What rom did you use previously? Did you muck around with CWM or run any scripts that could cause this?
DNA_GB . and i didnt try to flash nothing more.
everything works fine and then one day i start to have a lot of FC!
so i have a titanium backup and i tried to format data and i get an error!
it can be a virus?
because no matter what i do when i reboot the device stay with no change!
now i notice that my data folder is empty in root explorer

Said that in previous posts. It looks like a partition table damage or a rom/eprom damage. No virus can damage your device like that without giving him a SU permisions. Internal fault when addressing the memory or keeping the phone near a strong magnetic field
i have a nandroid backup...maybe it will halp me..
can somebody know how can i flash the data.img?

have you made any backup before formatting your system?
If you have made a Nandroid Backup, then its easy to recover the ROM. But if you haven't made, then Mount USB storage in CWM recovery, and connect your phone to computer via USB cable. Then transfer the ROM zip file to SD card. And then you are able to flash the ROM. Be sure to wipe data/cache/dalvik-cache/battery stats.

You were using a Custom ROM before aren't you? If yes, then probably you should know which ROM you used before.
Anyways you can search in the device-specific forum over here :

Interestingly enough, I was working on the stock ROM that the phone was on.It's a new device I was using.And I just got introduced to the ClockWorkMod thingy, which was just a zip file that I chose thru the Reboot Recovery Screen. I was just mucking around with the options on the CWM, when I unwittingly chose to Format System (No goddamn idea why !!!! )
But I will search for a suitable ROM. Will revert back in case of any issues....THNX !!!

[RECOVERY][STABLE] Patched CWM 6.0.3.2 For Bricked eMMCs + Touch

About
This is the patched version of my CWM 6.0.3.2 to run on Bricked Data Partition Devices . It recognize the ext4 partition mmcblk1p2 on external as data partiton so wipe data and mount data are now fully functional without any errors . I used the similar partition table on CM10 Patch by ivendor so If you have done the preparation ( making a 1.5 GB mmcblk1p2 on external sd as ext4 ) you only need to install recovery and if not you must create the partition on external sd . This version is really stable and perfect for daily usage .
Disclaimer
I 'm not responsible for any damage or ... that ariesed from using this recovery ! Do at your own risk . Do not install non-damaged eMMCs !
How to install with Terminal Emulator
1- Move the downloaded *.img file to /sdcard
2- Rename it to " recovery.img " ( all are lower case )
3- Type this commands in terminal :
Code:
su -c dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13
4- Done !
How to install with Recovery mode

This is great stuff. Nice job man. I was really annoyed because i had to put my sdcard onto reader and then wipe with partition manager every time I wanted to reinstall the ROM
If anyone test this, post here.
I have only one minor advice, I think you should make .zip , .tar and just put links- For Odin: <link> , For flashing .zip: <link> because more thngs people have to do, more room for mistakes, it is easier for you to do it once.
Anyway great job.

Thanks ... I hope it solve your problems
I used internet cafe to upload the *.IMG file and ATM I have no good internet connection to re upload ... There are 2 chooses :
1- You should wait til I get a good net and upload zip version
2- You should do the steps and make zip ( choose base zip from my cwm 6.0.3.0 non bricked devices version ) and tar file then upload them ... I put in first post with full credits
there are few risk of bricked or ... if you do currectly risk is 0%
also I thing recovery should work fine because I got a really few errors so I must be really stable ! as stable as my previous cwm 6.0.3.0.

I can patch all custom kernels and ROMs to support eMMC bricked devices but I need some time because I am on exams
I didn't understand fully how this works? Do I need external card or this can be done with sdcard?
Is this mean that ROM needs to be installed on external card? What about internal memory? Can this be fixed, or it is lost forever?

hope you understand it:
Some users have already broken eMMC.
The problem is the data partition.
to get the roms working, one idea is to make a new data partition on the ext. sd. To be usable the roms need to be patched(the patch says to the rom / kernel that it has to look on ext. sd partition 2 for the data partition.
The next problem would be that a 'wipe data' in recovery or a flash would do something on the bricked data part. in internal sd. that wouldn't change anything(wipe data-after that no data is wiped).
This recovery solves the last mentioned problem
to your questions:
1) this is not a question
2) you need ext. card
3) no. (correct me if i'm wrong)
4) no question.
5) only one partition(data) of the int. card is lost forever
:victory:

I found this kinda funny.
Anyway, yes, we install ROM on the internal memory (/system and /cache partitions are working normally) but /data is on external SD card.
With 'normal' CWM trying to wipe /data throws some errors (khm....it is bricked) but with this one it is supposed to wipe /data on external, so I dont need to wipe it manually from my PC with partition manager (at least it should do that, havent tested yet) ...

Why you afraid of trying this ? thats my cwm only with changes partition table ! The worst thing can be happen is that your phone gona stock at recovery boot animation and will fixed by flashing my normal cwm 6.0.3.2 from odin
I 99% confrim that this will work !
Is there any pathed ROM to work with this recovery? I have a friend that got this problem a month ago. Phone is in the drawer

This will work on ALL ROMS .. only you need to have an EXT4 data partition on extsd at mmcblk1p2
...........
Some news : I'm going to merge both pathced and normal one into One
I don't understand, what is mmcblk1p2, how to create this?

mmcblk1p2 is a partition on the extSD card, you have to create with a partitioning tool, it must be ext4, and you need a kernel to boot the rom from extSD, Ivendor provided a patch for his CM10 to work with data partition on extSD, refer to his thread, in the op he explained how to use it

Hope you understand this :
You must make a second partition on your external sd with ext4 format and at least 1.5GB size . you can use any partition tool ! then install this recovery , you can wipe data or fix permissions or mount data without any errors
Thanks
I have a friend with this problem, we installed the recovery and made ​​the ext4 partition on sd but when installing a rom does not pass the logo.
What rom and kernel install? some patch?

Thank you very much in advance for your work. excuse my bad English ..
