I have a problem and i would be very thankful if anyone could help me solve it:
I looked around the guides here and on youtube and found out that installing a custom rom is much better than sticking with the original gingerbread, so that's what i did. I tried RocketRom for a while and decided that i want to try checkrom to see which is better. So i downloaded the rom, performed all the wipes (cache, dalvik and battery stats) and reset the phone to factory. However due to my immense stupidity i forgot to put the rom on the internal phone memory and i saved it on my microsd card instead. so now i'm stuck: I can't access my internal phone memory because my phone won't start (either bootloops or it shows the boot animation once and then a black screen with nothing on it). And i wasn't able to use CWM to flash the rom using my microsd card because it keeps giving me the error "unable to mount". I looked around again and read that i should format the microsd card but nothing changed and i kept getting the same error.
So this is basically it. Is there a way to access the internal phone memory with my phone turned off? If not, what should i do? I just need to paste the damn rom but i couldn't figure out what to do :S
Any suggestions will be very very appreciated, and thank you for your cooperation

Seems like you have issues with CWM as I can access the external sd card without problems..
I think that your only solution is to:
-flash a pre-rooted GB ROM from THIS thread
- Use Chainfire's corresponding kernel to the ROM you flashed so you can get CWM recovery, get it from HERE
- after having both rooted ROM and the CWM recovery transfer the ROM you want to the sd card and flash it from CWM Recovery
Hope this helps
thanks
Thank you for the prompt reply, but i am still quite confused: how can i flash a rom if my phone does it boot? how will i get the rom to the phone memory? Remember the microsd card isn't working so i can't use it for flashing.

The ROMs in that thread use the .tar format and are flashed using PC Odin which uses download mode follow the instructions posted there and you're out in no time hopefully
OK
Ok which version do you recemmend? and should i use a wipe or non-wipe version?
Hi All,
I am in desperate need of help.
I have a nexus s. rooted, with cyanogenmod kernel and slimbean rom.
My friend has a galaxy s1 that had unrooted froyo.
A friend of his rooted it, and put gingerbread on it. I wanted to put slimbean on it for him.
I did so.
Except, that his mobile network wouldnt connect.
I googled, and found that this could be because the kernel is not compatible with the rom.
So I downloaded cyanogenmod kernel and flashed.
But this didnt work, because I think the download was corrupted or something.
I tried to re boot into clockwork, but it just got stock on the first loading screen.
Since then I have tried everything and have been googling for hours... I dont know what to do. I have tried so many different things.
Please can some guru help me figure out what to do?
My friend is pissed as hell at me, I told him it will be painless quick and easy. Thats how it was for me and i assumed same for him.
PLEASE!! I need HELP!! :'(
Edit: I reflashed semaphore and it now goes into cwm. But now when I flash the rom and reboot it, it just reboots automatically into cwm again. Anyone know where to go from here?
Thanks in advance,

It appears to be a bootloop. That means flashing messed with boot partition and you have to reflash boot. Is this phone i9000 or i9001?
Search for similar topics like: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590747
If you can get to CWM or download mode nothing bad happend - you can repair everything, however it would be wise if you had backup of previous, working ROM
Calm down its fixable first you try to fix it without Odin by
- flashing slim bean again don't forget full wipe flash i9000.zip twice the first time it will reboot half way through at least it did for me
-then pull out the battery and boot into cwm
- flash both slim bean files
- this should get the phone starting again after that to get network working flash this file in cwm http://www.mediafire.com/?fbgxblhbip7bkuv it should get network running credit goes to pwneman for that
Let me know how it goes

Try to format your sdcard in fat32 filesystem (through Windows/CWM or any other various ways if this won't work)
Also try other sdcard...
If formatting card doesn't fix the problem try to reflash CWM via Odin in Download mode.
ok i did a hard reset and left batt out for a good few min and got the sdcard back again.
i followed the steps u said latrop and it didnt fix it... still booted back into cwm...
since i now have the sdcard back i am making a backup zip file of it just in case lol
@divibyzero
i followed that post but it didnt fix the problem
OK you will have to flash with Odin I'll get back to you with instructions

Wait, before you odin flash:
Let me get this straight, your rom .zip is on your external sd card? it has to be in your internal sd card.
From the recovery main menu, go to mounts & storage. From there, plug in your phone to your computer and select "Mount internal USB storage."
You'll be able to then copy the rom file into your internal sd card. While you're at it, I'd recommend X-Bean, as it's currently faster and more stable than SlimBean. Then, unmount your phone and return to the recovery menu and select install zip and choose the file you've just copied.
Please let me know how it goes.
@kngroo
thats what i did.. ive flashed tons of roms and kernels before on my nexus s...
its this galaxy s 1 that isnt working for some reason... it was meant to be a quick and painless proceedure which has turned into a nightmare
gonna probably have to format the sdcard now :*(
Hi All,
I wanna give a SERIOUS thank you to latrop.
This guy is a freaking legend. He just sat with me for almost 2 hours helping me sort out the phone. We did almost everything you can think of and then some... But ultimately it was latrops great experience and knowledge that helped save my ass here...
Phone is running full on slimbean rom with great reception etc.
Latrop... you are a legend!!!
Just wipe/factory reset and wipe cache
its work for me and maybe it would work with you too
i have been running slim bean latest till date for some time now on my Captivate. few days back in the morning while i was playing music, my phone freezed for about 30 seconds and suddenly restarted. the problem is that the phone cant even boot. once it loads the kernel image and enters the bootanimation for about 10 seconds, it will keep rebooting till infinity. i left the phone for hours and flashed another Jb rom through the external sd card. after about 4 hours, the phone freezed and restarted with the same circling restart again. i left it for hours longer than before and succeeded in flashing ics rom. this time around, the phone freezed and restarted as usual in 1 hr. i tried to go back to stock gb which i did with heimdall one click package. after flashing the phone rebooted in recovery with errors that cant mount sd card and so on. i flashed an ics kernel luckily for me i was able to access the sd card this time around and flashed an ics rom. within 10nmins the phone freezed and restarted as usual. from here was the last i got progress with this phone. if i succeed in getting into recovery, i will get an error cant mount sd card likewise cant mount ext sd card. the condition of my phone now is that it never enters recovery no matter what i flash all it does, is restart in 2 - 3 secs whether in recovery or not. please what is the solution to this problem. is the chip responsible for mounting sd cards in the phone's main board dead or alive? because each time i manage to see sd card again, the content is always untouched.

Getting in download mode and flashing KK4 through Odin is your best bet atm. Once that's done, keep it that way (only get the apps you need) and see if it reboots again. If so, it is most likely a hardware issue but I'm thinking it isn't so far.
I would also suggest to redownload the ROMs and kernel you want to use and delete the hold ones.
If everything goes well with KK4, move up to a custom ROM (I'm sure you know the drill). But once again, only install the apps you really need (fresh install instead of restoring). A bit of a slow process but better be safe than sorry.

Do you use a external SD?
Usually flashing stock KK4 (through heimdall of Odin) will completely wipe any errors that isn't hardware related.
Just to be clear, KK4 flashes just fine but on the auto-reboot, it goes directly into recovery and gives you that error? If so, are you able to factory reset once you're in recovery?
Usually, after flashing KK4, the phone will fully start so something isn't flashing right. Also, have you tried flashing KK4 with the bootloaders?

this is the error i got on the recovery after flashing and it booted into recovery on its own. i have an external sd card. i also copied a custom rom to my external sd card and flashed an ICS recovery that enables intallation of zip files from external sd card. but when i succed in booting into recovery with it, it will give me error can't mount sd card likewise error cant mount external sd card. this is as far i can go
Did u ever see the "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen ? That's what ur problem sounds like. There r two threads in the Dev forum about that subject.

I believe I mentionned this before but Odin won't work on the same USB port Heimdall installs it's drivers on. You need to use a different port for both. Also, on a PC, I would highly suggest using the ports in the back for Odin (somehow they always seem to work better).

If you're able to mount through recovery, put the ROMs and kernel you want to flash on your internal SD (16gb). I'm not so sure why it won't read your external but it might be what's causing the errors. So once you moved those (if you're able to mount of course), turn off your phone, remove your external SD and give it another try. Kinda a shot in the dark but we're running short on options here.

