Hi,
So I have been facing this problem for the past 2 month, my SD Card has been getting corrupted alot lately. ONLY EXT partition though, the FAT partition remains intact. I never faced this problem back when I was using JF 1.5 (Long back) This only started happening a while after I started using AOSP 1.6 (With Expansion). Later on I flashed ADP 1.6 , I thought it might be something to do with that ROM. But unfortunatly I was faced with the same result. It happened just 10 min. ago . My phone was working absoloutely fine, I had received a call and then 20 min. later I wanted to grab an app from the market and my phone just completely Froze........I knew it had ****ed up. It restarted Automatically and as usual all Apps are gone as a result of the corruption.
Sometimes, repairing the parition from the recovery console solves the issue, but thats only SOMETIMES. mostly I have to restore the backup from BART or NANDROID . (Which also never restores right away, but after wiping everything on the phone first !!!!!!!! :S)
Please help me out if you have ANY idea whats causing this!
Thanks.
i suggest backing up what you can.. then.. try a fresh start by formation the sdcard and repartationing and before install all your apps back.. try a few out and see if get the same thing.. if then it may be time for a new sdcard
Thanks for the suggestion mate....but I have formatted the card all the way back to RAW mode and repartitioned it again and did a fresh install of everything.........same result. Its not app related. If it was , it would have happened the same time I run that specific application, but it just happens randomly. A new SD Card is the only other possible reason. I will buy one and try :S
Thanks anyway for your help.
Hey everyone, after a year of not caring about any mods or hacks for my galaxy s I thought that I should get one problem out of this world.
I am talking about the constantly flashing led buttons...so I stumbled upon BLN control which needed a special kernel, so I downloaded the promoted Kernel Flasher and the .tar file of the manual site of BLN (the site i was linked to via my mobilephone when opening BLN).
That tar file was called something with odin in it (not the "update" version). I used odin back in the days I remember...anyways, while in kernel flasher i inserted that tar file...and the kernel was installed, auto-reboot and since then it restarts on loops. Loads the desktop, checks for sd cards...you can scroll around a bit...then after 8 seconds it gets black and restarts.
I am really desperate here, because my exams are coming up and due to my carelessness I have this nasty problem to solve on top of that. Arghh...
There are some appz with important information in it (like notes), a clear swipe would be the absolute last resort here.
Can I recover my old kernel (didn't backup my old one), or replace/update with a new, working one? Through the recovery menue?
If you'd be so kind to step by step explain how it should be done? and I will cease any modding, hacking after this one. -_-
It is a rooted 2.3.3 Gingerbread kernel, as far as i can remember.
Can you go to download mode ? if so flash the .tar file as pda in odin. MAKE SURE IT'S THE RIGHT KERNEL FOR YOUR DEVICE.

Thanks for the tip.
This morning I played around with this bootlooping phenomenon a bit and found out, that when I immediately close any wlan or phone signal my phone works normal...just that I cannot phone anyone, or be phoned, or surf the net.
I manually did a backup of all my important files now, phew.
When using backup programs my phone resets immediately too.
Ok, long story short, I got my firmware, kernel info now, so you might be able to tell me which kernel, firmware would be appropriate for me (didn't update for a year now, so I am not on top of the news).
Kernel/file that screwed up my phone:
i9000_jvh_backlightNotification_v3.0_odin.tar
My actual Kernel Version:
2.6.35.7-i9000XWJVH-CL184813 [email protected] #51
Buildnumber:
Gingerbread.XWJVB
I am able to enter the download mode, but which . tar-file should I use in your opinion? What's a good one today?
Ah, I see the light, maybe I once again will be able to phone again.

do you want to use a Samsung stock kernel or do you wanna give a try to Cyanogenmod stable or something like that?
Last time I saw samfirmware sites I saw that 2.3.6 was avaible for Europe...
Well... that's your choice!!!
Will I be able to keep the functionality of BLN, that keeps those led-buttons at the bottom turned off?
With a Samsung Stock-Kernel you will loose the BLN-Feature. You can try flashing another Kernel which has implemented this feature too. I used the SemaphoreKernel which has this feature. (works on all GB-Roms)
If you try Cyanogenmod you will loose BLN too. But Cm has a feature called "LED-Notification" which does the same as BLN does.
So, I downloaded update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip should I go on with this manual? http: //jjpda.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-install-cyanogenmod-71-on-i9000.html ?
Or do I have to go back from a root to apply this new one?
Which program do I use on PC, and which one on my phone again? :O
Search in Cyanogenmod wiki for i9000,you will find all the steps to follow..
You need 1st TO root the phone, than install ROM manager, install CWM, place CM7 zip on internal SD, remove SIM And ext. SD,reboot into recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, flash CM7 zip and reboot.
Don't forget:
-fully charge your phone before starting
-read CM7 wiki page
Hope this might help you.

Well, I did everything the wiki told me to do and here i am with a new rom.
But now my SIM-CARD isn't recognized anymore. I accidently forgot what bedo told me in his last post, and left that card inside while flashing. My bad, i guess.
But what can I do now? I re-flashed, wiped already, with no success, my sim card is still absent in cyanmod. :\

Can you post a screenshot about info of your phone with CM7?
(long press power button and select Screenshot when you are in the info menu )
Here some info for your amusement. Have fun!
Supposed we get to a solution, so I can use my phone for communication purposes again, I wanted to format the internal sd memory of my phone.
Can I just format it, then just leave the flash files on it, to reflash again?
How does that work?
Also, I flashed that googleappz package rom too after the cynomod flash, as I was supposed to by wiki manual.
But I cannot find google maps, android market etc.
I wonder if there is any connection to my initial sim card problem.
But first things first I guess...wanna do some calls :\
Thanks so far for all the good souls trying to help me!
try to flash cm7 radio .
What is the difference exactly? Includes a radio option?
Does it also have the option to turn off the led sensor buttons?
Has it an option to do phone calls too?
PS: I cannot seem to find any cyanmod radio file...hmm

O_O OMG!
Seems no SIM card detected....
Very very strange...
Like the fact that you flash GApps and you can't see market...
Did you wipe cache and Dalvik cache?
+ try this:
"Settings -> Location&Security -> Set up SIM card lock -> Lock SIM card (uncheck)"
I found that in some cases might help.

Take a look here and try with JVK if it works...
I wiped everything possible in recovery mode, flashed that ominous JVC rom, then googleappz. At least now I can shop in the android market. But the sim card still is in the land beyond imagination.
Has my sim card been...bricked?
Which other flash files do you suggest me to try out now? Or should I get me another sim card from the store?
Everything's solved! And the solution was too easy to believe...
Checked the sim card slot more deeply and found out that the sim card wasn't placed in correctly. I seem to have taken it out through the flashing process and in all the "commotion" quickly put it in wrong. Sorry for the big fuzz, everyone.
At least now I got some training with flashing.
So, should I reflash the first cyanmod again?
no you don't need to reflash the rom, cause you already flashed twice plus wiped all possible options...!
I just didn't want to ask you to check if the SIM card was insert properly,
but that would solve your issue faster...!
Enjoy CM7!
Well, I had some time to try out the performance and stability of this mod.
Games definitely are running with a some lag (also reaction time of the sensor to control your game, makes them unplayable).
I tried to uncheck the Cyanmod setting option "Dithering" and "JIT"..also put the cpu settings to "performance".
To be sure I formatted internal SD and external SD.
My phone had some problems finding my external SD, but some guy on the net told to go to Cyanmod settings, applications, use internal memory...and now I use my external SD for everything I guess?
Maybe this is because everything is in slowmo?
Maybe the firstly flashed mod was more...stable?
So, my question would be how to use my internal sd card, maybe it gets faster then?

