Got almost the same problem earlier today (not with CM though).
A restart solved that problem (for now). Have you tried that?

i tried it (restart) but its not working
Same error (Please Insert SD Card before using the camera.)
please help me friends .

Has there been any kind of notification telling you that your SD is corrupt?
Can you see your SD card in a file manager?

Do you even have an SD card? CM does the internal storage differently.

I'm surprised that Cyanogenmod install can be done without a physical external SD card.
It's mandatory to have an external SDcard to use Cynogenmod, even if your internal SDcard is empty.
There are complicated things to do as mentionned above to switch internal and external mounting points for Cyanogen but I can guess this can be tricky for someone not used to those things....
So:
- buy a sdcard, even a small one, internal sdcard still can be used for multimedia files and so on, and is mounted as /mnt/emmc (grab Astro File manager for exemple to see it) and is concerned by media scanning.
- flash back stock firmware (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849) if you didn't made a Nandroid backup before flashing CMod.
- flash another optimized Froyo rom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849 there are some)
- Didn't try Paul Modaco's Gr2, based on official Lg leak 2.3.4, perhaps its mouting points are more conventionnal; but Gr1 pre-baked didn't went good for me as there were no SIM card detection (probably missing some APN related files or so...) so I jumped to CyanogenMod Nightly.

I just bought an O2x with CM7 RC1 already installed.The camera doesn't work (Please insert an SD card before using the camera) and my computer doesn't find the phone when i connect the USB cable(it says it's charging but nothing happens on the phone or the PC). I tried installing LG Pc Suite and the official software on the LG site(mobile updater) and the USB driver seems to be installed but nothing happens when i connect the phone.
What should i do? Should i flash a newer CM7 nightly or a stock firmware? (i have literally no idea how to do that, i'm going to have to read some tutorials).Can i do that if i can't connect the phone via the USB cable? Is there another way?

Yeah flash a newer version, RC1 is quite dated. In the new nightlies you can make internal storage replace the SD card.
You can update the drivers with the LG Mobile Support Tool, PC Suite isn't compatible with CM7.

I installed LG Mobile Support Tool, still nothing. The battery is "Charging" but nothing else happens on the phone/pc. Can i flash a newer version if i can't use the usb to connect to the phone?
Edit: The phone has ROM Manager 4.3.2.3 installed and when i start it: "The SD Card needs to be mounted to use ROM Manager."

I suspect you don't have an SD card, only internal storage. You can't use ROM Manager with that on RC1.
Try the drivers here: http://android.modaco.com/topic/335...elease-103521-20110725/page__view__getnewpost

No, i don't have external SD card. The phone already had CM7 when i bought it. So i just have to download those 3 files and follow the tutorial?
I also found this tutorial and it has that AP BIN thing in plus. Which one to follow? I would be happy to install stock froyo if everything works on it.

Which one to follow depends on what you want for your phone. Personally I'd use CM7.

Ok , i'm gonna go with CM7. If i follow that tutorial(the one you posted) what exactly i'm gonna have on my phone? What does it do? Don't i have to install a newer CM7 nightly build?
This tutorial doesn't say what to put in the AP Bin box, i just leave it blank?

If you go with CM7 then you have to install via recovery, not Smartflash, completely different process.
Download the newest version from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p990
Save to your phones internal SD card
Update recovery (unless already on 4.0.0.9 or higher)
Reboot to recovery (can use ROM Manager for that)
Install zip from SD card
Choose zip
Select the CM zip and pick yes
Reboot
In the CyanognenMod settings, in the top option (i foget what it is now) tick 'use internal storage'
Reboot again and you're away

"Save to your phones internal SD card" How am i gonna do that? I can't use usb to connect the phone.

Oh, have you not sorted that yet? Bugger.
Try running mount -t auto /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 /sdcard from the terminal, with any luck this will make your internal SD /sdcard and you should be able to download CM via the phone. You can also use ROM Manager to install it then as well.

[Help] Phone Completely Dead

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_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.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
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.
# MANUAL MODE #

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.

