My Galaxy S has:
PDA: I9000JHJP8
PHONE: I9000JHJP5
CSC: I9000PTRJP8
Build info: 2010 . 10
When I try to update it via Kies(I have the newest version of kies installed) it shows me that theres an update is available and when I press Update it sais the I9000 Was disconected, a few seconds after the phone gets recognised by Kies again, and again I try to update, it looses the phone then finds it again, USB is fine so whats wrong? How to I update? I am not disconecting the phone in any part of the process...
Kies has some issues and is responsible for a lot of bricked phones, i would say if you want the newest firmware then flash it yourself thru a program called 'Odin'
you can download the newest firmwares from www.samfirmware.com (registering takes 2 mins) and its all official.. or type in the search bar above 'I9000 stock firmware'
just be sure to do a little reading before going ahead to fully understand what to do, or you could become another victim of a bricked phone... there are instructions on how to use odin on the samfirmware website, (it can sound confusing but its easy)

Someone wit the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=962237
after playing with Kies for two days I gave up. The newest version could not find updates, version 1.5 with a patcher found updates but still old ones. As azzledazzle wrote try Odin. It is really easy and reliable. I was wary first, but now I switched to using CWM and have Odin as backup in case something goes wrong. Never failed. And it's fast.
Hoping a kind soul can help a total fool who should have left well alone!
I have a UK Samsung Galaxy S I9000 phone that was unlocked by the previous owner but still had all the "3" branding which I wanted to remove. I was already on ver 2.2 (updated via Kies) although I don't know the exact revision.
After lots of reading (obviously not enough) I followed a guide to reflash via Odin v1.7 to I9000XWJS3 using separate files for PIT (803), PDA, PHONE and CSC. The guide said to tick Re-partition on which might have been the cause of my problem.
Needless to say after the flash, I got the error message "Can't mount /dev/block/st110" and subsequent reboots just give me a black screen. I still had access to the download mode so I tried another posts solution to fix the black screen starting with a flash to I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit and re-partition again. This time the odin process started but no progress bar materialised. After a very long while I disconnected. Thankfully I can still enter the download mode but this time am hoping someone with more knowledge is willing to help me though the process of recovering my phone if its still possible.
Just looking for any stock UK firmware and then I will let Kies update from now on.
Many Thanks
[Solved]
For those that want a quick summary of what restored my phone. Flashing I9000XXJPC with a 512 pit clicking re-partition.

You still can use xxjpc, with repartition ticked. Many a times, odin will fail for no reasons. Try again, but make sure you close Kies completely.

Thanks g00ndu. You gave me the courage to re-run xxjpc again by confirming I was on the right track and this time it worked. Small donation on its way for helping me recover my phone.
I have one further question though. Can someone confirm if the I9000XXJPC firmware is for the UK? I hope to only use Kies from now on but it now says "the version of the device cannot be updated". I am using the latest version 2.0.0.11014_49.
Thanks again
Edit - Kies lists the current firmware version as PDA:JPC / PHONE:JPC / CSC:JPC (KOR). Something tells me I have the wrong country firmware. If anyone can provide a link to the correct one and the Odin settings I should use it would be greatly appreciated.
Still trying to get a solution to this and have noticed that my product code in Kies registry entry is GT-I9000HKDKOR. I am wondering if this is because I used a wrong CSC file?
Any directions would be very welcome.
Thanks
Go to www.samfirmware.com and grab the Europe/UK firmware. Get a 2.2.1. one. All the CSC, Phone, Modem files should be in the package.
Thanks snapper.fishes. I am now downloading I9000XXJPU (512.Pit) - hopefully this one is correct as some of the downloads for 2.2.1 show (803.Pit). As there are no instructions with this I assume I don't click re-partition. Is this correct?
Thanks for the help
This is almost soul destroying....
I ran the update "I9000XXJPU (512.Pit)" as mentioned above and it flashed successfully. I am now on 2.2.1
Re-plugged in the usb cable and no windows popup to view the sd contents and nothing in "My Computer". Kies recognises something has been plugged in but remains on "connecting" - the phone itself shows the usb graphic and "connected".
I then went into Settings -> About Phone and there is no USB Settings option.
And just to rub it in I typed in *2767*4387264636# as per the wiki guide on here to view the Product code and it's still on Korea GT-I9000HKDKOR.
Edit - Have now tried *#1234# and the phone says:
PDA: I9000XXJPU
PHONE: I9000XXJPU
CSC: I9000OXAJPU
Not even sure if this bit helps
In case this is a help to other novices like me with the wrong product code. I found the following info and you don't need to be rooted to run it:
E.g. Changing CSC to XEU: Note - this will only work if the multiCSC was used when firmware was flashed
Type *#272*IMEI# and select XEU to install. (to check IMEI: *#06#)
Phone will reset to the default setting (perform a backup beforehand if req)
XEU = UK's product code
As for the USB issue (no USB Settings menu option in About Phone), is this just a change in the 2.2.1 menus? I noticed a USB Settings menu in "Wireless and network" and they have changed how this works. Kies still refuses to connect to the phone, but maybe this is just Kies.
Thanks
Jpu firmware is broken with kies. I think from memory that jpy and onwards allows that connection.
Jpu wasn't considered a official firmware but it worked incredibly well.bar the kies problem.

