okay I just got my friends galaxy s i9000
he managed to unmount the internal sd card using odin apparently
I own a htc sensation Im just handy apparently
I need to know how I can possibly remount the internal sd card for him (apparently the rom is fine and stuff)
I enter recovery via the 3 button fix and I can also do download mode and I have drivers installed with odin on my computer
I go to backup and restore and click restore and it says unable to mount /sdcard file or directory doesnt exist
if I go to update via update.zip or anything it says unable to mount /sdcard file or directory doesnt exis
also when I try and mount the sd card it says error unable to mount sdcard
when I try and start the phone it just cycles the samsung I9000 logo
help me please!
Friend there is an option in the recovery (i guess) to mount/unmount the SD card
try that and report back
hello I have just dusted this phone off and plan and flashing it completely to get it workling. if someone could point me in the right direction thatd be great.
the i9000 won't be detected by kies during download mode. I need to figuretl that out as well as get stock everything I'd guess to get this working again just need help thanks

Dear XDA developers, please help me what to do, after downgrading to 2.2.2 my DS7 has an error with internal memory it doesn't writable. When I switch on it there is error on the top of screen "Blank SD card" I try to format it, but it doesn't format. This problem doesn't give me chance to install other ROMs or downgrade from update.pkg. I don't know what to do, please help me.
Go into settings and try to mount the sdcard when it shows sdcard blank pull down the status bar then click the on that says sdcard blank it will say format sdcard click OK then wait say to min then go back into settings and remounts the sdcard

NVFlash Group again. If you still can't write that means you have gotten stuck in Read Only mode for which there is no fix other than sending it back to Dell
^ Can you brief me a little more about this? Thank you.

hi guys, i had same problem, but then i set this sandisk ultra to my nokia xpress music and there was everything,,, my arc s cant open it anymore but nokia opens... try to reset your sd s to others phone...
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_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.

E:failed to mount /sdcard (No such file or directory)

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:

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.

so i woke up this am and the phone was dead. dark screen but the bottom row keys lit up.
the phone is a original galaxy s captivate on att. i was running stock gingerbread with a root for at least a year or so. i have put custom roms on in the past but went back to stock using Kies
I've tried a couple of things that have worked for me in the past but no luck. here is what I've already tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-3-gingerbread-firmware-on-samsung-captivate/
Odin doesn't return any errors just won't boot, only DL mode or recovery. i can use the volume and plug in to get to download mode and the three button combo to get to recovery console but i keep getting the same error msg. i've tried to 'wipe data/factory reset' and 'wipe cache partition'
see attached image (used a friends phone)
is this recoverable?
I'm not familiar with either method you tried but since you can get into download mode I would suggest the following. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843 go to the third post and download the kk4 one-click without boot loaders. Run that then boot back into download mode. Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1294477 and download the corn kernel .tar file. Use Odin to flash it to your phone if you want root or to flash custom ROMs.
If you just want a working phone with gingerbread then the first link should get you set up. And to answer your question in the title yes the internal memory can get corrupt.

Was this the Odin one-click or was it the kernel?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda app-developers app
that was Odin one click. i didn't even try the second one.
OK well try using Odin to flash the kernel I listed above. That should give you a custom recovery which will allow you the option of mounting and also formatting the SD card. Try mounting it to your PC first so you can backup anything you want.

ok, i got it. put it in the PDA slot and i'm running the custom kernel. but it still gives me an error when i try to mount the sdcard, just says 'error mounding /sdcard!'
if i try to mount 'data' the screen goes blank.

Formatting anything will of course cause you to loose any data on the internal SD. I'm sure you know that I just want to be clear before you do what I'm suggesting.
Ok if you have an external SD card in the phone remove it now. Then in recovery go to Mounts and Storage. In there format sdcard and emmc. Then back out of that screen and select advanced and then reboot recovery. Then try mounting your sd card again or there should be a mount usb storage option which will allow you to mount it to your pc(if its working).
i totally understand. i keep backups of everything and i havent had the ext-sd or sim in this whole time.
in recovery i dont' see emmc, and when i try to format sdcard, the msg at the bottom is
'using format_unknown-device... '
'Error mounting /sdcard!'
'Skipping format...'
'done.'

Any luck there?
Had similar issue long back, could not revive internal SD, I partitioned my external SD card (3 partitions, i forgot how), then loaded AOCP 5+ , it installed on to external sd which was considered internal by OS. It worked fine, but you can't swap out any other SD card easily as OS is in your external card.
Don't remember many details..
This from a real noob, but I thought I would solict some additional input if there is some trick I have missed on my problem.
Since installing CM 10 on my Vivid, everything has worked well except the fact my internal SD has gone away. Based on stuff I have read here I have tried the following:
1. Factory Reset - no help
2. Mount drive using installed recovery, CWM - No Help
3. Install TWRP recover and try that, no help
4, Try various apps from Play Store, No Help
At this point it seems best to me to return the phone to factory state and see if the internal card is there, if it is, unlock the boat loader, install TWRP recover, then flash the rom, then boot imate (s on) and hope it works.
Any app that requires root and access to all the drives errors out.
A large group thanks to all of you who post so much info on the phone, and how to do things.
I assume you've tried mounting Internal SD in the Settings/Storage menu?

Thanks for reminding me about this, but yes, I have tried it numerous times but it doesn't work. A bit frustrating since it keeps me from storing certain stuff or using some rooted apps. Unless I find some other way, I will give the restore option a try in a few days when I get home.
Appreciate the reply.

My guess... Is you did a reset from fastboot...
If that is the case... I recommend getting twrp... Installing that... Mounting both storages in recovery... Then hook to your windows PC... And let windows format your internal SD...
After a reboot... Your phone will either mount your internal... Or offer to format it again... At which point it will work...
Unless we are talking about apps2sd in CM11...

I replaced CWM recover with TWRP and it would not allow me to mount the internal card, but the phone booted up OK, just no internal card. So I tried another factory reset and while in TWRP I noticed I was also getting a "can't mount /emmc/" message. Phone still boots up ok and works except for apps requiring access to the internal card.
I ran across some reference to a recovery called aroma something that is supposed to help with this problem, but am not sure it will work with my phone, still researching that.
So maybe this is pretty good evidence I did screw up and reset from fastboot?
I figure I am going to have to restore the phone to factory status, and start over, but I will wait to see if there any other suggestions.
Thanks again for the feedback.

You were close...
Don't mount internal for twrp...
Mount as USB mass storage in the same menu...
Then connect to windows...
