[Captivate General] rurouni572:
When I boot up the phone, I get a message in my notification bar saying:

Damaged Internal SD Card.

Not an external memory card. My internal SD card. The one built into the phone. Anyone know if there's a way to fix this? Is there a way to reformat the built in SD card? My computer can't recognize it anymore. Am I pretty much screwed?

I posted this in androidforums as well.

EDIT: I found the "Format Card" option in settings. It's working fine, although the fact that this came up in the first place is very troublesome. Some further information: I did the GPS thing where you dial *#*# and some number, then rebooted my phone. My internal card was fine until I rebooted. That was the first time I got that message of a damaged internal sd card.
[Captivate General] Funkadelick:
dude same thing happened to me today - any way to fix this ?
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
Format it, and hope you never see those dreadful words again.
[Captivate General] dpmurphy81:
This is a known fact that has been reported on some Galaxy S phones, it is coming from doing multiple Lag fixes of the phone internal SD from RFS to EXT. buyer be ware when flashing lag fixes over and over.
[Captivate General] ed116:
what about when you flash a ROM that comes with LAg fix by default ? and you Disable it all the time can that happen to you? cuz ive flashed but most roms r being gay now with Lag fix ... i disable always might i get that msg? :/
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
This affects the bell vibrants only, the captivates never had this issue.
[Captivate General] dpmurphy81:
One can assume that the captivate can have this problem also the hardware is no different really from the vibrant. And I feel in my opinion that it is related to the quality of the flash memory chip itself weather you have this problem. compound this with the relentless conversion of the RFS file system it is just a matter of time I believe. The trade off of speed is stability. But that is only my opinion...
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
That actually is a pretty big assumption. Just because two phones appear "similar" based on the published specs doesn't mean their insides are at all related. We already know that from a strictly hardware standpoint, even the two GSM cousins in America (the Vibrant and the Captivate) have different physical hardware inside, and many other versions of the i9000 abroad vary quite a bit too. Samsung produces these phones in very large batches, and who knows exactly what the differences are in the individual components put onto each board.

And as far as I'm aware, there's not been a single case of repeated "lag fix" operations causing damage to the hardware. Which makes sense when you think about it too. If I load a single 720p movie onto my internal SD (OneNAND), that probably requires a lot more NAND cells to be touched than an entire system/data/dbdata/cache lag fix being applied. Since all those operations really do is backup the partition, delete the partition, format a new partition, and then restore the data back over. Not really the most intensive thing you can do with your internal SD...

The OP's problem probably lies somewhere in PEBKAC. Not unmounting storage cleanly from the PC, or accidentally unplugging during a file transfer, battery came out unexpectedly at some point, etc. I end up re-flashing my ROM so regularly that I never really have time for little problems to build into big problems, but that might have happened here. Just so many corrupt sectors before the OS finally gives up trying to deal with it. Either way, since formatting seems to have fixed the problem, and this storage is solid-state, not mechanical, the problem is probably not in the hardware.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
I had this issue on my captivate, as did two others that I know of, with a certain release of voodoo lag fix. Haven't heard of complaints since, and although it was tricky to fix haven't had problems since

Its not just with Bell phones. But I agree I think its software not hardware (at least for us Cappy folks!)
[Captivate General] Stevethegreat:
What was the fix you applied exactly? I'm interested to it. Thanks
[Captivate General] MannyMel:
I would like to know what else i can try. I am currently.experiencing the same damaged internal sd card issue and have tried reformatting to no avail. It just seems to skip the actual formating. My pc also cannot see the phone as a drive. Any help would be appreciated.
[Captivate General] Mikhail.Tota:
Bump. Having the same issue. Cant see any files in 'my files' (samsung galaxy s i9000), internal sd wont mount or format in clockworkmod recovery
[Captivate General] _murray_:
Hi guys, Did you solve the problem somehow?
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
I just wanted to state that this may be correctable with JTAG. If you guys are interested in letting me try to correct this with JTAG please let me know. I have been able to fix, what I refer to as partition bricking on the i9000 and T959 Vibrant and this sounds similar.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Nah.... JTAG is fully unnecessary. See, the SDCard is a shared space. It's likely the cause of this problem was flashing an inappropriate PIT file after performing a lagfix. Try flashing the stock pit file... I'd attach it as it's really small, but i seem to have lost it :(. You're going to need to do a total reset on your phone. Use CWM to wipe and delete and format everything you can.

If this is an ACTUAL bad SDCard, then nothing will bring it back short of replacing the chip. JTAG would not be the way to go for this.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
Not trying to butt heads with you but I've worked on many phones with what I refer to as "partition bricking" and they were not fixable with any method of flashing. I've gotten a few that were able to be fixed with PIT repartitioning but many have not been. Also see the other thread I replied to you in as JTAG could be a fully capable solution in this instance.

As stated, JTAG can address any portion of the NAND, not just the PBL and SBL blocks.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Sure, it can. By default Riff does not. Also, JTAG is overkill for a bad partition flash. Just reformat from CWM and it should be fine.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
RIFF DOES SUPPORT THIS NATIVELY. Also, the phones I obtained were not fixable with CWM repartitioning. I spent hours on the first few to still have mount issue with DBDATA and /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 and /dev/block/mmcblk0p0 errors. I have found a few that were fixable with re-partitioning via ODIN but several that required JTAG to fix. I didn't spend days trying to find the perfect combo before turning to JTAG but I spent a lot of time on many of these phones.
[Captivate General] orapradeep:
Hi Connexion, I would be interested in trying this, can we do this to Korean Variant of Galaxy SHW M110 (anucall) let me know
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
Hi,

Unfortunately, that is not a supported model on the RIFF box right now. I sent you a PM I believe with some advice though to hopefully get through it.
[Captivate General] @trigger:
Hey I'm also facing the same issue. I'm unable to access the SD card in phone as well as via PC.

[HD2 General] pdiggitydogg:
Hello all...

First let me apologize for asking this, but the wiki has been down for some time now...

What is the difference between the TMous HD2 and the non-branded/international version? (Not asking about frequencies of radio.)

What makes the device different enough to require its own separate forum? I did notice different cooked rom versions for the two...

If its a software difference, would simply running Task29 on a TMous version solve these issues?

I am looking to get an HD2 to replace my touch pro 2 and just want to be well informed on what I am getting into.
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
for one, tmous hd2's use a different radio version (.50) than the international (0.51) and as such, ROMs that are based off the tmous version (for the ability to have the extra memory) have to use the .50 radio or you can brick the phone.
[HD2 General] pdiggitydogg:
Thanks

Also I just found:

I should have looked harder - thread can be closed.
[HD2 General] egzthunder1:
Thread closed as per OP's request.
[Captivate General] Truceda:
It works, though not made for the Captivate. Here's how to get it:

First, you will need to get .NET 4 Framework from Microsoft and install that. You will need to restart your computer after installing, so be prepared.

Go to samsungapps.com or it should be the first search link when searching for Samsung Kies using Google.

It will tell you that it's not available for the US.

Click the "Applications" tab in the upper right part of the screen.

Click "See all Countries"

Click on "Europe" then select "United Kingdom" (I did this just to make sure that whatever follows would be in English, but it may not matter)

At the bottom-center there will be a link "Download Kies" Save or Run the .exe

During installation, it will ask you what language you want. You can choose US at that point.

Phone wouldn't connect at first. I closed the program, disconnected the USB cable, then reconnected the USB cable and Windows started installing drivers. After that, I reopened Kies, selected Samsung Kies on the phone when prompted for USB connection type, and it started establishing connection with the phone. It will then show the phone's model number and your wireless phone number.

If you're having trouble after the drivers are installed, just make sure that the "MTP Application" with USB connector symbol is displayed on the phones screen. It Kies should recognize the phone and connect automatically after that.

It has a few useful features, but isn't the best phone assisting software I've used.
[Captivate General] phrebh:
Thanks for this. I just wish I had it before I spent so much time getting my Outlook contacts on my phone.

I installed and ran the program before connecting my phone. When I did connect, it recognized it right away.
[Captivate General] Theojt:
What kind of system did you do this on? I tried it a couple of days ago, but my 64 bit Win 7 system had no love for the Samsung MTP USB drivers.
[Captivate General] phrebh:
XP, sp3

Someone posted on another topic that they had to update the .NET framework and some other stuff to get it to work on 7.
[Captivate General] KappaG9:
I tried doing it on xp sp3 as well and it always says connecting device and it won't ever connect. Tried to re-install and all that updated everything and still wont work
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Why do I need Kies? (innocent tone) All I've needed is mass storage option..
[Captivate General] TechnoMage:
After installing Kies I kept having problems with Win7 64 bit until I plugged the USB cable directly into one of the motherboard ports. Once I did that things started working correctly.
[Captivate General] Truceda:
I'm using Windows 7 Starter on my netbook. It's true, you have to get .NET 4 Framework, and I'll add that to the original post.

