[Q] i think i killed my phone...

hi,
I hope somebody can help me here.
I think I did something really stupid (im new to this). I formatted my sd card within the phone settings and now it won't load anymore. I thought all the system files were in a partition and wouldn't get erased
When I turn it on, all i get is the samsung galaxy s screen for about 10-15 seconds them the screen goes black and the and then the samsung screen comes up again. This is all it does in a loop.
I can't get it on recovery or download mode either. The phone is probably wiped clean...
Is there somethng i can do????
I really hope smebody can give some advice.
Thanks

try this first

then you can use ODIN to load any firmware version and you are back and running
which model of the phone do you have?

That shouldn't be possible. SD card format in settings do not affect the system partition.
Did you have any lagfix installed?
And it's really strange that Download Mode stopped working.
It might be possible that something got fried.

Thanks guys.
I have the GT-I9000M. I'll try the test jig and see what happens. I'll let you know.
THanks again!

I found the solution! I just had to heat up the phone with a blow dryer, as suggested in other posts, and then i was able to bring the phone back to download mode.
Thanks!

accidentally formated internal sd

hey folks, running miui. msg came up to format sd card. didn't know it wasn't my external but my internal partition. some of my apps aren't working. so i'm going to re install miui after a factory reset. would this wipe have affected anything with android it self? would I need to run odin, flash stock then miui?

No it shouldn't affect anything other than whatever data/files you had on the internal sd card (music, videos, etc.) If you factory reset and reinstall MIUI you should be fine.

Hope u kept a copy of ur TiBu folder on ur PC and also hope next time u'll post in the correct thread

Make or buy a jig

anyone know a place in the toronto area that has them?
so the jig will get me in download mode.
would i then run odin, download rogers stock 2.1 rom and flash that?

Well have you tried getting into the download mode ,through the usb insert?
And if you want the JIG contact adam outler here on XDA he will help you out and at a cheaper price....

[Q] Need fast help

hello, i was rooting my galaxy s i9000. and something is wrong here. evrything was okey finished, but phone allways rebooting when it shows programs starting read sd card and then it reboot and do same again.

If you are using an External SD, power the phone off (or do a battery pull it necessary) and take the external sd out. Then try powering the phone back up.
I've had the exact same phone symptoms from an external sd card dying on me before...

Can't use my phone as mass storage.

Before I can easily do this but after flashing Huexx mod there's no way I can make it work. I'm running nova8 anyone can help?

Try to reinstall drivers in your computer/laptop ..

Well I already tried it.my phone was just charging, and it can't be detected by my pc sad.

i also had this problem.. all i did was reinstall drivers then once i plugged my phone to my PC there's a notice on my PC that it was installing and detecting device so i waited for it to finish but it was unsuccessful.. i tried doing it again until i got a message that it was successful and i think it worked at my 3rd or fourth try though..

Try with other USB ports.

i also had this problem. i just formatted my phone. it helped
but before you do that, try to see if the phone is on debug mode

I have this same problem, already booted as factory, installed like 3 times the PC Suit IV and the USB drive, and i can't change it to massive stora mode nor sinc with my pc.. dont know what to do...
Any help would be great
Thanks..

Last week I flashed Nova#07 with CM7#20 Nightly on my GFs LG P970... after a couple of days she asks me why some of her apps have disappeared (namely all the ones migrated to the SD card) I do a check and notice that the SD card isn't mounted for some reason, so I go ahead and try to mount it but it won't recognise anything in the slot. So I took the card out and tried to hook it up to the PC and still no dice - not even the PC recognises it... both the stock and custom ROM backups were on that card too. >_< 1x fried 16gb card.
I **** my pants and decide to try and mount another card just so that I can perform a backup and transfer it to the PC ASAP... but it doesn't want to mount any cards (just keeps repeating "safe to remove card" whenever I try), even from within ClockworkMod recovery mode - it just says "Error mounting SD card!").
I'm a bit stuck now, I can't flash anything in this state and we're stuck with on-board storage that can only be written to from within the phone... and I don't feel safe wiping/factory resetting anything in case the SD reader is physically dead. It seems to me like the reader died taking the 16gb card with it and now cannot accept anything else.

Do you have a standard SD card reader you can try your card on? Or another phone? Make sure the card is functioning. If you have another SD card try that in the phone.
Let's see if we all suffer from the same problem.

Turn phone off.
Remove battery.
Put battery back.
Turn phone on.
After it booted completely, plug it to USB again.

[Q] DEAD Internal SD card? PLEASE HELP FRIENDS!!!

hey friends, I really need your help... I have galaxy s gt-i9000. I had installed RemICS-UX rom (ICS 4.0.4) there was no problem.. but suddenly one day when I connected my phone to PC, nothing happened! I mean no notification, no prompt like usually, the phone thought that I have connected it to a charger! it started charging . I removed and reinserted, again charging! I thought it was from problem and I was bored with that rom . so I installed darkyrom ics v11.0 but still same problem.
I did some tests. I tried connecting phone with different usb port, different cable, different computer but still no luck so I am 100% sure that there is no problem with my PC nor with my USB poet or drivers or my cable.. the problem is with me phone.
i did research and found link on Google on xda about SD card dead.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1193010
So do you think my internal ad card I'd dead?
and yes By the way I can access my internal sd card through my phone.. it just doesn't connect with anyone's PC. so is my internal SD card dead? if yes please tell me how to fix it? I read that post he uses an external SD card also.. but I don't have any external SD card and I don't use any. so I request you please tell me steps without having ext. SD card... and please reply ASAP...

next time(al time) when you install new rom:wipe cache,davilk cache,wipe data from recovery after go install-from sd the rom.make this and reflash the rom.

Does RemICS have FastCharge? If yes, then disable and try again. Another option would be to try to install another kernel.
Also try another cable, maybe it's broken.

hey friends thanks for your help... but actually I don't know what happened and my phone got connected ... there was no problem with my cable and nor with fast charge (It was turned off already)... it just happened suddenly... I removed the battery and again put it in.. IT WORKED!!!!
