NEED HELP
I know that many people had the same issue with the galaxy note and ICS.
I did a fullwipe with ICS installed last night and as every body knows , the phone won't boot
I downloaded more that 20 custom & stock ROMS. Tried all kernels but still nothing.
It started by recovery problems
I could not mount /data
No i can mount data but my phone can not see the SDCARD , even the internal card is not visibile.
I can not try to code with adb because my phone is not rooted anymore and i can not root through CWM because my phone doesn nor recognize the SD card
Is there any alternative way to odin or something to flash the roms ?
Like all other friends who had the same problem with odin , it hangs on *.img data.
HELP

Hello,
firstly, i am very sory for posting this two times as i already posted this in this thread:

Please do not flame me.. i'm only doing this because i'm getting desparate, and maybe it could, to some extent, help some of you to at least make your phone usable as a dumbphone.
I have a problem with my internal SD.. it's very complicated how it came to all this so i'm going to give you a short version..
I've had the phone for over a month now using darkys roms (with voodoo enabled) and then my cat peed on the phone which resulted in me opening it up and cleaning it with alcohol as it went into a restart loop. the phone then booted into recovery but i couldn't mount the sd card.. i then used the JPU 2.2.1 firmware and instaled it with odin. and it worked.. i could access everithyng normaly, but then:
I tryed to do a wipe version of darkys 8.0 and the phone froze when installing.. afterwards i tried to install a stock 2.2.1 JPU firmware and it kept restarting, then i tried the 2.1 again and after the boot animation it booted into a black screen with buttons working (LED).. after some research i installed 2.2.1 again and used speedMod 256 Hz with odin.. now it boots normaly to the system but the internal sd can't be mounted any way so i cant install any apps or use the camera, etc.. it's strange, cause i can't even mount the external SD not in the system and not in recovery (clockwork or e3) (it seems the ext SD is recognised only as a subfolder of the internal SD.. it sucks) so i can't format it.. i still have some hope because the phone boots every time i flash speedmod over 2.2.1 firmware and works as "normal", even if i restart (except some settings not being saved like my google account info..
I guess i hope there is some way to make the phone recognize the external SD card as it's default with some custom kernel, that is why i posted in this thread..
My phone is Europe I9000 non carrier version..
If someone can help me i will be extreemely grateful!
Thanks

My problem is really complicated. Things first: My phone didn't work for the last 3 months properly. I mean it booted and everything worked, but I could only update 3-6 apps and then I had a kind of lock (apps downloading, but no more installing). The solution for that was to go to CWM recovery and to clean cache, fix permissions and reboot. Now I could update the next apps until it locked again. Today I was really upset with that and tried some different things. I can go to download mode and CWM recovery (2.5.1.3) is still there but phone doesn't boot anymore. I can flash other firmwares with heimdall (using only linux) without errors, but the phone doesn't boot (stuck before the big S should come). If I go on CWM mount and storage I can't mount /system and /data, think thats my biggest problem right now. Is there any possibility to delete the whole SD card? I mean everything? Already tried flashing XWJS5 with repartition ticked, but it doesn't change anything. Tried now also to flash an old 2.1 firmware, no difference. Any idea how I can fix that problem (adb recognize the device)? Can't go to samsung centre because CWM is the recovery and they will know I rooted the phone...
Comprehension: Can flash other firmware with heimdall without errors, but the phone won't boot further then Galaxy S GT-I9000. The big S logo doesn't appear. In recovery can't mount /system and /sdcard
I tried already so many things, so I'm very happy for any advice!
Try flashing an older stock rom like jpy or js3 or your official rom, with repartition. As far as i know js5 rom is not a full package as jpy or js3 which also have the bootloaders. Those roms should also restore default recovery.

