Attempting to revive the phone

My friend had this i9000 and he said that at one point it just wouldn't boot, just kept doing a boot loop. He has pictures on there he wanted to recover. I flashed CWM and managed to mount it and copy everything off the device. Now I want to try and get it working for him but for some reason, flashing the phone just isn't working. I've also tried flashing with 3 different pit files, but there's just no success. All I can say is the device is was using the official ROM and is locked to the UK T-Mobile carrier.

Is anyone able to help?
