Have you tired using a pit file?

flash a stock rom from samfirmware.com with ODIN.(eg. jw5)
to extract the password is "samfirmware.com"
tick repartition and use 512 pit file(included in rom from samfirmware).
check youtube for "flash with odin" if u dont know how.
edit:u are trying to flash from from samsungs 3 recovery.u need cwm(clockworkmod) to flash.
go to CF-ROOT(for i-9000) thread and follow instructions and read all in the OP(1-2-3 posts)
again u need ODIN to flash it.

hey
there is the best wasy to do that...just go to sammobile.com
there sign up first and then download the firmware (in firmware tab) and flash-programs...
the make sure to use oidn3_v1.0 only...
you can also download the flash-guide if you need it...
its simple..:laugh:

Thanks to everyone for replays, but nothing helped me x_x

And then it keep showing me GT 9000 logo......

I know there is way to install in to external SDcard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zdMhYYdMB08

Yep, keep shows only gt-9000 logo..

I had a very similar problem earlier this year.
From what I could see the partitions on the phone's internal storage weren't able to be accessed. In adb I tried using parted and rm but the partitions there (/dev/block/mmc/blk0) didn't ever change. I also tried various .pit files and Android versions through Odin but nothing worked.
I took my phone in for repairs after flashing a really old version; as close as possible to what it came with, and they fixed it. The repair was due to 'mechanical fatigue' according to them. I assumed the internal storage was some how broken or corrupted and couldn't be written to.

Not sure, if you manage to solve this.
From you screenshots I can see you are using 3e recovery. I would suggest you to flash a kernel which support cwm recovery mode.
I have heard peoples getting this error while using it on 3e.

Captain_17
Yes Captain_17, i have exactly same problem, cant give it to repair since purchased it from abroad.

3e recovery because i`ve flashed 2.2 and 2.2.1 or any other official roms, i can flash CWM easy but as Captain_17 said i can see but cant touch
files or partitions.
If flash CWM then phone will boot to CWM only, and i cant flash any rom from CWM because i cant copy files to internal storage and external (sdcard) cwm doesn't see it.

Sorry man, wish I could be of more help. I tried every available option I could find online but nothing worked.
Seems to be a hardware problem and replacing the damaged part is the only solution.

Silly question, but you ticked re-partition? try flash 2.2.1 or 2.3.3 with 512 pit and repartition

Also, you could try to flash Darky ressurection via odin, not completely stock rom. I know that this is just tweaked stock, but you could try do that.
And, you could try to use Heimdall instead of odin - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
I have read somewhere that heimdall is more preferable than odin in some cases.

After installing aroma guestekrnL phone only boots to CWM

Hello
I've tried installing guestekrnL on WIUI. When installing guestekrnL, the only thing I've ticked extra that was other than defaults was:
"Activate init.d functionality and convert file system to EXT4?
- yes
select if init.d is not working yet or if you don't know"
Well, after reboot WIUI was screaming that my sd card is broken and format may help. It formatted it, but it still didn't work. So I've rebooted to recovery via option in power dialog in order to restore old firmware. However there's a problem now: CWM Touch says that it can't write logs to /cache. Mounting /cache, /data or /emmc from recovery doesn't work, only /system and /sdcard are mounting correctly. I've tried BackToExt3 with no luck. I've tried wiping it many times, with no luck. My phone only boots now to CWM. I can't flash stock via APX mode, because I have broken USB port in my phone. What can I do?

Does restoring a backup, flashing a zip file or wiping work?

Ok, I was searching for almost whole hour now and it seems it's a problem with partition table. Fixing can be done via zip, but I need some dumps. First one from "cat /proc/mounts" and second from "parted".
Here's the zip for nook color if someone wants to do that for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1759558

the Touch CWM might be the issue......most of the times it is found as the source of some unknown issues for some or intermittent issues.
I use the non-touch one always
Hope it helps

Well, how do I flash new recovery from CWM using zip then?

Unfortunately, it needs USB. I need to flash it via existing recovery.

