I've been trying to root and it won't work. I'm bewildered. I'm on stock 1.5, I downloaded the PB00IMG.zip from the links in the root thread, checked MD5sum and it's good so no download problems, put sd card in Eris, formatted, connected to computer via USB and transferred PB00IMG.zip to sd card (I also tried using USB adapters). Turned off Eris, held volume down, and hit power. Every time it starts up, I see it looking for the various file names and it reports "No image or wrong file name!" for each one except PB00IMG.zip and one other for which it reports "No image!" So it is finding the file, but claims no image! I know of at least one other person that is having this same error.
What's the problem?!

it should say checking image for the last one let it sit there it is fine
Here's a youtube video of what it does. It never says checking image and will stay at this screen indefinitely. (edit: it doesn't stay at the screen shown below, but at the screen you see in the video.)

Check the formatting of your SD card. Make sure it is Fat32. If it is, try reformatted anyways and trying again.
to all with this problem. reformat the card. if doesn't work again. reformat it again. even if it say fat32 reformat it. this is always the problem when you get this issue. unless the flash image is not on the root of the card.
the problem is the bootloader scan for the card and if it does not mount correctlt then it spits that error out. but a reformat allway fixes it.

Oh you guys are good!! Format of the MicroSD card did it for me too... Was trying for an hour before I saw this thread then it only took a few minutes.. Now I just gotta figure out how to get the Google Maps beta on here..

After a bad flash my Vibrant is not seeing my internal sd card.
Is there a way to reformat?
Settings -> SD card and phone storage -> under phone storage select Format SD card.
Before you do that I would try flashing the mounting fix that was posted a while back in clockwork though. That might help.

The same thing...
Hitting Format SD card under the phone storage part of the screen will format the internal memory. If that doesnt work you should odin back to stock and reflash whatever ROM you want.
Formatting storage card does nothing.
Odin back to stock then reflash your ROM.

Already done that twice.
Hence my question.
Is there a way ie through adb to format the internal Sd/storage memory
This thread is relevant to my interests.
I have attempted to odin, and heimdall back to stock, but either the guide here on XDA is severely outdated, or something is wrong with my vibrant.m (followed steps to a T, but to no avail)
I am extremely technologically adept so anyone willing to talk me through this won't be assisting grandpa through a reformatting, and re-installation of the latest version of windoze operating system on their virus ridden store bought PC so to speak, but rather would be helping out a fellow modder restore his phone, and squeeze a few more months out of it before being forced to upgrade.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
//edit
obviously i can get into the bootloader, recovery, and download mode, but cannot load any rom because i get the error cannot write to lums message.
I too flashed probably once too many times, and something corrupted my internal SD card on my SGS Vibrant, and there's no way to reformat it that I know of.
Are you locked out of the internal SD ie the EU bug?
What ROM were you running when you tried Odin?
Does Odin recognize your device, do you have a lighted com port?
Which version of Odin did you try?
Which files did you plug in on Odin?
And have you tried the AIO toolbox?
No tickee, no laundry!
sorry I didn't see this reply earlier, but since my last posting I bit the bullet and upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy Note 2.
I would however like to see if I could still repair my vibrant for use as another android phone to play with. Odin, etc. all recognize and will flash my phone, but in cwm I can't flash any roms. I it says something about unable to write to lums?

Just wondering if anybody has had this issue before. I searched around a bit but haven't found a clear answer yet. After flashing a kernel through Kernel Manager Pro, the phone rebooted, checked sdcard as usual, then popped up that there was an error and sdcard was mounted as "read only". I had made a backup right before flashing the kernel like I usually do so I restored that backup but got the same error. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and so on and rebooted into android. No luck with that either, so I tried a backup of a different rom I had. Still the same issue (also wiped between restoring backups for good measure). Plugging it into the computer would work because it would not recognize the sdcard as a removable drive (had the "use as disk drive" option chose on my phone to clarify). Finally I had to boot into recovery, mount usb storage, right click on the drive that my phone was, and click "check and fix for errors". After a very long wait it finished and I unmounted usb storage and rebooted into android again. That finally fixed it (whew), and now I have a folder on my sdcard that is titled "FOUND.0000", and there are text files in it with names such as "FOUND.0000CHK, FOUND.0001CHK" and so on. Do I need these files anymore or is just showing me what was wrong and fixed on my sdcard? Will it cause any issues if I delete the folder? Sorry if all this is confusing or stupid. I just have never had an issue like this before and I have rooted and used quite a few android phones and tablets. Im not a noob but I definitely do not know that much about this kind of stuff so any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA

This is very interesting. I've never had a problem with the SD card. Is this the same SD card that shipped with the phone?
When you, "right click on the drive that my phone was, and click "check and fix for errors" is that a windows command? Does the picture below represent the action you took?

Did you end up deleting those files? If so, what happened?
I am having some weird errors with my SDcard myself. I went from a flashed kernel on CM7 off to another ROM. Rebooted and SDcard errors out the wazoo. I am getting MD5 mismatches on a lot of my backups at that. If I can get a ROM that fully boots, I will likely wipe the sdcard and start over to see if it isn't from a corrupt file or something.
The same exact thing happened to me. I mounted my SD card from recovery and windows auto fixed it.
If that didn't work I was going to wipe backup. wipe, and reformat.
Allright so I have a 16GB nook tablet and it has been bricked. So bricked that I dont know how to fix it. I have tried to use a bootable SD with repart.img on it several times, including reformatting and recreating the bootable SD. It goes thru the whole process, and then powers off. When I power it up, it says "installing your new software" hesitates for a second, and then gives me a screen that says something to the effect of "Your new software could not be installed. Please restart and try again". The frustration is incredible. If anyone has experience with this, please help. If not, Devs get at me as I will donate my paperweight so that you guys can figure out how to keep people from dealing with this crap. Thanks.

