Hello, I own a Samsung Captivate.
I had my phone plugged into USB and was transferring files. I tripped over and had it disconnect by force without safely disconnecting first.
Ever since them, phone had "unsuccessful enscripted error" or something. I did factory reset / wipe data (I dont mind doing hard reset/losing files). Still didnt work. It still kept saying Unsccessful Enscripted Error etc. So I lent it to my friend and he went on formatting all the folder in download mode, now I cant even boot to anything.
Currently, if I turn it on, it gets stuck at AT&T screen. If I plug usb onto phone, it has the little loading icon, but its frozen, its not circling around. I cant boot to download mode, I cant get Odin to detect.
Please help, I dont mind going through factory mode or w/e.
Thanks in advance!
Dan.
Download one click stock restore package(search for it on the forum). Put your phone in the download mode(there are many threads in this forum that describe how to try and force the download mode if it doesn't happen normally). Then run that one click restore package and it should work.

I found this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1266172
And downloaded the rooted .jar file.
It gave my bluescreen multiple times. Anyways, when I placed my phone into download mode and had the software running (bluescreen occurs), my phone went into this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Note that I cannot go to recovery mode
K, long story short, that method didnt work.
Apparently, that screen is still in Download Mode, so I just went to Odin and resetted. Worked.
I tried installing gingerbread or something on it, good news is, I can now go into recovery mode. Bad news is, it still doesnt work and when I factory reset, it gives me error while formatting \data\ folder and something \android.secure.
Still proceeding to do more things on it..
**Edit**
K so, basically I used KI2 Kernel and installed on my phone from that screwd up download mode screen. This got me to Recovery Mode.
When I try to start my phone, it just loops on the introduction animation. Battery icons are now showing and moving.
Again, Im thinking its because my friend formatted the /system /dbdata /cache /data /sdcard /sd-ext. Is there way to get those back now that my recovery mode is working? I think my phone is completely missing its OS or something.
When I do factory reset from recovery mode, it says
Formatting /data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /dbdata...
Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android_secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.

I think it might have something to do with partition format. Try flashing the UCKK4 with the bootloader version from the thread linked above. That way you'll have gingerbread bootloader if not loaded already. It'll repartition too. Once that is done, you'll have to flash corn kernel with cwm recovery. After that you'll be able to flash rom's of your choice. In future you need not flash gb bootloders.
The mode in the above pic is another form of download mode. I also had that a few times and I could use odin to flash away. I have observed that if the usb cable is already connected with the phone and if you try to put the phone into the download mode, you see this screen as opposed to normal download screen. If you disconnect the usb cable from the phone, you would see normal download mode screen.
If you still get errors pertaining to sdcard it might have become corrupt or gone bad. You could try to manually mount it via the recovery mode and format it.
Good luck!
I went on and downloaded this from the link you gave me:
"Odin One Clicks
I897UCKK4 Odin One Click - Stock, CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe"
Had it install successfully and got these:
Installation was done, phone rebooting and had this msg at first:
This is the screen message.
-- Copying media files...
E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard

Media files copy failed.

And then on its own, it went to this screen and basically froze there:
When I turned it off and restarted, after wiping cache and whatnot, it went back to boot screen and started looping again.
I had my SD card inserted onto phone when I did this, donno why its saying its missing or not prepared..
---Edit---
I tried installing other things:

And got this:
Whatever I install, its always the sdcard error..

Because there isn't a fix for it; only workarounds. It involves something physically going wrong with the storage on the phone. /data and /sdcard are long gone. It can only be fixed by random luck. Your only usable option would be to use CM9 on the external sd card (see dev section).

