[Q] Reformatting the internal SD - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I pulled off a derpwad and messed up my internal SD's partition.
I can enter the recovery mode and download mode, but when I go into recovery, it says
Code:
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)
And I was lurking around and found some threads and such. Most saying that they sent their phones back. That's not really an option for me since I've been fighting with Samsung for a bit trying to get them to take it back, but they said I've voided the warranty by unlocking the phone yadda yadda. I can give you the specifics if you want.
I've tried flashing with Odin 1.3, it helped a bit because initially, I couldn't get into recovery. I've tried a few different ROMs, so I won't post them. I couldn't find a stock Android 2.1 ROM, can someone give me a hand?
I think the main problem is reformatting the internal SD to have the appropriate partitions and file systems. I don't know how to do that. I can connect the USB to my computer and make use of adb. I'm pretty tech savvy, but not yet well versed in a linux enviornment.
tl;dr
Internal SD seems corrupted. How do I reformat it correctly?

Hello,
Did you try to flash all the 3 parts of the phone software with odin, with repartition enabled and a valid PIT file?
Download
- PIT 803 file
http://www.multiupload.com/6JX2LEUCTY
- I9000XWJS3 package from samfirmware.com (european for my case), PIT803 version
http://www.hotfile.com/dl/100247999/301207f/I9000_XEN_I9000XWJS3.rar.html
(The pwd is samfirmware.com)
In Odin, tick repartition, for PIT select the PIT 803 file (s1_odin_20100803.pit)
For PDA, choose I9000XWJS3-REV03-ALL-low-CL830616.tar.md5
For CSC, choose GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5
For PHONE, choose MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If all is OK your phone will reboot in recue after the flash and you will be able to format the internal sd from the rescue menu.

This is not corruption. It is simply a failure. There is no way to fix this other than to have the motherboard of the phone replaced.
Sorry to be the bearer or bad news, but hundreds have spent hours on it and not a single person was able to recover from the problem.

I have same problem than you, I fix it with I9000XXJPU version.

problem sdcard gt i9000

my device cant see internal storage at all
when i enter to recovery mode and try to format sdcard it say:
E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcb1k0)
(I/0 error)
error mounting /mnt/sdcard/!
please help my device can't run any program and i thing my sdcard need partition but how??
does it exist a tool to make sdcard partition? or how i can made partition for it
can i do dump for AP NAND? does this solve the problem? my device is international gtI9000 and sdcard is 16GB
1. Wrong Section of the forums
2. Is this a bell i9000m ?
3. If so you got no option aside from getting it repaired from samsung.
What have u done before it ?
does it exist a tool to make sdcard partition? or how i can made partition for it
What's up with you guys? Why the absurd title??
Ciao
can i do dump for AP NAND? does this solve the problem? my device is international gtI9000 and sdcard is 16GB
Isnt this the one fixed by either having the correct PIT file during repartition OR just reformatting the internal SD via 3e recovery ?
Did you try flashing via Odin using 512PIT and Re-partition ticked (preferably an Eclair firmware, some Froyo ones are incompatible with 512PIT+repartition if I'm not wrong)? If not, please do and see if it solves the problem.
i try all that and nothing fix my phone any other idea?
maybe i need a new boot?
Have you flashed JPM/JPA or any JP firmwares recently?
Please stop being a deuchebag and edit this thread's title to something intelligible.
Also read this: http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/a-reminder-from-the-xda-moderator-team/
As a solution to your problem, flash JM8 from over here http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm with PIT 512 and repartition enabled.
Then you can flash whatever you want without repartition.
The end.
Moved to Q&A as not development.
Please choose a sensible title for your thread and post in the right place
thanks every one for their help but nothing work i still with the same problem
maybe the sdcard wasn't work any more so does it could be changed?

[Q] heimdall: how can I flash movinand and emmc files?

