Stuck... and it's a bad one. - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so this morning I decided to try out Bionix Fusion 1.0 stock kernel no lag fix...I know this is not the problem, but something happened. After installing Fusion, my phone just hung on a blank screen after the galaxy S logo.
I tried to Odin back to stock, after this my phone boots directly into recovery and if I try to flash my previous ROM (Master 1.1.3 stock kernel) I get an error.
Formatting DATADATA....
E: Can't mount /dev/block/st110

Much help would be appreciated!!! Have to work all day today which will be slow, so I can work on fixing this. My main question is what type of file is pit & tar? Pit properties is coming up as a window shell comand, Tar opens with unknow app? Not sure if this is my problem or not, I get ODIN to run and complete the steps and end up with the above.
Using Odin V1.3
512.pit
t959UVJI6
did you disable lagfix before you did this? If you didn't have lagfix then I would try to go to stock 2.1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
If you had lagfix, its a little more complicated and you may need to use Android SDK. Search for lagfix and flash and the information should pop up.
dont use the .pit file for JI6.. only way I can do JI6 for some reason.
see if that works for you
can you direct me to the files that I need....pda and pit PLEASE...

was completely stock and I just rooted/unlocked. Swithed Sd cards and stuck in boot loop, after booting up again, trying to recover through ODIN, so probably no lagfix

just use the JI6 PDA file that you used..... dont add the 512.pit file to it in ODIN
okay found a solution for now, my issue was related to ROM manager with the SD card, kept getting wrong MD5 Sum!! Really pissed me off about this since I was running through ODIN correctly,
Temporary Solution...
Updated the rom with Eugene froyo!! This brought me out of boot looping and now I have a rom on my phone can use it but no downloading or anything. Try to downgrade to stock rom but not luck.
I had the same problem and had to start over again with JFD and the 512 .pit file. Afterward i went to JI6 through KIES and then used Eugene's Froyo ROM with root and took it from there. I had a weird problem where my drive letters went from e and f, to g and h (that's what they are now). I also had a problem with the CW file on my SD card. I eventually had to move it to the phone in order to flash CW recovery. Flashed and am running Nero V3. Best ROM i've ever used!! Highly recommend.....

Thats what I think i need to do is reflash Clockwork recovery, not sure how to do so though

2.2 KA6 Froyo and Clockworkmod recovery

I tried to re-install packages after I flashed clockworkmod recovery and got an error
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
How to fix this. Someone suggested re-root with a simple script included. .... Sorry I'm a noob and learning everything
Doesn't work with the latest stock ROM
I am a noob like you. I reinstalled the stock ROM using the AIO Vibrant Toolbox. Than I upgraded to the latest stock ROM using the Kios. But the Clockworkmod recovery did not work just like yours.
After spending hours and trying several different ways without any luck, I decided to start over. This time I did not load the latest ROM update with Kios. This time I was able to load Clockworkmod recovery. I think it has a problem with the latest stock recovery software.
with the stock 2.2 you need a modified recovery. stock uses 3e recovery so you need to odin supercurios ka6 voodoo kernel or go thru the dev section and do the steps for the modified 3e recovery.

I posted a link for you over in the Trigger thread to the recovery hack you'll need, but here it is again since this would have been the correct place for me to have placed it in the first place!

Tried that and it no worked. Can I Odin Supercurio's KA6 Voodoo kernal like another user stated...If so How do I ODIN it.....Also can I flash the Overstock kernal after that
Download Odin
open it up on your pc
turn off your phone & plug the USB into your phone
hold down both of the volume keys (not the power key)
plug the other end into pc
should be in download mode
check to see if you have a yellow COM port in ODIN
if you do, place the KA6 voodoo.tar in the PDA line of ODIN and hit start
it will take some time 5 or 10 mins...and your phone will reboot on its own..
DONOT do anything to it while this process is happening..
find an app on market called Quick boot and then you can CWM recovery flash the Overstock kernel or use Kernel Flasher to flash Overstock kernel.
there is also the AIO toolbox in the DEV section you could use
try this on for size...worked for me. Hopefully for you too.
Let us know your results.

I did odin and it said not enough space on partion and something else enabled.
I re-booted into red recovery, YEAH.... What did it mean not enough space on partion?... Should I use SGS Kernal flasher and load over stock? I think I did it last night and overstock never booted
I Give Up, Somebody please help me
I'm trying to load the the overclocked kernal with voodoo sound for my Vibrant. I have rooted it, I used Odin to load supercurio's KA6 Build With Voodoo, it loads however the voice says said not enough space on partion and something else enabled.

I even tried using clockworkmod recovery, but cant get the 3e to 2e converison to work. Any idea's. I have odin back to stock so many times. Im frusterated