I tried installing Cyanogen Mod. My phone will not be recognized for me to access the driver (I can connect and it'll recognize in Odin, just I cant see the driver to access in My Computer). When they do show up, they show up as "hidden" and I cannot access em.
I tried using micro SD card, still no luck.
Im gonna try to see if I could install using Odin One click... I'll let you guys know, thanks for all the support for now.
--Edit--
Hmm, I just did quick search on Captivate's Dev section for cyanogen, couldnt find any post that's not relevant to installing by using the sd card (since I cant even place my cyanogen rar file into the card for it to be booted on phone).
am I missing something here? A thread that I missed?
A few things you could try:
1. To install cwm recovery, flash corn kernel using odin. Then try and manually mount sdcard and format it via recovery menu. If you can get into cwm recovery this way, you might be able to flash a rom from your external sd card.
2. One of the rom's (Slim Bean, Lanight or CM9...I don't remember which one for sure) mounts external sd card as /sdcard and internal as /emmc. That rom might work with your external sd card. It might be worth a try. Based on the above post, it sounds like it's CM9. If they fixed that thing, you may have to try and find a script that would map your external sd card as /sdcard.
3. I'm not sure if this is the case with i897 or not but you might want to find out if the internal sd card is removable or not. If it is, you might be able to use another one in its place. You might be able to find out that info online somewhere if you're lucky. Otherwise you would have to disassemble your phone.

@1. I went to CWM recovery and tried to manually mount the sdcard, it said error. (E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)
Again, when I tried to format it, it gave me same thing, failed to mount therefore failed to format properly.
@2. I would love to have CM9 installed on my phone right now, Ive been trying everything, use my other phones to somehow get the sd card to read. I tried looking for Odin way to install CM9 or something like so, where it doesnt require me to use sd card to put the zip file into it and have it install from phone. So Im stuck there..

I'm a little confused. Is your internal sd card that is fried or your external sd card or both? If it's only the internal sd card, I'm guessing you should be able to install zip from your external sd card. If it's your external sd card that's not working then you can try using a different sd card or you could use adb to transfer the CM9 zip file to internal sd card. If both are bad then you have to try using a new external sd card. You already may be aware but I'm stating the obvious...there is an option to install a zip from either internal or external sd card via cwm recovery. Or may be that this phone requires internal sd card to be functional in order to work. I guess in that case you will have to somehow map your external sd card as /sdcard. You'll have to ask the experts here if that's feasible or not. It might have already been answered. You may want to try searching for it.

Im sorry, Im not being lazy here, I am rather quite confused and will need detail info, I practically dont know much about the forum nor the terms etc. I do know basic somewhat, but its very limited.
The only way I know how to install CM9 or any CMs are through external or internal sd. Internal being usb connected and place the CM zip file onto it. External, same method. However, I am in a place where I cant access Internal sd cuz my computer wont let me access the phone driver (although I could connect to Odin). External as well, is not being recognized. As you see from previous pictures, everytime I format or do w/e, it keeps saying sd card errors.
I did read a person saying this: "Assuming it doesn't, I'm going to do a Heimdall or Odin flash to CM7 or stock and go from there."
But, I also tried looking on forum for that, where I could install CM through Heimdall or Odin.. couldnt find any.
As for "uhm"'s post, my cards arent fried (I highly doubt it), and I cant do those things because I cannot access all of my cards (internal / external), I MIGHT be doing it wrong, but I mean... it should at least even show up... I tried putting the CM zip file and gapp onto external sd, couldnt boot it. I cant access phone at all so I cant download any apps to assist me either...
Ive been stuck with this for 6 days googling all over the place, so far, even finding myself to download mode and recovery mode was through XDA community's help, and that alone is greatly appreciated. Which is why I guess I am relying on this community to somehow assist me in getting my phone to work

So, as much as I want to install CM on my phone, I cant seem to figure out a way other than using sd (which is not working). I tried looking on forum, I got +10 tabs open, surrounded by sd cards / usb / chargers / other phones all over the place, been stranded without phone for 6 days... I am trying but its quite difficult for someone who practically doesnt know anything about these things XP

Flash corn kernel usig odin... it has a built-in cwm recovery and that should let you get into the recovery mode and flash from your external sd card. The pics above show that you have stock recovery and not cwm. Therefore you can't see those zip files to flash rom's. After you flash kernel don't try normal boot. Press the required keys to get into the recovery mode. Search this forum to download corn kernel for uckk4 rom.
P.S.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 Download it from this thread and select that file for PDA section in odin and flash it.
I guess Im missing some picture, I do have the exact thing you are talking about and I do have CWM recovery (4.0.1.5).
When I try to install the CM9 zip from sd card using recovery mode, it says "E:Can't mount /sdcard" "Error mounting /sdcard"
And when I do apply sd card update, it also says
-- Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /sdcard/update.zip

