[Q] HELP! can't boot into system after flashing.

---

Hi all,

I just flashed my i5800 from 2.1 to 2.2, but now I can't boot into system.

The ROM flashed is the stock JPN.

I flashed according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=873645. Everything worked smoothly and I can boot into the 2.2 system. And then I rooted according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872488, it worked too. After that I tried to install some applications. But the phone freezed when I was installing the last app. I rebooted it but it stopped at the shining samsung logo. Then I entered recovery mode and tried to wipe data, but it simply stopped at the message "Formatting DATA...". (I can wipe cache though.). I tried several times to wipe the data but all failed and the phone always stops at the Boot logo when I reset it.

I tried to reflash it. The odin runs successfully as usual and I can see the blue box PASS. But on the phone the screen just shows the following words and wont reboot.
"
--Install from package.
..
Finding update package..
.
Opening update package..
.
Installing update...
--Applying Multi-CSC...
Installing Multi-CSC
--Delete App data...
Delete files, please wait
"

Help!!! what can I do now?

Help!!! what can I do now?

Try flashing the 2.1 version again, then flash JPN.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! I am going to try that. report later.

just flashed with I5800XXJI2. flashing itself worked( I can see the blue PASS box). but it just wont reboot. stuck at the boot logo. i can enter download mode. Should I try other ROM?

because my phone freezed when installing apps (after that i reset the phone and then it wont reboot), i am guessing that some part of data on the phone corrupted (maybe in /data?). Will it help if I flash a rom that contains a datafs.rfs in the ROM? And which ROM contains a datafs.rfs?

all suggestions are welcome!! Thanks.

How long was it stuck at the boot logo? Normally it takes around 7 - 10 mins in the initial boot. Just give it sometime. Or just try flashing the same ROM again.

I waited for more than 10 minutes. To be clear, by "boot logo" I mean the STATIC image containing the words "GT-I5800" and "samsung", not a single shining word "samsung".

Ok I see you did that...

Wipe the phone clean, enter the download mode and flash xxjpm, but flash it without the sd card and sim card.

Thanks for your response!
In recovery mode, I can only wipe cache, but can't wipe data, it always stops at "Formatting DATA..." Does that matter? anyway I am going to try jpm

try flashing a rom with datafs.rfs

Hmmm. You may then have to flash a ROM which has datafs.rfs

Thank you all for the help.
I will reflash it tomorrow. Will report back by then. I hope I can post a good news here by then .
