I found this thread about manually editing the partition however I seem to have messed it further by attempting to do that. Running CWM gives me a few errors about how it can't mount cache. I've flashed at least 5 different ROMs but all of them get stuck at the bootlogo. >.>
Help me guys.
If it helps, it's the 16GB variant.
Many important "details" are missing in your short explanation.
are you able to "wipe", if yes what is reported on the screen in red letters that will direct to your problem if the partitioning is broken.
you said you have done CWM, what kernel did you use? because no known korean kernel allow it, if you made use of RJ' one it will not boot the GB70 ((UNFORTUNATLY!!!).
last point did you "touch" the PIT? or try to do so?
please stop doing thing without real knowledge; I can say that because I paid to know it?
be patient

Hi,
My Friend brought new s2 GT-I9100 for me.
I downloaded India firmware (GT-I9100_INU_I9100XWKE8_I9100DDKE2_I9100ODDKE2.tar) into that from that time it got hanged at logo.
After that I downloaded UK vodafone firmware same problem (I9100BULPG_I9100VODLPB_VOD). Badly I Selected re-partion and given .Pit file also.(u1_02_20110310_emmc_EXT4.pit)
Wipe data/factory reset also not working ...
Please help me to resolve the problem. More details given below.
Model: GT-9100
SSn:I9100GSMH
FCCID: A3LGT9100
IMEI:359372/04/737835/1
S/N: RVUBB78992H.
And please suggest me suitable firmware.
Sorry for my bad English
So basically you know nothing about rooting/android and you ticked re-partioning whilst flashing with Odin? I suggest you return the phone and get a new one and don't much around with it because the process to fix your phone now is really awkward (if it's even possible).

Thanks for replay...
Yes I agree with you...
I am new to S2. Already I am using Galaxy ace I did everything( Flashing/rooting/installed custom rom's). with this phone I tried many time to flash but It giving the same problem and Wipe Data/factory reset also not happening so I ticked Re-partition. (After reading many threads I tried that one). Any way still your saying possible, so please suggest me I will do that. If not happens finally I will do what you said.
Google how to fix a re-partition. Something about flashing a new pit file. Soz but I don't know, maybe another member can help.
Dudes,
Waiting for help...
Finally my phone working with 2nd rom os...
Trying to bring normal
Thanka to XDA.....

P.S can i put an external link or i have to edit ?
Wrong section, we aren't familiar with that phone. You don't want us too give you wrong advice on what to flash. Use the link above to figure out what to do.

If you have recovery working, then yea try flashing a proper ROM. If not then there's odin go back to stock and start over.
those all sounds like the right process, but I'm not telling you what to install on a phone I'm not 100% familiar with. You know you're being lazy but yet continue to, and then wonder why won't we won't help you, it's not cause we don't want to cause of your laziness, it's cause we don't want to be the blame for your phone no longer working.

sounds right but leave auto reboot unchecked. And yes 900 isn't that big must roms are about that size give or take. hard to say though since were not familiar with the stock ROM for that device. Just make sure you check the md5 sum first so you know it's a good file. Also make sure you get your ROM from the proper source ie your models forum or equivalent don't just grab it from anywhere on the internet...
Hey, i don't want to open another thread just for a little question so i put it here D:

Hi guys.
My S3 started having problems yesterday night and im trying to fix it during this christmas break.
My phone was running out of battery and, after i turned it off to save some juice, it simply won't boot to its original state.
I tried to wipe its cache, i tried to repair it up using Kies and I even downloaded its original firmware in SamMobile and tried to build it using Odin.
It simply wont go further the boot screen.
What can I possibly do before actually giving up on it??
PS:Ive never tried to ROM it. And yeah, sorry for the bad english. Thanks ahead!
Factory reset.

Hi there.
I tried that too and it didnt work.. It simply wont get out of the boot screen
Heres a picture of what happens after i try to factory reset it.
Thanks!
Edit: can't post a picture atm. Anyway, it says that
E:/ Failed to mount /efs (invalid argument), several times.
You've corrupted the efs partition, either when it ran out of battery or during your flashing spree.
Go read the thread 'efs know this stuff' in general, sticky threads.

Hello all,
I am a first-time poster on XDA, but I've read loads on this site and want to thank everyone who contributes to it!
I managed to soft brick my S5830i while flashing a dodgy ROM, and am trying to unbrick. I've been trying to do this by flashing stock firmware through Odin, but I'm not having much luck so far. I keep getting write fails. I've used multi-file firmware (through Odin v1.85/v3.07) and single-file (through Odin v3.07). I've re-downloaded several different versions of firmware, and none have worked (i.e. I don't think it's a file error). I've tried with the cooperve .pit file, tried with the bootloader. I've turned off my antivirus. I've taken the SIM and micro SD cards out of my phone (I've tried taking the battery out as well, but then my drivers stop working!). I can boot into download and recovery, otherwise I'm stuck on a boot loop.
Odin has failed a couple of dozen times with different files, and sometimes just times out while initializing.
I feel like I'm running out of options - if anyone has any fresh ideas, I'd be grateful to hear them!
Thanks very much,

I had a go at your instructions. I've wiped the data and cache multiple times as you suggested, but I'd not thought of formatting /system, so I hoped it might work. It didn't - it looks like I can't wipe it... I get an error message:
Formatting /system...
Error mounting /system!
Skipping format...
Done
I remember having problems mounting /system because of the ROM which bricked my phone in the first place! Maybe that's the problem? Any thoughts on how to get round it?

Thanks again,
In case it helps anyone else following these instructions, I found the tool. Search for "multiformatter" [note spelling]. The thread is number 2012003 and is called "[TOOL] Multi Formatter [EXT4 to RFS vice versa]" - go to page 6 as Hitesh said.
Okay, so I got the tool, flashed it on my phone, formatted everything to RFS. Once it finished I went into download mode, and tried flashing stock... still no luck! I've tried different files, different versions of Odin, different USB ports and it always gets stuck at initializing and hangs.
Any thoughts? I'm really grateful for the help so far.

Just to get closure on this thread,
I continued trying everything I could to flash different versions of firmware through Odin. It was a big help to format the system in RFS, so thanks for pointing that out. After that fix, Odin was still unable to communicate with my device... but after realising that the underlying problem was now dealt with, I moved on to flashing through CWM. I didn't manage to get anything done with Odin - might be my (only!) USB cable, or my USB ports, or any of the other millions things that could go wrong with it. But I successfully flashed AndroidScream in recovery and am up and running.
Thanks again Hitesh, and also to the whole XDA community!

Hi
I am having the same problem with odin (3.7 and 1.84), its just not flashing the stock roms. I am running out of ideas and getting desperate. When you say you "formatted the system in RFS" do you mean you factory wiped your phone? If that is the case then no luck for me

A Galaxy Ace Plus is not the equivalent of GT-S5830i. They most probably don't have the same chipset either, so DON'T TRY FLASHING GT-S5830i STUFF ON YOUR GT-S7500.
Instead, seek help on the relevant forums, and Google is also your friend.

Above all, do you have the Samsung USB drivers installed?
For CWM, there is a flashable temporary CWM, and several custom kernels already have CWM as the default recovery.
