I tried to root my phone. I got the Superuser on. I got clockwork recovery on. Then I tried to install a Rom. The rom said it had an error with the status bar. What I read on some of the forums said wipe and reinstall. I figured well if the the wipe is good. I'll just delete the partations. So I've deleted the partations and re-formated the partions. I can get into the recovery console but it doesn't see the SD card so I can't load the rom. When it boots normally it just comes up to a galaxy screen and hangs. Obviously because the file system is gone.
It's a Galaxy S 2 by sprint. What can I do?
Format your SD card with your PC, place some roms on it, re-insert it in your device, do a full wipe of data and cache, then flash a different rom of your choice.
sd card
So I have copied roms to my sd card but it says there is no files on the SD card. I have go into clockwork and turn on the USB storage and copied the rom there as well. But still no joy.

Make sure the files are in "zip" format (.zip after the filename).

I wiped everything, re-partioned sd-card and tried to install a new ROM..
But something have happend..
After i re-patrioned / wiped... and flash the rom (have tried a lot of ROM's now) i get errors..
Install from sdcard
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/Cronos-2-0J_.zip
(bad)
Installation aborted.
Happends now on every rom i install, have already tried again to re-partion.
What is the most basic way to re-partion ? settings i mean?
Anyone know what could be the problem..
The zip files cant be corrupt either.
* I also noticed that if i upload a ROM-file, then re-partion and wipe everything..
The rom is still on the sd-card..
I then deleted the rom from sdcard and re-partion again, and still..even duo i already deleted the file.. its there?
Maybe it is because of the SD Card.. So if you have another one try it
I had this same problem i had to do a full format of the SD card then all worked fine never had the problem again strange
If you ecejt the SD card before its done (or eject it wrong) you may and up with a bad file.
What you could do is:
Format your SD card.
Then put a rom on it.
Then go to my pc, and find ur card, then right click and select eject
Yea something strange with your sdcard.
Try as they stated above. Remove the sdcard from your phone. Insert it back in.
Try to reformat it with a different sdcard setup like: no swap, no ext only fat32.
Then check if the card is still behaving the same if not good. If so maybe the sdcard is just defect?
Good Luck.

same issue here, solved this way.
Did you flash an exotic recovery image by any chance?
You can always reflash 1 back by pushing it to /cache/ and flashing from there.
A radical way to overcome this would be to delete the partition table on your SDcard and let your current rom reformat it.
Im bumping my own thread.. Last time i bought a new sdcard..
Now this **** have happend again.. I get the same error as before!
How should i do this? Is there any other way then whats posted now?
Happens on all Roms
This is quite obvious but you make no mention of what recovery image is on you sd card?
I assume you saved the old image you were using and put it back on your sd card
Yes,maybe you recovery image is damaged.
Try to install again!
It sounds like your sd card is not actually partitioning since the rom is still on the sd card. To partition the sd manually try this:
I'm going to assume the following:
You are using Amon Ra recovery
You have not downloaded Clock Work recovery
You can still get into recovery using Amon Ra
You have SDK and JDK installed
You're using windows
Plug your phone into the computer. Open a command prompt (hit start and type cmd and press enter). Direct it to read from the tools directory of sdk " cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" for most people. Now follow the directions from this how-to http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/. Stop after step 4 and type "quit" unless you plan on repartioning your sd card (in which case, choose which partitions you wish to make). Move the new rom you want to boot to the sd card and try again.
Quick question everyone. How do I, and how should I format sd card for flashing GB rom from kaos froyo?
seems that most people have had good luck booting to recovery, mounting usb in recovery, formatting sd from computer, disconnect usb from recovery, then flash whatever rom you want.
I used the format option in recovery and formatted mine that way then connected to my pc and mounted usb to copy the rom and gapps to my sd card and flashed while still in recovery.

I did this exact same thing.
Thanks guys!
I'd like to note that I have all sorts of junk on my SD card, and haven't had a problem with any GB ROM yet.
BUT...I use Clockwork Mod through ROM Manager, which when wiping data, wipes the .android-secure folder, which is most likely anyone's trouble if they "merely" use Amon RA's wipe data option, which does not wipe .android-secure.
when i boot to recovery in the phone it tells me to reformat the sd card from adb. how do i do that?

Afraid an ADB expert will have to answer that, I've never had that problem.
I'm having some trouble right now.. I rooted my phone, I put Hellybean onto my microsd card. I booted to android system recovery > reinstall packages, and then i deleted cache, formatted system, deleted the other cache etc.
I tried to find the hellybean zip on my microsd card but it was no where to be found.. So I rebooted my phone and now I have no OS, and when I boot into recovery and go to reinstall packages to try and get back to clockwork mod recovery menu it's not there either (assuming I'm missing the files to go there now).
What can I do guys? Do I need to get 2.3 back on here again and redo everything.. when I get back to where I'm going to flash the hellybean rom how do I find the file on my sd card? I went to SD folder and it wasn't there but I checked my sd card and it is there on the computer.
The ROM zip needs to be on your internal storage.
Mount on your PC, if your internal storage shows move ROM there with update.zip for Clockwork Mod.
Reinstall packages and once in cwm you'll be able to install HB from the zip.
If you can't see internal storage I'd Odin back to stock and then try again.

Sorry I didn't understand what you meant in the beginning. Mount on your pc? Explain a little?
If that doesn't work how do I use Odin to flash back to stock, what do I need to do, i don't need a full detailed guide but just what files and what buttons to press on odin.
There are lots of very detailed Odin guides. Look around. I wasn't real clear at first if you could get in CWM recovery. If you could, then you could Mount Storage and your PC would have seen the internal storage, thus allowing you to put the ROM.zip on it..
Look in the stickies for Odin guide. They are easy to follow. I'd tell you how to do it, but if you read it yourself you'll understand what your doing, and it will help you in the long run.

It concerns me that you said: "Do I need to get 2.3 back on here again"
The t959 never received an official 2.3 update. Does your device have a front facing camera? If so you have the t959v which is a very different device and is in a different section on xda.

The guide to ODIN back to factory stock is in the first sticky thread of this section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028
But also make sure you are using the Vibrant and flashing roms for it, not the S 4G.
hello, i was running cm7 on my phone and decided i wanted to switch to nottatrix
i put the files on my external sd card and went into recovery did a factory wipe and then a cache wipe and then a dalvik cache wipe
then i accidently managed to click partition internal sd to 128mb while trying to get back to the main menu
i then rebooted into recovery to try and install my files for the new rom and it says no files found anywhere
i then tried to reboot into my backup i did yesterday and it says there is no backup?
iv turned the phone off to save the battery please help me i dont know what too do?
would this work? put sd card in card reader put rom back on it then install from recovery?
also can someone explain what partitioning does and why all my files have been deleted from my sd card ?
When you lift the partition on a file system....it is erased. Your files are gone.....hard lesson learned.

it must work, i had to do it once, just place the rom in the sd card again, enter recovery and install the rom
I first tried to root the phone. I succeeded. The I installed RR and it got stuck in bootloop. Basically after half an hour it was still on the Resurrection Remix Logo. So then I remembered I forgot to format the phone first.
So I formatted everything except my SD card.
So now when I press "-Choose zip from sdcard" it says No Files found. I assume this is the internal memory because when I take the micro SD card out it has the rom on it and has not been formatted.
Now heres the issue.
When I press "- choose zip from internal sdcard" it says "E:Can't mount /emmc/" which I assume is the micro SD card.
So naturally I went to access the internal memory via USB.
But the Phone is not showing up as a drive.
So I am quite literally stuck.
Many Thanks to all who reply!

Are you sure that you have formatted the internal sd card?
Why?
Wipe data (factory reset) would have been enough IMO.
So you might have to flash a whole ROM again to your phone by using PC version of Odin.
Maybe use a stock ROM which usually come as Odin-flashable tar/md5 files.
Here you can find pre-rooted stock ROMs => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1608071
After flashing this, your phone should boot again and is already rooted.
Then you can flash PhilZ-cwm6 kernel from here => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877270.
Use the zip file and flash it like described in stock recovery.
Then you have CWM recovery.
Now you can wipe data and flash your custom ROM.
Good luck !

Thanks!
I tried to change recovery myself but that didn't help at all.
I eventually managed to solved it by sifting through my stash of micro sd cards and eventually one of them worked.
Thanks a lot for your long response!
