[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ANdrww:
Hello,

I've been successfully rooted my Galaxy S (i9000) since the first day I got it. Installed CM10, Slim ICS and other ROM's with no problem. A few days ago I tried to flash the latest (beta if I'm not mistaking) of Slim ICS and somehow everything got screwed. Sadly I don't have a Titanium Backup.

The problem is with the internal memory I guess, as I can use an external SD card (The one that you place in the slot). I've tried everything from Ezboot, Darky ROM, pit files, and various stock kernels and ROMs with no success. I've also tried flashing a dbdata file with no success. From what I've read, the partitioning seems to be off, and that *could* be the problem. The errors I've got are:

When trying to wipe data/factory reset:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

While trying to install any rom (CM/Slim ICS):

E: Error in /sdcard/file_name.zip - Where file_name is the name of the rom archive.

Status (0)

Installation aborted.

The one thing I did not try is the ADB stuff for which I haven't found a proper guide. I've also tried various fixes from previous threads and I still haven't got it to work. Any help or pointers will be much appreciated. Thank you.

PS: I can enter recovery and download modes. Is the phone bricked?

Bump...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackherted:
I had something similar and I found that when booting my phone what helps is keeping the external SD card outside and only after some time putting it back in...

the way I check it is that I have direct call to contacts in my Widgetsoid notification widget and only after they show the image of the person and not only a blank square then I enter my SD card.

but It always doing problems with my ringtones and making them Unkown so every reboot I have to rearrange them.

You could also check it by using apps that don't run with SD card... like camera, gallery, Waze and such.

Hope it works!

Here is a full guide on how to unroot and back to official stock for galaxy ace plus GT-S7500. it is useful also if you soft brick your phone​

!!!BE SURE THAT YOU ARE FLASHING THE RIGHT FIRMWARE FOR YOUR VARIANT!!!​

Do it on your own responsibility! if you follow this guide properly u will be on the safe side ;)​

Before we proceed, make sure:

1-You have installed your Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 USB drivers on your PC (the easiest way is to install Kies).

2-You need to enable USB debugging mode which is deactivated by default.

3-Your Ace Plus S7500 should have 70-80% charge remaining.

4-Your Ace Plus S7500 should be factory unlocked.

5-Backup your important data like Call logs, SMS and other data stored in phone memory in case if anything goes wrong, your data is not hurt.

6-Make sure that kies program is not running & disable antivirus.

This guide is only for Galaxy Ace Plus S7500. So don’t bother to try it on other devices.

How to do it:

Step 1) Turn OFF your mobile and go to Download Mode by pressing and holding the Volume Down + Home Buttons together for few seconds followed by Power button until you see Android logo, then volume up.

Step 2) Now open ODIN on your PC and connect your Galaxy Ace Plus S7500 to your computer.

Step 3) Once your phone is successfully connected to your PC, the ID:COM box on ODIN will turn yellow and will show the COM port number.

Step 4) unzip the downlowded file. u will get a Home.tar file.

Step 5) click on pda (in odin) and choose the file "Home.tar"

Step 6) check "Auto Reboot" and "F. Reset Time" options and make sure that

"Re-Partition" is unchecked

Step 7) Click on Start button in ODIN window to start the installation process. The process will take few minutes to complete.

DO NOT UNPLUG USB CABLE WHILE EXECUTING THE PROCESS, YOU MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE!

Step 8) When the installation is completed, you read a green "PASS". your phone will restart (first boot will take a longer time so don't panic) :good:

Note:

If you have a corrupted partition table (Odin says: "there is no pit partition" or "Re-Partition operation failed"), flash pit file (attached) (put it in pit window) with your firmware, in this case "Re-Partition" must be marked.

Note 1:

if you want to reset your binary counter, use triangle away before unrooting. get the app from here

It is recommended to make hard reset after flashing to have a fresh official firmware ​

Odin troubleshooting:

If Odin accidentally gives you "fail" try the following:

- Repeat procedure.

- Make sure that all actions of Kies are disabled from task manager.

- Change usb port.

- Try another usb cable (make sure it is the original).

- Try another Odin version.

- Uninstall and re-install driver.

- Try another computer.

for what purpose do you want to unroot?

like if warranty purpose then you will have to flash stock rom...

Hi there, could you post the firmware for Canada (Rogers)? I've checked SamMobile and there isn't one for canada.

Btw, I don't know if this matters but I got my phone from Malaysia and am using in Canada. It's been working alright before my phone went soft brick and hence why I'm trying to reflash the firmware (warranty isn't covered in Canada).

The downside is that it is rooted so i can't take it to warranty until i remove the root/yellow triangle/reset custom binary.
[Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus S7500] samersh72:
Dont use pit file it seems that u dont have corrupted partition.

Maybe a bad download of the firmware. It start with downloading system and i think that boot image must start first. Redownload firmware. Make sure that kies is disabled from task manager. If you have another computer, use it.

if you can't try it on another pc, try :

1) uninstall kies completely

2) unisnstall usb drivers

3) reboot the pc

4) connect your phone in download mode to your pc.

5) let your pc install usb drivers

6) start odin and flash

7) if still you get the same error download a different verison of the official rom and try flashing.

don't select that Re-partition option when you going to flash roms through ODIN.

Is it stuck in the logo or is it rebooting over & over? For the second option, just turn your phone off (Long press the on/off button), then go to recovery mode (press volume+, vulume- and home button at the same time), and then wipe first the cache partition before wiping the data (factory reset).

If it's really stuck, try flashing the firmware again. Make sure your phone model is GT-S7500 only and that "Re-partiton" is not checked before flashing.
