My Vibrant's internal sdcard was reporting corruption, so I put a fresh ROM (Macnut 12) on the external SD, rebooted into Clockwork, and formatted the SDcard, system & data partitions. Then went to install the ROM, but it turned out it wouldn't recognize the ext-sd card either! I get this error when i try to mount:
Code:
E:INFO is WRONGError mounting SDEXT:!
I've tried a different ext-sd, and even tried formatting that one on the computer (MBR partition scheme, FAT partition). Nothing is recognized by the phone.
Also when I try "mount USB storage" nothing shows up on my desktop either.
SO: I have an almost empty phone, and no way of putting any ROM whatsoever on there. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
note: i have a Mac, so AFAIK ODIN doesn't work for me.
I'm in "Clockwork 2.5.1.0 lagfix edition", and was previously rocking Eugene's Macnut R12 with the JFS+RFS lagfix.
thanks!

I also use a mac. You need to be careful how you delete and format your sd cards. I just deleted some stuff off my sd card by dragging it into the trash and it didnt free up any space on the sd card. I have also seen problems with formatting them with the mac also. Also ODIN is a great way to put things back to stock. you will need to use bootcamp to install windows on the partition. If I weere you I would still ODIN back to stock and reflash to make sure you dont have errors in the future
Format sd card through clockworkmod recovery. Itll wipe everything, but it should bring it back to being usable. Also heimdall works with mac right? I havent used heimdall but read its an open source rom flasher replacement for odin.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I was going to suggest Heimdall as well. You should be able to flash back to a stock firmware, then sort things out from there. If you want to do that and then report back here, we could help from there.
Information about Heimdall is available in this thread along with a link to download the program.
Good luck.

Here's my issue: I wanted to start with a fresh "slate" for flashing a custom ROM (I originally had TRIGGER+OVERSTOCK). I backed up my apps/settings and the current ROM, disabled the Voodoo lagfix and unrooted the phone. Then, I ODIN'd back to JFD. At this point I downloaded TitaniumBackup and ROM Manager. When I tried to mount the Internal SD card, nothing happened...just the external card mounted. I went back and checked my ODIN settings an noticed that I had left the "Re-Partition" box checked. Freaking out at this point, I then went ahead and rooted the phone, and checked the file system through the Super Manager app. All my data was still there!!! So I went ahead and used ADB to "pull" the TB and ROM Manager data onto my computer just in case. My question is: how do I get the internal SD card to mount correctly?? Any help would be HUGE!!! Thanks in advance for everything!

I can't really tell by your post, are you trying to mount your external sd onto your phone or onto your computer?
I have Odin'ed to JFD with repartition checked many times, and have never had your problem. If I were you, I would just go through and Odin again using a different JFD image (maybe you just had a bad flash, what version of Odin were you using?) As long as whatever you are flashing with Odin contains all the essential bits, repartitioning should not do anything too deadly to your phone. (I learned this the hard way, do not try to Odin and repartition with JI6, for example, because JI6 has no dbdata image included).
If you just want to troubleshoot your current install, check the "/etc/vold.fstab" and "/etc/vold.conf". I can't actually tell you what those two files should look like as I am currently running a 2.2.1 rom (I think the files should differ between versions of the OS, but I'm not sure).
I am a pretty big Linux and Android noob, but I'm pretty sure that those two files are responsible for mounting both sdcards onto your phone, at least partially. (I would have no idea where to look to fix it if it isn't mounting onto your computer.)
Sorry if any of my advice is off, like I mentioned a little earlier, I am a pretty big noob, albeit very interested in Android.
Sorry for the confusion....I'm attempting to mount my internal SD to my computer. As far as ODIN is concerned, I'm using 1.7 with the flash files from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475&highlight=stock+odin
I've used this ODIN flash before without any issues, so I'm still a bit stumped on why I can't mount my SD card. I can see the entire file system from within my phone as well as through ADB, but (for whatever reason) cannot mount it to my PC. I am leaning towards the issue of the SD card being partitioned wrong. Any thoughts? Any ideas on how to repartition the internal SD back to "stock"? Thanks again for any help provided!
-Oryon007
That's actually the same JFD image I use. I would just use Odin to flash JFD again with the repartition checkbox checked. I'm pretty sure that that will solve your problem.
Make sure you use the pit file too, without that you will have serious issues if you are repartitioning.
I'll try this again, just in case I missed something the first time...wish me luck!! I'll let you know how this turned out, too!
-Oryon007
Alright, good luck. Did you use the pit file when you originally flashed JFD and repartitioned? Not using that file may have been why you had this problem.
Ok...so, no change with the internal SD. When I attempt to mount the SD cards to my PC, the only one that shows up is the external one. After unmounting them, I can still see both cards with filesystems. Could the internal SD have been partitioned incorrectly? If so, how do I get it repartitioned right?
EDIT: I did use both original files from here...
Okay, I'm sorry but I have no clue how to help you. Are you sure its not just your computer? You may have to try and get help from somebody more knowledgeable than me. Have you tried flashing any other rom through Odin over JFD?
Not yet...I wanted to make sure that it wasn't something that I was doing incorrectly through ODIN. Again, my ultimate goal in all this was to have a "clean slate" to install a custom ROM on; the catch I'm running into is that I can't mount the internal SD card to place the files on to flash through CWM, even though I can see all the files through the phone and through ADB. *sigh* Thanks for your help though! It's always nice to have help when you run into these issues...
EDIT: After trying to ODIN JI2 files, I get the following error upon boot of the phone in Recovery:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/stl10
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA:

Look at what I said at the end of the second paragraph, on the second post in the parentheses.
EDIT: Just flash a rom using Odin that does have a dbdata file. You probably checked repartition while flashing JI2.
Last night I was having a similar problem. While I wasnt flashing back to stock or anything, I could only get G: (external sd) to mount to my pc but not the F: (internal storage). Eventually I disabled USB Debugging, plugged in the USB cable from the pc, and it gives you 3 options for USB Mode: Kies, Media Player, Mass Storage. Once I selected mass storage, both internal and external sd cards mounted to the PC with no problem. Just remember to re-enable USB Debugging after.
Finally got it!!
Finally found the issue!! Only took me a week....lol
Going to manage my disk drives found that my PC wanted to assign a drive letter that was already assigned to a mapped network drive. *duh* Obviously not going to work. Reassigned the drive letter and voila!! I can mount my internal SD card!! w00t!!
That's really terrible and hilarious at the same time. Why wouldn't windows just pick another letter to map it to?
Hi everyone,
In my overzealous attempts to reformat an old 4gb external SD card through CW Recovery, I managed to reformat my internal SD card (I was using the Clockwork Recovery version 2.5). I thought that "format sd card" would reformat my external memory card and not leave me without a usable phone, but I guess I misunderstood.
I spent at least five hours going through all of the ODIN tutorials and trying them out, and found that using Eugene's 2.2 with 2E recovery ROM actually allows me to boot up (hooray! ), while the stock rom from this thread simply forces a bootloop on my poor phone, with occasional freezes. Even using AIO's "Flash to Stock" from Eugene's 2.2 doesn't work.
Further searching has lead to the thread about partitioning using parted, which has been hard for me to use effectively (I made a new partition, but I couldn't get it to mount properly).
I was really excited to come across this tutorial, but it didn't solve my problem. After getting through all of the steps, at step 5, ODIN3 versions 1.0, 1.7, and 1.81 (I tried all 3 on 3 different walk-throughs of the tutorial) never were actually capable of repartitioning the sdcard properly. Every time after the first time of using "parted" to reduce the card to a single partition, I found that that lone partition was always the only one there (15.5 gb /SYSTEM Fat32). No changes had been made to the sd card's partitions.
I don't know if it helps any, but the ROM I was running before I reformatted the card was Bi-Winning 3.0, and Voodoo had not been disabled at the time of the reformat, which may be why I can't flash new ROMs through the recovery as well.
As near as I can tell, ODIN can't actually return my vibrant's partitions to factory settings, so is there a way for me to do that manually? I think that would solve my problem.
Thanks,
-NewbieCube
My guide (you linked to) clearly states its not for this intent... if you read it, you would also see I linked to Eugenes froyo that does not brick. If you did it, THEN you did my guide ODIN to JFD, you are on a fully functional stock 2.1 JFD build.
If your intent was to just format the external sd, go to menu settings, sd card/phone storage, unmount the external and format it.
Right, I know that. In fact I read all through your thread and tried to flash to Eugene's first, and then to JFD, but JFD does not boot properly. It just gives me a black, unresponsive screen. I'll definitely go back through once more and try that again, though, as you clearly know what you're talking about.
I basically formatted the wrong storage (internal sd vs external sd), and would like to get that internal back to stock, so you are right that Eugenes -> JFD should work. I'll report back with results.
^ yeah, exactly... that should work with no issues. let me know if it does not.
Oddly enough, that didn't work for me either. Since my phone still can boot into Eugene's (albeit with 0.00B available to apps), I know this should work, just from reading through your guide. So once more, here's what I did:
1. Download mode -> ODIN 1.70: Flash Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5, and s1_odin_20100512.pit (from Eugene) Re-Partition NOT checked (Eugene's thread says not to)
2. Boot up into Unbrickable Froyo, with no application space remaining Mount sdcard and move Update.zip (s15274n's) into the root folder without issue.
3. Download mode -> ODIN 1.70: Flash s1_odin_20100512.pit, and T959UVJFD.tar (s15274n's) with Re-Partition checked
4. Boots once automatically into recovery, saying something about a failed MBR checksum and failure to clear userdata
5. Bootloops that never get past the VIBRANT logo screen
6. Boot into recovery and try deleting user data and cache data manually and to reinstall packages, but bootloops continue.
I really don't know what I'm doing wrong here...
UPDATE:
I even used Heimdall on another computer and got the same result, so it isn't ODIN. Why is reformatting the internal SD card to stock so difficult to do?

