Hi
I just made an Error when recovering a softbricked i9003
Got the phone from eBay, ROM-Version was unknown. Made a flash to DDLF2, could boot, but had no Network. It was very instable and ended up in a Bootloop.
Then this happened:
- Flash to Froyo XXKB3 -> worked flawlessly, including calls.
- Flash to DDLF2, Phone doesn't boot (Screen fades to Black)
Then I tried going back to XXKB3 but now I got bootloop and in Recovery it says, that the internal SD can't be mounted and this:
movinand read fail
lfs pass open fail
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I paniced
- Then flashed KPE -> Screen fades to Black again -> more panic
Now I'm stuck with KB3: With additional PIT I get it at least to bootlooping..
All other threads that I found concerning Bootloop are focused on GB installs, but I'm still with Froyo. Do I need a Froyo bootlader? Where would I get it? Is there any solution?

I picked up my phone and had tons of force closes and could not get the phone to respond. I pulled the battery and waited. Then tried to start the phone up again and it will not get past the "rethink possible" screen. It keeps looping on that screen and will not start. I was running stock 2.3.6 rooted only with the cwm recovery.tar flashed. My phone had been working great for a month, the length that I have had it. I can still boot into cwm. I tried formating data/cache/dalvik. Phone still would not boot. I decided to erase my emmc and remove the sd card and sim card and restore my phone with odin to uckj2 and again it is still stuck on the "rethink possible" screen. Any help is greatly appreciated.

go into download mode and flash again
There seems to be an ongoing problem with our cwm recovery. This has happend to many of us. To the point where even an odin stock tar flash did notnresolve it. What you need to do is flash thebstock recovery tar...then boot into stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Then boot back into the rom you have. And use rom manager to flash the tmobile samsung galaxy s2 cwm recovery. That will fix your problem. I know of 4 others who have had the same issue
As well as myself and we were all able to recover from it. Using the steps i mentioned.

Silver03wrx: is the problem that this CWM was written for the T-Mobile T989 and not the I727 Skyrocket?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Most likely.

Thanks silver03wrx! Worked like a charm!
ok. the phone will not completely boot into a rom (stock or custom). but i have wiped all data, cache, dalvik MANY times, i have flashed stock kernel and rom from samsung. this will start to load the 4G LTE boot animation and just hangs there all night. i have tried the [ROOT] VRALEC Bootchain - Allows us to Odin a custom recovery method and flashed a stock rooted rom also, just either hangs at the 4glte boot screen or just reboots over and over never getting passed the samsung logo at initial power up.
I have tried beanstown, i have tried everything i can seem to find on the forums. same 2 outcomes. I am using ODIN, and i have never had issues with this before (usually test something out every 2-3 days tops).
is there a chance somehow my partition table is all screwed up? i am lost with ideas at the moment.
lol. has this scared everyone off?
does any one have a stock backup of the NANDROID from their phone? i would be great if they could hook me up as i am in desperate need of one.
bump for ANYONE with any ideas on this first post
did you make a back-up? if not, download root66 to your computer and ODIN to that, if you can get into download mode

i can get into download mode, and i have used odin to do root66. reboot and same thing happens and hangs. also flashed stock kernel.
I do not have my backup because either it has erased my internal sd card, or it is not accessing it.
I have flashed my GT-i9003 back to Ginger bread from Jelly bean. and after flashing it successfully i get into a boot loop, and after that i get into the recovery mode and try to wipe data/factory reset my phone i get this error. i dont know what to do next. ive instaling the cfroot kernel and tried restoring my backups but im still stuck at boot loop and i cant do the wipe data or factory rest and still it shows the error.

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 !!!!

Hi Guys,
I tried to flash my Stock Firmware (JPJV6 ) recovery 3e , Gingerbread 2.3.3 in GT-i9000 using odin 3 v 3.07 . I downloaded 'one file' firmware for my device from samsung-updates website.
Then i flashed the 'one file' keeping it in PDA with NO PIT & Repartition-Unchecked...Successfully it flashed and rebooted .
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.
Thanks,
Mohammed Shahid

