sorry to bring up an older topic, but hey...this DOES NOT work with the leaked Qtek ROM. i wish there was an option to enable it in that rom. or just wait for a ROM that has A2DP in it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdemon:
Hello friends, I got my SGS(GT-I9000) 3 years back and love this phone a lot since it was my first. I've changed a lot of roms from time to time but this last rom i flashed was MIUI. After i flashed it, it goes into recovery mode and over there i saw a few errors which i tried fixing and never found a solution. Before i flashed MIUI i was running Slim Rom v4.3. Since i was desperate i took it to the Samsung's Service Center and they told me i gotta change my Logic or Mother Board which was around 105$ or something. I decided to try something before i bid farewell to this awesome phone. After i got it back from the Service Center i noticed in the Recovery Mode there were more errors than before.

I've attached a pic of these errors. I tried flashing stock and various other roms but no luck. Is the phone gone for good? or is it fixable?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
two Q.s

1) After you got back you have more issues? what was the initial issue, if you can recall?

2) How do you get formatting ( in Picture) by just entering recovery? remove Ext SD card & SIM , same result by powering on?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdemon:
Initially, I was getting 4 errors :

E: copy_dbdata_media: format SDCARD:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file or directory)

E: copy_dbdata_media : Can't mount SDCARD : copy default media content failed.

E: Can't mount /dev/block/stl111 (Invalid Argument)

After flashing MIUI rom through download mode it would restart and go into recovery and do some initializations but the above 4 errors poped up.

The lady at the service center mentioned that they are gonna dead the motherboard or something about removing power from the logic board completely.

The Formatting SDCARD... popped up after i came home and tried getting into recovery and noticed these Arrays or argument vectors.

I don't have an external card, the phone came with 16 GB internal card.

Do you want me to put up a video, so you can get a clear picture what's going on?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Basically the yellow messages will come up when the phone is installing something and the red messages will come up when they are errors that needs to be resolved,. basically it looks like you have an internal SD card problem.

you should try to format all the partitions first If possible (by flashing a CWM recovery) and try for a fresh install of a stock ROM after that.

so read this first to get an idea of what needs to be done, enter download mode and flash the i9000 speedmod kernel, (do not reboot) enter CWM and format everything in Mounts & Storage (do not reboot), enter download mode and follow this to flash a gingerbread ROM on it .

if its not possible to format the partitions, the only other option would be to use an external SD card partitioned into two to act as the internal SD card to boot the phone. Just read all the links in the first link to understand how this can be resolved.

At the same time, for samsung service centers, it would be , changing the whole logic Board (mother board) as they would not replace just the SD card alone, which is the problem here. Some Mobile Technicians have simply striped it off and used the external Sd card to solve such problems.

Thanks for the reply and the workarounds.

I was able to install CWM (CF-Root-XX_OXA_JW4-v4.4-CWM3RFS).

And now it says unable to process volume !. Do i proceed to Partition SD card? and what Ext size do i choose?

And under mounts and storage there is no /data, etc but only "mount USB storage".

I tried wipe data/factory reset and i get these :

take a look at this under mounts and storage menu you can format all the partitions, if its not there than flash the speedmod kernel and format them, as advised earlier, do not partition your SD card

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdemon:
I installed speedmod kernel and i went into mounts and storage and formatted the following,

If i try to mount sdcard i get the same error when i try to format sdcard. How do i proceed further? I'm also out to get an external card of 8gb or 16 gb
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
It should be obvious by now that the problem is in mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) not being able to format, so best get a 16GB external card and partition it to solve your problem , your internal have to be scrapped and best to use only external

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdemon:
Yeah, i got the external 16gb card, it shows 14.48 gb free on the computer but doesn't load properly from the sd card. I'm stuck and not able to format the sdcard. I'm really stressed out now lol. It's not even recognizing through EASEUS Partition Master. I'll figure something out...any guides i should follow for partitioning it? I create two primary partitions of 2GB(vfat) and remaining fat32 right?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
yes, it will only be abt 14GB, you use the speedmod CWM menu to format it in the Phone and you should be ableto use it, the earlier links given to you have guides on how to partition it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robdemon:
Thank You for your support. I think the phone does not recognize the external sd-card. Through CWM i went to storage and mounts and tried to format/mount sd-ext but it failed. I wasn't able to format or mount.

I used minitool partition to create two partitions of EXT(2 GB) and FAT32(12.8). After flashing i got errors can't mount sdcard and can't copy to media. So i tried formatting through Backtrack with mkfs.reiserfs and mkfs.vfat, put the card in the phone and flashed various roms and your rescue kit (ezbase). I get the same error. I guess the phone is gone for good.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
That's sad, but I guess I sort of noted it might be the case, as you were unable to format the boot partition (your earlier post) .

the only option for this now is to buy a scrap (broken) SGS and switch the mother board

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
I was googling how to remap the headset button to activate the camera shutter, and couldn't find how to do it.

Is there a way that, if the camera app is running, pressing the button (only one button on my headset) would trigger a photo capture?

I have Tasker, but can't find out how to do it..

If camera app is NOT running, then I'd like it to perform whatever default function it does (think it starts playing music from the Walkman app).

Little help? Baby steps needed as I've never used Tasker before..

EDIT - FOUND A SOLUTION

On the Play Store is Vignette in both demo and full versions. This, after some setup, does what I wanted. The stock single button headset that came with my phone in the box acts like a shutter release button inside the app, and outside the app, does what the ROM wants (in my case, press once starts/stops music, press+hold activates Google Now).

I even lopped off the headphones with some scissors, so the headset is now a dedicated Google Now / Camera Shutter wire.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
Note:

Most apps I've found don't offer camera shutter functionality. All can change it to do volume up/down, or pause/play or something music related.. but none that I could see offered camera functionality..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
This option can be made at the moment with MW1 Handset and this app was recommended to me for your purpose https://play.google.com/store/apps/...extras.liveware.extension.remotecameracontrol
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
I'm not about to buy a $200 device to get this working :/
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
So your handset is not Sony? So if is not probably will be difficult to use it to make a camera functionality with it. Other apps for handset device which I know is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.petersson.watch but I don't know if will help you, probably Sony device only. Try it anyway.

BTW, the Handset MW1 do not cost $200 but $100 only and it's very good, I mean very good. If someone asking $200 for it, it's a scammer. ;)
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiltron:
Xperia Z1 with the headset that came in the box :)

I must have misread the price because upon visiting the link in my history, it's $74.99, which still is not a price point for a camera remote..

I'm hoping to set up my Tasker app to do this, or find an app that will let me use the stock Sony camera app, and the headset that came with the device as a camera shutter.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eclyptos:
In the box? what handset it is?

I know.

It's Sony Handset so you probably should try, give a shot with some apps for Sony Handset even if they are not for that one which you have but maybe are compatible.

So, I got my Venue rooted, and was changing the boot animation, had one I liked but it had pixelation from bad quality png files. I made a new one with better files, all the right resolution settings etc. anyways, I am now stuck in bootloop. I never imagined needing to make a backup for a boot animation so I am stuck for now. Can't access recovery mode, get the dead droid with the red exclamation mark. I have attempted to adb pull or push with no success, or even update to 4.3 from fastboot. I am completely out of ideas besides a warranty exchange from Dell, which I would rather not do. Anybody have something for a possible fix?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conrail16:
To answer #1: I'm thinking it's the recovery. Jelly Bean and above roms usually require CWM 6.x (or the equivalent 4EXT or TWRP versions).
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairsimple:
This may be the cause of boot loop with CM11, but I don't understand why I can't reboot to the bootloader. Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_ilari:
Have you tried to see if you have fastboot or adb connection? Have you tried pulling the battery for a minute and then doing pwr + volume (-)? Afaik, what you have done could not have damaged your Hboot doing what you did. With it responding as if it is in download mode it sounds as though it is in oem RUU mode. If so, you should be able to flash the PD98 zip of the same version of android/sense you were on by using

fastboot flash zip Name-of-your.zip

. With S-on it has to be the same version or higher. You can extract the PD98IMG.zip from the latest RUU for your device.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairsimple:
I did pull the battery (and charge it with an external charger) overnight but I still can't boot and go to bootloader. I also did try fastboot which can't talk to the phone. I didn't try the PD93IMG.zip update since I can't go to HBOOT (as my understanding, this is a HBOOT function to find and use that file). I will try use ADB to talk to the phone this weekend. Thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_ilari:
Download mode

I may be mistaken but, I believe that download mode is mode the phone goes into when running an RUU. If that is the case then it uses a different set of fastboot commands. I am not that tech savy but, if you are in the mode I believe you are then you would need to:

1) Put the PD98IMG.zip file in the folder where your adb/fastboot stuff is.

2) Plug your DHD into your computer

3) Issue exactly this command minus the quotes "fastboot flash zip PD98IMG.zip

If I am right, the htc logo will appear on the black screen and it will flash the stock rom, Hboot and all. I hope this helps you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairsimple:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_ilari:
I did read in one of your links that the problem you experienced is supposedly a confirmed bug in CWM recovery. The person posting said it was confirmed by koush him/herself. It apparently messes up your internal partitions so you were probably doomed as soon as you flashed CyanogenMod. At least that may explain why you got bricked. The fastboot flashing of the boot.img is a common method of flashing custom roms on dev unlocked HTC's with S-On. That is the way it is on the One X and the Vivid. So, at least now you know why your phone is bricked. Sorry I wasn't more help in fixing it.

Edit: I wanted to clarify so there is no confusion. This was actually a bug with older versions of ROM manager that have been fixed.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fairsimple:
I didn't find the post but as I remember, the CWM bug is when you use it to format or partition external SD, and it was in CWM v3.xx or something. Thanks.

Update: disconnect the battery for two days, then reboot with USB connected. Nothing changed, and none of the following command worked:
