So hey all,
Recently my Galaxy just stopped working. At home I tried to install new firmware. Then I got a lot of errors.
This is what I get when I go in my Recovery Mode:
-- Copying media files
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File Exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.
Meida files copy failed.

When I install new firmware I get errors the same like this.
Now I have tried to install all firmwares (from 2.2.1 to 2.3.6) and nothing works.
I had my Galaxy running on a costum ROM (I don't remember the name, it was something with Ario).
What to do? I'm quite lost..

Check My Android Solutions as to what may work for you
I had the same problem. My internal memory card was broken. I have received my repaired phone from Samsung service centre 2 days ago.

solutions for /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 or /mmcblk0p1 or /mmcblk0p0 are all never the same, it all depends on as to what caused the format failure .
You can try flashing the same ROM twice or more with different PIT ( i9000 has 3 PIT files)
But if the problem was caused by Lagfix, which you had failed to undo before a factory reset or upgrade...than your Internal SD card needs to be reformatted back to rfs.(vfat) ..which is why the stock ROM fails to solve the problem as your current format is in ext 4.
So nothing will work, IF your internal SD card had been converted to Ext 4 format, until you find a way to format it back to vfat.
For Korean version of Galaxy S , flashing an Eclair will solve all problems except this lagfix problem. So you can try the Eclair for i9000 at My Android Collections
Suggest you try to format your Internal SD card ( remove ext SD card and Sim Card) , before trying any ROMS

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

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)

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)

please use UI bla bla bla
Updating file system goes correct
wiping cache

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

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

I am now on the speedmod kernel but when trying to revert to rfs i get the following errors:
Reboot into cwm recovery
go to advanced speedmod menu
do convert filesystems to RFS
cant mount dev block mmcblk0p1 or mmcblk0
no such file or directory
cant mount mnt sdcard
backup failed.
you may need more free space on int sd
aborting
In win7 in the disk module i can see a e and g drive but it says no media .. so im unable to do anything about it.
also on CMW recovery i can get into the mount USB storage menu, but the pc won''t show anything except the e and g drive with no media...

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!

Your SDK manager must have installed sources for your Android version to be able to run ADB and recognize the phone. Did you do it?

At the moment im able to get a bit further with adb.. only when my phone is in recovery it says in adb device offline...
Any ideas on howto proceed?
In android system recovery i get the following errors:
failed to mount sdcard (file existst)
copy dbdata media cant mount sdcard
the rest seems to work.. but the phone stays in bootloop.
Whiping / clearing doesn;t help.
I tried flashing a lot of stuff, currently im on darky rom ressurection 10.2
Somebody have any idea on howto proceed?
I had installed the Miui v5 rom from a 2.3.6 gb base.
followed the instructions in the OP.
i installed the 3.11.22 version. it was good and perfect for a couple of days.
but then i don't know what got into it. it gave me hot reboots and right now i'm stuck at the loading launcher screen. whenever i boot that's what i get. for a few seconds it says loading launcher and then it reboots again.
this is an infinite loop.
i tried installing Slim rom and PA. but after i installed them, i still get the miui boot animation and then it stops right there not going further.
i tried flash stock rom. 2.3.6 going back. the flashing went well. but i don't get into the stock rom. phone bootloops. Although i did get an error after flashing. in the recovery it said: "E:can't mount /data (invalid argument)"
that's the error i got. i was able to get into download mode again. did the flashing process multiple times i got tired. trying different solutions.
I was able to flash cwm. and install MIUI again. this time i got thankfully i got past the boot animation of miui and now i'm back to square one. the same loading launcher screen added up with an imei error and an immediate reboot.
If anyone out there can help me or tell me what's really going on. i would very much appreciate it.
Thank you.

Try wipe data/ factory reset in CWM/ TWRP, I had similar problem, but after formatting data, data was mounted but not before.

i flashed dbdata.rfs too
but that error never seems to be fixed.
It shows up after i flash 2.3.6 through odin and the phone reboots to complete the setup.
The setup is interrupted by that error.
hence i can't complete the 2.3.6 setup.
I tried wiping data/ factory reset. through CWM as well as the phone's default recovery.

when downgrading from a Custom ROM to the Stock ROM , you need to use a PIT file, so follow this guide and flash the Gingerbread as guided or flash a rescue kit.
when you get errors and want help, its wiser to take a scree shot and attach with your post or at least write down all the details of that error as it appears on your screen.

First remove your Ext SD card and Sim Card and press power button for a min before proceeding to boot phone and check
I think you need to flash a few more times, but a lower version of ROM, following same process to downgrade to Froyo 2.2 JPU for Odin3
if it fails to boot, than its best to flash a CWM recovery to format your data back to rfs (fat32) as it may be in ext 4 format now. This can be done on froyo or Gingerbread ( look at guide for rooting on the same link given earlier)
Check this out! Links to useful Guides and " Banned " Documentaries
Remove ext SD...done
Remove sim...done..
flashed JPU from the link you gave. with the 512 pit file.
flashed pit first seperately. left the phone turned of for about a minute and then flashed jpu without re-partition.
right now i get a new error.
this is what i get:
i formatted internal sd card from 2.2 froyo's recovery. as well as data and caches.
should i try i from CWM?
as you mentioned earlier about data being in ext4. i flashed Slimkat. it asked for confirmation about data being formatted. can that be the problem?

yup, that would be the issue, as it means you have changed the data partition to ext 4, and stock ROM's won't be able to use it. here since you are on the froyo you can flash the speedmod kernel to get CWM and reformat the /data partition back to rfs format, after which you can flash the stock ROM again.
Hopefully you have taken a nandroid backup , if not you can make one before you reformat, such that you can salvage your data later or in CWM you can mount USB storage to copy the entire SD card to your PC first before you start formatting.

xsenman,
after flashing speedmod kernel. my phone stopped bootlooping. and went past setup. now i'm able to use stock rom 2.2. i'm surprised, that i didn't have to reformat.
Thanks very much, i owe you a beer bro. you helped me bring life back to my phone :good:
I would like to have your opinion about how i should proceed. installing the latest custom rom like slimkat. if that really did mess up my data what should i do?
i haven't formatted through cwm yet. should i format it still? as i'm able to boot and get in properly?
thanks so much again. in a way i'm glad i got this problem as much as i'm relieved that i could solve it. In the process i read a lot and gained knowledge.

well basically, the reason why I recommend speedmod (for format and SD card switch) is its capable of reading both rfs and ext 4 . so its working for you here without reformat.
My suggestion would be you remember to always remove any scripts, MOD's etc used for customizing before flashing any stock ROM on it, or stick to the customized ROM, here you are lucky in the sense that it is only data, if system was changed, it would be much more difficult.
Before you proceed further, take precautions like
1) Nandroid backup...that you can restore using current configuration ( froyo with speedmod)
2) efs backup
3) anything else that you need to safe to your PC
After that you can try slimkat, if that's your ultimate choice, without reformatting.

i formatted everything except /boot through speedmod kernel.
and then flash 2.3.6 the files which you gave me before.
and i experienced the same problem with the same errors.
i went back to 2.2 repeating the same steps to solve it temporarily.
Is there any explanation for it?
i'm confused .

you need to find out in what format your partitions are in
you can use terminal emulator and type "mount" to to see, in what format is your system, data etc are currently in or install this app from play store to get details of your mount points and its current format .
The problem could be due to speedmod was unable to format it due to corrupt partition or unknown partition. The issue here is Samsung Stock ROM's will only function when all partitions are in rfs format ( fat 32) . But speedmod kernel can function on both rfs and ext 4 formats.