Please help with flashing error after ODIN

I got my replacement phone (lucky me) after first one got a cracked screen.
I was at JI6 stock and wanted to get Simply Honey 3.5 REVO.
So first I flashed the 3.3 update coming from froyo as was in the instructions and I got stuck at boot look with rainbow. My only choice was to odin back to stock, and here is where I am stuck....
I tried JI6 with or without re-partion and get the following error
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
I also tried Eugene's JK2 that doesn't brick and got a similar error, but there was an option to reformat SD Card, but I can't select it, since in 3e recovery power button won't work...
Please someone help me...
+1 to this. I'm having the same problem.
did you do all of this?
- Install Instructions v3.3
1. Place Simply3.3Update1.zip on your internal sdcard
2. Boot into clockwork recovery
3. Perform a factory reset.
4. Select the zip file and flash.
5. Once it is finished rebooting, wait 15 minutes before doing ANYTHING!
6. NOW REBOOT AGAIN!!!
- Works to come from any Rom. Wipe, wipe, wipe first.
- YES IS SAFE TO COME RIGHT FROM RC2!!!!!!
Install Instructions v3.5 Revolution
1. You must first be running a Gingerbread rom (Doesn't matter Lindroid, Rainbows, your cousins top secret GB rom.) If you are not then please follow instructions above to flash 3.3 first and then proceed below.
2. Place Simply_Honey_3.5_Revo.zip on your SD card
3. Use rom manager. Click Flash Clockwork Mod Recovery and select I9000
4. Flash rom in Rom Manager.
I HAVE TESTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES AND I KNOW WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOES NOT. IF YOU SKIP A STEP YOU WILL DEFINITELY RUN INTO PROBLEMS SUCH AS BOOT LOOPS OR APPS NOT INSTALLING

This is great info!!!
However, the problem that I'm (we're) having is that we're stuck in stock recovery and getting this error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:
copy default media content failed.
I can't boot into the OS. Is there a way to get the clockwork recovery flashed without access to Rom Manager?
I've odin'd a few times and I'm still getting the same error.
:-(
Thanks SO much for your help!!!

Flash supercurios stock voodoo kernel via Odin that should take care of the devblock message and you be able to flash what you want.

Ok.
Flashed the stock+voodoo.
I have clockwork now, but I still can't boot past recovery.
I'm trying to perform a full data/reset, but I am still getting the following errors.
e:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10

Error mounting /datadata/!
Skipping format
Should I try to repartition the SD card through clockwork?
What are the standard partition sizes?
Thanks.
EDIT: I have flashed a ROM, and while it flashes fine, I am still booting to recovery every time. Getting this error even after flashing a ROM successfully.
DOUBLE EDIT: Finally got a 100% successful Odin flash. Re-partition and to stock JFD. Looks like I might be back in business. Thanks everyone!!!
pretty sure you need to odin JFD , which is original stock rom. JI6 won't work and the only way I could ever odin JI6 was to do it without a pit file...but yea, you need to odin JFD..

Thanks! I probably crashed with Odin 50-60 times before I got a solid flash.
Ridiculously nerve-racking.

I have gotten that dbdata error message before, it was written in red.
I don't remember how I fixed it since it was long ago, way before CM, but the thread is around the forums somewhere.
Anyway, don't worry, you will be ok.
did you use the correct pit and tar? repartition? maybe the issue is you are going from cm file system to jfd.
look into eugenes froyo that doesn't brick.
Odin, go get the AIO Tools or something and do the flash to stock option from Download mode and check the repartition as well.

I used s1_odin_20100512.pit and T959UVJI6.tar as my tar file. I have tried checking re-partition but it doesn't change anything. Could you explain what the thing about the cm file system to jfd is?

JFD is the Original 2.1 rom that the phone came with (the J refers to year j=2010) the F refers to the month (June) this was the release of this software build
JI6 (ji6) is the later updated version of the 2.1 rom JI6== 2010/ Sept
When you Odin back to stock it is preferable to use JFD instead of JI6. Make sure to ck repartition, Download Rom Manager >then root >then flash new rom
JFD (for me) never gives any problems, I have had a couple of fails with the JI6 so since you are flashing back to 2.1 just to clear out the old software It is just better to use JFD the original stock rom.
Really doesn't explain everything I think you want, but this is what is important.
This has happened to me several times. Odin using Eugene's "Froyo that doesn't brick" (just search for it) check repartition when odining. This will repartition everything back to normal. You can do whatever after that. Flash Cwm and a new rom.

they use different file systems and when you try to odin back you run into problems, I think your answer is eugenes froyo that doesn't brick, flash that, then you should be back to good.

[Q] No OS after flashing clockwork from odin

I am very new to rooting and flashing and just finished rooting my phone and flashing clockwork on my phone through odin. Now I don't have an operating system on the phone and if I try to click and drag the ROM onto my SD card it says not enough room. Can I just load my ROM into odin under PDA and click go? or how do I go about getting an OS back on the phone? Do I need to do anything with the PIT in odin? Thanks
Also when I click apply sdcard:update.zip I get a message saying E:can't mount /dev/block/vold179:9
(no such file or directory)
E:can't mount SDCARD:udate.zip
Installation aborted.
You need to make room on SD card, also what is your goal? To get miui, cm7, custom Tom?

You must 3 finger boot into recovery immediately after pushing recovery with odin, and when you are in recovery for the first time you must flash a non stock kernel then and there so that recovery doesn't get overwritten back to stock when you boot up.
Also you should be selecting install zip from sd, and then navigating to said rom and selecting install do not use update.zip.
finally what recovery are you trying to use to flash vgb? I would use otb 3x.x.x, times infinity's 3.x.x.x, or 3-30fix all, those seem to be the best recovery for flashing...just my.02
Edit if you still can't get anything to load you may need to odin back to stock first to get everything straightened back out....if you can't get your phone to boot anything I'd odin eb01 in pda and atlas 2.2pit with repartition checked (you do these both at the same time)....it may be over kill but will get your phone back to stock, and from there you shouldn't have any problems with dev blocks or install problems as long as you follow my suggestions above.
