Hi everyone,
I bought this phone recently and first thing I did was put in an microSD but when I powered it on it would display the logo(the x), the screen would go black and the phone would display the logo again. It would loop in this manner indefinitely but everything would be fine when I removed the sd card.
When the phone was running I found out that the phone was running a custom ROM, so I don't know if this could be part of the reason why I have this problem. First thing I thought to do was restore the phone to its official ROM and factory settings but as this is the first time doing these things(flashing etc) I ran into problems.
So basically my question is: is my problem unique(hope not) and how can I fix this?
Hope someone can provide some help, thank-you
kind regards

Have you formatted the SD card yet? Try to format the card to Fat32 and see if it recognizes the card.
yes I have tried that but still no luck
thanks

so as my sig says, i have a rooted mt3g 32b, and up to yesterday it was workign perfectly. i was wiping the happyrom .95b to install a themed superE rom. i had phone plugged into usb, had full battery, looked as if it flashed fine.. nothing hung up, none of the normal warning signs. I tried to reboot, and suddenly, it started a SINGLE BOOTLOOP and then booted into the rom. when it loded up, i found the SD card slot wouldnt recognize, and the sim card wasnt recognized either. Spent about an hour trying to do any unix commands enatefox could think of to fix it. ended up having to use part of /data as a symbolically linked "sd card" after i rebooted, was able to use the phone as in the sim card slot worked again, although the SD slot was no more... has anyone had this happen or can anyone think of a fix? if so, gtalk me or email me or pm me.. whatever

thanks,

p.s.
Card is not fried, im using it in my new mt3gs and shes working perfectly
I hate to say it but it sounds like a hardware failure to me... With any software bug... a complete wipe followed by stable rom fixes everything.
Good luck.
dammit>.< i need a fix of some sort.. gotta be a fix somewhere
it seems its only a half ass problem... i downloaded the sapphimg.nbh to the sd card through my mt slide, transferred cards to the mytouch, went into hboot, it loaded up the image, and unrooted me fine... so the issue seems almost like firmware? i could be wrong, but i think the firmware is half assing the sd card slot

Nobody's going to email you. You ask here, you'll be answered here. If you don't like that, your problem.

No... really? You thought the card might be fried?
Lets see... you install a new haxored system image, and stuff doesn't work. What conclusion can you come up with from this? That whatever you did broke the phone! You either screwed up the install, or the system image you chose to install is a piece of garbage that doesn't work!

well, theres a good chance its a bad sim card. i see that fairly often. the other thing is it could also be a bad sd card. try a different sim card, and a different sd card if you can. did you try factory resetting it? also... where did you get it and why are you sure its not rooted?
Get a new sim card for your carrier

Hello Community,
I'm new here and hope you can help me even if it is only a little bit
So I have a Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with stock rom 2.3.6, root rights and cwm flashed.
Before I did this I had some problems with my phone, e.g. if I hit (gently) the back side the phone turns off =/
My new at the moment real problem is that I cannot turn my phone on if I only use the battery. (onlly the Samsung logo appears for a short time)
I can only boot it if the phone is pluged into my computer. When it runs and the display turns off, the phone will go off also. (not instantly but atfter 2-5 minutes)
Does anyone knows something about such a problem?
Thanks for your help.

Seems to me like a hardware problem.I guess battery is going to die soon.Try with another battery.

I can exclude the battery. I have tested two of them and I can be sure that both are well because they work in another Galaxy S I9000 without problem.
To flash a custom rom with plugged phone into computer will be tested tomorrow.

Good luck:good:But I would suggest to flash stock gb rom first just to make sure its not a software problem.
I remember @xsenman has mentioned a solution for this problem about two months ago..... I am sure he will write you soon here.
I had the same problem with my phone, it would reboot if i tapped the back of it, i found out it was a dodgy app i installed so i uninstalled a couple of apps i recently installed and it solve the problem.
So know I have tryed to flash with connected phone. I do not know whether it works because the phone won't boot the system, only recovery and bootloader.
In cause of this I have reflashed with Odin again. Now I get at reboot this screen:

sry but i cannot post direct links =/
I understand what there is written but I don't know why, the only sdcard is my internal there is no external connected.
So there is a new problem and I would be glad about new ideas =\
(I tryed: reboot, wipes and reboot, wipes and new flashing (same problem))
@tetakpatak if my system boots again I would search for his post thank you
sometime ago my sdcard kept being unexspectly removed, a friend of mine had a theory that it might be a software problem.
So he tried to install cyanogenmode on it coming from whatever system I had before.
Suddenly the SDcard worked, and I could get the new OS on.
now on cyanogenmode it can't decide whether it wants to work or not, it seems to stop working whenever i'm doing something with video.
The SDcard always comes to work again when my phone completely runs out of power, but then after sometime it stops.
my friends theory is now that the sdcard might be bricked, how do I unbrick?
i tried formatting the sdcard and this is the rom that i'm using
[ROM][CM10][4.1.2]CyanVivo X Reborn![Buttery Smooth][15/07/2013][3.0.86]

Your sdcard is not bricked. Just take off the back cover, take the sd card out. Blow gently on sd card and slot and then put sd card back in. Normally the problem goes away.

It doens't, also that's like one of the first things i tried, way before I even thought about getting a new OS.

SD card problem
Did you fix your phone or not.
After I made factory reset on my phone I faced with same problem. There were nothing wrong with phone before factory reset. !! strange
hi, i have a big problem. i rooted my phone and put a custom cyanogen mod with locked bootloader. it was all good till i found out that my sd card won't mount but it works on other phone. nice s****y cyanogen mod. then all problems came up. i couldn't do nothing with that sd card, couldn't do backup so i went to flash it to stock, somehow i factory reseted it and i thought i have a stock rom and that's all good and that i won't have problems at all.
but suddenly, i didn't have gsm signal so i rebooted the phone. after reboot, it says that there's no sim card. so i downloaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...-sony-original-pure-stock-rom-12-1-1-t2859279
and tried that, but nothing better, problem is the same with sim card. that lights at the start of booting tell me that cyanogenmod or root is still here.. the normal light on booting is only 1 light in the middle of light bar (red i think) and i still have blue red and green that flicker when the phone is booting. so please, if there's anybody who's willing to explain it to me, step by step, what to do, what to download.
i tried with flashtool, i don't get it, so please don't give me the link for that which already exists 'cause i don't understand s***, because of bad explanation for noobs.
just want to get it back to stock/normal again and get the hell out of this forum and stuff. thanks
Pull sim card and insert again, about the rom, the only way is through flashtool
