setup wizard in stock firmware after flashing stock via Odin
I think i have messed up with internal memory and which is causing problem or my recovery is damaged.
please give me solution .
If any one have INDIAN GB firmware with pit, csc , pda, bootloader please upload and give link , i searched everywhere no link is working.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I have successfully downgrade to GB and 0.0b internal memory problem is solved , for detail read 7th post
But still FACING " efs error" and unable to upgrade to jb
Every time i flash jb with odin it get stuck in start up in setting wizard with message " process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and then " setting wizard stopped"
please help me to solve this
Any one need to know how i solved my problem of 0.0mb and downgrade GB he can read post and even PM me.

If your phone is I9070 and not I9070P then use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2195673
After that you can use your country GB. We all downgrade this way, and after that use any other firmware.

is your baseband working ok? I had a similar problem when flashing a rom, couldn't get out of setup wizard and also my baseband was XXXX as soon as i fixed the baseband and re-flashed the problem was gone, here is how:
I've flashed modemfs.img.md5 now 3G is working.
On another device (same model and region) I did:
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5
Copied generated file to my sdcard and did:
dd if=/sdcard/modemfs.img.md5 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Reboot and it's done.

[Q] [Help] yellow triangle - cant enter download/recover mode

Hi all,
Yesterday I downgraded my Jellybean to Gingerbread firmware by using this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100642.
The downgrade was a succes, everything worked fine.
The final step of the tutorial siad: 'Note : You can flash Latest Update for your Country by Odin3 v3.07 ( Optional )'. So I searched for the stock firmware of my country and used Odin v3.07 to update. Now at this point the upgrade failed (NAND Write Start) and I get the 'yellow triangle' sign with the message: Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.
I can't get in download or recovery mode.
Odin still connects to my phone.
My question is how can I get my Android back to work :s
Thanks in advance,

Your phone is probably hardbricked. Try to go to service centre.
