I have follow the step but still cannot fix it :(
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] issobuddy:
Basically supersu need root access to update its binary, but since it is broken, it need help root acces provided by superuser. Btw have you clear cache and dalvik too?
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] backdream_liu:
I guess you have reinstalled the superSU, it will delete su bin.

Now, you really need to flash the rom again and do the fix step by step.

You can only have 7x7 when using the stock dpi, if your rooted and want to try tablet ui you can have 10x10 by changing the dpi to anythingg less than 170.
[Galaxy Tab General] compuser84:
ChrisCTX, great write up, thanks! I have a couple questions if you don't mind.

Is that interior SD chip on the same side as the external SD slot? I ask because you noted the internal chip is glued in place.

Ok, found the information I asked about. Your web link doesn't work by the way.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-Teardown/4103/2

A common issue I have noticed in the forums is the Tabs that are running CM9 are getting very warm on the right side in that area. My Verizon Tab does this.

I'm wondering if the additional thermal issue is causing the adhesive to break down and allow the chip to pull away from the main board.

If so, then this issue may be repairable. I'm throwing this out there for others to consider. I haven't run across this idea in the forums, but if it's

been discussed, I apologize.

Thanks again for the information.
[Galaxy Tab General] ChrisCTX:
Yes, everything is on the right side (battery covers almost all the left).

As for the heat loosening the adhesive, it's not impossible, but I find it a little far-fetched since Samsung decided not to solder the chips in place, I would expect them to use an adhesive that could tolerate some heat, then again, assembly lines are known to do good ol' money saving switcheroos, so I'm open to the possibility.

Sadly I just cleaned it all away with thinner, I could have perhaps asked an Industrial or Electrical Engineer in my school if he could guessed what it was.

I guess someone could try opening the device up and applying some pressure on top of the chip and see if anything happens, I can't because my internal got some of the metallic dots damaged when I popped it off (Not that I care, I planned on doing the change permanent).

If someone does that, please do share your experiences, it might just save people from having to go all ape on their device :P

Thanks for the link fix too, this post's has a sister thread (clone realy) on rootzwiki and it shortened it there.

Shouldn't the tittle be External SD card only guide instead?
[Galaxy Tab General] throwback1718:
This is helpful
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
I have been looking for this for a while. Thank you so much.

I am in the process of using this to fix a Verizon tab. Before I took internal SD chip off, I make sure that it is not loose due to heat problem. The internal SD is glue very well to the board. So the problem of a loose contacts are not it.

What I have done so far is successfully removed the internal Sandisk SD chip. Mine did not come off very easy. It broke off bit by bit. but eventually it came off.

After search for the rom file, I found a zip file called aokp_plc_milestone-6.zip. I don't know if this will work or not, but I did modified line 31 and 35 according to the guide. I notice in that zip file, the file is actually named updater.sh instead of update.sh. I don't know if this make any different.

Now I need to learn how to do ADB.
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
It works

Wow! I am so happy to have my tab working again. Thank you!

It is really weird. The only thing I did was removed the internal "Sandisk" chip on the motherboard.

When I put everything together, It starts to work again. The system still show the internal 1.9 GB.

I format the external SD with two ext4 and the rest fat32, and the system recognized my external SD.

So I am back to working like before. The "Sandisk" chip I took off was not the internal SD. It may have been a spare chip on Verizon tab.

I was going to do some search on how to do ADB, and everything start to work again. So, I did not even run the modified rom.

I am still running 2.2. I need to read up on different rom to try. But as of now, I am happy that I can use my tab again.
[Galaxy Tab General] bombarder:
works great!!!thanks a lot. But i can't access rest of my sd card.It only shows 496 mb + 500 mb.Where is my 13,8 gb?Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] PookiePrancer:
Well, in the interest of seeing what Samsung would do to fix a card corrupted by the encryption bug, I sent mine in for repair. The status shows they replaced the PBA (printed circuit board). We'll see how it works when I get it back :)
[Galaxy Tab General] bombarder:
can't install rom. Have status 7 error message,any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
I think you need to format your SD again to see the rest of memory.

I have not mess with update the rom yet, but how are you installing the rom? Are you using CWM? I think the guide said to use CWM.

