Dead horse kernel wipes sd? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has it wiped anyones sd so far
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

I just had the same problem...I odin'd back to stock and reflashed bionix 1.2 and then I copy and pasted my backup of my internal sd card which I made just before I flashed the kernal. After that I tried to restore my titanium backup and it didn't find one. Does anyone know what could have happened?
Also I noticed that the phone only reads my internal sd card as only being 2gb so there must be a partition that I can't see through either root explorer or windows.

SD wiping is a known issue with that kernel. I'm not sure how to fix Titanium Backup. If you're Linux savvy, you could fix up the missing capacity with gparted. If not, I don't know how to help ya, as the built-in Windows partition editor doesn't fix this kind of thing well.

phone switch

sorry if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find the exact info i needed. I am going to get a different vibrant as this one has been plagued with problems since the beginning, rattling volume rocker, gps has never once worked, etc. How do I get all of my info into the new phone? Do I just save the contents of the internal SD card onto my computer and overwrite them back onto the new phone? I am rooted running JK6 stock rom and I have made Nand backups as well as titanium backups. Also I am using a mac if that makes a difference. Thanks.
Titanium backup, then place it on your external SD Card (or pc to have one in a safe place). When you get the new Vibrant, use the old external SD Card and restore.
You mentioned bugs in the phone. Ensure you have not restored a application that is corrupt or has a bug.
All I need is the titanium backup, no nandroid backups?

I am trying to flash the mountingfix.zip file by putting it onto my internal sd. Upon reboot into Android system recovery 3e, and choosing "reinstall packages."
I get the following problem:
E:failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (No such file or directory)
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
Any fix for this issue please!

You can try pushing the file with adb and be sure of the directory, also it's case sensitive. And have you full formatted the sdcard to fat32?
I'm sorry, I know how it feels to lose someone close to you.

Just tried reformatting it through system recovering and also the SD card setting.didn't do fat32. And why do almost all the froyo Rom's have that mounting error. Even the T-Mobile froyo Rom has that issue. And yea i was close to my dad.

How would I reformat the internal SD card with fat32? That's the one I'm having issues with.the external SD card started work.so now i just need the internal one to work!

Can't you fastboot flash the e2 recovery and try again? Or try another sdcard to see if the card is the problem or not. I know you're probably not that a rookie with this stuff but sometimes you can forget some simple solutions.

I need to get back to e2 recovery or make the internal SD card work. Any ideas. Shh driving me nuts
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Any ideas please. I don't care about flashing or using other Roms. I just want this dam froyo rom to work correctly. Can't use the internal SD card to save music or anything else to it. So please help me out!

What kernel are you running? I had that same error when I ran eugene super kernel. Try a diff kernel. Also can you copy it.to your external then move it to your internal thru your phone. I had to do it that way on axura 2.1. Im sorry for loss bro. Ill keep you in my prayers.

Running Stock Leaked Froyo Rom
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
First of all, I am very sorry for your loss.
I think that the problem may not be your sd. I think it's a problem with Clockwork. Check out this thread and see if it helps.
HOLY SH-T
this just happened to me too haha!
I was trying to get into ClockWork, by clicking reinstall packages, it said the same error as yours because i deleted the update.zip which you probably did...
Here's what i did to fix, on ROM Manager, i clicked INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY
and the update.zip appeared on my SD and it started working again.
Sorry about your dad.
Is this going to fix my internal SD card issue? How do I fix this issue without using the mountingfix.zip? I'm now using e3 recovery not e2 so wont let me install any update.zip file. Using Rom manager. Can't get clockwork recovery to work with my Stock Leaked Froyo Rom. So how do i fix this issue. Not looking to flash a new Rom just want my internal memory card to work right! Thanks a million

Get rid of all unnecessary folders on internal storage

Hi everyone. After months and months of having my Vibrant, I would like to do a little housecleaning. I've already ODIN'd back to stock (I plan on flashing Nero afterwards). I was hoping that using odin would clear all extra files and folders off my internal memory that are not vital to the operation of the phone. Does anyone know how I can go about achieving this?
Thanks
if you odin back to stock and check the repartition, that will erase everything and reload the stock original software, nothing more, Everything that was on the internal sd card will be erased. So you should backup what you want to save
Hope that helps

I tried that, and it didn't remove anything.
You have to unmount internal sdcard and format...

Thanks a bunch, worked perfectly
Settings> sd card and phone storage > format. It will DELETE EVERYTHING of sd card and internal so back up anything important
(Edit)
Didn't see that question was answered already

Emmc memory cannot be read on computer.

It looks like I accidentally formatted my emmc memory and it cannot be seen by my computer. Does anyone know how to manually formatting it to make it functional again? I restored to a factory rom and back to aokp. I can see the memory and add files to it but music app cannot access internal drive. I get two drives in my computer but can only access SD card when I enable memory access. Any help on this will be awesome.

This isn't helpful I know but I thought id let you know this does not really belong in development thread. Just letting you know why no one is gonna help. People are crazy

Ill try to be of some help. I'd try reflashing your rom from an external SD card. No guarantees as I've not run into this problem, but it's worth a try.

No luck. I can't use my emmc memory. 8 gig SD is still ok
Here is what I did to fix it...
1) Made a nandroid backup of my RevoHD 6 setup
2) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3) Wipe Dalvik and Cahche
4) Format EMMC
I then restored from another nandroid backup that I had loaded and I can now open my EMMC from windows computer!

Format internal sd card question

I'm currently using twrp with the eclipse rom. If I flash cwm then format my internal sd card, then flash back the rom, will I be gtg? Just wondering if I lose root or recovery by formatting the internal sd card. Thanks in advance!

Anyone?

You will not lose root, but you should NOT format your internal SD card, unless on the stock rom. Formatting the internal SD caused a boot loop for many S4 users on custom roms, including me, and the only solution is to ODIN back to stock. There is really no need to format your internal SD. If you don't have enough memory, just see what is taking up the space and delete it manually. If you want a squeaky clean slate, make sure you know how to ODIN to stock first.
Also know that after you ODIN back to stock you WILL need to root again.
Hope this helped.

Thank you for your reply and yes it had clarified. I'm looking to format to clean up all of the framework/mod/extra installs that I have done between roms. I know to Odin back to stock and all of that. Thanks again!
