Hello everybody. I'm facing internal SD storage malfunction. When the phone starts the memory is shown, only the system memory is at 0.00b, but after some time all memory becomes unavailable. After the phone starts and I quickly plug the usb I can access the internal SD storage and I can play files from it (the files were put before this happened). I think it is worth mentioning that before this I had error E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 which restricted the phone form booting up. Then I flashed the stock rom (v2.2.1) and speedmod kernel and the phone booted. My phone model is i9000. I would be very grateful for any help you can provide. Thank you for advance.
PS. I have read a lot of articles about this memory problem but I couldn't find any specific solution for i9000.

try a solution for that problem from My Android Solutions
But First powerdown, pull out Battery, SIM CARD, and EXT.SD card, press power
button for a minute, than powerup without SIM and Ext.SD Card....
Tips before Flashing:-
Backup all your important files, contacts, SMS, game data, images etc to PC or
Ext SD card. or make Nanadroid Backup If you have CWM
Backup your EFS Folder to PC or Ext SD card
Enable USB Debugging on Phone. Touch menu>Settings>Applications>Development>
Charge your battery to more than 50% before you attempt any sort of flashing.

Is it possible that I messed up my internal storage because I didn't turned off lagfix when I flashed new custom rom?

yup, that is the main culprit for internal storage not being recognized as your partitions have may have been changed to ext4 and samsung original format is rfs

thanks for help xsenman but the problem still exists. I think the internal memory is dead. But it is strange that I can still view old stuff on it :|
Its not dead -_- you need to go into cwm recovery and format /sdcard. It'll delete all your files but might fix the problem.

you need to format all the partitions back to rfs (vfat or fat32) for samsung phones using firmware, lagfixing would have changed them to ext4.
I have checked the partition type with speedmod kernel and it shows that it is rfs not ext4. so the problem is something else.

If all internal partitions ( meaning system and data ) are rfs, firmwares will not have a problem. unless you had used onenand mode , where the sytem partion will be swapped with the data partition .
anyway the best way to resolve this, is to use the speed mode kernel and have your EXT SD card partitioned into two , to operate the phone like normal till you can resolve the internal sd card problem
after flashing i lost my internal and external storage
my firmware version is 2.3.3 ginger jpjv6
this is not my first time to use this rom it was working and after a while my internal and external storage unavailable

Why are you flashing -obviously - the same very old firmware again and again? There are so much better versions out there than old 2.3.3.
2.3.6 is a big improvement (android battery bug, power consumption, general stability).
Did you do a full wipe? If something is corrupt you have to do this. *2767*3855# resets everything.
i done it but still no internal and external storage

no lagfix and my phone model is i9000
Could you please describe what exactly do you mean with "still no internal and external storage".
What does Task Manager > Memory show?
What does FileManager show? Are there no paths
/mnt/sdcard
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd
anymore?
Did you flash with odin while your external sd-card was still in the phone and it was destroyed this way? Please check the external sd-card with your PC and a card reader.
no internal storage
the only memory on the phone that works is the sd card and i installs the rom on it

seems both sd-cards are not mounted anymore.
If you had reset everything anyhow so there is no configuration worth to be saved I would reflash everything anew (guess you're using odin)
PDA
MODEM/(PHONE)

!including! "Re-Partition", i.e. with PIT file. Be careful to choose the right one, should be a 512 pit in your case.

Sorry, no more ideas.
SGS's flashable rom (8GB) is one big piece of ROM, logically divided by software into several partitions like a PC's harddisk. It is very unlikely that every part is working but only the part with the "sd-card" is corrupt.
Similar to PC there is a bootloader, a partition table and the partitions itselves, each formated with a certain file system (Samsung's rfs by default).
If you're doing an Odin flash with re-partitioning almost everthing with the exception of the bootloader should be rewrittten anew, e.g. partition table and in the ongoing process you could notice Odin messages formatting the partitions anew.
Is there any hint in this Odin log that some partitions could not be formatted anew?
Did you change the filesystem before to some exotic / unknown system?
Are the files you're flashing really working / good ones?
Did you flash the right file into the right "Odin"-folder? (PDA to PDA, MODEM to Phone, ...)?
If you're flashing a working firmware with reformat the partition table should be OK and of course these new and clean partitions should be mounted automatically when booting the phone.
In reality there there is more, e.g. your phones IMEI is stored in one hidden partition. So although this is no solution but it would be interesting to know if your phone still has its IMEI number or MAC-address?
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've used an app which has accidentally attempted to format my storage. I think it died mid way though. Now, in CM File Manager, and when I connect to a PC, sdcard0 is no longer accessible. How might I resolve this?
Perhaps sdcard0 could be revived be following these steps?
Settings -> Storage -> USB Storage -> Erase SD
(assuming "USB Storage" is sdcard0?)
Any help much appreciated.
I am using CM11 nightly (20 Dec build).

USB storage mode will allow you access on all Drives (SD cards) you have, so you can use PC to copy, edit, format etc. You do this direct from Phone settings or via CWM mount USB storage command. Anything to do with SD card read this for guide

"mount USB storage" doesn't seem to do anything. And seperately trying to mount sdcard0 gives an error.
I guess next thing to try is "format sdcard0". But I'm not sure which filesystem to choose: default, vfat, exfat,ntfs,ext4,ext3 or ext2?

Samsung Stock ROM's can only use rfs or fat 32 format, if you have custom kernel, than its possible for other formats , mostly ext 2 or 4.

did you try to uninstalled the app you installed that caused this , cleared its data and cache? Since it says Shared-unmounted, it would be linked to something that you had installed. Also you can try settings menu > Storage to see if you have a mount feature on it,

OK some progress, I've booted back into the phone and sdcard0 is now accessible via File Manager.
Can't seem to get mounted via USB though - usually I just plug in the USB cable and it asks for me for confirmation to connect. I'm still set to UMS, not sure what the problem is now.
And yes, the app was uninstalled long ago. (FWIW the app is GateWay Flash http://gbatemp.net/threads/app-gatewayflash.358753/ which just attempts to write files "raw" onto the SD card (i.e. from sector 0, ignoring any file system).. unlucky for me it was incompatible with my phone and ended up writing to sdcard0 instead of the external sd card)

OK some progress, I've booted back into the phone and sdcard0 is now accessible via File Manager.

you can try another kernel to see
Kitkat 4.4
Semaphore 3.4.0
Mackay kernel 0.603
Cyancore 3.5.0
Stock CM11 kernel + Linaro 4.8 and Mackay TWRP
or reflash the stock kernel to solve the issue

Hmm I've never flashed a kernel before.
I'm reflashing the CM ROM now, does that also overwrite the kernel with the default CM kernel?

yup, that will do it, for flashing kernels just look here about it.

Same issues after reflashing, can't format to ext4 or mount (can't mount sdcard0 or sdcard1). But both are accessible in recovery and CM File Manager.

Easiest way to would be to get back (downgrade) to stock gingerbread ROM, using a PIT file to repartition the partitions, like here . After that upgrade gradually to Kit Kat again. I think, something messed up the system .

Mounting is working again (for both sdcard-0 & sdcard1), after 2 reboots of my PC and trying a different USB port.. think my PC had got confused rather than the phone.

great, at least you finally got it resolved but its odd that, normally, your phone would indicate its mounted or mounting and PC would indicate unknown device . I have to add this somewhere here

My Internal Storage is unmounted

USB storage mode will allow you access on all Drives (SD cards) you have, so you can use PC to copy, edit, format etc. You do this direct from Phone settings or via CWM mount USB storage command. Anything to do with SD card read this for guide

I have the same problem i tried from recovery to mount USB storage but when I select that option the following code appears:
Code:
/storage/sdcard0: Shared-Unmounted
Hey guys,
i have a eMMC bricked i9000 of a friend and asking you for a recovery for bricked phones like in this i9001 thread.
I hope there are some devs who can help to build a patched recovery , that use new partitions from external_sd in recovery fstab.
So you can install system on external SD ext4 partition without internal storage.
I hope you can help!
Thanks a lot.
Nothing?
Should i give up this phone?

just explore this guide and links on how other solved it, and install a i9000 speedMod kernel and two or three partitioned external SD card with a custom ROM for your phone to function