[Q] MicroSD & USB connection problem

First of all, Hi to all...
I have a serious problem related to my MicroSD and USB connection with my pc...
1. I wanna let you know that i try to find anything to help me but no success and i don't wanna risk it on my hand anymore because i'm in this situation coz of my self
2. Here is the problem... I bought my Samsung Galaxy Ace GT-5830i like 2 months ago and i liked the phone and all but i'm a bit of a wanna have them all guy, so i started downloading all kind of apps and games on the phone, all of a sudden i got msg low memory... i check it and i see that my phone has only 180mb of internal memory which i already knew but the thing i didn't knew that can't put all my apps on the external memory ( microSD ) so i start searching for anything that will make my phone free for my apps and etc... i found so much sites and after long searching i get to the bottom of the thing that i need to root my phone so i can do some external with internal switch tweak or anything else so i do it... i root it... i have Superuser in my phone, then i get to the next thing making more space for apps and etc.. first i started with some simple like Link2SD, App2SD and etc... all of that was easy and fine but not good enough, so i get to the next lvl i found this program i'm not sure about the name some Android SDK Tool i think. The tutorial i find had this thing, you get how much space you want from your MicroSD and give it to the phone as Internal memory... i give 2gb of space of my 8gb MicroSD to the phone. on the start all looked fine somehow apps worked and i manage to transfer them to that partition... but i had problem with some apps they installed on the phone internal memory by any means and i started losing space again and few days later i got same msg for low space on internal memory... i worked it out somehow i transfer everything i can on my sd but force... i think here is my mistake but transfer all my data to sd including some of the system data and apps. i work it out somehow till 3 days ago when i was searching your forum for update of my 2.3.6 ( Gingerbread ) to other newer one... on the way i find some really good post on this forum for making my external (MicroSD) as internal memory and my internal memory as external and i was so happy to try it out, but i had some problems i put the file on the sd i do everything but the book and i replace my system file with the one from the forum but no success... i try everything but no success and i don't why the hell i get my sd card out of the phone and put it with sd adapter in my laptop and i notice that it says that the card is 5.xxGB total space... i totally forgot that i do the thing with the program like 1-2 months ago and i was like what is going on why my card is 5gb instead of 7.xxGB (8 GB) and i try to format and i format it but the total space was 5.xx GB again and i google it.. i found some program saying that will get my SD back to normal i use it and 4real my SD was 7.xx GB again... then i put it back on my phone...
3. This is where the real hell begin... my phone doesn't recognize my SD... i enter settings ->> SD card and phone storage settings... i get Total space: Unavailable, Available space: Unavailable, Moung SD Card ( gray ), Format SD Card ( gray )... i though is broke my SD but i was like lets try my 2GB card and i put it, turn on the phone same thing again... i try both cards on other android phone and both work perfect... i try connecting my phone to my pc and pc doesn't recognize my phone, like i didn't connected it at all... i connect my usb adapter to the the power and phone charge without any problem... i try resetting my phone to factory setting... phone reset and all but problem still exist, i reset on phone start with pressing all key together, problem still exist... sd is not recognized but the camera/ airdroid app/ phone settings/ etc...
4. sry for my eng im not from eng based country.
5. Help me somehow... tell me what to do... send me link of some problem fix... or anything... i will be 4eva thankful for saving my life. :good:

The tutorial i find had this thing, you get how much space you want from your MicroSD and give it to the phone as Internal memory... i give 2gb of space of my 8gb MicroSD to the phone. on the start all looked fine somehow apps worked and i manage to transfer them to that partition... but i had problem with some apps they installed on the phone internal memory by any means and i started losing space again and few days later i got same msg for low space on internal memory... i worked it out somehow i transfer everything i can on my sd but force... i think here is my mistake but transfer all my data to sd including some of the system data and apps. i work it out somehow till 3 days ago when i was searching your forum for update of my 2.3.6 ( Gingerbread ) to other newer one... on the way i find some really good post on this forum for making my external (MicroSD) as internal memory and my internal memory as external and i was so happy to try it out, but i had some problems i put the file on the sd i do everything but the book and i replace my system file with the one from the forum but no success... i try everything but no success and i don't why the hell i get my sd card out of the phone and put it with sd adapter in my laptop and i notice that it says that the card is 5.xxGB total space... i totally forgot that i do the thing with the program like 1-2 months ago and i was like what is going on why my card is 5gb instead of 7.xxGB (8 GB) and i try to format and i format it but the total space was 5.xx GB again and i google it.. i found some program saying that will get my SD back to normal i use it and 4real my SD was 7.xx GB again... then i put it back on my phone...
3. This is where the real hell begin... my phone doesn't recognize my SD... i enter settings ->> SD card and phone storage settings... i get Total space: Unavailable, Available space: Unavailable, Moung SD Card ( gray ), Format SD Card ( gray )... i though is broke my SD but i was like lets try my 2GB card and i put it, turn on the phone same thing again... i try both cards on other android phone and both work perfect... i try connecting my phone to my pc and pc doesn't recognize my phone, like i didn't connected it at all... i connect my usb adapter to the the power and phone charge without any problem... i try resetting my phone to factory setting... phone reset and all but problem still exist, i reset on phone start with pressing all key together, problem still exist... sd is not recognized but the camera/ airdroid app/ phone settings/ etc...
4. sry for my eng im not from eng based country.
5. Help me somehow... tell me what to do... send me link of some problem fix... or anything... i will be 4eva thankful for saving my life. :good:

How did you restore factory reset? You can try flashing with Odin, if you want any guides, ask me!

By the way, did you tried reinstalling drivers? Try this to get your phone connected to your PC:
1.- Open Kies.
2.- Go to Tools on the top, and select Troubleshoot connection error
3.- Disconnect your phone from the PC
4.- On the window that appears, click on Start
5.-Wait for the process to finish, when its finished, connect your phone, see if it recognizes it now.
Meanwhile, let's try flashing a new ROM to your phone with CWM:
*This will delete ALL your data* *Your warranty will be void when doing this, though you don't have more warranty since you rooted* *You can get your warranty by flashing with Odin, but you would have to fix the PC recognition issue* *Make a backup before doing this if necessary* *I'm not responsible for ANYTHING that happens to your phone*
1.- Download the attachement below and this
2.- Push both files to your SD card
3.- Shut down your device, and boot it while pressing Volume Up + Menu button (middle button) for 6 seconds. You will now be in Recovery mode.
4.- Go to Apply update from SD card. You can go down or up with volume buttons, and you select a menu with Menu button.
5.- Select the downloaded attachement (update.zip). If no files appear when selecting Apply update from SD card, select Wipe data/factory reset and then Wipe cache, and then reboot. This probably means your SD card reader isn't working.
6.- If you can select the attachement means that your SD card reader is working. When it finishes flashing the attachement, you will see a new orange menu coming. There select Wipe data/reset, Wipe cache partition and then go to Advanced and select Wipe Dalvik Cache.
7.- After that, go back to the main menu (pressing the back button on the right bottom of your device) and the select install zip from sd, after that choose zip from sdcard and then select the GingerAce ROM.zip downloaded before.
8.- Reboot, see if your SD card works.
If your SD card isn't working yet, tell me. We'll try flashing with Odin if your PC is able to recognize your phone, but I didn't found any official firmwares for your country. If still this doesn't work, your last choice would be to take it to warranty, but for that you would have to restore it with Odin first.

first of all i wanna say i love you man you really saved my life !!! i will be forever thankful to you for doing this! i press thank you on every button where i can to bring up any good for you on this forum... anyways i don't feel like i done enough with that for ya so if you have any trouble about anything outside phone world pm me anytime
i have only 1 more thing to ask from you... just send me a link from this forum that you know for sure will work for me to make my external(SD) as internal memory coz i will throw my phone on the street in the snow... i have 150 mb free

Glad that the problem was solved. I'm not very sure what you mean, but if you mean transferring apps to the SD to gain internal space, you can try this:
1.- Open Settings
2.- Go to Applications
3.- Click Manage applications
4.- Select an app, and then click on it
5.- Click Move to the SD card
6.- Wait...
7.- Done, the app will now be lighter.

