Hello everyone,
Basically I work at a phone fixing store and costumer came in with a GT-I9000, it was broken and boot looping.
So I downloaded a stock rom and I flashed it with Odin (1.7)
Flash Went good but after that it booted in recovery, showing a loading bar and then it gave me an error:
Red lines in recovery say: E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
the other one says Data wipe failed.
Basically i kind of tried everything: flashing different custom roms, flashing cm 10 and 11 which gave me the waiting for sd card to mount error
i tried flashing other custom roms that gave me a bunch of enable to mount errors
can you guys help me solve this ?
and thanks.

I had similar problems. Try flashing a new CSC, MODEM and PDA. Using a different CSC is probably what worked for me.
Which firmware did you use?
I downloaded the
GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8
but cant seem to get the flashing to work, And there are many files to choose from
I had same problem when flashing JM8.
I skipped the PIT with tick repartition in the first place.
Did you use OCLF in your previous firmware ?
I then followed all steps correctly and all went fine.
So what was the solution for this. Ive tried flashing the original ROM back but it keeps giving me the same error. Ive tried repartioning, not repartioning, pit 512, different ROMS. Im stuck in this loop. Can someone please try to help me out?
EDIT: fixed. Flashed JM8 with .512 repart, then flashed with the Telstra DVJH3 ROM. Back to stock.
Same problem with a mexican Galaxy S.
Solution:
1) Flash JM8 with 512 repart. Note, Result: phone doesnot work at first boot, but at least try to load, discard error and enter in Download Mode
2) Flash JPM with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.1
3) Flash JPY with out repart, Result: working phone with Android 2.2.1
Result: Galaxy S with Working Froyo again!!
Thanks you all for sharing.
No need. Just flash stock XXJPU ROM... it's all you need since DBDATA is broken and that firmware contains the file, which isn't in most others...
go to my profile. and look for a thread called my trick to unbricking a soft brick or sonething download the file dbdata.rfs.tar and flash without a pit in odin

Have you flashed 3 file stock rom with Odin plus repartition checked and pit 512. Then done a second flash of same 3 file stock rom with repartition unchecked and no pit file?
XXJVU
Tri flashed XXJVU firmware.
I've had this error and this saved my phone! Flash a stock ROM (I used 2.3.6 xjw4) then boot it up it will not load up but then turn it off after everything has finished put it into download mode put this file in the PDA section of Odin and flash then watch your phone come back to life! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140

I AM facing a serious problem, i was in xgamer rom 3.0 and now i want to move to stock rom . but when i flash stock rom by re-partition i get a bootloop !! when i enter into recovary mode and wipe /ease data factory reset i get this erorr E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10 , and now what to do to go back to stock plssss help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure what xgamer Rom is but I found generally if you flash a stock Rom with Odin, a pit file and re-partition checked you should flash the Rom a second time without the pit file and have re-partition unchecked. Hope that helps

It maybe that you need the dbdata.rfs to work to sort the issue out
Hi all,
I want to flash my phone back to Telstra (Aust) stock prior to selling it. I am currently running CM7.1 and I downloaded the Telstra gingerbread ROM from here and I then flashed the rom in odin with 512 Pit and Re-partition ticked. After the rom was flashed, the phone rebooted into recovery mode but then says "failed to mount /dbdata". Several other errors occur as well.
e:copy_dbdata.media: Can't mount /dbdata, your storage is not prepared yet.
I think this may be because there is a different file system etc in CM7, but I was under the impression that repartitioning when flashing a rom would take care of this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Rupert
edit: spelling
I worked it out - when going from CM7 I needed to flash a 3 file firmware with re-partitioning instead of a 1 file firmware. All good now!
Yes, I am aware there are threads about rfs format, but Ive tried everything possible and i cant get anywhere!
First the phone had a bootloop problem as the battery was pulled as the phone wasnt responding in any way, shape, or form. Trying to reboot, i got bootloops. Flashed a stock rom to it (December 2011, Open Europe from Samfirmware). This didnt do nothing!
Tried flashing the two pit files to it, nothing. Then tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=984140 - didnt do nothing to help. Still bootlooping.
Its got the following displaying:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Any help guys?
Thanks.
try using different Odin dude... and if still does nothing try using the Darky Rom Odin Version Resurection 10.2.. with re-partition check.. it uses Voodoo Lagfix to change to Ext4 so you wont run into RFS partition if ever.. try it
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.