Also, if you are having a verizon tab, can you point me to what rom are you trying to install? I have not have the time to look for the rom for verizon. I am very confused about the rom since so many of them.
[Galaxy Tab General] bombarder:
thanks for responce

I formated it already 500xt4 +500 xt4 +rest fat32

after that follow the instruction to addind scripts from adb to make visible your external sd card in cwm

finall go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585619 and download three files(first rom, second update and gapps)

after installing rom I can't install update
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
well, I think the guide said to get the zip file either jb or ics. modify some lines and use cwm to flash it. It did not talk about (rom, update and gapps). I have not flash the rom with ext sd only yet. Maybe the one you are following is different then this application.

The only other thing to try is to have the Fat32 as the first partition instead of last.
[Galaxy Tab General] mr_dell_boy:
i have solved my prob by formating a 32gb sd, 10gb fat 32, 4 gb swap, and about 14 gb ext4, put cm9 on fat32, booted into cwm and installed from sd, hey presto all ok and seems very stable dont really know what partition i needed but it works, lol.
[Galaxy Tab General] throwback1718:
Anyone willing to do this fix for me ? PM me if anyone is willing .

I don't have Time nor tools nor patience to do this.
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
can you be more specific on what you are doing? did you use adb command to copy the cm9 rom into the sd? what rom are you running before that allow you to "booted into cwm"? How are you able to "booted into cwm"? Are you using the power and up/down to "booted into cwm"?

I am running galaxy cube 3 with cwm. I can booted into cwm, but I can't access my ext sd once I am in cwm. So I can't install the mod rom.
[Galaxy Tab General] ChrisCTX:
visualxda, have you tried

adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p3 /sdcard

?

Assuming you have 3 partitions like the guide suggest, this should load your SD in CWM.
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
Thanks for the response.

I can mount the SD when I am in CWM now. Somehow I could not do that earlier. So, I did not use the adb command line.

The problem I have now is asert error (status 7) on CM10, CM9, and Aopk roms. From what I have read, I think my kernel is too old.

My kernel version is 2.6.35.7-dsb9938.vzw.gtab.e104.1.12
[Galaxy Tab General] ChrisCTX:
If you removed your Internal SD Card like the guide says, then you need to edit a file inside the ROMs for them to work properly.

You have to edit the update.sh in line 31 and 35 to be as bellow

SD_PART='/dev/block/mmcblk0p3'

It's all there in the guide really, just be sure to read it and follow it step by step and you WILL end up with a working Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
Maybe because I have a verizon tab. The only ROM I can install correctly is CM9 Build 5. I always get error status 7 with CM9 Build 10, CM10, and AOKP. If I remove the first three lines of code on the update script, then I get error status 6.
[Galaxy Tab General] NRGZ28:
Since I now own a Verizon CDMA tab with a messed up internal chip as well, I've become quite knowledgeable on how to make it work with any ROM out there. I've found it easier to remove the offending chip on my tablet (physically remove it). I partitioned a 32GB Class 10 PNY microsd card to use with it and it works great.

In other news... I've also developed a nice gingerbread ROM based on the EI04 release for the VZW tab. I will post it in the development section shortly. I guess we can now say we have one more CDMA tab dev in these forums.

Please feel free to ask questions about these special tabs with busted internal sdcards. I will answer them one way or another :)
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
Only slightly related,

see this thread

It is suggested that you don't unzip and rezip.

But edit the zip instead (see the thread for details)
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
Thanks, I will try that when I have the time.

For now, I am happy with running galaxy cubed 3 rom.

I was having problem of not seen ext SD.

I have a verizon tab, and I need to format the SD as follows.

1/2 of the SD as Fat32. 1/4 of SD as EXT4, and 1/4 of SD as Swap.

The 1/4 of SD either from Ext4 or Swap become the internal system memory. The Fat32 partition will become your external SD.

When I followed the guide and formated the SD with two ext4. I could not see my external memory.

So, that is the trick for a verizon tab to work.

For me, all I did was removed the internal Sandisk chip.

Use Heimdall tools to flash the galaxy cubed 3.

And format the SD as stated above.
[Galaxy Tab General] bombarder:
I tried youre rom on my i800 and had freeze on samsung logo.Any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
Right after you flashed, you want to do a factory reset and clear the cache. And then reboot. Remember to have your ext SD card inserted.

When you see the verizon logo, it does take about 3 minutes for it to complete the system setup.
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
I think your vold still point your external sd to the second blk device, which has now become the first device.

That his why no external sd seen.
[Galaxy Tab General] bombarder:
Could you explain step by step, because I found cubed 3 rom, flashed it with heimdall than formated my sd card(1/4 swap primary xt4+1/4 ext4+ 1/2 fat32) and I freezed on verizon logo.
[Galaxy Tab General] visualxda:
Try to format with tge fat32 on the first partition.

Insert the sd into the tab.

Flash the cubed 3 with heimdal.

After flash completed, perform factory reset and clear cashe.

Then reboot .

Go it plenty of time to boot like 5 minutes .

Hope it work for you..

I had that happened before I tried format 1/2 Fat32, 1/4 ext 4, and 1/4 linux swap.

is it necessary to do a sd card partition with this order >>> 500 MB ext4 - 500 MB ext4 - and a FAT32 with the rest of the space.

i did it with that step but my computer didn't recognize the card in mass storage mode coz it's not the 1st partition

so i changed to do with this order >>> FAT32 with most of the space - 500 MB ext4 - 500 MB ext4

is it gonna work?

one more thing....what is ADB and how to do it. i have googled to find the method but not understand it yet.

please help, my tap is death now coz i already removed internal SD

Thanks a lot :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Fix-it:
HELP!

hi guys! I'm David. First of all, sorry for my poor english... ;)

I've a SG GT-P1000 where had broken the internal SD memory. Following this guide I've removed the the SD and tryed to put the rom on external SD card... but with half success: the installation gone on wrong partition with the impossibilities to use gallery, camera, etc for error "SD card not present".

for me is impossible to follow the step "partition" because, if I do first the ext4 partitions I could not mount the partion fat32 on Windows OS. I do a working around: I do the first partition in FAT32 and after the ext4. Doing that I can load the file on fat32 partition. I assume that it is possible anyway but with a little mod by editing update.sh, inserting not the numer 3 but the number 1 (use the first partition and not the third). But this not going as I espected for.

I use the rom Overcome_7_Series_v4.1.0_Wipe.zip with it kernel (loaded first with Odin3). Inside the rom zip I put manualy the update.sh taked form another rom (becase in Oversome there isn't a own) and removed all other files inside the root (I leaved only the directory META-INFO and system).

What I'm doing wrong? :confused:

[Galaxy Tab General] thedrs:
instead of physical removal can i just unmount internal mem ?

Hi,

I read through the whole thread and own a p1000 with damaged internal mem too (it shows as if normal when Android loads but it has write problems ... it doesn't "remember" write operations).

I had it sent for fixing in a local shop and they repartitioned the external SD (3.4GB FAT32 / 3.8GB Ext3 / 244MB linux swap) and installed MIUI rom. The rom loads but still "sees" the the internal mem and thinks it can write to it but actually can't...

So after configuring the wizard. installing apps from google play doesn't work and after rebooting all configurations are forgotten.

My questions is:

Is there any way i can modify the existing kernel just to not mount the internal mem and only use the external without physically removing the internal mem ? That would be easier ....

Thanks in advance

[Galaxy Tab General] ableeker:
I have the same problem as thedrs, The Tab's internal storage is faulty, but I'm somewhat loath to break open the Tab and physically remove a chip. I can and do actually install and run CM10, thanks to some wizardry by jt1134, I've formatted the external sdcard, and created a file named activate_data_on_sdcard in the root, and now I can just install any CM10 nightly. Almost everything works beautifully, but as I found out when my internet connection was down, USB tethering didn't. I know it worked with CM7, so it would be nice to be able to run that if need be. I've tried to modify vold.fstab, but CM7 seems to be installing to internal storage, so it fails right away. I compile and run my own CM7, so if there's a way to compile a version that will install on the external sdcard instead of internal, I could modify some source code files, but unfortunately I don't know enough to know what files I need to modify. Does somebody know? That would be great!

I saw some interesting stuff in rc.p1.init, but where are the source files?

I notice updater-script installs on /dev/block/bml7, bml8, and st19, but what are these?
