[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oll3:
Hi Xda members,

I've been running Jelly Beans stock OTA (rooted though) since it was released here, and have been working out great so far.

A couple of days ago I got a number of strange notification pop-ups in just a few seconds while I was watching the screen...

The messages read something like "some app is requesting to run as super user" (well, don't remember which app or the exact message). Anyway, as I hadn't start any app at this point I thought it was a bit strange when several of these message popped up.

So I rebooted the mobile to see if it would make the pop-ups stop, but after this the mobile didn't boot up again, it just locked at the first boot screen (showing the Google text and the "Unlocked" symbol)...

I can still boot into the bootloader and the recovery. And I can reprogram the bootloader and the recovery partition through fastboot, but when trying to write to the boot partition through fastboot I get this output:

fastboot flash boot ./boot.img
sending 'boot' (8192 KB)... OKAY
writing 'boot'... FAILED (remote: Write Fail)

And in the recovery when I try to "choose zip from sdcard" I get "E: Can't mount /sdcard/".

Do you think the internal flash memory might be broken or could it be the partition table, or what else?

Best regards,

Olle

Same problem here...

I've got a similar problem oll3

Last saturday couldnt get my nexus s w/ stock JB to boot up, it just hanged on the Google logo. I thought it was due to a failing charger which I replaced. Then the phone worked fine for some hours until I had to reboot it. Again, stuck on Google logo. I tried booting to recovery and stumbled into the same error "E: Can't mount /sdcard/".

I've tried pretty much everything. Got the sdcard mounted couple of times which was enough to quickly take backups. However the sdcard mounts at random. Not at every boot, and yep, I've tested several old&new versions of recovery's. When the sdcard mounts, if managed to install several different rom's successfully but only to get stuck on the Google logo.

So I think it really can be a internal flash problem. I'll flash a stock rom and take the phone to the dealer for maintenance or replacement...

I'd be grateful if someone would point out how to get pass the google logo :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oll3:
aktuls, thanks for answering.

Unfortunately my guarantee period has passed since a couple of month. Hope you'll get your Nexus fixed, and please update me if you make any progress.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aktuls:
Actually I'm happy report some progress! :cowboy:

After busy night trying and also fiddling with the updates trying to get the JB 4.1.1 original flashed, I stumbled into error that said I have an old bootloader! Ok, I checked up the latest needed for JB 4.1.1 which the adb reported as "i9020XXLC2" and flashed it. Now I got the rom flashed and the phone has been rebooted several times today without any hiccups. :good:

So I suggest you and everyone else, stuck in Google logo, having flashed some JB based rom, to check you bootloader version and update it if needed ! Hope this helps some ! :angel:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
If you have a custom recovery, there's also a chance you have that version which can't mount the SDcard. I don't recall the exact version, but one of them won't mount the SDcard with that error. Updating it fixes that.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
instead of flashing each partition: boot,...

type: fastboot -w update "image-...-...zip file"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oll3:
I have now run fastboot update with factory image of different versions. At least it successfully flashed boot partition, but instead it now fails on the writing of system:

Have tried with different bootloader versions, recoveries, different versions of CWM recovery. Nothing seems to get me past the writing of system partition. In cwm 6.0.1.0 recovery I still can't mount/format the sdcard.

Partitioning the sdcard in cwm gives me "Done!", but when looking in the log file it reports some error about "you are not using parted v1.8.8.1.179-aef3!", don't know what that's suppose to mean.

Anything else I should try?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
Plug your phone to pc then right click in removal disk, format, fat32, uncheck quick format. It will take some time to finish but eventaully u will fix your sdcard

Unfortunately I am not able to access the sdcard from my PC as it seems... In cwm recovery when trying to mount USB storage I get "E: Unable to write to ums lunfile (No such file or directory)". Is there some other way?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C4SCA:
lock and reunlock the bootloader to format it

try that
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oll3:
Locking worked alright, but unlocking fails with message:

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craobhruadh:
Anyone get this working on the recent version of JB on the TF300. Tried the prime fix but nothing....I am unlocked with CWM and rooted stock OTA most recent and have tried every fix from the flash lib file downloads to changing the win to and using hex editor and all the different APK on here but nada.

I am wary about going anywhere else but XDA so I was hoping someone somewhere has a fix. Saw the smooth butter post that claims it has a Hulu fix but is that free or plus cause I hate plus? Currently I use splash top remote and just stream it to my tab but direct would be best.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? :)
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craobhruadh:
update.....Ok not sure what I did

Not sure what I did but my wondershare player is suddenly playing any Hulu I want. It never would before. I updated to the most recent hacked flash lib file uninstalled and reinstalled Wondershare and poof I use it to browse to hulu and it works.

I will try to track down what I did and post it here. Apparently their are 220 something people looking for a this fix as well. It will probubly only work until Hulu updates which flash they are using but I will enjoy it while I can.

Here is what I can say

I am rooted with stock JB OTA I installed the most recent hulu fixed flash APK from here and unistalled and reinstalled wondershare.:confused:
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craobhruadh:
hulu flash fix

here is the hulu flash fix thread....this is the only one I found that works. This thread was for hp touch but the file and instructions worked for me. make sure you uninstall any other version of flash you may have before installing this one or it wont work.

How is the S-pen?

With the current Note the writing in landscape mode is pathetic - the resolution is lower and it lags as hell. Writing under different angles is also a huge problem. Has those been fix in Note 2.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreepyDroid:
Handwriting is awesome. Never liked it on my note 1 but I'm using it alot now. you can write non-horizontal text and it will still recognize it reasonably well. I think that they are using JB's spell check and auto-correction to improve the recognition.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Extreme Noob:
Guys I am in great trouble after doing a mistake. I didn't know doomkarnel is not for ICS. I flashed DoomKarnel to my Xperia S with flashtool. My phone was running on ICS 4.0.4 latest firmware. After flashing the karnel I couldn't make my phone working, it just stuck on the doomkarnel logo if I want to switch on my phone. Then I wanted to flash a generic firmware with flashtool to solve the problem. I have downloaded 6.1.A.2.50 firmware. But I can't finish the flashing process. It stuck after 2% of the total progress. here's the flashtool scenario:

here the system stuck with 2% progress.

The things you may wanted to know:

1. My phone's bootloader is officially unlocked by me.

2. I understand flash mode(green led) and fastboot mode(blue led) well.

3. Every time when flashtool prompts me to enter the flash mode I do it according to the correct way.

4. the green led indicates that batter is ok here.

Now What will I do now? How can I make my phone working again? Advanced thanks.

Oww.. Now this phone shows the SONY logo and after that a triangle with an exclamation mark (!) appears. Then it restarts..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] AnrgKrshn:
Download the fastboot drivers onto your computer and install them. There's posts on how to do that, or I can just tell you if you need me to. Then just flash advanced Stock kernel using the fastboot command and your phone should boot up like normal.

Wait, is yours a locked or unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Extreme Noob:
mine is a unlocked bootloader. trying to do according to ur suggestions . will post the result .
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] milton.bain:
I guess you have the latest Flashtool version right?

Do these...

Use a version older to flashtool. Latest one has a bug, Androxyde has already posted a fix for it.

Flash any ftf.

Don't use doom kernel its for gb, so flashing will end up in sticking at logo.

Use advanced ics kernel by arkamar/Xperia sspeed kernel by krabapel/xsx kernel by Mericon.

Done....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Extreme Noob:
uhu.. Prom isn't solved.. I have flashed Advanced Stock ICS kernel successfully but the result is same. after showing the sony logo a triangle with a exclamation mark and a touchphone icon apeear.

Hi guys,

I rooted my Rogers GS3 using the Guide in the Development Forum (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1822308), I followed the instructions exactly, including the below:

To Flash ClockworkMod Recovery: Have the recovery image on the internal memory...name as "recovery.img"

Download Android Terminal Emulator from the Play Store, have the recovery image on the internal memory, run:

Once in the terminal type: su (press enter)

Then type: dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 (press enter)

The terminal manager app appeared to execute this properly, there is even a folder in my /sdcard now called "clockwork"

BUT when I boot the phone into download mode (power + home + volume down) I do not see a Clockwork Mod Recovery icon, just the standard "press volume up to enter download mode, volume down to restart your device" option. I've been told that I cannot confirm CWM Recovery is installed until I see the Clockwork Mod Recovery option appear in this mode.

Any idea why it's not appearing? Or an alternative method for installing CWM Recovery?

Hi guys.. These are all formatted for the Nexus 7 but work just as good on the Nexus S as the aspect ratio is somewhat similar..

If you use any of these please thank me. It took a lot of time to crop my collection and separate them like I did and I will be updating these albums as my wallpaper collection grows.

Remember.. It's best to use these with Simple Image Wallpaper Free.. It's better then MultiPicture live wallpaper (imo) as it allows you to set a separate portrait picture and a landscape wallpaper and doesn't always have to reload the wallpaper randomly. Much lighter weight.

If using the beta Photobucket layout to download the full hi-res photo click "Options" at the top then download. Otherwise it's right click save as like always.
