Thanks for your help. I would like to use the original froyo ROM, I am tired of custom ROM's, they are giving me headache :O. So if you know a stable froyo rom, without this nasty problem of the internal memory, I'd be glad if you send me. Without bootloader preferentially.

Try link 2 sd

well, my custom rom(Purumod) has 183 mb without any help of app2sd and others......(Not advertising, you can try it if you want)
[Galaxy 3 General] Ava.tar:
its actually a very good rom. :D

well thanks.....u tried it? :D
[Galaxy 3 General] pchenna143:
check your internal and external memory for .exe file virus with esfile explorer
[Galaxy 3 General] ahsanaimad:
One simple thing - DEODEX :D

When you deodex the dalvik cache goes to /data for /system/app and ../framework also.. I am on ODEX and it's good enough.. PS - You need to odex manually or download a pure stock ROM or some odexed custom ROM..

IF THIS IS NOT THE PROBLEM PLEASE CONTACT ME or SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN HELP ;)

My i9003 is stuck @ samsung logo and keeps restarting.

Whhenever i am flashing with xxkpe or any xxk** i am getting these error in recovery mode

cant access to /system/csc/SER/system

E:failed to mount /data

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p3

Because of this flash back to froyo 2.2 DXKB2 from samfirmware and it shows no error in recovery mode but still same result stuck @ samsung logo and restarting.

Now what can i do to bring my phone back ?:(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] geekynoob:
uninstall all drivers and install android drivers from android sdk ,

reinstall KIES..latest version...thn install drivers for samsung again...

then flash a rom try and use a bettr data cable..sammy is really crappy..else..Service center.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:
happened to me when i flashed XXKPE >> DXKP9 then CF root

all i did was just reflash XXKPE >> XXKPQ

when you flashed XXKPE before you flashed other firmware? did it boot up in that firmware (XXKPE)?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
Cable is working fine no probs with that odin is detecting aswell

Other than froyo whatever i am flashing i am getting this error :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:
soyou mean it works ok on froyo?

interesting ...

hmmmm, would it be possible if you go to stock froyo firmware of the phone when you bought it? then try to use KIES to possibly upgrade you to gingerbread

or a better idea, go back to stock froyo firmware when you bought it,bring to service center and tell them kies not updating it on your pc and ask them to update it for you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
No its stuck @ logo in froyo too :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:

Please i need others options from experts :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:
did you include pit file and checked repartition box when you flashed DXKF1 ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
Yes i did.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
This the files i got in DXKF1
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:
so you are on DXKF1 right now?

i hope your problem is not hardware related though somehow its leaning on that direction

after you flashed DXKF1 try to flash DXKP9 which would be gingerbread, its a one package file so you dont need to put pit file and you should not put a check on repartition box when flashing DXKP9

after DXKP9 is installed, and you experiencing the same loop install this

http://d-h.st/r4r it is vurrut kernel v8, but you should be on DXKP9 first because cfroot for that kernel and kernel is for gingerbread

after you flashed dxkp9 and experience same loop

just flash that kernel as PDA in odin , also dont check repartition box

after flashing kernel, go into recovery ... wipe cache and also wipe dalvik cache

lets see how it goes from there
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
Yeah on DXKF1 now.

Downloading DXKP9, lets see :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
No success :( Again @ Samsung and restarting
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
I have a card reader can i copy something into SD and then update from recovery which is my last hope :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
I guarantee this will work. Try flashing XXKPE first then flash DXKP9 or anyfirmware you want. Tried updating my sister's phone (formerly mine) and that's what i did a while ago.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ndmuni:
I have exactly the same problem and been trying for 2 days, all possible or recommended solutions but to no avail what we have is the hardware problem viz the internal memory chip if it was an sdcard we may be able to change it but it isn't so off to the agent we go i'm afraid.