Reflash FULL firmware
*EDIT- rechecked the error code*
I'm pretty sure "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0" error = Bad SD Card
try to flash it back to stock so you get the I9000M splash and bring it back for service.
you can try, just make sure it's stock firmware:
flash a full firmware (pda/csc/phone/pit w/repartion), it might recognize the drive after re-boot.
good luck
flashed to JS3. updating now. Gonna see if it works again or if the installation bug is still there... Thanks for helping lilraindon
EDIT: Back on darky again. Problem is that my error still exist. Sometimes you can't update or install any new apps, needs to go to recovery and to wipe cache and fix permissions... Pretty annoying. Bought the phone in Germany and I'm now in Vienna Austria for studies. Do I need the warranty and bill (both in germany) or will they take it to repair without any of them? Can I sell this phone on ebay and buy from the money a Nexus S2?........ last one just kidding, just pretty annoyed my sd card is somehow broken. Any possibility (like an sgs tools script) to wipe cache, fix permissions and mount /data with phone on? With that I could live...
Hello everyone
So I have fully rooted phone which I've been using for a long time with CM10.1, I just wanted to flash cwm from 6.0.3.1 to same version with cwm touch support but I couldn't because of many errors in ADB and other programs like All in one tool kit and others. So again, I got an error that I couldn't flash a new cwm, I don't know why but I thought of unlocking boot loader again.... that was really stupid, why I had to do that I don't know I thought the errors would go away... but now I have some crappy old lg logo which I had a year ago like I just bought a phone, now I cant get past or even see CM boot logo, just the red old lg logo. So I guess that's what is called boot loop? Its not first time I got this problem and fixed it somehow, but now I don't know what to do because I cant even get into cwm, the only way to get in there is to flash cwm again and if I power off my phone the combinations of cwm doesn't work, so that's why I need to flash again so that it could launch cwm automatically. Did I messed up my boot partitions or something ?
Things I have:
6.0.1.5 cwm from nv flasher
CM10.1 a new nightly in my phones internal memory (I install them like 2 times a week through cwm without problems) which I thought could fix everything by installing a rom with not messed up system files (I've put it into phone before this problem occurred)
but I cant install any zip from sdcard like I did every time before because it sais E:Cant mount /sdcard/ (WHAT???)
I don't have any backups -_-
internal and external memory which are both full and cant access in cwm by pressing mount usb storage, it doesn't work..... So it means I cant make a backup in cwm.
Things I want to do:
Get back to phones previous state. I think its possible because its not like I have erased the data, I just messed up boot partitions, yes ?
I also don't want to loose my data on sdcard/emmc or what ever its called. (on my phone both internal/external memories are called sdcard). Ofcourse if there is a way to somehow make a backup without cwm then Its okay if loose my data, then I can do a factory reset.
Maybe I cant install zip from sdcard because this cwm is bad? Will a newer version also say that I cant mount sdcard (I never had this problem in any cwm's that I have used).
I hope someone can suggest me something . If I wrote something not clear or haven't said some details, tell me I'll try to explain.
!EDIT: Ok I've managed to fix that lol.
Things that I've done:
used All in one kit option called "flash stock rom" (even if I have already a custom rom, not stock ) then installed older cwm, it was version 5 it had a good working "mount usb storage" so my pc recognized the phone and I placed new CM rom into my sdcard (external). So after I flashed the rom, installed cwm5, I fixed permissions just in case, then deleted cache partition and dalvik cache, then installed that CM rom, somehow it still had an old boot logo and was still stuck in boot loop, then again after I used All in one kit and flashed stock rom I saw my new lg logo (black and white, not the broken one with red lg circle) so I just normally booted up phone from cwm and I have everything back without any data loss.
Hello everybody,
I have a particular issue with my Note:
A few months ago I had a emmc brick because i tried to wipe on an ICS Stock Rom (can't remember which one)
Since this week I am trying to revice the device.
I used Philz latest Kernel to connect with adb and partitioned everything around 2200MB to 7200MB - I have checked my emmc and found out I have bad blocks beginning at 2159MB to 7111MB.
Formatting the partitions and simply flashing via Odin or CWM did not work out, sometimes the ROM didn't boot up at all (glowing samsung logo) or I got a boot loop.
Then I decided to flash with ODIN using a .PIT file, I used Option 3 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
Afterwords I was able to format /data /cache and so on - but when I try to flash a Stock ROM with this .PIT (XXLT4) it freezes either at bootup (configuring applications...) or during the unlock / usage process.
Another interesting fact: CM 10.1 (latest nightly) booted up succesfully but took somehow years to boot and could not find the internal sdcard...
Does anybody have an idea what is going on there? I found the bricked blocks, partitioned around them, but could not get a ROM to work.
Is my Note completely bricked?
So I rooted my daughters samsung SGH-T599N, and installed philz touch and was planning on putting a custom rom on the phone. unfortunately out of habit, I put the rom file, and gapps file on the external SD, booted to recovery.. wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install a new rom. Unfortunately this device will not access the external SD card through the recovery, and now the phone just gets stuck with the samsung logo when turned on (so i cant turn debugging on again).... I can't get odin, or any other program to read and connect properly.... and now I'm stuck... I have been searching online for several days now trying to find a solution, but have come up empty. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.. I was even thinking to use adb to transfer files over but have been unsuccessful as of yet ...
sorry to burst your bubble but this exhibit 4g section is for T679 version.

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.
I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again
