Well...this is the problem.A friend of mine took off the SD card out of the phone(my phone is rooted,custom rom and kernel)and the phone just blocked. I took the battery out and now it stalls at the Android logo(megatron rom btw). What can I do?
put the sd back in
It didn't worked. After all, I went into recovery mode, activated usb mode, put the megatron zip rom back again and flashed it again. It worked
if it didnt worked, he deleted the critical system files duh..

I've checked the other threads for solutions and I've tried many different things today but my phone still doesn't work, so I guess I should make a thread and ask you guys directly.
Ok, so my phone stopped working last night. It was running stock everything. Only upgraded to Froyo through Kies Mini a long time ago. Anyway, when I powered up the phone, it gets to the Galaxy S logo and then the screen dies. It's technically still on, since the four keys light up when I tap the screen. I took the battery out for a bit and put it back in, same thing. Logn story short, I tried to odin it back to stock JFD this morning and it didn't change anything. The screen goes to black right after the logos. Then I tried Eugene's Vibrant_Full_Froydin_AND_2E_Recovery_+SD_Fixed. It sorta worked. By that I mean, the phone loads up the OS and I got the home screen, but now it doesn't recognize the internal SD card. In fact, the notification gives me "Blank Internal SD card." In the Settings area, the phone storage read as either unavailable or 0.0 space. I tried to odin back to stock but then it gets stuck on Galaxy S logo again. I've tried this back and forth multiple times and it's still the same. Either it gets stuck on the logo or it doesn't recognize the internal sd card. I've tried it with repartition on and repartition off, but no difference.
So, are there any trick to fixing this? Thanks in advance!
Could you post the links to the files you are flashing? Honestly ODIN should have fixed it.

Hi. I got the stock JVD from the Noob Guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028). I followed the steps there to flash to stock through ODIN and I got the black screen/lighted buttons. Then I downloaded and flashed it with the one that came with the toolbox (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954509). same thing, black screen with lighted buttons. I also tried Eugene's ROMs (Eugene_SD+2E_JK2_Froyo - http://www.multiupload.com/12QAKU043I and the Froyo ~That does not Brick! - http://www.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html). Both links are from Eugene's forum page.
The only "success" I have so far is using Eugene_SD+2E_JK2_Froyo, but whenever it's loaded, I always get the "Blank internal sd card" notification and the phone storage is shown as unavailable. :\
Bump. I'm still trying to get this phone to work. :\

Didn't quite work for me unfortunately.
1. When it's in recovery mode, I can't get adb to connect. I can only do it when it's loaded up.
2. When I tried to do print in parted, I get this error
Error: /dev/block/mmcblk0: unrecognised disk label

Do you have external card in the phone? First try taking it out and then reboot without it and see what happens. If that doesn't do anything..try the cleaning and repartitioning method posted by Br1ck'd ..
I have posted about it in several threads, including my own, so I figured I would finally put it in a central location. This is my FTDNB method for starting with a fresh, clean phone, without any ghosts of roms past popping up to cause you issues.
Download this first, and flash through Odin with your standard 512 pit file
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/...splay&thread=8
Then when it reboots to the recovery screen, pull your battery, reinsert it and boot up to dl mode, and flash the following, with your same pit file, and selecting repartition in Odin this second flash only:
http://eb-productions.proboards.com/...splay&thread=3
The first link there is Eugene's Froyo That Does Not Brick, but it doesnt work that well as a driver. As an eraser its great though! The second link is the Froyo JK2 leak, with fixed recovery and already rooted. If the first one didnt, the second flash will definitely put you back on Froyo bootloaders.
Thats my whole secret to keeping a clean phone and wiping out any ghosts. You can proceed from there in your desired direction (back to ZD or GZ preferrably) in a safe manner. Its always worked for me to clear up any oddness, and literally takes 15 minutes tops once you have the files downloaded.

