You might have damaged the internal memory card. There is a way to test it (can't remember off the top of my head but search). Do the test and see what it says. Hopefully it's just a bad write that can be fixed.
Sent from my Dell Streak XDA premium app - please excuse my miswyping

yes, thank you for showing me that test. I can confirm that the Internal SD has failed.
What are the next steps to be taken? Can this be fixed. In the meantime I will search for it also.
well i found out that the internal memory is acctually just another sd card. And it can be replaced by taking the phone apart.

I would say if you still have a warranty call dell for a replacement. If not try to formatt the internal sd card before replacing it.

im trying to figure out how to format it. Will it be ext3, and I dont want to have to install linux to do that
Can it be done in windows?

well i fixed it by popping in a new internal sd card. 2GB and i didnt format it or anything. once i put it in i chose factory reset, thinking that might format it properly. Then I flashed it with QDL tool. All went well

Great glad to hear that

Mounting card major issues! Please help!

Ok so I bought a new 8gb card today but it would not let me put anything on it. Started showing that mounting error that has been affecting the leaked froyo Roms. So after about 2 hours trying to get it to work I decided to install the Leaked Stock Froyo Rom instead. using Odin.bad move on my part because now after a new install. I'm getting the mounting error on my internal SD card now.wont let me transfer files or music over without that dam mounting error. Tried everything.problem is I can't get the mountingfix to flash now using Rom Manager. Wont work.think its because its for e2 recovery and I'm now using e3 recovery. Someone please help me out.I'm about to loose my mind. I'm stressed to the breaking point. I lost my dad on Tuesday night from cancer. I'm trying to take my mind off it by using my phone for music and videos.so please help me out.thanks a million friends!

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!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
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

[Q] SD there but not there

So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

[Q] 7 hours, tons of threads, still no results...

Hi Guys,
I recently got a ATT S2 and the first thing I tried to do is root it. I followed this guide.
wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_%28AT%26T%29:_Full_Update_Guide
I successfully installed CWM, but I cannot flash a rom using my SD card. Whenever I click install from internal sd card, I get a mounting issue.
(e: Can't mount /emmc/)
I am using the INTERNAL Sd card mounting.
Also, I cannot connect to ODIN or SuperOneClick. FOr some reason I can only use Heimdall.exe to install the CWM.
I am totally out of energy guys. I am ready to give up and stick to stock.
BTW. my phone is not bricked, I can turn it on fine.
The sd card is also not broken; I have two of them that I tried, both the same issue.
You flash probably the cm kernel. If your phone works do a master reset or factory reset from settings menu that should bring you back to stock. If not maybe this will help
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301682 is a bit old but should get you the proper kernel instale

I already know that I flashed the CWM. I want to know why I can't recognize my SD card so i can change a rom.
Choose Install from SD. Not from internal sd.
The mount points are off. Samsung mounts the external inside of /sdcard instead of at the root of the filesystem. The how-tos here were infinitely more helpful to me than cyanogen's, but that was months ago.

Cant Mount SD Card In Recovery

Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

[Q] Stuck on Jellybam bootlogo

Hi There, Ive looked through the forums and searched the web and cant find an answer or a solution any where so i was really hoping for some help. I have just installed Jellybam 4.2.1 to my I9300 following this guide on mobotechie {I cant post the link yet}
The install went fine but when I rebooted in Clockwork mod for the first time I am stuck at the jellybam bootlogo screen (past the samsung screen and onto the screen that has jellybam written at the bottom with the android rocket flying through space). Its been flying through space for about 20 minutes now and im really stuck for what to do.
I installed from the standard 4.1.2 jellybean with a flash from a zip file on sd card on clockwork mod. I know the first boot should take a bit longer but from what I have read, it should only take 5 minutes or so. I really hope someone can help me.

I have done that which has sorted that problem out, thanks. but now I have another problem. It says that my sd card is damaged. So I took it out and put it in my PC, re-formatted s exfat and then ran chkdsk to check and repair errors. I have put it back in the phone and it still says "sd card is damaged, try reformatting". when I try this it just stays on the box that reads "unmounting sd card" and then nothiung happens. I really dont know what to try next.
Your sdcard needs to be formatted as fat32
