Hi all!
I know that there's a lot of threads with questions similar to mine but after reading many of them I can't really find an answer.
So as my problem suddenly just appeared a few days ago, I'm taking the chance of some good feedback from you guys and girls!
The problem is that my sweetheart suddenly freezes, the screen is on but nothing happens and the only thing to do is to make a hard reset with the power button.
This issue started happening just a few days ago.
The phone is rooted and i'm flashing new roms almost every day.
I'm not exactly sure of which rom I was using when the problem first occurred but it might have been DlevROM2 v.2.1.1...? But like I said before, i'm flashing and testing a lot so I might be wrong!
I've now just done a full reset and flashed the latest CyanogenMod v.7.1.0 but after a few minutes "my darling" freezed.
Does anyone know why she keeps doing this to me?
I really love her and would like to have her back the way she was before....reliable and simply amazing!
Please!
Best regards!

I'm not an expert in this, but try flashing a stock rom just to see if the problem is still happening, if it still happens try formatting your phone from settings > Storage > format SD card and phone. Make a backup in your PC or .. you can wait for an expert to help you in this thread
Edit: Make sure ur phone isn't undervolted

Thanks for the feedback PunkOz!
I will absolutely try that tomorrow!
While sitting here hoping for some answers I actually began thinking of the internal sd and my ext sd and all the data that they have been dealing with lately. Maybe it's like you say, a formatting of them both might be a very good idea!
I use the ext sd first and foremost for my Titanium Backups and I restore/backup a lot so it might be corrupted or just in need of a fresh start.
Thanks again!
Time for bed here in Sweden but I appreciate every thought/answer to my problem!
See you all tomorrow!
Hi again!
I don't know if the problem i totally solved but it appears to be!
I've formatted both of my sd-cards (int and ext) and removed some stuff that I wasn't using. This seems to have help me with the occasionally freezing!
So thank u PunkOz!

16gb Nook Tablet. Internal NookOS has never been messed with. I've been running CM7 from the SD card. The CM7 crashes a lot because of my SD card and apparently that's messed up the NookOS and now I can't boot back into the internal. I've tried the step-by-step Unbrick from the thread here and that didn't work. It keeps going back to "Please Restart Your Device...".
Any ideas?
I am of no help but can offer one thing
hey I am having a similar problem, mine nt stopped working (spontaneously started trying to factory restore and failing over and over) then I booted off sd, cm7 for a while.

You might want to keep an eye on the topic I posted today as well see if anyone has some help
Thanks. I thought about piggybacking on your thread, but then I decided against it. We are having similar problems. I guess we should keep an eye on each others threads.

Please tell us what you tried. .
I would recommend a CWM Recovery placed onto a ( good ) spare SD Card and boot it up ( from an 'off' condition ) by plugging in the power to the usb port.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21895025&postcount=14
.
or how about a "a clockwork mod backup of stock rooted" ?

And thoroughly read and ask questions. The worst thing to do is NOT ask a question.
Thanks for replying. This is what I tried...

ah, and did you read this thread ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1610682
it was at the top of a google search.
I did check that out. Since it involved having rooted the internal and using CWM I kinda figured it might not apply to my situation.
I'm going to try the Ubuntu method. I'm downloading the image now. I didn't realize it's over a gig! Gonna take a few hours.
Any alternate links? This one is slow as heck.
I have read several times that the 'Ubuntu Method' does not work if you got bad ( goofed up ) partitions.

Isn't that the method you recommended before? Any other advice?
Edit: I suppose you didn't recommend it, you just pointed me at that thread. Not trying to insinuate you gave me bad advice.
First, about 10% of the time when I reboot my SD card gets corrupted and I either have to pop it out of the phone and run checkdisk on it to fix it or reformat it with the phone. Should I blame this behavior on the card or on the phone?
Second, I don't seem to have 3G data any more, it's either 1x, WIMAX, or wifi for me nowadays. I'm currently running the ICS Viper Rom, but this problem has been around for awhile. It just hasn't really bothered me enough to look into it until lately.
Thanks for any answers you can give me.
My guess is the sdcard is going bad. And 3G i would try updating everything from a stock rooted rom. If all else fails and your s off run the ruu and start fresh.
All right, I guess it's a new card and a new ROM for me. Thanks for the advice.

Welcome.
I'm currently using sgs2 with stock gingerbread.
My problem is, my phone seems to be locked on a specific state dated march 3rd 2013.
whenever i format usb storage or reboot my phone, it always back the way it was
e.g. when i tried to un/install apps or deleting files (succesfully), and then i rebooted it, the apps or files are still there such way unharmed.
i remember its somewhat like deep frezee. but usually, something like this only works on settings right?
its really nonsense when i deleted 8 gigs of file then i do a format/reboot, the 8 gigs files came up again like nothing has happened.
Already tried factory reset and unchecked restore backup settings.
Never faced something like this before, help is much appreciated
Sound like a problem with the rom, best thing you can do is backup everything (data) and do a complete wipe through recovery and flash a clean rom again. Very strange but have never (in all my experiece of IT etc) come across stuck dates and data that wont dissapear.
Edit: maybe this is a damaged or corrupt filing system? Still, the fix for tha would to be a complete format.

before this, a had an issue with the sd card, it suddenly went corrupt and cant be read anywhere. maybe this is one of the factors too?
i do planned reflashing it with jelly bean, but i'm still curios what has caused this so i can prevent and understand the problem..
my phone cant make new memories as well, new files are nowhere to be found after reboot.
thanks for the reply jl10101
btw this reminds me of memento
I am a noob and I am not a developer or even really great at programming or PC's in general.
I've managed to mess up my phone and have been looking all over the web for how to fix it and I am at a loss.
I decided to register and ask for help. Please be patient and understanding if I ask a lot of questions or don't understand things you accept as basic, understood or common. I looked through existing threads for help and couldn't find the answer I needed. Many thanks in advance for the help. Readers digest of the issue below.
Samsung Galaxy S 4G. T-Mobile. T959V5B5-Custom.
I tried the non-mandatory firmware update from T-mobile and it wrecked the functionality of my phone. I tried to go back with a couple new Rom versions and think I more or less ended up with three roms installed on my internal storage which has given me basically no space which was never an issue for me before. I have used a disk viewer to verify there is unmounted data that is taking up space but I can't figure out how to get to it through the phone or my pc to delete it. I assume if I do this that the empty space will be absorbed and fix the internal storage issue.
Again, thank you for taking the time to read and respond. I love my phone and just want it working right again.

The course of action I would recommend at this point is using a tool called Odin to re-flash the stock ROM to your phone. I would recommend taking a look at this guide for the step-by-step procedure on how to do this. Let me know if you still have questions .

Hey! Big thanks for the reply. Here come the questions...
I used Odin to put the other OS versions on the phone so I am familiar with the software though its been several months. I also still have the ROM that I flashed to phone. I am curious though that if it didn't wipe the previous partitions last time, what would keep it from doing the same thing this time and really messing me up? Or did I click or not click something in Odin or use the wrong option and doing it differently this time would fix the problem?
I located the files on the phone and have verified they are not mounted and looked at their size using DiskInfo. They are located at "/dev/block". Do you know what this is or why they are there? I can delete them using ES File Explorer with SuperUser. Is it ok to delete these and would I get the benefit of increased storage by doing so? I played around with moving them to the SD card and didn't see an increase in my internal storage but was afraid that a reboot after doing to might be bad.
Can you tell I am a little gun shy?
Here are the names of the files, the set starting with t starts at 0 and goes to 12 and the other 1 to 12.

Thanks again!

Using Odin to re-flash the stock ROM will automatically setup the right configuration for. Do Not delete the files in /dev/block these are critical to the phones operation and part of the phones normal partitioning and operation as previously stated deleting these will cause a lot of problems if you delete them. If you really want to free up some internal storage space I would recommend deleting the carrier pre-installed bloatware, before you delete any bloatware makesure to backup the apps you deleted with Titanium Backup or a similar backup or flash Clockworkmod Recovery or Team Win Recovery Project and make a Nandroid Backup which is a complete backup of your phone. And don't worry about being gun shy we are all beginners at some point the only real way to become an expert if practice, practice, practice .
So I am working on the Heimdall One-Click.
Handshaking with loke, got no response. FML.
Help.
Edited: Apparently a low battery is not your friend...
after a little reading around on the net I tried a different one and BAM.
Back to stock. We'll see how this goes.
Being rooted with superuser had me spoiled...so much bloatware.
Hi, It's been like 3 months I bought s2 from a friend and he told me that it's internal memory is corrupted,
I have no clue how to solve this or even give it a term and search for it,
The phone wipes all the data on every restart, and every time I have to set-up the OS from the beginning.
And the phone isn't showing internal memory.
Is this issue fixable or should i stop trying?
I will be really thankful if somebody guides me.
Please I really want to resolve this problem.

does each restart really wipes the os? Which rom,kernel are you using?
Are you rooted?
Have you tried a factory reset?
Either dont restart it or look into pit files.