If you want to install apps on the SD card by default, then:
1.- Download this
2.- Open the app and type
Code:
su
3.- A little window will appear requesting root, click accept
4.- Write the following:
Code:
pm setInstallLocation 2
5.- Done!
6.- (optional) You can uninstall the downloaded app before.
I don't know another way, except for A2SD, but the trouble is that I didn't find any guide to install it on our device, and I can't provide you one, since I never used A2SD before, sorry, hope the above answer helps ^^

[Q] Internal/ External Storage cannot be read

Hi all
For days I've been flashing all different kinds of things in hope to get my phone fixed, but I just can't find the answer.
So for those of you most kind enough to help, here's what's going on with my captivate (at&t)
I took it out of my pocket last week and the phone was frozen. Sometimes it happens... a quick pull out of the battery and re-insert fixes it in most cases... but not this time.
After restarting the phone was hanging on boot screen (CyanFox bootscreen).
I restarted... 15 minutes on that bootscreen still. I had no idea what was going on.
So I decided to reflash. It was a big decision, seeing as this ROM has been working absolutely fine for weeks, but I needed to get it working.
Soon after getting it into recovery, CWM was saying that it couldn't mount /sdcard
I tried even flashing using Odin to go back to stock following the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 still not working.
Most of them ended up showing that little android loading bar for a second or two, but then get stuck in a boot loop.
I tried flashing many different kernels, and different recoveries, but everything all pointed towards: Unable to mount /sdcard
But alas, finally I found something that more or less works. I flashed the Initial Kernal for Cognition: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127578
And I finally got back into a working device... or so I thought.
The phone is still unable to access the internal SDCARD. Just says 'unavailable'. I tried putting in an external 2GB sdcard, but that reads as Total Space: 00, and Available Space: 00
The external sdcard I know works, because my wife's samsung mini2 reads it just fine.
Multiple formats and it still can't be read.
I tried plugging in the device into my pc and select mass storage, but although the computer detects that the phone is plugged in (in device manager) the 2 drives for internal and external both remain hidden, and cannot be accessed.
I have absolutely no idea what to do next. I've used Odin and Heimdall, Repartitioned, and followed every stickied guide here, but I still can't find what to do.
I really appreciate any help anyone can give me on this.
Just for the record, ADB works just fine from my PC. I can send the commands to the device, but mounting the sdcard still proves impossible at this stage (no file exists).
Thanks again, I look forward to any advice anyone can spare.

i had the same problem a couple of weeks ago...
you internal sd card is dead...
you can do nothing about it for now...
if you want to confirm open your camera app and see if you can take any pictures...
if no, then follow the things as i say..
this requires you to do a partition of your external SD card and to that it should be formatted, so take the neccessary backups..
1) download this http://www.mediafire.com/download/sbjd049x4m36pb6/I897UCKI2_noBL_BoogsKernel.rar
2) after flashing this stock firmare with cwm, open up the recovery.
3)follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
4)i couldn't get ICS to work..
5)so you can now use kitkat roms only on the captivate as we have the kernel for 4.4 only with swap sd
6)so after you follow the guide and boot into ICS, copy the rom.zip which you want to flash and the neat kernel swap sd, which can be found here http://www.mediafire.com/download/s34o69u39u66x8n/NeatKernel_v1.03-[02-08]-cma-swap-captivate.zip, be sure to thank the developer here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548081
7)so flash the kitkat om which you want to use,and then flash the neat kernel after flashing the rom after that you can flash the gapps and reboot..
if you do everything like i said, your cappy will be up and working again..

Sir, you are a gentleman and a scholar
Although it didn't go exactly as planned step by step, with your instructions I finally managed to get it working on my 2GB external card.
Here was the process I did
1) Downloaded CM11, Gapps, Stock Kernal and the SwapSD kernal you linked
2) Flashed the stock kernal, the phone just went on a rebooting spree.. but after a few attempts I got it into recovery using the 3 finger combo
2) Followed the instructions on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303 to partition the external SD card. (Since I have only a 2GB card, I partitioned 1GB for data, and 0MB for swap)
3) Done the classic wipe sys/ cache/ data
4) (Here is where things changed a bit for me, as I couldn't boot into ICS either. And no other rom would work at this point) I installed the new SwapSD kernal to get a newer version of CWM by mounting USB storage via CWM and copying the files to there.
5) The device rebooted a couple of times during install, but it automatically went straight back into the newer CWM.
6) Installed CM11, let that finished and installed Gapps straight after.
7) Rebooted and the phone is now reading my external sd card as its internal storage, which is fantastic
Although with it's limited storage and broken internal storage, it still needs replacing, but at least I now have a device from which I can still run a few apps on regardless.
So thank you again dude
*edit* just need to figure out why the adb drivers decided to not work anymore.
Sometimes I hate having windows 8...

