[FIX] Data wipe error or Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

Data wipe error, Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1, or Vibrant screen boot loop even after flashing stock odin JFD phone will not boot. Phone will only boot Eugenes JK2 but internal and external storage will still list as corrupted and Lists 0.00 MB in storage.

Internal storage has been destroyed, I’ve been able to fix a phone using this technique to be mostly working. The external SD card will always have to be in the phone for this to work.

1. Partitioning the MicroSD Card

Get an 8gb(or larger) micro sd card. Class 10 would be better here. Put it into a Card Reader, then run Gparted.

Gparted (usb method is easiest) - http://gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php

Using Gparted, delete everything else and create 2 partitions and :

6000mb FAT32 as PRIMARY

1607mb(remainder) Reiser as PRIMARY

2. Flash to Stock

Open up Odin flash stock JFD with pit file and repartition checked.

After phone boots completely, power off.

3. Flashing CM9

Take MicroSD out of phone an put it in pc, then copy update.zip, GAPPS, Cyanogenmod Rom all to the FAT32 partition that we created earlier. In Windows it should show up where all of your drives are listed in.

update.zip (https://www.dropbox.com/s/ju5eg5ernxcaqpt/update.zip),

GAPPS (http://www.goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps...317-signed.zip)

CyanogenMod Rom Zip(http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/...mtd-signed.zip)

Enter recovery mode with volume buttons and power.

Reinstall packages twice.

Install zip from sd card select update-cm-9-20120520-nightly-vibrantmtd-signed.zip phone will boot loop on vibrant screen so take out the battery then enter recovery a second time installing the cm9 update again.

Then flash Gapps zip the same way.

When phone boots up camera, and gallery will not work until the next step.

4. Edit Vold.Stab file

Downlad ES File Explorer from play store.

Hit Menu button, settings, Check box for Root Explorer, Check box for mount file system, check box for Up to Root

Press Up once, you should now be at "/"

Open system directory, open etc directory, scroll to bottom and select Vol.fstab, select Text, Select ES Note Editor, update text to the following:

#internal sdcard dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0

#external sdcard dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2

After edits, click back and click yes to save changes. Exit out of es file explorer and restart phone. Post results:

Should work with any version of CM9, newer nightlies would obviously be preferred. Will make more detailed guide soon.

[HTC Inspire 4G] EShow:
Just flashed aospx on my Inspire, and I'm looking for a reputable kernel that optimizes both performance, but especially battery life (it's been horrible since flashing).

I'm also open to any other tips anyone may have for optimizing battery life while still maintaining smartphone-like functionality (I don't want to turn sync off, etc.). I also have my brightness low to help preserve battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
What rom is it? How long have you had the rom installed for ?
[HTC Inspire 4G] EShow:
aospX. Flashed it last night, took it off the charger and lost 50% after two hours.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
You may want to go back to existz rom forum and see if your able to use ice colds latest 9.8.8 bfs kernel.

http://blackice.omca.co.uk/download/icecoldsandwich/Kernels/
[HTC Inspire 4G] CYRAXDroid:
O are you talking about existz aospX ICS rom. Im on that one and Idk man I thought about switching out the kernel but they said to leave it maybe flash a radio to help out some signal and battery life. Now some members say that battery calibration is not necessarily but I do and I use this app to do so Idk for me it seems to do great. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...xLDEsImNvbS5uZW1hLmJhdHRlcnljYWxpYnJhdGlvbiJd

But I would say make sure did a full wipe when flashing a new rom unless otherwise I always do a full wipe when I flash.And I also do a wipe battery stats when I go to a new rom.

---------- Post added at 04:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:25 PM ----------

Thats what I wanted to do cause for me I do like flashing kernels but the members on that thread said to stay with it and honestly its actually a good set up. I never stick with the kernel that comes with it and this time I am. The latest BR3 on existz rom is frosted cherry..and BR2 was doughnut.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
Aospx kernel is for existz's aospx rom.

Lords kernel is for his aokp rom.

NO NEED to change kernels on existz's aosp rom.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidAR:
Hi all!

1)- My Note is stock and non rooted device (Korea). Some days back I already receive the ICS update via FOTA, download complete, installing, but after reboot the device show me a message some like (I not remember exactly):

"can´t install the firmware, try with Kies"

In first moment I entry in panic :S but after use the phone is all normal, now with ICS, and looking that all run perfect with 4.0.3.

2)- Also when connect now to Kies MacOS in firmware say:

"Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies."

Anyone receive a similar messages?

Thanks and regards!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Both of these issues are fairly common, I wouldn't worry.

Try updating your kies software and drivers on mac.