Can you boot into a CWM or CM7 SD card?

Havent tried I just assumed that if it could revert to stock, it wouldnt do that either. Ill give it a try. Link to a good one?

saying that. I have no idea how to troubleshoot beyond this point.
Try to flash a new ROM internally using your bootable CWM SD. It's worth a shot, and it might give us more information.
Just a thought...what happens when you just reboot without an SD Card? Does it give that error message every time?
When did you buy your NT?
They all have a 1 year warranty (unless you bought the extended warranty) and you might be able to just go into a BN, say that you tried an update and something went wrong and now it won't boot. Provided you bought it less than a year ago and the manager agrees (in the store it's up to the manager, if you try online you can probably get it right away) you can get a new (well, reconditioned) NT.
I've done it, and it worked. New one works great.
Yeah tried it. The manager was a ****. I took it out back and filled it fulla .308 lead lol. Thanks guys for trying to help

I did search and only found couple people saying theirs is not working, my question was does anybody know how to fix? All that I seen was said was to download scan media and try that. Mine does not read at all won't pick up my pictures or music even if it scans and also no way to access it with file explorers. The page you linked me to only had wifi questions on it.
Check /storage
My external card showed up under /storage/external_SD. Did you check that location?

^This. Use something like ES or root explorer and go up a level and there should be a folder called storage with an External_SD folder inside (or something of the like) and another called sdcard0 that goes to the internal SD
This also should have been posted in the Q&A section, for future reference.

hope this helps
is this what u meant? i've heard that some people were having this issue and that if u flashed the 2 files in this post that it fixed the sd card not being read. after i flashed these 2 fixes and ran scan media all my pix showed up in the stock gallery

yes I did check under external_sd that directory is there, but doesn't take you to the card. It's just an empty folder, also the same from computer.

I ran those two zips, and everything is still the exact same. If you go to external_sd it just says this folder is empty. When you plug into computer and access it says "device has stopped or doesn't exist".
more info
I don't know if this is relevant to anything, but external_sd has the wrong date it was created it shows 1/2/1970. Just thought I should mention this.
have u tried putting the sd card in a different device and reformatting it to make sure its not the card? Or tried using a different card in the phone?

As I said earlier /sdcard/external_sd is empty for me as well. However /storage/external_SD is where the content shows up. If the card is empty when you mount it in the computer, it may well be empty or corrupt. Formatting (erasing all content) may be necessary.

Yes I just looked there its empty as well, and media scanner can't find anything. and per vinniemac84 instructions, I removed the card put in adapter and put in computer everything is on it, I also just put the original 16gb card in phone which was removed from phone the day I got it and tried to create a folder in both places and it tells me could not create directory. Also in setting under storage it shows nothing about an external card no options to mount it or size or anything. usually even if you don't have a card in the phone it will show the option to mount a card.
Hi,
Just this night I've been using my sdcard in a normal way, browsing internet, downloading files when suddenly my phone couldn't boot after flashing bootanimation (zip made by trusted developer so that's not the problem). Now when I connect my SD Card to the phone it will either say "preparing sdcard" forever or just simply freeze phone after few seconds. I tryed to connect it via working adapter with my PC to back it up... After copying few files sdcards unmounts from the reader... I've tryed on XP and it shows some command errors while trying to copy files in a regular way. I was ONCE able to flash few zips via recovery in order to make my phone boot up again it worked. Now I'm scanning my SD Card using Norton Internet security 2013 - Paid version - not cracked, and the sdcard seems to stay mounted to the PC. Unfortunately after trying to copy files from SD Card to PC it just freezes explorer.exe and unmounts itself...
Please help me, I really have some important pictures on this sd card
PS. 32 GB SanDisk Class 10 UHS-I (grey and red one)
PS. 2 I was using swap partition, maybe my sdcard went dead from constant reads and writes?
PS. 3 Using linux I managed to copy 81 MB... then any copying froze but ubuntu didn't... Damn, thats weird
It appears to randomly stop reading from SD Card as now it stopped at 153,1MB out of 422MB, all thumbnails of photos were shown properly though.
well first connect ur sdcard to an old mobile you have then connect mobile to computer
backup your data then use a partition tool to delete partition of sdcard then recreate it as FAT32 partition and try to put sdcard to your mobile again
if still, then wipe data/factory reseyt your rom
if doesn't work then let me know
Sent From My U8160 using xda-developers app
Well, connecting to an old mobile isnt an option as the SDCARD does the same thing even on xperia T which isnt that bad and that Xperia T never had this sdcard connected before.
I'd love to backup my data, but I can't
Full rom wipe and reflash fresh was done straight after getting problems with this sdcard.
Unfortunately it still doesn't work
I got the error I was talking about!

EDIT: I'm trying to recover photos and movies (most important files) via BadCopy Pro, any other recommendations if it wouldn't work?
EDIT2: It seems that when I'm slowly copying data (scanning sectors) sdcard doesn't seem to unmount or do other crazy stuff, any other suggestions so I'll keep file names and structure? I don't care much about copying time, I can run copying going all night.
I've recovered like 90% of data. Afterwards I've tried to perform Low Level Format... But this goddamn sdcard had to eject just at the start, therefore partitions got deleted, I'm trying to rebuild bootsector with testdisk but it takes ages, even after looking at tutorials online it takes so long to rebuild bootsector, no idea why...
I just realised that im one of the "lucky" guys which have got faulty sdcard. It happens to small amount (they say) of sandisk ultra 32&64GB owners...
