factory reset "invalid argument" ?

[forcedv]

This SGS had the original O2 ADJM1 firmware without the 3 button combo, which I fixed using the 3 button fix from another thread. SGS was working fine but I thought I'd give in and try a custom Rom.
Installed Darky's 6.0, worked great, but when I tried a factory reset from the settings menu, it kind of semi bricked, so I used Odin to install "GT-I9000_I9000XWJM8_I9000XXJM4_CODE-MODEM" with pit 512 to recover the SGS.

Problem is, Android Market will not download "download unsuccessful" pops up all the time.

The I installed GT-I9000_I9000XWJM9, hoping to fix the problem, while keeping recovery 2e, but Android market still does not download.

When I try the "wipe data/factory" reset using the 3 button combo, I get the following errors:

Appling Multi-csc
installing Muli-csc
mps_dat value: KOR
copy_multi_carrier from : KOR
multicsc : can not access to /system/csc/KOR/system/
copy common_data E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)

wiping data...
Formatting DATA:...

format_root_device: /dev/block/stl11Data wipe complete.
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl11 (invalid argument)

I'm guessing "E" is the internal SD card, so maybe there's a problem there

Also how do I fix this android market problem ?

I really need a pointer to installing a stock fully working Rom with recovery 2e, then I can move back to Darky's new 7.0 ROM.

Any help would be great.

Hi, i have exactly the same problem.

The way I fixed this problem was in two steps.

I used the Kies registry hack (someone here has created a program (which I can't find a link to right now) for windows that fools Kies to recognize your SGS as requiring an official firmware update).

Once your SGS is back on your official carrier firmware, Android market will work again.

From there, I was able to do a proper factory reset, followed by installing Draky's 7 Rom, using the 3 button combo and update zip method......and till now it's all good.

My SGS went from being a useless paper weight, to a kick ass device.

Good luck.

*You mentioned JM1* you may not need to go back to that firmware, but whatever official carrier firmware that Kies updates your SGS to, should fix the market problem.

With the Internal SD Corrupted Fix, i have formated my internal SD and there is no invalid argument when i do a data/factory reset.

but i think this is another problem, i have tried anything.

The hang on installing/unistalling problem come when i add my Google Account on the Android Market.

After this, i can't install or unistall anything.. that show installing.... at the infinite.

(sry for my english)

i have created a new google account for re-downloading again applications on the market, but i'm really sad because i have bought a lot of with my other account! wtf...

can't someone have any ideas or can help me?

thanks!
