Help with hard resetting the captivate

I am not sure why my phone shows two seperate parts of the space on the internal sd. It shows 2 gb space for applications and 14 gb for general use. If I hard reset it, will it erase both of that, looks like a parition to me.
Btw, Im scared to flash my phone with a different 2.2 rom. Dont want to deal with all the complicated fixes to recover it. I just need that in case I need to restore to orginal state. I wish google came up with back up options in the first place, so we dont root the phone to make it happen.

if you reset your phone it will look the same as far as sdcard samsung does this I guess for phone use and memmory management/filesystem.
in my humble opinion I would wait for oficial 2.2 update before flashing then use rom manager to backup that rom and see whats out there then

That sounds about right, then. We have been waiting too long for the offical rom update for it. Guess they have been busy worrying about money.

Unable to flash Infuse via odin or clockworkmod??

Hey guys I spend a good part of Friday trying to install a custom Kernel to my infuse. I tried using clockworkmod and odin to install the zip from my sd card. I had no luck. Every time the install from zip option was not available. I'm puzzled. Has anyone had this issue or see anyone else that had this problem. Thanks for any help.

Try moving the zip to your internal card if it isn't already. I know that CWM doesn't really like using the removable card.

He is correct.... CWM ONLY reads the internal card....

Thanks guys. I will try moving it today. I will let you know what happens.

UPDATE
Stupid mistake on my part. I transfered the files and REMOVED my phone from the usb cable and vola. Flashed. Thanks for the help!!
Sometimes you just have to walk away and come back another day to see it more clear.

[Q] Help with internal SD! 'Error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!'

I'm getting this error when using CWM 5.0.2.6 to wipe user data:
Error mounting /sdcard/.android-secure!
So the wipe fails.
I'm also unable to mount the internal SD card and do not have an external SD card to try.

I attached the error I get in ADB when trying to mount the internal /sdcard.

Can you access both the internal/external mass storage on the computer? If so try to format the external SD. Fat32 I believe and don't do the quick format. Just a thought I suppose. If I'm wrong someone scold me.

Just an educated guess, but if you can't mount either internal nor external cards, nothing will see them. I would highly recommend purchasing an external for this kind of work. You don't need an absurdly expensive 32G card. A very cheap 4 or 8G will do nicely. I picked up a 16G for $44 at Best Buy. Pass on the $80 version AT&T wants to sell you. You can find 4G cards on Amazon for around $5.

My computer see the phone and I can add any files to the phone can't install any roms or use cwm to install anything. Phone is rooted

I can see the sd card in Task Manager, under Storage. But in cwm if I try to wipe the dalvik cache or flash an update for a rom, it takes a few tries, but it works.

You need to odin the stock tar. Then boot into stock recovery and wipe data/cache. Then reboot. I have had this happen as well. Its a problem with recovery some how messing up partitions . If you just odin the stock tar it may boot loop. Thats why i say boot into stock recovery after and wipe. Actually several of us had this problem a while back. And there was no other way around it.

This happened to me when I flashed the SystemUi.apk file from my stock AT&T into boneSTOCKeteer. Did you do anything like that to get the ATT LTE icons?

Error Mounting SD card
Hi Guys,
I rooted my HTC desire few days ago and I tried to install LeeDroid HD with A2SD ROM with couple of addons through ROM Manager. And then when it installed and the phone rebooted I am getting the white screen with HTC logo folled by black screen with Android written on it. And it just stuck there.
When I started the phone into clockwork recovery mod and started to backup and restore it gives me an error E:/ Cant' mount/sdcard. Now I am stuck and need your help.
Please tell me how do I get rid of this problem and install another ROM and save my phone. A step by step guide would be really appreciated as I am new to this.
Thanks!

[Q] T-Mobile LG G2x crashed, need help

ok, so a few days ago i was flashing the G2x weapon rom onto my rooted G2x, but while i was in the clockwork mod to flash it it froze on me, i left it like that for an hour or so, but it didnt work, so i took the battery out. now whenever i turn it on, it loads the LG screen, then nothing, the screen stays turned on, but its black, ive tried to boot it into recovery mode but that does not work either. What should i do?

Did you do One-Click NVFlash>? if u used Rom Manager you probably fake flashed and thats why its not working for you. You should use NVflash followt he steps and boot up into recover and restore a back up. GOod Luck

thanks ill try that

Also try holding the vol down+pwr for longer than usual might just be being difficult
Making bad decision's one at a time.

so when i get into nvflash it says usb not found,
i did all the steps, and had it all done, but it dosent find my phone

Did u install the drivers correctly? That's probably the problem if it says USB is not found. I believe there is a video about how to install the drivers. Ill look for the video now

I used Linux to nvflash mine so I haven't used this method but I'm sure a lot of other people have.

This was written for Windows users, I followed this one myself, pretty straight-forward, and "idiot proof". (If anything can be truly idiot proof. Cynical, who, me?)

so, ive flashed my phone through nvflash and i got clockwork mod up and running, but whenever i select the file to flash that is on my SD card, it says no files found. i even tried going to my backup on the clockwork file, and nothing.

Since changing to Nvflash, did you download the rom you want to install and transfer it to the phone from your computer. Using Rom Manager it may not have left a copy on your phone.

If you cant hook up the SD card to the computer, get an external SD card and make sure u've installed clockwordmod with external sd, hook it up to a laptop with an SD card slot, and put it in , then take the mini sd and pop it in your phone, then boot up and that should do it good luck! atleast now your 1 step closer to recovering your phone

Ughh hate,seeing this happen...hope u flashed nV..all the best

Hope you didn't brick your phone.

No you did not brick your phone. Rom manager downloads the file to sdcard/clockworkmod/downloads. Look there for the file. Only if you download a rom from your browser does it go to externalsdcard/downloads

Phone storage cut in half?

About a week ago I finally got around to rooting my phone.
Right after root I did a nandroid, then unlocked the boot loader.
Then using droidstyles guide I flashed aokp jb, no issues with the flash.
The thing I noticed after getting my phone at up is that my memory is way lower than when it was stock.
Before I rooted, with all my apps installed my remaining memory was around 9.7 gb, now it's about 5.
I've also tried other roms out, all end up the same. Just wondering what's going on. I noticed in one of the jb rom threads it says something about converting to fat32 is that for the internal memory or external sd card.
Any ideas how to fix this? Thanks

Ok well after cleaning up my internal storage free from junk files, downloads that I don't need and you may roms, I'm almost back to the normal range.....
Using root exp what path is it to nandroid? I have 3 on there and really only want stock root for now.
Thanks

Found it, I can't tell them apart, the dates are far from being right so I guess they will just stay put incase they are needed.
Thanks
