1. ALWAYS backup your ROM before doing anything with even the smallest chance of something going wrong. I hope you learned your lesson, friend!
2. External partitions in SD card to provide more space doesn't give any boost in performance, so I have no idea where you read that from.
3. Did I tell you about always backing up your ROM?
To answer your question:
Since you have no recovery image, then you have no way of restoring, unless you've backed up somewhere. I would recommend to just flash another firmware from ODIN.
next time...if you doesnt wanna lose u r data while partitioning, use ubuntu, and use tool named "gparted"
is there any good recovery programme or software that any of you can advice?
i had a few pictures of my late father in it. which are no where else.

I'm sorry about your father dude.. But I don't think there are any because the data on your phone is 'burnt' and there's no way of getting it back. Just like when you burn something with fire . Really sorry dude.. Wish I could help

I understand... You'll need "Bad Copy Pro". I don't endorse copy right infringement or software piracy, but it can be found on many torrent sites cracked and working perfectly. Until you get a copy and scan the microsd don't write anything to it. Only the path to the file is deleted, but the data often remains until overwritten...

I would not try using software with that important stuff you lost.
Go professional and find a recovery company. It will cost you good money, but chances are very high that it can be recovered that way.
Stop doing anything with that sd card though.
Cheers
Btw, its a windows program.

Problem is that he didnt "just" delete files. He repartioned it. Probably formatted it afterwards.

As long as you didn't rewrite the partition, there's still some chance of recovery.
On Ubuntu (although I think there's also a Windows version, too), download the testdisk and photorec programs. I once used it to recover a 70-page internship report, and it not only found those files, but also files from around 2 years ago (even some files from when the OEM people were customizing it).
It lasts around 12 hours for a complete recovery of a 250GB drive (and the data recovered will be >250GB), so I'd say around half an hour for a 8GB microSD card.
Forgive my maths.
Hope you get your data back
I dont know if this will help but hope you recover your files.

Hi, I've got a problem with my Galaxy S2, I installed a 4.0.4 ROM and when I flashed another ROM it wasn't the same anymore. It bricked part of my internal memory.
According to this topic (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1667886) I installed the ressurection pit and the smartphone get back to life, but it crashes everytime that I try to install a new app at Play Store or when I try to transfer files from computer.
I really need some help here. I used the emmc partition scanner and it showed me that between the 1073 and 2148 block are unusable.
Is it possible to create some pit file that isolates the first 3GB of the internal memory? I think that way I'll resolve all my problems. I'm desperate!!!
P.S.: Sorry about my mistakes, my english is bad
After flashing modified .pit you must manually format system, cache, data and internal sdcard from recovery and flash (still in cwm) firmware you like. But it should be custom or at least modified stock with custom kernel.
If this will not help than use another modified pit file with correct (your emmc fault depending) partition shift.
It is generally method for models with 16GB not 32.

I did everything that you said, but it still crashes. I read the txt files that came with the PITs and no one let unused the exactly bricked area of my internal memory, I think I need a PIT file made exclusively for my phone. Am I right?
Yes, you are right. Ask author of those pits, maybe he will prepare needed one for you.

I did it too, I tried to install the 2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6 and 4.0.3 ROMs, stock and custom, with the original and patched pit, nothing works.
I think I need to isolate the bad block and it will get back to life.
hey guys
i have yesterday in fact got cwm on my sgp 5.0
and i have flashed ics crumble onto it and its working epically but
i can only have 1.88 gb of space on the internal sd card (its a 16gb sd)
can any one give me a hand? with this thanks
and also i cannot connect my sgp to my computer as windows 7 comes up with usb device not recognized
please help a brother out thanks all
P.S i have all the kernal files and roms that i have loaded onto my sgp if needed
I suspect you've got a few full (i.e. from CWM) backups stored on the internal drive. THose suckers take at LEAST 1 gig for each backup point.
Also, you might try deleting the actual rom image files from your device, since they're not needed after flashing.
Finally, try searching the app store for a disk usage analyzer to help you track down the bloat. There are a few decent free ones out there.
Ohk thanks for the hand with this

i had a similar issue..my actual sd card that i could take in and out was labeled as "internal" and viceversa. so to get into my actual cd card i would have to go into the "internalsd" folder instead of the external..so try that, maybe yours got switched. im sure your 16gs is still at least half way empty. i dont remember what i did to reverse this affect but i think it just fixed it on its own i cant remember.