What about changing to kernel infinity?
Hi all - hoping someone can help.
I have a rooted Milestone running CM9. A while ago I turned traitor and went to a Sensation (which I'm now running CM10 on, as an aside).
Anyway, when I went to the Sensation I transferred my SD card as well, of course. And deleted all the Open Recovery files etc that were related to the Milestone (which I put in a drawer, never expecting to see the light of day again).
Now, I want to give the Milestone to my nephew - but need to do a full reset on it.
Which - I can't!
Going via settings/privacy etc doesn't do a thing - completely ignores me pressing "Erase everything". Nothing happens.
And can't hard reset - power on/camera button etc etc does nothing either. Phone just boots up normally regardless of what I do.
I have the SD card back in the phone, btw. As I said, though, it has none of the files I suspect I need. I wouldn't have thought it wouldn't let me do a hard reset though.
So - how do I reset the phone please?

I'd recommend you to update to CM10 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31503988&postcount=1460 ) , or downgrade to CM7 ( https://github.com/nadlabak/android/downloads )

Thanks extrem0 - any reason why I shouldn't keep it on CM9? Was working really well for me.
*Edit - actually, looks like it was CM7 anyway, so all good. Thanks again!
Anyway, you should upgrade to the latest CM7. It contains bug fixes and the latest CM7 features.
I got a Sprint HTC One last week, rooted it, s-offed it and flashed several ROMs on it.
My problem is that in every ROM I've tested, the phone reboots after a couple of minutes.
Here are the ROMs I've tried so far:
- CLEAN ROM SPR 2.5
- CM-10.1-20130714-NIGHTLY-m7spr
- MIUI_m7wls_signed_07042013
- Slim-m7spr-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Deodexed
- Sprint_HTC_One_1.29.651.10_Stock_Odexed_05.17.13
- Stock_w_Goodies_One_1.06
- viperROM_One_v1.1.0
I'm using TWRP 2.5, advanced wiping: dalvik, cache, data, system before flashing the ROM.
Does anyone have sugestions?

I guess that's a slightly different problem then mine.
My phone is S-OFF already and I've wiped and flashed almost every single ROM out there and the phone reboots (doesn't shutdown) every 2 minutes...
After I read some other similar issues, I'm guessing I'll have to use a RUU tool to fix the problem. The other problem is that I only have Mac and Linux...
I've read a post advising to copy the ROM file to the root of the phone's internal storage in order to do a proper flash.
Since I was always flashing the roms directly from an external usb thumb drive, I thougt it was a good idea.
I copied Android Revolution 2.5 to the phone's memory, wiped everything and flashed it. Installation whas OK so I rebooted. When selecting the wi-fi network on the initial setup I received a message saying "avoiding poor signal network" even thoug my router was about 10ft from me. After finishing the initial setup I rebooted the phone and then it got stuck hard.
Even when pressing the power button for over 20 second it didn't shut down. Now I'm waiting for the battery to die so I can see what happens on the next boot.
Again, if someone can help me on this situation, I'll appreciate it...

press the buttons while holding phone under a bright light and it will reboot, if that rom was a 4.2.2 rom from the intl. forum you're going to have to ruu it.

I've only used Sprint ROMs but still got those freaking reboots. Only by using RUU (provided by viperboy) I managed to solve the reboot issue.
Now I'm waiting for a software SIM Unlock solution, since I'm in Brazil an cannot unlock it OTA.
I'll post an update here as soon as I have a solution...
Hey there,
I have a HTC One, T-Mob, 1.29.111.16 .
I unlocked, changed recovery and installed the Revolution HD ROM.
After some usage I tried some other ROMs.
Later I had to setup my work email, and asked me that I had to encrypt my phone in order to setup my e-mail.
I encrypted the phone (took about one hour) and asked me to restart. Everything was fine till I rebooted the phone.
After reboot, I started getting android errors ( some services stopped) . It was asking me to enter my encryption pass but the keyboard was dissappering when I try to enter it.
So basicly I wasnt able to use my phone properly no matter what.
As a solution I tried to hard reset the phone from recovery but my sd card became unmountable due to encryption I suppose.
Becase I cant mount my sd card, basicly I cant reset, or throw another ROM onto it.
I tried to find the original RUU (T-Mob 1.29.111.16) but it seems no one have it for download.
How may I solve this problem? ( I tried to change to CID to be able to use another RUU but I cant write a nes CID also, tells me that SD Error)
Cheers...