I FIGURED IT OUT!!! ...by random chance
For my problem, it was indeed the voodoo lagfix that was messing things up, and this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888084
helped me out tremendously.
for this fix, you will need to have a CWM sdcard ready and waiting followed by and drivers properly installed for your tablet.
YOU MUST have CWM running from sdcard to fix this issue. Otherwise nothing will happen.
instructions to install to sdcard are here (I suggest using windows)
Needed files for download:
just download this zip and run the script while booted into cwm from sdcard.
download it here.
Instructions: Boot from sd (don't worry, it will work), ensure sdcard is mounted, and then you just run the fix.bat from the computer after extracting.
Credits: Succulent for the xloader image
Fattire for the idea that it might have formatted mmcblk0p1 (which it dead instead of mmc1)
You're welcome.
Might want to add that the cause of the "brick" appears to be that CM7 is confusing mmc1 and mmc0 and instead of wiping the first partition of the SD card, it's presumably wiping the first partition of the emmc, which contains the x-loader.
I already have said it.
Ah okay... well glad everything is fixed now.

Hi Indirect. I see that you have fixed your NT. I did not use sd i did install cm7 internally but i did format all the mounts . And now it just restarts in CWM. What should i do. Any idea please
Well guys, I'm still having problems. I ran the brick fix before you updated it - didn't work. I then re-ran after you updated it - still didn't work. It'll boot to CWM from SD, but won't boot to any ROM. Tried re-installing CM7 (didn't work), then I tried the Nook141root.zip which supposedly installs the BN 1.4.1 from CWM (also didn't work). Tried re-running the brick fix a handful of times after and before installing each ROM with no luck. Then I tried running it without installing a ROM. Tried the brick fix then I tried the BN 1.4.0 restore file. I tried on multiple freshly formatted SD cards and I even tried on a computer I was working on with a fresh install of Win7 with a fresh install of the drivers just to rule that out.
Before all this I had CWM and CM7 installed internally - if that makes a difference. Ideas?
Edit: More info. When trying to wipe data/factory reset in CWM I get the errror "E:format_volume: make_ext4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2"...this occurs right after rebooting from the brick fix.
Edit 2: More info yet...in the brick fix I'm getting the text "error: device not found" twice right after entering "y" then again a handful of times later. Is there anything special I have to do in CWM to get it to detect it? I have sdcard mounted...
Im geting this and then my nt restarts by itself and then im back in cwm again so nothing is fixed.

Actually with mine it does not matter . I get till the step y or n without mounting nothing. Than i mount the sd card and press y and enter.
Than as u can see does try to write something and than my nook does reboot .
And the ending is the same. So no progress so far.

