[Q] external_sd not mounted properly: neverendig story on MIUI ROMs - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I read many posts about external_sd not detected properly on MIUI Roms..
Recently someone advised me to put GINGERBREAD bootloader first in order to have external_sd recognized correctly:
http://www.galnetmiui.co.uk/content/...l-not-detected
What I did tried so far:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1089989
Download the right version from section above
Reboot your phone into Download mode
Connect your phone to computer
Run EZOdin
Select EZboot-Froyo-1.0.tar.md5 or EZboot-GingerBread-1.0.tar.md5 as a PDA file in EZOdin
Check the "Phone Bootloader Update" checkbox
Click Start
Wait until phone reboots and make it reboot into Recovery
Flash a custom CWM ROM
2. Then flashed Galnet 2.3.2b stable
but right after that I ended up in a bootloop. Only when I remove memory card, it finishes installation.. But with the same problem...
Please can you advise me with step-by-step instructions how to do that correctly ? (flashing correct GB bootloader and then MIUI rom...)
Thanks a lot!

I installed miui and had this problem. I wiped cache dalvick cache and did a factory reset and reinstalled miui and now it works fine.

Really ? MIUI without GB bootloader doesn't support external_sd mounting. It is well described in many articles online. Which is exactly my case.
Can you please reply to me with step-by-step instructions what you did ?
Don't forget to mention FROM which ROM version did you do the upgrade and TO which version alsol...
thanks!

[Q] CM7 15-11-2011 Version on S5570 Help

Hi peeps. I just need a little help if you guys can help me here. I recently just bought a Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 with stock Froyo 2.2.1. I already updated to the latest Gingerbread 2.3.4 and I wanted to install a custom ROM using CM7.
1) I already rooted the phone.
2) Checked "Unknown Source"
3) Installed Clock Work Mod
4) Copied the latest CM7 (update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-15112011) to root of SD card.
5) Booted to recovery mode and followed the following steps:
A) Wipe data and cache from the options
B) Select the option ‘install zip from sdcard’ then select ‘choose zip from sdcard’
C) Selected the zip "update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed-15112011"
D) Waited for installation to finish. After completion I wiped data & cache again.
Now here is my problem:
I followed all the steps over and over from yagyas way and other forums and even tried to clear only cache after installation but still my when my phone boots I am stuck on a screen with only "ANDROID" shown.
Could it be the latest CM7 that I am using that is not compatible with my unit? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help. I really want CM7 and any help here is greatly appreciated.
If you can help, and have the patience, please give me specific details on installing CM7 on my S5570. Thanks for all the help here.
By the way, my version of 2.3.4 Gingerbread is S5570DXKPD_S5570OLBKPD (Asia) and I was wondering if could this be 1 of the problems? Because in 1 of the forums I saw "FIRMWARE S5570XXKPI OR XXKPL OR XXKPK !!!!!! THIS IS FOR CWM USERS ONLY!!!!"
try to wipe dalvik cache too before falsh.
there a re new version of CM7, cm 7.1 17112011 and 7.2, you could try this version too!
This is all I can say....assuming u really are stuck there or boot looping.
Wipe data and cache before flashing and not after...though this should not be a prob.
Doing what I told works,
Flash cm7.x once again.. I'm got this problem from emanon to cm7.2, then i did reflash cm7.2 again...and now...cm7.2 on my phone and ....waiting RC.2 .... B-)

Stuck at "touch the android to begin"