OK try this, try to flash a Jelly Bean 4.3 or Kit Kat 4.4 on it, the partitions layout on this versions will be changed, so if you have corrupt partition, it may get overwritten or skipped. Hopefully

i think my internal storage is dying
my internal sd card gets detected at times in recovery..and other times it doesn't.
even to boot into recovery i need to try multiple times. to get in.
When i try to install any 4.3 or 4.4 rom i get an installation aborted error. there was nothing wrong with the package i downloaded too
In froyo,
my gallery shows images at times...and sometimes it doesn't. it gets fixed usually after only a reboot or so....
and i can't install apps too..

No Harm in trying anything and everything, its also possible the Internal SD card may not be be firmly in contact, ( basically its glued to the board) needs reheating the inand chip, look in [Tutorial][A.I.O Rescue & Recovery] My Secure Digital (SD card) Storage
and vold fstab can be edited or SD cards can be switched by a init-D script or even a kernel , look in [MOD][SD card switching] Vold.fstab files modified versions for Galaxy series (depends on ROM) as you can rely totally on External SD card and (remove Internal Sd card)

Hi guys, i haven't seen mention of similar problem anywhere on forums so got to ask you.
After updating from cm10.2 to cm11 monthly2 on i9000, there is no sdcard or internal memory mount in /storage/ or /mnt/. /storage/sdcard0 and sdcard1 are both empty. I can however mount internal memor in CWM recovery and see all the files there.
I will be extremely grateful if anybody can help me. Thanks.

look here and check, if you did do all the wipes, before flashing to CM 11

after flashing cm11m2 I booted without full wipe and had a bootloop, then i rebooted and made wipe/factory reset and cache wipe, then reflashed cm11m2 again.
//EDITED:
The problem is very weird. Internal memory started to work properly but external sd card has to be removed during the boot. CWM is also unable to mount external sd while mounting internal memory works fine.

strange issue, so go here and flash a CM11 Nightly to see if it solves it, if not, you may have to revert back to gingerbread and than climb up the ladder to Kit Kat again
Edit> when its only External, the issue is a known one and workaround is to use Mounts in recovery

Hey I have the same problem! I cant open my internal sdcard, so I cant open camera ( Please mount your sdcard). In settings I dont see sdcard at all and when i try to mount i got "Your sdcard is unmounted". In recovery mode I see my sdcard0 with all files, so i dont understand what is going on...
I have installed TWR,
wipe cache, data and Dalvik
flash cm11 and gapps
reboot
Have i missed something?
I read something about wipe sdcard before flashing cm11, but how it can be possible if I have cm11.zip there?
anyone?

you can flash zip from your external Sd card or start from the beginning , get back to gingerbread, make sure everything is working than upgrade to kit kat follow this [Tutorial] How to Unbrick, Flash, Downgrade, Root, Update i9000 from Froyo to Kit Kat

I cant mount external sdcard while I am in recovery mode. I'm using TWRP and it doesnt work. I tried flash cm10 and internal sdcard works fine ...
i also have this problem!
Hello friends, I got my SGS(GT-I9000) 3 years back and love this phone a lot since it was my first. I've changed a lot of roms from time to time but this last rom i flashed was MIUI. After i flashed it, it goes into recovery mode and over there i saw a few errors which i tried fixing and never found a solution. Before i flashed MIUI i was running Slim Rom v4.3. Since i was desperate i took it to the Samsung's Service Center and they told me i gotta change my Logic or Mother Board which was around 105$ or something. I decided to try something before i bid farewell to this awesome phone. After i got it back from the Service Center i noticed in the Recovery Mode there were more errors than before.
I've attached a pic of these errors. I tried flashing stock and various other roms but no luck. Is the phone gone for good? or is it fixable?

two Q.s
1) After you got back you have more issues? what was the initial issue, if you can recall?
2) How do you get formatting ( in Picture) by just entering recovery? remove Ext SD card & SIM , same result by powering on?

Initially, I was getting 4 errors :
E: copy_dbdata_media: format SDCARD:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)
E: copy_dbdata_media : Can't mount SDCARD : copy default media content failed.
E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl111 (Invalid Argument)
After flashing MIUI rom through download mode it would restart and go into recovery and do some initializations but the above 4 errors poped up.
The lady at the service center mentioned that they are gonna dead the motherboard or something about removing power from the logic board completely.
The Formatting SDCARD... popped up after i came home and tried getting into recovery and noticed these Arrays or argument vectors.
I don't have an external card, the phone came with 16 GB internal card.
Do you want me to put up a video, so you can get a clear picture what's going on?

Basically the yellow messages will come up when the phone is installing something and the red messages will come up when they are errors that needs to be resolved,. basically it looks like you have an internal SD card problem.
you should try to format all the partitions first If possible (by flashing a CWM recovery) and try for a fresh install of a stock ROM after that.
so read this first to get an idea of what needs to be done, enter download mode and flash the i9000 speedmod kernel, (do not reboot) enter CWM and format everything in Mounts & Storage (do not reboot), enter download mode and follow this to flash a gingerbread ROM on it .
if its not possible to format the partitions, the only other option would be to use an external SD card partitioned into two to act as the internal SD card to boot the phone. Just read all the links in the first link to understand how this can be resolved.
At the same time, for samsung service centers, it would be , changing the whole logic Board (mother board) as they would not replace just the SD card alone, which is the problem here. Some Mobile Technicians have simply striped it off and used the external Sd card to solve such problems.

Thanks for the reply and the workarounds.
I was able to install CWM (CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS).
And now it says unable to process volume !. Do i proceed to Partition SD card? and what Ext size do i choose?
And under mounts and storage there is no /data, etc but only "mount USB storage".
I tried wipe data/factory reset and i get these :
--Wiping data...
formatting /data...
E:unknown volume "/data"
Formatting /cache...
E:unknown volume "/cache"
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
E:unknown volume "/sdcard/.android_secure"
Data wipe complete.
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/last_log]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log
E:unknown volume for path [/cache/recovery/command]

take a look at this under mounts and storage menu you can format all the partitions, if its not there than flash the speedmod kernel and format them, as advised earlier, do not partition your SD card

I installed speedmod kernel and i went into mounts and storage and formatted the following,
Formatting Boot:...
Error formatting BOOT: !
Formatting SYSTEM:...
Done.
Formatting CACHE:...
Done.
Formatting DATA:...
Done.
Formatting sdcard:...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(I/O error)
Error mounting /mnt/sdcard/!
skipping format...
Done.
If i try to mount sdcard i get the same error when i try to format sdcard. How do i proceed further? I'm also out to get an external card of 8gb or 16 gb

It should be obvious by now that the problem is in mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) not being able to format, so best get a 16GB external card and partition it to solve your problem , your internal have to be scrapped and best to use only external

Yeah, i got the external 16gb card, it shows 14.48 gb free on the computer but doesn't load properly from the sd card. I'm stuck and not able to format the sdcard. I'm really stressed out now lol. It's not even recognizing through EASEUS Partition Master. I'll figure something out...any guides i should follow for partitioning it? I create two primary partitions of 2GB(vfat) and remaining fat32 right?

yes, it will only be abt 14GB, you use the speedmod CWM menu to format it in the Phone and you should be ableto use it, the earlier links given to you have guides on how to partition it.

Thank You for your support. I think the phone does not recognize the external sd-card. Through CWM i went to storage and mounts and tried to format/mount sd-ext but it failed. I wasn't able to format or mount.
I used minitool partition to create two partitions of EXT(2 GB) and FAT32(12.8). After flashing i got errors can't mount sdcard and can't copy to media. So i tried formatting through Backtrack with mkfs.reiserfs and mkfs.vfat, put the card in the phone and flashed various roms and your rescue kit (ezbase). I get the same error. I guess the phone is gone for good.

That's sad, but I guess I sort of noted it might be the case, as you were unable to format the boot partition (your earlier post) .
the only option for this now is to buy a scrap (broken) SGS and switch the mother board

Yeah, I guess if the ext-sd was working fine it would've worked. Oh well, time to buy a new phone. Thanks for your support...was very helpful.