No one NEEDS Kies, but it is nice to have if you want to back up your contacts and convert videos to play on the phone.

Dave
[Captivate General] majkeli:
I've found this only connects if you're using the TouchWiz launcher.
[Captivate General] Theojt:
Tried that too. The Kies Recovery Mode attempts to install the drivers and the Samsung Android USB Composite Device does install but the CDC Abstract Control Model (ACM) driver fails.:(

Any idea what that "other stuff" is that might be needed?

Tnx
[Captivate General] Lucke:
this is great... but for whatever reason, when transfering music, i can't get playlists to transfer, nor some album art...

oh and i'm using it on win 7 pro x64... you do need the .net 4 framework and it will only connect while using TouchWiz :-\
[Captivate General] cooley_l:
I'm on Win 7 64 bit , amazing guy , you're the best
[Captivate General] NamelessGRL:
Wow thnx a lot! finally its working for me and i have a windows 7 x64. :D
[Captivate General] torred:
Can't connect.

My phone is rooted and all drivers installed fine except the MTP driver won't install.

I can choose mass storage and mount but when I choose Kies option on the phone it just goes crazy and keeps flashing MTP on the phone.

Someone posted somewhere that you need to do a factory reset but I really don't want to do that cause it will wipe all my apps and stuff.

Any other ideas?
[Captivate General] majkeli:
You need to connect the usb cable with it already set to the Kies option.
[Captivate General] anosis:
My phone connects to Win7 x86 when it is in development mode and Kies registers that fact but complains that it cannot be in that mode. So I switch the mode off in the phone but now when I plug the phone in it does not even get recognized. Nothing, not even trying to install driver or a new USB device found.

What am I doing wrong?

Net 4 is installed and so are the Sammy usb drivers.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
What's the point of Kies?
[Captivate General] ask_j:
Hi,

I have HTC Tilt 2 and I have contacts with photos on that. Also all the photos are in sync with outlook. When I used Kies to sync my contacts it did not bring any photo? What should I do? I have more than 300 contacts..
[Captivate General] a_fuegon:
Seems to me you need to take your unhappy self and learn how to code. Then apply for a Job at Samsung claiming you can put their programmers to shame. IF you aren't gonna do anything about it, other than complain, you need to just STFU or get another phone.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] supamas:
I've been up and down, in and out of these doggone forums and I can't find how to fix my problem really.

So the goal is to root my htc slide. I've attempted 4 different rooting techniques that require the loop process and the adb recognizing my phone giving a specific code while in recovery, to unplug usb and then to re-insert. My issue lies in the device being recognized while in recovery. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, even downloaded pdanet for the correct drivers after using debugusb (I think that's it) to get rid of existing drivers and that allowed my phone to at least be recognized while booted up normally.

One technique was to takeout then reinsert the sdcard while booting into recovery and that gave me the device offline in during the loop! But then reverts to not recognizing my device. It says devices listed and is an empty space where the model number is while booted up normally.

I'm at a loss and I need you're help of the community. Help please! I appreciate it :)
[neoTouch S200 General] veethree:
My S200 seems to have died on me - after receiving a call this morning I switched it off and the screen now refuses to show anything except a small patch of purple and yellow at the bottom.

I can still put the device into bootloader mode and have tried flashing a couple of custom ROMs to solve the issue, but nothing has helped. The ROms load ok, but then when doing a reboot all I get is the black screen with the small patch.

Does this sound like a hardware failure, which will mean I have to return it to Acer? Or does anyone have any good ideas of how to solve the problem?

Ok...so finding some lovely wallpapers from THIS site, my mind went crazy and start playing with them. Of course since I'm light years far from a real theme creator and having nothing better to do, I made some arrangements that looked appealing to me...up to a certain point. The basic point was to obtain a "minimalist" look, still preserving some basic (for me) info on-screen.

The problem is that, I've made several and I like most of them so it's hard for me to decide on which I should stop. Maybe with your critics I'll make a choice. Also tell me if I should add/remove any thing from them.

So here they are:
