Hey guys,

Right now I am in download mode, ODIN is stuck at the step <ID:0/006> Sbl.bin for over 20 minutes with no progress. There is no progress bar on my download mode screen on the phone either. I have tried restarting ODIN and battery pulling (maybe a bad idea..) and still the same thing. I can still go to recovery mode, however..

In clockwork recovery I am getting the error:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:
When I try and do anything to access my internal sd.

I can no longer boot into recovery, only download.


Man this is frustrating. I was trying to update my firmware through kies and I guess I learned my lesson trying to use that buggy software. I digress, basically after I updated the firmware the phone would boot to the Galaxy S logo flashing and the screen goes black, the buttons remain lit up. I thought the phone needed some time to process so I went to bed. I got up and its still in the same state.

At that point I tried to flash I9000BVJJPD|2.2|2010 December from the official firmware thread. That made it worse I would only see the boot screen flash over and over.

I am pretty scared that this phone is toast, I can scarcely afford to get a new one and this one is still not even paid off on the contract. Ahhh please if anyone can help I really need it here Crying

I think I am making some progress actually..

If anyone has adb from the sdk and drivers working could you please post the output from the following command:

adb shell cat /proc/partitions

I need to see what the numbers should be so I can remount my sdcard

You don't need adb at all to flash a new ROM.
1. Remove your external SD card if you have.
2. Charge the battery fully up.
3. Flash a ROM using Odin or Heimdall.

You will have to use the 3 button combo!!

Thank you for your reply, however my problem goes beyond just flashing to fix it. I have tried flashing multiple roms and still get the same error. Somehow the mount point for my internal sd card have become corrupted, so even if I do flash a new ROM I continue to get the following error message:

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"

After a bit LOT of research I have figured out how I would remount the SD without being able to remove the hardware as it is inside the phone. The command above that I asked someone to run will list the values for the nodes and # of blocks that I should use to remount the card, which I have been unable to find through google.

at that point I should be able to use the 'mknod' command to remake the block device files and mount the sd card to those, but the phone won't register them without the correct nodes and number of blocks.

Hope that explains it Happy If nothing else I'm learning a lot of linux commands and can hopefully be of assistance when other people have problems along these lines.

tl;dr - Flashing is unfortunately not working, I'd still like to see the output of

adb shell cat /proc/partitions

from a working phone just to see if it helps me! Thanks a lot guys/gals.

When I got that (JK3 Froyo) I sent it to Samsung for repair. Since this started after you tried to update (KC1?) I don't see why you couldn't send it in through the Bell Store. Just say you tried to do the update and you got the boot loop screen.

Yeah to be perfectly honest Casz I have already called they are sending the package. But I have all weekend to play with the phone and learn what I can, so if I can somehow revive it I will have learned a lot. Honestly I'm not sure of the firmware version I was updating to, I'm still new at this android stuff hah.

I have actually managed to get back onto the phone's desktop with very limited functionality and no network connections by setting the / partition to rw instead of ro, so I'm starting to think there's a possibility this is fixable!
