Did you flash also the .pit file inside the package, right?
Now re-flash the ROM: CSC, CODE & MODEM but ATTENTION! DON'T FLASH THIS .PIT u1_02_20120326_emmc_EXT4_8GB.pit!!!
Instead flash this one: View attachment Recommended_.pit.zip

yes i flashed that pit.. but im now on gingerbread la4 one package file but still the same problem of not writing or copying to/from mmc . i think formatting the system and restarting the phone is causing the problem.??
If you flashed the .pit file in the latest leak then im afraid youre done for, i cant think of any solution because eventually if you keep flashing and wiping youre gonna brick out.
Needs a samsung service to fix this me thinks, why did you flash the pit???, its not aan i9100 official pit, the official is 16gb, NOBODY else flash this pit file please.

is it anyway caused by formatting the system and automatic reboot after putting the battery in or is it because of the wrong pit file.?? and if it is because of pit file can i reflash the lq5 firmware with the default pit..
i managed to get my memory card back to 11gb i flashed an old gingerbread firmware kh3 with pit file ..and back to 11 gb and now i can copy and write without any error.

Good day! This is my first post and don't flame me because i really tried to search
for a solution before posting; either i just didn't look enough or i could'nt understand the solutions.
SO, here's my problem:
I cannot access /sdcard.
I came from CM9 nightly and i know what i did wrong. I mistakenly removed my usb cable when my phone was still in usb mass storage mode. That's the only thing i thought i did wrong.
On ES File explorer i get "SD card empty, unmounted or not present" when accessing /sdcard
So what i did is to return to stock firmware, hard reset, did a factory reset of the internal storage... and thought all is good. IT AIN'T.
What the factory reset did was make a folder /emmc and put the internal storage data there.
I can assume that the /sdcard folder may be corrupted and inaccessible.
I found/thought of some solutions:
1.) Rerouting /emmc as /sdcard like in this thread
Swap the mounting points on ICS (CM9) for emmc and sdcard
2.) Reflashing stock firmware again with PIT file (I haven't done this before, is it that scary? ) Can someone explain what the difference of flashing with or without PIT? And also how can i flash a pit file when the firmware i downloaded has only 1 file (what firmware should i download then?)? Also, should i backup /efs before flashing PIT?
How do I know I am using a correct PIT file?
Any ideas what i should do?
format the sd card cheerz

And that's why phones get bricked you would need to read and learn before flashing stuff .
Do not use PIT file is the recommendation for SGS2 as their is far higher chance of hard bricking a phone .
EFS should be backed up on day one .

Guys just one small question..
I think i have messed up my phone a bit..so i wanna go back to stock firmware..I dont wanna delete my internal storage..so basically am not gonna do a factory reset( coz i have heard it deletes the internal sd as well)
So i am basically gonna reboot into CWM recovery..do a full wipe etc..
now the question is what should i do? i have the zip file from sammobile for my stock firmware..
Now can i flash that stock firmware directly through CWM? or the firmware downloaded from samsung mobile can only be flashed via odin? If yes, then what other options do i have coz i dont wanna use odin to flash...
thanks
Depending on the version that you download, it could be wipe/non wipe version. Also, by checking the content inside the zip file, if it is a .tar or .tar.md5, you can only use odin to flash those files. If the content are META-INF + system folder, probably contain boot.img, it can be flash from CWM recovery.
Wipe data/factoy reset don't format your internal sd partition, so you won't lost your files. However .android-secure in external sd will be deleted, so take note on this
im asking about the internal factory reset of the phone..settings->backup->factory reset..It does delete your internal sd card data too, right?
and yeh i would love to get the cwm version of my stock rom I9100XWLP7..any idea where i can get it? Still downloading the firmware from sammobile..but i think it will be the odin one only..
thanks
Stock ROMS to flash via recovery

Hi I've factory reset and flashed via odin numerous times. I still have my photos music on my sd card. Usually safe when flashing via pda in odin in terms of wiping. Data is wiped when flashing the CSC partition.

