My Captivate got the reset problem and lost the internal card, a couple of weeks later, the battery died and when I turned it on, the internal card was there again. I didn't do anything but here's what happened.

I started from a CM7 Mubi ROM (don't remember the kernel) and I flashed Infinitum 2.2 (CM9) with 3.1.10_IcyGlitch

v14-b6-I896-I897. Then I pressed Reset and lost the card. I flashed Mubi again before realizing it wasn't gonna do anything so I flashed Infinitum 2.2 again.

I applied the solution from the Encryption Guide:

I used my phone relatively normal for a few days. At this point, I'd been using 2 Chinese extended batteries that kept dying sometimes after a couple of hours of use, sometimes if the phone was shaken. So a few days ago, the phone died the same way as always, it was dead for several hours, maybe 8-12 but less than 24.

When I turned on the phone, I kept getting 'Unfortunately X program has stopped' for many apps and half my widgets weren't there. So I decided to flash Infinitum LBR (but didn't yet). When I connected the phone to the computer, I saw both cards so I disconnected the phone and realized that both cards were now available, that would be the 3 partitions:

1) Internal Storage 1.85GB

2) USB Storage 13.03GB

3) SD Card 12.92 GB

From the File manager I see:

1) Home>mnt>emmc (which is also shown as Home>emmc, the files are the same)

2) Home>sdcard

I flashed Infinitum LBR and both cards were still there.

SOME of the new apps are installed on mnt/sdcard/android/data

On mnt/emmc I see some of the same folders with older dates (I assumed they're from their previous installation before the reset problem occurred) but I also see newer folders (from today and yesterday).

I don't know which folders are installation files and which are just data. korockinout13 asked if I could access /data, I can but it's empty.

Sorry if I'm not clear enough, I'm still confused.

Edit 1: Dunno if this is relevant but I'll post it just in case.

It seems that both the OP in Encryption Unsuccessful - Fixed and me had battery issues. In my case, my batteries just died randomly but I was able to charge them. My batteries are still crapping out but they last longer.

Edit 2: One thing I forgot to mention is that the vold file doesn't look like above, it looks like this:

Update 2012-05-30: I noticed that with an app like Headset Button Controller, my profiles aren't saved for good. I mean, they are for a few days (even after removing the battery) and all of sudden, the profiles are gone. I'd used the app for months without any problem until the cards issue so it might be related. I'll email the dev just in case.​

Thank you for sorting out all the info, the original thread is now way too lengthy to read.

Although I have a new phone now, I do want to get all the photos and messages in my internal SD back:o
[Captivate Android Development] aaronwe:
ROM: Slim ICS 3.6

Kernel: Semaphore 1.1.1sc

When the error happened: 7pm central, 05/18/12. A few minutes prior, I was running a game called Word Off. That was the only new app I'd installed that day. I'd been on SlimICS/Semaphore for about a month prior.

How the error happened: Pulled phone out of my pocket, saw an unfamiliar animation on the screen (it looked like a horizontal gray bar, cycling -- possibly a dark Slim ICS boot screen). Phone was unresponsive. Pulled the battery and rebooted. Got the Encryption Unsuccessful screen on reboot, and I pushed the Reset Phone button (sorry -- hadn't seen this thread yet).

The steps taken to reproduce/resolve the issue: It appears CWM is mounting my external SD card as /sdcard, and can't mount anything as /emmc. I'm 90% sure that's backwards, but don't know why it would be happening. (Or maybe that's normal in this situation and I just haven't seen it yet.)

I can mount the external SD card just fine on USB using CWM and transfer files to it.

Now I'm rebooting without the external SD several times to see if that fixes it. Assuming it doesn't, I'm going to do a Heimdall or Odin flash to CM7 or stock and go from there.

Any suggestions or other things I should try in the name of science?

UPDATE: Formatted my (external) SD card using CWM. Installed Slim 3.7 and we're back in business. Using the vold.fstab hack from here to remap. This seemed much faster than doing a full Heimdall or Odin wipe, and I don't really need both internal and external SD cards anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] killmastern3:
ROM: Cyantablet 9

Kernel: The one that comes with the ROM

When the error happened: 18/5. Had been using GB MIUI.

How the error happened:Flashed to Cyantablet 9 and in the first boot i got the encryption message. I pressed the reset button. It rebooted into that android symbol and after like 10 seconds it rebooted again into the ROM. I immediately tried accessing my SD cards and both internal and external are working fine.

Samsung Vibrant

ROM: AOKP B36

Kernel: Glitch kernel which comes with AOKP

When the error happened: 5/19

How the error happened: Phone was just sitting and saw dimmed boot animation. Reboot took me to EU error screen. I didn't press reset. Did a few battery pulls, reboots but nothing. Internal SD was not accessible. A few hours prior to the error, i had the phone connected to PC (NO MTP, rom had mass storage mode but it was not mounted at the time), i applied a theme chooser theme and rebooted while phone was still plugged in (have done it 100s of time before). After the reboot i unplugged the phone and i saw USB icons were still there in status bar. I plugged the cable and then unplugged it again and they went away. EU error happened a little bit later. Another thing to note, i was not using any external card for a while.

The steps taken to reproduce/resolve the issue: I reflashed the rom but same error. I then odin'd back to jfd eclair 2.1 (common way on our vibrant to back to stock) but it did not boot. It would show vibrant logo and would then turn off. I flash Eugene's froyo JK2 i think and it booted into OS. Wifi and all the apps were there as they should be in that rom but no internal SDcard accessible. I tried jfd again but nothing. After that all sorts of rom with same result. Also tried to let battery die by playing youtube videos when i flashed froyo and then i left it untouched for about 20 hours but no change.

Very similar situation as above, had just flashed to b36 from milestone 5.

Haven't had a chance to repartition through Odin as I am away from home and only have my netbook. A viable workatound may be an a2sd init.d hack or complete initram change for affected devices.

Not quite the same, the problem I mean, that user saw himself unable to use ICS roms. Captivate phones stop having a functional sdcard altogether.

Still worth the shot though, no doubt.

[Motorola Photon 4G] BAleR:
So.... What is the best ROM to get for this phone? or Most stable/fastest?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Toney Starks:
Stock
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
No one rom is best for everyone, we all have different likes. There are many ics roms available. They are not perfect, but they are definitely good enough for daily use though. Imperium rom is very nice and good theme. For me, my favorite is 2.3.5 hybrid cm7/beblur. Very fast smooth and everything works. Very minimalist so you can add the apps that you like. Peetr did a great job with this. It also depends if you are unlocked or not. Rocko and Imperium have some locked versions. There are some older sudo roms for locked, you just have to search a little, can't remember them just now. And there is a deblur script for locked phones from loki. Try them all, great development work going on here! But fastest and most stable for me = 2.3.5 hybrid cm7 /beblur

Sent from my hybrid 2.3.5. Cm7/deblur Mopho
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
My vote would have to be cybiks cm7 if you're goin for a good mix of speed, stability, and customization. But like Bricky said, it depends on you're needs.
[Motorola Photon 4G] BAleR:
OK, yes I understand it's all about trying them out. I'm just a little short on time so I was hopin for exactly this. One question though, the phone is rooted and unlocked, got clockwork 5.0?? Don't remember exactly but its the newest one. v3 I think? anyway, So if I were to try the hybrid 2.3.5 would it be rooted and all that? I thought I read somewhere that those roms wherent rooted?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bricky23:
Yes pre rooted. Make sure you choose the hybrid. When it comes to 2.3.5 you have to be careful what you install.

Question is though if it's that serious because there are possibilities the plane can go down, than how the hell does the plane lift off when there cell phone radio towers emitting radio frequencies. Seriously though they should just give some sort of explanation for what I also feel is stupid.

[Epic 4G General] squshy 7:
Lol well I suppose I'll drop a little truth in here...

My stepmother used to be a flight attendant. The REAL reason why they ask you to turn off electronic devices is so that all the passengers are not distracted during take off or landing should something happen that would require the flight crews attention.

It actually makes a lot of sense. If no one is talking on the phone or listening to music, then a passenger could spot something, like smoke coming out of a turbine or such.
[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
While squshy has it partially right, there are real electronics issues as well. I work with aircraft certified electronics and have talked with the engineers that do the actual certification. The FAA would like you to believe your device could bring down the aircraft if you don't turn it off, and while it's theoretically possible, it's totally improbable.

The real reason is your device could have a design that unintentionally spews EMI, which could interfere with communications or radar and lead to a collision if airtraffic control cannot communicate with the pilots. Radios by their very nature cannot be shielded from interference like the local avionics can.

Certified for flight devices have to go through thousands of hours of very expensive tests for every version of hardware to ensure they do not emit any EMI in the range that would affect avionics or communications. There is simply no way to know if your device will emit harmful EMI even in airplane mode. I know it sucks, but just turn it off or end up like Alec Baldwin.
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Makes sense, at first and I've heard that b4 also. Not true though. If it where, they'd make you put down the papers, magazines and books.
[Epic 4G General] akenis:
Dwyw42 pretty much said it all. I fly every week to get to work and back and it is a hassle to obey the 10,000 laws. They even stress that "airplane mode" is not acceptable.... shut it down!!

How much compliance is there with that? What a joke! Think of all the kindle's, laptops, ipads etc that are is standby/screen off mode. How about watches? Electronic Razors? Electronic Toothbrushes? What is the interference caused when operating a Norelco model 2459S and a Samsung S3 in Direct Conect mode? No one knows and the permutations and combinations of so many different devices is why it's just easier to shut them down. It would be impossible to test/approve each device.

That said. When I get to work, and while working I frequently have a kindle, laptop, nook and phone that are not fully powered off.... and I'm a pilot! And to make you feel comfortable, I will also say that I try to not text and drive!
[Epic 4G General] orlzzt:
Anything dealing with in-flight rules seems absurd. Why do you have to put your seat back all the way forward??? Don't tell me that, after falling 30,000 feet, the 1/4 of an inch recline is going to block the person behind me from escaping...
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Its so stupid why should we abide by some law that another human made unless its proven that it affects the plane in anyway its not worth it. Just like weed, it was here it was grown from day 1 on earth so why is it that they make it illegal because it affects you and they think it affects you in a bad way, and to them its a drug which is not true drugs have chemicals,etcc... **** done to things in order to get that drug. Weed is a plant and it grows from mother earth.

This could go on and on but its not worth it.

I mean honestly I put my phone on airplane mode and close it wait till after were in the air the attendant says its okay to use em
[Epic 4G General] ranger4740:
Interesting, so much attitude about "stupid laws" crying why can't I use my electronic devices, well, as a serious radio enthusiast (CB, ham radio, scanning, anything to do with radio) I know a hell of a lot about radio and what electronics can do to disrupt radio receivers. Think about this before saying anything more about how stupid the law is about using electronic equipment on an airplane, a lot of the radio equipment on a flight, especialy long haul international flights rely heavily on HF RADIO, as a hammy, I can tell you that HF RADIO is the worst radio system to pick up radio interference from electronic devices. This interference is caused by spurious harmonics, NOT ALL electronic equipment is clean, it ALL emits some kind of signal and HF RADIO will pick it up, so think of this, an aircraft is being called by ground control half way across the Atlantic, and you got that crappy Chinese made hand held device putting out 60db of spurious harmonics across the entire HF BAND the pilot of the plane your on can't here that another plane is headed right for yours. Well you get the idea.

[Epic 4G General] mrkool44:
missing the point

I think all of you are missing the point of "turn cell phones off" rule on airlines.

Obviously, it has little to do with "interference" with airplane electronics.

The main reason is your safety.

Yes, that's right...it's for your own good to turn off electronic devices.

Why?

Imagine this rule did not exist and people were allowed to use their phones (even airplane mode lets say).

What happens when there is an emergency / crash situation ? You got 200 people playing video games / watching movies / listening to music .

And you got a voice on the intercom trying to give you directions that could save YOUR life.

but...you are too busy with your "electronic gadget" and you did not HEAR or did not LISTEN ,

and you end up missing critical crew member instructions that could potentially save your life.

That's the main reason for this rule.

/thread
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
They want you to turn it off so that you can save battery in case the plane goes down and you need those precious percents to figure what part of the world your screwed in using gps. DUH guys... but in all seriousness to the people that are saying "its a rule, just follow it." You're what's wrong with this country. You're why America's turning into a police state. Always ask. Else we'd still have slavery, male only voting, segregation, etc. Think of what our country would be if people hadn't though "is this right?"
[Epic 4G General] schnowdapowda:
Please dude I doubt they could say anything about the plane going down that wouldn't cause the entire plane to go ape****. And besides.. the only thing you can do in that event is what they tell you to pre-flight.
[Epic 4G General] dwyw42:
Below 10,000 feet, the aircraft is still in the flight pattern of the airport and using the ILS ground stations for navigation. This means they need to receive navigation information from ground beacons and voice instructions from the tower. If a device happens to be dumping EMI on the frequencies these receivers operate on, they might miss crucial information that could cause an accident. And being in the flight pattern means the planes are relatively close to other planes taking off or landing.
[Epic 4G General] mrkool44:
Your logic is flawed.

If there is a chance lives could be saved by implementing these rules, there must be such a rule.

You cannot say with 100% certainty "only thing you can do in that event is what they tell you to pre-flight."

However, I can say that there is a greater than 0% chance that having this rule will save lives at some point between now > infinity.

For example:

There could be a scenario where a certain part of the aircraft is damaged and the only way to exit is being announced by the pilot. This may not be in your pre flight instructions.

Don't you think you would want to give your 100% undivided attention in this situation?
[Epic 4G General] Stringyquark:
It won't bring the plain down, terrorists would be bringing a bunch of cell phones instead of underwear bombs.

beside some of the reasons mentioned here i have a coworker that works for delta, like the 1 in 1000 chance of a crossed connection when making a call with a land line, there have been a few occasions he's heard of from pilots where cell phones have interfered with communications with ground control.

don't think it's true anymore but on much older cell phones you could connect to multiple cell towers, don't think that is an issue anymore.

ever set your cell phone next to a non-shielded speaker? once you hear the sound of emi from a cell, you'll hear it everywhere. ahhh the buzz pop pop pop sound of an incoming call before the phone rings.

and since takeoff and landings are where a great majority of airline accidents happen i'll give them the 5 to 10 minutes.

great discussion, maybe we could find a pilot to give us his view.
[Epic 4G General] tkoreaper:
The reason for the rule is because it had been known to interfere with the equipment on the plane in the past which obviously isn't the case these days, but they choose to keep the rule simply because there's always new technology and they'd rather be safe than sorry.

It really isn't a big deal, just turn it off... it takes you 5 seconds max. Once you reach 10,000 feet you can turn it back on which is only a few minutes after takeoff.
[Epic 4G General] psyop1:
This is absolutely correct, and started with the 800 mhz band. Because they still can't anticipate the full impact, they've kept the rule. Read about it here: http://www.faa.gov/news/fact_sheets/news_story.cfm?newsid=6275
