That doesn't sound very good, please make this clear for me, did you successfully installed the fresh 2.3.5 rom from point 2?
If you did, try reflashing using "re-partition" enabled with pit file 512
Sounds to me like the internal memory could have some problems.

thanks for your post
after i finish installing the fresh 2.3.5 ROM thru odin & dowload mode with re-partition enabled , it gave the same problem . nothing changed same setting & same apps still exists
i just noticed that if i uninstall the installed apps & delete files and folders in exernal sd
they will come again when i restart the device
wipe the sd-card if u have, go to recovery and wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, download a fresh install JVT or JVS. Put phone in download, then open odin and connect the phone then flash. Hope that helped.
Maybe you should try settings -privacy and disable automatic restore and backup data.

guys , it seems that the device will restore to certain point or image when it restarted. thats why i can't setup a new ROM or make a factory reset.
any idea
is there any way to wipe all the ROM from the device before i install the fresh ROM.
and how can i open the recovery mode
You should try to flash custom ROM.. It worked for me when I had issues with installing stock ROM. After I flashed custom and stock after that, all worked well.
Download JVS firmware. Extract JVS pack: there will be four files: CODE, MODEM, CSC and .pit-file. Go to Odin (don't plug phone in yet).
1. Click PIT and select .pit file
2. Click PDA and select file called "CODE"
3. Click PHONE and select file called MODEM
4. Click CSC and select your CSC file.
5. Make sure you have ticked autoreboot and f.reset time and re-partition
6. Put your phone into download mode (Vol.down + menu button + power button)
Plug your phone in and start flashing.
After the phone reboots, go to download mode again (don't plug phone in yet) Download some JVS based Kernel. Don't extract it. Go to odin and click PDA. Select the Kernel you downloaded. Plug your phone in and click start. Wait few secs till it reboots.
Now, download some JVS based custom ROM from developer's section.
Go to recovery by pressing Vol.up + Menu button + power button.
Go to mounts/storages and select "mount usb". then plug your phone in and move the custom ROM you downloaded to root of your internal SD card.
After that click "unmount usb" and go back to first screen.
Then you do factory reset + wipe cache. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
After that, go to "install .zip from sd card", then "select .zip from sd card" and select the custom ROM you put there.
Wait till it flash and reboots. Try if you phone works.
I have never had similiar issue as you, put sometimes flashing cusrom ROM helps. Hope in this case too.
Edit: BTW, you could always try to format your whole internal SD card

Volume up + Home Key + Power, if you have CWM recovery you can do this
1. go to factory reset,
2. clear cache
3. Advanced-> clear dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
4.flash stock rom using odin (for best results)
6.flash custom kernel which includes CWM recovery
7.flash custom kernel.
Steps 6 and 7 are optional

thanks guys for your kind effort
First, find stock JVT from here: http://www.sammobile.com/threads/17-Samsung-I9000-Galaxy-S-Firmwares.
I suggest to download JVT firmware, it is the newest. I accidently wrote JVS, instead of JVT.
Speedmod kernel: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044519
- you will find download links at the bottom of the first post, download speedmod-kernel-k15i-t15.tar -version.
Simplicity custom ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1203047
When you've done those flashes and if you want stock ROM back, just do these steps again:
Download JVS firmware. Extract JVS pack: there will be four files: CODE, MODEM, CSC and .pit-file. Go to Odin (don't plug phone in yet).
1. Click PIT and select .pit file
2. Click PDA and select file called "CODE"
3. Click PHONE and select file called MODEM
4. Click CSC and select your CSC file.
5. Make sure you have ticked autoreboot and f.reset time and re-partition
6. Put your phone into download mode (Vol.down + menu button + power button)
7. Plug your phone in and start flashing (click start)
Attention! There is two different CSC files in JVT package - I chose bigger one.
"kindly note that the device is not rooted.."
That confirms you have no CWM
I have the very very same problem for the past 2 months here. Been looking for solutions but till now haven't solved it.
Hope something works our for you so that I can get this phone working too :s .. I have been restricted to making only calls and messages.

