It's hard to explain what in the hell is happening with this phone. Here's what it does, when you turn on the phone, it goes through its usual process of booting up. After booting up, and at least use the phone for ten second, the phone's screen turns off, the phone vibrate for one time, the screen comes back on at the lock screen, vibrates 3 times, and it repeats this process forever. I had a video for you to see what the phone was doing, but im a new user. so i cant show you the video on youtube. ill probably put the video in a zip later on tonight.

can you get into download mode? if you can...use heimdall to flash back to stock then flash the bootloaders afterwards...is your infuse the AT&T or Rogers Variant?
yes i can get into download mode.
ive tried earlier today, and the other numerous times in the past and yet it always does that. yet, when i flash cm10.x, it doesnt do that at all. but the sound doesnt work when on jelly bean.
its the at&t variant.
before i did the heimdall earlier today, cwm did mention that the sd-ext couldn't be mounted, and there was no app2sd partition found.

i cant even do that, because of something going on in the recovery.
Code:

No app2sd partition found. Skipping format of /sd-ext.
is this the reason of the random reboots?
ive been trying to move the files onto the phone so i can flash kitkat, but it wont let me do that, because the external sd card wont mount.

How can I do that from the recovery? I can't do it from within Android due to the phone constantly rebooting.

go into mounts and make sure you sdcard is mounted......like how in JB and KK in recovery sdcard0 is internal and sdcard1 is external but make sure that the internal is mounted...and right above the go back text is mount usb storage where when pressed will give you the ability to put files on either internal or external sdcard when you finished adding them to your internal sdcard just click unmount usb storage and check after like 5 sec that one or both sdcards are mounted then look for the files through the install folder and if found go back to mounts and wipe cache, data, system, and datadata then go back and go to advanced then wipe dalvik then go to install and flash the files you put into your internal sdcard then to be safe wipe cache and dalvik again then reboot

I'll try this forum, over 200 views on my other posts and no suggestions. Is the problem that obscure ? The tablet, while not worthless, is getting there as I am unable to load any of the hacks and fixes to the SD card to install. Is there a work-around the SD card so I could reinstall the g-sensor fix ?
With all the great minds on this forum, surely someone will have some insight into my problem. To start with I am running the latest Vegan release (thanks Team) and have been since 1/1. The only thing I can think of that might have caused this problem was that I foolishly removed my SD card without dismounting it and popped in a blank one to see if it was working. Since then, I am unable to mount an SD card. If just says "Unmount in Progress". When I click on unmount, it will unmount it and give me the "Mount SD card" option, when I try to mount it, it will say "preparing SD card", then go back to "Unmount in Progress". When I try to mount a new card, it says "Card blank or unsupported file system". But all the other card I have used in my Gtab give me the same Unmount in Progress issues. I reinstalled Vegan. Apps that used to work, no longer work, they just open and close (No FC message)
Someone please help !!!

I'm not one of the g tablet great minds but I'll make a suggestion that always works for me.
1) Format your external SD card in a computer with Fat32. Preferably not a quick format.
2) Using Recovery wipe EVERYTHING, repartition/format the internal memory.
3) Reboot into Recovery
4) Connect to a computer, mount usb, copy your files over again.
5) Re-install the rom of your choice.
In my experience (at least on the HD2 with Android) crazy FC's and otherwise unexpected behavior from a freshly installed ROM means there are leftovers that were not removed from the previously installed rom.
IMHO the device should be completely empty of every bit of software before reinstalling.
Edit: On a side note, I have NOT been able to get an external SD card from recovery which is why I do everything through USB-Mount with the computer.
If you can mount via usb, you could put the ClockWorkMod (CWM) update.zip and recovery file and then reboot with Pwr/Vol+. That should install CWM.
Then you will be able to boot into CWM and repartition or whatever you need to do. Personally I would repatition, clean out the caches, wipe data, etc. and then start with a clean slate.
Hope I have not misunderstood what you need. Hope this helps.
Rev
Factory Re-set
Don't know if this will help or not, somtimes you need to clear out the cashe.
Have you tried going into settings and clicking factory reset?
You will lose your user data, but this might be enough to fix the problem. I think you have parts of two installs overlapping each other.
Also, reformatting the SD card sounds like the next step to try if factory reset does not fix the problem.
Third you could NVflash back to stock and then start over. Then do factory reset after each install.
If you have to wipe everything I would suggest formatting your internal sdcard in clockwork to 2048 and 0

If you did a factory reset and nothing happened then the reset didn't work. I would install clockwork recovery from here.

Then boot into clockwork recovery and clear data/cache. You will have to redo the market fix and install your apps. If this doesn't stop the force closes then boot into clockwork recovery and repartition your sdcard to 2048 and 0
I'm having the same problem. I did nvflash and started fresh. Installed CWM making sure to wipe data/cache. I partioned the SD to 2048/0. I installed vegan 5.1 and its update. I think I did everything by the book, yet it still says Unmount in progress. This did not occur when I was running stock.
I tried the sd card from mt Evo as well. It does the same thing. It also does not recorgnize any USB flash installed as well.
I've run out of ideas. Can anyone help?
Thanks very much.

My VEGAn 5.1.1 says same thing but I never have a problem accessing files on it (/mnt/sdcard2). Are you sure you are not confused by the fact that the internal memory is divided into 2 GB "system" and 14 GB SD1?

Be patient, it took forever to mount a thumb drive for the first time and I too had thought something was wrong. Try again after a reboot and a couple of minutes.
Hope this helps
Thanks for trying to help. I pretty much gave up and installed TNT 5.0. I've had the thumb drive in there for 5 minutes but I'll keep it in to see if it shows up. In TNT, the SD card seems to be working/appearing fine.
I really liked Vegan, but I'll keep TNT for at least a few days to see how it does.
Thanks again!
Hey guys I need your help
I've been using cm7 for a couple of weeks now. I havnt had problems until today.
I flashed build 32 over and for some reason it wasn't booting up. It was on the splash screen for a while (it usually does that and when I take battery out and restart it boots) so then I took the battery out. Next thing I know is that my phone is stuck on the mytouch screen... I went to recovery and when it booted into cwm 3. I got a error saying it couldn't open system/recovery/log or something like that... it still went to cwm and I checked the mounts and it said /system and /data wasn't mounted. I clicked it to mount and it gave me an error saying it couldn't ... therefore it wouldn't let me install cm7 or do a wipe... is there anything I can do to fix this? It seems to be that the nand. Is corrupted or something...
I think, based on your description, that pulling the battery at the particular instant caused the secondary problem.
A "factory reset" reformats /data and /cache. But not /system. You can do that manually from the mounts and storage menu, then either restore a nandroid backup or install cm7 and gapps.

Hmm I font think its just two directories... I think my whole internal storage is messed up. I tried using the reformat option from cwm but no luck
Time to discover what you might be able to accomplish with Fastboot and a USB cable.

I have never tried this, but you might consider it.
In this thread is a method to return your phone to stock -- it uses the bootloader's ability to repartition and reformat everything somewhat automatically, using a file called PD15IMG.ZIP from the SD card's root folder.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11011692&highlight=pd15img.zip#post11011692
There's a link in the thread to the .zip file -- look to post signatures. Put the file on an SD card (with another phone, or camera, or Micro-SD to SD adapter, etc.) and boot into the bootloader with that file on the SD card.
I do not know if you can rename the .zip it to update.zip and force it to flash with Fastboot's update command, because the PD15IMG.ZIP is a specific thing this phone's bootloader looks for. As stated, I have never tried this, and do not recommend this. It might work, or, it might cause more damage. Putting the file on an SD card without Fastboot will be safer.
You could try to boot your phone into fastboot,
and then type
fastboot erase -w system
Your phone wont boot after that, but you should be able to flash a new rom from clockwork.
ive tried both the pd15img.zip method. it says "partition update fail"
and i also tried the "fastboot erase system -w" and it did not work.. it says that it can't be done. i also tried to format /system through adb and cwm, and both says it can't because it must be mounted before
From your description, it seems to me that the internal flash memory has a damaged partition table -- easy enough to repair if this were a hard drive you could remove and take to a linux system somewhere. But it's a phone, and a bit of flash memory that can't be removed.
Flashboot has an "erase <partition>" command. I don't know what it does, since it's not well documented. Does it reformat an existing partition? Or does it remove the partition from the partition table? There is no commensurate "create <partition>" command, so perhaps it recreates an empty partition. But I tend to doubt it.
I would think such work might be done from an engineering bootloader or engineering recovery system -- one available to HTC service technicians, for example.
Since you're not getting a great deal of help in the MT4G subforum, you might post your question in the top level Questions and Answers forum.
Sorry I'm not much help with this.
One last thought. The bootloader itself has a Factory Reset. That might do it. Might not. But like chicken soup, it probably couldn't hurt. Boot into the bootloader (volume down while powering up), select BOOTLOADER with the volume control and then the power button, then select FACTORY RESET. Perhaps it will do something positive.
eh.. i couldnt do anything. i tried all options. its like impossible to reformat or repartition the drive..
i actually called up insurance and they'll be sending me a new mytouch 4g..
we have just told them that it doesnt go past the mytouch screen.. would they figure out that it is rooted? i mean.. choosing recovery from the bootloader menu takes it right into cwm lol
Just flash the stock recovery back via fastboot...

Hey everyone,
So I got my tablet today and have been working on it for the past 8 hours!! I finally got CWmod on it and running. Had a nightmare of a time getting it to work correctly and after using NVFLASH to nuke the whole tablet and install the stock ROM, then updating i was able to get CWmod to run. Now I'm having a really odd issue.
I can boot into CWmod. I repartitioned the SD card, mounted it. I can see the device in windows but when I add ANYTHING to the internal SD card it is completely gone once I reboot the device. I'm trying to get a ROM on it but it's like the drive is locked or something really weird. It copys onto the tablet just fine. the second I reboot everything is deleted.
I feel like I'm missing something here. I had that issue with it when I ran the stock ROM. I could change something and it would not stick after a reboot. For example registering my device on kindle and then downloading books. as soon as I reboot the machine it's as if i never registered it. I'm really at a loss as to what to do with this. I can't seem to get it to save anything on the internal storage.
Well after fiddling with it for a while longer I'm about to give up. I used NVFLASH to get it to the stock ROM again. updated to 3588 and yet again, I can't get any changes to stick. I can change anything and everything on it while it's powered on. The second I power it off and reboot it nukes everything I did (and takes close to 5-6 minutes to boot). I even mounted it and deleted every single file on the internal storage. They all came back upon reboot. I reformatted the entire SDCARD, I reformatted all the user data, did a cache wipe.. nothing works. I'm wondering if my unit is defective? at this point I would love to just have a tablet that I can actually use. I can't understand how it's even possible to not be able to make any changes on the device unless it's reinstalling the ROM everytime I reboot?
What version of CWM are you using and how did you install it?
I was running CWM 8. I couldn't install it via the internal storage. It would boot into recovery mode and "install" but once the machine rebooted it would not boot into CWM. I tried it several times same deal. I could install it but once it rebooted, nothing :/..
So I had to use the micro SD card to install it. I edited the recovery command file and pointed it to the SDCARD2. It installed finally, and stuck!
I tried using the microSD card to install the other ROMs. But unfortunately it will not mount in CWM.
I'm trying to get CWM back on it after doing yet another wipe with NVFLASH. We'll see if I can get it to work..
So i'm basically sitting here with a brick.. unless I never power it off lol!
Ok well another odd thing is going on with this. I'm up and running with CWM 08 again. I can turn on USB mass storage mount. The tablet shows up in windows and on my linux box. I can make whatever changes I want, adding files, deleting everything on it. Nothing matters cause once I unmount and remount the device it's all back to normal. It seems like nothing is allowed to write to the internal storage even though it thinks it does write to it??
I accidentally hit the FACTORY RESET option in HBOOT, and it seems the phone just rebooted into TWRP without doing anything. However it seems my SDcard is now empty and unformatted. Earlier I had two "Internal SDcard" options in TWRP\Mount but now I just have one, and if I try to click on Mount USB storage, the removable disk appears as an unformatted disk on my PC. Is there any to fix this? Is the SD gone for good or can I recover the data?
Run a Ruu and your phone should be fine again (dont forget to relock your bootloader)
I think your data you wiped is hopelessy gone..
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I made a nandroid luckily, but I just realised that the problem is due to the sdcard not actually being able to mount. It says
E:unable to mount '/sdcard'
I'm using TWRP 2.5, maybe I will try with 2.3.1.0.
EDIT: Okay that didn't help. If I run a RUU won't it erase my SD card? I don't want to lose what's on there, is there any way to fix it and be able to mount it again?
Bottom line: I need the data on my SD... is there any way to recover it?

before going through the trouble of an RUU, if you can see the unformatted disk from your computer just try formatting it there into a FAT32 partition like you would any other drive. This has worked for folks successfully. But as for data recovery....
Dang that sucks... was there some sort of confirmation before starting the wipe? I've always been paranoid that I might fat finger it randomly and it just wipes without some kind of second check
Reflash the recovery img from fastboot then boot into recovery, you should be able to mount sd
Zero help to anyone, but I did exactly the same thing myself and had to mount the SD card in recovery and format.
It hurts!!
Well it's official. All my data is forever gone. And no there was no notification, I hit "FACTORY RESET", and it just paused for a second then rebooted into TWRP with my SD instantly destroyed. I tried every possible trick in the book. The problem for me wasn't just getting it to mount and work again, I could have done that in 20 seconds. The problem was to try and get it back WITH all my data, which I failed.
In the end, I made a RAW disk image backup of the sd card partition which for some bizarre reason ended up with a file that was 6 MB in size instead of 10 GB... I knew my data had somehow got nuked. I decided to just reformat it (Quick Format) as FAT32 on the PC, then I ran a host of data recovery programs, even those that were specialised in finding stuff from formatted drives. None of them could even find ONE file. But after format I was able to use it as normal.
I have really no clue how the entire drive was nuked within a fraction of a second, even all the data on it, but it is what it is.
On the bright side, for some reason my phone seems MUCH faster now, especially when installing apps, and the battery seems to last noticeably longer too.

It's hard to do recover because normal format recovery might not work but you can try the old ver of Easy Recovery Pro 6.x(I don't know why but the lastest ver seems removed RAW recovery) and use the RAW recovery, it usually could find some stuffs. You can also try out Diskgenius.
So, here is the thing.
I was running on Hellybean-20130426-crespo. Been running for quite some time without any problem.
Phone runs out of battery, so, I plug it in and get stuck on "Google" screen.
After some tests, I find out that if I unplug it from charger, and turn it on, the phone boots, but while booting, it reboots, and enters this way into an infinite loop.
So, I think, I will do a factory reset. This worked, the phone booted normally, and I was re-installing my apps, but every now and the phone rebooted.
So, I think again, I will wipe the phone clean and re-install hellybean, see what's going on.
I enter recovery, and wipe cache, system, boot and then I go to sd card...
I can't format the SD card. When I check the logs later, I see I get an error message:
Photo: puu.sh/2Q9nW.jpg
I can mount the SD card, but I can't see the files on my PC.
But when I go to the "apply zip rom SD card", recovery can see the files:

Any ideas what to do next? I will probably get it to a Samsung service center tomorrow, because I'm out of ideas.

You don't need to format the SD Card for a "full wipe".
You just have to:
1. Factory Reset
2. Format System
3. Format cache
4. Format dalvik cache
5. Format Data
That really is it. Then re-flash helly bean.
If you're having funky sd card errors I would reformat my sdcard through your pc as that is the best most reliable way to do this. Then try installing what you need to.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Well, yes only problem is that the PC can't read the sdcard, so I can't save the "update.zip" into the sdcard.
As of today, I can't even mount the sdcard, so I guess my only option is Samsung service.
When I bought the phone, the camera wouldn't focus, got it replaced (the camera)
Then the vibration stop working, got it replaced as well
2 weeks ago the speaker started making distortions, got it replaced as well.
All in warranty. The phone doesn't have a scratch, I'm very careful with it.
This time I will ask them to replace the phone, or else I will burn down their store. I've had enough....
PS: all the sdcard problems started after I sent the phone to service for the speaker problem and they downgraded me from stock 4.1.2 back to 2.3.
Don't know if it has something to do with it...