Rooted but need help with ROM

I rooted with TWRP on my virgin mobile phone. I wanted to get rid of the internal storage crap. I have 4 Gig internal storage it shows 2.8 of that being used in "other" storage. I really want to remove it to free up phone space.
I downloaded titanium backup but after uninstalling apps it reboots and eventually everything pops back in. I've also tried link 2 sd with slightly more success.
I thought if I could just make all new apps download to the sd that should help, but even though the terminal emulator says the sd is the primary storage it's still loading to the phone first.
If I install a new ROM will that get rid of all the other stuff and let me download to the SD?
Also, I haven't been able to get S-off to work yet, will I still be able to put a new ROM in?
I only somewhat know what I'm doing, I could use a lot of direction. Thanks
Oh also, I can't backup in recovery because it says I don't have enough storage space :/

You unfortunately cant get the rest of the 4GB space back. The only amount of space you'll ever be able to get is a little over 1GB which goes down after a rom install... The reason for that is because HTC was stupid and on all the other partitions there's a bunch of unused space... There's about 10 partitions with at least 175MB FREE on all of them. Why HTC did that is beyond me and most other devs.. Now about getting rid of the bloatware crap, if you don't first install another kernel with write protection removed like this one Kernel write protection removed click here then every time you reboot it's all just going to reinstall itself. So in order to stop that you must flash the kernel in TWRP and then go back and remove everything you want to. Just be careful which stuff you remove but if I was you and you really should do this before doing anything, go back into TWRP and create a backup of your current system so if anything ever goes wrong you can simply restore it and be ok...
Edit.. The reason you can't make the backup in TWRP is because it's set to internal space... At the top after you tap INSTALL change it from internal to SD and then tap home and make your backup.

Oh I see. Thanks for the info. I did set to the sd card but still got an error. I'm trying to format my card now to see if that helps. Do I partition it before backing up?
Also do I run the kernel before installing a new ROM? Or if I run the kernel do you think I'm fine to just keep the HTC one I have and be no worse off?
Eventually I'd like to be able to tether my phone but can't think of any other super special features I'd use

Well if you've never used the SD card with the phone and you don't have nothing important on it then yes I'd recommend you format it and TWRP can help with that in the WIPE section.. You can just flash the kernel now and you'll be fine but you'll need the kernel on your SD card so you can select it in TWRP... So first take care of your SD card so it works with the phone before flashing a kernel.. You'd be fine keeping the rom you have..
Edit: You are from the USA correct? Just making sure so I know if your phone is 32 bit and not 64 bit... I'm pretty sure you're 32 bit though since you have TWRP installed.

It was not enough memory error but I got it fixed.
YeYes US.
I got the backup done and have the kernel installed on my sd card. so close! Is it possible to flash without connecting to the pc?
Are there instructions to do it through the emulator maybe?

Yes you don't need a PC to flash a kernel... What version of TWRP did you install? Because if you use the 2.8.7.0 version of TWRP and up, you can flash from right inside of TWRP all you'd have to do is select install and navigate to where the kernel is on the SD but there's a toggle button on the lower right after you tap install to change it from a zip file to an image file and you MUST fist change it to the image setting otherwise it will not "see" the kernel.img that's on the SD... If you don't have this version then open the play store and download Flashify and flash the kernel while the phone is on and then just reboot after flashing it but be warned Flashify only lets you flash 3 times a day unless you buy the pro version but since you only need to flash one thing "kernel", you'll be ok to use it if you need to and you also have to give it root permission before you can flash.

Yea turns out my twrp version didn't have the option. Well I think I got it done with falshify, the kernel version matches although the baseband version numbers differ
Hopefully I'm all set now!

The Baseband numbers are fine, they're not supposed to match.. As long as you can see that the kernel was flashed by going into settings and about phone there's info in there that will show you if the kernel was installed and another way to test to see if it worked is to uninstall or delete a few apps that are bloatware and then reboot the phone and if they don't reinstall themselves then yep you're good to go! I'm rather surprised that a woman is doing what you are because most guys are freaking clueless and want someone to hold their hand through every single step haha..

