[Q] How to access sd card through recovery - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can you please help me on this one? Yesterday i updated my nightly cm11 to the newest version. I didn't backup any of my data. It booted normally and i tried to restore my old Android-ID via Titanium, but suddenly my phone restarted and after retrying to restore the ID again, it didn't work and it said, it couldn't find any old ID in the setting storage. I remembered that i have some older Titanium Backups on my laptop and after it failed again with the new added backups, i tried to restore the whole setting storage in apps list in Titanium. At first, it didn't showed any effect so i tried to reboot it and now i'm stucked on a loop. I can't flash the rom, because i deleted the rom from my sd card to get more storage.
TL; DR: How can you get access on your sd by using recovery? If i plug my phone via usb, it shows me my 2 sd cards, but i can't open them. (when i mount usb storage, the 2 sd cards on my laptop just disappear)

You might have to try on another pc/laptop. You should be able to access them in recovery if you mount storage (sd).

Have you tried clean flashing? If it doesn't work, you'll most likely have to flash stock kk4 without bootloaders and start fresh from there.

Since it was getting worse and worse (i tried to apply an old cm10 backup via cm), i wasn't even able to get into recovery mode. I flashed stock kk4 with odin but now it won't let me get to usb storage: Seconds after i plug my phonevia usb just to load or to load sth on my sd card, my phone shuts down and the green loading bar appears until a new reboot starts into the green bar etc...
Is this a common bug? I searched in the forums, but couldn't find this kind of.

I guess i have some weird mount/unmount problems since i even wasn't able to get into mass storage via recovery beforehand when i had the bootloop. And the strange thing now is, that odin didn't formatted my sd card (i still got my music and stuff)

Odin doesn't format your sd card anymore.
I'm not so sure about the bug you're having. Feels like your internal might be dead but that would mean no recovery too. Do you have a external sd in?

Yes, i tried different battery charger, but it keeps on rebooting. :/ Coming from KK4 do i have to root the phone again or can i go ahead and flash a rom? (rom manager telling me it couldn't find superuser/device not rooted ) Maybe a new rom will help?

I doubt it will make a difference but you'll have to flash corn kernel using Odin. From there, follow the full rom instructions. there's also a flashing guide in the stickies.

Flashing corn kernel 7.05 made me stuck at the corn logo screen, couldn't even get into cwm. Now i got back to kk4 with odin. Should i give it another shot or should i try superoneclick?

You don't have to use superoneclick.
I'd suggest you try speedmod kernel then and boot directly in recovery.

I was able to get into recovery with speedmod kernel, but a normal boot wasn't possible, just stucked at the galaxy s screen. After root and a full wipe, i couldn't flash a rom (cm11) due getting status 0 error.

Ok i flashed cm9 and this one is completely fine. No more usb issues also. I flashed cm11 and it seems fine. I hope it will stay that way. Thank you very much for caring.
I have one more question. One thing that is very frustrating is to lose all your customized data and settings with flashing. Since messing around with titanium lead me to this problem i want to know what's your favorite backup tool? Will a normal backup via recovery save ur apps and settings?

You can restore your apps data with titanium, just don't restore system apps.

Stock firmware problem after Cyanogenmod

A friend of mine suggested that I try Cyanogenmod, so I decided to flash my Galaxy Mini. The first problem was the bootloop, and no matter how many times I wiped the phone, it was always stuck at the Android text. So I decided to try the Honeycomb mod. Same happened. So I decided to flash it with Android 2.3.6 from sammobile.com. At last, it started working. However, Google Play still sees every application as "installed" (but of course they aren't), and when I try to delete from GP, nothing happens. After trying to install other applications, I realized that I cannot install anything from the market. Any idea how I could solve this problem? I would be very grateful.

Yes I did. I used CWM 5.0.2.6. The funny part is that after being turned off 3 times, Google Play started working But if there's a solution to the bootloop problem I would love to hear it. I searched this forum and the internet and nothing, even though I followed a cyanogenmod wiki's guide.
did you wipe two times before and after flashing cyanogenmod rom
How old is your sd card? because same happened to me. I needed to format my sd card.