I have tried to use CWM to install from sdcard, made me happy for a moment when it started flashing but alas instead of rebooting into rom it went back to CWM which says can't mount data blah blah blah. Must ve done all these 100 times GIVING UP!!! No more Samsung for me I ve SGS(no 3 button combo) which is hard brick going to try the mod this weekend to see if i can revive it,:( at least my skyrocket is still up and about:p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] noypi_ako:
did you wipe cache and dalvik cache ?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
Yeah wipe cache and dalvik from advanced menu :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
All combinations is done and the same result :mad::(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Have you even tried to boot up xxkpe before flashing dxkp9?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
Yes brother, i have waited couple of minutes and allowed couple of restarted before i flashed dxkp9 :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
So xxkpe booted without a problem?? Hmmm, try flashing it twice. For me i can't flash any other firmware without flashing xxkpe first.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] androidn00bie:
No its not booting.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] rogeranthonyines:
I usually wipe cache dalvik
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Did you flash xxkpe twice?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ndmuni:
I spoke to the service centre regarding this problem and i m bringing my phone to the tomorrow, they say can tell me what the problem is whilst i wait there. Been flashing a thousand time last 5 days thinking i can overcome it looks like service centre best way. At the same time sending in my HARD BRICK Galaxy s as well.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I will post the result when sc identifies it.

damn.. i'm having the same problem too right now.. i flashed this ext4 partition thing and i got stuck in the samsung logo.. i flashed back to XXKPQ but still stuck at the logo.. any help guys? i read the previous posts and said that he should flash to XXKPE, should i do the same?

---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

okay.. nevermind.. i took out the battery, boot (still on samsung logo).. took it out again and then it finally booted till i got to the home screen! :D but i'm flashing XXKPQ again just to make sure :)

Been suffering bootloop for the past one month, tried the miui custom rom. Didn't help. Currently testing the stock rom xxkpq (rooted)...let's see. The customer care centre was of no help.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Wahaha123:
DUDE BRING IT TO THE SAMSUNG SERVICE CENTRE!!!!!!!

again, it is the main board that is faulty. i had called the samsung service center this morning regarding my phone which was sent there to fix the same problem. they said the will change the main board. some service centres have main boards for the phones but others, still needs to order from abroad. unluckily the service center in here does not have it and will wait for the main board to be delivered to the philippines, which will take a bit more time to fix.

odin will not detect the phone because the problem is between the main board and the usb storage (internal memory...). same thng happened to me.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ephraim:
Can you please state what you did my friend?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] anplugged:
is it like this..? if so, I managed to revive my I9003 using this method by ahmedjust in the thread he started titled SOLVED i9003 Internal SD Card Unavailable.. since then I can use my phone flawlessly as good as before.. No restarting and No data lost no more.. The fact is Sammy I9003 device internal memory can easily corrupted and unreadable out of sudden.. and because of that, the most secure and safest way for us is to use our external SD and swap it as external using method available..

Guys, u all can see my post here and here before I can solved my device problem.. Hope it will be useful to those who have the same issues.. or PM me and I'll try my best to guide you through the process..

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kickass123:
hi masters I am getting the same problem like this & it started last night when i decided to flash my samsung SL using odin. My phone is stuck on samsung screen & rebooting vice versa. I just want to know regarding clearing dalvin cache i dont see this when I go to recovery mode. Will this be visible for those phones that are not rooted Btw before my phone got messed up its not rooted. So far I tried to flash my phone via odin using xxkph (single file on pda option in odin) but it does same thing.I also tried flashing using dxkp9 and its same. Currently I am downloading DXKB2(Froyo for asian) to test it. I hope this work...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hungcuonglth:
Factory reset. That's all
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] kickass123:
e

just want to share updates....... i've downloaded xxkpe... & followed this.

1. Download and run odin.

2. Check Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time.

3. Click PIT button and select this file: latona_20110114.pit

4. Put your phone into download mode: Press Volume down + OK + Power.

5. Connect USB cable and the program will detect the phone's Com number.

6. Click Start button to download the PIT file to phone.

and it works..... i'ved tried 2x though @ first it did not work.... when i tried the 2nd time it work.:o
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] hungcuonglth:
You dont need to follow this. Just put the PDA into tab PDA, connect your phone in Download mode, press Start. You may get bootloop, but dont worry. Factory reset. It's always working

froyo seems to work

Froyo 2.2.1 has been working well so far, no bootloops since installation. The patient is still under observation :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dockochu:

Froyo didn't help either. So I think I'll give up. Christening my phone to a status similar to ipod touch, meaning it can't be used as a phone anymore. Everything else is okay, I'll have to switch it on when I need a camera, game etc

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chongns:

if yes, you properly lost the EFS partition which store you imei.

no choose but SC it is.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dockochu:
ehh

What I meant was that I could no more rely on my phone as a primary phone. Since it'll bootloop and drain battery to death whenever I am not away. The phone actually works well, with full functionality and then suddenly (randomly) it reboots and loops at the samsung logo. During this bootloop if I reinsert the battery, the phone starts up normally.

Flashed the phone a trillion times!! Tried every stock roms around, tried custom ones like poseidon, MIUI...none helped. So finally switched back to my six-years-old-still-bubbly-n73.

I now switch on my galaxy sl whenever I need to play or use the camera :)
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] saywhatt:
Did you try froyo? Or xxkpq (it's a very stable fw)..

Flashed a trillion times and havent fixed the bootloops yet? Mmmm.. Maybe it's a hardware thing?

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dockochu:
Tried swaping internal sd

'Internal SD card removed unexpectedly' was the error that always appeared prior to the automatic restarts. So I tried swapping sd cards thinking that would work.

Gah..it didn't. I think it's a problem with the hardware.

Conclusion: I may never buy a Samsung Android phone again
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] dockochu:
Another attempt (TUBE LIGHT)

I think the phone running into sleep mode is the basic problem. If my memory speaks right things were normal with my phone till 3 to 4 months back when I uninstalled QuickHeal antivirus and advanced task killer apps, thinking them to be useless.

Well, now I just re installed both, hope that they stay in memory and prevent the internal sd error from popping up again.:confused:

it's the motherboard

I am almost certain that it is the motherboard that is corrupted. This problem appears to be universal, majority of the i9003 models suffer this. About to enquire how much a new motherboard costs.

I feel that legal action should be taken against Samsung for this treason, I'm not joking.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] ynshetty:
It is the mother board problem... I too faced the same issue but luckily it was my last day of warantee....they replaces with a 16 gb motherboard but I am scared that if it happened once it ll happen again the next year...its about INR8000 here without the warantee which is a rip off...if u are in warantee,u lucky or else bad luck :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] oz42:
It is the motherboard. I asked Samsung, they did not help. Bought a new phone instead of a new mobo.

Funny is that the error occurs only.when the phone.is idle. I tried.baking the mobo.at 90 °C, but that did not change anything. Perhaps a higher temperature would help, but I am afraid that the plastic.parts will.melt then.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Skander1998:
You probably won't face it anymore..

They are changing them with no questions asked because they probably knew they did something wrong and sold defect pieces.

Nope, not the majority, you know how many devices were sold? and you know why all of the people asking for help here have 1/2 posts? because if you face a problem, you search google and get here, yes they seem "too many", but thousands of other people are not facing the problem.

You just have to live with going to the service center once in your life to get the motherboard changed, (You can get a 16GB motherboard for free).
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] aymnahmd:
Same problem since Febuary

I don't have a warranty, so I'm living with this problem. It needs a new motherboard.

The Samsung Service Center said the motherboard will cost the price of a new phone .

I won't buy any Samsung Device anymore

Hey guys. I want to share a new launcher. Its called lightning launcher. It is free in the market.

Guys this launcher is a must try. I have found this launcher very useful and great. And i recommend this launcher specially for low-end devices. Its really Awesome!

I have a habit of changing themes and launchers every day or even several times in a day. But after installing this launcher,i have not switched to any other launcher since one week. Now i have even uninstalled launcher(which "was" my all time favourate)

Market link for the launcher:here

After installing this launcher u will need to install lightning launcher setup app which is also free in the market.

Market link:here

U will also need to install LLW any widget app to use the widgets or u can use only lightning launcher widgets

Market link:here

Lightning launcher is of only 53 kb, setup app is of 192 kb and any widget app is of 17 kb. So even after combining all these apps the total memory is below 500 kb, which is really amazing.

There are lots of customization options available. You can experiment and setup the launcher according to your need:)

I don't think messing around with the partition is a good idea. But if you are a pro, that's what Android is for.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sikiduck:
Well, yes and no. You have x GB of internal storage. That will never change. The deal is that you can only use a set amount of that x GB for apps and data. Without going into that much detail, though, a majority of that x GB is partitioned like this:

/system – x GB

/data – x GB

/cache – x MB/GB

/data is the only partition you can actually use for apps and data. So, to answer your question, you can make that /data partition larger. This requires root, though, as you suspected.

Resizing the partitions is much more advanced, though, and is not as simple as just installing an app. Whether you have a custom or stock ROM, make sure you leave yourself enough space where it needs to be.

So can I custom partitions my phone u may ask. At the moment it does not seem to be any tools or mod for doing this on N7000. But u can google "custom mtd partitions android" (or galaxy note).

But its not something I recommend but if u feel comfortable for doing this (if u find any ways to custom partitions) despite all the warnings that may appear on the guide, you can just go ahead and custom partition :)
