Okay, so after corrupting my SD card over 12 times and replacing my phone twice I think I have found the answer.

I strongly believe that the reason we get faced with the SD corruption (The ones where it is fixable by a software reset at the service center) on our i9000m's is because we repart while flashing.

The 512,513,903 pit files might be okay on international models, but I suspect that the Canadian version uses some other partition structure.

So to keep it short here is a successful method to install froyo on the i9000m. I have flashed to froyo using this method and have been using it for over 20 days now without issues.

Make sure you get a brand new phone before flashing. If you have reparted using odin this might be useless.

Installation Steps:

1. Make sure your phone is rooted (You can root via OCLF in the market)

2. Download Rom manager and install Clockworkmod recovery (Instructions can be found here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=734166&highlight=clockwork)

3. Install Doc's froyo rom from here ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703)

Once flashed it should work fine. When the phone starts make sure you first see the I9000M screen and then it switches to the I9000 screen and then the Galaxy and then into Froyo.

I have not tried just flashing froyo using ODIN without re-parting (Maintaining factory partitions). In theory it should work, if anyone tries it let us know.

P.S. I use Doc's rom as it allows to flash via clockwork. I am not endorsing this in any way.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dcarr622:
I have personally flashed dozens of things through Odin with 512 and 803 pit, as well as tons of things through zip's like Doc's, with absolutely no problems on my Bell I9000M 16GB.

**Knocks on wood**
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
Do you lose your 850 Band doing it by this method. Please check by Activating WiFi while in your service menu (*#*#0011#*#*). You will see when you switch over from WiFi to 3G you Band should drop down to 850 from 1900.

I've tried this one.. Never repartitioned yet still had a corrupt sd in the end.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
Can you give more information on what happened.

Original ROM?

Froyo Version tried to flash to?

Which SGS ei (gt-i9000m or gt-i9000)?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killer23d:
I've re-partitioned in ODIN by flashing back to JH2 (2.1), then use Doc's ROM to 2.2. What should I do to enable 850Mhz? I already added WCDMA850 in *#2263#
[Galaxy S I9000 General] cloudrainstar:
1. UGJH2

2. I believe the one that it died on was XXJPM, after about 3 days. I've flashed XXJPH and XXJPK before that on that phone as well for a few days each, no pit/re-partition every time I flashed

3. GT-I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
Does 850Mhz Band work for you? Could you check with the above method
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
I am an Indian & have an Asian 16GB SGS. Every time & have this urge to FLASH, I just pick the pit file, nothing else, check re-partition, let the phone reboot, remove battery, re-insert, go back to download & re flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Me n 2 friends bought it together from same bell store 3 months ago.

Friend 1 :

On his 2nd sgs.

Got it replaced because internal sd got corrupted.

He was on jpk w/ repartition done

Friend 2 :

Still on his original sgs.

Stock + voodoo (aka never used odin)

Me:

On my 3rd sgs (if u count replacing the pcb as a new phone)

First one was stock + voodoo (stock was flashed using repartition through odin)

Second one was jpk w/ repartition

Third one im running with stock + voodoo (aka following friend #2's approach)

Hope tht helps :\
[Galaxy S I9000 General] danamoult:
That's dedication right there.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
Most of the time what I do is use Odin 1.3 Use an 803 PIT re-partition not checked at the same time select the PDA Phone and CSC since your 900MHz you should not have a problem using the GT-i9000-CSC-Multi-XXXXX.tar.md5 for CSC and the MODEM_i9000XXJPK.tar.md5 for Phone and your PDA will be JPM/JP6 or whatever rom you wish to install
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
Funny thing is I'm on 3rd SGS now too my first one I went crazy on Flashing everything as I had no problems with anything I did to it until JPM/JP6 I bought another SGS while I sent in the other one as a replacement for mine and as a gift for my wife after I get my SGS back from bell. The one I got for my wife died within 6 hours of flashing ROM's I use to have the 850MHz band on my original SGS throughout the whole flashing process but I couldn't repeat it with my wife's SGS. Now since I've buggered hers once already I'm now scared to do anything with this one. Although I still have the DOA warranty on it. I'm I crazy??? Probably more confused as I spent a lot of time reading on these forums and don't have an answer to what went wrong...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killer23d:
I have the Captivate and my girl has the I9000M. I am definitely not new in flashing, just find it very interesting that after flashing Doc's V6, the Bell APN still remained and the boot screen still has I9000M.

Did Bell do something to the phone to prevent people modding it?

So far, my gf didn't complain about corrupting SD. She got hers like 3 weeks ago and the battery production date is Oct 2010. The phone even has 3 button download mode working out of the box.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
Okay so with all the excitement and multiple upgrades of docs rom I made a boo boo.

I flashed a wrong kernel (BLN) using CWM and the phone would not start and could not get into CWM. So I did a flash to UGJG8 and then restored to dock.

Things would work fine for a few hours and then I would get errors, my internal SD card was intact, however my internal available memory was 0. I repeated this process with the same issue, finally got fedup and reparteed with the 512 and it all worked for a few hours and then internal and external all said unavailable.

Now when I boot It goes to the 19000 screen and then shuts off.

However, when I load UGJG8 with my external SD it boots to android and none of the SD cards are available, but internal available says 1.85.

I am trying different things as I want to try and figure out whats going on, any suggestions?

P.S. I strongly believe it has something to do with odin and/or pit files, i.e. software fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Daneshm90:
Aren't those 2 the "Internal Sdcard Corruption" indicators ? :confused:

Boot into recovery. What do u see ?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
Yup, I know it is the internal SD card corruption.

Ohh well.... back to the bell store :(

P.S. I want to highlight that all of this started once I used odin, till then I was using froyo for over a month without any issues. now it might be a coincidence but I dont think so!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Woolios:
I won't use odin if I don't have to. Il use cw instead

Sent from my GT-I9000m
[Galaxy S I9000 General] story:
I've flashed JPK for Phone, CSD and the other one. 512 Pit.

Been on Doc and Kalpiks froyo roms for that past few weeks. 850 has worked on all of them and for the past 3 days I have been running on 850 only with excellent results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] moophone:
Here's what I do from Stock Bell JH2. It preserves 850, and Bell CSC on JPO.

1. Set usb debugging

2. Install root update.zip from recovery.

3. Install Clockwork recovery update.zip (twice), boot into recovery

4. Copy over whichever rom .zip you want and apply it in cw recovery.

5. Flash over whatever kernel you want to use

6. apply whatever lagfix you want in cw

Pretty simple.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gohabs93:
My first SGS phone from bell was stock+voodoo and it got corrupted internal SD within 2 weeks. I've been using the new one with voodoo and no problems yet. I have not flashed with ODIN yet.

I flashed the doc_kalpik v6 rom using the default method, and enabled the 850 band through *#2263#. works fine on my i9000m.

can you confirm it by dialing *#*#0011#*#* ?

thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 General] killer23d:
I think a safe way to flash for the i9000m is NOT to use Odin. Just use Clockworkmod and you should be OK.

It seems more people has partition/corrupted SD card problem after Odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceCaseDave:
I'm inclined to agree.

I killed my first i9000m after messing with odin to flash.

On my second i9000m running doc 7.6.2 JPO flashed via CWM recovery and everything is running AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fingers crossed though, these canadian galaxy s phones might just be a bad batch
[Galaxy S I9000 General] astralmind:
Sorry, doesn't apply to me at least. Never used Odin up until after my SD card got corrupted. Even worst ? Never used any lag fix and flashed my firmware twice:

- Once over kies from UGJG9 to UGJH2

- Once via CWM for Doc's 6.00 ROM (something like that, don't remember the exact version).

About 4-5 weeks after flashing Doc's my internal SD died (same as OPs last).

So no, it is not related to Odin at all. Actually, there are a number of users who even didn't flash anything on their phone and still had it die.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Samdroid_G_S:
Yea theres been to many threads on this already. I really do not believe it's ODIN even though it's only been a week for me since flashing with it (no re-partition).

Butmy sister was at a bell store the other day asking about the SGS and the sales rep admitted to her there having alot of issues with the phone.

If you look around and read these forums you will notice some people have to wait up to 6 weeks for a replacement cause most corrupted SD's require the MB PCB to be replaced and apparantly there on back order.

I'm doubting people who flash there phones with ODIN or CWM are the root cause of the shortage, it's the phone and/or user error period.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mad Medik:
insurance?

For anyone looking at buying one of these, you may want to consider the insurance coverage. I mean, you are fully covered from manufacturers defect, but I wouldnt want to wait a month or two for a replacement.

Notwithstanding that I am always hunting for a deal, I added the Bell premium insurance coverage ($7/mo) which I can cancel any time. I'm going to keep it on for the first few months while I experiment. According to the Manager at the store, its immediate replacement with another I9000M full on the spot (assuming they have one in stock). If I get through the first 4-6 months without issue, then I will probably cancel.

MM
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
that's bull****! i have the stupid insurance coverage (pure scam), and i had to wait over 4 weeks to get my phone back.

i don't know if i just got the shaft, or if he lied to you, but this insurance does nothing, aside form cover the cost of the loaner phone ($60 from what i was told).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mad Medik:
Hmmm... I have no problem with being told, "I'm not sure. Let me find out for you." But providing inaccurate information is not acceptable. I don't think my guy would have intentionally lied, as he is the manager at a corporate store. But maybe he was wrong. I even had him write and initial "for clarity, this will cover problems caused by the client intentionally modifying the device firmware," on the contract. I will send him an email to get this clarified in writing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:
wow, he even wrote it down eh? i was even at the flagship store at yonge&eglinton too, but if your guy wrote it down, i guess i got the shaft then.

[HD2 General] gillgrylls:
So has anyone had an issue with their HD2 Leo giving the wrong time? I was visiting family back in Richmond TX for the week and everytime I went to Richmond TX my phone would move up an hour and when I went to check the time it would say Eastern Time Zone. Im assuming it thinks im in Richmond VA. Does this everytime. THen when I would go back to my other home in Sugar Land TX it would move back the hour to the correct time.

Anyone has a wierd issue like this with your phone? I would figure only people possibly living in a city that has a name common in other states might have this issue. I was in another town called London while I was riding and my phone would think I was in London UK.
[HD2 General] chopped:
im in sugarland, and my phones time has been acting weird all week, maybe its due to my android install but its too strange that this could be a coincidence..
[HD2 General] anhyeuemmaimai:
you have to set the phone to local time and you can do that by going to the alarm clock and selecting the world clock and then put the green dot on "my location" and then the phone will automatically adjust the time based upon where you are.
[HD2 General] davewhite:
I'm having the same problem. It seemed to go wrong after I tried to install andriod. I have re flashed the stock ROM but the phone is still acting very strange as far as the time is concerned.... Help?
[HD2 General] batez2002:
DST?

im in the UK, and we have juyst put the clocks back by an hour after British Summer Time has ended (DST) on sunday 31st October.

since then my HD2 has attempted to reset the time and keeps randomly changing it, yesterday is was showing as no longer on BST and still showing me an hour ahead, today it has randomly changed from 10:30 am to 1:30pm.

not quite sure what is going on with it, when ever i request carrier time it keeps reverting to 1 hour forward but not on BST.

hopefully it will reslove itself over time. if not looks like will have to turn off some of the location services and stick to manual city location within world clock.
