well i charged my phone last night turned it on this morning and it was all messed up.My apps were force closing and my apps werent appearing. i turned it on and off like 4 time and now everything appears but all my apps force close and dont work properly. i didnt take out my sd card or anything like that. Should i go into recovery mode and repair the ext??
well i tied to just hit repair ext and it didnt fix anything so i wiped the ext then repaired it and rebooted it and it took me into a boot loop. now i am tying to do a nan+ext backup and it is taking my into a boot loop. What do i do now??

Well before you tried that you should of just pulled your sdcard out and then put it back in and rebooted. Also in recovery there is a fix uid mismatches, thats a good place to start. But the last thing you can try is to repartition your sdcard. It will format everything so save your stuff to your computer.
but where will it boot to?? will it boot to my old nandroid??

What do you mean? If you take your SD card? The ROM is all on your phone's internal memory...
i tried to repartition the sd card it worked but i rebooted and it went to the bootloop again..i dont know what to do??
Nvm i used my other sd card to fix the class 6 one

Ive got a big problem, recently my old SD card **** out so i replaced it with a brand new one with nothing on it. Upon first boot nothing was loaded because obviously APP2SD puts everything on the SDCard, however not even market was loaded on the phone itself so it was impossible to even download anything
Now the big issue!!
In my stupidness i thought i would just wipe and reflash a new CM with the new SD card and see if that fixed everything.. However i wiped and then i realized i didnt have a new ROM on my SD card to flash back too!! so now when my phone boots it just boots to a black screen and nothing appears because there is no rom to run... my phone itself is wiped data/cache and my SD card is completely clean due to it being a brand new one
How can i get my phone working again? right now it is INOP as i dont have any rom on it whatsoever and it wont even boot, i dont have a microSD adaptor to put it on my computer with and load a rom on it
is there some failsafe way to get it back to stock firmware incase something like this happens?
This should be in the Q&A section.
But,
What recovery do you have?
[edit]
oh right, drop into terminal Alt+x, type ums_enable and connect your phone through usb and copy over the rom and Amon Ra's latest recovery.

You could try posting in the right section.... or you could go to recovery, drop to console and type ums_enable- then connect your phone and move a rom over

Go buy an sd reader. Or if you have aman ras recovery you can set it to go to usb fro the recovery menu.
first - wrong section
second, if you have a custom recovery - go to the shell and type
ums_enable with usb plugged in
inop
You need a card reader and the ra dream recovery and you would of fixed it
Wow all of you said the same thing?
And repeated it
Even ^ copied the rest of you by saying got rec mode.
ur first card prooly didnt go bad, u prolly didnt flash the ext-fix from cm..correct? thats what happened to me and i then realized my sd was fine, i was also stuck at the g1 screen b4 i flashed the fix. also from what i read all u did was wipe so ur rom is still there, see if u can grab the old card and getter dun. and stop being a jackass and post this where it goes!!
Post in the correct section, next time, please.
Moved.
Here's what happened, I was going to flash back to Super D from Cannon's Eclair rom and went into recovery. In recovery(Amon-Ra's) I chose flash a zip file like usual. The roms took 4 seconds to display which I found was odd but carried on anyways. Then I flashed the rom and other junk, but in my notification bar I noticed an sd card with the "!" on it. Apparently it was damaged and my G1 wanted to format it, but of course I just ignored this message and rebooted. Now when I reboot it goes through the animations and such but doesn't load the Lock screen or OS . Help me out please =P

It doesn't work when you try to flash from a new SD card? I had an SD card go bad, I couldn't recover anything from it, it wouldn't format, either on the computer, or on my phone.
I put a new card in, repartitioned with Amon Ra, loaded the ROM I wanted onto the root, and flashed with no problems.
I still haven't found anything which will read the old SD card though. Good thing most of the contents were backed up on my PC.
Ok, so I've been posting in the Aloysius 2.1 ROM thread, and realized I should probably post this here.
Earlier today I deleted friendstream off of my phone because it was having problems. I then deleted it via adb. I then tried to push the file via adb back onto the phone. It wouldn't work, so I found a friendstream .zip file online. I put it on my sd card, and flashed it. After that it would not go past the boot screen, and is stuck on a boot loop. I have root, and was running aloysius 2.1 live wallpapers/overclocked. I tried to do a nandroid restore, it allowed me to do it, but when it rebooted, it was still stuck in a boot loop! A week or so ago I saved the contents of my sd card to a folder on my laptop. So, I took everything off my sd card earlier, and saved it to a new folder on my laptop, and put the old files from a week ago onto my sd card. Still no luck, stuck in boot loop. So, I put the files back in the folder, and stuck the files I had just saved on my laptop, back onto the sd card. I then did a wipe/factory data reset of the phone in recovery. I then re-flashed the rom. It is STILL stuck on that damn boot loop!!! I run darktremor apps2sd, and my sd card is partitioned. I, for the life of me, can NOT figure out how to get it out of this boot loop! I really hope that I did not brick my phone, my wife will KILL ME!!!
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get my phone to work again, and actually load, instead of being stuck in that boot loop?!?
:edit:
Never mind, I got the problem fixed! Not sure how to delete the thread, sorry!
Well it finally died. I got the infamous SD card failure message. For the past few days It was getting slower and slower and I was getting odd Force Closes everywhere. Then the red exclamation mark and a message about the SD card.
The very weird thing is that the failure was about the EXTERNAL SD card. Cannot find mount point... cannot read... Not the ususal INTERNAL SD card message.
Sure enough, if I try to read the Transcend 16Gb MicroSD on my pc or laptop, it appears completely fried. (Cr*p, that's were my backup was!).
But the phone wont boot on wihout the external card! Why? All I can get to is the Download mode. No boot and no recovery.
I'm in Montreal so it appears easy to get it fixed... but should I try flashing it first?

Sound you have some data corruption (or suffering the Bell BUG http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883820)
First try to retreive the data from your external Sdcard with your PC, using the tool "testdisk 6.11". Maybe you'll be lucky enough to retreive all your data with it (repairing your FAT).
If the repair is a succes, then backup the data on your PC and do a low format of the ext sdcard to start clean.
When it's done, try to clean everything on your phone (if you can boot it in recovery), clean the Dalvik, clean the cache, do a factory reset, disable all extra tweaks (if you use a custome kernel already: lagfix etc).
If all process is ok, now you ready to flash a stock and clean rom with the usual tools (no external or sim card in it during the flash and first boot).
Report back when it's done.
GL.
TestDisk is now hard at work. Thanks for that. There's hope for the data!
Phone wont go into recovery. I had 3BR but it's not working now.
Download mode is all I have. I could theoretically try reflashing with ODIN. Repartitioning might not be a bad option considering the state the phone is in. Should I try?

Yes you can try that, but be sure to flash a stock rom first (go for a 2.1).

All data recovered thanks to TestDisk!!!
As for the phone...
It flashes with Odin no problem. (used JH2, which is what I had on there anyway)
But still wont boot. The problem appears to be in the boot partition.
Should I try "Phone Bootloader Update"? (I'm a bit afraid of that because I might lose my 3BR fix)
What does "Phone EFS Clear" do?
Additional symtom: Cant recharge it either (no problem I have external charger so I can always have a full batt for this process). It starts to display the battery charge graphic and then just boot cycles.

Good news for your data!
No doubt if you do a bootloader update with a stock one, you'll lose the 3BCombo (or maybe flash a stock bootloader with the 3BC enabled, not sure if it exist btw??). Try to reflash the 3BC fix only first and see how it work.
Anything that involve EFS is a: DO NOT TOUCH IT =), hope you did a backup of it btw (your EMEI is stored in that folder: No EMEI = No network).
Waiting your feedback.

Tried a couple of things...
A) Updated bootloader with 3BR fix only: No change, Galaxy-S logo then Off.
B) Flashed JL2 (bootloader not checked): Slight change, now it boot cycles.
C) Flashed JL2 + bootloader: Slight change, now it just hangs and the Galaxy-S logo (waited 60 minutes, phone was getting pretty hot so I stopped it).
At all steps I can get back to Download mode but not recovery.
At this point I assume it's hopeless?

Not sure but really sound like a defect internal SD/or more.
Last hope?: repartition + pit 512 + bootloader and Stock 2.1
That killed it for good. Now it's a paperweight!
No nothing. It's like the on#off button was unplugged!
Oh well. It's really nice to have gotten back the data.

Well that's a bad news, maybe pulling out the battery during one or two hours will help to revive it.
Otherwise if it's really the internal sd issue you might check that thread about internal SD bug (if not done yet) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=902724 and RMA it.
Don't worry they'll change it with a brand new one. Ring samsung directly if you can.
No worries. I am five minutes away from the service center. Mobo replaced for tomorrow morning they said.
Had I come in before 3PM they left we with the impression they would have changed it while I wait!
Having followed all these threads, I was well aware of the issue long before it actually happened to me. The only thing that surprised me was that it broke the fat table on my external SD.
I was holding back because of the instabilities; with a better unit in hand I'll pop in a fancy rom.
External SD card causes reboot loop
I think I have a similar problem as yours. Just yesterday when I did a restart on my SGS, it suddenly went haywire. The boot loop was continuing for almost 30 mins until it suddenly became stable and reboot as normal.
However, something didn't work out right. I can't view all my pics and videos from gallery, and even my mp3s are not detected inside the music player.
But the very same files are still readable from My Files when I manually dig into these folders.
Same thing happened again just now when I was on my way to work in the subway. I finally had the sense to remove my external sd card and voila, my phone reboots smoothly without a hiccup.
So the question here is, is it that my external sd card is failing or is it that the phone's external sd card reader is failing.
Could anyone with the similar problem share with me their findings?
This morning my phone turned off and kept booting into recovery mode. I took out my micro sd and it booted but wouldn't get past the cyanogenmod boot screen. I tried doing an odin one click back to stock but my phone is now stuck in a boot loop. When I try to go into recovery and mount my phone, it tells me that the sd card can't be mounted.
I figure that my internal sd got messed up somehow. Is there anyone out there that can help in fixing this?