Me Too!!
I'm getting the same error the op did.
What happened? I flashed CM7 and it worked fine. I then decided to do a restore with the backup I had made earlier with CWM, this is when **** went wrong. Couldn't boot up after this or get to recovery. Went into download mode and tried to reflash factory firmware. JL2 Andriod 2.2 for Bell Canada I9000. Says successful but just boots to 3e recovery with " /dev/block/st110, (Invalid argument), E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: "
Below that it says: " your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions. copy default media content failed.
My biggest fear is the dreaded Int.SD card failure, the op gave me hope but same thing after every reflash.
Any suggestion?
I also have a Bell I9000M that did that. After attempting several combinations what ended up working for me was flashing JPU with 512.pit and repartition enabled, modem, PDA and CSC all selected in odin 1.3. That got me a working device. Then flashed JH2 to get recovery 2e back. Then flashed to the ROM I was originally on (Darky's 9.3). After that I flashed a CWM zip for the JL2 modem to get data back.

Also very important, for JH2 I did PDA only. No pit, no repartition.

Dude you totally saved my bacon. I was dreading the possibility of having to go to Bell. Totally worked, though coolirs media or something keeps force closing but at least the phone is working. Just gonna flash cm7 now since I have to start from scratch anyway.
Thanks again!

Thanks icejagans. Its a relief to know that this is just an incompatibiliy between kies and the JPU firmware. Do you know if there has been an official 2.2.1 firmware available via Kies for UK unbranded I9000s?
Edit - icejagans you're a star, the JPY update fixed the USB oddity I was having and even Kies now connects OK. I will mark this thread as solved.
Thanks for everyones help
Hi,
I have the same problem, Can´t mount /dev/block/stl10
My phone is Gt-i9000 Made in Korea i9000gsmh
I don´t know what stock from is factory rom for my phone.
Any suggestion ?
Thanks
Hi - I bought an unlocked UK G-Tab which I think was P1000XWJJ7. Samsung Keis said there were no updates but when I looked at samfirmware.com it seemed my firmware was produced in October 2010 and there was a European firmware P1000XWJMK from Feb 22 2011. Must be better I thought! Anyway I used the Eur Pid file and the P1000XWJMK files with Odin 1.7 and it was all going fine until I hit a fail message about movinand.mst. Try as I might it won't work. So I downloaded the JJ7 firmware again (this was not as 3 seperate files, but one tar file) but try as I might it keeps failing to flash. I've tried various pit files but none seem to work.
Can anyone help me get back to the default UK unlocked rom?!
Your ROM is bootloader locked which prevents downgrading. There is a patch for that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888071 (READ WHOLE THREAD AND DISCLAIMER).
Thanks for the advice but I don't think I've managed to end up with a locked bootloader. I can flash several different ROMS but after each one succeeds I get stuck on the "Samsung Galaxt Tab" screen that comes up on reboot. I can't seem to get into recovery mode.
Another quick question - if a firmware file from samfirmware.com only has one tar file, is that the PDS, PHONE and CSC all bundled together, or just one of them? Sorry I am a noob!
First of all, I've tried to search first but comes with no suitable answer..
My problem is..
I have a GT-P1000 with XSE csc code before.
So since I've been waiting so long for Gingerbread updates, I've come through an update from Italy. So I grabbed that right away.
The last 1 month has been ok, but since there is an update for my country specific, I want to use that update instead.
...long story short...
I tried to flash back to my older Froyo ROM which is P1000DXJK2
Grabbed both the pit and tar and voila, my SGT is back to froyo
I then tried to connect it to Kies but it can't see any firmwares update (heck it can't even see my SGT firmware now)
I tried *#1234# and found out that there is nothing on PDA and CSC
The SGT is working OK, but I still want the specific update for my country..
So my questions are..
1. Where should I find CSC files or PDA files suitable for my Froyo OS? So that KIES able to recognize it and download the GingerBread update?
2. I also want to update to P1000DXJPE but from my latest experience downgrading from XXJQ1 to P1000DXJK2 .. I was a little bit affraid
Any helps will be appreciated. And if someone already has questioned this before, please, point me toward the thread.. Perhaps I wasn't paying attention when searching before.

have you tried reflashing jk2 again?
i have an existing thread here.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/t710-help-t3839403
But this problem, I found the latest firmware i could find, and used Odin to flash it, with the firmware in the AP" box.
T710XXU2DRB1_T710XSA2DRB1_HOME.tar.md5 (Yes, Australian Firmware, for Australia).
But the problem now, is after flashing, (Odin passed), the tablet tries to boot, gets to the white Samsung flashing text and just sits there.
[edit] It seems I need the PIT file for the tablet, does anyone have the PIT file for an Australian (XSA) T710 ?.
I did notice one posted on these forums for EUR_OPEN, Can I use that one or does it need to be for my area ?
Are the T713 pit files compatible ?
