Hi,
A nephew asked me if I can fix his phone. So I have no idea what he did to get this.
But the problem is that all app's crash when booted (including android system app's). So it isn't possible to use the phone.
What I tried to fix:
-Wipe data/cache/dalvik -> crashing install guide + crashing app's
-Flash CWM -> succeeded
-Flash Cyanogenmod:
.. from internal sd: "BAD zip" error
.. from external sd: "No files" when choosing folder "external_sd"
Also a weird problem is that when i mount the internal sd from CWM, I can access the files from my computer.
If i add files, delete files, format the disk. The internal sd is back to its original state after rebooting the phone.
Could this be a hardware defect? Any idea's what I can try?
Thank you in advance.
same here...im in gingerbread 2.3.6 JW4.
apps are crashing and cant use the internal sd card..no errors display when i do a full factory format but it restores in the same state as before.
tnx in advance!!!!!

Captivate, build 1007, current rom cognition
I've gone back to stock with odin, things look normal, but when i root and flash back to a rom [cognition] i am unable to add few, if any apps. manage applications has any apps in this "computing" mode that never changes
when i try to wipe Dalvic cache, it appears to wipe, but "E: can't/ mount/ dev/ block/ mmcblk1p2 (file exists)" Does that mean i'm not really wiping dalvic ?
I've also wiped partition cache, formated system, data and cache, should i format sdcard?
I have several apps in TiBu, can i copy that folder back to the sd card if i format the sd card?
I've also also wiped data/factory reset ed from both CW recovery as well as in android.
This question has come up in other areas but with either no answers or to delete cache from market, which of i cannot do when it's 'computing'
Any thoughts or assistance will be appreciated
thanks
I'd imagine that you already found a solution to your issue, being that it was posted a while ago. I wanted to post what worked for me, with the same issue. Look in your SD card for a folder called .android_secure. There you will find all your downloaded apps, delete all the apps with a -2 in the extention. They are duplicate apps that have been stored. Once I deleted all thos it worked for me!
Hello,
To make a long story short
Probably one of my installed apps is causing this problem I have (app2sd)
A few days ago I always got this "force close" msg for ALL of my apps.
I decided to factory reset - although it worked ALL the apps folders were not deleted from internal memory
BUT the apps are not there realy, just the folders.
I did a hard reset, the same.
all the info on the INTERNAL MEMORY comes back after any type of reboot.
Tried to FLASH and reinstall the ORIGINAL STOCK. -- NOTHING it doesn't work, I mean the new installation is but the apps' folders are STUCK on the internal memory of the phone.
Any help?
How can I really format the internal memory? flash it totally? I can't even re install the apps again from market, it doesn't let me.
help?!

If you are currently on Gingerbread 2.3.6, go into menu> settings > storage and format your SD card and settings privacy> to do a factory reset and erase all than try power down and boot into 2e recovery to do a wipe data and wipe cache and reboot phone to download mode and re-flash the ROM again and back to recovery again to wipe data and cache
I downloaded the HydracoreNirvana kernel and installed it through CWM.
Later I thought of installing the Ultimate N7000 XXLSZ JellyBean 4.1.2 v5.2 ROM but I read somewhere that the HydraCoreNirvana kernel was not supported so I download SpeedMod K5-1 and flashed it through odin. The phone Rebooted but it didn't restart. It only showed the "Samsung Galaxy Note" screen and won't turn on.
I managed to boot into recovery and install the SpeedMod kernel and then, as stated in the ROM's OP, I flashed it checking every step as I took.
ROM was installed successfully but after the Language selection screen it shows "Samsung SetupWizard has stopped". I tried reflashing the ROM but its still the same error.
How do I get past this??
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
boot into recovery... mounts and storage> format - system, data, cache and preload and install the rom again

Okayy. That worked. Thanks a lot!
But the phone is lagging a lot now. Its even worse than before (And I haven't even installed any apps myself yet!). Any way to correct that problem?
install Titanium Backup and remove some of the apps that you dont use.. clear some space and it should become smooth.. also as you have just installed the rom, wait for media scanner to finish... give it a couple of hours
Okay.. One last question, I backed up my Messages and Call Logs through Titanium Backup to an .xml file but now when I want to restore it it doesn't give me the option to select from card/phone. It only shows "DB text editor" and "Dropbox". How do I fix this?
check if your internal and ext SD is detected properly. also check in TB preferences for the location of the backup folder
Yes, the Ext. card and the SD card are detected properly. I copied the backed up .xml files to the existing back up folder for TB but it still doesn't give me the option to restore from the card.
did you try going to preferences>backup folder location> detect
It says "No backup location was found" even though I've set a backup location!
may be try reinstalling TB
Hi at all, I've a problem with my samsung galaxy note n7000, I have the latest 4.1.2 original samsung touchwiz , I've only rooted it,

Did you format it to fat32? In recovery did you try formating the external storage?

I'm facing the same problem right now. It occurred after I did a hard reset. In the best case scenario, this is just a partition table corruption, but in the worst, a physically damaged card.
On Linux, I have fixed partition tables with a nifty tool called gpart (not gparted). There is a similar utility available for Linux, Windows, Mac etc. called TestDisk. Unfortunately, these tools are not available on Android. However, there is something called aparted available on Play Store that supposedly fixes filesystems.
I have installed it, but it wants to install some browser addons too. I've tried to repair the filesystem that it shows as empty, but no luck so far. I will shortly check its online manual, but I hope we can get something like gpart on Android.

Hi, I have been able to get the Internal SDCard (/storage/sdcard0) mounted again, albeit with loss of data. Look at my recent post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48595569&postcount=24
and the one from which I got the hint
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35726016&postcount=6
The step by step procedure is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26285877&postcount=12
but if you have only one partition damaged, you could just check it with e2fsck and then, if necessary, recreate it with mkfs.exfat or the other method in the referred post.

I don't know if you can recover your original data - I had tried formatting the partition, by mistake, to ext4 with mke2fs. You could avoid this, and see if you can back up your partition with dd before re-formatting it to fat32.
solved, I download latest frimware, and flash it throught odin and all are fixed
I have a Samsung Captivate I'm using as my daily driver right now. Until recently I was running Cyanogenmod 11, but got tired of doing a wipe and install every time the Google Processes started failing, so I tried out ParanoidAndroid 4.3. After flashing the new ROM and GApps, I realized only 1.26 GB of Internal Storage is being recognized. My external SD card is recognized, but not the remainder of my 16 GB of onboard storage. I have tried wiping Cache Partition, Dalvik Cache, Data Reset and reinstall, and have tried formatting /system and /data, but cannot get it to recognize the storage no matter what. Using "Explorer" by Speed Software (first file explorer that popped up on Play Store so if I need to use something else to help diagnose, please let me know) my external card is under the root folder "emmc" and is designated "sdcard1". "sdcard0" (which I assume to be my onboard storage) is under the root folder sdcard, but when I click on it in my file explorer, I get the notification that "The SD card is not currently mounted" I'm using CWM 6.0.4.8, when I reboot into recovery and go to "Mounts and Storage" "sdcard0, sdcard1, /data, /datadata, /system" all have the options to "mount" next to them. I select this, reboot, and nothing has changed. I really don't know what else to try.
P.S.

Also, the permissions on sdcard0 are RWX------, while the permissions on sdcard1 are RWXRWXR--. Don't know that that would affect whether or not the system recognizes it, but wanted to give all the info I could.