ok... let's try this: format your internal sd-card then flash a stock ROM using odin like you see here
after you have successfully installed a fresh ROM (using odin) you need to flash a custom kernel that has clockworkmod recovery and gives you root acces like this
Then if you want a custom ROM
Volume up + Home Key + Power, if you have CWM recovery you can do this
1. go to factory reset,
2. clear cache
3. Advanced-> clear dalvik cache
wipe battery stats
4.Flash a custom ROM
5.Enjoy
hope this helps
Hi guys,
posting here as i've tried searching and nothing comes up (anything that does has out dated download links or just doesnt apply)
Problem: after rooting my phone when i try to use rom manager, nothing happens. I've bout CWM touch, I've downloaded the normal CWM but when i try to either load cyanogen from the zip on my sd card it does nothing, it prompts me to back up, wipe etc but then when it says it will boot to recovery nothing happens. Also tried other apps to reboot and none of them work
any advice on this?
I've seen a cmd prompt set of instructions for Superoneclick, but im lost as to the getting to the directory through cmd tool.
any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi , if you have CWM touch, install QtADB on your computer => http://qtadb.wordpress.com/download/
reboot recovery from menu
or install android sdk and in a command prompt : adb reboot recovery
or at reboot OB, press G-key
Did you flashed recovery? First option in rom manager.
Trolling in the deep
yep clicked the first option, the prompt for the device comes up, i hit it, then the bar loads... then "succes".
then when i try to install from SD card nothing happens
Thankyou YkZ_1967 !!! However I installed qtADB and got reboot recovery, but it just reset the phone. Any ideas?

that's depend what you want to do, if you install custom rom, reboot in recovery, wipe data/cache / dalvik , then install zip from sdcard and choose your rom, then after success flash, reboot now.
I want to install cyanogen but when i try to load from sd card in rom manager it wont go into boot recovery.
when i managed to get it to boot recovery in the way you suggested it only reset the phone.
I feel like i'm missing something, did not think it would be this difficult

That means actually no cwm recovery installed yet so it will reset your phone everytime you want to enter recovery mode. This is the best thing you should do : reroot your phone like in this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105. It will automatically installing cwm recovery touch. After that, you can go to recovery mode by using quick boot (download it from playstore). Therefor, you can start flashing roms, but remember don't use rom manager, coz it wont detect your cwm recovery touch and forcing you to flash the non-touch cwm recovery.

follow the method with smartflashtools and v20.x patched with cwm touch by SnegovikRZN , then you have OB rooted with CWM Touch, you will be able to install CM7 and unbrick your phone.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!
Got it to work that way all i had to do was flash that then clear data/wipe cache/wipe dalvik and then load from sd card and it works! very happy now
how can I boot into recovery , from a turned off phone

after you try to install zip from SD card and fails, check to see if it shows: error can't mount /sdcard. or something like that. ???
if it syas so. try a different recovery like TWRP, i was having a problem, similar to what you describe, an hour ago while rooting and flashing my mother's in law OB, i flashed the CWMT recovery and for some reason it couldn't load the ZIP from SD and it showed this error, so i flashed TWRP recovery and then it was fine, i manage to flash marvel rom and all was good.
hope it helps.

you are right, but i had a problem, the CWM was flash and ob went into CWM recovery mode, but for some reason it stated an error that it cannot mount /sdcard, so i tried via recovery menu to mount sd card, didnt work, then i tried again to flash a different version of CWM, same error, then i went and flshed TWRP and it worked.
i wonder if its a specific OB bug, bcoz this problem happen on my mother in law OB and on my OB it was rooting and flashing just fine, exactly like the guide.
I formatted system (through CWM) and now the phone is stuck at the LG logo when it boots. I can access CWN and (i think, i've not tried) S/W Upgrade. There is a way to boot my phone without wipe data or lose my file?
Thanks, oh and sorry for my english

flashing a new system not have repercursions to content of internal sdcard or external sdcard.
you lose app installed and configurations of device and apps.
for flashing via CWM you have more choises:
- install zip from internal or external sdcard
- apply sd-card update.zip if you have one on sd-card. in that case you not lose nothing.

Yes, but you did not state what ROM you were using.
If you were using CM or another custom ROM you can use the 'adb sideload'-functionality to reinstall it. This requires setting up adb on your computer, for instance using the files for rooting the v20a LG installation and installing the correct drivers. The phone should then boot normally with (nearly) all your data intact.
If you were using an LG ROM (which I doubt since you already installed CWM) you need to use one of the flash methods listed in this subforum to reflash your ROM. If you install the exact same ROM it should boot fine with (nearly) all your data intact.
If the phone still won't boot using one of these methods, clear the caches first and reboot.
Thanks for the answers!
However I reflashed all again (wipe data/cache -> Install zip From SD Card)

Hi,
1) to fix the problem, get the recovery mode and wipe the cache partition and maybe you need to do a factory reset (it will erase your configuration);
2) to installa a custom rom you need first to root the smartphone and second install CWM recoverty 5.x that override stock recovery;
3) boot in cwm recovery and install CM 10.1 (install zip from sd-card).

yes but to install CWM you need to access in recovery mode;
if it's not possible, you need to use ODIN and flash first stock rom.