Hey there, before I'm starting to talk about my needs I want to say that I've searched alot, about hours before opening this thread.
I want to make a totally cleaning install for my Galaxy S2(formats and wipes are not wipeing everything so..], I've flashed/installed over 70 Roms and over hunder kernels, the phone is fine,
but I wanna clean it, all the trash/garbage - After a long search I concluded that you cannot totaly clean your device and make it as new and not matter what you are doing there will be some scripts/files from old roms/kernels etc ****.....
but I got that the best way to make it cleaner is to flash Pit + CSC/PDA/Phone, now to the point of the topic -
I've searched alot but didnt find all those files...I don't care wich firmware it will be wich country wich language etc...I found alot download links...broken links that not working any more -_-
So I've decided to ask you guys if you can give me working links to those files, at list to CSC PDA PHONE files...
thats all, sorry.
Btw sorry for my grammar I know its sucks :\, Thanks in advance
Yes pit will work however there is a high risk of bricking your device by using incorrect pit file so you should avoid using pit file at all costs and for most part its not needed.
To clean your device you could instead just simply format your internal/external cards using cwm recovery. So simply install kernel like Siyah and go to storage menu and format cards. What they're called depends on kernel/recovery version. On some they will be labeled as internal/external on some it will will be sdcard and emmc. You should also format/system (this gets rid of rom/romdata).
Once you have formatted them simply install the rom you want to use either via download or recovery depending on stock/custom.

I know all of the things you have said, but not matter wich formats you gonna do or wipes, there will be olds files, scripts and garbage that you don't need...
I just need links for those files, and I know the risk of flashing a pit but I still wanna do it...
there is nothing to talk about just need those files :/ thanks alot for the fast comment !

You're wrong.
If you format system, internal card and external card there will be no files left. I have done this myself very recently. You could also use a kernel cleaning script aswell if you choose like Biftors.
If you use pit file all your doing is re-creating the same partitions you can just format, ie system and internal card.
If you want to go ahead and re-partition you can get files from here. But dont come crying if you choose wrong version and brick device. Just go and read and follow one of the many brick topics. IMO its just not needed or worth it.

That thread/comments are FOS. Formatting system/data partitions deletes everything on that partition which is where rom/rom files are stored. If you also wipe internal SD then everything is gone as far as files you can access/see goes.
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe caches.
Format/System
Format/emmc (internal sd card).
Check the older GB roms on sammobile, They should have all files like pit etc.

Honestly, All you need to do is
Wipe data/factory reset.
Wipe caches.
Format/System
Format/emmc (internal sd card).
And maybe use kernel clean script. No need to re-partition unless absolutely necessary.

if you want all files then flash JB leak from sammobile it has all you need CSC, PDA, PHONE & PIT... (if at all your preference is NOT ONLY ICS)
Hello all
Can you give me a download to a pit file for odin (my device running stock 4.1.2)?
Does this pit file would fix my phone? (im in kind of a brick)
Thanks
Hi
What have you done before the brick? If it is a MMC Erase Brick because a Wipe Factory Reset in a suceptible kernel, maybe I can help you. But in this case you need to run two tools in CWM Recovery to find out where exactly the internal SD was damaged, and then, use a modified .pit to create the partitions in a whay that the damaged part is 'jumped'
Until there, I uploaded the stock .pit for a 4.1.2 for an internal SD card of 16 gb

I used ODIN to flash my tab and installed TWRP 2.2.0 on it, but the i accidently wiped enerything from the internal storage and lost the flashable_superuser.zip file that is needed to. Now I can't access the sd card or internal storage to put the file back. So what do I do? Through the damn thing in the garbage... i just want a working tablet....:crying:

Did you wipe system as well? Seeing that you wiped internal storage it wouldn't hurt to reflash stock ROM with Odin since there's nothing to lose. You can also use adb to push the file to the sdcard.