Were you running from internal or SD when it bricked?
Does it boot to CWM on it's own without an sd in the slot? If it does have you tried restoring/flashing a backup?
Reason I say about the backup is I just bricked my own systems on purpose when running from sdcard, it kept gpoing back to CWM after the xloader was returned to it. Restored an original backup and all is well again

Yes i have had it internally.Not in an sd.
Yes mine doew boot to CWM on its own without and sd in slot. And yes i have tried restoring to re flash back up. Cause i have installed CM7 once and it did run well. But than after installing some programs became slow so i wanted to redo it again. And than i did format all: bootdata, cache, emmc, rom, system,sd-ext.
And then i installet cm7 again and all the installing went well againg . But it just want start cause is missing something in one of the mounts. So what i think is only needed if ill be able to restore the data that is in all those small partitions like emmc. I know that bootdata,and cached gets backed up but i dont know if the orthers are backed up or not.
Thanks for trying to help.
Edit: I have to go to university now. But if it would make it easier for you to help, I can shot a video afterwards with all the steps what i have done and how is my nook behaving now.Just let me know .
Edit1: I did try to restore to stock or update to 1.4.1 but it tells me MD5 mismatch.
Is it possible that i can push in with adb the files that are in the boot data, eMMc and other mounts i mean one by one.
I was running internal when it bricked. Only boots to cwm from SD now.

I'm in the same boat...I think when we did a format of the rom partition, we lost some data that was not backed up...That being said I have done a lot of reading and I think all hope is not lost.
We did not format the "factory" partition which from what I have been reading may contain a backup of the "rom" and other partitions.
I wonder if it is possible to pull the data from the factory partition, extract the data that we need and then push the appropriate files back to where they belong? It's way beyond my expertise, although I do have ADB working and I think if someone could point us in the right direction, it wouldn't be that difficult...I could be completely off base though...Good Luck and If I make any progress I'll make sure I pass the info along.

I got the bloody ADB issue.... I was able to boot to CWM from SD card, and it's mounted. BUT! Adb devices gives me nothing, no device. I did all the troubleshooting of the driver, i got the "Android composite ADB interface" device but still no adb device appearing. Please help! My only idea if this fix can be incorporated into a flashable zip. May be there is some other way?

I tried repartitioning my nook and it really bricked it now. It won't boot from SD. Tried a different card and fresh download of CWM. I think it's totally borked.
Edit for clarification: repartitioned from within CWM on SD
Edit2: Tried a 3rd card (first 2 were 32gb, 3rd was 16gb) and it let me back into CWM. ADB still isn't working though.
Edit2 clarification: I only say ADB isn't working because the brick fix says device not found. If I'm wrong please feel free to correct me.

Mne does not say that but it restarts my nook. But it does not fix it. I think its just some small starting files missing. But im not so good so i cant help it. So im just sitting and watching around internet if there is any fix. It looks that they have had the same problem with NC to start with to.
I'm trying to get files (my photos mostly) off the internal storage of my Vibrant. I don't care about getting the Vibrant working again, just getting my files off it. I can get into recovery mode, but mounting usb storage *does not work*, even tried unplugging and replugging the phone but no dice. I can install zips from the sd card (though it takes 5x longer than normal) but any ROM I install, stock, cyanogen, slim, etc. won't actually finish booting.
Because USB mounting doesn't work, I'd like to use CWM to copy all the files on the internal storage to the sd card. Then I can put the sd in another computer and get the files off. In CWM I can do a backup to sd, but that doesn't backup photos, just the rom. Is there a way to generally copy files from internal to the sd using CWM?
Also, the entire time I'm in recovery mode my PC makes the sound for a usb device being connected and then disconnected, assume that has something to do with the Vibrant being generally busted.
In summary:
Trying to recover files from vibrant phone storage
Can't boot any regular ROM
Can get into CWM recovery
USB mount in CWM recovery *does not work*
Can install zip from sd card
Can backup to sd card
Have a spare working vibrant for charging battery
Any ideas?
Okay I'll see if I can help any. First of all, can you successfully use Odin to return to stock firmware? Have you even attempted using Odin?
Can try using recuva or there is another one too but the XDA search is missing right now. Moped_Ryder usually recommends that one that I can't remember right now, but once the search button is back, I'll let you know what it is. Works like a charm. Droid recover or Droid Files, ahh I can't think of it but there is a solution on here somewhere.
Try a program called Android Commander.
Ive transferred files in CWM with it all the time.
Agreed with android commander. It has always worked for me. There are other solutions too with these new kernels these days. You can download Devil kernel or subzero via PC(They both include new file manager in recovery).Put it on your external card, flash, reboot back into recovery. Mount your internal and external cards from mounts and storage menu. Go to file manager and copy/paste away.
Hello guys,
at first i want to explain what happened to me:
i wanted to format an usb-stick on my pc, i used windows' diskpart in the cmd.
well, somehow i maid something very wrong and formated the sd-card of my sgs2, which was connected in the "usb-connection"mode. Well, it was no problem for me, the datas (music and pictures) are safed. but the smartphone don't recognize the card anymore could be because i formated it in ntfs. Well, the storages is always shown in the computer, as soon as i plug my phone in. i don't need to activate the usb-connection mode.
well i'm on a pacman rom and the following is my kernel:
Kernel_Siyah-Dorimanx-V9.1-[00-49]-[07-03]-JB-CM-AOKP-SGII-PWR-CORE
i could format the card with the pc i think, also did it as a fat32 file system, but nothing shown in the phone.
can anybody help? maybe format it with a terminal emulator or so?
thanks for any suggestions!
greetings
Format in CWRecovery.
thanks for that tip.
i tried it, via mounts and storage, but i get an error:
"
Formatting /emmc...
Erro mounting /emmc!
Skipping format...
done.
"
i think i should format the storage via the pc, but how :/
Try formating sd card using a linux pc
I did same thing with a flash drive and worked
Send from my SGS2 I9100 with PACMAN ROM v22.2 and DorimanX 9.20 kernel
that's a good advice.
do you have had the same things as i? so that you can see the storige when the device is active and plugged in? i'll try it later in the evening with a live linux, if i can't get any other solution on windows
Let us know how you get on/if it works. Using a LiveCD & doing it could be a good solution for someone else who finds nothing works (Rather than going the whole hog & doing a full Linux install they'll never use again).
i'm not sure if linux can do more than windows. i've formated the stick 3 times now, once with the diskpart console-programm, well this time "format fs=fat32" of course, than via "computer" (rightclick, format) and here also fat32... then i tried this tool:
http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
nothing to see in the smartphone either.
of course i've unplugged the cable before.
do you think it could help to do a flash via odin? well, for this i could need some instructions, it would be great to flash a custom rom, because i wouldn't use the stock rom.
but so far thanks anyway for your help, very nice how fast you reply ;D
and here a little apology, i'm very sorry for my english. i hope you can understand most of it ^^
Your English is good
Hmmmm. I'm not sure flashing anything in Odin would help, flashing another rom won't make any difference (Because this is kernel-side). Though I guess you could try flashing another custom kernel/reflashing the one you're using, but that would probably only be useful if there was something funky going on with CWRecovery causing your attempts to format through there to barf.
How about restoring a nandroid backup ?
To be honest, I've heard worse ideas than the Linux suggestion.
a nandroid backup isn't such a good point i guess.
because it contains the apps and so on, and i can't have an backup because i cant flash anything in the cwrecovery (because it cant mount the /emmc)
i think something tricky is up here, otherwise i could mount it easily in the recovery menü, but no chance. i tried it with a terminal emulator with the lines:
su (so that i'm superuser) then of course i accepted the su-prompt, and then typed:
mount -o remount rw /mnt/sdcard
but something must be wrong there because of the following error:
mount: Invalid argument
when i go to settings-> storages i have the internal storage with ~2GB for apps and so on, and it shows another "internal storage", where there are 2.00B used by "other"... when i click on that i see a .defaultrom data, nothing more.
any suggestions what this means? do i have an internal storage mounted where there is a 2bytes file and nothing more free?
that "re-partition" option in odin seems to be interesting.
do you think a flash of an emmc_EXT4_16GB.pit with the "re-partition" field ticked could help me?
EDIT:
fixed it 8)
well but i don't just want to tell how i did it, firstly i want to tell that it wasn't such a deep thing as "sectors broken while formating" or something like that. i really don't know the reason for myself, but i fixed it without the pc. i tried to format the storage with linux, there i tried ext4 and fat32, nothing worked.
than i googled a bit with the live linux, than i found someone who had the same problems like me. Well, he wasn't finished where i was, because he got the problem again after flashing a cm 10.1, but i don't need to flash it, and i dont think i will get the problem, because i got it in a different way than he (he installed cm10.1 from an external sd, than the internal didn't showed up)
Well, i dont want to write longer, i'll tell how it worked:
go to settings -> backup and reset -> factory data reset and in the next page tick "Erase SD card"
this formats the card itselfes, so it recognizes it after all. if i could i'd have formated it in the "storage" section, but there i had no ability to do so.
well, i hope i can help someone with this fix ;D
