Hey,
Been trying to reset the tab to factory defaults the tab does his mojo untill it reboots into android 2.3.6 and then everything is still on the internal SD card.
Then i went to hook it up on the pc tried manually deleting everything on the internal SD pc say's its done i look in the tab and its all still there.
Tried copy'ing files over to the SD card but does not wanne stay on it.
Ok now then i went on booting odin up and rooted it + cwm recovery on it it does it like a charm and works can boot into the recovery.
Now since i cant hold any roms on the internal sd card i went on using an external sd card put on cm 10.2 and gapps,
Installed the rom then reboots into a newer version of cwm and it tells me its not rooted.
ok fine i restarted the tab and went back into recovery then it was rooted.
Went on to install the cm 10.2 and gapps now its hanging at the cm logo on boot
So i went on to flash dbdata.rfs.tar wich normally gets me passed a bootloop.
This time however it dident work.
Anybody has any ideas i can still try to get it to work ?
I think its more of a lock on the internal SD card since it can't hold any files nor delete's anything but im not sure hopefully some1 with some more experience then me can help me further on this problem
Thx
Not locked. The internal SD chip is failing.
You will see many post that has symptoms such as: previous owner info cannot be removed. New data cannot be saved. Wiping failed.
My mind was vaguely thinking that but still hoping it wasent

Ive got a big problem, recently my old SD card **** out so i replaced it with a brand new one with nothing on it. Upon first boot nothing was loaded because obviously APP2SD puts everything on the SDCard, however not even market was loaded on the phone itself so it was impossible to even download anything
Now the big issue!!
In my stupidness i thought i would just wipe and reflash a new CM with the new SD card and see if that fixed everything.. However i wiped and then i realized i didnt have a new ROM on my SD card to flash back too!! so now when my phone boots it just boots to a black screen and nothing appears because there is no rom to run... my phone itself is wiped data/cache and my SD card is completely clean due to it being a brand new one
How can i get my phone working again? right now it is INOP as i dont have any rom on it whatsoever and it wont even boot, i dont have a microSD adaptor to put it on my computer with and load a rom on it
is there some failsafe way to get it back to stock firmware incase something like this happens?
This should be in the Q&A section.
But,
What recovery do you have?
[edit]
oh right, drop into terminal Alt+x, type ums_enable and connect your phone through usb and copy over the rom and Amon Ra's latest recovery.

You could try posting in the right section.... or you could go to recovery, drop to console and type ums_enable- then connect your phone and move a rom over

Go buy an sd reader. Or if you have aman ras recovery you can set it to go to usb fro the recovery menu.
first - wrong section
second, if you have a custom recovery - go to the shell and type
ums_enable with usb plugged in
inop
You need a card reader and the ra dream recovery and you would of fixed it
Wow all of you said the same thing?
And repeated it
Even ^ copied the rest of you by saying got rec mode.
ur first card prooly didnt go bad, u prolly didnt flash the ext-fix from cm..correct? thats what happened to me and i then realized my sd was fine, i was also stuck at the g1 screen b4 i flashed the fix. also from what i read all u did was wipe so ur rom is still there, see if u can grab the old card and getter dun. and stop being a jackass and post this where it goes!!
Post in the correct section, next time, please.
Moved.
Long story short:
I was running this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926116
and decided to reflash it. After flashing Firerat's Recovery another time (from the same file on the SD card that I have used many times before,) I rebooted into ClockWorkMod recovery and went to flash zip. from sd card but it could not find the sd card and then crashed. I then went into the rom that already existed, it could not read the sd card either. Not knowing what to do, I then went and followed the instructions for "if you found yourself stuck without recovery:" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=831139 here. From there I did a hard reset and now the phone is running Android 1.1, but the Sd card slot still doesn't work.
(Kind of unrelated, when I just got the phone the camera would not work, and would Force Close whenever I tried it. Same thing on any Rom I tried on the G1. After the hard reset however, it started working.)
Anybody know what to do?
Hi Everybody,
First of all - please accept my apologies if this question has been asked before. I have searched the forum and I wasn't able to solve my problem in any way described (that I could find that is).
Second, and I know this sound stupid, but I honestly do not know what I did wrong and where I ****ed up. I have rooted my stock NC and it worked fine. I have also played around a lot with the Froyo from SD - and that too worked fine. Today I decided to give the CyanogenMod version on the built-in flash and that too went OK and it was running perfectly. At some point I accidently managed to boot it half-way up on a flash card and now the NC is half dead.
The NC still boot fine on the Froyo sd card and on the recovery flash I used to install the CyanogenMod, but without a flash card inserted, the NC is completely dead. I can press and hold the on/off button as much as I like, I can hold the nook button while doing on/off - nothing - and I do mean nothing happens.
I have tried the the flash stock-1.0.1-CRW.2.zip recovery that install a new /boot and it installs fine - but still - the moment I remove the SD card, the NC is dead again.
Any ideas? I feel I have tried pretty much everything.
Solved!
Managed to solve that one myself. The trick was to use the second image not the first one:

You said you booted it up on a flash card? CM7 is not meant to be bootable on flash card.
No, after playing around with an installed CM7 it got to a point where all of a sudden it was completely dead without a flash card (not even a small flash on the screen when powering on/off) but with my Froyo 2.2 card inserted it booted just fine.
As it turned out I think I know what happened (basically because I just did it again). I used the CM7 "Format Flash" to prepare a clean flash card for storage - but when I do that it screws up the internal system (probably the /boot partition).
Anyway - the recovery flash that uses dd to copy the entire partition worked just fine.
I was in the process of recovering my Captivate - that I had upgraded to Gingerbread - from a corrupted OS. I was able to factory reset back and get the phone running again. While on this forum and getting help resolving that issue, I thought I would see how stable the new 4.2's were. I was walking through the steps of the update and I had just finished flashing CWM with Odin and then it all fell apart.
<<< Noob alert>>> When reading the posts and the walk-throughs, I always read SD Card as the mini-SD card that you add to the phone - the external card. Therefore I put the new custom rom on the external SD.
I wiped the data and went to apply the new rom from zip, and (of course) I couldn't find it. After several tries, I realized my problem. However, my Captivate will not mount my external SD. It is the same one that was in the phone and has been working. I formatted it and checked it for errors - none - but the phone will not mount it. I cannot get access back to the internal SD memory to put the ROMs there - when I turn on the phone is gets to a black screen that says "Galaxy S sgh-1897" and sits there - and my computer does not recognize the phone when I plug it in to the USB.
What can I do? Do you have any ideas?

Here's a good start to get your pc to recognize your phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1953930
From there, flash Odin KK4 without bootloaders in download mode to get your phone back up. I believe to know the steps to flashing a custom ROM
GL!
got it going
Thanks, it's up and running, but I went back to speedmod and tried to update from SD - and it worked, but didn't like the ROM. I'm trying a different ROM to see what the issue is.
Thanks for the help.

You'll have to flash the ROM twice to get past the partition on JB coming from GB.

I rooted my Note 3, and was fiddling with some stuff (xposed, viper, selinux mode changer, if that means anything selinux didn't work, but I got viper working). I turned it off, took out the battery, SD card and simcard to let it cool off a bit. When I put everything back in, I realized I didn't unmount the SD card. Now my phone doesn't recognize any SD cards at all. Checked with 2 others (all sandisk 64 gb) on my mac and my mac could read them all. Phone didn't even start back up. Just got to the Samsung GALAXY Note 3 sign and bootlooped. Couldn't even get into recovery mode. I then took out the battery and sd card, put in only battery. Phone starts up like a charm. Put in the SD card, try to mount it, doesn't recognize. Phone immediately turns off and goes into bootloop again. Oh, btw, 'Mount SD Card' is greyed out this whole time, regardless of whether SD card is in or not.
Today, I flashed NC2 via odin, still the same problem. Updated via ota to OC1, same problem. oc2, same problem. wiped everything, cache, in between each update. Now I am considering using Flashfire to wipe everything it can and then flash a OC1 ROM. Not sure what is going wrong. How can I wipe everything and install from scratch other than what I've already done?
Do you guys have any idea how to solve this? What should I do? I am still a noob in rooting (other than odin, flashfire), recoveries and don't really know how they work (ie, twrp or cwm). Thanks in advance for your help.