I though about that too but flashing KK4 (through Odin or Heimdall) should take care of it and atleast let him boot on stock. I guess it is worth a try tho!
wow. u wont believe this. after sending my last message, i flashed KK4 again just for luck, i got the error as usual. i now did a factory reset, got an error though and rebooted the system. to my greatest surprise and for the first time, it booted to stock and started up without problem. i did a full format of the hard drive immediately as it was almost full. now i've been running the phone for 5 hrs now. and has not experienced any freeze so far.
as for the encryption unsuccessful, YES i've seen it twice. i will read on that and see what might have happened. thanks guys.

Are you able to boot in recovery? (3 buttons combo)
From there, you can try to clear cache/dalvik and reboot (booting will take a while).
Another option would be to try to mount the your SD through recovery, backup your files, get in download mode, flash KK4 with Odin one click, flash corn kernel with Odin 1.85 and finaly, get back on Slimbean as per their instructions.

So you flashed KK4 already? If not, you should.
As for flashing a ROM with Odin, you'd need it to be packaged for it (or made into a one click). Before flashing a new custom ROM, you'll need to fix your SD card problem.
If you're able to connect your SD card to your pc, backup it's files, format it and try it again.

Well first step would be to ask your friend if he got the EU screen. If so, follow the guide to recover from it.
You will need the bootloaders version of KK4 now as JF6 flashes old bootloaders. If Odin doesn't work, you can try Heimdall (know that Odin won't work on the same USB port as Heimdall, due to Heimdall flashing it's own drivers to that USB port).
I'm not sure what you mean by having to put the external SD card to make it work, do you mean that the internal SD works when the external is in? If so, copy it's content to your pc or external SD while you still can as you might need to completely wipe it.

I ask him, he said that he saw a black screen, he press power button but it did't work, then he put out battery then the phone was stucked in semaphore screen. When he give me his phone, I try to restock it using odin and JF6 . Thats all.
I mean that if external SD is put in, then phone then boot successful, if not it will bootloop. When using phone, it say both internal and external is unavailable, if i put out external SD the phone turn off immediately.

That sounds worse than the EU bug.. But I would still try their fix so follow their guide. Hopefully it helps, one thing though, EU is a ICS bug and you were on JB so there's something missing here.. Was there any changes or mod made before the black screen? Tried to install something perhaps?
As for JF6, it should never be flashed anymore as it flashes the old bootloaders. KK4 is what you need (GB 2.3.5) and since you flashed JF6, you'll need to reflash the GB bootloaders, so Odin KK4 with bootloaders.
So here are your next steps:
1- Find out what exactly happened before the black screen
2- Try to flash Odin KK4 (with BLs)
3- If it doesn't work, try with Heimdall KK4 with bootloaders (Use it on a different USB port)
4- If all of the above don't work, follow the EU bug guide
Thanks alot for your help, i will try tomorow, then i will report.
So I rooted my daughters samsung SGH-T599N, and installed philz touch and was planning on putting a custom rom on the phone. unfortunately out of habit, I put the rom file, and gapps file on the external SD, booted to recovery.. wiped cache, dalvik and factory reset to install a new rom. Unfortunately this device will not access the external SD card through the recovery, and now the phone just gets stuck with the samsung logo when turned on (so i cant turn debugging on again).... I can't get odin, or any other program to read and connect properly.... and now I'm stuck... I have been searching online for several days now trying to find a solution, but have come up empty. Any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.. I was even thinking to use adb to transfer files over but have been unsuccessful as of yet ...
sorry to burst your bubble but this exhibit 4g section is for T679 version.

do you have cwm installed? if so you could boot into that and in the advanced menu there's an option called mount usb storage. just make sure your phone is plugged into your computer boot into cwm and then advanced/mount usb storage, then open my computer and your external drive should so up also your internal I believe, so you could transfer your new rom and gapps to a new location of your choice.. though i'm not sure how you'd would do this on odin or other recovery software.
I actually had philz touch cwm installed, but I resolved the problem by flashing back to stock with odin in recovery mode... turns out this device just doesnt read external sd from recovery. adb push didnt work, sideload didnt work..lol . But good ole odin saved my butt again

i have the t599 using it now. got twrp from vanir rom after getting cwm and root. then flashed rom over. been messing with both vanir and carbon. but anyways i can flash from sdcard and extsd. only issue i have at the moment with new roms. after installing 2 games i have 0 freespace on /data. then again i dont use my phone much and just too lazy to find a workaround atm.
also everything ya need to know for the t599 is here as far as recoveries, custom roms, etc