You should have cwm version 5.x.x.x if you flashed the correct kernel if I'm not mistaken. Also you shouldn't be applying update.zip. You should be navigating to CM9 zip and then selecting it to flash it. There are two places to select zip from...internel and external sd card. Based on the error message, it seems like you're trying to go after internal sd card. I think in the recovery menu, install from sdcard option takes you to internal sd card. try the other option..I think it is labelled as install from internal sd card..I know it's misleading. Basically navigate to the right place and try again. Otherwise I suppose without a working built-in sd card, it would be very difficult to flash another rom. If that happens try looking into swapping the mapping of your external and internal sd cards. I think there are some scripts somewhere in this forum. Don't know if that will help you for sure or not as I never had to look into it so far.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1711150 is what I'm talking about. It says you need internal sd but I'm fairly certain you can get around it.

I have had my g1 for about a year now and I rooted it a few months ago. I've been trying to update the rom but everytime I try to format the sd card on my pc it says no disk found in drive F. I have tried it on other computers. I tried it via usb and a card reader. When I put update.zip into the root folder it says it cant find it. Please someone help! I need my phone to be amazing again!
Is the card formatted in Fat32?
Yeah its formatted to Fat32
you have to assign the a sd card a drive letter.
assign the sd card a drive letter.
How do I do this?
Well I just assigned it a letter and the same thing happens. I really am stuck.
What are you trying to update from? What update are you trying to apply? What recovery are you using? Do you have a file manager on your phone like androzip? If you can answer some questions, you may have a few workarounds....

You could try doin it with your phone (since you said you're rooted) using recovery
If you're using Cyanogen's recovery there's a good guide on androidandme.com
http://bit.ly/61CXFo
If you're using Amon_Ra's recovery I think it's automated, I've never used it before but from what I understand the you have the option to do it from the recovery menu
I'm currently running cyanogen mod 4.1.11.1 I'm not sure of the recovery image and I am trying to update to the next version of cyanogen. I think it might be a problem with my phone :S I really dont know. I have looked online and nothing seems to work I can put any update onto the sd card but when I try to update on my phone it says the file doesnt exist
it should say what recovery you are using in the recovery screen.
connect to wifi spot, download the new amon ra recovery, and move it from the download folder to the root of the sdcard using androzip (from the market).
follow the steps to flash the new recovery in the amon thread.
the next steps from there are up to you.....you can try to repartion your card using the menu option in recovery and then try to mount your g1 to your computer in the recovery menu. the recovery will allow you to choose what size partitions you want (fat32, ext, and swap) and do all of it for you. very handy.
once you get it to mount to your computer, you're in business.
if you think your card is ok as is, you could always download the htc file and cm4.2.6 directly to your g1, move them from download folder to sd root, wipe everything and flash.
either way, if you run into problems with your card, you maybe without phone until you get a good card.
good luck
Hey thanks for the great replies. Still no luck though I downloaded the amon ra recovery image and did what it said but when on the terminal emulator I type mount -a and it says 'mounting /dev/block/mmcb1k0p2 om /system/sd failed: no such file or directory'
Bump! PLEASE HELP ME
I have an international i9000 that seems to be pretty solidly soft-bricked. I've recently moved back to Canada from the Middle East and was trying to enable to 850 band so I could use it with Bell. I was under the impression that the Bell SGS and the international SGS were basically the same hardware so I flashed (ODIN) a PDA/PHONE/CSC designed for the i9000m. At the time I was on the teamhacksung ICS.
Now, regardless of what I do I always end up in basically the same spot. After my most recent flash through Heimdall, following the first reboot I end up in 3e recovery with the following errors...
---------
E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard
your storage not prepared yet. please use UI menu for format and reboot actions
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Data wipe failed
---------
I've been at this for 2 days and tried pretty much everything. Flashed through Odin and Heimdall as well as from recovery off an external SD. I tried 1-click de-brick. I tried to re-partition through ADB. I get various messages in ADB depending on what I'm doing. Sometimes it's I/O errors and sometimes it says "unrecognized disk label".
I can get to recovery and download so it seems like it should be solvable. My impression is that the partition table or structure on the internal SD card has been corrupted.
Sorry if there is already a thread for this with a simple answer, I've been through a ton and couldn't find anything that worked for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm not an expert in shell but I can follow instructions. Happy to try anything at this point.
Thanks
Exactly the same issue here, so I'll just wait for a solution here.
I think I saw this problems before. Have u backed up all your data? If yes then do this 3 ways below. If you haven't backed up yet, try to do Nandroid backup from recovery mode and restore it later.
Now try this:
1. On recovery mode: wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, in advance-wipe Dalvik cache.
2. Remove your external sd card ( put it back later if everything's fine ).
3: Set the USB debugging ON, settings-applications-development.
Hope this helps. If it does, please consider 'THANKS' button
At this point it doesn't boot into Android. It was looping for a while but now the boot animation will start, then the screen will go black and the back/options LEDs at the bottom come on. Anything on the phone is long gone after multiple wipes/flashes/etc. I'm not worried about that.
I'm pretty sure it's a problem with the partition on the internal SD. Does anyone know how to reset/repair the partition table and rebuild the partitions from ADB? Why doesn't that happen automatically when I flash from Odin/Heimdall? Isn't that the point of the "partition" toggle?
Or, could I try to convert the file system as if I were moving from a stock ROM to something like CM7 (ie...RFS to EXT4)? Would that recreate the partitions and fix this?
Thanks
Have you tried to flash a stock samsung firmware for your phone (i9000) and re partition using a 512 pit file via Odin? Have a read of the following thread below to get the latest Stock firmware for (i9000).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
Yep, I've tried several of these across froyo/gingerbread and always end up with an unmountable internal SD card. Just for fun I went and picked another one basically at random (JV6 2.3.3) and it flashed as normal and dumped me at recovery with the mounting sd card/storage not prepared error.
Are there really no takers on this? I keep reading that these are un-brickable if they still start up.
This might be worth a try, failing that you might have to take the phone to a Samsung repair agent.

