[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lightsun47:
Hi and thanks for the quick reply.

This problem happens every time when Odin flashes the Rom, then if you know, the phone has reboot and install the files, then if the phone is working properly, the files get installed and Samsung logo appears and the new Rom is working.

But in my case, Odin finishes the installation, then the phone reboots (to complete the steps mentioned above), but instead of completing the installation, it shows that annoying error:

E:failed to mount /sdcard (File exists)

E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount /sdcard

your storage not prepared yet, please UI menu for format and reboot actions

Media files copy failed.

Your device is not ready.

Yes, that is in those blue fonts.

What is this? I have never done that before.

Thanks again.

QUICK EDIT: I found a link for converting ext4 (which they won't let me post here) which MIGHT be close to what I am hoping for, for a fix here. But again, I don't know what that means so it will be better if you can explain if I have a problem with that ext4 thing. Thanks a ton again.

Hello :)

I have an almost Galaxy S question...

I have a quick question and I've been searching for an answer.

I have a Nexus S that I used Odin to flash a 9020 firmware instead of a 9023 firmware. (Dumb thing to do I know...) The phone is dead and nothing works. Tried everything. No download mode, nothing. Battery gets warm, so phone seems to be charging.

I thought just the screen might be dead due to SLCD vs AMOLED but nope, not that lucky.

I used Odin to upload a 9020 Bootloader/CSC/PDA. I presume download mode does not work due to wrong bootloader.

I presume there is nothing I can do to save the phone. I am after getting the photos off the phone the most. Is there any tools or ways I could get them? Chip readers or extractors? Or are they already wiped? I thought I had a backup on the SDCard but then remembered it's in the phone. I've only had the Nexus S a few days.

I kid you not but there were quiet a few family photos on the phone taken Saturday night.

If you have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f3n0m3no:
there is nothing left to do,just to try a download jig. sd card is not wiped when flashing with odin,but i can t see any solution to take the photos from there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyblue04:
Thanks. But with the replaced bootloader, does that not also replace the ability for the phone to get back into download mode? Or is that stored separately on the phone and not overridden with the 9020 Bootloader/CSC/PDA files?(Hence a JIG might work?) Thanks so much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f3n0m3no:
it might work since the only difference between the 2 phones is the screen technology.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funkyblue04:
Any where else I can read more info on the flashing process? Local repair shop seems adament that the phone would have been wiped.

Hi Scott,

The technicians are positive the data has already been wiped. Additionally we do not provide a data retrieval service here, unfortunately. So all we could do in your situation is re-flash your phone and restore it to full functionality and in the process of us carrying out that repair will definitely delete your data, even if your attempt did not.

Thanks :)

I tried to flash Froyo on my friend's SGS.

It had Eclair 2.1 update 1

Three button combination never worked.

So....I had problems with MTP application but eventually I managed to connect the phone with KIES.

KIES offered me the update and I followed the steps.

Once the update process began the screen of the phone turned absolutely green.

When the progress in KIES came to 13% it stopped and I plug the phone out after an hour or so because nothing was happening.

Now the phone is bricked and what ever I do it only shows black screen with a small white phone and a PC and the orange warning triangle is in between.

So..I can't get into download mode,and that's exactly what KIES suggests so I have no idea what to do.

Please help!

A lot of people on SGS are bearing this problem including me. I am also new to android, so I don't have any expert solution. However, let me tell you something that worked for me.

1. DOWNLOAD LOAD MONITOR> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.landak.loadmon&feature=search_result

2. Go to preferences.

3. Apply these settings(you can change it as these are my personal ones)

Add notification=check

Only notify high load=check

Auto Start=check

Update Interval=5 minutes

Wake lock=uncheck

Vibrate=uncheck

Delay=No delay

Only screen on=check

Load threshold=10

Monitor task=check

Kernal Task=check

This worked for me. My phone used to go in absolute sleep/dead mode when i bought it. It used to happen regularly, many a times a day. After installing this software, I never had any such issue. I hope it will work. Good luck.

FCs for almost every app and USB storage won't accept changes

Gday, Well I have spent 3 days searching, researching, trying, flashing, rooting, rummaging and swearing... and am back to exactly where I started, so going to go out on a limb, and ask for help:

I have my sisters old Galaxy S I9000, when booted up it force closes pretty much everything, all her apps she has on it, all google related apps including Market.

Factory reset via phone (privacy menu) option, recovery menu option, and dialler code option do nothing. By that I mean they say they are working, the phone reboots, yellow text suggests everything is being formatted and wiped, and then it reboots to exactly the same state.

I have flashed various 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 firmwares, same result.

I have trie to flash custom ROMs, but can't because of the other problem; the USB storage appears to always stay unchanged no matter what I try to remove from it, or add to it (eg. zip files for installing). On my PC I can see the rive, and I can drag/drop zip files to it, I can even delete all the folders if I want, but when I disconnect the cable, the USB Storage in the phone is EXACTLY the same as it was before I connected it to the PC....

SOOOOOOOOOOO Frustrated....

I've searched high and low, forums galore, many seem to have had one problem or another, but nobody seems to have had exactly the same problems in their entirity. Even the forum I read about fixing the 'protected' USB storage suggested flashing a patch, which is a zip file, which is impossible for me to do as I can't write to the USB storage...

Your insight/wisdom/assistance o nthis matter would be GREATLY appreciated! Cheers in anticipation...
