[SOLVED] GT-I5800 "Can't mount DBDATA:"

[badpinguin]

This is a SEVERAL ERROR. I hope that someone help me before send
my phone to repair
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
I was update my phone with success from "Eclair 2.1" to Froyo 2.2
and used it without problems, until last night. I've installing busybox
when the system was lock. I turned it off by force. When I power on
the system was locked on samsung loading logo.
For resolve all problems I 've think to flash it again, but I found it's inconvenient described herein.

Now I post all logs of flashing operation WITH A PRECISE CHRONOLOGIC DESCRIPTION AND SOFTWARE USED.

I've use this
www . bartoloilliano . com / samsung-galaxy-mini-i5800-installare-android-froyo-2-2 . html
software the first time with succesfully, and
it's same that I use now.

 

[dkido]

I think you should reflash with Eclair rom first, and then the Froyo rom later. If it does not work try another rom

 

[badpinguin]

Thank you dkido, I've think this, but I'm not think that this is the problem.
I'll try your solution.
You know some web site where I can Download Android Eclair 2.1 ?

 

[dkido]

Thank you dkido, I've think this, but I'm not think that this is the problem.
I'll try your solution.
You know some web site where I can Download Android Eclair 2.1 ?

You could search in the forum or download from

samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm

 

[badpinguin]

I was checked your suggest page, but I'm not match my exactly model Eclair 2.1 firmware.
this is a page:

http : / / www . samfirmware . com / fwandroid . htm

I try to search anyware by google, but without success.

someone know if Samsung Galaxy mini GT-I5800 has an special keys to formatting
flash memory without call Android System Recovery ? or for doing all other things?

because I think that the problem is inside at the phone, because the flashing porcedure is always finish with success, and I think that there is somethink that is not erasing on flashing
process.

There are a lot of rom in samfirmware.com you need to register an account to download them .
Dont worry.
The galaxy 3 phone is very good. I have many times corrupted while flash the phone, even unplug while flash. But it will be recovery normally

 

[badpinguin]

I'm not worry, but I won't send my phone to samsung tecnical support.
I've already registered at this site.
Have you got a Samsung galaxy mini GT-I5800 too?
can you give me an exactly link for download the firmware and
the software for this operation?

anyway very kind of you.

There is no Galaxy mini GT-I5800.
It's either Galaxy 3(or apollo) GT-I5800 or Galaxy mini S5570.

 

[badpinguin]

Yes, I know. but a question of this post is:


Why my device log after flashing this:

And how I can restore my phone system

Thank you for your post

 

[LarryMetal]

Have you tried to flash XWJPF? It's a very good rom. And more recent.
Here you can find many stock roms without bootloader.

Be sure to load the correct file(XWJPF) and not the old one(XXJP9).
Also for download mode press and hold "Vol Down" + "Central Button" and then "power". Hold all three until Download mode screen is on. Then plug the phone.

yeah, I have no idea about mini GT-I5800 version!!
I suggest you to use the Kyrillos' ROM v5.0 RC this rom is amazing. You could try these step to flash the rom

+ Flash I5800XXJK1 or I5801DXJG5 Eclair Rom first (I think other Eclair version works fine). If you care about the logo just remove Logo.png, boot.bin, sbl.bin (Total commander or 7z)

+ Make sure your phone will work as normal after flash done and booted. backup your IMEI if you want

+ If you don't want to use Kyrillos' ROM. Just continues flash to next Froyo that you want. Note: You could do wipe cache before flash to Froyo but notice, if the rom is not support wipe cache, your phone will stuck in boot screen and you need to repeat All reflash once again and do not try wipe cache again.

+ Kyrillos' ROM: Backup your SD Card before flash
Flash with the Rom, when finish you will be in Recovery Mode like this

+ This step will partition your SD card, and its data will completely clean. But it is a must if you don't want to manual partition your sd card.
Go to Advanced>Partition SD Card and you will know what to do, the first partition is ext3 and the seconds is swap-partition (1000M/256M is fine?).

+ All the left thing is wipe cache, clear, format everything. Finally, return to main menu and reboot .

+ Ready for wait , about 2 minutes to hear the boot sound and you will see the bootanimation, and more about 10+ minutes your phone will completely boot.

Congratulation and welcome to the new Android world


P/S: Another ways if you fail in second try
+ Flash I5800XXJK1 > I5800XWJPF > Kyrillos' ROM
+ or I5801DXJG5 > I5801DDJP2 > Kyrillos' ROM

You think that the problem is a ROM phone and not the android Firmware ?
I must over write the "Android System Recovery" with Kyrillos' ROM?
or Kyrillos' ROM is other firmware but hacked?
anyway, I just wana restore Android firmware
(if it's possible Froyo version ) on my gt-i5800

thank's for you post.

Usually it takes no more than 5min.
Try to wipe cache from recovery menu VolUp+VolDown+CenterButton+power.
Then try again. I once wanted to do factory reset but I had to press twice the center button.

It's ok. So just chose an Eclair rom for high success rate.

I try to enter in Android Recovery system with combo keys
MENU+(V-UP+V-DOWN)+POWER
but the phone return me a quickly black screen anfter the "GT-I5800 samsung" logo,
and reboot itself, for get me again this screen:

Now I try the bkido advice. I'll flashing again my phone, but
with I5800XXJK1 Eclair 2.1 firmware.



anyway, I come to this think:

All software that I was try, have the same problem. Access to the EEPROM phone,
(the errors (Can't mount DBDATA) and (Delete files, please wait "locked indefine time"))
,
and the Android System Recovery is include inside the firmware package.
(because the combo keys not work)

While I try, to reflash my device, someone know if exist other tools for diagnostic and
manage for this phone? I think that they exist, I can format manual mode the EEPROM,
make a new aprtition FAT or somethink in to the device.

Make a question here. There are many experts into development section.
What rom did you have before trying to flash into the new one?