I've the same problem and I've tried everything. Not I'm sure that the internal memory is broken, so I want to use the external sd as internal memory. I'm following your manual but I can't get it to work. I tell you what I've done:
1) I've formated the external sdcard with two partitions: one of 6 GB in vfat format and the other of 8GB in reiserfs. It seems to be ok.
2) I've tried to flash with odin the JVU 2.3.6 version. Here I've some questions: Shall I check re-partition? And apply the PIT file? I've tried all combinations but I still doesn't use the external memory and I get the mmcblk0p2 error...
Any help?
Here I have posted how I have solved my problem of corrupt internal memory. Look at it and I hope someone will help.
This guide install rom to SD Card, but still have question, how to repair internal memory? i`l boot`ed rom from SD Card, but cant see internal memory, use camera, etc. who need internal memory...
Maybe are any app to fix internal memory, when android boot`ed?
In most cases I have met (including Galaxy Tab P1000 and GT-i9003) with internal memory failure or corrupted memory, the only solution is to replace the chip. If you've booted your terminal and can not use the camera or see the internal storage, you have to modify the file vold.fstab according to your android version.
so i woke up this am and the phone was dead. dark screen but the bottom row keys lit up.
the phone is a original galaxy s captivate on att. i was running stock gingerbread with a root for at least a year or so. i have put custom roms on in the past but went back to stock using Kies
I've tried a couple of things that have worked for me in the past but no luck. here is what I've already tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/
Odin doesn't return any errors just won't boot, only DL mode or recovery. i can use the volume and plug in to get to download mode and the three button combo to get to recovery console but i keep getting the same error msg. i've tried to 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition'
see attached image (used a friends phone)
is this recoverable?
I'm not familiar with either method you tried but since you can get into download mode I would suggest the following. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 go to the third post and download the kk4 one-click without boot loaders. Run that then boot back into download mode. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 and download the corn kernel .tar file. Use Odin to flash it to your phone if you want root or to flash custom ROMs.
If you just want a working phone with gingerbread then the first link should get you set up. And to answer your question in the title yes the internal memory can get corrupt.

thanks for the quick reply. but i got the same screen after odin competed it said PASS! in green. but then the phone booted to recovery and a simmilar screen came up with ''failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory) but the rest of the red part is the same.if i hit' reboot device it brough back the ATT logo and the galaxy S but then it loops back to the ATT and keeps looping. anything else i can try? thx
Was this the Odin one-click or was it the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
that was Odin one click. i didn't even try the second one.
OK well try using Odin to flash the kernel I listed above. That should give you a custom recovery which will allow you the option of mounting and also formatting the SD card. Try mounting it to your PC first so you can backup anything you want.
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
ok, which Odin? and which slot does the kernel go in? sorry for all the dumb questions
ok, i got it. put it in the PDA slot and i'm running the custom kernel. but it still gives me an error when i try to mount the sdcard, just says 'error mounding /sdcard!'

Formatting anything will of course cause you to loose any data on the internal SD. I'm sure you know that I just want to be clear before you do what I'm suggesting.
Ok if you have an external SD card in the phone remove it now. Then in recovery go to Mounts and Storage. In there format sdcard and emmc. Then back out of that screen and select advanced and then reboot recovery. Then try mounting your sd card again or there should be a mount usb storage option which will allow you to mount it to your pc(if its working).
i totally understand. i keep backups of everything and i havent had the ext-sd or sim in this whole time.
in recovery i dont' see emmc, and when i try to format sdcard, the msg at the bottom is
'using format_unknown-device... '
'Error mounting /sdcard!'
'Skipping format...'
'done.'

Can you load another snapshot of what is listed in the mounts and storage screen?
sorry, i'll have to wait till tomorrow at work. i don't have a other phone that can take the pic
it's a little blurry but you can read it.
I have the exact same issue as you and I've worked around it by following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
I think your internal sdcard is dead
can you use mount usb storage option found in mount and storage

Try selecting - mount /data then try to reboot. ...a shot in the dark but its all i can see that is different from my corn kernel recovery. But probably as stated above, ur internal sdcard may b gone.

Any luck there?
Had similar issue long back, could not revive internal SD, I partitioned my external SD card (3 partitions, i forgot how), then loaded AOCP 5+ , it installed on to external sd which was considered internal by OS. It worked fine, but you can't swap out any other SD card easily as OS is in your external card.
Don't remember many details..
Hey All -
So even though I'm running two successfully rooted Samsung Captivates, both running the Dark Knight Rom Cyanogen 9 CWM, I'm super new to this, and am in need of some serious assistance. Recently my phone was accidentally factory reset by one of my kids, and after that it wouldn't boot. Luckily I bought some little gadget that shorts something in the device and puts it into download mode (it's been so long I have no idea what it was even called at this point). Anyway, I was able to flash the stock 2.1-Update1 Rom to the phone - which worked. Except ever since then I cannot download anything. I can't update anything. It says the internal sd card cannot be mounted, along with the external sd card. I know there's space - and the external sd card is 16Gb also. I'm really not sure what's going on. I've read somewhere that it could be some kind of corruption - but how do I format the internal drive if it can't mount or recognize it?
Any help is greatly appreciated beyond words. Thanks!

I'm not so sure why your internal and external aren't mounting but try to flash Odin KK4 with bootloaders: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3
That will give you stuck 2.3.5 (GB). From there, you can follow this link to root and get cwm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26710533&postcount=1 . -If you wanna get into custom ROMs, simply look in the Dev section for one that you like and follow it's full instructions.
I'm not 100% sure flashing Odin KK4 will fix your issue but it's a first step, let us know how it goes.

Thanks for the advice. So - using the Odin KK4 Bootloader one-click worked well - My device is now running GB 2.3.5. However, I still cannot mount the internal or external SD cards. I know this isn't the hardware in the device, because one thing did change.
When I was running Eclair 2.1-update1, I couldn't download or install ANYTHING - as SOON as I began a download it would FAIL - because it was reading there was no space. Well, After using the Odin one-click, the phone is partitioned differently, and I CAN download and install apps. BUT - here's what it says under settings/Storage Settings:
-------------------------------------
SD Card
Total Space:
Unavailable
Available Space:
Unavailable
Mount SD card
Mount SD card*
Format SD card
Erases all data on device's SD card, such as
music and photos
-----------------------------
USB storage
Total Space:
Unavailable
Available Space:
Unavailable
Format USB storage:
Erase all data on device's USB storage, such
as music and photos
------------------------------------
System storage
Available space:
1.77GB
--------------------------------------------
So I'm able to use the partition for "system storage" - I downloaded and installed an app just to be sure, and sure enough, my internal storage went from the 1.77Gb to 1.76 Gb - and the app installed properly.
When I try to use the camera, an error message reads:
"Turn off USB storage before using camera"
Also - when I try to click "Mount SD Card" under SD Card in storage settings it just sits there saying "mounting SD Card" until I give up and quit. It never actually mounts. Someone mentioned doing an RUU, or that I possibly lost my IMEI? But let me preface this message by saying I have knowledge of neither of those things. And it's a Jig that I use to put myself into download mode. Such a noob. lol. Thanks for the help so far. We're making progress...
Sheesh... So I just removed the SD card (external micro sd card) and immediately it told me it had been removed. Then an error proceeded to appear which disappeared too quickly to write down. It was something along the lines of:
"Process android. media.hub has stopped working...."
Then the phone reboot, and is now stuck in an infinite boot loop, where it simply continuously plays the opening 3G ATT intro video followed by the galaxy S intro video then repeats - for eternity. I've removed the SIM and Battery and tried again. Same results. So now it appears I"m stuck in an endless boot. Should I re-flash with Odin?
UPDATE:
So I ended up re-flashing - but this time, I took out the External SD card (I had left this in previously). This time - after showing a PASS with Odin and rebooting - applying the update FAILED. It said it couldn't mount E:/. I did this two more times to ensure this was not a fluke, and reached the same outcome. So I slapped the external SD card back in, and re-flashed, and VOILA - it worked. I'm back up and running - though STILL not able to mount my internal or external storage - and apparently - if I remove my external card, I'll enter an endless bootloop until I re-flash.
Did u try... pull battery, replace, reboot ? If no go then,
U could try to use the button combo to reboot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset then reboot. Try that before Odin One Click.

Unfortunately, yes. I did all those things prior to flashing with Odin. It seems that the initial flash goes smoothly, but then when I reboot the phone - for whatever reason - it's stuck in an infinite boot loop. I'm really confused here. Maybe I should try going back to stock Eclair again?
dont think going back to froyo will help.
keep the sd card in the phone, reflash kk4, then flash corn kernel.
it may be that your ICS rom (cm 9) had the EU error and your system is now using your 16 GB card as the 'internal usb storage' and the original internal sd is no longer available.
from kk4 with corn kernel, you can leave the sd card in the phone and try flashing the stable cm10 or a cm10.1 nightly.
you will need to flash it twice because jelly bean changes file partition scheme,
then flash gapps.
cm10 has the smarts to recognize a phone that has the EU error and will swap the partitions to make it work with your external sd.
you will find threads in the Captivate development forum with links and instructions for cm10 and 10.1 including links to gapps.
if you got the EU error, this fix should give you about 13 gb of user usb storage, it will actually be using your external sd. no known way to recover your internal storage.

Hey thanks man. I'll give it a shot after work today. That's fine since I have a 16Gb External SD card. My only concern is that I still won't be able to use the camera since it tells me now I need to stop using USB storage to use the camera. But I'll try it out and let you know what happens. Thanks.

So I flashed KK4, then added the corn kernel - but now I'm stuck. Remember my sd card won't mount properly, so to flash anything I need to use odin... Can I flash CM10.1 using odin? I tried doing this using a 10.1CM nightly, but it failed and wouldn't proceed.
UPDATE: So I redid this process and had a lot more SUCCESS!
I was able to mount the SD card through Corn Kernel and transfer a stable CM10 release, then flash successfully.
After boot it launched the CWM6 interface where I factory reset and cleared cache.
I rebooted and the phone booted successfully! It show's I'm on Jelly Bean and have 1.7 Gb of internal memory and 13 Gb of SD Card memory!
Thanks so much! My internal storage DOES seem to be gone - forever. But as long as this continues to work I don't see that as an issue... 16 Gb is plenty!
camera still says I have no SD card - but I'm going to try and download a different camera application.
Glad to hear it worked out okay. There may be a setting in gallery app that could fix the camera, idk. Camera app in jb is part of gallery apps.

Hi, tdunlavey,
I was having an issue similar to yours, and I've flashed kk4 and Corn Kernel, and I can boot up the phone now (yay!). But I don't understand how to mount the SD card through Corn Kernel and transfer CM10. Can you tell me how you did that? I would really appreciate it.

Go in recovery, mount/storage, mount SD card.
Hi... I actually tried that, and then I ended up back in a bootloop and had to reflash. I think that I'm in a situation where the internal SD card is lost and the phone is using the external card to boot up. And I suspect that when I tried to mount the card in recovery, it tried to access the internal storage and couldn't. This is all a guess. I'm a total newb at this stuff.
Also, my PC can't access mass storage on my phone. I was trying to move the CM10 zipped file onto the phone, but I got the "insert disc in drive E" error (for both drives E and F). When I look in settings, it has "Unmount SD Card" highlighted, so I couldn't choose "mount SD card" to get the PC to recognize the drive. I tried unmounting and remounting, but once I unmounted in settings, it wouldn't mount the card in settings, so I had to restart the phone.
Also, wifi doesn't work. When I try to turn it on, it just says "error". I can't access the Market, and most apps won't work. The phone works, texting works, the 3G works (I can use the browser or maps app), but it seems nothing else wants to work.
I appreciate any other ideas you have!

Sounds like your SD card might be dead.
You might have to swap everything to your external SD to have them work (like market and other apps). Sadly the internal storage isn't easy to replace so you either have to get another phone, motherboard or try to use it with the external SD.
replace external sd card with internal sd card
Hi friends
I will worke good news for the peoples who r using cyanogen mod and want to replace external sdcard with internal.
I was also on that situation before few hours. I solved this by my own.
It is very simple and no need to install any extra app. Just enter these following comands on terminal which is built-in on cyanogen mod.
1 . open the terminal
2 . su
3 . mount -o bind /mnt/sdcard /external_sd/external_sd
4 . mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd /sdcard
5 . mount -o bind /mnt/external_sd/external_sd /external_sd
Then close the terminal and chek ur storage or sd card options.
It will work 100% on each Android device running any cyanogen mod.
I have samsung galaxy w gt i 8150 with cyanogen mod10.1 alpha 6 jelly bean 4.2.2
Im sure it will work on you're device too. Don't worry just open terminal and enter these commands and see the magic.
Dont forget spaces u can see on commands.
Thank you.

I tried this twice.

I rebooted to recovery with cable still in, and went in usb storage. Nothing changed in toolkit. Now I didnt know what to do, so I closed the program and did the whole process again, this time making sure to keep the cable connected when I went to fix internal sd card. Still nothing happens. Now I dont know what to do. Can I fix this internal SD card by some other method? Why isnt it working? I really need my phone back working before dinner today, and really dont want to go back to my backup.
Thank you for all of your answers. I really appreciate it.

my friend,
if you read the OP in the AIOT, spyrosk has clearly stated this in option 4:
"Safety keys: If any of the “SD-Card fix” or “Enable Dual-Boot” step fails go to ToolkitFiles\tools folder and run the IntSD-MountFix.cmd or DualBoot-Enable.cmd accordingly. Attention: Both scripts are designed to run as standalone scripts also. The IntSD-MountFix.cmd is harmless "
Check this....if you are using the TWRP or CWM, flash a ROM using internal SD card, then you will know if it works.

Have you checked after you entered the recovery the first time(when the intSD Card fix in AIOT was with waiting for the device to enter recovery)...if you can flash a ROM from the internal SD and use it once boot is complete?

