[Q] SD card slot not working after flashing Firerat's recovery

Long story short:
I was running this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926116
and decided to reflash it. After flashing Firerat's Recovery another time (from the same file on the SD card that I have used many times before,) I rebooted into ClockWorkMod recovery and went to flash zip. from sd card but it could not find the sd card and then crashed. I then went into the rom that already existed, it could not read the sd card either. Not knowing what to do, I then went and followed the instructions for "if you found yourself stuck without recovery:" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 here. From there I did a hard reset and now the phone is running Android 1.1, but the Sd card slot still doesn't work.
(Kind of unrelated, when I just got the phone the camera would not work, and would Force Close whenever I tried it. Same thing on any Rom I tried on the G1. After the hard reset however, it started working.)
Anybody know what to do?

CM7 on SD card not loading

I installed the latest update on my SD card. When I insert in into my Nook Color it just goes into Clockwork Recovery. How do I get it to load CM7? When I try to apply the update I get Update aborted.

i am having lots of trouble trying to setup cm7 boot from a 16gb microsd card. it keeps
hanging without finishing the install and when forced reboot it install android but once final reboot, it just keeps getting stuck at either the ANDROID_ SCREEN or the cynogen logo screen. i had a look at the forum pages and some others are also having the same problems with16gb but i can't see any solutions, tho i think there are a few people that have done it. any help would be appreciated. thanks

[Q] SD card problem

Hi guys, my phone had the 10.1 darkys rom installed and all was well. a week later and the phone started to shut itself off randomly so i went back to factory and then reinstalled rom after flashing kernel ect. but my external sd card is not recognized..... so i think that this may have been the random reboot problem {had most apps on sd} so i took card out, put it in computer and no problems at all, all files were still on there and were all readable and writable..... so what could have caused this and how can i fix it? i have not had water get into the phone that i know of and this was the only thing i could think of...... any help appreciated!! p.s. i tried another working sd card and same problem. even when mounting to computer.... nothing.

It could be that your internal SD card is corrupted. If you can back everything up, then do so and I would flash a stock Froyo or Gingerbread rom to see if that fixes the problem.
If you still encounter issues, then your phone may have to visit a repair centre.

The other problem i have encountered is when trying to install darkys rom again, but this time from internal sd, it goes through the motions but then when it reboots rom is not installed and my back and home button dont work, so i go back to what it was and that fixes it. ill try flashing back to bog stock and see if i can get my sd card back. will that remover cwm as well because if i take itback to shop i want that gone..... cheers

Flashing back to a stock rom will remove CWM and put you back on Samsung's Recovery 3e.

Botched custom ROM flash - help

I was in the process of recovering my Captivate - that I had upgraded to Gingerbread - from a corrupted OS. I was able to factory reset back and get the phone running again. While on this forum and getting help resolving that issue, I thought I would see how stable the new 4.2's were. I was walking through the steps of the update and I had just finished flashing CWM with Odin and then it all fell apart.
<<< Noob alert>>> When reading the posts and the walk-throughs, I always read SD Card as the mini-SD card that you add to the phone - the external card. Therefore I put the new custom rom on the external SD.
I wiped the data and went to apply the new rom from zip, and (of course) I couldn't find it. After several tries, I realized my problem. However, my Captivate will not mount my external SD. It is the same one that was in the phone and has been working. I formatted it and checked it for errors - none - but the phone will not mount it. I cannot get access back to the internal SD memory to put the ROMs there - when I turn on the phone is gets to a black screen that says "Galaxy S sgh-1897" and sits there - and my computer does not recognize the phone when I plug it in to the USB.
What can I do? Do you have any ideas?

Here's a good start to get your pc to recognize your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930
From there, flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders in download mode to get your phone back up. I believe to know the steps to flashing a custom ROM
GL!

got it going
Thanks, it's up and running, but I went back to speedmod and tried to update from SD - and it worked, but didn't like the ROM. I'm trying a different ROM to see what the issue is.
Thanks for the help.

You'll have to flash the ROM twice to get past the partition on JB coming from GB.

[Q] Wierd internal SD problem

Hey,
Been trying to reset the tab to factory defaults the tab does his mojo untill it reboots into android 2.3.6 and then everything is still on the internal SD card.
Then i went to hook it up on the pc tried manually deleting everything on the internal SD pc say's its done i look in the tab and its all still there.
Tried copy'ing files over to the SD card but does not wanne stay on it.
Ok now then i went on booting odin up and rooted it + cwm recovery on it it does it like a charm and works can boot into the recovery.
Now since i cant hold any roms on the internal sd card i went on using an external sd card put on cm 10.2 and gapps,
Installed the rom then reboots into a newer version of cwm and it tells me its not rooted.
ok fine i restarted the tab and went back into recovery then it was rooted.
Went on to install the cm 10.2 and gapps now its hanging at the cm logo on boot
So i went on to flash dbdata.rfs.tar wich normally gets me passed a bootloop.
This time however it dident work.
Anybody has any ideas i can still try to get it to work ?
I think its more of a lock on the internal SD card since it can't hold any files nor delete's anything but im not sure hopefully some1 with some more experience then me can help me further on this problem
Thx

Not locked. The internal SD chip is failing.
You will see many post that has symptoms such as: previous owner info cannot be removed. New data cannot be saved. Wiping failed.

My mind was vaguely thinking that but still hoping it wasent