Make sure you read up on the superbrick bug in Stock ics, don't perform any factory resets or data wipes while on ics kernel.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidAR:
Thanks!

In stock? incredible, always we pay for a product that ever still in "beta" state :)

Thanks for the remark :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
No worries. Samsung are working with our devs on an updated kernel with the issue removed, hopefully it'll be released within a month.

[General Topics] BLiNKT:
hello i have one question how i can change style of my android phone i have cyanogenmod menu and style but i want keep cyanogenmod and only change visual style i look on google but cant find any tutorial

so do i must only change framework-res.apk and framework java or anything other:confused:
[General Topics] ruscan.calin:
It depends ...but seems to be complicated at this time I recommend you to use an online tool to change framework Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen

to change things from scratch use APK_Manager but

this is an advanced task

for people they develop a custom ROM so be careful every wrong entry in framework will result in an unusable phone -stuck at bootanimaton so take care about and do a nandroid backup before so you can restore your phone to a working status
[General Topics] BLiNKT:
what if I just change the framework-res.apk and systemui.apk for example,WP7 ROM v2.0 by jinavs to cyanogenmod 7.2 but in such a way so then would not work

i just want keep cyanogenmod and put style from WP7 ROM v2.0 by jinavs i want have cyanogenmod and windows phone 7 style or system ui
[General Topics] ruscan.calin:
I followed your posts here in fact you just want your own ROM but this is not as easy as you think you never find a complete-tutor "how to make a custom ROM" just because this is subject for a book and involves developer-level abilities (just look at that ROM -is made by a development team) keep things as simple as possible an find a ROM that meet your appropriate requirements you should be glad you have Cyanogenmod on your phone because not all people have this chance !

to get an answer to your question why not to post it on that ROM thread if you want answer put the right question in the right place

at least but not the last thing :I appreciate efforts to change/improve things:)
[GT540 Optimus General] darko94:
Hi guys, as we all know our GT540 isn't getting any younger and many of us are considering to buy a new phone.

So share your thoughts and hopes and please note the price(s) of your next phone(s) in retail store (not operator contract prices).

Also how much did GT540 cost when you bought it.

NOTE: You can use your country's currency but also include price in Euro (€) or US Dollar ($).

Example:

Candidates for next phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray or Neo V

Price: 200 EUR (about 250$)

GT540 price was 145 EUR (180$) when I bought it.
[GT540 Optimus General] snakkarike:
MY gt540 cost cost 7000 indian rupees that is 102.5500 eur

and i am planning on buying galaxy note 2
[GT540 Optimus General] ficko_98:
i bought my gt540 for 90 euros, and i want to buy htc desire s or hd or c, xperia ray, neo, neo v. :)
[GT540 Optimus General] darko94:
Here's a good site http://mobilnionline.com/ , i can't find cheaper phones than this in Serbia (that are completly legal, not decoded from other networks and with full guarantee). I bought mine GT540 on-line and it was shipped the next day (only 200 DIN shipping). You guys got your GT540 pretty cheap, although I got mine in December 2010.
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
I got mine for 160 € ...

maybe (hopefully) going for nexus
[GT540 Optimus General] darko94:
Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus or even Nexus One?
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
Galaxy nexus :D

Sent from my GT540 running CM7
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Andreas go with nexus!!! The sII has far better hardware but Samsung is a ***** when it comes to updates!
[GT540 Optimus General] TMinh:
I think I will buy a Windows Phone 8 device when it is released, may be a HTC :D But I also like an Android phone, HTC One X maybe :D
[GT540 Optimus General] darko94:
What's the price? For comparison over here is 377 EUR.
[GT540 Optimus General] SrkeeOSK:
my GT540 was 110€, now i have Huawei U8650 wich was 120€ :D
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
in germany only i9100G is available so "far better hardware" ? don't think so..

edit: some friends of mine have many problems with S2

also I like the design of Gnex more than S2 ;)

I'll check the internet in october i guess it will be ~ 320 €

Too bad i can't buy it on Play Store in Germany (in the USA you can't anymore too ...) it would be 399 $ / 300€
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
:O now that makes it different .... Gnex ftw!

