Basically in a nut shell ive been hit with a problem that i cannot fix :
Im totally locked out of the Internal SD card on my Samsung Galaxy I9000
- ive tryed to format the internal SD card throu the phone
- unmounting SD card and formating / which shows 13.49 g avaliable / once the phone has been rebooted the information files have returned including music i had put on there before and the memory is show 7gb used.
- clockwork recovery's repartion or format has no effect.
- roms cannot be flashed via sd card because the internal sd card does not allow any information/files to be saved.
- i can flash rom throu odin but the previous information on the internal sd card conflicts with the rom.
- when a rom is installed then google apps / gmail / autosync of contacts do not work even if i create new contact it does not save.
- *2767*3855# does nothing and many of the others people suggest
This orginally started with errors and android being unstable msg's and the 3 buttons glitched and after research i
been able to get a stable rom the issue with the internal SD card is still there.
Is there anyone with a similar problem and may have found an answer... PLEASE HELP
Hello, I have the same problem. It seems to me like an readonly filesystem. Even From the recovery menu (VolUp+Home+Power) there is no way to format and reset the phone.
+1... same issue here!!
Well guys! , i was also stuck in the same problem !

Like the topic says I need to root my phone without internal or external SD card access.
I would like to do this so I can try to backup my nv_user and related files before I try another partition since I have had no luck finding a solution to being able to mount my external or internal sd cards.
I have the "Mount Point absent or incorrect." error dialog showing up in my status bar.
I tried searching for solutions to both problems but Have been unlucky so far.
For sgs u definitely have a internal sd.
you definitely have an internal sd-card. however if you want to do it without or have problems with it you can flash a kernel+su with odin: thread on samdroid
cheers, jo

Phone says neither them are mounted. Same as in the recovery mode. When I check the sd card and memory in the settings menu both are unavailable. It says I am running off 2 gigs of system memory.
So yes I have an internal sd card. It just won't mount and in recovery mode it won't be found.
That's why I said it wouldn't mount. Not that it didn't exist.
I trying not to flash the phone until I can make a back up of thee nvdata files. So I will check the kernel flash and hopefully it won't effect the nvdata. But I'm guessing it does.
I should have stated a different Title for this thread as my real problem is either Int/Ext SD card corruption or something else deeper within the phone.
I will try formatting it with ubuntu like someone else suggested. That will have to wait until I get home and take a bit since I have no linux experience.
Also, the memory *2gb is showing is labelled as Internal Phone Storage.
Thanks
I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that your phone wont flash anyfirmware after JPC right?
Let me know how it goes.
I can flash but it took some messing around. None of the other firmwares even the stock bell one are stable now and I have no access to either the int or ext sd card. Just the 2gb internal non-sd memory. And after JPC my signal is pretty messed up.
My (wifes) phone now also says internal sd card unavailable.
Is there a solution to this? Happened after I upgraded from JH2 to JM6. The same upgraded process worked on my phone (followed the guide exactly).
Guys, just have a look around these forums or use the search button. This is the most common issue with the I9000M and there is no need for another thread about it.
Hey guys,
I just lately updated my CM7 from an older revision of it, (I think the thread for development was removed? I couldn't find it again) and installed the latest galaxysmtd (whats an mtd?) package on my phone. Prior to that, anyhow, I had an SD card issue.
- The 'SD Card' of the phone was unavailable (total and current usage)
Internal SD card was almost full (shouldnt be, but whatever)
My external worked fine.
Now, I removed my external (I didnt want it to get accidentally formatted etc) and I formatted my entire phone, wiped everything etc., and restarted and now both my Internal SD Card, 'SD Card' and External SD Card (external should be like this because its not in anymore) are unavailable. My phone pretty much just said I have 0 memory.
How can I fix my SD Cards ...?

First, as to your opening questions....Brother, if you are asking what MTD is the you have a LOT of reading to do. GO to the CM7 Dev thread and get started.
As to the SD card issue...you FORMATTED the SD card, that is erased it fully? That may help explain why it is unavailable.
What firmware are you running at the moment?
Haha, I would assume so.
My SD card(s) were not working previous to the format nor prior.
My phone is the Bell Vibrant I9000M
I'm using the CM7 06132011 Nightly (Todays)
and my kernel is 2.6.35.7-g2eb7780 [email protected] #1 (if that helps .. )
:\
EDIT::
So.. I google'd MTD etc., lol and MTD is a seperate partition?
Maybe thats why my SD Card isnt working.. its not on the right partition in the first place?
-> was looking here.
I have switched from using default Xperia x8 2.1 to CyanogenMod 7 RC1 V3 found in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237930
However, this version of CM7 won't read the SD card. When I go into settings - CyanogenMod Settings - Application, I can't check/uncheck the Internal storage box option. So the SD card is not simply disabled in settings, the system indeed can't see it.
Recovery also doesn't see the SD card. I tried mounting it, formating it, Recovery keeps popping up the "can't write to SD card" (or something similar) error.
However, when I boot up the phone normally, and remove the SD card, phone will notify me that the SD card is being ejected.
SD card is in order, I tried inserting it in another phone, and everything works fine. So that is not the issue.
Can someone please help me with this? I wanted to post this in it's respective thread, but it's impossible because I have less than 10 posts.
Thanks.
Format your Sd card to "FAT32", Backup before Format.
Did that, still the same result. Any other ideas?
Edit: I also tried formatting sdcard to Ext3, still nothing.
I just restored the original 2.1 software via Sony PC companion in the end, and switched to ginger. Everything seems to be working fine now.
You can lock the thread, as far as I am concerned. Thanks anyway.
Hi guys, I have the following issue. I installed a SD card but when plug-in it to my computer only the internal SD would show ( I was expecting both ), then I went to Storage on the phone and it was showing there, so I chose format in case that cuold help but now it's gone from there too
Anyway, since I can't seem to fix that for now, can I copy a rom into the internal SD and flash it? I don't know if CWM will be able to search there or if a certain wipe will format my internal SD.
Help would'be much appreciated.
recent versions of CWM have an option in the zip-flashing menu for flashing from internal storage.
I created a folder named CM in th internal sd and flash everything from there. Just remember the folder and you can moce item with root broswer or directly download there. In my case /mnt/sdcard/cm

Ummm
Hello everyone and thanks for being here to help people like me.
First of all,sorry for my bad written english,(i`m from Romania) and sorry if opening this thread was a bad ideea. I apologize in advance.
Ok. My problem is with my Samsung Galaxy mini II. Today i wanted to put a game on it and i`ve copied data files on my sd card. It didn't work. Then i tried to download game data via Wi-fi from the game menu. A message comes up that tells me i don`t have enough space on my phone`s internal memory. I don`t know why it didn't downloaded directly to may 8gb sd card. Ok. I`ve searched the internet and find SwapSD. I heard that you can make your sd card being recognize as internal memory. I installed it,run it,exactly how i was given instructions. And then i wanted to erase all my data from both internal and external memory so i can install everything on the bigger memory space.After i formated via recovery my sd card dosen't show up in storage,under settings section. Now i`m trying to install the stock rom but when i press install from sd card it says E: Can't open /sdcard/update/zip (bad)....
Can anyone please help me with this situation ? I just want to have my normal 2.3.4 rom and a working sd card.
Thanks in advance.
Problem Solved !!! Please delete the thread. Thanks.