No, I didn't see the sign, and to be honest, I didn't even know that there was a 5.0.2.8 version. Do you think it would work with that?

So I downloaded the new recovery, flashed it via Odin, and now nothing works. When I enter recovery it says that it can't mount /cache/log and /cache/recovery (I think it says these two). I looked around and found that it could be stuck in a bootloop, but luckily Android loads. However, I can't root my phone due to several errors, so I can't install Cyanogen mod. I think I'll give up now But thanks for all the help!

This happens because you are in stock ROM, this errors are normal.If you want ONLY to root your phone you should use stock recovery. Otherwise you can proceed.

Thanks very much Here is what I did step by step:
I returned to the stock recovery by installing the stock firmware. I rooted the phone with stock recovery. Then I installed CWM recovery 5.2.0.8, but I still get the same error in CWM: it can't mount a few things. I still tried installing Cyanogen without wiping, and of course it's stuck at the boot screen with the Android text (I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if the recovery is not fully operational, so I did not want to lose every contact for nothing again). I read that this problem can be solved by formatting the SDCard, so I tried formatting it with PC and the phone also, but nothing. So now I'm back to the stock firmware and recovery with my phone rooted and no idea how to solve any of the problems.

Flasging CyanogenMod without wipes? Seriously? Thats exactly why it never worked!! CWM cant mount somethings because you were in stock ROM
Use some backup program to backup contacts, apps, whatever and flash cyanogenmod wiping data and cache before and after.

This was just a trial run due to the new CWM recovery. If you read back, I already wrote that I tried wiping both data and cache before and after flashing Cyanogen mod. This "mounting" problem only came up with the new CWM recovery, 5.2.0.8.
The basic Google Apps were all there, since I used a rom from sammobile.com, downloaded programs like poweramp were the ones that did not work.

And you tried wipes using 5.2.0.8 version? The mounting problem happened with me only in this recovery too, maybe because it is updated, different or whatever but I flashed and everything was good. Anyway, stay with stock, it seems better for you.

[Q] bootloop, unrooted stock phone, how do I recover?

Ok first off, I am pretty green newbie, please help me understand this stuff.
This is my girlfriend's phone, she was using it and it reset itself and now it seems to be stuck in a boot loop.
We'd like to try and recover the original system back to normal without having to use the built in system reset. I've heard I can do that by wiping the dalvk cache?
It is not rooted, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out. There's ways to root it but I can't get into the system to run things like zergrush or the other options.
I tried to flash clockwork mod, but since the built in recovery tool only sees the INTERNAL SD contents, I only have access to the EXTERNAL SD card to put ZIPs in. I tried to use ADB to push the zip onto the internal SD Card but it says access denied (because it's unrooted?) Now what?
So short of system resetting it and loosing all the system settings or trying to see if we can send it into samsung for a replacement, how do I do this?
Thank you for any help in advance. Please be gentle.
Put cwm on the phone via Odin, on a question asked yesterday almost exact problem I posted a link with instructions how to do this, MAKE SURE it is a t679 not t759! Otherwise you will brick your device
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
Unrooted, your only real options are factory reset or use Odin.
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
That is not true, if he gets cwm on it via Odin he can flash to stock through cwm, doing so would bring the phone back to out of the box condition with 2.3.6. Also it will save ALOT of time doing cwm through Odin rather than return to stock via odin
Sent from my SGH-T679 using xda app-developers app
It is a T679, yes.
OK according to the wiki page for the phone, I see how to use Odin to bring the phone back to stock, which is great, but I just want to be able to root it to wipe the dalvik cache in hopes of stopping the boot loop. Hopefully this would get the phone working like normal again without deleting the old system, right?
With the Odin program, how would I use it to force the CWM.zip to root it and give me access to the recovery menu to wipe the cache? Or am I missing something?
Again, sorry for not quite getting this stuff. Thank you for helping.

My bad, I forgot there was a cwm for Odin on this phone. I got mine after the 2.3.6 update and you could flash it thru stock recovery. Plus I've only used Odin once and that was to root my Gtab 2.
Sent from my GT-P3113 using xda app-developers app
OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.
The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.
I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.
now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.
Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?
Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3

If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.
P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.
Sorry bro if it is sticking on the Samsung logo, your phone does not have a rom

[Q] UIDS Inconsistent + Safestrap Issues

Hey, guys, I seem to have a predicament with my Verizon Bionic. I'm using Safestrap 3.11 to run AOKP 4.2.2 Milestone 1.
Now, my problem: these last couple days I have started to receive the "UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable." error. I constantly start getting messages telling me apps have stopped, and any changes I make to files or settings seem to be applied but on reboot everything is the same as it's been.
I tried deleting the ROM slot (I have AOKP loaded in rom-slot2) but even after I choose to load my stock ROM my phone boots into AOKP, meaning I can't boot into the stock ROM. I tried fixing permissions, and that doesn't work. I have tried to flash the latest AOKP nightly but whenever I place the zip on my phone's internal storage it disappears when I reboot as my phone reverts to how the filesystem was before. I haven't put an external SD Card in my phone yet.
I have tried factory resetting my phone through Safestrap, AOKP, and stock Android recovery to find there's no change.
Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: I tried using RSD Lite 5.7 to flash 98.72.22 FXZ JB but to no avail. Is there a way to manually wipe my data partition, perhaps via a Linux distro?
fxz to 4.1 and try again?

I think this was the same thing I saw on Titanium Backup Pro when I changed ROM slots (from Icarus to CM10.1.2) It says my device ID has changed, and offered to reset it for me back to the old number. I let it do it, and I haven't had any problems.
I think flashing a new ROM generates a new device ID, and this breaks all the secure storage encryption keys among other problems, which is why it's best to leave it alone or flash it back.

Well the main problem seems to be that I cannot change anything in the filesystem without it being reverted on restart. I haven't had an offer to reset it, and I cannot reflash, as there's no way to put a ROM zip on the phone without it disappearing when i reboot into safestrap. Even deleting the ROM slot does nothing.
Have you tried fixing permissions for the ROM?

just some suggestions:
i have done like 9 bionics with safestrap 3.x and only had problems iwth two, those problems went away after removing recovery and deleting the safestrap directory in internal memory from a PC, I had 0 memory available that was the problem , it all fixed after FORMATING "sdcard" (internal storage" from storage menu)
have you tried using an sdcard for storing the new rom instead of using internal memory?
try installing the newest safestrap (just overwrite if it wont let you remove the one you have).

I haven't tried using an sdcard, I'm going to try that next.
I can't boot into stock to remove safestrap. If I could, that would probably solve my problem.
Anything I modify using a PC just reverts when I reboot my phone.

i never tried but maybe you can remove safestrap recovery from a non stock slot, dunno what would happen but if i was in your case i would try.
Also try removing the safestrap directory from your pc (i know you said everything was back to same after reboot but didnt get clear if you tried removing the safestrap dir).
Probably the cleanest solution HERE

All fine until now
3: then I flashed the kernel from the same site through cwm
4: bootloop
I didnt take backup, so I couldnt nandroid back
I couldnt turn the device on, so I couldnt transfer another kernel
There were no "mount USB" in cwm so I couldnt transfer the files there either.
I was able to go into download mode, and I flashed the only stock rom I could find in .tar (flashable through odin)

flashing went fine and the tab booted.
Now I went back and flashed cwm again through odin, but when I was going to place superuser and the new rom on the sdcard.... there is no room on the tab.
In explorer it says : 0 byte available out of 26.9MB
This tab is 16GB.... what happened?