This concerns my galaxy note n7000. I had a rooted checkrom v4 working on my note. I tried to install criskelorom v2 and got bootloops. I then tried to go back to stock via odin and flashed stock N7000 KL3 ROM which i had earlier used, I had to go to stock because after bootloop even recovery was not working. now after flashing stock i am getting a strange problem of the phone getting stuck at the welcome to gt-n7000 screen . "touch the android to begin" . nothing is happening after touching the android on the screen although i can change the language etc and even the pull down notification is also working but the phone is stuck at the initial stage. I have a nandroid backup of my initial checkrom in my internal sd card but cannot restore it before installing a rom with root and cwm. Kindly help . Thanks.
I'm having the exact problem. I'm hoping we can create a soft brick sticky thread. I walked away from my phone last night because I was getting frustrated.
My attempts to flash stock ROM via Odin resulted in the "not responding" message in windows. I can get to both CWM and download mode, however any ROM flashed via CWM results in the behavior described by the OP. fortunately I have access to another Samsung phone, so I can double check driver installation (although it worked for flashing previously).
I'm continuing a search through the forums to find some alternate methods for unbricking. Hope someone has an idea.
Thanks!
It seems that the stock roms i was trying to flash were nonwipe ones so i flashed xxla3 which is a wipe rom and was able to boot . I then flashed the earlier kl3 rom over this rom because kl3 is rootable. I then rooted and installed cwm booted into recovery and restored my earlier nandroid backup. I think the situation arises because the nonwipe rom was unable to clear the cache , user data etc
Thank you for the information. I had exactly the same problem. What did you use to root KL3 ?
Just wipe both cash and user data, and reboot.
reboot to recovery mode -> mount and storage -> format system, format cache, format data.
and do a factory reset and wipe cache.
problem should be solved cause that's what i did

problems i have with upgrade. who can say what's wrong?

hi all, i have an insteresting problem while upgrading from GB 2.3.6 to ICS.
i tried all the versions of kernels and ROM's here and was unable to find a solution.
1. when i am on GB i go into CWM, do all the possible wipes
2. i install from SD the new ICS version
3. after the installation i do all the wipes again
4. then i reset the device.
each time, the device is showing me the startup animation and then i get a screen saying that the encryption was unsuccessful.
nothing helped from there, i did wipe to factory default again - did not help, i re-flashed again - nothing helped.
i am stuck on GB without being able to use the good ROM's we have in this forum.
please help if you can.
thanks in advanced.
Did u try slim ICS rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1488096
Boot into recovery(CWM)
Do factory reset
Wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
Flash the base file
Flash the essentials file
wipe dalvik cache
reboot
no, did not work.
after i finished all the steps the device started with the boot animation and again - encryption unsuccessful .
BTW, an interesting issue, after the encryption unsuccessful i got the device back into recovery mode and when i tried to load another zip from the sdcard i got an error in the device saying that my sdcard cannot be found.
any solution to that?
Did you check this thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
i have done this a long time ago.
and got to step 9, which afterwards i was supposed to have the ICS working but still i got the "encryption unsuccessful " error.
i was actually looking also for ICS files to use via Odin (maybe that will solve the problem) but did not found any.
Try asking in the same thread abouth the encryption error

Help !!! Booting loop problem can't fix ..

I had a working stock firmware until I decided to install this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793511
First it worked after few application installation and restart, I had booting loop problems, the Samsung Animation at start up then the Samsung Text and stuck in it for ever ..
I used Odin to flash to stock firmware DDKQ7_annson08.tar.md5, previously it worked. I did factory reset and wipe cache, but still the same problem,
I tried flashing for three times but no luck. I did the factory reset and wipe cache both before the flashing and after the flashing but no luck.
Please give me some ideas to fix it.
Whenever I quit the default stock firmware recovery it says Can't mount data partition
E: failed to mount /data invalid argument something like this.
Help
Have you installed it through ClockWorkMod recovery?
The steps needed to follow precisely is:
- Install Stock GB Firmware through Odin (You'll get it from Sammobile)
(It would be helpful if you specified the link where you installed the stock firmware)
- Install CWM recovery through Odin
- Boot into recovery and wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Install Zip from SD card
- Again wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats
- Reboot
EDIT: I guess you installed/updated to GB from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551586
If you updated from Froyo to GB with that link, it won't work because the bootloaders are removed from them. In order for Gingerbread/ICS/JB to work you need to have GB bootloader. So search in Sammobile and install stock firmware from there.
download stock fw from yagyagaire.blogspot.com

Hello camerg,
There can be many indication of the problem that you are facing... It looks like you are from India, so I suggest you to flash this latest official Indian firmware using Odin. Full instructions are at : http://yagyagaire.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-upgrade-samsung-galaxy-pop-to.html
After flashing the rom, wait till Odin says PASS and then go to recovery and do a data and cache wipe and reboot your handset. Your galaxy mini should boot fine.
If your handset doesn't boot still then, install CWM using Odin and then flash any custom rom using clockwork mod recovery. Now after flashing the rom wait for few minutes and your handset should boot fine.
Good Luck and Happy flashing!
Hey man, how are you doin'?
were you able to flash it using odin and followed all of the steps these guys informing you and the links given to you.
which one, if you are stuck on the Samsung logo and it doesnt wanna go all the way through, you either go and visit the service center or if you know a repair shop, go there and your phone needs JTAGGING. if your phone is stuck on the SAMSUNG logo.
if you can access the stock recovery mode, install the latest CWM, go to the mounts and storage > select format data, cache, system, and SD-ext. this similarly happened to me. i selected the wipe data/factory reset option but it didnt resolve the problem and it is saying something like E: error cant mount yada yada yada.... i wiped them one by one and worked.
your phone wont be needing JTAGGING if you can access the recovery mode of it. it means that your phone's system (Hardware) has no damaged in it, it is your phone's software. do these steps in order for the phone to wipe everything by doing it one by one
give us a reply if this worked.
Hi
Go and flash a stock 2.3.6 ROM from Samfrimware.com using odin after you get pass sign from odin if you get boot loop clear data an cache from recovery and reboot if you get boot loop flash the file that is same to your ROM with Odin from here like if you downloaded gt-s5570 jpkt2 then the jpkt2 PDA file
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1398797
And partion your SD card to ext4 to be your new data partion and the secondary partion that you must fat if you have a 2gb SD or smaller and if you have 4gb SD or larger select fat32 and the two partions must be primary then pot your SD in the phone and reboot this will make the phone mount the ext4 partion as your phones data partion so if there are a problem with the phones data partion it will make the work again

[Q] No OS installed

I had installed CM10 on my optimus 2x but I had a problem with the rom so I tried to flash another rom.
By mistake I wiped data, davlik-cache and everything else. So I don't have a backup. When I try to install another rom through TWRP is says that it failed and afterwards it says No OS installed, Are you sure you want to reboot?
Please I only want to return to the original stock rom and upgrade from that to ICS. I found the guide on how to update to ICS so all I'm asking for is how to get out of this No OS installed trouble.
I appreciate alll effort.

Hi Mate dont panic it´s easy to fix have u try any Nflash procedure yet ?
Try Stefans V28G via nflash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097
Direct link: http://d-h.st/PNj
Installation NVFlash version (under Windows): (internal SD will be wiped, /data partiton can be saved and restored with 2nd generation builds)
download the ROM, unpack it with WinRar, 7Zip or similar to any folder you want
take battery out of phone, press VOL + AND VOL - simulataneously, and while doing this plug the phone via USB to your PC
screen of phone remains black, this is normal, but you should hear a sound that you plugged the device. Probably you have to install APX drivers at this point if you are asked. They are included in the latest NVFlash builds. Tutorial on driver installation: http://www.modaco.com/topic/335416-n...-links-active/
assuming that you already installed APX drivers: run the "flash_windows.bat" file in the folder where you extracted the ROM
follow the instructions
That's already it Usually no complications to be feared. Enjoy!

You can connect phone to pc and copy a cm10, don't reboot phone, you must mount mass USB storage. Copy and flash: )

i suppose you're on the old bootloader? then just use AIO Toolkit ->> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Use Option 4, then you'll get the new bootloader and CWM installed. Afterwards just flash a ICS Rom or CM10(ICS BL) via CWM!

Since data is lost anyway, try running AIO toolkit to reflash the bootloader which also fixes recovery and partitions.
