Got EU in my Vibrant in May/June.

eMMC chip:

SD32G (must be reffering my external 32gb sd that I'm using as internal)

Rev: 0x7C

Verdict: Unknown chip
[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
Well I suppose that my other post is no help then, considering it's the external being identified.

Oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] dracore:
Hi all,

I've been getting EU message even after I partitioned my external SD (16GB), applied the swapped vold.fstab, and installed an ICS rom (ICS Passion v13). I have no idea why this message is still appearing?! Is the swap not even working?

Any suggestions on what to do next?
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
Hey guys, i've got EU screen a few minutes ago after flashing CM 9.1 stable (i got bootloop after flashed LANIGHT 4.2 then go to CM 9.1). Fortunately i've read this thread months ago, i pull out battery and go back to stock safely now. Thank you very much :good:

* After a few times playing with EU screen, i found out :

1. If you do a Format Factory in CWM, and one of the messages say "... using format unknow... " and the EU screen will show up if you flash any rom. DO NOT touch the button, pull out battery now.

2. I fixed it by flash a Glitch kernel, then go to CWM and mount USB -> Windows will show a "scan and fix..." USB storage, only tick the "Automatic fix file system errors." then wait a minute. when Windows finish the scan, unmount your phone, format Factory again (the message above should not be shown) and flash your ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] fagnerkof:
But are you with internal memory back, or using the swap extsd workaround?
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
I dont have any extsd, just work with the phone storage

Hi Guys. My colleague got the infamous "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen on his Samsung Captivate. It was running on CM 9.1 and I was really shocked to hear that his phone got bricked because I thought that this ROM and kernel are absolutely safe. Anyway, I told him to take the battery out and now I am not sure what to do as everyone advises something different. What would be the best thing to start with? Should I follow the first post in this thread, or should I do this:
[Captivate Android Development] swayjd:
Sorry to hear that. First and foremost, there is no fix. The only thing he can do is start using an external sdcard and tricking the phone into thinking it's the internal. Procedure is in the OP. Lots of links with "patched" roms throughout the thread.

His sdcard may come back to life but as far as we know it happens at random. By all means try every suggested fix but we don't have anything official. Better not hold your breath.

That's it. Good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] mrpiter:
Damn... Is there any safe 4.0.4 ROM out there? I really though that CM 9.1 is safe while it turned out to be a piece of sh*t! :/
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
Move to JB Roms at the moment I don't hear of any EU bug.

Also if think what you think of CM9 we invite you to made a ROM and share with us. Well if you know how to do it.LOL
[Captivate Android Development] azunino:
I've modded cm9.1 to use /data and /sdcard on an external SD: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1711150. Somewhere in that thread there is also a modded devil kernel for devices with broken internal SD.

BTW, besides the UE problem, which might be unrelated to ICS/cm9 since there are reports of broken SD cards with lots of other ROMS/phones, cm9 is fantastic, so if you don't like it you can flash any GB based ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] swayjd:
No, there isn't. As far as we know 4.1.1 is safe though, no casualties that we heard of. It's not that CM is bad, it's something in the aosp itself that's causing this. Your just a victim of your own negligence.
[Captivate Android Development] shuyin1102:
Sr to see that. Did you try Heimdall One-click to stock? This is my final choice of playing with soft-bricked and ALWAYS safe and :good:
[Captivate Android Development] mrpiter:
I have just tried it but it failed. And now all I am getting is: Firmware upgrade fail! Try using recovery mode. And that's it. I can't go any further. Looks like I need to get this repaired by official Samsung service... Any idea how much it's gonna cost?
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
With the mesage you can connect the phone to the pc and flash any ROM with Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Nop ICS is not safe.. Haven't heard this issue from any jelly bean ROM yet. Probably jelly beans is much safe.
[Captivate Android Development] mrpiter:
Yeah, I've done that but it is boot looping :/
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Did you tried mounting your SD card CWM recovery? If it's accessible than you are safe.
[Captivate Android Development] mrpiter:
And how do I do that? I am in CWM > Mounts and Storage Menu and which option should I choose? mount /sdcard or mount USB storage? Well... Stupid question since both are actually failing :/ My internal memory is gone, right?
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
Yes, it's probably gone, but you may be able to get CM9 booting on the external SD.

[Captivate Android Development] coldblooded:
I flashed CM9.1 and got the encryption error. Here's a brief log of my long night of getting things back in shape

- Pulled external SD card, did not hit 'reset' button...just pulled batt

- Reading through the thread, I tried the simplest option: go to recovery and wipe data & cache, then reboot.

-- :) Lucky for me, this worked...so far it's booted up and ICS is running.

- I'm not getting a cell signal, but I might need to re-unlock (AT&T phone on T-mobile). Will investigate that next.

- Can't boot into recovery to install gapps...just boot loops

- Officially spooked: ran Odin one click KK4, no bootloaders

- Life is good, booted up & everything works, cell & all

The f'ed up thing is that I ran CM9 RC2 a while back and it was super slow, but I never had these problems.

Perhaps I just need to find a nice clean Gingerbread ROM and sit tight until I get my new phone in Dec ;)
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
CM10 runs better (on my phone) than any rom I've ran, and there's been many.
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Is any buddy using Hellybeans or any other latest JB ROM on broken Sd devices?
[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
I am on HellyBean build 10/14 successfully with my broken sd

I talked to DerTeufel a while ago, and how it was installed remains a mystery. I have to replace my vold.fstab file after every flash to ensure the cards are swapped properly, but it works.

When I got the EU screen, I stupidly hit the reset button without reading up on it, and followed the directions in the OP. It has worked using that setup ever since.
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Don't know if it's already been posted here, other than some other workarounds (I think Azunino's?), but would be great if that info could be posted here :) the way it was installed. Or I guess you used the workaround in the OP and can install HellyBean? Sorry if I'm confused.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
This is the ROM thread for Captivate, but here is the original I9000 thread that DerTeufel started.

As far as installation I never did anything unusual to install it, sans my vold.fstab file. What I do is flash the ROM then, still in recovery no reboot, use the included filemanager to copy my file into /system/etc and replace the one from the ROM. It boots normally after that.

This is my vold.fstab the I've been using since HellyBean was only identified by v#, before aroma installer.

I hope this helps, and I'll be happy to answer any questions or anything of the sort when I get back from work. This was all done after following the steps in the OP after "Too late? Already hit the button? Then you know this screen:"
[Captivate Android Development] M973:
Thanks.

Fortunately I haven't had the EU bug, still on an ICS ROM, but always interested to hear of solutions and workarounds in case it happens.
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Let give it a try :) is emmc reverse is also built in ? can any one make a zip of it, will be lot easier with it. one more thing how do you push vold.fstab in ? adb method ?

[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
As I said earlier, I don't use adb or anything of the sort to push the vold file, I use the recovery filemanager in devil kernel to move it before the first boot.

I have not had success with the EMMC reverse fix zip in the past, which is why I use my own vold, but good luck, and I hope it works for you!

And I promise the vold.fstab is in /system/etc, you may want to check again :)

[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
I hate to ask, but when it reboots to recovery, did you flash again? Hellybean requires two flashes initially to set the partitions.
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Thanks.... I will try your vold.fstab when gets back home.
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
Actually my issue is that could install any ROM since DerTuel changed the partition layout. Lanight , Hellybean or any other new build getting back to recovery again & again no matter how many time flash the ROM. After clean installation gets back to recovery when restarts :(
[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
My recommendation is try rebooting from the menu if it boots to recovery. Mine will go to recovery sometimes on reboot, and always boot to recovery if it's off and gets plugged in. Maybe just use the recovery menu to reboot to system a few times to see if that works. It may not be that simple, but it's certainly worth a shot!
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
I m busy in a office project today/tomorrow will try ricardo121212's vold & your suggestion after that. Never faced this kind of problem before just started since new partition layout.
[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
It was a new thing for me as well. I don't remember exactly when it started, but I imagine it was with the partition change as you said.

While it is a little annoying at times, I consider that a small sacrifice for staying up to date :)

I put in the SD... boot in recovery... go Advance>Partition SD>chose 2048MB & 0MB swap...

then what I get is a message saying "An error occurred while partitioning SD...."

Any solution face this issue during doing 'workaround' and is there any solution for this?

- manage to slot in a 2GB sdcard and flash it with rom...

- able to boot into the rom and there is no internal or external sd... the 2GB sd became the phone storage...
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
if you are using 2 GB memory card than it well became internal. Please use a bigger SD.

Still no EU with JB?

I know many people have moved on to other devices, or JB. Wondering if there is still no known instance of someone getting the EU bug on JB. I'm still on ICS and no EU bug, but concerned I'm taking a risk and maybe should go to a JB ROM :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] s0ul_ali:
As far as I know, no one has reported this bug on JB. If not 100% safe but much safer then ICS. When this bug start hitting people on ICS the thread was flooded with peoples, but now you can see its pretty calm :)

Man, that's disappointing to hear. :confused:

What was the last rom (& cwm version if you recall) to wipe /data partition? Just curious if it was a JB rom and/or CWM6.
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:
it was aokp 4 and recovery that comes wiht it might want to check the aokp jb thread by sixstring for better specifics. but i did get glitch to finally install and now im stuck in encryption still. i went back to stock gb while ago and went to jb aokp and dont think i even reinstalled ics. that is what puzzles me

EDIT: i just relized what you wrote and i havent wiped anything but userdata and cache. i did notice that i can the intire 1.8gb of app space from aokp 3 to 4 but that is it but i dont think that aokp4 (jb) wipe data might be wrong

if anyone could remember how to or contact designgears and see if he does remember how to recovery from when cognadian bacon fried the sd card in a similar way. i it was fried and everything lost and did something to get it working again. congadian bacon was a rom based of a leaked rogers froyo. it fried sd cards and wiped them and wouldnt even mount them. i remember it so well becuase i lost the photos to my sister's wedding but that is the risk of my flash addiction
[Captivate Android Development] matmanchu5:
this is probably off the current topic, but from reading the last few post im thinkin it may be possible to get my cappy in working condition again. I am currently without my efs folder, due to an earlier version of slimrom. I got hit with the eubug, was able to resurrect using slim rom and semaphore partitioning sd and editing vstab, camera working even on jbslimrom.

All that said odin will flash only kernels, so I am unable to return to stock, using odin or heimdall, which would im sure solve my efs problems. So if I may ask how, if at all can I get back my efs folder without using odin or heimdall. Can I just flash a stock rom through cwm? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

[Captivate Android Development] TheSchatz:
Point of interest, my SD card came back for a day earlier this week after a data wipe. It disappeared later due to me being without my computer and needing to reflash my rom/get the phone working again, but the fact that it could appear and disappear like that says to me it is by no means gone forever!

I have no idea what caused it to show up again, but for what it's worth I was one who HIT THE RESET BUTTON when I got the EU screen originally. The one thing that was thought to screw us over forever is no longer a permanent thing!

I'll be testing and trying to repeat this for the next few weeks, and I'll report back if it happens again. All files were visible in recovery, but phone wouldn't boot.

I guess I just wanted to let you all know not to give up and to keep looking for solutions, because this may not be as permanent as we previously thought if it can show up like that.
[Captivate Android Development] Boraltis:
So, this finally happened to my old Cappy. It's working again. Here's my experience:

I rebooted the thing like 15 times with no SIM or MicroSD in. Same EU error screen every time. So I tried a factory reset/data wipe. CWM froze as soon as I selected it. Tried a dirty flash of Doc's V12. EU error. Booted back into CWM and went into advanced. Formatted Cache, Data, DataData and System. Wiped Dalvik. Flashed MIUI. Phone is operational like it never happened. So far, anyway. Hope this helps someone. :)
