Have u used _allow_resetlogs_corruption? If not, Set _allow_resetlogs_corruption=3Dtrue in init.ora Startup mount; Recover database; Alter database open; If this doesn't solve the problem there is someother way of increasing the SCN to high value using 10015 to start. I haven't used this event personally may be somebody else can help you.