So I updated to ICS v30a using KDZ from LG. Then I tried to root it with "Root with Restore by Bin4ry" but it didn't work so I had no choice but to flash wkpark's boot with TWRP. The bootloader and recovery flashed just fine, but when I try to boot to ICS, I was given with a black screen after the silver LG logo. So I went to TWRP and wiped System and Data then installed the CM10 WalkmanROM. I got into CM10 just fine. I connected to WiFi and downloaded a nightly update for CM10. When it finished downloading, a popup said if I want to update now and reboot to recovery. I said yes to the popup. Then my O3D shuts down and doesn't boot again. I removed the battery and reinserted it then went to TWRP, I tried to flash the CM10 update manually and it said it Failed to flash. I looked at log, it said failed to mount /system. So I rebooted and went on with normal boot, thinking that WalkmanROM still works. Instead of getting to WalkmanROM, it went to TWRP. I rebooted again and the same thing happened. So I went again and flash wkpark's boot but instead of TWRP, I tried CWM. But my O3D doesn't get to fastboot, it just gives a black screen. I tried to go to fastboot manually, but instead, just gives me the silver LG logo.
Please I need urgent help. I use my O3D for a school project.

Thanks for your help, but I already solved it before you replied.
I figured out why I wasn't booting to fastboot. I didn't disconnect the USB cable and reconnect it, that's why it just gives me a black screen. I was using wkpark's boot, I just used fastboot to reflash the original GB bootloader using OS_Hacking's tool and just downgraded to v21e using SmartFlash and BOOTV21E.rar. Everything is fixed now. The system partition is now mountable again. I may seem like a noob, but I have had too many softbricks with my O3D ever since I got it as a gift, so there are times that I can do this on my own. There are times where I panic too much and post on xda for support but then before I got a response I already fixed it. Like this thread here: [urlhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2197660[/url]
Anyways, thanks again Karim.
(For the ones who will ask, yes i have read a lot of threads with this problem and tryed almos all of them, and i even read about other phones with this problem so the point is fix this.)
Hi,
I write cuz i got this problem in mi sisters galaxy i9003 SL.
Shi is a basic user, just use the phone for calls and whatsapp. It had Pou and go Locker installed and nothing else.
The phone got slow so we decided to do "factory reset", but it doesnt formated and keep the user information even programs, so decided to flash the phone so it would be forced to wipe the data, i'vr got the same phone and flashed it a lot of times.
Flashed with odin 1.85 the PIT (latona) and no problem
Then XXKPE 4 Files, and it seems no problem, but it didnt restart so got into bootloop.
So re flashed XXKPE.
Here is when the problem starts, the phone got into a strange mode, at last i never saw it before, i ve got the android robot saying something about kernel with a loading bar, i let the phone work til it got discarged, but when i turned it on again i ve got the problem(E:format_volume: rfs format failed). Then the phone stopped charging. i manage to enter recovery mode but for my surprise it was the normal recovery from samsung and i flashed clockworkmod and even tested it. So i re flashed clockworkmod and it works, but if i flash anything it comes back to samsung recovery mode. i still can get to download mode.
I have tryed the following:
Re flash room stock entel chile ------> problem
Re flash XXKPE 4 archivos---------> problem
Re Flash clockworkmod-------> works but if i flash anithing it comes to samsung recovery again.
Re flash Kernel-------> problem
I have read about the dead memory of the phone an take it back with a SD card, i dont want to sorry. Here the SD card costs more than the phone.
So i want to try tosolve this. not a very advanced user, but i can learn quickly.
I'm open to ideas.
Thanks.

so what you are saying is every time you try to flash something... even your stock firmware via odin the phone just resets to its orignal state (i.e E:format_volume: rfs format failed).what I see from here is your device system data has been completely formatted but failed to flash any firmware.... try with memory card and sim card removed and flash KPE(all files)... there isn't any need to flash any kernel on stock so just avoid it...
follow these steps
*Get samsung USB drivers and install on the pc/laptop.
*Download ODIN and the KPE files.(for I9003 only)
*Connect your phone in Download mode.
*ODIN will detect the device and flash the stock.
*If your flash was successfull you will get your phone back in running condition.
GOODLUCK

The internal SD might be broken like mine.
Try boot into recovery, then adb shell, execute and paste output in this thread again:
Code:
ls -l /dev/block/mmcblk*
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk1
There are several ways it can get broken, and i know a few ways to customize firmwares to workaround them.
i faced this problem in I9000 & I9003 and solution is .....
get memory card and format it on yr pc
make file system is fat32
when done put sd card into phone
flash the phone with pit file
make sure to mark repartion
and when done
yr phone work just fine
P>>S
never get out this sd card from phone
or it will go to loop mode again
try and post result here
