You haven't screwed up your phone but you have lost your data if you haven't done a nandroid... Why do you format your SD BTW? It is not necessary unless you have Apps2SD... Also a nandroid doesen't save your SD card data it saves your custom ROM with all your mods to your SD... Your text is actually quite confusing... Have you lost your modified ROM or your SD card data? If it's your SD card data you might be able to find software on the internet for recovery of lost files...
just download a new rom;
go into recovery;
check 'usb toggle mode';
copy *.zip to your phone;
wipe all the things you need to wipe;
flash your *.zip
*after you've created a new BART or Nandroid backup of your working system,
copy the BART or Nandroid folder from your SD-card to your local pc so you always have a good backup by hand
**you have NOT bricked your phone so don't stress out
i was going to add a custom rom to it but then decided not to and not thinking i clicked update in my about phone settings and next thing i knew my phone rebooted and bam here i am now.
i did try to recover my stock rom but no luck.
i have clockworkmod recovery v3.2.0.1
oh and also everytime i try and do a recovery or a install zip from sdcard i get errors ((android_secure.img not found. skipping restore of /sdcard/.android_secure." then it lists sd-ext.img not found skipping restore))

Hi
Firstly you need to format your sd card via a card reader and make sure before formatting u need to backup all its content to a folder on ur PC.If u r unable to get it to your PC then it may be a dead sd. If works.... Then copy the nandroid backup in your sd card... hope u had taken before flashing...... if not then try official rom in zip format (flashable format....search xda).
Copy the zip in the sd card.
Then install the sd card in the phone again...
Reboot into recovery.
Before installing u have to:
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik
Wipe data n settings (factory reset)
Format /system
Then install zip from sd card
Locate the rom...
...wait
flashing done
Reboot n enjoy....
NOTE..::::------------->>>>>>>>>>>
If in case your sd card not works after formating then its dead.
If somehow u r able to detect your sd card in your Pc. Then try the following commands to fix it through your windows PC:
Open command prompt
Type:------
FORMAT E: (suppose e: is the drive letter of your sd card, change the drive according to your pc)
After then.....
CHKDSK E: /f / r
This may be bring your sd card to life....
If your recovery not works then try to flash another recovery..... if still facing errors while flashing. Then u need to push recovery to your phone via fast boot mode through adb... search the xda for full illustration...:thumbup:

Hi guys,
My SD card got corrupted before flashing a rom, so I'm a bit stuck (I can access the CWM menu, the kernel is fine).
So I formatted the card to FAT32 (tried other formats) but when I try and flash an update.zip from it I get
E:Can't mount /sdcard/
So I'm thinking, are there some files missing from the SD card that CWM/android need to interact with it? I can imagine these files were wiped when I did a format. Like superuser files or something? You know also, those hidden files beginning with '.'
I've tried all the usual methods like formatting using SDFormatter and stuff - still, CWM can't see it (my computer can if USB is mounted). Am I right in thinking I need some kind of system files on the SD card?
Any help?
Thanks in advance
the best would be paid copy a rom sd card and flash, or flash a rom stock also either ics or gb and see if there cel recognize SD can not think of anything else. :highfive:
Ok, I guess I'll try that if there's nothing else. If I flash an official .ftf with Flashtool will I need to do anything to my bootloader (currently unlocked)?
Edit: I've been reading around and it seems almost certain that my sd card just needs some vital files on it for CWM and android...
Try by simply reflashing any kernel with cwm if your sd card is readable from pc it is not corrupted, it's more likely somethign wrong with cwm, you should be able to fix reflashing kernel which shouldn't be much of a prob since you have unlocked bl

Hey nice idea, but I tried that earlier and multiple kernels give the same error - it can't be CWM, it must be the SD card (or what's not on the SD card).
Edit: I've tried chkdsk and formatting to a variety of systems using a variety of partition managers, nothings works, my phone just can't mount the SD.

First backup your nandroid backup (if you have one) in a secure place (not the sdcard)
Put your sd card on some other android phone with cwm and format it from the cwm mount/storage option.
if you don't have a nandroid backup skip the next two steps.
mount the sdcard in your computer and create two folders in the sdcard (a folder inside a folder) name the parent folder as "clockworkmod" and child as "backup" .
Put your nandroid backup in /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Now put the Rom zip file you want to flash in the root of the sd card
Power down your phone.
Put the memory card in your phone
Boot into cwm and try to flash the rom.
If the second step fails with "error mounting sd card" try with another memory card or with another phone.

Hi all,
need to ask a couple of questions regarding the EFS backup.
1) If i use the kTool for EFS backup and do a total wipe before flashing custom ROM, (mounts and storage>format system) will the EFS backup also get wiped out? My common sense tells me yes since the internal SD will be wiped out and kTool saves the EFS files on the internal SD but just want to be sure so that i can search an alternative method for backing up as i want to flash custom ROM with total wipe.
2) Does the EFS Pro app save the EFS backup on the internal SD only or does it have an option to save on ext SD card?
3) Do i just have to be rooted to backup my EFS files? Im just asking as im terribly obsessed my EFS files will get corrupt while rooting the phone! Is there a simple way to backup my EFS files on my ext SD card without root?
4) Can my EFS files really get corrupt just by rooting my phone?
Thanks in advance for any feedback

I know nothing about EFS backup but how about this. I assume you have access to a PC and the usb cable that came with the fone. Or else you do have a microsd card in the fone. Why don't you do the backup and copy the files to either the microsd card or a PC. That way you know you have a backup you can use.
In most cases, and someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the format system will not touch your backups.

Yes very true, i can also do that and it also crossed my mind but im afraid that by doing so, copying the EFS files and folders onto a PC or directly to the ext SD card will alter the files and folders in a way that they cannot be restored and i dont want to take that risk unless im totally sure of what im doing or if this can actually be done.
Thanks just the same for ur feedback
Ok so I just found out that with EFS Pro I can backup on my pc safely. Do I need to be rooted to use this app and safely backup the efs files?
Thanks
I'm so depressed .. i have write a img on my enternal sd card ,,
i did that to install chromium os on my laptop .. cuz i don't have a usb memory .. so i did it on my sd
when the writing is over and everything is done ... i tried to open the sd card from my laptop and it didn't open .. it keep telling me THE FILE IS CORRUPTED ... something like that .. so i did a format for the sd but the space after formatting had been changed to 1G .. it was 16G!!!
and i wasn't able to acces the sd card which means that the sd is nothing no acces a FAKE 1G space ... any ideas how to fix this ?
and if changed the rom will it work ? ,, please ): :crying:
and to notice that the sd was connected to the laptop through my sgs2
internal or external sdcard?
you wrote enternal... so i cant tell which 1
anyway try rebooting phone or formatting card through cwm.. or using command prompt, type
cd..
cd..
cd..
format /U (Drive name)

or try partitioning the card using cwm and then remove the partition through pc (right click my computer--> manage---> disk management--> right click partition remove)
your phone will say damaged sd card format? hit yes and reboot...
or use EASEUS DATA RECOVERY SOFTWARE...
and hope for the best...
and dont forget to press thanks
actually i can't access CWM .. because may be after the format the cwm files removed
