Due to a series of unfortunate events, I ended up accidentally wiping my internal sd card. I don't know what the work around for this is, but I've searched for hours and can't find an answer. I have backed up my data to my laptop, but I had to send my laptop back to dell for repairs a week before. I got lazy and didn't back up the data to my desktop so now I am in big trouble.
I can still access download/recovery mode, but I can't odin to stock because I virtually have NO files on this phone apart from CWM folder.
I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to send me their system files whenever they flash back to stock, or if anyone has a work around for this.
Thanks.
uummmm what??
you dont need any files on your sdcard to flash in download mode. boot into download and flash to stock with odin...
you do have the drivers installed on the computer right?
here is the stock rogers odin package

Hi,
I'm pretty sure the microUSB port on my AT&T Captivate is shot... It will charge using the outlet adapter, but will *not* charge or connect to any of several PCs. I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers multi times, and another Captivate exactly like it connects just fine (with same cable, same port, etc.) Good news: it's still under warranty. Bad news: it's been rooted and updated with a "Low-designgears" util.
Do I need to revert to stock in order to return for warranty, and is it possible to do that if the phone can't connect to a PC?
Stupid questions probably. Thank you.
I would think that you need to return to stock...you can chance it. But it's up to you.

What firmware are u on? I think there was a cwm flashable stock somewhere...don't know if that would help.

There is a cwm flashable jh7 but I think it only works from 2.1. Might work with 2.2 but if all else fails format boot in recovery and tell at&t your phone said there was an update and it failed. I would probably format system, cache, and data too just so there isn't any evidence of your wrong doing. Unlikely it would ever find its way back to you though. Has worked for a lot of people.
It should hard brick your phone though

Firmware is 2.2. Thanks for the help. I'll look for that cwm flashable, and consider my options. Thanks.

1. As long as it's rooted he can replace 3e recovery, install cwm, and flash that from 2.2.
2. Formatting does not hard brick. Why would there be an option that would completely **** your phone? Like a self destruct button that could accidentally be pressed if you don't know what you're doing. Makes no sense.

Sorry, back again guys...
I've got cwm installed but I can't find a way to get past 3e recovery. I tried to flash cwm recovery from rom mgr - and it says current recover is cwm 2.5.1.2 - but going into recovery mode still shows 3e (don't know what cwm recovery should look like). Flashing any rom (tried a couple customs too) dies with sig verification error.
been searching for a few hours on replacing 3e, but everything i run across requires ability to connect with the pc.
any idea how i can replace 3e recovery without ability to connect via usb?

The second method does not require a pc. Download the fix files with your phone, then download a file explorer from the market that has root access, root explorer, file expert, astro file manager to name a couple. Paste in the file reboot into recovery, reinstall packages twice and that will boot you into cwm, which its green with more options...
brick the phone n say kies ****ed it up. that worked for me.

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.
you mounted what? why? dont.
BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!
thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)
what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*
if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.
edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?

that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...
which odin one click?
Maybe he just did that...

So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.

Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
Sent from my I897 using xda premium
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
yeah thats a must do.
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.
Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.
from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7
Sorry

Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.
From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Once Again thankyou for your kind Reply!
This is the stock image (flashable via fastboot) from here, with the recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-crespo.img in place of the factory recovery.
Download
I intended it for ease of running stock with cwm, and to have all the useful things for getting back to stock in one place, or to recover from a bad flash...etc.
It is not rooted, straight stock jro03e, no mods (other than swapping recovery).
I'm not going to do a cwm version, get fastboot running!
If you want root, flash root from the attachment in this post.
Good idea! :good:
Thanks Man!!!
This will help my nexus during the continue flashing!!!

And according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1750726 you may get the update running this.
I am running stock, rooted, aosp kernel...I guess I may see if I get JB update ota. Unless, of course, someone posts it here before I get it lol.
Hey i have a stock NS tmo running ICS and I want to unlock it, get CWM, so i can try a JB ROM..... But the problem is my micro usb is broken or something I cant connect to a pc or a mac via the file manager nor via cmd/fastboot.
So my question is this is i flash this via fastboot will it replace the stock recovery even though Im not unlocked?

Hmmm....I never tried it while locked, but you will need your usb working even if it is locked. This is all via fastboot over usb.
I would try a different usb cable, beyond that it sounds like it may be a hardware problem, and I don't know how to fix that.
I updated the first post for JRO03E with touch cwm.
tnx!
It happened when I plugged my tab and my USB drive when I was trying to burn Windows 8 on my flash drive, but I accidentally selected my tab then the files inside were erased and formatted. Now It can't be mounted. Anybody knows what's the best solution to do?
Erm best bet hope your warranty is not out and have the company fix it or give you a new one. Sorry to hear such a thing happen but as far as I know, this has never happened before to anyone on here so yeah bring it to manufacturer

Restock with pit file again, you lost all your data though (already)
And, if that doesn't work, install overcome ROM 4.1.
Someone told me the internal sd only got reformatted during the Overcome ROM install, not during the Odin restock or Overcome kernel flashing.
I said that because I have been doing restocking and each time my internal sd was intact.
1. Do you have recovery? If so is it custom? 2. Have you tried Odin or Heimdall?
If you can still reach a downloading screen you're in luck. If you have cwm then could try a rom that has a cwm zip... try the cwm first. If you dont have it then you would have to use odin or heimdall to flash it. If you dont have either then... well im fairly sure you are hosed.
Hi guys.. so much thank you for all your help. ODIN cannot read my tab, only my ADB can read my tab. I am downloading heimdal and gonna try it with heimdal. I also can go to recovery mode. what I am trying to do now is put any custom ROM in my external sdcard then try to flash it there. but gonna download some ROM first..
I successfully restocked it. but now when I try to mount it. it says
Blank USB storage blank or has unsupported filesystem
Gonna flash Overcome ROM right now. please help me guys.
Installed overcome. still my Internal SD Card cannot be mounted. still saying Blank USB Drive. any help guys?
Got it fixed!
So much much THANK YOU with all you guys. I got it working now.
I flashed stock rom with heimdal
flashed overcome kernel
flashed overcome ROM
ticked the Blank USB notifcation and attempted me to format the drive.
then VOILA!!
thank you very much again guys. sorry for the duplicates though.
Glad you got it working. Wish I could say the same for mine, but that's a different story.
Ok so, I was trying to update my rom and managed to get my phone stuck in a boot loop with no backup on the phone (I pulled it off thinking I could put it back on in recovery). During the rom install I did a wipe witch turned out to remove the rom file as welll. So I have been trying to move a backup onto the phone but have not had any luck. I have a stock rom and odin but no idea if it's the right one. I have been trying to reinstall the firmware but that is not working either. I'm running out of ideas on what to do. I have no idea what the status of the phone is right now because I'm sure I have messed it up more by trying to fix it. At this point I want to just get the phone back to factory status so I can move files back onto the device.
If you are previously rooted. Just making sure... if you flash the latest twrp.. it'll let to plug into your computer and access your memory.. so you can put something on it to flash. But only do it if you have previously rooted.
