[Q] Formatted sdcard - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends! Today I did something really dumb on my i9000. I was about to flash a new rom and formatted the sd card.. Of course the files of the rom i was about to flash are gone and now when i try to mount usb storage to transfer the files again my computer doesn't recognize the phone.
The drivers were working before all this happened so i don't know how to fix this. I'm running devil touch recovery v6.0.2.7.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks for your help.

2 things you can do one is to use a program called recuva by pirifrom (Google it and Google a how to) to get the data back off the SD card assumming u have not over written it and u have a sdcard to USB converter.
The other is to uninstall the drivers from PC and install them from fresh there should be guilds here someware

can i install the market via ODIN?

hey guys, still having roblems
just want to know if theres a way to install the market using ODIN?
thanks
also
when i put something onto the phone in USB storage, when i go into the phone its not there.
same as when vice versa
i take a picture, i go into the phone when on the PC and it is not there
Anyone got any ideas please tell me
Hi.
You can't use Odin to install the market.
Odin can only inject rom / kernel / modem -- not the apps.
If you have a SD card in your phone then computer-side you should have two drives mounted in "my computer". One for internal SD, one for external SD (your real and physical micro-sd card).
Your pictures are on the "internal SD card", /DCIM/camera/
Well I'm not sure about this but you should go to the developement section and then to the cyanogen mod thread. There you should find a link to a download saying "Gapps". You should flash this in CWM. Now I'm not sure about this as it may only work on cyanogen.
Another thing you coild do is install a fresh stock rom or a custom rom.
Hope this helped.

[Q] usb debugging mode

hi guys,really sorry if this has been asked before and i have done searching.
this maybe a really silly question to alot of people here.
i know you can open up the usb drives when using kies or media player/mass storage,but is there a way to open up the third drive when connected via debugging,maybe my question is wrong what am asking but the screenshot will most likely explain it better.
Have you partitioned your external SD card or something? Why would you need more than a drive for internal and one for external?
My phone was playing up a bit when I installed some apps,so after Even uninstalling them didn't help.so I thought it was the rom I was using which was from docs js7 9.8.1 wipe csc jp9.modem jpy.kernal k13c 500.no lag fix no tweaks.so I decided to flash jpy via Odin with repartion using 512 pit and 3other files.when this was done there was no ex card in phone.after that was done I cooked up the same type of rom with less apps flashed via cwm flashed theme cwm inserted ex card and I had 3 drives when USB debugging was on.that's all I have done

(q) (neeed helppp!) please! :(

Hello, just wanted to discuss a quick issue im having with my Samsung Captivate.
So its been about a few weeks since ive been on Phoenix's latest rom (js8). Ive been having the urge to go on to a gingerbread rom so i clicked on to the installation steps on how to flash the latest Miui rom (1.5.6 RC8b) So i finished the first step which was step 4 (since 2.2 roms start out at step 4) On the second step after i finished formating everything and going to Flash Miui RC2.zip. I noticed i put the Miui RC2.zip and RC8b file on my External SD card and not my internal SD. I cant flash the Miui RC2.zip file because my phone wont locate it in the Install From Zip option. Im pretty much stuck in the Orange Clockwork Mod recovery now. The other thing that sucks is i cant mount my phone (usb wise) to try and move the files back into my internal SD so i can download the files to continue on to the next step. I really need help! seriously. Ive already tried moving the files in Android/ music folders/ data/ in my external SD card, but the phone wont recognize it in those folders. Really need help please! I dont want to stay in recovery forever!! :/
the DEV are isnt the place to ask for help!
use CWM
mounts and storage> mount USB
copy files from pc to X:/sdcard/ this time!!!!
flash it.
next time post QUESTIONS IN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
next time post QUESTIONS IN QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Download Odin one click and go back to stock (2.1), then go back to the MIUI page and start at step one.
and what does
"Ive already tried moving the files in Android/ music folders/ data/ in my external SD card, but the phone wont recognize it in those folders."
have anthing to do with your problem?
music? huh
you are flashing a rom
roms can only be flashed from internal sd card.
from sdcard folder or below. not above
I'm just in big need of help, ill remember next time not too. If you didn't read it all, i said that i couldn't get it to work using mount storage/ mount usb. My computer isn't recognizing the device , and i have my Samsung drivers on my computer, so idk why its not working.
I was just saying to see if i could at least make it possible, and i found it out it couldnt. I cant get it back in my internal SD directory.
fuhhhhhhhhhh* i really have to go back to 2.1? i guess i have no choice :/
You could also set you phone to download mode and Odin whatever tom and kernel you like. Miui is still beta, I suggest you use either stock GB or the other custom ROM.

Thanks for the suggestions killer! to everyone else, i went back to mount usb/ like TR told me to do, i restarted my computer and plug it in usb and it worked, put files back and flashed, im on miui, thanks for the help and the suggestions!

[Q] ADB pull /sdcard not working?

hey
I've a question I try to save the data of a friends phone whos screen is broken and dont respond.
Everytime I use
Code:
Code:
adb pull /sdcard/ C:\Android
it responds with
Code:
Code:
pull: building file list...
0 files pulled. 0 files skipped.
What do I wrong??
Thanks for your replies
Does really nobody know it?
Or does anybody have a solution the save data from a phone which screen is broken (black) and touch screen doesn't work either and last but not least usb debugging isn't enabled.
Without USB debugging enabled, you can't connect trough adb, try doing "adb devices", wich will probably show nothing, what means that you can't use adb.

I've rooted the phone blind and in the recovery my pc shows the device in the list, status = recovery.
Oh okay, then try to mount sdcard and try again, if that doesn't work, try to unmount it again and try again.

thank you very much for your replie, i tried it with my phone (i9000) and it worked
the problem is that my friend has a Galaxy S3 and i don't know the structure of CWM 5.5...
Well there isn't that much difference between the cwm versions, if you look at it it almost explaines itself
Sent from my awesome fridge
there are some diffrentes between the versions and because i don't see what i do, it's very important to know in which order the things are coming
At the moment the situation is the following:
All the data on the sd got erased (i dont know when), but i have now access to the sd over the pc. The problem is that the S3 doesnt support usb mass storage which means that recuva etc to restore the files wont work.
Are there any other ways to restore the data or to activate usb mass storage?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
not unless you have a TitaniumBackup...if you have CWM 6.0.1.0 mounting USB storage option is in recovery itself
also i have no intention of high jacking this thread but off late i am facing certain weird issues with adb myself Error mounting SDcard
My dont have a TitaniumBackup but that is anyway useless cause he need his pictures etc. Do you have read the whole thread? Because at the moment the problem is that i cant restore the data from the erased sd card cause windows dont detect the Galaxy S3 as a Usb mass storage. And because the screen is broken I also cant try a solution from xda ^^
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well, the data on your sdcard is gone, if adb won't recognize it. But what files do you want from your sdcard? 'cause when you only need the pictures, it might be auto-uploaded on dropbox or google drive etc
Sent from my awesome fridge
I think you missunderstood ^^ first the pictures arent uploaded to dropbox etc. And the problem first was that i couldnt get access to the data cause he had a pin to unlock which i cant tip in without screen. After flashing a 3 file fw the pin was gone and i could access the data. Unfortunality it also formated the whole SD.
The same Problem happend to my phone and i could restore my data with the program called "Recuva".
The problem now is that the S3 don't have a USB Mass Storage like the S1 and the PC dont detect it as a hard drive so Recuva wont recognize it either
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Well you can always buy a USB stick with sdcard availability, or use another phone with that sdcard to wich does have mass storage enabled.
Sent from my awesome fridge
The problem is, i need the data from this Phone. Accidently it formated the whole internal memory on which everything was (Music, Pictures etc.).
With a Tool called Recuva you can restore deleted files. But Recuva doesn't recognizes the Galaxy S3. Because Galaxy S3 don't have Mass Storage anymore, I thought Samsungs uses now MTP or something like this. And now i need a Tool or something to restore everything from the formated internal SD.
Try searching for that on google.
Sent from my awesome fridge
I did for nearly 5 hours
you're my last hope
All wouldn't be a problem if the screen would work or if my friend enabled usb debugging
Is there any possibility to get into recovery mode and flash a Rom? If yes, you could use a Stockrom with a modified build.prop so USB debugging would be enabled.

Usb debugging dont matter at the moment cause all files are deleted! I need a tool to restore a formated sd

Okay nevermind, it's possible, but to recover the files you need something to pare your sdcard to your PC, do you have any other phone or a USB stick with a sdcard slot?

There is a file on my internal memory I cannot delete. How do I get rid of it???

The name of the file in question is:
í/à=√f+ⁿ.bí£
Yes, that filename has a forward slash in it!!!!!!!!
How do I get rid of this file??
It is preventing me from running NanDroid backups, and I cannot format the partition (bizarrely).
I suspect the filename is corrupted.
If I run ls -il I do not get an inode number, just a series of question marks ?????
Have you tried renaming it and then deleting? Try also a different file manager if that doesn't work (Solid Explorer Trial shouldn't have any problem)
It can't be renamed unfortunately.
I have used a variety of android file managers with no success.
I'm rooted on CM10.1 and have tried CWM tools also.

Connect device as mass storage and delete from PC
still you can't delete it then install unlocker (attached here) to PC and delete with that
This should work otherwise
Last option copy data to PC and format internal memory.

Thanks Dr. Ketan
I can't delete from Windows or Linux on a PC.
The forward slash confuses both O/Ss.
I'll give the UnLocker a go, thanks very much for that :thumbup:
I've tried formatting through CWM and Android, it fails for some reason.

The unlocker tool didn't do the job I'm afraid.
And Windows would not format the partition.
I found a Windows tool for formatting FAT32 on large memory sticks.
Copied all the files from my internal memory, apart from the dodgy file.
Used the FAT32 tool to format the partition.
Copied all my files back.
NanDroid now works
Awesome

Hello.
I have exactly the same problem as you. Could you explain the way you format the partition? I tried with 3 different usb format tools but I cant find the way to format it from my computer, they dont detect my internal memory as a usb drive and I dont know how to do it
Thank you very much.

I had the same issue with multiple files not deleting. The solution I found was the following. I have Chasmodo's Asylym ROM installed, and its kernel has the TWRP recovery, and in advanced settings of that recovery mode you have the option to pick what you want to mount. I connected Note to my PC and picked Mount USB storage in TWRP, and the phone's internal storage was now accessible on my computer. After that, I just formatted it on my PC using the usual method: right click on the drive, Format, picked FAT32 and quick format. It cleaned the entire thing and the freakin files were finally gone. Do keep in mind that this wipes your entire internal storage.

Hi
So sorry I haven't replied earlier, I removed the subscription from the thread once I nailed the problem.
Basically you have to connect to the N7000 as a mass storage device.
There are different ways of doing this depending upon the Rom you are using.
This mounts the internal and external drive on the N7000 as drives in Windows.
Then using a FAT32 formatter you can format the internal drive.
It's that simple.
Take it easy.........FF

When I face these problems on Linux, usually I use " rm -i * ".
That is the interactive mode of "rm".
So basically the system will ask you to delete each file it founds on the directory. You'll answer "no" for each file except the one you want to delete.
The system should be able to pass the right info to the rm command (I think it will not pass the name but the inode) to delete it.