Make sure debugging is unchecked(applications>development>usb debugging)otherwise the computer will not reconize the unit

You flashed ICS Crumble, which is AOKP based. I'm thinking you're suffering from a known code issue that switches the storage locations on your device. So, in a file explorer you'll notice that what was "external" on stock ROM is now registered as "internal", and what was registered as "internal" on stock ROM is now listed as "external" on ICS ROMs.
I attached a patch for it here. It's a patch that you flash in recovery. So, put it in an easily navigable directory.
By the way, not sure if you know, or not, but ICS Crumble is a really old ROM and Reuben is not developing it any more. If you want something more recent, I recommend Supermaster34's CM9 or Remics-UX (Samsung touchwiz look-alike). Also, we have some amazing devs in this forum that are working on a kernel 3.x and Jelly Bean build for our device (5.0). That could hit beta stage in the near future.
thanks higg
thanks man it worked
i would buy you beer right now
anyway so you say theres new roms out?
well im currently running cwm5 and im unsure of how to upgrade it to 9
do i do it the same as the storage swap zip?
if you can get the correct file for my tablet i would owe you even more
and once again thank you soo much you rock!!!
I'm glad that I could help. I gotta give credit where it's due. The patch I attached is something Reuben, the developer of ICS Crumble, added to patch the storage issue. I keep a copy of the patch handy for those who need it.
CWM refers to ClockWorkMod. CWM is just another name for recovery mode where you flashed that patch. CM9 refers to Cyanogenmod 9 which is a modified build of Google's open-source Ice Cream Sandwich code. CM10 refers to Jelly Bean, but our developers are still working on a kernel 3.0 and a stable build for our devices. AOKP, which I mentioned earlier, is similar to CM9 with some subtle differences.
If you search the Galaxy Player's development forum with the phrase "CM9" you should see some current ROMs. Right now, a developer by the name of Supermaster34 has some awesome ICS builds for the SGP 5.0. I highly recommend his work.
As for the storage issue and patch, you'll probably have to flash that patch every time you flash a new ICS ROM. Because, when you flash a ROM, you usually need to format the system and do a data wipe. But, the only way to be 100% sure is check your directories with a file explorer after flashing a new ICS ROM. (Also, always remember to backup your current ROM before flashing a new one!)
Edit:
Here is the link for the ROM I use from Supermaster34's.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957
Just go to the OP (Original Post) of this thread and follow the instructions. If you look in the "extras" section, you'll see the Bluetooth patch there too. You flash the ROM and the Bluetooth patch in recovery mode. If you have a USA model, skip the step for the home button fix. Good luck.
In all of my ICS ROMs I've already swapped the memory locations around so you won't need to flash the swap storage patch. Personally I'd recommend RemICS-UX over my CM9 ROM as its got more features and I usually update it more often, but it does have a Samsung like ui so not everyone like it

As a 4 year long Android Root lover, I got recently really disappointed with such fragility of the Hardware and Softwares as well. I Always defended Samsung/Android over Apple/OS because of the versatility and incredible (Samsung) hardware quality, until what happened...
After many years of Cyanogen Mod tranquility, I decided to experiment other ROM variations and SLIM BEAN was quoted to be a light-weight battery saver (My battery was not lasting one full day on idling).
I Flashed SlimBean 9 (JB 4.2) over CM10 (JB 4.2 as well). Everything went well and I was using the phone without issues, in exeption for a high software instability. So that it happened (I`ll try to make a long story short), during a regular BACKUP (with My Backup Root) the phone unexpectedly rebooted and automatically went to the SEMAPHORE 6.0 CWM boot screen (which I dont remeber to have it installed). After that, the phone went into a boot loop on Galaxy/Vibrant screen and no way to reinstall any other room again (showing failure messages when trying to write or wipe data on ":/data" and "/emmc"directory. After many attempts to flash it back to stock with odin (re-partitioning or not), the phone was always caught in the boot loop.
After more than 1 week reading the many good posts in this forum, I have finally realized what may be the cause of the failure. Maybe my internal /SD Card was ruined BY Slim Bean and my last hope should be a 16GB external SD to try to "revive" it (I was intendind to sell it :crying.
So far, I was able to install ICS ROM (Many thanks to Fernhamm and XSenman for the posts) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
But no way to be able to install any APP (Like the ES Explorer for SD reprogramming), save config data or even receive any messages (fails on saving the message).
The SIM is fine, since I can connect to the internet and make calls.
It shows no info for the internal storage size but recognizes 4gb of external storage (my actual SD card).
according this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
It should be able to, at least, install apps from Google Play, or even using contacts and receiving messages.
It looks like he is recognizing the Ext. SD card but is not using it, at all (its only 4GB, but should be useful).
I will be very thankfull if you guys could give me a hint about how can I solve this issue. I have browsed over the forum but apparently no one is experimenting this specific situation.
OBS: I have noticed that all the threads, in this regard, were concerning the I9000 and none for the Vibrant.
Thanks to all and congratulations for this forum!
Just return to stock with Odin and root again.