Not sure if I do this correctly but I try this now:
Quick format the disk that needs to be formatted according to my Windows 7, disk space of 4,6 GB i format in fat32 quick format, 4096 byte. Transfer tonyp paranoidandroid beta, as well as gapps and camera app to this disk. Unmount, flash paranoidandroid, then gapps, then launch and flash camera fix later from internal SD.
^ I tried the above and it failed when I start install paranoidandroid. It says:

Hope that can help you pros find the fault?? I have no clue what to do when things aint working. I try to google but find different phones and different problems...
EDIT: I flashed again and changed to cwm v6.0.2.5. I try to install from sdcard, and it says E: Can't mount /sdcard/. I suppose that has to do with the internal fix not working. I can install my rom from external SD, and did so earlier before I formatted again hoping to get internal sd fix working. When I was running the ROM, it said my sd card needed to be formatted (which I presume was the external sd for some reason? I wont format that, too many files and too slow a card). Going to about phone in settings didnt work, then settings would crash, but the rest of settings appeared to work. Camera did not work as I did not have external storage it said. Dont think there is anything else I noted. I dont even know if this is relevant... But is there no other way to fix internal sd card? I tried restart PC and install apx drivers again, but the install is instantaneous as it is already on my PC.

I have done this 5 times after you reported this issue...each time it worked perfectly.
after you got this message 'waiting for the device to enter recovery', have you clicked on any key inserting the USB cable to the device? and then after inserting click on any key in PC.....thats it.
There is no issue with the AIOT as I have performed 5 times....absolutely perfect flashing without any issues....
Can you describe what you did one by one....maybe we can find the error.

There is another method you can use to fix your internal SD. Dont know if it works on the latest versions of toolkit, but expected to.
See the "IntSD-MountFix.zip" attached to the first post of the AIO toolkit thread.
Flash it after partitioning, when your phone boots into recovery for the first time. Then reboot recovery and wipe and flash the ROM. Thats it.
The need to flash this zip was eliminated by spyrosk in later versions of the toolkit, by including a script in the toolkit itself. But since that isnt working for you, use the zip.
If you are thinking of how to put the zip inside the SD card to flash it, there are various ways, such as mounting external SD in recovery(mount USB storage), putting in external SD through some card reader and then putting the external SD inside the phone, or using adb sideload to flash it.
Alright, thanks both of you. I didnt use that .zip file yet for fixing internal memory. As far as I can understand, the fix is for making internal sd card mountable on PCs and the like? I have my phone connected now, and can see both internal sd card and external sd card on my phone. Do I even need the fix then? If I now install it, will I have to set up everything on my phone again? I spent all last night customizing everything and getting it how I want it to be... dont wanna do that again..
what do you mean with setting up everything again do you mean with the system or the sdcard? if you mean sdcard then the sdcard fix wil reformat the internal sd.
By the aio toolkit the auto internal sdcard fix worked for me by the TWRP from tonyp 2.5 and 2.6
Ok, I wiped everything again and ran the zip. It said internal sd was fine -__- all this trouble lol. Now I have new questions that are unrelated to original question but still need answering.
1. I did the factory reset wipe, cache wipe and dalvik cache wipe, yet my phone still remembers WiFi password when I install tonyp paranoidandroid 14 and gapps. It connected straight to my wifi. How can that be? What did I forget to wipe? should I wipe that thing I forgot?
2. My phone is automatically downloading all the apps I installed yesterday. This is the first time it has happened in my 10 custom roms on my 2 phones. Why is it happening? I love it!!
3. How do I replace the settings.apk I have with a new one? Check paranoidandroid thread on o2x development to see what i mean. I tried to just install, but it has failed me. After failed install I couldnt open settings at all. I read somewhere that I should copy the new settings.apk to system/apps and replace the settings.apk that is already there. That failed though, when I tried to move it in file manager in root mode. What do I do? I wish I could just flash it in, but it is apk file and not zip sooo I probably cant...
4. What is the best camera app I can flash? I pretty much only use camera for Snapchat and the occasional pictures when climbing mountains and no other camera is available... Suggestions?
The internal SD fix was for fixing SD mount in ROMs, not on PC. And it says mounted correctly, after fixing the mount, so it has done its job.
Now for your new questions:
1.google account backs up and restores wifi password
2. Similar to 1. You checked the option "restore apps from my Google account" at the setup screen, so it installs your apps
3.use a root file manager to push it to system/app and set permission to rw-r--r--
4. Camera mods have been made by Jishnu Sur, feav and defcomg. You can find them and try them, then pick one which you like, it's a personal choice.