I've tried that before. Eugene's Vibrant_Full_Froydin_AND_2E_Recovery_+SD_Fixed (Froyo JK2 leak) is the one that lets me load the system all the way through (better than running stock JVF which only gets me to the logo and then gets stuck). The internal sd card problem remains however. I get the "Blank internal sd card" notification. The phone can't function properly.
EDIT: I finally got the external sd card to work. Is there any program for me to fix my internal sd through my external sd card?
I'm having similar problems. Flashed back to stock Froyo using Heimdall (Mac only here), everything seemed fine, but when it all came back to life, I have no service and my Internal SD card is blank and cannot be reformatted.
It won't mount in the recovery tools, and so unable to format.
Any thoughts on how to restore functionality??
Bump. I'm still trying to get my phone working again. Thanks in advance!
If it just "happend" one day, then you're looking at a hardware failure. Flashing firmware can only make it worse.

'I had a similar problem but later learned tht the SD card was actually damaged some how during flashing'
so try using a new SD card and Odin back to stock
Hello, i currently own a HTC EVO 3D GSM, fully rooted and S-OFF'd.
I'm running stock rom, without any major modifications.
Earlier today i was doing a nandroid backup, just before wanting to try out LeeDroid ROM. The nandroid went through just fine, then i rebooted the phone on to do a titanium backup & sync to my dropbox.
Now i used my app "Hot Reboot" to simply do a reboot into bootloader.
The app didn't work (dont know why), so i closed it down and did a manual shut down and then battery pull.
When i put the battery in, and tried to boot the phone into bootloader, it didn't start.
I tried to do a normal boot, didn't start.
I tried to plug it into my charger. The light didn't turn on.
I removed the back cover, removed battery, SIM card, SD card and tried to get rid of any possible dust (i was kind of panicing here).
Put it all back in, same result.
I tried switching SD card to my old stock 8gb sdc4 sandisk. This time it finallly booted and everything worked like before.
I turned the phone off, and replaced the 8gb SD card with my 32gb SD card. Now this also worked fine.
I have no idea how or why this happened, but if anyone could shed some light on why/how it happened? Maybe i could avoid it happening again, because i was kinda freaking out when i thought i had a possible brick.

