Earlier today I flashed cyanogenmod 7.1 onto my phone. It was ok, but I didn't like some of the styling, so I decided to change back. rom manager wouldn't let me download clockwork mod recovery, so i tried odin, and now it won't get past the android system recovery. can anyone help? Here is the error message:
E: Can't mount /dev/block.stl10
(Invalid argument)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA
copy default media content failed.

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.

Having trouble using ODIN!!
as now I did the steps and all I have is the phone will boot up through the tmobile screen & S after that screen goes black with the 4 hour button home row lit up.???
As for the recovery I get the following when booting it:

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
(Not sure if i posted in the right section before, im really worked up. Ive been flashing roms for months, and i just cant believe this happened)
Ok, so before, I went to install the Simple Galaxy rom, and i forgot to disable VooDoo .. When I boot my phone, its tied together between the stock Samsung Galaxy X screen and the Auxura Rom (which i am came from + with the honeybread port)... I know im only soft bricked, so at least i know i can SOMEHOW fix this.. I can get into download mode and recovery, but when i got to recovery and choose install ZIP from Sd card, it tells me nothing is there. I tried factory reseting it,..Can ANYONE help me with this. Please guys, Im in BIG need of help..
Edit- I got Odin to work, Im going to see what happens next
If you can get into download mode and can use ODIN, why not just go back to stock and do everything over again?
Here is all you will need get these files
Eugenes froyo that does not brick
512 pit file
Stock JFD rom
Odin 1.70 or higher
Then follow this :
1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file.
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode.
4. load the PIT file in appropriate area.
5. load the .tar file in the PDA area.
6. DO NOT check 're-partition'.
7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DONT panic! This is what's supposed to happen.
8. Now, pull your battery.
9. Load the JFD rom for the vibrant'.
10. Extract the files.
11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode.
12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box.
14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
15. Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
doing this method will get everything back to normal and the phone will work just like it did right out of the box
Hope you get it going
I had something similar happen, now I can get out of recovery mode (it says
Code:
[LEFT]update media, please wait

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

)
I tried reinstalling Foryo stock (KA6) still didn't work.
What is the difference between KA6 and JFD?
JFD = 2.1 - Elcair
KA6 - 2.2 - Froyo
I would odin back to stock 2.1 (JFD) has always worked for me.
You might need to odin using the "repartition" checked...
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.

You guys rock. Thanks for the help!
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
(file exists)
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 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.

I totally formatted my phone including the internal sd card because I wanted to start fresh.
Now, when I flash a rom I get the yingyang logo blinking and nothing happens.
I downloaded an official firmware and flashed it in odin, and that worked.
So I decided to flash the custom rom I've used for a long time, but the minute i reboot the phone after flashing, the same thing happens.
And now, when I try to reflash the stock rom, i get a MD5 error in odin. Even though its the same firmware that worked earlier.
My phone is useless now, and I cant seem to get it up an running.
Anyone got an idea how to fix this?
EDIT:
Tried to reflash the custom rom with stock kernel and when the i9300 logo appears it hangs for a little while, then I'm back into CWM with the following message:

Here :
Download a good copy of the stock rom from sammobile.com
Flash it in Odin
Go to recovery and wipe data+cache
Start your rom
Flash CF-Root or however you want to re-root + CWM
Flash your custom rom
Wipe in recovery
Should do the trick + fix the log error.

Thanks for the quick reply
But the problem is that I cannot flash the stock rom in odin because of a md5 error, which is weird since its the same file I used earlier today.
Luckily I had another ROM on my ext sd. tried to flash that now and that worked, so must have been something wrong with the other rom.
But what to about the stock rom issue?

The file was corrupted/changed in some way so the MD5 doesn't match anymore.
MD5 sums are often used to compare files to see whether it's the same exact file. If that happens just redownload it, bigger downloads = higher chance of corrupting. I recommend SamMobile for all Samsung related stock FW.
P.S Renaming the file changes it's MD5. I know right?

I did use SamMobile for downloading. The only thing I did afterwards, was moving it from my desktop to another file location.
Then the md5 error came up, so I downloaded the same file again, but this time I tried to flash it from the download location, but the same error
But now my CM10 rom work, so at least my phone is up and running again. Won't bother for now about the stock rom.
Thanks for your help. Really appreciate it
