Mine just did earlier today, and I had been running 4.1 since it was updated. I knew the risks, so it was only a matter of time...
[Fascinate Android Development] InfiniteRefrain:
After a couple of days I got about 44hrs on my battery [Peggle, browsing, facebook, etc].

I am only getting lag on the 'needy' apps like Peggle and Angry Birds. There have been a few random reboots, but I am not sure what is causing it.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssewk2x:
I'm an embedded software developer, and have actually written drivers for a few different types of flash memory. But, not SD cards, so this is just a wild theory...

Flash I've worked with usually had a "password" - a 32 bit value or series of values that you had to write to a specific memory register to enable the flash to be written. These passwords could be configured (tho this is very strongly discouraged), along with other operational parameters important for both reading and writing the flash memory itself, by accessing certain other "shadow memory" addresses within the flash chip itself.

I suppose it's possible that a buggy flash driver could screw up some of these parameters and render the flash unusable at the hardware level. If it were possible to do at all from this point, restoring the flash to a usable configuration would take some pretty intense low-level debugging / programming / wizardry. This is why driver devs usually don't mess with those config registers at all...at least I don't, lol!
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
Wow, this was unexpected.

My SD card died two days ago while on this rom, so just a few minutes ago, i ODIN'ed back to the complete DL09 package with atlas.pit and repartition checked, and I formatted my SD card (on DL09), and it was recovered. Definitely not going to risk it again, though. Anyways, it's just a thought; maybe it was only me. I'd say give it a shot, though.

Edit: Spoke too soon? After a reboot, it only shows up as a CD drive. However it is still recognizable by the phone.

Edit 2: I can mount and access it through recovery! Works now on CM7 :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaessa:
FWIW, if you've toasted your SD card... Best Buy has PNY 16GB Class 10 Micro SD cards for $29.99 if you buy online and pick up in the store. They're regularly $44.99. I don't know how long this sale is on, but I just replaced my fried card with one today. Great deal!
[Fascinate Android Development] 1993cb7:
Im going to give this rom a shot.

Cheers!
[Fascinate Android Development] glsteve:
I want to try this but I don't want to fry my SD card.
[Fascinate Android Development] NoName9:
FWIW, I have been running the original leak (Note: I have NOT rooted.) since the 27th and have had no SD card issues. I removed my SD card when installing the leaked GB, formatted it as soon as the leaked GB booted up, then copied all my files back to the sd.

I'm constantly changing my setup and would be happy to beta test any patches for the nameless rom.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
Hey, that's a great idea - especially since Navenedrob thinks the sd card may be getting the bug during the Odin process due to faulty USB drivers :)

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] NoName9:
I used a 2GB card this time around just to be on the safe side since my first try with GB wiped but didn't destroy my 16GB card.

I haven't got around to throwing my 16 back in but have only had a few random reboots over the past week but my SD card is fine and all pics are still here.

I might have cracked the DaVinci code. LOL
[Fascinate Android Development] mcgratey:
I did the same thing a couple days ago, but during titanium restore of my apps, data started getting wiped on my sd. Took sd card out and my titanium backup folder was gone. Was able to format the card again with windows. I did root the original leak with gingerbreak though, had to to use titanium
[Fascinate Android Development] NoName9:
I opted not to root this yet to see what it would and has gone well. Having Netflix on GB is more useful to me than tethering.

Being the glutton for punishment I am I may try one if the tweaked GB versions from XDA and see if I get as lucky. LOL
[Fascinate Android Development] mcgratey:
Agreed, even though I can't trust a sd in my current setup, now that I have netflix, I'm having a hard time talking myself into reverting back to ukb2.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] fortesquieu:
I did the same, and my SD card is still alive so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] skynet11:
To correct a statement I made earlier, Navenedrob told me he never said the bug might be in the USB drivers. In an effort to track down the EC09 sd card bug so people won't be scared off from flashing TSM's upcoming GB ROM, I've posted a survey thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1150575 The more responses I get in the poll I posted (from people who've tried EC09), the closer we can get to finding, isolating and fixing this bug. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Another Fascinating post by my XDA app...
[Fascinate Android Development] NRadonich:
Is there an update in the Pipe? I've been pretty happy with this ROM so far. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] NoName9:
Don't know of an update but I love this rom except I get a ton of random reboots. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] fortesquieu:
those reboots should be caused by some of the apps you got. my battery life is awesome and no random reboots here.
[Fascinate Android Development] NRadonich:
No random reboots for me, it's been running quite stable since I installed it.

No SD Card issues, either, though I am *very* diligent with backing up my SD Card contents before any kind of update.

Only a couple of apps that I run fail (the Five Guys app for one.). There is a small glitch with the Phone, when I try to use the VM Shortcut on the bottom left, it will Force Close, but that's pretty small.

I *really* hope there is an update in the works, this, byfar has been my most favorite ROM I've used. Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] 30secs:
Installed the rom several weeks ago over my froyo version... have not had any issues with sd card. rom is pretty stable.. my favorite too!
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
I've said on IRC that I may not release an update or work on TouchWiz ROM's anymore, BUT I am working on an update to this. It is taking longer than expected, hopefully I will be able to release the update soon. I have been busy, but it not shown here on XDA. If you aren't active on IRC, then I recommend logging in to chat there :).
[Fascinate Android Development] kwinders:
Pardon me while I go change my shorts. :-o
[Fascinate Android Development] neo4uo:
Besides Netflix working this makes me soooooooooooooo Excited...lol

-Thanks bro \oo/
[Fascinate Android Development] thelandon:
If I understand correctly, this ROM is using RFS and achieving quadrant scores near what we'd normally get using Voodoo?! If so, I'm super excited about flashing this and even MORE excited for the day that nemesis can get his Voodoo OTB kernel working for this! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Tkun:
I think I'm gonna try this out later today, hopefully the devs somehow get Voodoo working on this soon. I hate going without my precious Voodoo Sound! :D
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
How the he'll are you pulling those quadrant scores? I'm getting a consistent 803ish

[Neuman]

SCH-I500 - EC09(GB)/Nameless V4/Launcher Pro Plus
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
Just downloaded the program from the market and ran it on the device, that is the score I got. Got the image jptech7 posted and put the two together. This is after I tweaked minfree and sysctl a little, which probably helped. I'll include those scripts in the update.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Cannot wait for the update! I'm finally Odin'ing the stock 2.3 until your update rolls out. Thanks man its good to see you back! ;)
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
Ohhh lol didn't realize that score was with the tweaked bits not uploaded yet. Can't wait for the update brother!

[Neuman]

[Fascinate Android Development] tsgeek:
This looks awesome. I'll wait for the new update due soon. Thanks so much for putting this together. After observing the ickyness over the weekend, it's nice to see so much positivity. :)

I just upgraded from the horribly underpowered LG Ally a couple of weeks ago. The one worry I had was leaving the awesome Ally devs and community. I'm glad to see such a great Fascinate community as well!
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
Thanks for all your work...can't wait for the update!
[Fascinate Android Development] ekowanz:
Awesome sir...
[Fascinate Android Development] rlrhk:
stupid question, but it doesn't say I have to wipe data before I install this. Should I or does this rom do it for me?
[Fascinate Android Development] jbarcus81:
Anyone notice the 'degraded' animations? Like scrolling, panning.. It's choppy at best.. a fix for that? Or still too soon...and thanks for the hard work !!!
[Fascinate Android Development] teezle:
Have both as well. Waiting for the update and the default apps before i try this.

I tested that HC 2.5 on the tab hut keeps fc'ing on me. . . . . .

. . . . all this patience is killing me!!! lol
[Fascinate Android Development] gkirby11:
Probably to soon. This did just get dropped to all of the Devs last night along side this also being a non release client and just a WiP.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
I think it was confirmed working in an earlier post.
[Fascinate Android Development] Neuman.Tim:
the camcorder works fine for me.

[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I think we're getting the SGS II camera with this update :cool:
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
My Home button doesn't work and my contacts are all gone. Anyone know how to get these back?:(
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
You need to re sync your Google account etc, If you wiped data before flashing. Settings>Accounts..
[Fascinate Android Development] rlrhk:
I just noticed there is no youtube or exchange email app. Is there anyway to get these installed?
[Fascinate Android Development] adambobbyburgers:
My camcorder isn't working. When switching from still to the camcorder, it vibrates like it would if it was crashing, and then a pop-up says: "Warning: Camera failed"

Youtube you can get from the market, but I second your request for the email app.
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
Thanks Delvin, that worked. However, Home still doesn't work, an error message is saying my SD card is blank, camcorder not working, and it's laggy and buggy for me. I think I'll wipe everything and start over. I guess, based on the first post, I'll have to switch back to a different CWM version to wipe.
[Fascinate Android Development] rlrhk:
Thanks!

My camcorder behaves the same as yours.
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
Oh crap, I think I have a disaster. Flashed this but was getting force closes that a reboot did not help with. Ran Fix Permissions from Recovery and rebooted. Somewhere along the way my micro-sd card has died. I get error saying it's a blank card and must be formatted. Put it in computer and same thing. From Recovery it also won't recognize that card. I've never had this happen. Can anyone help??
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
For the people having major issues did you flash this straight from 2.2? Not odin'ing to 2.3?
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
Yes, I just flashed from Com Rom 2.1.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
I don't have any experience with this but, I'm on bloated 2.3 right now and awaiting the new update so I'll let you know. Seems like a lot of problems might be just flashing straight from 2.2 :confused:
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
It has wiped my sd card blank twice now. I installed the leaked version via odin, reflashed cwm and flashed Nameless v4.

Edit: Seems to happen when I reboot...
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Hm, I'm not having a single issue on bloated 2.3. Over 4 or 5 hours now.
[Fascinate Android Development] DevinLeFevere:
Something with the media scanner then.
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
I was only on bloated 2.3 for about an hour before I flashed Nameless. I didn't have any fc's or sd card issues in that hour. On 2 occasions that I rebooted my phone it came up with a notification saying my sd card was blank.
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
That sounds like it might be the cause. I've tried to reproduce it a few times now with no luck.
[Fascinate Android Development] harpdoc:
My card is not actually blank. I'm using Photorec, a free program, to pull the contents off and it seems to be working. Of course, it's pulled in random order, the file names are not retained, and will be a big mess. We'll see how much actually gets recovered (I had 15gb saved onto the card).

Something is happening that's making our phones and computers unable to read the card. Anyone planning on trying this rom might be wise to backup your card first--I sure wish I had.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
It keeps deleting my E-mail.apk and Touchwiz launcher on reboot. When I go back to put them on the system/app folder it tells me that they are already there.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Do I need to install the modem?
[Fascinate Android Development] DroidBlaze:
I odin'd full ec09 then clockwork recovery. Booted into recovery flashed this rom and after restoring some apps I rebooted and my sd card was completely wiped :'(. Oh well everything else seems to be running fine so its all good unless it keeps wiping my sd card lol. Thanks for your hard work!
[Fascinate Android Development] DroidBlaze:
No but I seem to get better data speeds and overall reception with ec09 so you might want to try.
[Fascinate Android Development] sunder74:
The only issue I've had so far are browser force close, adb and usb not being recognized by my computer (reinstalling the drivers sorts that but adb will not survive a reboot.) No issues with the sd card or camcorder. I did however come from the full leak that I manually deodexed and rooted. So some of the issues may stem from coming from a custom froyo rom to this.
[Fascinate Android Development] Highriser:
Notification Bar

I really love the new look of the notification bar and I like having, but I don't really want to use the leak full time because the animation degradation bothers me so much, lol (I have a problem with things like that :D). I would love if someone could give me a file to flash or something, or tell me what files I need to take from EC09 (like the framework-res?) and put on ED04.

Thanks! :):):)
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
I'll be sure to back up my entire SD card before doing this then.
[Fascinate Android Development] Shinebox:
So far I have noticed:

Desk Cradle doesn't work and if you install it, it will uninstall after reboot

Screencapture service doesn't work

Camcorder force closes

Browser can't download

If you install any other launcher it will disapear if you reboot
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
Which partition type do you select?
[Fascinate Android Development] bangdrum:
Isn't he working on a update already?
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
Yeah, he said in a hour or two awhile ago so im sure it will be up soon.
[Fascinate Android Development] bangdrum:
OK cause I'm on fully stock gb and waiting :)
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
Im on the same boat
[Fascinate Android Development] pc1990:
^Tell me about it...I've been checking this thread every 5 minutes since morning LOL...But, I'm sure the wait will be worthwhile.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Heh... I think that describes a lot of us. The poor webserver...all these refreshes gotta be hell. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] bwot75:
Yup...totally F'd my card as well...gonna try to salvage what I can
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I had this happen after I switched from Nameless over to the original leak... I think GB has some "issues" with SDcard support. Let this be a warning to everyone... Back up your files!!!!! !!! !!!!!! If you really really need the files, go get Recuva which is a free prog that can scrape files from Fubar'd disks. Tell it to do a "deep scan". Prepare to wait 30-40 min. Then, hopefully, the files have some semblance of a normal name because if not you will have about 3000 jpegs, mp3s and whatever that just start at 000001 and count up.

One more: !
[Fascinate Android Development] smdion:
I was on EvilFacination EC03 and flashed over this with changing to his recovery.

No problems with camera/desk cradle/sd card.

Everything is running great.

But I did clear cache/data
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
I used the photorec software and was able to get my important files back, namely all of my pics. Will have to wait this one out to see if this issue can be resolved...
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
Meh, was gonna flash this for fun, but all the sd card getting wiped isnt sounding worth it. I already backed my sd card up to my computer but still, ill just wait for his updated version to see if he fixed it.
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Can i flash this over comrom 2.0 after wiping data and cache without loosing the files in my sd card?
[Fascinate Android Development] rac1974:
Agree 100%
[Fascinate Android Development] joebob2000:
I had this happen after I cleared out Nameless (the FCs were bugging me) and went to the fully flashed rom. So, IMO, this is a GB thing and not just a Nameless thing and anyone using GB from this leak should be ware and not take chances if their SD cards have valuable info. I cannot !!!!!!!!!!!!! this enough! !
[Fascinate Android Development] kuronosan:
Having trouble getting into download mode in the first place to even flash this. :(
[Fascinate Android Development] jkat797:
Anybody?? Please??
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
I personally would odin the full leak first, flash this ROM. But up to you, I'm not sure how this would react if you flashed this coming from froyo. So i would keep it safe, And for the sd card getting wipe, I'm not sure how this is avoidable. Everyone that flashed this that had there sd card wiped did flash this from his recovery he posted right?
[Fascinate Android Development] lbmorgan:
Celebration!

To celebrate .. I think I will have a Gingerbread latte ..
[Fascinate Android Development] Falcyn:
My SD card was not wiped and functions perfectly following navenedrob's instructions to the letter. Originally, I came straight from Froyo (EF 3.6.0). I've already flashed this ROM multiple times, too, and SD has been fine through them all. There has to be something some people are doing here that others aren't that's causing that wipe -- I just have no idea what it is.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssmaster:
I should have verified my backups with titanium backup, some how they were all 0kb-7kb, so something went horribly wrong in the process.

OLD POST:

does anyone know if it is possible to restore my apps from titanium backup? When I verify my backups almost all of them have errors, and it only gives the the option of restoring some old backups of programs I deleted months ago.

First I installed the original leak and couldnt restore my backups. Then installed nameless, it wiped all my data without letting me know, and I still can't restore my apps.

Everything is listed in titanium backup. All the apps I want to restore are grayed out with a crossout.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
I flashed using the blue CWM3 recovery and sd card is fine, however, some apps are force closing ie Tweetdeck and a few others. Otherwise, everything appears fine. Came from OTA ED04, flashed blue CWM3, then flashed Nameless. ODIN'd EC09 radio several hours later.
[Fascinate Android Development] pikanate1:
Maybe people are flashing this with CWM3, not the CWM he posted to flash it in the instructions
[Fascinate Android Development] garywojdan81:
Good point. For anyone having problems with your sd card, could you specify which recovery you used & what rom you came from?
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Using stock gb for the entire day (flashes yesterday) with no sd issues. A little laggy, and but nothing major.... No idea what is causing the sd wipe.

Have you folks experiencing this ever used the sd performance scripts? I wonder if it has anything to do with encountering whatever that script did during the scan making it unreadable. Perhaps it's resetting some info in the file-tables?
[Fascinate Android Development] bwot75:
Well...I guess I didnt just lose information, I tried reformating the card, and it worked, but I was still having issues writing to the card even in windows, so I flashed the phone back to stock, inserted the card, and tried to format it from the device itself, but nothing was happening, I insereted it back into the PC, and it told me there was a problem and I needed to format. Now I cant even format the card from windows....what a ****ty day
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
Please, all, take note as this is not an acceptable recovery to use. If by blue you mean times_infinity's recovery, then it will not work. There is a problem with SH that causes the install scripts to fail, which will cause all kinds of problems when you boot the OS. Any of his recoveries, no matter the color, won't work.

I provided the instructions so you could have a flawless installation, but if you don't follow them, then I'm not responsible for anything after that point.

FYI this isn't meant to sound negative, just want to be precise as to why the steps are important. Who wants a busted SD card?
[Fascinate Android Development] fortesquieu:
all my recovered pics are in smaller format. ho about yours?
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
It's finally on the upload, sorry it took so long, but fixing the bugs was important to me.

So what is fixed in this next release, soon to come?

NAMELESS v4.1 CHANGELOG:

Browser bugs - Can download, added 8 tab support, custom user agent switching

Camcorder bug - you can take videos now

Added "tuneup" script which can be run through adb or terminal emulator to enable some speed tweaks

Re-work of some installation scripts and processes

Added YouTube app, which I forgot last time

Added stock SGS Gingerbread enterprise Email app

Sbrissen mods! Thanks Sbrissen!

Multitouch tweak
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
Naven you back with the fascinate? You did take a hiatus for a while. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
Sleep? Who needs it. Excellent work, navendrob. Can't wait to get my grubby little mitts on it. Hope you stick around a while and keep up the good work.

...and add a donate link to yer forum profile. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] navenedrob:
I've thought about it before, but I do all my work for free. I like doing it, it's fun to me.
[Fascinate Android Development] ssmaster:
Nevermind I found out all my problems were from my own stupidity. USE the recovery posted in the OP and make sure when you backup to titanium backup to verify the backup. Save yourself a lot of headaches.

OLD POST:

ok my screen shut off while trying to download an app from the amazon app store. When I turned it back on a notification came on that said SD card unexpectedly removed. Then it told me it was damaged. Luckily I just backed up my whole sd card after hearing this might happen. I think I am going to flash back to dl09 and restore my nandroid... if i can.
[Fascinate Android Development] Grimis:
My bad, I had downloaded the one in the op but actually flashed the other by mistake. Trying to juggle, kids and everything else got side tracked. I'm not going to end up with the sd card issue if I flash the one in the op, right?
[Fascinate Android Development] TheMuffStuff:
I would recommend you get a new sd card, or just unplug it and plug it back in, It happens, and its not the roms fault.
