[Q] SGS sd card problem on custom roms (darky and Doc's rom mods)

History
I bought a phone which was on orange-UK, the shopkeeper when gave it to me he used some code which i wrote down on first startup which unlcoked it.
I rooted it > success (with one click root)
ryanZ one click lag fix > did not work, phone stopped booting > went into 2e recovery and factory reset resolved the problem and i didnt tried to lag fix again...
yesterday found Darky's rom and docrom mod
doc's rom mods: http://forum. xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=807848&highlight=doc
darky : http://forum. xda - developers .com/showthread.php?t=814091
and downloaded both....
copied everything needed, installed darky, my both internal and external sd cards didnt work....
flashed with odin on original factory stock eclair rom .... did again .... nothing....
flashed again with odin (coulnt access internal card, obviously) ... stock rom worked fine, both cards mounted....
then didnt do the darky one, did the other doc's .... same problem...
thought there may be some files remaining form the un succesful lag fix of ryanz ...
flashed again with odin, formatted everyhing all memory cards.... did doc's rom, now with sd card sitting on my table rather than in the phone ... internal sd card detected...
inserted external sd , didnt mount... did a couple of times more , no success...
Now I am using doc's rom and I cant use my external SD card... its a 4gig kingston one....
BTW when sd card is not accessible in the O, if you reboot into clockworkmod, it accesses it... so its something else...
I did the following post on darky's thread on page 53 i think... and the issue i thought was this:
"
Hi its me again, i found out where the problem is.... after the rom installs (not just darky, the other doc rom on which its based too) if there is no external memory card installed internal memory card appears fine...
(BTW i used odin to flash the factory eclair, repartition and format everything) after that did that 3 times with ur rom and doc mod one released on the 14th of the month if i remember correctly....
On each boot if there is no external memory card in the slot the internal sd card is usable, if at boot it is installed both are not mounted and are un useable.
Both these roms with the vodoo creates two folder "sd" and "external_sd" on the "/mnt/sdcard" address... and normally on the stock rom this sd folder is where the SGS mounts the external sd as a folder.... so i think vodoo does its magic and so SD cards (external) are unuseable with these roms or this version...
Couldnt quite understand....
Please check this on 3.0 version that if there is an external sd card inserted on the first boot and the subsequent boot as well , is that use able or does it render both the memory cards un mounted and you cant mount them either...
IS IT JUST ME OR SHOULD I POST THIS THREAD AS A SEPERATE ISSUE WITH DARKY / DOC ROMS (i have not tried the slim kalpik+doc version yet, got exhausted after flashing to stock for three times in one day and then reverting back here only to find out that "dont bloody put ur SD in... and use the internal memory only"
plzzzzzzzz help....
"
edit: turns out there is one guy who replied that he is able to access both memory cards on darky.....
Please anybody... Mr. kalpik, Mr. Tayutama, Mr. Docrombone .... (plz dont mind the spell)
Could anybody help.... What is it I am missing.....

Bit strange, first time i see this error.
You have the standard I9000?
What was the stock rom that the phone was shipped with?
Product code on your phone now?

If you are using my files, when it opens it shows /sdcard on top. Scroll down to sd. Thats your external card. Hope this helps.

@ DocRambone
Yes this is standard I9000
i was originally on BVGJ4 i think (something like that ) (the eclair for Orange UK)... i cant quite remember this.....sorry
but then i flashed with odin with the stock rom that i got from the forums.... here
http://forum. xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=816890&highlight=uploading+stock&page=2
then i went into 2e recovery then into clockworkmod and flashed the one i provided link above....
now the product code is I9000HKDXEE in nv_data.bin (used SGS tollbox to see that, its the same as backed up one)
other info currently is:
PDA: I9000XWJP6
PHONE: I9000XXJPM
CSC: I9000XEEJP4
But these things are i presume, due to the firmware currently installed... (i am a newbie, so... dont know abt product code stuff)
Cant we just flash some rom with odin which makes this phone a WWE >>> ?
@ragin
I used the stocck rom from the link provided above....

I used the one link i provided in the post above.... the thing is that if the sd card is in the phone and then u turn the phone on, no card is detected... neither internal nor external,
if not then, if u power it on if the external sd card is out then it shows the internal but when u insert the sd card, nothing happpens...
The rom i installed has already created a folder named "sd" and a second folder "external_sd" on the root of the external sd ..... so external sd is not mounted there...
if you go into recovery and then into clockworkmod recovery and u go into sd cards and mounts and then try to mount the sd it gives an error
/dev/block/mmcblk0 (cant remember exact file name) already exists cant mount sd....
SO thats why i was thinking that maybe voodoo has created some file or this file is causing the problem.
should i try to find where this file is and try to delete from a root file manager...????
I M BLOODY STUCK...
CANT THERE BE A WAY TO FLASH A ROM WHICH RENDERS THE PHONE INTO A FACTORY NEW PHONE STATE AND I COULD PLAY LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE IS???

what are the compatible file systems of the external sd cards for froyo roms??
fat16 / 32 / ext2 / ext 4 ????

@urhhoney
i had the same problem after apllying the darky steel rom on the tayutama rom (i disabled the lag fix first), i flashed the stock WJM9 then the CF root and recovery kernel then darky steel again but the external sd card didnot work but i noticed some errors in recovery mode about mounting the cach folder so i flashed WJM5 then WJM9 and CF kernel then applied darky steel rom and the sd card worked fine this time.

[Q] part of internal sdcard gone

Hi all,
I have some trouble figuring out what's happening with my Galaxy S internal sdcard.
first, I lost part of my phone during a call. phone fell in a rebooting loop. since then ; HELL !
I followed each and every post of about 200 threads to get my phone back like (not limited too) :
- flashed 2.1 (2.2) original firmware with Odin
- flashed all existing ROMS (or almost) with .pit, pda via Odin
- all mount unmount things (now grayed in menu with no available message)
- messing around with adb fdisk, mount, format, etc
- did all possible combination of reset, hard reset, wipe, format from phone or recovery
- tried repartitioning card (with gparted once)
- formating via usb from window 7
well, you got the picture !
now the strange things are :
- phone boot ok with any ROM, now with Darky resurection 10.1
- call, gps, messaging are all ok
- no sdcard visible from within the phone or from windows, so no camera or music or any apps that needs to write to sdcard is possible
- a 2go partition exists on the 16go internal sdcard
- if external sdcard is removed, phone never boot pass logo, although I can go in recovery mode and manage to see all files on internal sdcard with adb shell
- mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p2 are only visible when external sdcard is in the phone so I guess the 14go partition failed once to load and system recorded external sdcard as the internal sdcard.
I need a way to put sdcards in the right place as I'm pretty sure the internal one is not fried but only lost a partition probably due to lagfix or a corrupt filesystem.
I'm no expert at all with linux OS or partitioning but I'm sure that's the way to go and I know there's a great bunch of devoted developers in here
PR
ps. I'm willing to pay if anyone can get me out of there FAST

I suspect this could be down to bootloaders, 10.1 requires ficeto JVH base right ? and that requires GB bootloaders, im not 100% sure, ive not used his roms for quite some time.
but im sure your problem lies there somewhere.

phone boot ok with all ROMs with any XXX base I tried so I installed 10.1
whatever the ROM, issues are all the same as mentioned above
this won't b easy

well flash back to froyo or eclair, use a 3 file firmware with pit and re-partition
then when that is successful flash this : http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/GT-I9000_FROYO_FULL_PDA.tar/download
then report back please
you dont have the I9000 M<< do you ??

ok done flashing
manage to reboot phone WITHOUT external sdcard.
still don't have access to the 14go internal sdcard partition, although ROM is installed on it (maybe on the 2go partition).
external card is recognized but only with unmount option as size is indicating 00 (of 16go) so cannot use it to store anything from phone (camera, music, etc) will try a empty 8go
any idea about internal sdcard ?
few more white hairs

you didnt state whether you had the M version of the SGS, this is known for its internal sd failures.
also boot into recovery, is there any error messages ?

I have Vibrant version from Bell, GT-I9000 from about phone menu
still cannot mount external sdcard
recovery report no error so far

the bell version of the i9000 is the one that suffers from internal sd card corruption.
there have been many reports of this, i feel you could be another on the ever growing list.
Have a read of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=905975
if that brings you no luck, i would suggest you ring bell / samsung for a repair / replacement

[Q] [H] Counldn´t mount SD-Card

I´ve installed ICS 4.0.3. Doctors ROM. Now it doesn´t show up my internal sd card. And now I have to mount my it, the mobile phone says .
Next I tried to flash again, but the problem is already there.
Backup, doesn´t work.
How can I solve that problem?
Please helpme fast.

the external SD card is located at /mnt/emmc

Try using Onecosmic's or Teamhacksung's ICS port!

And there's a slight chance the SD card is broken. It's a slight chance but it happened to me two weeks ago. Try it on another device to make sure.

I have the same problem

Problem solved.
/EDIT
Solution for the others:
1.download stockrom, e.g. 2.3.5 gingerbread, & cf root kernel
2.open downloadmode with 3 button combo
3.connect phone with computer
4.start "odin" and put the parts of stockrom in the program.. flash it
DONE!
for flashing a custom rom u have only to flash the CF root kernel

internal memory card is not available !

HELP
i couldnt use internal and it was so slow so i wipe data + cache , formated memory , then there is no usable memory card when i go to setting > storage /or htc sync shows 0/0 size for my phone. but when i go to app , there is 26GB free storage for apps , how can i convert unusable memory to usable ??? ..... and phone is unlocked , and its not s-off ....
and when iam instaling ruu , when program is sending file , progresing bar doest move and after some times a error will come .
since iam a n00b , is there anyway to update a rom from pc like ODIN (my last phone was samsung ) and not from storage ??
i think i can use a otg and install custom rom from recovery , maybe memory partission will be reseted .....
please help it just a week that i bought it
sorry for my bad english
EDIT
if you have same problem , just flash a rom with otg and a memory flash , it will do it

burnt internal memory

Hello! First sorry of my english!
I have i9000 internal memory of his burnt. As a result, the device turns on only to symbolize Samsung Dwonload Mode and Recovery. I found a solution to put an external sd card partitioned and install ROM through Odin and then error correction dbdata file then the device increases. I Divided with minitool partition but the device did not initilaze. So i installed Recovery blue cwm that comes with cm10.1 (do not remember the version of Recovery) partitions divided his card and rose with the beauty device Orange Rom 2.3.5. currently i have a problem access to my files and when i run camera you get an error "Turn off USB storage". I found solutions to Root the device and install on your computer myphoneexplorer and through root explorer installed on your device. Then access the device via root explorer etc folder name change or replace the file vold.fstab the same file, but the device instruction set that gives access to an external card if it is inside. I did it but without success.
Would appreciate help on this issue and if I was wrong for the whole process I will be happy to correct Thank you very much!