Lol well my husband tried to root it and couldn't figure it out so I had to do it
I screwed something up just now though. The apps like Facebook and chrome still won't move completely to the SD card. The partition looks good but they're still locked to internal memory even with the kernel.
I'm also running busy box so I'm not sure what's wrong.
And now I keep getting a pop-up that android.process.media isn't working :/ I'm about ready to give up I was able to download a few more apps but then something went wrong and now the play store gives a error message about usb storage... I'll probably have to run my recovery. No idea what I did wrong.

Just go into TWRP and tap wipe and then wipe just the Cache and Dalvic cache... Some apps you cannot move because they really need to be on the internal storage to gain access to certain files. Go into settings and tap storage then scroll all the way down in there should be an option to install to the SD card make sure all the boxes are ticked. If the WIPE doesn't stop your problem then you'll need to restore but be a little more careful next time.. Try moving a few things at a time and reboot then wait a few minutes to make sure it doesn't throw any errors like that and if it does, at least you'll only have a small amount of apps to move back and go through to find out which one did it lol..

Yeah, I don't know what happened. I had link2sd and apps2sd and changed some settings. Next thing I know, bam, not working.
But I wiped and it is good so long as the SD card is not mounted. If I mount the SD card it throws the android error again. SO I am formatting the card AGAIN. Yaaaaayyyy. I think partitioning it on my phone wasn't the best idea. So I;m connected to a computer now, and figure while I'm here I will update the TWRP version and maybe install a new ROM for the hell of it.

The SD card has to be partitioned a certain way.. To use Link2SD you have to have 2 partitions one MUST be ext4 because that's what your phone uses as a format type.. The other has to be fat32 or similar... They both must also be set as primary.. I used Mini Tool Partition on the PC to format my SD card but you can find another one... If you don't format it correctly it isn't going to work. Also, a new rom is not going to help anything and unfortunately the stock rom is the best one to use for now because the others have problems.

ext4? I was using this tutorial http://www.techinbuzz.com/how-to-partition-sd-card-for-link2sd-using-minitool/ it says for stock ROM to use ext2? That's what I did the first time. But maybe I will try 4 because I have yet to have it work without a hitch.

Use ext4 for the HTC Desire 510... Most people on here trust me. When you tapped wipe in TWRP didn't you see it say formatting with ext4?

Don't worry oyu have my trust I really appreciate all your help today.
I don't remember seeing it but it's possible. I've got it partitioned again with the ext4 this time. I did get 1GB of memory freed up on my phone so that's definitely a plus. If I can move all the apps I download from here on out to the SD card I think I will be able to use my phone quite happily now! :good:
Or I'll be back tomorrow with more problems hahaha either is possible

Lmfao... You should be OK now as long as you've set everything up the right way.. And you're welcome.
You should learn about Xposed and Xposed Modules because it will make things a lot easier and you can theme your phone to look just about any way possible. There's even a module for Xposed called Downloads2SD and works awesome!!
Edit... By the way, you can also use flashify to flash an updated version of TWRP if you want or you can just flash it via the PC like you did already... The updated ones make flashing much easier! Anyways have a great night.

Ugh still problems. Unfortunately android.process.media is the error I keep getting. It is only when I have the SD card mounted. Even after formatting and setting a new partition. It was fine, then once I installed Link2SD and mounted the script the error started again.
I checked in the folders under "Android" "data" there are the .com.etc... files and then one that says nomedia. I wonder if that's what is causing the problem. Not sure if those type of files are available somewhere that I can reload.

I've formatted the card again and put it in fresh but once I try to download an app to it (straight from playstore, not using link2sd) the error came back. So I definitely broke something. Not sure what. I may try with a brand new SD card tomorrow and see if it will fix it but at this point I'm not optimistic since a complete format of the card from my computer didn't fix the problem. :[

Try to have the Xposed and Xposed Modules... First you need to install the wanam Xposed framework and then reboot and start using modules and there's tons of them... Go read how to install Wanam Xposed after you get that installed you tap download inside of the Xposed app and type downdloads2sd because this is much better than anything else because you don't have to format the SD card all you need to do is set where you want your downloads to go and reboot after setting it all up and then you're all done!!

Except now my SD card isn't working regardless so it won't help until I figure that out

Just reformat the entire SD card but first delete the partitions you made and just make the whole card fat32 and try using the Xposed Module to download to the SD card.
