Hello !
I have a big problem with my galaxy s.
Since January i am working with my JPY firmware quiete fine. On sunday the phone rebooted without anything done by me. Afterwards my homescreen was empty.
Most of my apps are not working now. So i have done a wipe. Nothing, the same. Interesting is, that all my data was still on the device. Then i try to format the internal sd. Not working, no error message. When I delete all files and deinstalled all apps, everthing was gone. After a reboot all data is back on the internal sd as before.
OK then i tried to flash different 1 and 3 file firmware versions with odin(also with repartitioning). But no version is really working and i never get to the homescreen. So I flashed the JPY back. Then everything is like before my first steps. All data is on the phone, i can not delete anything.
I tried do delete the storage also with recovery mode. Nothing.
I tried with adb (android sdk), deleted all files in /mnt/sdcard. After a remount all data appears back.
What can i do to get my phone working ? I have found no possibility so far.
Thanks in advance for your help!

try to update it using kies or if u have latest version then try flash your device using odn flasher
Thanks for your help harmandeep45. But all this is already done. I worked on this issue little longer and can say that there is some unrepairable problem with the internal sd. I can not delete any partition neither with adb (parted /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 rm). When I do a print everything is there. I am able to mount and unmount the partitions. No problem. But it is not possible to reorganize them. Even if i write on the sdcard partition, after a remount it is as before the write. Maybe the flash memory is broken. Does anybody had the same issue? I already tried the things written in this post, but without luck : http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-845708.html
I have the same problem, i had installed another firmware on my sgs and start throwing me program errors I had before in my other firmware and when it comes to memory I saw that the folders that were there had not cleared and when I trying to delete the folders and files reappeared.
Ok, what i have tested is to flash different firmware versions. Nothing worked. I used the debug console adb to log in and tried to delete the partitions from /dev/block/mmcblk0 with parted. Nothing happens. I am not able to delete them. I don't want to send the phone to the samsung service, because there is important company data on it, like emails, banking, ebay, etc. I tried to mount it in Linux as usb memory device and used gpartet to create new partitions and overwrite all with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb1, but after reboot everything was like before. Is there any other possibility to delete the flash???

you have to flash it with jtag box riff, but I doubt you have one, you have to find a place where they have the box
i have a odd issue.
Last night the MIUI 1.10.7 ROM froze up with trinity kernal. After the reboot trinity kernal on boot screen kept freezing.
I did a full whipe re-installed MIUI 1.10.7 flashed nertchy and i was good to go.. once booted up as apps where getting restored from the market random crashed started and now everything force closes.
that is not the issue.. the issue is that i want to do a full whipe again.. how ever i can not do anything with sdcard. i have tried every possible format method and coping files to sdcard...
all it ends up is restoring the files and the file that i have copied to sdcard is gone wth :S
i can boot the system back to what it was even when i re-flash it over again still same system there trying to download files and crashing..
i have reached the end i dont know what it possible could have changed :S
help?
You could try and lock the bootloader and unlock it again. That might reset everything and get it working for you again. I had a problem with the SD card and I wasn't able to mount it in CWM to access any files so I locked and then unlocked the bootloader and everything has been working great again
no go.
earlier i tried pushing some files to sdcard using adb successfully. this only lasted until the phone was rebooted out of recovery and files where back to w/e they where before.
i pushed an filed called update.zip tried flashing.. as if i never tried.
what it seems to me like is that the whole system is preventing updates/changes to the system :S :S
no matter what i try to do to reinstall or format it goes back into its old form with exact same files and exact same problems..
basically unable to flash and delete :S:S
have you went to storage in setting menu and hit erase then erase everything?
yes,
i have tried all of the following:
- factory reset from settings
- unmounted sdcard and formatting from settings
- delete files using file explorer (deleted them but comes back on reboot)
- uninstalling application (error occurs)
- moving application to sdcard from internal storage (not enough space error occurs)
- doing factory reset using cwm
- doing individual deletes using cwm
- creating backup using cwm (error occurs, cant get chm5)
- locking/unlocking bootloader
- mounting sdcard to pc and deleting files (same thing files delete until reboot then restore)
- adb remount (remounts nothing happens)
- adb push file, i can push a file and its only there until phone reboots
- installing pushed file update.zip (miui 2.1.x) installs but still goes back to corrupted miui 1.10.7..
i don't remember what else i have tried. every time file deletes it comes back after reboot. as well as the system.
i can flash a new recovery mod and it will stick but nothing in terms of deleting files or installing new system files.
new development.. i have tried installing update.zip from fastboot menu
and this is what happens:
sending 'system' ... Okay
writing 'system' ....failed (remote: write fail)
it almost seems as if i lost all write access.. is there a way to fix this?
(fix permissions does not fix this problem)
cheers,
as the Nexus s has no actual physical SD card but it purely refers to the storage partition, I am guessing you have some how corrupted the partitions settings and possibly damaged the memory as well, i have also seen from other threads where this issue is nearly identical that the PCB board being changed fixed the problem.
sorry to say either way your Nexus S may need to go under the knife,
hmm, this was the last day i played with it...
i'll have a look tomorrow for a bussins that will take it and try to fix it
cheers, for all those who tried to help.
Hey,
I booted up my phone this morning but the boot animation stucked and I had to reboot it. When the phone booted up again, all my personal data was wiped, and all the applications I launched, except for my launcher, crashed after a second. And even if I touch nothing, random apps start crashing. I can't even run TB to backup things. Since most of my app data is on a partition of my SD card, I tried to put it on my PC but only the 'multimedia data' part mounted correctly.
Is there anything I can do apart from flashing a new row and wiping everything ? Maybe accessing it from my PC ? Or do something from CWM ?
My phone is running Kyrillos 9.7.1 with G3 Mod Non-Oc.
^It seems to me that there's something wrong with your partition.
Just format and repartition your sd card to fix any corruption issues!

Please help to solve my friend's problem:
"There are 4 system in the phone with BMM, the main system is MB ICS
Last week when I used the phone, once there is not responding, didn't want to start any application - I restart the phone.
While the phone was booting to BMM startup under the green robot the title was: cache img for system 1 cant be found, and created a virtual cache.
The system started as if I did a FULL RESET, but I didn't! After It there was a system message: unable to receive message,free up some space.
Starting calls, receiving, browsing only working (if I set the base things), but I can not be install any other application, I just only have the factory ICS apps. Unable to write a message, - free up some space - the system refers.
In the storage: Total space: 0.00 B which contained: 54Mb.
- I tried to "reinstall" the MB ICS factory rom 3 times with RSDLite, but nothing changes. It seemed to install, and everything work fine, but after the reboot there was no change.
- I tried to install ME ICS factory rom, ME JB rom with RSD, but in the 6. step: "flash failure" error stops. After this point I have MB ICS with root permissions, superuser and BMM - everything just like previously, only the sytem is wiped.
- I tried to restore my earlier backup, but there is no change.
- I tried to flash/install another "custom rom" but no change.
- Tried to format system, format cache, format data, format everything, but nothing changed.
- I tried many times, factory reset, nothing changes.
After every restart it seems if I do a full reset. I can not create a system, and I can not delete with BMM.In BMM with Aroma in "DF" setup there is 450 MB space in my phone"
If you have any solution, please tell us to solve this nerve-racking problem.

Wow. This is why my friends don't let me mod their phones. They have all kinds of questions that they ask me but they don't let me touch their phones. I guess they've seen me soft brick mine too many times and they think their phones will end up like this or something. So, your friend is much more trusting than mine are. Lol.
If it were me, I would uninstall and then reinstall all the Motorola drivers on the PC. Then re-download RSD lite, the FXZ, and everything else that is needed and try again. If that didn't work, I'd try a different PC and/or USB cable. After that, I wouldn't know what else to do. :what:
If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.

That he succeeded by himself. I "play" only with my phone He can not even start a topic in XDA, yet. But he read the topic.

Do you mean the internal storage? Cause if you're talking SD Card, there's a lot of fakes. The fakes have fake messages of storage then reboot & all is gone or corrupt.
Yes, the internal storage of the phone.
Because if you forget to create cache.img partition for a custom ROM in BMM, still boot ok, but when you restart, the phone is reseted to factory
Back to your problem, I think you cannot receive sms because it cannot save data to the cache partition
Any idea from devs to brighten us?

I've considered that too, but that doesn't explain why the FXZ doesn't seem to work. I'm stumped so I've been keeping my eye on this thread just in case someone comes up with a solution.

The problem isn't solved. The owner of the phone sent the device to the service-repair shop, but the service lost his phone. The shop paid a solatium.
Hello everyone,
I need your help. Sorry for the long post.
I have a OnePlus One. It was running on CM 13.0 (Android 6.0.1). I had TWRP and MultiROM installed.
I have had an issue where whenever I flash a zip file in TWRP, the phone will show an error after installing the zip: "Unable to mount storage". This appeared in red color on the screen right after showing the progress of the zip installation. The phone worked fine and all the flashed zips worked great as well. However, the error that appeared every single time when I flash a zip file bothered me. So I tried to fix it. (I know, if it's not broken don't fix it, but sadly I tired).
I followed this video to get rid of the error => (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7yDPszoQ5s). However, instead of getting rid of the error, I ended up with a huge problem. My phone couldn't recognize the data in the internal storage. It showed that the internal storage was empty. When I tired to reboot in TWRP, It said: "No OS installed are you sure you wish to reboot". I realized that the video I followed was for a different problem and that I ended up with the same issue the video was trying to fix! I tried every single option the video suggested to fix the problem and nothing helped.
I connected my phone to my laptop and downloaded the latest CyanogenMod zip for my phone and I flashed it. when I rebooted my phone I got a screen that asked for my password. I typed a random password (I discovered later that the phone will accept any password and say it's correct). I got the following error: "Decryption Unsuccessful... The password you entered is correct, but unfortunately your data is corrupt... To resume using your phone, you need to perform a factory reset. When you set up your phone after the reset, you'll have an opportunity to restore any data that was backed up to your google account...Then the only thing I can select is "reset phone." ". I pressed the reset button on the screen, the phone rebooted and showed the same error. Then I tired flashing PAC ROM and I got the same error again. Then I flashed OmniROM and the phone worked! It didn't show the error.
I have a Titanium backup for all my apps and I also have a nandroid backup for my previous ROM (in my memory stick using an OTG cable). However, I don't have any backups for my internal storage (photos, videos, documents... etc). I am guessing that these files are still in my internal storage. I didn't copy any new files to my phone because I think if I do, then the phone will keep replacing my old files (that I can't see) with the new ones.
My question is: Is there a way to get back these old photos and videos from the internal storage? Note that I didn't delete these files, but the phone can't read them. Also, I checked the nandroid backup that I have and the file system type of the previous ROM was EXT4. My current file system type is the same, EXT4.
Thank you for the help!