[GT540 Optimus General] coto39:
I bought my gt540 a year and 4 months ago for u$s120

And i'm planning to buy a Galaxy Nexus in the next two months. The problem is that in my country don't exist operators who sell G.Nexus, so i have to buy it in Internet and costs the double (:O)... so i need to find somebody who can bring the phone to me from USA :/
[GT540 Optimus General] darko94:
Are there not any importers and stores in Argentina with Galaxy Nexus in stock?
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Shouldnt online be cheaper :O

Bought mine GT540 for 145$, and i'm about to buy now Galaxy S for the same price :victory:
[GT540 Optimus General] Pestplatte:
i got my gt 540 for 100€ (124$)

i dont have the money for a new phone now (but i need a bigger display urgently) but if i would buy one it would be the alcatel ot 991

has a 800 mhz cpu and a 4 inch display

it costs 120€

but i cant see any roms for it yet, so there will be no chance for it ;)
[GT540 Optimus General] Ziore:
Got mine like 1,5 year ago, cost me like $300. (True story)
[GT540 Optimus General] Weekend Offender:
mine too

im not planing to change phone yet :D this little guy does the job :P i will buy tablet instead :D
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Nexus 7 ?? :D (the price is very good :O)
[GT540 Optimus General] Weekend Offender:
Yes i know but i want larger screen :P I wanted vodafone smart tab 10.1 but my network operator doesn't have any more left :( Now i want Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 or Samsung galaxy tab 2 10.1 or asus eepad transformer :D
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Oh so you like the bigger ones :D The transformer series are very interesting! Too bad i cant get one myself..
[GT540 Optimus General] Weekend Offender:
Yes but they are very expensive :O i read yesterday about one and it cost 700euros that's about 700 $ :P i will get galaxy tab2 probably :D
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
yea galaxy tabs are awesome :D but i would go for nexus 7 too ;P

oh btw editing apps is quite easy ;) another reason to use android ;D
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Even after getting my "new" SII i have learnt a lesson. No matter how popular your phone is (my phone is always in the top few most popular devices list on the front page) you will eventually not get a upgrade you wish for.... well very sure no official update to jellybean for me but im sure cm10 will come and do its job.. next time (2 years to be exact) nexus here i come!
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
well i have big expectation for CM10; its gonna rock B-) you just have to wait some months ;D
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Pre alpha is already "out" they have a vid :D
[GT540 Optimus General] lars1216:
I bought my gt540 for €129 and i recently bought a One V for €289
[GT540 Optimus General] bataya:
~50 euro with 2year contract (300 minutes, 600sms, 600mb for 12euro/m), next probable some Sony or SE when my contract expire for max 100euro with contract or 250 without it. I have rule to never give more then 250 euro for phone.

little off topic

what u gays mean about huawei ascend g300 (1ghz, 4inch, 480x800, 5mpx camera, 2.5gb internal memory, android 2.3, 4.0 soon)?
[GT540 Optimus General] MauroG:
I'm thinking on a RAZR, hope RAZR MAXX is released worldwide when I'm changing! Got this GT540 at 2250 VEF that's about 350 ~ 400 USD! And now its at 900VEF, like 200 USD Dx! But no way, I want the razr, such a great phone and its like at 1000 USD or 4800 VEF!
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
I heard the MAXXX has extreme battery life!! But I also heard that its not hacker friendly....
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
thats why its called maxxx :D bootloader is locked, its a motorola.

4.0 is coming soon

edit: international version has a unlocked bootloader :P
[GT540 Optimus General] Weekend Offender:
well have developers found the way to unlock bootloader or not ? :D
[GT540 Optimus General] MauroG:
Well, its still one of the best choose, isnt it? Guess that with 1.2ghz x2 its not REALLY needed to get another custom rom, just root!
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
I went custom for my SII for better battery :o at least doubled the life
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
really doubled ? samsung isn't doing a good job anywhere regarding android software :P
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Of course..... 4.0 isnt really native to sII ... From my usage i get roughly 6 hrs plus on stock roms but on custom roms like cm9 with a custom kernel (i under clock and undervolt and all kinds of other stuff) i get 14 hrs?? :D:D
[GT540 Optimus General] MauroG:
Lol, i was talking bout the RAZR MAXX, u'd never have tp care about battery, atleast not 4 the same day!
[GT540 Optimus General] andreas__:
3300 mAh are more than enough ;) its for playing games and watching videos the whole day :P

PS: yesterday i was happy to see that my GT40 easily got over 7 hours of watching movies (soft-decoding) + much gaming + music + internet
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Haha mine is only 1650mAh .... I think there is a official 2000+ mAh battery for sale
[GT540 Optimus General] MauroG:
That'd be the perfect gift 4 some days, but now the battery isnt the worst, im used to quickly text back and do other things and its getting damn slow sometimes! What u think it could be a good next phone? Been thinkin of the Sii, Sii Skyrocket, RAZR or HTC VIVID, only the RAZR version is available on my country! :/
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
Hmm I though sky rocket was for USA AT&T??? ( not too sure)
[GT540 Optimus General] MauroG:
It originaly does, but i-ve seen its been seeled in my country by MercadoLibre which is like Amanzon 4 USA
[GT540 Optimus General] -Grift-:
hmm interesting :D The SII is a pure dual core beast, even now :D

I need help please!

I tried to downgrade my phone from using this guide:

thespicygadgematics.com/2012/06/downgrade-and-install-gingerbread-and.html

with the gb rom from here:

thespicygadgematics.com/2012/07/root-xperia-s-lt26i-without-unlock.html

I was on this part:

Enable fastboot mode by press and hold the volume down button and same time connect the phone to the PC via USB cable (differ from device to device)

I did it and it started flashing but suddenly it disconnected the phone and now it always displays the logo, goes back dark and so on!

What do I do now?? Please help me :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kalte:
First do the forced shutdown by holding power button + vol down. Then try to charge battery again, just plug it in, and try to flash again. If you can't get it to charge battery try flashing again hoping it will last long enough to finish the process.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Sirence:
Thanks for the reply! I did the voldown+power, then plug it into the computer and did a software reset with seus. Now everything is working again :)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rookx:
Hello all,

I've been running Eclipse 2.2 on 902 for some time and I've stubbornly refused to switch away from using bootstrap for all my backup needs, however, after reading enough about it I decided to give safestrap a try. I've had a little trouble with the process however and was looking for a little clarity...

My understanding with safestrap was that in addition to giving me a safe (technically unsafe) 2nd partition/access to recovery in case I messed something up, that it would also pretty easily transfer data, apps, etc from one partition to the next, making flashing roms (and I thought updating) much easier and quicker without needing to backup individual portions of my system, Is this correct or am I mistaken?

Onward to what I did (my goal is to update to 905 and install eclipse 3.0) - Installed safestrap, backed up safe and unsafe side. I then went to unsafe and used bootstrap to restore to IMMEDIATELY after I applied the 902 update (had backed it up previously). This backup was literally a stock Bionic which I had updated from 886 all the way to 902, rooted, then installed bootstrap to backup. I then updated this to 905 with no issue, and of course backed it up... From here, my understanding was that I could simply swap over to safe side, then install the eclipse 3.0 through finding a zip in recovery - Recovery would not do this for me. It gave me an error similar to "cannot apply eclipse3.0.zip (bad)"

I tried to push the ROM both without making any changes (just switching from unsafe to safe and immediately trying to apply the zip) and when that didn't work I wiped data, formatted system, and wiped cache/dalvik and got the same error. (the net result through all of this was making my safe side non-responsive, and me ending up restoring safe side system to the initial backup I had made about 30 minutes prior).

Is this working as intended? Should I look at safestrap as purely an extra failsafe to keep me from bricking my phone and not an easier method to flash/update? If I have to expect that I need to go to safe, follow the same path to apply the update as I did on unsafe, then flash 3.0 and restore with titaniumbackup, sms/call log backup, etc, I will, but I just wanted to make sure I'm not misunderstanding something with safestrap that may allow me to make this whole process easier - I'd be much more interested in trying out a variety of ROMs if the restoring of my data wasn't such a hassle when I did it.

Sorry for the long post - I'm long winded and also wanted to get all of the information out there for anyone who may answer.

Thanks in advance!

-Jamie
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Rookx:
Guess I was too wordy and nobody wants to read it (or posted in the wrong spot maybe) -

tldr:

Is there a way to use safestrap as having a way to easily transfer data etc from one rom/update to the next? or should I be using it solely to have an extra backup to prevent me from bricking my phone, and just do the longer more arduous methods of restoring data and settings after a rom swap/update?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] G-diddy:
I'm no expert but I have successfully used Safestrap, installed eclipse 3.0 as well as tried other roms and themes, and have other Android experience as well. Sounded like you may have used bootstrap and Safestrap at the same time. Am I wrong? If not, from my understanding that is a no no. Uninstall bootstrap completely and use Safestrap only. I also upgraded my "unsafe" system to .905 via OTA before attempting 3.0. My first experience with Safestrap, however, was not entirely positive either. I think my download was corrupt because it stopped working correctly. I downloaded again and haven't had any problems since. I followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455888 and it worked. He's not really all that clear at times. It's also not necessary to factory reset after flashing a new rom. Always do it, but it can be done before too. I always do it before and have no problems. Also if you decide to apply a theme make sure you boot up the new ROM before flashing the theme. This guide was not entirely clear on that and it got stuck in a wicked boot loop that ended with me on stock and Safestrap gone. Keep trying. Hope some of this helped. I'm wordy too:)