I can return to stock but the phone still does not works without the External SDCard. It seems to be the same problem that Xseenman had in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31017954&postcount=5335&nocache=1&z=8739465500693768
However he managed to use the External SD card as the only one (i will have to buy one of 16gb in this case).
But also have seen guys like "ferhanmm" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123 that actually fixed his internal SDCard by using the "OVERSTOCK Kernell" flashing it thru Odin. Unfortunately (due to the forum rules) I was not authorized to reply on his post.
The point is, according the first solution (External SD card swap), I am not being allowed to save the Vol.fstab file after editing it on ES Explorer. It shows up a warning message that "due to an error (not specified) the file will not be saved".
I have been already, for 2 full weeks, trying desperately make this piece of plastic usefull, but have always some bug to fix.
Taking advantage from this post, is there any possibility to repartition or format the (not mountable) Internal SDcard?? Because it was broken by some software, i believe some kernell might put it back to place (Overstock, Eugene`s, Semaphore???).
Thanks to all.
Read my post. I forgot to disable voodoo lag fix and borked the partitions. This fixed it. I'm now back on hellybean
Make sure to let each ROM boot normally before you flash the next. I even went as far as formatting the internal SD card after each ROM booted and settled from within the settings.
Oh in vodoo recovery you can't flash from your ext SD, it doesn't recognize it. Mount in vodoo recovery via menu and put update-cm 7.1.zip on tour internal as well as cm 10.1 nightly or any other ROM you'd like to flash. I don't recommend any ICS ROMs due to EU bug. Flash 7.1 to format to mtd then flash your jb ROM. You'll have to flash GB boot loaders if you get power reset or unknown upload mode bug.

THere's no relation to Lagfix because when I flash it back to Odin, it still does not recognizes the internal SD. All configs should go back to the originals (ain't it?).
Hi,
about a month ago I have hard bricked my SGH-I777 trying to transfer the second version of a modified PIT file edited by me using PitMagic to increase the data application partition. After a month, I finally got back my phone saved using a Riff Jtag. I have mounted the original SGH-I777_ATT_I777UCMD8_I777ATTMD8 released by AT&T, but I really need to increase the data application partition so I would try again and then install the SuperNexus 4.0 Rom. Anyone could give me a tested PIT file for my I777? I'm from Italy and find help for this model is really hard.
Thanks.
Considering that so many i777 users have gotten by succesfully using the stock partition setup, I'm very curious to know why you "really need to increase the data application partition". Are you really beyong 2gb worth of apk's? Is there some other reason?

No, I have got no other reason, considering that I don't use the phone to play with games or stuff like that but just for work. The problem is that although I'm not the kind of person that installs tons of useless apps, a few time ago my phone was unable to download any kind of update or minor app because there wasn't enough storage space available. I can't buy a new phone every month, I have got a 16gb S2 with an external 32gb sd card and i want to use it at the best, and don't be constraind to make a backup every month because Samsung had wrongly thought that 2gb would been sufficient. That's the first reason for wich professionists prefer to buy an I-phone, I prefer to correct a silly evaluation error. I hope you will agree with me and you could help me, I'm not a cheater, I have got only an american phone living in Italy so if I make a mistake I can't take the phone to the customer service. Thank you.

I've never seen any pit file for this phone other than the original UCKH7 pit file that is in the download repository. As far as I am aware, no one has ever needed to repartition the phone to install any firmware version.
I think that there is a misunderstanding. I need to do that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...es/mod-partition-internal-memory-app-t2538947 for my SGH-I777. Nothing more, nothing less, but I haven't found a tested version of the modified pit file for my phone, so about one month ago I have made one by myself, with 4-8Gb it worked, but when i tried with 6-6Gb the phone crashed and had an hard brick.
I've found a guy in Italy that have got a Jtag, and finally he gave me back the repaired phone. Now I'm asking if someone can help me to find a tested pit file for my SGH-I777 with 6-6Gb configuration.
Thanks again

Doesn't exist for this device, or if it does no one has shared it. My suggestion for you is to stick with the custom .pit you made and leave it be.
