[Q] Need Help - I think My SD Card is dead - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was using my phone today and it froze. I took out the battery, restarted, and then it got stuck in the galaxy S loop. I factory reseted + wiped cache still no luck. external sd card could no longer be mounted. I tried flashing JL2 and than a speed kernel. The phone then booted up but i couldn't download any apps because the phone didn't recognize an internal or external SD card (wouldnt allow me to save). I also tried just flashing JL2 manually and JH2 without the speed kernel but the phone doesnt even make it past the Galaxy s screen without restarting. Sometimes the phone goes into recovery mode after reboot and it says:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(I/0 Error)
E:copy_dbdata_media: Can't mount SDCARD:
you storage not prepared yet. Please use UI menu for formant and reboot actions.
Is my SD card dead? It seems like it. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated!

How to mount SD card using clockwork or is SD card just corrupt?

Using a Bell i9000M, Doc Froyo XWJPA V7.5
I was using my phone and all of a sudden got a lot of force closes. Tried to reboot and now its stuck on the first Galaxy S screen. I went in to Clockwork and tried to restore from nandriod but nothing changed.
So now, im wondering if the SD card is corrupt. Or maybe I just dont know how to mount the SD card to transfer files using Clockwork.
Please help. I called Bell and theyre no help - they want me to send the phone into service and I probably wont see it for a few weeks, which sucks cause I need this phone for work.
When I plug in to Windows, it recognizes the drives but says insert CD when I click. Al I need to do is mount the SD card.
Please help and thanks in advance.
Have the same problem but its on the g tab after installing my first rom "Vegan" 5.1
it crashed and now is in a boot loop, could anyone help.

[Q] Unable to mount SD card (CWM 3.0.0.6)

I have CWM 3.0.0.6 on an uSD card, and the Nook boots fine into recovery, but when I swap out the card to remove dual boot, I get an error saying E: can't mount sdcard. Any ideas how to fix?
-Kevin
I've had this issue myself a few times.
Typically you'll want to swap out the SD card the second CWM boots up, and if that doesn't work you may want to try flashing CWM internally instead, or simply add the files to the CWM sd card via your phone or an SD reader.
Awesome - thanks Link. Pulling the card immediately after CWM launched enabled the Nook to recognize the card I quickly swapped in.

Internal SD won't mount, partitioning SD fails

With help in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012263) I was able to get my phone booting again, but I'm still having a problem mounting my internal SD card.
With stock JF6:
1. Without an external SD card inserted, the phone boot loops continuously at the AT&T screen
2. With an external SD, the phone will boot, but it gives notifications that it is able to mount neither the internal nor external SD card.
Using the Onix 2.0.3 kernel I tried formatting the internal SD and then partitioning it. This results in an error and Onix dumps the attached log file.
I think this may have something to do with ext4 formatting on the SD as mentioned in the threads below. The Captivate threads, however, are either left unresolved or the methods don't work on my phone. I'm also not sure how to apply the results of the I9000 thread to the Captivate.

Can anyone offer any insight?
Actually, scratch that. Now that I think about it, I had flashed to stock and then to Cognition 4.3 successfully. It was only after loading music on it the next day that it wouldn't boot. Would that just be some corruption on the SD?

[Q] can't mount sdcard from AmonRA recovery

Hello
I have a problem with my N1. It happened while flashing a custom rom - what caused it, I don't exactly know. The problem is, that now, my N1 wont boot. When i turn it on it is just stuck at the 4-colored X. I can boot into recovery and everything, but it can't mount my sd card from here, all i get when trying to do anything related to the card is this message:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)
(No such file or directory)
E:Can't mount /sdcard
All my phone can do now is to get to the bootloader, recovery and fastboot. I'm unable to install a new rom or a new recovery. Actually i'm unable to use my phone for anything.
Hope you guys can help me out
Did you do the obvious and try another SD card?
Or try and fix sd card errors or just full wipe the card??
Yeah, i did try another card and got the same message. Both cards works fine when i tried them in another phone. And yes i did try and wipe the card as well.
You can go to Amon/Mounts and mount card or try a repair sdcard
If you have backup of card, I would reformat (sdformatter) and repartition
Do you use Temasek's System Only Wipe zip between new roms in addition to data/cache wipes?

USB Brick?

Hi,
I am having an issue that I'd hope you would be able to help me with. I flashed CyanogenMod10, and everything was doing fine, smooth performance, reboots with no problems, but then suddenly one day it went bricked. I restored through the SmartFlashTool Method, and got back to the stock Rom with everything working except for the SD card.
I have tried out various stock ROMs and none seemed to recognize the SD card, outputting a message of "SD card removed. Please insert a new one."; getting on to ADB when trying to mount the SDcard I get this message "mounting /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 on /sdcard failed: No such file or directory", and while trying to mount the SD card in CWM Recovery, it tells me "E: Can't mount sdcard", and when I try to mount USB storage through CWM, I get "E:Unable to write to ums lunfile(no such file or directory)", and when trying to mount /sdcard on CWM I get a "Error mounting /sdcard" message... I hope people at XDA would be able to help me since I have been lurking through the forums and internet without any good answer. :highfive:
I was able to mount the SD card through ClockWorkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6, but again, barely at random times when it works, and after installing a ROM those times, the phone usually works for one hour or two and then gets bricked again. I can not have access to another CWM version since I need an SD card to flash it. To install CWM I am using a patched .bin and .fls files in the SmartFlashTool method of unbricking. When the SD card gets recognized, I can even reboot the phone and still get the SD card to be recognized. The SD card problems don't happen until the random bricks after flashing a ROM. :fingers-crossed:
I have also tried using several functioning SD cards of different capacities formatted in NTFS, FAT32 and exFAT with no luck. I am also not willing to go back to stock since it is buggy and lags a lot compared to CM7, CM10 and every other custom rom I have tried. :crying:
Thank you for any help you could provide me, or if you have any answer for this problem,
Pablo Lujambio

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I did try that last time but I only seem to get a "Can't mount sdcard" error. I haven't been able to get the phone to recognize any SD card on v10a, v20a, nor v20b stock roms.