Hey guys here is my story:
I flashed my captivate i896 with cyanogenmod cm7 then tried to flash back to stock with a 2.3.4 rom and checked repartition by mistake...after that the mmcblk partition that recognizes all the media in my cellphone was gone, so it doesn`t reads any sd (internal storage, movinand or external sds), it shows unavailable space with internal 16gb, external sds and 0.0k with internal storage.
I have tried to flash with many roms. The only one that could actually boot the phone was a recovery image of i897 speedmode with CWM, but still can recover the deleted partitions. I went into CWM recovery to try to mount or format them, but it doesn't let me.
In conclusion, I though that maybe flashing movinand and emmc files using heimdall could repair my cellphone, I been looking everywhere for information about flashing this files, but couldn't find the files or usufull information about it. I hope someone here can help me.
link to recovery image:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide
All you need to do is flash a stock ROM, from Odin or Heimdall, and a pit file. If you want to use Odin to repartition, it's as easy as loading a pit file in the pit slot, then check repartition. If you want to use Heimdall, you will need to be on Linux instead of windows. If you can use the Odin one click jf6 by designgears(not all phones can use it), it will repartition for you.
I already tried that with no luck, because after flashing back to stock the cellphone can't read the sd so it shows me the following message:
E:Failed to mount...
depending on the build number of your phone, which hopefully its an early build, this should work for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
Did it with no luck.
Hi guys, I keep looking everywhere but haven't g found a way to format the internal storage, no even a low level format

Any resolution to this.. I have the same issue and have tried numerous re-flashes with BL and w/o.. with PIT repartition and several different roms.. all to no avail.

If your phone goes in to download mode you can flash, using Odin, a full stock firmware.
Have you ever update it since you've bought it?

I have a problem saying Cant Mount sdcard
I have the exact same problem as ysr84.. When i click "reboot system now" it just goes back into the boot loop.
Also.. My phone does go into download mode.. I have tried to flash using Odin3 but get the image as ysr84.. My phone then repeats the boot loop sequence..
PS. I do not know which firmware the phone started with, I have been flashing with JVR.
Since I bought the phone I have not tried to update it, I think there was no available update.. =/ not 100% sure..
Although when flashing with JVR I get the "Can't mount etc"

Hello, I have tried to flash my phone with 'any' firmware as I do not know which firmware my phone was on before.
It maybe a trouble with partition.
You can try to re-virgin your phone by flashing an old eclair (JM8/JM9) firmware always using odin with pit 512, re-partition flagged.
Be careful if using a copy with bootloader.
After that (if phone boot regurarly) you can get any gingerbread firmware, obviusly if you used in the previous step bootloader for eclair firmware, than you'll get a copy of gingerbread with it's bootloader.
But i'm not sure this helps you.
Hope you solve this, guy.

If you, using 7ZIP, extract the archive PDA.TAR.MD5, from a package firmware with 3 files+pit512, you'll find boot.bin and sbl.bin.
boot.bin --> primary bootloader
sbl.bin --> secondary bootloader
I hope you don't mean what does a bootloader with your question.....
You'll have to try flashing different ODIN or Heimdall Stock builds. Unfortunately, it may or may not fix your problem. Make sure you have a USB Download Jig just in case because you'll probably get times where it looks like it won't turn on and its the only way to get it back up and running. If all else fails and your warranty is still intact, use it. These are the early signs of internal SD Card failure. If warranty is not an option, you should be able to use the external as your primary partition and lose the internal completely. Its what I'm doing currently on my i9000M with the infamous broken internal SD Card. My internal SD Card is gone completely but everything is running under my External SD Card perfectly.
Okay, so it's included within the three files + pit. That's okay, I thought there was more then four files after the extraction.. I am downloading JM8... Will tell you how I get on.

Could you perhaps guide me on how to do so, I also think my internal SD CARD is also "buggered"..
Thanks in advance..
Woah WOAH WOAH HAHAHA!... Its alive... slightly! It turns on with the galaxy S logo and does some sort of sound thing.. =/ then turns off! But wahay!... Thanks Umberto1978..
I did this by first flashing JM8 PDA with repartition off...
Then flashing JM1 PDA PHONE AND CSC WITH 512 PIT...
on restart this happened..
Sure. This is what I did on my i9000M. Internal SD Card is useless so everything is now running off my External 8 GB microSD.
Go to this page and grab Heimdall and JVT build:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196179
Heimdall: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/
JVT: http://www.multiupload.com/QMORULUWRQ
ODIN may work but I haven't tried it out myself and the packages above are made specifically for Heimdall. Set up Heimdall along with its specific drivers (included in Heimdall) to allow it to flash the phone.
- Make sure you have an external SD Card in your phone and make sure its formatted to FAT32.
- Flash the Heimdall JVT build with repartion checked using Heimdall
- Once it reboots, it'll try to format the SD Card but fail to do so and give you an error message. Ignore it and reboot the phone.
- It should now boot into Stock JVT firmware. If you go to your Storage under settings, you'll notice that Internal and External SD Card will be unavailable which is expected. You'll have 2 GB of internal storage for apps and whatever other things.
- You have two options here: 1) Continue using stock JVT; 2) Flash a custom ROM.
So let's say you want to flash a custom ROM like Cyanogenmod or MIUI. Fire up Heimdall again and go back into download mode. Flash the CF-Root for JVT kernel by Chainfire using Heimdall:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15188469&postcount=9
This will allows you to flash CWM files. You can now install Cyanogemod or whatever custom ROMs you like.
Switching the primary partitions:
Cyanogenmod has a setting where you can switch the primary partitions in Cyanogenmod settings.
Cyanogenmod Settings --> Application --> UNCHECK use internal storage --> Reboot. Your External SD Card will now be the primary partition.
For myself, I am currently running Galnet's MIUI ICS. It doesn't have the Cyanogenmod settings above. I instead use the vold.fstab trick to switch the two partitions. If you navigate to "system/etc" folder, you'll see a file called vold.fstab. Open it with Notepad++ or some other note editor. You'll see the following (this is only for Galnet's MIUI, other ROMs will have something similar. Just switch the partitions like below):
Code:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard/external_sd auto [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0[/U]
# external sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 [U]/devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2[/U]
Switch the two underlined around and push the vold.fstab back into system/etc/ and put the correct permissions. Your external card will now be your primary partition and your internal SD card (unavailable) is the external.
So why switch the partitions? You don't necessarily have to but if you want your phone storage to be neat, do it as it changes your sdcard mounts around, etc. You'll also get back USB mounting functions which you can't do with the internal storage being unavailable and the primary partition.