Hmmm, this is usually a sdcard mount thing
so maybe all you have to do is reboot to CWM do a format /sdcard from mount and unmount section in CWM
then reboot to system and see if the problem still there

Hi
There is no such thing as format/sdcard in that section.
Only format/cache, format/data and format/system

this probably means that your CWM version is old [5.5.0.4 I guess]
I don't know if your tab has a newer CWM cuz my tab is p7300,
so try to find a newer one or even try TWRP instead, cuz it also has sdcard format function
one little thing, you said your tab is P7320 and yet you have installed a SGH-I957 ROM {read it from your link}
I honestly don't know the deference between the two devices
what I'm trying to say is: maybe the problem is because you're using a ROM for a different device
so maybe you should try THIS [the latest ICS Odin tar samsung framework for P7320]
I have a p7320 and I am using this ROM.

Fast, no bloatware, no freezing.
I followed the instructions no problems. My recovery UI has an option partition SD card under advanced. Dont know if that will help you.

Hi
I was able to download another .tar full stock rom which I flashed with odin.
Worked out fine, and the memory of the SD card is back.
However... I once again flashed cwm and superuser, then i tried the rom you are linking to but the tab wont boot with it
Its just stuck with a black screen after the logo.
Now I have reflashed the stock rom with working sd card
Sorry about that. I remember I had a black screen for a few minutes but eventually it booted. The developer also pointed out boot animations are missing

Hi,
I'm the developer working on the CM10 ROM for the P7320 - yes, the first boot might take a while, and it doesn't show a boot animation, so it might look like it's crashed. But I have tested going from the stock ICS image to my ROM a few times and it seems to work fine, eventually. Perhaps you could give it another go and see?
Cheers.

Hi
I will definetely give it another go this evening
Can i flash superuser, your rom and gapps in one go? Or do I have to boot it in between?
thank you for your answer
The ROM should have super user already, so you shouldn't need that. You can do the ROM and gapps together.
I tried again, and this time it worked like a charm!
Thank you!

What am I doing wrong. My device starts to cyanogenmod boot animation but not further.
Do I have to do the dalvik wipe and cache wipe?
I think i have tried everything. It's been rolling boot animation about 30 minutes now.
Sorry about my bad language.
And thank you for your answers.
I dont have a solution. Is this the first time you use this ROM? One time I wanted to revert to stock to check something and I got an everlasting Samsung animation until I did a factory reset from recovery. Did you try factory reset?

Question regarding TWRP and Clockwork Mod recovery

Hey all.
So, i have a rooted z1 (rooted via towelroot), I installed Dual Recovery (using "Z1-lockeddualrecovery2.7.154-BETA" file), unlocked the bootloader, (backed my Rom using CWM) and have installed a Custom Rom (Paranoid Android).
The Rom is awesome, but I have tried to load my previous Stock Rom back - so that i know the process just in case.
CWM isn't able to mount my memory card. From what i can see this is a very common problem and there are lots of device specific variations of CWM to install that get around this, however they all come with heavy warnings about how they are made for Device A and should not be used on Device Z.
Some users have suggested that TWRP should be able to see the back up file and install from there, however, I cannot boot into TWRP. I've gone through NDRUtils and have tried the different button combinations at start up, all of it takes me to CWM only. I've looked back about Dual recovery and it says that i should have used the Dual Recovery file after flashing my Rom, which i did not do as i was to excited to get PA on my phone.
I'm probably doing something daft, but if someone has any similar experience I'd be grateful for the knowledge.
Can't you just flash the dual recovery again then put into twrp using power + vol down?

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried that and it still just boots to cwm. I've tried pressing the vol down once,and I've tried hammering it repeatedly when turning on as well.
You do know you can't restore a cwm backup via twrp? They are not compatible
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, I figured that was the case,but at the moment I can't use the back up on cwm anyway as it doesn't Mount the SD card. I tried moving the back up on to the internal memory, no luck .

Try using a third party sd card mounter, or take the sd card out and put it into a sd card reader, then copy the backup to your PC then move it to your phones internal storage :clockworckmod/backups and restore it from there.
I'm not really able to help anymore, my phone has just died an hour ago and will be sent away tomorrow :crying:
