I have tried flashing various roms and have come to the conclusion that my phone is knackered. What do you think?
Symptoms:
(1) When I go into cwm to flash a zip the phone thinks the internal sd-card is the external sd and can't locate the sd card
(2) Sometimes the phone doesn't boot
(3) Sometimes when I boot the applications I have installed are lost
(4) Sometimes when I try to install an app off the market the phone thinks there isn't enough space
(5) If I flash CM9 it comes up with the Encryption error message
My Solutions that haven't worked:
(1) Flashing stock rom jvu/jvz/jw4 with s1_odin_20100512
(2) Flashing EZbase 4 and Darkyrom Resurrection
Does anyone know how to fix my phone? Is it possible to somehow restore my phone to an 'out of the box' state?
Thanks in advance
I started having problems with /sdcard, last week after flashing a CM10 nightly.
Flashed JVU as a test and everything is fine.
Now back to CM10, but now after I boot I go into "storage" and click "mount"
No idea what's going on but I'm functional gain.
When you reflashed did you tick re-partition

No offence but could it be that you flashed an i9000 firmware on your i9003? Your signature says you got an i9003 so I'm a bit confused now... I'm not saying you're stupid, I'm just thinking in all possible directions
Nah, i am using someone else's phone lol! Mine is an i9000!

If I turn the phone on about 20 times it boots. Now on android 4.1 and seems stable if I keep it on. Think my phone must just be getting worn out

Give us some detail as too how you go about trying to install it. Where you download it too....etc..
Sigh ... Again?!?
Search for the error you see. That's usually a good idea.
15th time this week I've answered this. Been fixed since january.

Go to mobiletechvideos.com there is a three part video on how to install a rom, what you are doing is completely wrong ... Before you do the steps in the video you're gonna have to do the fix I posted earlier.
Sorry for being a little rude earlier. I just assumed that was your issue cause that's all I've seen this week for some reason.
No problem
I'll look that up. Thanks

It's all in the videos, just make sure you mod the 3e recovery first or you will get a signing error and the install will fail.
Ok does it say how to mod 3e rec. I'm not sure how to do that

Hi my wife's galaxy s has started turning the screen on at random..and continuously sometimes. This as we know will start ruining the battery.I've had many issues with her ics. For some reason since installing a kernel. It messed it all up somehow the remains of the boot image or kernel etc is still onboard thankfully I still can boot her. Can't apply custom roms at all. I can send an official rom from the PC but that's it. I managed to get gb on. Its started randomly turning the screen on. Fairly certain its not the rom she's had it since last year
Any ideas? Is there anyway to totally strip the phone of virtually everything to the core and start against

If you think its a kernel issue you could run a kernel cleaner script then reflash, but my sgs did this when it got water damage almost exactly as your described

Thanks for the reply do you know where the kernel script is?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Do a nandroid backup. Then copy necessary files to SD card (rom, kernel, modem, whatever.)
Then format /system and do a factory reset. Then do a fresh install of your kernel and rom.
Then in cwm go to backup and restore, advanced restore, and restore her data!
Then your phone is fresh .

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166954 here you go read the guide and flash it , I seriously doubt the other suggestion will work as the nandroid backup restores it to exactly how it was before I mean like if your wifi was left on it will be on after you restore exact, so what ever bug is doing this will almost defiantly restore aswell

It will work we are just saving data like settings and apps.

It backs all the system apps up aswell and every single thing so if there is a bug it will restore that aswell... your better off just redownloading the Alps from play market after and using a sms backup app if you want a clean install

Staxx is dangerous. it crashes like crazy. Flash it but keep abyss kernel and other ROM in sd card handy just in case. Try both and share your experience. All the best.and do not restore back up in either.go ahead.

Absolutely nothing wrong. I just went looking for my movie folder on my sd card. Nothing other then this. staxx crashed suddenly. What ever brief movement I spent on staxx I enjoyed it but I couldn't dare try it again at least not until I find out what I did wrong. Have you tried to access files on sd card through ol file manger that comes with this wrong. In the recovery I tried 'report error' option and the error was some thing like PATH TO SD CARD. Any ways I am happy you are enjoying it. Hopefully I will try once my confidence in the ROM is back.

Crash in this case means my note suddenly slipped into boot animation screen of paranoid and hung there for a very long long time. I had to shut down the phone by removing battery after rebooting. .. again I was struck. ..then I rebooted to recovery installed staxx again but I never got passed the boot screen. This is what I meant when I said staxx crashed.

You should probably wipe everything and reflash and try a different rom. Try cm9 or cm10 as many, including I, have seen significant performance increases
Thnx for reply.I reflashed ROM and kernel(sticking w/gb ).seems to be
working.think I had a corrupted backup file when I restored.