Yeah unfortunately, you have the dreaded Galaxy S bootloop. Internal SD Card is probably toast. You can test this by removing the External SD Card and trying to boot. It most likely won't get as far. What happened is that ODIN flashed Android to your external card and trying to boot off it.
I have tried to use heimdall, and once it had loaded and the phone rebooted I did get the error message, however after ignoring this, once I had rebooted the phone it goes back into the boot loop.?

Have you tried reformatting your external SD Card? Just format it to FAT32 and then try again. Also, first boot may take a few minutes. You can verify that its booting fine by using logcat if you have ADB installed on your computer.
Flash jm9 mate, not jm8. Seems to resurrect better. With odin. Pit 512 with Repartition.

I am at work but will give this a shot... I also found a lot of people resolved problem by using JM8 with repartition and 512 pit
then with JPM & pit 803 with no repartition ticked...
Use Odin 1.3... 1.8 wont allow you to tick and untick with a repart file...
Will post results tonight... its been two days and i have tried everything...

[Q] Bricked/bootloop/no -recovery/ odin cant read file error, HELP?

Hi,
Ive been trying to get this phone working for about 2 days straight now. Tried all kinds of flash methods and so on.
But as of now, im officially stuck, and i dont know what to do.
I have this SGS i9000 with almost certain a broken internal SD (not sure, this is what i have tried to fix by flashing different roms/bootloaders/pit files,U name it)
I'm now at a point that only download mode is available and when trying to acces any recovery (original or CWM) i get the nice brick screen(phone --- ! ---- pc picuture)
Any Help would be apreciated.
Sorry for my bad english, im from Holland.
I don't know the original firmware or anything, i got this phone with bootloop error from a friend.
Thank you for all your help...
[EDIT1]
I am able to enter the Original recovery now, but a lot of errors are on the screen:
Do note that, there is NO simcard and NO External SD-Card in the phone present!
The errors in normal recovery are:

when you get this (phone --- ! ---- pc picuture), you need to re-flash the correct kernel or correct ROM as its stuck in incomplete flashing.
when you get this cant mount /data your storage not prepared yet you may have mp3/junk file stuck in data and causing the issue, so remove Ext SD card, remove sim card before flashing dbdata.rfs file from here
IF that did not resolve it , flash a rescue kit from above link used for unbricking. i9000
Important
make sure your unit is i9000 and not a variant of i9000
charge your phone fully before flashing

Thank you for your reply,
I checked via Imei number what type of i9000 it is and its a i9000.
The phone is without a sim and external sd card.
As of this point a flashed other stuff and i now get failed to mount sdcard (file exists)
copy dbdata media: cant mount sdcard
please use ui.. bla bla...
media files copy failed.
Apllying Multi CSC
Cant acces system csc/kor/system.
Succesfully applied multi csc.
Is there a way to figure out what the correct rom should be? or is there like any 'universal' rom that would work on all i9000 phones?
I read your rescue page, and tried the one click jar file inside your resque kit and also via Odin but still i keep getting errors.
The original problem (when i first got the phone) is a couple of bootloops and eventually it would boot into android.
Whipe of data and cache would solve the problem but it got worse and eventually it resulted into a bootloop from which he booted into android after about an hour or so...
I though i had the right kernel/rom.. and so on...
I did flash a speedymod kernel which booted right into android and with sdcard function.
But it would give errors and bootloop and crash diverse apps (system apps)
I have rooted diverse types of phones before so i am not a complete noob in this area...
Any help on how to continue?
Thnx
[EDIT1]
After flashing dbdata i still keep the same error.
The rescue kit from ebase the download link of the pdf isn''t working.
Any help on that?
I will try all rescue kits available...
and let u know what it does(little hope but)
[EDIT2]
EZBase rescue kit gave me the following errors:

I already tried de SGS resque kit but it also failed...
Any help ?

Did a whipe cache partiton and data/fact reset...
Now when booting into normal rescue i get this:
Copy media files

this would be the clue as to one of the problem you may be having, basically at some point the phone must have been formatted to ext 4, as such samsung Stock rom will not be able to use it .
The solution here would be to flash a speedmod kernel for 19000 ( look in My Android collections ( link below) under kernels and flash that to get CWM, untick Auto reboot in Odin before flashing after that get into CWM recovery and format system & Data or everything back to RFS using CWM universal lag fix menu.
you can also look at My android solutions (link below) for solving mmcblk0p2 problems

Basically this means your Internal SD card is corrupt , you can try ADB whilst in Recovery to see if you can pull anything from your internal SD card. Look in MY Directory (link Below) about ADB, if you are not familiar about ADB
or you can push a custom ROM into it to flash with CWM
The other option to get phone booting would be to use a two primary partitioned External SD card to act as the Internal SD card.

Ive tried a lot of stuff but adb won't recognise my phone...
I don't get an android device listed in my hardware devices list... only under usb devices it will say a composite usb device...
Even tried a other pc (which is fresh) but no luck either.. when i put my own phone on the same usb cable it recongises it straight away.
So no probs with usb cable/pc.
Any help? external SD-card option, not an option in this case...
Any other thoughts?
thnx for all the help!

Even tried a other pc (which is fresh) but no luck either.. when i put my own phone on the same usb cable it recongises it straight away.
So no probs with usb cable/pc.
Any help? external SD-card option, not an option in this case...
Any other thoughts?
thnx for all the help!

Your SDK manager must have installed sources for your Android version to be able to run ADB and recognize the phone. Did you do it?

At the moment im able to get a bit further with adb.. only when my phone is in recovery it says in adb device offline...
Any ideas on howto proceed?
In android system recovery i get the following errors:
failed to mount sdcard (file existst)
copy dbdata media cant mount sdcard
the rest seems to work.. but the phone stays in bootloop.
Whiping / clearing doesn;t help.
I tried flashing a lot of stuff, currently im on darky rom ressurection 10.2
Somebody have any idea on howto proceed?

Samsung stuck in logo bootloop! HELP please!

So this is what happened, one day I went to get my phone (Samsung Galaxy S I9000) and he was off. I turned it on but then it started in a SALMSUNG LOGO bootloop, never booting into android. What i've done was flashing him to stock ROM (Froyo 2.2.1) following this toturial - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647890 everything went good during flashing. The problem was when the flashing was over, the phone went to the recovery mode and there were errors (you can see below). I rebooted the system but the SAMSUNG LOGO bootloop was still there. I need some help 'cause i dont know what i should do right now.
This are the errors in the recovery menu:
update media, please wait
E: Can´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)
E: copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions .
copy deafult media content failed.
I really need some help because im new in this stuff of flashing and using programs like ADB and stuff. Sorry for me being a noob.
PS: Sorry for my English.

With PIT files, the internal SD card needs to be re-formatted. If it fails in the recovery, you need to format it with your PC.

Thank you very much for your answer. Can you please tell me how can I format the internal SD card via computer? Because the phone wont boot so the computer can't format the internal via windows. Do I need to use some program to format the phone while he is in Download Mode or something? If Yes wich one and how?
Thank you again for your reply!

Can your phone go into download mode? If yes, you will need to flash dbdata.rfs via ODIN unda PDA. If recovery prompts for cache, you will need to flash cache.rfs in the same way. (Odin only accepts .tar files but I've attached all of the files you need).
For more help, ask for help in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444308 . There is a guy who is experiencing exactly the same problem but his phone is completely stuffed. Give my method a chance anyway.

I've done what you say and what says in that thread but the errors are the same and the bootloop is still here, im starting to think that the internal sd is somehow damaged or something. Do you know a way to know if the sd card is damaged or not?
