After I reinstalled the stock LG rom on my OB using the LG Mobile Updater, my phone now shows my internal memory to be 0. I haven't installed any apps yet, what's going on??
From what ROM do you come from?
The v10a. Because of this, I can't install any apps as I get the message saying there isn't enough disk space.
I had the same issue when I flashed the original ROM after removing Nova.
Do a factory reset using the hidden menu.
Then restart the device.
Voila !
Ur back with 1.5 gb internal storage.
Lemme know if it worked.
It worked for me.
Yes! I got frustrated and did the same thing and it worked! Thanks guys!
Glad it worked !
Please help!

yeah what hidden menu?
xweilun96x and Park82 - in your dial-pad press 3845#*970# to enter the hidden menu but you can easily factory reset your phones at the settings menu.

Hi anyone no how to hard reset the Galaxy S..?
knowyourcell.com/samsung/samsunggalaxys/galaxy-s-guides/498616/how_to_hard_reset_the_samsung_galaxy_s.html
Don't know it that works
tried the hardware method didn't work.
u can do factory reset by settings->privacy.
Or you can try *2767*3855#
I'm also wondering how to factory reset!! (yes I know it's in Privacy) but it keeps telling me cannot reset because clear service is not available

did you get any solution for this?
my i9000 says the same "clear service is not available" - none of the suggested solutions works for me.
the reset option in privacy worked for me. my firmware is jf2, by the way, if that matters..
Try this
Shut your Android Galaxy S down (Power off) or remove Battery.
Now press Volume up, Home and Power together.
If the Samsung Symbol is comming up leave the Home Button.
Then there is a boot Menu
Volume Up and Down to Navigate , Home to select the choosen option.

thanks man ,you made job easy.
Isn't hard resetting just removing the battery?

no
hard reset, means something like FORMAT the phone, and restore the backup from Factory
If the phone has already been rooted, will the hard reset "unroot" it, so that you need to reapply the rooting procedure?
depends... to my best "guestimate" if you are on stock official ROM, chances are yes, you'll need to unroot again.
if you are using custom ROM, then it'll revert back to the clean state of the custom ROM you installed
i've not yet had the need to hard reboot, i'll find out in the near future
I just did a hard reset because I want to send my unit it for replacement.
How can I tell if the device is still rooted? I want to make sure they don't see any sign of rooting.
Edit:
The post below explains the unrooting procedure:

But, where can I get the "odin3" for my phone which I bought from Optus Australia?
So the factory reset didn't unroot the phone?

Correct. It doesn't. After the wiping of data, it rebooted and presented the option of running the update.zip thingy, which I did not choose. Yet, it is still rooted. I could still see the icon called user permission. I can still install the screen capture program that requires rooting.
If you want to unroot, you probably have to use the procedure in my link above. The problem is I don't know where I can get e Odin3 file for Optus Australia.
My firmware details are as follows:
PDA I9000DTJF3
Phone: I9000DTJF3
CSC:I9000OPSJF1
When we unroot, this Odin3 thingy is to refresh which portion? All three or just one of them?
I just noticed that after hard reset, my music, video, pictures are not erased.
Isn't this strange?
^^ My internal SD card was wiped clean. Shows 13.43 GB total space and 13.43 available space
Will doing a hard reset reinstall all of the ATT features that were removed after rooting?
I've got a problem with my Galaxy tab. The problems are:
1. Whenever the device is turned off all the files are deleted - like a factory reset.
2. The language always reverts back to Chinese or something like that when turned off and on - I always need to change it back to English.
2. Recorded videos show unsupported file format when attempting to playback.
3. Doesn't charge using the wall charger when it is on but when it is off it's ok.
I've tried some TS like:
1. Factory Reset / Wipe Cache and anything I could see at Recovery.
2. Reflash Gingerbread
3. Tried downgrade to 2.2 - I haven't succeeded yet since I need some files to DL.
If anyone has an idea on how to solve it or encountered the problem pls share some thought.
The main problem I'm really frustrated is regarding the memory problem whereas I can't save any files nor store anything on the 16GB internal memory.
BTW, I'm running on 2.3.3 GB
BB: P1000DXJPD
Thank You.
this is wired ... can u tell us what is your Tab old firmware ?
and did you tried to back into froyo and back again to flash the gingerbread ?

I can't really say what's the old firmware since my mom just gave it to me.
I'll be trying to flash it back to froyo later though I'm still trying to figure out what Firmware I should download since the last time I tried it, the tab only goes to a constant boot loop.
I can't really figure out what's the problem with this tab. It seems like it's using deepfreeze (PC App) Since, the prior files saved are still present even after turning it off. I even tried deleting those files but to no avail after reboot it returns.
So, I'll try flashing froyo and let's see.
Thanks.
what is your tab ? GSM , CDMA ?