Continuum Brick?
I have been reading since 2pm today. I'm lost in threads and advice about a bricked phone. I have a Continuum that shows a fuzzy screen. I can't see to get a download mode. The options are off or pixelated/fuzz screen. Is soldering still required? I was attempting to use CWM. I am not sure bad cable or what but it went down hill. My Win7 PC shows 0bytes free on the Continuum. I apolgize if this is the wrong area for my questions. I successfully rooted an Epic and a Kyocera Echo without too much trouble. I appreciate any thoughts, comments, and suggestions. Thanks in advance!!
This is my sister's phone so I may not be alive in the morning j/k
Today I have downloaded Ubuntu, Android SDK, One Click Unbrick, Resurrection, Java, and a host of other Android related files. I was SO sure all my clicking would bring me back to stock.
Since I've lurked the forums for a few days and found no solution I'm doing an update to a post my brother posted about my phone a few weeks ago:
I was running Bionix 1.31 on my Vibrant, everything was wonderful! Smooth speed, GPS working great and everything, so I decided to flash DoW14 kernel v1.1.1 HD so I could have voodoo color, sound and BLN. First few weeks phone was working great! Then started to act strangely… sometimes it rebooted or turned off by itself and no matter what earphones I plugged to listen to some music, randomly stopped playing just as if I unplugged the headphones. Then two weeks ago I was using my phone and I put it in my pocket… when I pulled it out to use it again, it was off. Turned it on and it was stuck on the booting screen, after like 10 minutes I realized it was soft-bricked. I can get to download mode, though, so I used AIO Toolbox and flashed back to stock with Odin, flash was successful but when I turned my phone on shortly after the Vibrant screen it rebooted and did the same over and over again. Tried to flash back to stock a few times now and I get the same.
I ended up hard-bricking the phone, so I took it to a guy with a Riffbox and even after restoring the bootloader and all, still the same problem.
Thought it might be Voodoo Lagfix, flashed Eugene’s FTDB and flashed JFD, when it is loading up after the “Vibrant” screen it just turns off, I slide my external SD card in and I get this: youtube /watch?v=7Vhp1B3g_2w. Flashed Eugene’s again and rebooted with adb, after the galaxy S animation the screen goes black with the softkeys on (they turn off as I touch them). I can get to the phone with adb, on the system partition everything looks fine but on /data there is only 1 folder called “dontpanic” and it is empty… I tried to reach my internal SD card but it says “permissions denied” and the su command doesn't work.
The internal SD card might be dead or something, but I have no idea on how to confirm that.
Your help is very much appreciated!
FIXED!! Or something like that.
Using Odin, I flashed this version of Eugene's Froyo: mediafire /?dc2ngbbgsjgpc00 it booted into recovery so it gave me the chance to wipe data and cache, rebooted into system and voilá!
There's still a problem: The phone does not detect my internal or external SD cards... it says that it has 0.00B of space. I think there is a solution for that somewhere around XDA, will try to find it. If you know it, I would very much appreciate your help.
And I can't flash back to stock, if I do, I go back to where I was. :/
Taking a stab in the dark here, but perhaps it needs to be repartitioned? I believe there's a selectable option for that in ODIN.
Yeah, when I flashed this ROM I checked the repartition box and I still have the problem... :/
I also get the RIL reset error, like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835513
Hello everyone,
Last month I rooted my LG G2, and installed cyanogenmod. Everything was going smoothly but for some reason I decided to restore my phone from a backup I made before installing cyan and then just continued using it like that. Two nights ago an android software update took place automatically overnight and when I woke up it was just stuck in the TWRP menu. I tried restoring from previous backups, wiping it and re installing the cyanogenmod that was still on the virtual SD card to no avail, and finally completely formatting the phone to see if I could get it to show up on the computer because it makes the connection noise but it doesn't show up as a device or hard drive.
So now when it boots up it shows the LG logo and then brings me back to TWRP but now I have no restore points on the phone. So is there anyway to get my computer to recognize it so I can add files and hopefully get a working backup on the phone? Or is there a way I can even just flash the stock firmware on it again? Or am I out of luck?

so you formatted your sdcard too. (jokes aside, thats genius). Mind my sarcastic fun-poking, you will have to put your phone into emergency mode and use a tool to flash the stock rom. Usually you can navigate to the manufacturers support page and they will have an updater tool that can flash one of the updates. if not, then scour the forums for an unbrick guide that will flash the stock rom from emergency mode.
I bought a Lg f6 Metro PCS version a few weeks ago. I rooted it with Kingo Root, flashed the freedom kernel on it, created an adb with my laptop, Titanium backup, ROM installer, ROM Light, SuperSu, etc. Created a permanent Clockwork recovery and had also flashed the Experion custom rom on it. Up until then the phone was running great no problems. Tuesday night I tried to upgrade to a different version of Android the phone has 4.1.2 on it. I downloaded 5 zip files from the internet. Transfered them to the external sdcard flashed the first one it was fine. Then I flashed a radio zip and the phone went into reboot mode. The phone became soft bricked stayed at the LG icon nothing else. I then flashed the Experion custom rom again and the phone rebooted and came out of soft brick mode. Booted the rom back into normal mode. Here is the issue I lost stock rom on the phone, baseline is unknown now, and the phone's identity imei and everything else that comes up on the screen in the settings menu is blank. Other things were lost like keyboard and the dialer pad, phone is working but I think it might be bugged some way. Is there a way the original Android rom can be put back on the phone and all the above mentioned things be restored. I have already bought a new phone. I want to see if I can fix it before I decide to just scrap it. Are there any shops or professional services that specialize in Android software recovery/programing.
P.s I have tried flashing every stock rom, kdz, and the such on my own no such luck the little Android icon on custom recovery just goes into error state.
Thanks!
