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.

Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .
Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?
Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.
I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?
Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.
I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."
I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost
No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.
Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.
Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?
If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away
"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.
Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.
Hey guys.
I have a problem.
I am on this ROM: ICS StuNNeR - 1.4.26.1
Now when I mount the USB storage, it pops up on my computer but then the phone freezes and I cannot copy anything to the internal/external storage.
A reboot is required to get the phone back to normal.
However, sometimes the phone does not freeze in USB storage mode, but as soon as I try and copy something to the internal/external SD card, the copying process freezes and nothing gets copied over.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
I have done a clean install of ICS and it is properly rooted etc.
Regards.
OMG, I am on ics stunner and i have the same problem
I thought i was the only one with this problem.
looks like were on the same boat.
I hope someone has a solution to this.
Im not sure if this problem is related to ics stunner but i cannot seem to flash anything
The flashing process just freezes.
Any help would be appreshaited.
Hey.
I too thought I was the only one. I have used the search function within the Stunner thread and on google/XDA but I cannot find a solution.
I never had this problem on any other ROM and Stunner is my first ICS Rom... so it is definitely something to do with the Stunner Rom. Could be a small setting/tweak that has to be made.
Also CWM does not let you use USB storage in ICS so I cannot even copy files from my computer to the phone that way..
and I do not have a memory card converter... Micro to Full size SD so I cannot copy files that way either.
So right now I cannot copy the new Stunner ROM to flash
It is my first ICS rom too.
I had to use a sd card adapter to transfer files, but this is a long process.
Hi. I need to buy an adapter from Amazon UK...
No I have not tried flashing another ROM... Reason being that I cannot transfer files to my phone... though I will try using Dropbox..but thats long!
I like this ROM though...everything works and 2days + battery life.
Hi all,
I am quiet new in try ROM's. Desperately looking for help/guidance. I am very much interested to try ICS and though of flashing DjangoManouche X 1.1 (NoOC) rebuilded on 30a. Till this morning, i was with Temasek unofficial GB rom.
I downloaded the rom - DjangoManoucheX1.1KoBNoOC.zip but did not move to external SD card. I followed the instructions the below instructions.
1. To change partition layout from old to new (if you come from GB roms) and unlock bootloader using AIO tool by Spyrosk.
2. Flahed New v30a recovery v6.0.1.5 based on v30a kernel.
3. Cleared Dalvik cache.
I could login to recovery without any problems. Now in order to flash new Django's ROM, i need to have the zip file my SD card however i dont have it. How do I install the new ROM now without having it SD card.
I tried CWM sideload to move the zip file however it threw error "adb sideload failed to write protocol fault error". Please help me to move the zip and install this new ROM. I tried using the SD card with a reader in my laptop however it didnt detect (perhaps due to new formatting?)

Hey i got a way to move the zip to SD card from CWM recovery. I mounted as USB storage from CWM and then my computer detected it without any problems
Btw, i am exploring the ROM. It is butttery smooth and looking great. Thanks Carburano. Happy new year..
you could have also put it on internal card, no need for sd card... works flawlessly...
Hey All -
So even though I'm running two successfully rooted Samsung Captivates, both running the Dark Knight Rom Cyanogen 9 CWM, I'm super new to this, and am in need of some serious assistance. Recently my phone was accidentally factory reset by one of my kids, and after that it wouldn't boot. Luckily I bought some little gadget that shorts something in the device and puts it into download mode (it's been so long I have no idea what it was even called at this point). Anyway, I was able to flash the stock 2.1-Update1 Rom to the phone - which worked. Except ever since then I cannot download anything. I can't update anything. It says the internal sd card cannot be mounted, along with the external sd card. I know there's space - and the external sd card is 16Gb also. I'm really not sure what's going on. I've read somewhere that it could be some kind of corruption - but how do I format the internal drive if it can't mount or recognize it?
Any help is greatly appreciated beyond words. Thanks!

I'm not so sure why your internal and external aren't mounting but try to flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
That will give you stuck 2.3.5 (GB). From there, you can follow this link to root and get cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1 . -If you wanna get into custom ROMs, simply look in the Dev section for one that you like and follow it's full instructions.
I'm not 100% sure flashing Odin KK4 will fix your issue but it's a first step, let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice. So - using the Odin KK4 Bootloader one-click worked well - My device is now running GB 2.3.5. However, I still cannot mount the internal or external SD cards. I know this isn't the hardware in the device, because one thing did change.
When I was running Eclair 2.1-update1, I couldn't download or install ANYTHING - as SOON as I began a download it would FAIL - because it was reading there was no space. Well, After using the Odin one-click, the phone is partitioned differently, and I CAN download and install apps. BUT - here's what it says under settings/Storage Settings:
-------------------------------------
SD Card
Total Space:
Unavailable
Available Space:
Unavailable
Mount SD card
Mount SD card*
Format SD card
Erases all data on device's SD card, such as
music and photos
-----------------------------
USB storage
Total Space:
Unavailable
Available Space:
Unavailable
Format USB storage:
Erase all data on device's USB storage, such
as music and photos
------------------------------------
System storage
Available space:
1.77GB
--------------------------------------------
So I'm able to use the partition for "system storage" - I downloaded and installed an app just to be sure, and sure enough, my internal storage went from the 1.77Gb to 1.76 Gb - and the app installed properly.
When I try to use the camera, an error message reads:
"Turn off USB storage before using camera"
Also - when I try to click "Mount SD Card" under SD Card in storage settings it just sits there saying "mounting SD Card" until I give up and quit. It never actually mounts. Someone mentioned doing an RUU, or that I possibly lost my IMEI? But let me preface this message by saying I have knowledge of neither of those things. And it's a Jig that I use to put myself into download mode. Such a noob. lol. Thanks for the help so far. We're making progress...
Sheesh... So I just removed the SD card (external micro sd card) and immediately it told me it had been removed. Then an error proceeded to appear which disappeared too quickly to write down. It was something along the lines of:
"Process android. media.hub has stopped working...."
Then the phone reboot, and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop, where it simply continuously plays the opening 3G ATT intro video followed by the galaxy S intro video then repeats - for eternity. I've removed the SIM and Battery and tried again. Same results. So now it appears I"m stuck in an endless boot. Should I re-flash with Odin?
UPDATE:
So I ended up re-flashing - but this time, I took out the External SD card (I had left this in previously). This time - after showing a PASS with Odin and rebooting - applying the update FAILED. It said it couldn't mount E:/. I did this two more times to ensure this was not a fluke, and reached the same outcome. So I slapped the external SD card back in, and re-flashed, and VOILA - it worked. I'm back up and running - though STILL not able to mount my internal or external storage - and apparently - if I remove my external card, I'll enter an endless bootloop until I re-flash.
Did u try... pull battery, replace, reboot ? If no go then,
U could try to use the button combo to reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset then reboot. Try that before Odin One Click.

Unfortunately, yes. I did all those things prior to flashing with Odin. It seems that the initial flash goes smoothly, but then when I reboot the phone - for whatever reason - it's stuck in an infinite boot loop. I'm really confused here. Maybe I should try going back to stock Eclair again?
dont think going back to froyo will help.
keep the sd card in the phone, reflash kk4, then flash corn kernel.
it may be that your ICS rom (cm 9) had the EU error and your system is now using your 16 GB card as the 'internal usb storage' and the original internal sd is no longer available.
from kk4 with corn kernel, you can leave the sd card in the phone and try flashing the stable cm10 or a cm10.1 nightly.
you will need to flash it twice because jelly bean changes file partition scheme,
then flash gapps.
cm10 has the smarts to recognize a phone that has the EU error and will swap the partitions to make it work with your external sd.
you will find threads in the Captivate development forum with links and instructions for cm10 and 10.1 including links to gapps.
if you got the EU error, this fix should give you about 13 gb of user usb storage, it will actually be using your external sd. no known way to recover your internal storage.

Hey thanks man. I'll give it a shot after work today. That's fine since I have a 16Gb External SD card. My only concern is that I still won't be able to use the camera since it tells me now I need to stop using USB storage to use the camera. But I'll try it out and let you know what happens. Thanks.

So I flashed KK4, then added the corn kernel - but now I'm stuck. Remember my sd card won't mount properly, so to flash anything I need to use odin... Can I flash CM10.1 using odin? I tried doing this using a 10.1CM nightly, but it failed and wouldn't proceed.
UPDATE: So I redid this process and had a lot more SUCCESS!
I was able to mount the SD card through Corn Kernel and transfer a stable CM10 release, then flash successfully.
After boot it launched the CWM6 interface where I factory reset and cleared cache.
I rebooted and the phone booted successfully! It show's I'm on Jelly Bean and have 1.7 Gb of internal memory and 13 Gb of SD Card memory!
Thanks so much! My internal storage DOES seem to be gone - forever. But as long as this continues to work I don't see that as an issue... 16 Gb is plenty!
camera still says I have no SD card - but I'm going to try and download a different camera application.
Glad to hear it worked out okay. There may be a setting in gallery app that could fix the camera, idk. Camera app in jb is part of gallery apps.

Hi, tdunlavey,
I was having an issue similar to yours, and I've flashed kk4 and Corn Kernel, and I can boot up the phone now (yay!). But I don't understand how to mount the SD card through Corn Kernel and transfer CM10. Can you tell me how you did that? I would really appreciate it.

Go in recovery, mount/storage, mount SD card.
Hi... I actually tried that, and then I ended up back in a bootloop and had to reflash. I think that I'm in a situation where the internal SD card is lost and the phone is using the external card to boot up. And I suspect that when I tried to mount the card in recovery, it tried to access the internal storage and couldn't. This is all a guess. I'm a total newb at this stuff.
Also, my PC can't access mass storage on my phone. I was trying to move the CM10 zipped file onto the phone, but I got the "insert disc in drive E" error (for both drives E and F). When I look in settings, it has "Unmount SD Card" highlighted, so I couldn't choose "mount SD card" to get the PC to recognize the drive. I tried unmounting and remounting, but once I unmounted in settings, it wouldn't mount the card in settings, so I had to restart the phone.
Also, wifi doesn't work. When I try to turn it on, it just says "error". I can't access the Market, and most apps won't work. The phone works, texting works, the 3G works (I can use the browser or maps app), but it seems nothing else wants to work.
I appreciate any other ideas you have!

Sounds like your SD card might be dead.
You might have to swap everything to your external SD to have them work (like market and other apps). Sadly the internal storage isn't easy to replace so you either have to get another phone, motherboard or try to use it with the external SD.
replace external sd card with internal sd card
Hi friends
I will worke good news for the peoples who r using cyanogen mod and want to replace external sdcard with internal.
I was also on that situation before few hours. I solved this by my own.
It is very simple and no need to install any extra app. Just enter these following comands on terminal which is built-in on cyanogen mod.
1 . open the terminal
2 . su
3 . mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard /external_sd/external_sd
4 . mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd /sdcard
5 . mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd/external_sd /external_sd
Then close the terminal and chek ur storage or sd card options.
It will work 100% on each Android device running any cyanogen mod.
I have samsung galaxy w gt i 8150 with cyanogen mod10.1 alpha 6 jelly bean 4.2.2
Im sure it will work on you're device too. Don't worry just open terminal and enter these commands and see the magic.
Dont forget spaces u can see on commands.
Thank you.