It's GSM, I've managed to flashed 2.2 now and the charging issue seems to be solved, could charge it now using the wall charger and via usb.
But the memory problem is still the same.
Let me expand on it a little more.
The internal memory which is 12.82 GB (12.80 Avail) and Internal Device Storage (1.85 GB) seems to be detected by the TAB, the problem is whenever I save a file or anything on it after reboot it's gone but some files (Pics) even though I delete it after reboot it comes back. It seems like the memory is froze or something.
Thanks.

Yes I've used a PIT file. I've successfully flashed it now with the ROM on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=939360.
Still the same so it seems like this is most probably a hardware problem.
I've noticed that when I connect the Tab to my pc as a media storage, I could see the files on the internal memory. I've tried deleting it manually and quick format it. But after disconnecting it the same files returns.
I'm now trying to format it the long way, not the quick format.
I have the EXACT same problem with my Galaxy Tab 7 inch Sprint. My internal memory boots up as read only and resets itself every time I boot the device.
I've been looking for days to figure out what I can do solve this but it really doens't seem promising.
I was able to make the internal memory read writable through adb shell with:
mount -o remount, rw /
The problem is, when I reboot. All the changes are gone. If anybody has a clue please post here or PM me. Thanks!

hey..i tried to flash my phone with rom manager but when my phone rebooted got stuck at "LG" logo...I used LG Update tool emergency recovery...the phone starts,i enter the pin,my sim card unlocks but it doesn't connect to the network and when the homescreen is locked it says security error and at the top it says press menu to unlock but when i press it nothing happens...what should i do???please help..sorry for my english
start the phone without sim and press 3845#*970# in dialer
if is not work, try flashing with stock firmware.
This happened to me aswell, nothing seemed to work... I returned it for service, unrooted and did the SW upgrade so nobody could find out that I had flashed Nova. The warranty should cover this if it is a manufactor problem so I made it look like it was but however I had "LauncherPro plus Menu System" installed so they blamed that and I had to pay for the service... ._. My LG hasn't arrived home yet... after soon a month, damn they are slow.

Factory Reset, then again Factory Reset. It'll wipe all of your data on phone but maybe this will fix it.

man i've tried everything....the only solution is to take it to lg service...just do an emergeny recovery and factory reset to unroot it and delete the apps...
The downsite of taking it to service, is that they upgrade it to v10e, which is extremely hard to root... I've tryed everything now and nothing worked.
I've tryed factory reset, Emergency Recovery with LG tools.Nothing... And take it LG service. Service says, "motherboard will change".So i'm waiting Service.
SOLVED !

I will tell you to use "windows enabler" but if didn't work with I have no idea.
Check if it was "on" at the taskbar.
I had exact the same problem, it occurred after i switched sim's, i was using the nova rom. I sent my phone to the service center (flashed with stock fw before ofc) and they changed the mainboard on warranty.
what to do in windows enabler?
Nothing to do, just install/open it and redo the flash guide

Hy guys.
Yesterday my P970 bricked, it got stuck on LG logo. I than tried to unbrick via KDZ, but no luck there, and then i don't know how, the LG update software detect a new version and installed the Portuguese Vodafone V10B. That would've been good news, but now i have another problem. I'm stuck with v10b and my phone says i have 0.0 of disk space in the phone, so i can't install anything, not even a file explorer, now there's no way of opening files from sd card, like gingerbreak.
By the way, i originally had nova 8, and i had it since the day it came out, and yesterday it bricked...
I can't seem to get KDZ to work with my phone because, i open the program and i get no response from the program, the only button that works is the EXIT button, it doesn't let select anything.
Any ideas?

C'mon, do some research before you post new thread. It was answered many times...
NOVA uses EXT4, Stock ROM uses EXT3, because of that you have 0,0MB storage.
When you do Hard Reset, EXT4 will be formatted again to EXT3.
Do a Hard Reset via Hidden Menu: enter on the keypad 3845#*970# and do Hard Reset.

If it is a problem with the sd card, dismount and mount the card (format) should fix the problem...
If not, re-flash it.
Bahh! i think i found it!
Peeps... don't disable music player in apps
I'm restored phone to factory... and tested app by app (lot of restarts was here =) and after i disabled music player BANG! reboot was broken.
The bad is if you enable it again - reboot will be still broken ... until new factory recovery.

If you had mentioned in your OP that you were screwing around with the apps then you would have got the correct advice a lot sooner, rather than running around in circles. Next time, please post ALL salient information when you ask for help.

Yea.. but i was not sure ... anyway its happens again... and is completely random =( (so - not app problem)
Sometime "Power of and restart" work OK .. next time no =(
Tried with all versions of Euro-open firmware, restored, factory reset and its same story. Strange is that
phone works just normal when i power-on on button (long hold) boots OK and all functions are OK.
I'm noticed that restart is happen when phone check sdcard (or mount) and checks for media (and just power off).
I removed sdcard but problem is still there =(
Is it possible that maybe heat can course shutdown?
Any ideas?

Its not the heat , unless you keep it in the oven while its off, and the oven must be on... :laugh:
Downgrade to a earlyer version, v10a or other, then do a factory reset, upgrade to the latest BY WEB!!! root and factory reset again deleting all data.
Should be enough :fingers-crossed:
