Yup he is rite revert back to stock with odin and check the repartion box not sure how u had it happen to u but I had to do the same when. I messed up formatting my emmc from my PC but this will fix it u have to reroot and all that happy fun stuff but at least it should get u back up and running
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamieaxall:
Thanks for all the support guys. Looks like I should have stayed up a little later. :)

I'm downloading the stock stuff now and I'll see how that goes.

@pirateghost- I can get the ROM on and flash through the sdcard, but the external card won't mount through CWM. It's also having different issues once I am running the ROM (Gallery not showing images, but showing music... weird stuff). I'm not totally effed, but I would like to have my access back.

That's if I understand your suggestion.

Thanks again guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamieaxall:
I'm back to stock, but I cannot get odin to run when I have repartition checked...

I either get the red square that says "fail" or it hangs on 'SetupConnection'

I'm trying the one-click method creepyncrawly posted here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313659

update: Nope- still can't mount the \emmc\ partition.

Thanks again guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] oddspec:
Ugg sounds like it mite be corrupt if odin won't partion it sorry I'm at a loss here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
Pretty sure a pit file is needed for repartitioning
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamieaxall:
Well, I found one in creepyncrawly's signature but I'm hesitant to use it...

(If I did use it though, would I throw it in the .tar file and change the .ini file for odin?)

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

I'm not sure all hope is lost.

I think that I just have a limited understanding of the situation...

So I'm back to the stock ROM and the gallery app picks up the photos on my sd card. Not only that, but esfile explorer says that there is a /sdcard/external_sd/ path and allows me access to it. Plays music and all that stuff. Pretty cool, huh?

So at that point (last time and the time before that) I was tempted to root, which I did using zedomax/odin. All went fine, but that's when I lost access to the external card. Again.

Weird.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
Damn man, you havent searched this forum at all have you?

zedomax's **** is not liked around here. no wonder you had issues. wanna post here and ask questions here, dont use **** from other sites. Tho that should be a no brainer to most.

You were already answered about the kernal thing, we have two kernals that switch sdcard locations.

This time, follow the guides here, and read. all IS answered
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jamieaxall:
K. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] skatin707:
Damn man, why are you upset over this? Clearly someone new is in need, why turn them away with hostility? Why not point them in the right direction?

I don't see the point of being abrasive in situations like this, what gain is there to be had?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
I've tried almost everything to my knowledge. I'm trying to use the instructions on HTCdev.com and when i get to the last page where I type in "fastboot oem get_identifier_token all that returns is <waiting for device>. USB debugging is enabled, I'm in charge only mode, I've uninstalled HTC sync after installing the drivers. I have the SDK tools installed and in the correct location. What the hell else could it be? I'm at my wits end here and looking for any help I can get.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Marshmellow92:
lol. wrong section. but anyways. you need to be in bootloader.. power down. take off battery and put it back. then hold power and volum down till you go to bootloader. then enter fastboot. plug your phone in and you should see. fastboot usb. and then start the unlock process again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
I'm PMing you...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
I apologize for posting in the wrong section, I didn't realize I had posted it here, but instead of saying "fastboot USB" when plugged into the computer, it says "fastboot AC" does that make any difference?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 0anth:
Did you manage to get this sorted? You should be in the bootloader (which is in the HTCDev.com instructions)...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Your phone thinks its connected to a charger instead of a USB cable. Try changing cables or USB ports.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
I think its the pc I'm using...I tried every USB port, Ill have to wait til I can get another laptop since the one I'm using is my moms and it just sucks to put it plainly. -_-
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jenkem110:
Are you using the micro usb cable that came with the phone? I had a longer cord that wouldn't work and only showed as ac charging, not usb charging.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
Yeah I'm using the stock cable.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
Have you tried another USB port?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
Yes I tried all of them Idk ill try it again when I have access to another pc.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ronnie498:
Maybe your best option to try another pc
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] anghellic:
I finally got it working. I ended up trying a Kodak USB cable and it's the only one that would work correctly. Problem Solved!

Glad you have got it to work
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Hi guys

So I did a restore on my note using the volume up/power restore method, and it worked fine, but then I decided to go back to my later version which I backed up before restoring to the earlier one, and now it sits on the 'samsung galaxy note gt-n7000' screen.

I downloaded the correct firmware from samfirmware, and a .pit, and used heimdall to do a recovery (I have a macbook) and it hasn't made any difference.

any suggestions?

yours glumly

Robsa
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] devwithzachary:
Did the firmware flash fine?

And can you still access download mode / recovery?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
Which rom where you restoring and from what rom?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Hi guys

I was running ice cream sandwich after an ota update, then I rooted it and installed franco r5 kernal via CMW.

I backed up using CMW then today a week later I backed up using the backup/resotre option you get when doing vol up/power/home

I went back to my original backup which worked, but then decided I wanted to go back to my current set up, which is when it stopped working.

I downloaded the firmware for the irish/uk n7000 N7000XXLQ2_EULP4_XEU and the 16meg pit from the site as well.

I selected 'restore' in heimdall and chose 'repartition' and the .pit I had downloaded and the firmware I downloaded. Heimdall said it had done it all ok but it sits on the boot screen, then goes blank after 10-15 seconds, then the boot screen reappears and stays there.

ETA .pit file was: N7000_I9220_Q1_20110914_16GB.pit and I cannot access recovery, just the volume down reset to use Heimdall :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
OK, try to flash a stock gb with heimdall. If it gets stuck, let us know at which point ie factoryfs.img

Usually if a rom flash gets stuck at Samsung logo, wiping cache and dalvik cache will let it proceed.

Using a pit file should always be a last resort as its a risky process.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Sorry, I'm a noob at this - only had the phone 13 days!

I have already used Heimdall to flash recovery and .pit and it said it all worked fine. The screen showed a green bar transferring the files and then it restarts, only to sit there on the boot screen again...

So what do you mean about flashing a stock GB? Is that not what I have already downloaded?

-R
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Okay, I have located the firmware for gingerbreas 2.3.6 on samfirmware and I'm downloading that.

I assume I just factory restore using the same .pit and the 2.3.6 as before? Think it will work?

Otherwise I will have to take it back to the shop tomorrow and tell them its not working :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
You don't need a pit file, that's just for repartitioning the chip in extreme circumstances, should only be used for emergencies.

Just flash the gb rom (which contains 3 files, rom, csc and modem). I haven't used heimdall myself so can't advise on setup. Once flashed let me know if it worked or not and if not where it got stuck.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Thanks ST

Heimdall makes you locate a .pit file before you can select the firmware. It then gives you the options:

BOOT

EFS

SBL1

SBL2

PARAM

RECOVERY

CACHE

MODEM

FACTORYFS

DATAFS

UMS

HIDDEN

GANG

KERNEL

So I chose 'Recovery'. most of the others wont let you choose the .tar.md5 file, then mainly ask for either a .bin file or a .img file. KERNEL lets me select it with the .tar.md5 firmware though.

So I will just try RECOVERY again, this time using the 2.3.6 firmwares, not the 4.0.3?

Sorry, I don't mean to act thick! :) it doesn't help using Heimdall because there is so little online about how to use it compared to ODIN

R
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
OK. Again, I'm not sure as never used it, so you may want to get some confirmation on this before accepting my response.

If you unzip the gb tar file with 7zip, you'll expose those files, cache.img, zimage (kernel), boot.bin, modem.bin, sbl.bin,factoryfs.img, hidden.img, param.lfs

Perhaps try to allocate each of these to the corresponding section and flash that if recovery option doesn't work.

Is there any reason you choose heimdall over Odin? Are you a Mac user?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
when I try to manually upload Kernel, Cache, FactoryFS, Hidden and Modem it does the kernel but falls over at the cache saying:

"ERROR: Failed to confirm end of file transfer sequence! CACHE upload failed!"

what does that mean then?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Okay, so it looks like pretty much all the parts are failing in Heimdall - factoryFS, cache etc. Kernel copied Ok, but all the others return some sort of error.

I have tried both GB and ICS, both fail at the same-ish point in factoryFS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ssss69:
Sorry youre bricked
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
so back to the shop tomorrow then I guess? :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ian577416:
No you're not. Find a friend with a PC and load up Odin. Give that a whirl before declaring defeat. Odin and heimdall are similar but not identical.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
+1 for this. Odin is really simple. Make sure samsung drivers are installed on pc (can just load kies). Run odin as administrator, put the phone in download mode (volume down, power and select button held down until it reboots into download) connect to PC, Odin will change to yellow colour if connection good, then all you do is point to the tar file in "pda" and it will sort out all the partitions for you. Really simple. Don't need any pit or repartitioning.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
sounds sweet if only I had a PC.... thanks for all your help guys :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
I think I've finally sorted it! Just restoring ICS now.

The way I fixed it was this:

Download Heimdall 1.3.1 (NOT 1.3.2) and flashed HIDDEN, KERNEL, CACHE, MODEM - FACTORYFS wouldnt flash.

she is restoring now and I pray all will be well

fingers crossed!

BUT now I stupidly went and flashed a non-genuine kernel so I have a yellow triangle :(

Can I use Triangle Away do you think?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Okay, now I can get both reset screens but still stuck on boot screen. What do I need to do now?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] musashiro:
I suggest you use odin first.. if you still can't flash factoryfs, your emmc is toasted...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
I have restored from my memory card and it's saying "failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)"

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] neerajganga:
try flashing stock rom
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
is it safe for me to select 'wipe data/factory reset'?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpyderTracks:
If you're on stock ics then no, if not then yes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ryn888:
Same as mine. Lucky me i have my warranty. They changed my Motherboard already.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
So hi guys - back again! I now have Odin set up, but its freezing still trying to add factoryfs - it just sits there doing nothing with the green bar showing a tiny sliver and thats it.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ssss69:
Youre bricked, i told it to you yesterday

Try to use a modified pit file that restructs the emmc
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Robsa:
Well, thanks to everyone with their suggestions - in the end I returned it to the shop as I couldn't get it to do anything. They didn't say anything about the yellow triangle - barely even looked at the phone to be honest.

They didn't have any new ones in stock so I am picking up an S3 on tuesday now instead. Hope I've made the right choice!

Anyone know if it's okay to flash Hash's latest kernel update over gederom 1.55? I've been underwhelmed with newer versions and other roms I've tried. 1.55 is the smoothest and fastest version and ROM I've tried.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovejoy777:
yes fine just wipe delvik/cache and flash then i always wipe delvik again, reboot (always do a full backup first.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
Hello there,

I have been following and reading these forums for years but today I finally decided to post something. After reading about the ban on Nexus devices, I went online today very early and bought my own. I'm frankly very tired of the way Microsoft has been dealing with its WPhone platform and after reading what Jelly Bean brings to the table for Android, I'm hooked up!

As this is going to be my first Android phone I would appreciate any comments or insights you guys could provide me with.

Thanks for your time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ap3604:
As a brand new android / nexus owner the main thing you need to know is that Apple is the devil and to hate everything about them :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I'm also in the same boat. I'm not sure whether to get either the HTC One X, LG Optimus 4X HD or the Galaxy Nexus. I dont care about updates as I use custom roms. Or shall I wait for a quad core Nexus phone?

P.s. the phones in my signature are review devices so I have tried the Nexus and One X... just need insight :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
When you first get the phone. Unlock the bootloader (search the forums on how to do it). After that, enjoy the phone and look around the Play Store for apps that you may like. There are a lot of apps to look around from.

The reasoning behind unlocking the bootloader (first thing) is because if you DO decide to root and flash custom ROMs after you already set your phone up. You can back up your apps / data whereas if you want to root/flash... you'll have to unlock bootloader (which will wipe everything).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
Thanks!

I was really pissed yesterday night after knowing about the injunction on the Galaxy Nexus phones!

Also, when it comes to my previous experience with MS/Windows Phone 7 this is what I have to say:

ATT and their update schedule sucks. Do yourself a favor and never buy a phone from them, especially if it's Android or Wp7. You will never see timely or meaningful updates for your phone.

Lack of Swype. Swype is a very sweet technology that we don't get to enjoy in the Wp7 platform. I mean, symbian and meego have swype! Wp7 don't have anything but a very crappy kb and and ****ty autocorrect. I was also very tired of dealing with that.

Lack of over the air updates. Seriously MS? I still have to connect my phone to zune and update that way? Not to mention that can only happen if ATT thinks I, as a customer, deserve to update my phone.

Lack of interesting/appealing apps. We all know how this is in Wp7.

Lack of interesting in keeping legacy devices updated. Which honestly happens with android as well, with the difference being that if you have an android phone, you have the chance of flashing a new rom/forcing the updates as the code is open source. Go try that with a Wp7 and see if it's that easy... NOT!

No custom ring tones still, really... after more than two years? Give me a goddamn break!

And franky, there's more, a lot more, but those are things I can think of right away.

*sighs*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
I was excited about quad core phones and so on until I read what Intel had to say on android not being optimized to deal with dual/quad cores. The hardware is there, ready to ship with multiple cores. However, according to intel (they have been developing their own android phones), android as it is right now isn't optimized to take advantage of multiple cores. Maybe in the next major release of the OS that won't be an issue anymore, but as it is right now the software isn't ripe enough to do that. So, in my case, I decided to save a few bucks and buy the galaxy nexus for 350 from google. Maybe in the future when the software is up to par with the hardware I will consider a quad core android phone.

:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pjodor:
If you want to unlock the bootloader go and find the thread about toolkit 7,it is verkligen easy to use.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
I definitely will once I receive the phone next week. Although I think I will be using the official rom more often than not, unless I find something better out there =)

Thanks for all the helpful advice guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
The thing is I cant change my phone until i raise enough money... so surely going ahead of the game is better? Is there going to be a new Nexus out this year?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
No one is really quite sure. Some people argue that the Nexus 7 was the "nexus device of the year" while others say that there will be multiple nexii being released in Q4 of this year (each from different manufacturers). So to sum up... nobody really knows for sure! But, Google has a history of releasing one Nexus phone a year, and so companies tend to follow their previous trends. Now whether it'll have a new or updated OS (4.2, 5.0) is a whole 'nother story...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
WP7 has one of the best keyboards on the market that is arguably rivals iPhone keyboard. But I agree with the other points you listed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks. If i buy the GN, would it be classed as "outdated". I know all phones get outdated but I don't wanna get a outdated (specswise) phone. Its really tough... thanks for your reply, gotta thank this now. Btw sorry at @OP for thread jacking..

I am also gonna buy the Nexus 7 so that could be my Quad Core device... really stuck here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
SwiftKey X

@weeo: Galaxy Nexus isn't outdated in any form or shape. People may criticize that it's outdated because of core numbers.

But honestly... who needs a Quad Core? Is it nice to have? yeah... is it a necessity? not really.

Jelly Bean.... what's the first phone getting it? Galaxy Nexus... Is it really outdated? In hardware perspective, it may be somewhat outdated but not to the extent that it has NO hardware that it can't compete with other devices.

Software wise... Galaxy Nexus is more than relevant and it will stay this way for the next two years.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
FTW! I'm really happy with the Android 4.0 keyboard. Very predictive and I've heard 4.1 has a better keyboard :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Yeah I heard it does as well, but I never gave it a chance because I'm addicted to SwiftKey X.... also I modified my post about "Galaxy Nexus" being outdated :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
4.1 has the exact same vanilla keyboard as 4.0 had... nothing special or new that I can tell :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Bro that touched me right at the end. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pjodor:
Yes, SwiftKey X is really great, highly recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
You can use Ezekeel's app to unlock the bootloader without wiping.. it costs money and I've never tried it though. Also, you have to root it yourself afterwards.

Uhh, you have to keep in mind Intel is trying to sell their (at present, single-core) chips. They're not exactly an unbiased observer here.

The Nexus is still a good choice, however. It's now pretty cheap (though may not remain that way once the injunction sets in) and it'll be the first to get jellybean and project butter.

But, uh, I have to disagree with the other person here. The GN is a last-generation phone (not just in cores, but in stuff like camera, GPU) and, as such, it can be called "somewhat outdated".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
No prob. I'm happy you got some good advice here as well.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colts187:
It is outdated camera wise compared to a one x or gs3 camera, screen, and battery life. I don't have a problem giving those up for a phone that is never behind on updates. Developer support is absolutely top notch for the nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I've made the decision for the One X, if the dual core will be supported, then a quad core will too...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] barroco:
Hello there again.

Today I finally received my galaxy nexus and, honestly, I couldn't be happier. It really kicks the crap out of any windows phone I have used, including my old and reliable Samsung focus.
