Did you install the lg drivers? For some reason you have to use same usb port each and every time. Have you tried a different computer if possible?

Is it Trinity CM9? If so, this is a known problem and is being worked on.
Checking the thread before posting would've helped a lot.

Nope, it's CM7.
I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling LG Drivers, and that didn't work either. I tried another PC as well, and it also failed to recognize the device.
Not sure if this means anything but when I go into CWM on my phone, I can't choose any of the options, it just goes to the icon and does nothing until I battery pull.
Is there any way I can format the SD while it's in my phone, or will that screw things up, like my ROM, ect.
You can reformat the sd card while on cwm but it's gonna clear ur sd. It's gonna erase everything on it. Your rom will be fine

Alright, I'll try that, I don't have anything on it besides music and my zip files. I put the micro SD in a regular SD adapter and it works fine on my PC, it's something about when the card is in my actual phone.

So i tried to flash the latest evervolv jb rom. Didn't boot,oh well.
Went to recovery to restore, error while restoring system, hmmm, never seen that b4.
So went to usb mass storage and downloaded roms 3 times they all say bad , of course they're not all bad.
I am using CW-enhanced recovery v1.1b but have been for a couple weeks not sure if that has anything to do with the problem or not.

Are you Downloading over WiFi , Hardline , or the Network? Are you making sure to check the MD5 Checksum before trying to flash? Did you Restoring a different Rom? I don't think it's the Recovery, as I am currently using Dreads Recovery on several devices with no issues. Has your SD Card been giving you any issues?
I've had this issue when I ran out of space on my SD card (using Dread's Recovery). Probably never did a complete backup but I didn't really pay attention and when I tried to restore it errored out... Perhaps reboot into bootloader and then back into recovery. Then try a different backup (I occasionally save copies of nands on my pc) or a different ROM. Good luck!

Maybe windows isnt actually formatting it.
Do you have a usb or blank cd laying around?
Try live booting linux and formatting your SD that way.

but back to the original problem. I still can't get the sd card to read. If I go to the gallery like I want to look at the pictures stored on it, I can see them greyed out in the background, but I get an error message. In settings, storage, it detects the card and tells its volume, but won't let me look at it.? At a loss. Gonna redownload the cm nightly and reflash and see, but I don't get it.

I know you might not want to hear this, but it might be your SD card...
Those things don't last forever and errors on them can sometimes be tricky to diagnose because bad sectors can sometimes still be read even if they are bad.
My suggestion, if your PC can still read the card then you should start by backing everything up. Then, try using another SD card in the phone. If the phone can read that, then there might be something wrong with the first card. You can also try using the phone to reformat the problem card.
Try to debug in a way that determines if maybe the card is the problem. Just the other day I had a 32 gig card go bad on me. It happened when my phone fell and came out of it's case. After that the card didn't work anymore. I remembered seeing "shock proof" on sandisk's descriptions, but I always thought it was a marketting thing. Maybe it wasn't. There's also a possibility that my card simply failed before I dropped the phone, and the reboot caused the system to remount the card and finally see the problem.
Either way, it went bad and I lost my stuff. A cautionary tale.
I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, sorry if it's not, but my phone is really screwed up. I have the htc one S on T mobile that is running the viper one s rom on cwm 10 and will just go to a black screen after displaying the htc screen. I don't have any nandroid backups or copies of working roms either, so I can't boot from those. I did not have USB debugging checked before my phone became corrupt, so I'm pretty sure that ABD will not work, and whenever I try and plug my phone into the computer and access the flash boot menu, it will say that the USB is corrupt and it will not work. The cause of this is because I was messing with the build.prop, I accidentally deleted it, although I have a backup, there is no way if installing it in my phone's current state. It's getting to the point where I honestly don't care if I lose al of my stuff just as long as my phone will work again. Any knowledge shared on this subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Recovery and fastboot and that's about it.
Get a micro sdcard or if you have one already, get a micro sdcard reader, open case from back of your phone and take out the microsdcard.
Put it in the card reader. Copy the rom/image... put the card back in... boot in recovery... use the rom from sdcard to flash that rom.

That would be your best bet. Everyone makes mistakes like this once in a while but make sure that you always create backups so you wont lose all your data. Best of luck
yeah...u can use that procedure to get back to stock which will unroot ur device..this is a safe procedure..
but, if can get a rom in your sd card, flash it and make wipes..it'll be shorter method i guess, it'll save a lot of time!

When it gets to the part saying it is updating the firmware in Kies, it keeps failing. I have done a few factory resets but I just can't get past this. I know I need to be on GB so I can easily get root and install CWM. Is there a way to install GB via ODIN so I can get this thing rooted+recovery?

And after this last attempt, it decided to work. lol. Well, it was probably cause I re-installed the Samsung drivers on the same page I downloaded Kies mini.

I guess that link to the guide was misleading. I am not using Heimdall either. I got root using the super one click in that guide, and then used SGS kernel flasher to flash kernel+CWM. Then when I went to CWM it wont mount SD card so I can't do a backup or flash a new ROM.
EDIT:
I think that part of the problem is CWM wants to mount /sdcard (as it should) but my sdcard is showing up as /mnt/sdcard so how can I fix this?
What do you mean it won't mount? If you go to backup it gives you that error? What version of CWM is it?
Never had that problem before... can I be one of those tech support people and ask if you are sure that you SD card is in. And have you tried putting the desired ROM on the internal phone storage
Edit: can you or can you not access your files on your SD card in cwm?

No, I am completely unable to access the SD card in CWM. I just ran gremlin remover, so I am going to try again with sgs kernel flasher. I will try the other kernel this time.
Don't know what ROM I want to use yet. I was hoping to find a good JB rom, but looks like there is no wifi on them yet. Any good ICS roms available?
EDIT:
And yes, the sd card was installed. I was able to access it when I would let the phone boot into android, then it was at /mnt/sdcard but /sdcard was showing the voodoo folder.
Right now I have the red text CWM after flashing with ODIN. Gonna try a backup and then go flash a different kernel.
EDIT:
Ok, right after the ODIN flash I am still unable to access the SD card in CWM. Maybe I have a bad SD card. I will try another.
EDIT:
Ok, so this is a SD card problem. I stuck in a blank 1GB SD card and had android format it. Then I put the kernel I wanted on it and rebooted into recovery, I was then able to access the SD Card and run a backup. I will backup my original SD card and then stick it in the phone to have it formatted, and hopefully I will be good to go after that.
OH, and still wondering what a good stable ICS rom might be, or whatever are good stable/fast.
Thanks.
Beastmode's CM9 seemed to work great for me. I am running his slim bean 4.1.2 which has WiFi but not GPS or camcorder.

There's supposed to be a redirect from /sdcard to /mnt/sdcard that I've noticed when using several apps like Ghost Commander. Your main choices are either to make it yourself or to backup and reformat your SD card, especially if other SD cards work fine...
Well, I decided to go with Valahalla BlackEdition since I need a rom where everything works, and this one looks like all the bugs are worked out.
Thanks for all the help here guys!
