Hi,
I was flashing XXKPE and everything goes well. I goes in recovery mode and find the following message :
_ can't access to '/system/csc/SER/system/'
I don't see it at the first so I tried to wipe data/factory reset and it show these messages :
_ Formating /dbdata
_ E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10/
With this error the smartphone go in "boot loop". I've search about these messages in google and i've found a topic for I9000 where they say that it can be fixed flashing dbdata.rfs. I've tried some stock rom (XXKPE/XXKQ/XXKB1/XXKB3/XXJL9) and none of them has this file. someone can help me? Or saying in which stock rom I can find it or taking it from your smartphone and put in fileserver/hotfile or megaupload. Thank you.
Which steps did you follow? Try doing everything: do a re-partition first (PIT, probably you need to remove the battery to shut the phone down and put it again in download mode) and then flash the other three files (PDA,PHONE,CSC).
I do like always using heimdall and the same procedure that works everytime. Go in download mode, flash the files about XXKPE and everygo without any problem. Ok go in recovery mode to make the changes and do the wipe but I've found that problems that i've spoke before.
Ok I flashed XXKPE and XXKPQ ignoring the error and I've installed Skin1980's CWM . Now when I do wipe data he say : "Error mounting /datadata !" and skip his format. The cellphone go in loop at the boot like before.
Did you check re-partition? I've never tried heimdall, but I think this problem should be solved with a proper flash (with a re-partition).
I don't know any other way to solve this problem.
==
edit:
By the way I don't think skin1980's CWM is compatible with KPQ. Try this
I assumed you saw this thread in the i9000 forum? forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751827
Try to flash a stock ROM again to see if this happens.
Yes I've checked the repartition. Thank you anyway
Well, I've installed amit.bagaria's CWM and using it seems that i can perform wipe operation but he spoke about /datadata/ formating and didn't spoke about dbdata. Everything goes well so i thought to install vurrutRom (it's for XXKPQ) and the installation procedure goes well not even a problem. Perfect!!! No it seems to go in loop again (I've waited about 10 minutes). Mhhh ok he format everything and go to loop.. try to install XXKPE. I do it and it show up the first message
"can't access to '/system/csc/SER/system/'"
etc...
Ok using amit.bagaria's CWM taking root permission etc it seems to format /datadata but he can't mount it and even /sdcard...have anyone some suggestions ?
@!n0x : in that link they speak about mount a file .rfs that you've in your PC on your PC and not how to mount in your phone. Thank you anyway
Have you tried manually mounting it via CWM? Try the CWM from the Universal CF-Root by ganesh (if I'm not wrong)
[SOLVED] I've installed XXKB3 and every goes well . Thank you for help/suggestion etc.
Cereal, where did you find this rom?
I'm facing the very same soft-brick problem on the I9003. I've downloaded more than 5 different roms, but none of them have the dbdata.rfs...
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
My SGT 7.7 seems brick after I took it out of my bag. It gets stuck and stays on the boot screen where says "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" for a few seconds, and then just keep rebooting.
It is able to go into the Download Mode when I press "Power+Vol-", but no response when I press "Power+Vol+". I tried to flash all kinds of firmware with Odin, but nothing work.
I also tried to flash it with .pit, PDA, PHONE and CSC. I got this screen and then stopped and Odin says "Now Writing, Please wait about 2 minutes."
I appreciate your help!
same problem here, but caused from rom-manager! did nothing more than using the "reboot into recovery" option, i did NOT flash anything with rom-manager before!
download mode works, recovery works, but i can flash what i want, after turning the device on the "samsung 7.7" stays for about 30sec, then it reboots ad infinitum!
any ideas?
i'm within the one week were i can exchange the device without any problems, but i want to fix it myself if possible!
thx in advance!

I have seen similar symptoms on mine. it turned out to be corrupt /data filesystem. I had to use the sammy 3e recovery wipe data/factory reset option. And then reflash with odin.
(CWM could not fix this filesystem problem.)
(areyou sure rom manager is compatible with the different partitions on the 7.7)
Remember you will loose all user data !!!!!

again thx,
but the problem is seems to be "deeper" than only a corrupt /data!
The tab doesnt boot further then "samsung 7.7", if data is corrupt then
at least android will load (bootanimation) and go into a bootloop in some stage!
Also, I didn't change or install or flash anything in rom-manager, I "only" used the reboot function!
After reflashing the device with repartition and HongKong.pit I think I messed up the partitions totally, so I would really need the PIT for 6810 (6800 has different partition layout) to repair this!
But as it seems no one has this PIT or is willing to provide it,
so I ordered an new tab which will arrive in the next hours, and return this one within the next days!
Where did you find the PIT file ? You may just destoried the partition. God bless you!

I have a familiar problem....
I have not flashed or rooted my device - it is exactly how it came out of the box...
One morning while using it it froze - I did are reset by holding the power button down and then let it reboot but when it did it can not get past the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" screen.
Can get it into download mode, but if I go to recovery mode then all I get it a headline saying "Manual Mode" which grabs some manual .apk files and then just goes back into the boot mode with the "Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7" screen.
Any ideas?
Had a Galaxy Tab Original and got the Galaxy SII and have mod them to death - just though for this one I would leave it original and enjoy the OTA updates as the were delievered - especially considering ICS in a matter of days
If you can boot into download mode you can call this a soft brick..
dont use ROM manager and install clockworkmod from that, incompatibility of cwm recovery will brick your phone..
Use odin only on PDA slots, you dont need repartition or pit files..it seems you got a corrupt recovery..

yes, that is what he means.
Also, if you still have trouble after the first flash, you may need to go into samsung 3e recovery and do a data wipe/factory reset. Then flash again. Since these are non-wipe firmwares, simple flashing may not clear a corrupt filesystem.
Obviously you will lose all user data!

thx, but as i said i DID NOT FLASH OR INSTALL ANYTHING with rom-manager, i only used the option "reboot into recovery"!
and i used odin to try to unbrick my device (i flashed a dozen roms as well as the sbl etc.), without any success. also, till now nobody has provided a 16GB PIT for 6810, therefore i returned the tab and grabbed a new one!

Im sorry , my answer cannot solve your problem.. You say your device "stuck on Samsung logo" right? your recovery and download mode seem ok, from my experience its because /data corrupt or something crash on your filesystem..
If you can go to recovery menu, do factory reset,..
I cannot help you with pit.file coz i actually dont have the device right now..

I've experienced a similar problem with corrupt /data and couldn't overcome it.
How did you use Samsung recovery when you had CWM recovery flashed?

You either get it from a full flash of stock firmware, or make your own tar with just recovery.img in it (extracted from stock). And flash with odin in the pda.
It is handy to be able to switch recoveries. CWM doesn't seem to match the 3e data wipe/factory reset.
The problem was:
I was playing a game, in the middle of it the Tab reset, I've never had it reset. Then it rebooted to the Samsung Tab 7.7 logo.
I thought, I'm lucky, made a CWM backup. So tried to restore the CWM backup. When the restore got to /data the tab rebooted again, i.e. something was messed with it.
So got stock firmware, flashed it from PC odin, flashed with success. But rebooted to the logo again.
Tried to get into the stock recovery, but it would only show "Updating..." something, I don't remember anymore, but the stock recovery wouldn't boot. Flashed it a couple of times, same result. Had to take the Tab back to the store...
Am kinda afraid to mess with it now, since I don't want it to happen.
So am wondering what to do if the same happens, or just forget CWM and flash stock recovery.img just to be safe?
I had similar issues after hard power-off [long hold power button]. Confirmed with adb into insecure cwm recovery that /data was corrupt. It explained why my restores stopped at /data.
Cwm data wipe, or format data did not help.
I flashed the stock 3e recovery.img in a tar with odin.
3e data wipe/factory reset. Reflash whole stock firmware with odin.
Check system boots ok.
Reflash cwm, then do restore ok.
I have seen stock 3e recovery fail to start properly. It seemed to be related to files/directories on the external sd card. It came up and said something like 'manual mode', 'updating'.
I tried clearing cache and hidden.
I know I deleted at least tmp_sec_fota directory off the external sd card, maybe someting to do with fota is upsetting our tabs from time to time.
Yep, exactly, that's it, it was "Manual mode" and "Updating", same symptoms, I couldn't get past it.
So what you're saying, I had a MicroSD in it, and that's why it was stuck at this? Not sure if I had an SD in it, but I flashed stock like three times, and then still couldn't enter 3e recovery, all the time had this "manual mode" come up...
Thanks for the guide of what you did.
Am downloading the latest Thai firmware now, to extract the stock recovery, so that I'm ready just in case.
Do you just tar the recovery.img and use that for flashing if necessary? No special permissions, nothing?
Sorry, not as clear cut as that... I did three things, cleared cache, cleared hidden, and
then started deleting files on sd. It is possible the problems are in multiple locations,
It is also possible that multiple attempts have an effect.
I personally feel I need both stock 3e and insecure cwm [and odin and adb] to be able to recover this tab. The broken 3e/reboot was my worst experience on this so far.
Use linux tar or the tab's busybox tar, to create an uncompressed tar with recovery.img as the only file. Do not use 7zip to create the tar, it didn't work for me (although it works fine to extract from the stock).

You mean you did this in CWM recovery? Because I hastily flashed the stock ROM when it wouldn't boot, and then I couldn't get into the recovery anymore and there was no way to flash CWM recovery from PC Odin, or is there?
SD you mean internal? Since with external you just pull it out...
This was my worst experience as well, and want to be ready if it ever happens again.
So to sum it up. If the /data is messed up, should we do the following?
1. In CWM recovery clear cache, clear hidden.
2. Flash stock e3 recovery.
3. In stock recovery wipe everything.
4. Flash stock ROM.
5. Boot.
6. Flash CWM recovery.
7. Restore backup.
please i have the same problem,where i find the stock e3 recovery?
thanks Davp!

Had the exact same problem... Worked perfectly, and I had no faith in it working. Very useful to read this post.
I'm going to summarize my experience:
1. Repartition with PIT file (take out battery, put it back in, and again to downloading mode with combination buttons)
2. Flash XXKPE
3. Then flash the gingerbread firmware you desire. DONE !!!!

Now it stopped in recovery mode with this E:failed to mount /dbdata....& E: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
So when i reboot the device it everytime goes to Samsumg S Logo and reboots again (BOOTLOOP).
Please provide me solution to get back my stock firmware.

somekind of that error
try to flash with odin 1.83
it's using MTD partition layout, first flash will format your phone partition and reboot itself.(based on CM10A4 instruction)
After that flash again with the same file, then flash gapps.

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was about to install a new rom (cm-11.0.0-GT-S5670-beni) on my Galaxy FIT , so I did a factor reset , then installed CWM 5 and then upgraded it to CWM 6.
after this I chose Install from sdcard and i chose zip file of ROM from SDCard. all fine up to here, but after installation is complete, the phone could not boot correctly, it booted to CWM again and again i powerd it off,reboot,factory reset, ... but was unable to get rid of CWM. finally i decided to format /System,So i did and the problem occurred here; now i can't boot to anything! even CWM or stock recovery or etc.
I used Odin to install CWM5 / CWM4 again and again (successfully done) but nothing changed.
fortunately I can get into download mode and Odin detects my phone but not Kies.
is there anyway to get my phone back to life?!
Thx...
