urgent help is needed - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.i m having a serious problem.i have updated my galaxy s to xxxjw4 and root it.it was working so nice untill i installed another update for lag fix MCR scripts.after that super user stoped working.i try to reset even wipe up cache.bt it is not working.now pc.s are not recognizing set.error unknown device.when i try to install cm9 or wipe cache.it gave these errors
E:format volume:rfs format failed on/dev/block/st111,st110,nmcblokop2
E:unknown volume for path data,cache,log
E:cant mount/cache/recovery/comand
clockwork mod recovery version is 3.0.0.5
plz help me.what i do?waiting for ur reply

This worked for me
This happened to me recently.
The way out was as follows (and gives ICS on top):
1) boot in download mode
2) use Odin and flash Semaphore kernel
3) reboot in recovery mode
4) wipe cache, dalvik cache
5) install CM9 latest nightly build
If you want to stay with Gingerbread, you may want to try the same with CF-root as a kernel and xxxjw4.

This would be due to your system being converted to EXT 4 format when you tried doing lag fix, the only way is to undo lag fix and back to rfs, for your internal SD card to be recognized again
you can try formating it using this, if possible http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26496507&postcount=4439
as for you other connection problem, the options are http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27205737&postcount=4571

yes failing to UNDO lag Fix, before flashing anything else can cause serious problems , with internal SD card
But your current problem is unknown USB connection, it takes patience and elimination of likely cause to resolve it.
1) you have to make sure your USB cable is good, your USB slot is good, your PC drivers are good
to do this , you may need to borrow your friends SAMSUNG USB cabe and his PC, to eliminate, those causes
or IF you have spare samsung USB cable and a different PC/laptop, you should try them

i done it
xsenman bro.i done everything u described bt all in vein.used pc.s laptop.s cable.drivers.before trying to wipe up cache.cable was working fine.i dont think so there is any hardware issue with galaxy.i appreciated the effort u r making for me.find something else man.thanks

[SOLVED]Yet another"bricked thread"...

This is a little embarrassing, but i have almost bricked my phone....
Before you tell me to search,please read.
I was trying to change mountpoints for my external sd / internal sd in cm7.
i rebooted it and got stuck in boot screen, i pulled my battery and wiped in Recovery.
Now the fun part, it wont even try to load Android...
I already tried install CM7 again, but i only gets E:Can't mount /cache etc, etc
No problem, i just use LG firmware upgrade mode... (The ugly yellow logo with Upgrading S/W Please wait) Clockwork loads..
Well, not so fun, but i need to use baseband flash instead. NOTHING happens!
(My PC cant find it)
Oh i forgot to mention, adb doesnt work either.
What to do?
Edit: Can i borrow someones nandroid backup?
Of course i didnt make any "Theese things never goes wrong..."

I read what u've typed.
Search NvFlash/Smartflash in this form.
Those should work unless hardware has broken.
U need to install Nvflash/smartflash driver first to let ur phone detectable.
Gd luck!

[Q] Big problems with my Galaxy....Help needed!!

Since yesterday my Galaxy S got stuck. It doesnt start anymore.
What happened?
I flashed my rom to the newest ICS. Everything went well and I used it a couple of days. Yesterdaymorning I did wiped the battery stats and cleared the Davik cache. I rebooted and it got stuck in the bootscreen.
I tried to got in recoverymodus but that was not possible. Bootscreen was all I saw.
Then I tried the downloadme. That is working BUT odin did not see my phone and KIES did also not recognize it. I have the right drivers. When my phone was working it was also not recognized because I am afraid the USB port is not good anymore.
Does anyone have tips?

can you go to recovery?
unfortunately not.
if i do the 3button trick the sreens stays on the bootscreen.
Change your drivers to the Nexus drivers in OP of TH ICS thread and try a different USB port.
Once in odin flash the initial CM7 kernel without reboot then go into recovery and reflash CM9.
installed nexusdrivers.
still nothing happens.
any other suggestions?
thx for the help!!!
Different USB port?
tried all 4 and another laptop
also used different cables.
almost start crying
-prereq-
install samsung drivers for your device and windows install type (x32/x64). It's quite important that you install 64 bit drivers on a 64 bit box and not 32, because they are ****ty and work 7/10 times used.
1. be sure to use the same port.
2. be sure to use ONLY the original cable that came with your phone
3. Make sure your phone is able to enter download mode. (Vol down+Home+Power)
if it does, it should install your drivers without issue about then.
4. If you can't use odin to restore your pda/csc/modem, then use heimdall. If that fails, you need to commandprompt heimdall into flashing with 512.pit + required files (refer for help to the heimdall readme included in their install) file after unpacking pda,modem,csc into the heimdall commandline exe.
If 4 does not work you need to unbrick it via 1clickbrick. It's a jar file you donwnload, dblclick and use.
thx for trying to help me. but I am afraid my USB port (mini) on my galaxy is not working. Tried 4 computers, several drivers but stil no connection possible.
Any other suggestions?

Had the same problem on Windows machines - for some reason two of my Windows powered computers stopped recognizing my phone. Tried different drivers for no effect, so I gave up and tried it on linux and successfully flashed new kernel using heimdall.
I don't know if this is a legitimate solution because it's like going around the problem instead of solving it, but if everything else fails, try different operating systems.
try charging it..does it charge?
if it doesnt then go in a service and ask them to take a look at it.they will do that for a pack of cigarettes in their extra time.if its fixable and cheap(dont think of replacing the entire motherboard...sell this one for parts and buy another one, or find one with broken display and take em both to a service and tell them to replace the screen from your phone to the other)

is thier nobody how can't help me?
well happened to me and i used another pc....
use a card reader for data transfer...
else try reinstalling usb driver....or a factory reset to phone(backup ur data by titanium pro
CWM -> Mounts -> Mount SD Card
if that doesn't work then reinstall your drivers, try installing Kies, it has every driver that is needed.
i agree with others it my be drivers!
Re-install drivers (re-install kies)
Try again
Try other computer same happened to me!
in my gf laptop my ace is not recognized or is but only sometimes, and in mine is always!
Try also different cable!
Good Luck
try to type in dialer *#1234#
you must have 3 lines
pda, phone and csc if csc is missing so kies wont recognize your phone and you have to put any csc files from any rom to your system folder and it will work =)
maybe there is a problem with ur ace hardware or pc drivers because i was like that too,but i use a little tilt and now it works for me

strange.....when i install the rom, my phone doesn't load....just the screen android comes up and stays that way. i waited ten minutes and nothing happend.so i installed back a newer clockworksmod, wipe cach ect........ and put back cm9_galaxyics-ace-beta3 on.
there someting very wrong with my phone i think. by the way my phone is still in root mode, must i unrooted?
I just wanna share my experience. Once i had this type of problem but when i removed my external hard disk it worked again. If u have connected any this type hardware like printer or something disconnect that.

Yeah I had the same prob once, all the juice was going to other devices and wasn't letting the phone be detected, so +1 for that idea.
thats the problem..when i plug my phone in usb nothing happend but charging. even ubs tethering can i not select on the phone and when i put the phone in download mod he doen't react.
have you tried to fiddle with the USB debugging? I had a similar problem once. I kept on plugging it in and changing the USB debugging in the settings until it worked. Annoying but helped.

[Q] Recovery crash

Hi guys I need some help
I tried to update my Galaxy tab P-1000 from (GB)2.3.3 to aokp galaxytab build25 /rom build on cm9/ unfortunately rom stock on bootscreen.

PC doesn't recognize my tab either on ODIN or even normally, I reinstalled Kies, and nothing happened......
So now I'm stock on bootscreen ie on a brocken recovery mode