Mounting problems occur on some zips using touch recovery . Change cwm to non touch 5.0.2.8. But hey, did you flash a stock kernel on wiui ? you need another kernel, like etana, symbiosis.....or just use the one shipped with rom

[Q] Failed to mount /sdcard problem

Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, but I'm reading it for about 8 months now. I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S I9000. After flashing with Odin3 v1.83(with 512.pit file, bootloader, PDA, PHONE and CSC), and I got a green "PASS!" on it, and after phone rebooted in Recovery Mode, I've got following error while Copying media files:
E:Failed to mount /sdcard (Invalid Argument)
After that, I tried flashing bunch of different ROM's but I always get the same error. Phone can go into Download mode, Recovery mode with no problem, I can also normally turn on phone and in a beggining I get a lot of "Force Close" pop-ups, but after that my phone works okay, I can go into settings and there I can see that there is no memory, so that means that my phone doesn't even sees my 8GB external micro sd card. When I try to open Camera, I get this error:
Turn off usb storage before using camera.
I currentlly have i9000XWJVZ 2.3.6 ROM on it, with CF-Root-XX_OXA_JVZ-v4.3-CWM3RFS(Clockwork Recovery v3.0.0.5). When I'm in Recovery mode and access my phone via ADB, and try to manually mount sdcard, this is what I get:
~ # mount sdcard
mount sdcard
mount: mounting /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 on /sdcard failed: I/O error
I've also tried partitioning my external 8GB micro SD card with linux(I found a video on youtube: "Samsung i9000 mmcblk0p2 error recovery"), and then tried to flash ROM on it, but I get the same error.
Can somebody please help me, I'm getting really desperate.
All ideas are welcome, Thanks.

Hi there! I have a similar problem. After updating from Android 2.3.4 Build MCGv7.6 ( I9000XXJVK) I keep on getting CWM. I can also return to download mode and use Odin with success - with as only result a changed CMW version at max. Returning to CWM 3.0.0.5 and stock rom Froyo doesn't result in a applied rom. When i try to mount /emmc and /sd-ext it simply states Error mounting /emmc! Even though I didn't format it! When I look in AROMA explorer in CWM from Semaphore_JB_2.9.12, I can see that both /emmc and /sdcard have ----- as permissions instead of rxwrx or something alike. If permissions are the problem here, Fix Permissions doesn't appear to have an effect on these two folders. Is there another way to restore these permissions?
Thanks guys for your time! :good:

Your tutorial was the first thing I tried, it fixed the wipe error, but the main error (E:Failed to mount /sdcard) stayed.

Possible solution is to Format your SD card by using SDFormatter (Windows)
01. Download "SDFormatter" from the link above
02. Install "SDFormatter"
03. Enable "USB Debugging Mode" from Developer Options in settings.
04. Connect your tablet to PC (USB).
05. Then, tap the "USB Strage Mode" to connect to PC.
06. Backup data on INTERNAL_SD card.
07. Run "SDFormatter".
08. Specify the drive letter of INTERNAL_SD in SDFormatter and click "(Option)" button.
09. "FORMAT TYPE" select "FULL OVERWRITE" and set "FORMAT SIZE ADJUSMENT" to "ON" and click "OK"
10. Now click "FORMAT" and wait for the procedure to complete. (Can take approximately 1 hour 40 minutes)
11. After format is completed you can recopy the backup files back onto the INTERNAL_SD
Let me know if that works
If not hopefully someone else can give more info

You could try changing the way you do it. I can't remember whether you should flash dbdata straight after the rom, or if you should let it fail to boot then go back into download mode and flash it.
I do remember though that it was a bit fussy with me like that, so try it both ways.
I also found that flashing your GB ROM twice, one after the other seemed to help sometimes too. (Just noticed that I've written a .txt file in my GB ROM folder on my PC reminding me to do this, so there must have been a reason for it - been a while since I've played with gingerbread so I can't remember why)
So there's a couple of things for you to try.

Hi.
Have you tried full restore to GB? Original Stock Firm.
-Get your stock from http://samfirmware.com/ & Odin (with pit file).
Don't forget the WIPE! ( you can restore to stock and after that wipe and restart )
For me, at any problem i have... i use the GB Flash Kit from Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1637966
And folow that 5 steps.

I don't have the device infront of me but I am 99% sure it was

For the record I can flash a STOCK rom with Odin. I don't think there is a way to flash any other roms by usb neither with heimdall nor odin.
Attempting to format data and system just outputs the same error.
I've been used to playing around with HTCs. Is there a way to for me to format data and system via the Android Console or adb?
I also tried fully formatting sdcard0(internal sdcard) and sdcard1(external sdcard) and flashing stock from Odin and then a recovery (I understand recovery =kernel on samsung?) with heimdall.
Can I try flashing via built-in recovery with update.zip or something like aroma installer just won't work?

Which stock firmware are you using? Try to flash XXJVU with Odin. Also use a 512 pit and check re-partition.

Yes, recovery is built in the kernel. It can't be flashed separately.
