hey guys
the title of the thread sums it pretty much up.
i had cm9 on my i9300. but i was having trouble with it. when i call somebody i could hear them, but they could not hear me.
so i decided to switch to ARHD.
i followed the guide.
accidently i put super wipe and the rom in the internal sd card.
after that i did the super wipe. then, logically there was no rom in the internal section anymore.
now i cant boot. i tried to put the rom into my external sdcard but it says "E: cant mount /sdcard/
do you have any tips what i should to now?
i have no backups

Read installation instruction bro,Mike 1986 CLEARLY said to put the Rom obligatory in ExtSDCARD because Superwipe script Wipe everything including internalSDCard.

Good for you mate, but next time read carfully what the developer said about installation of his OWN Rom.ok We all learn from mistakes and ur not the first or the last person to do so.
i agree to nhariamine formating the ext. SD card before using it is the first step so your phone will recognize your ext SD card.
Good mate. Did you manage to install arhd now?

furthermore it freezes sometimes. i cant explain why this happens.
i will go back to CM9 probably and try to flash a different modem to fix the voiceproblems.

Is a partitioned SD a giveaway that I've rooted?? I flashed, what seems to be, stock 2.2.1 Froyo, though my SD is still partitioned and there is some system folder on it I think. Is there another way to detect if my device has been rooted and flashed??
You could have partitioned the card through a card reader using a computer as well, so it doesn't point to being rooted. Although having an sd partition on stock rom when it's of no use is kind of suspicious.
there are many ways to knw that u've rooted beside sd card.. u dnt need to give ur sd card to the service center ppl..

Well, 2.2.1 has been flashed, so it looks the same as it did when I received it, I'm not root anymore so the superuser tab has been removed and I don't have any root apps on. Pretty much stock like day 1 except 2.2.1 instead of 2.2.0. What other means could there be??
u must be using custom recovery ??

Then remove the recovery. Go to the flashable recoveries zip files thread in the development section by ciaox. I can't post links right now because I'm on the phone. I think ciaox has the link in his signature. Anyway, go to this thread and download 'original_recovery_thunderg.zip ' ( or something to that effect). Boot into recovery and flash this zip, and your recovery will be removed.

OMG. People, flashing recovery and/or rooting your device will not partition your SD card, at all. So, I really fail to see why he should flash stock recovery or whatever.
Eh! He did partition his sd card via custom recovery... wht part u didnt get?

He apparently does not know what he did at all. Anyway, flashing stock recovery or unrooting will certainly not remove any partitions from SD card by magic so those advices are just completely wrong, plus it is not really what was asked in the first place.

You do not detect a rooted phone by looking whether the SD card is partitioned or not.

Does not go anywhere.
@OP: Can you kindly explain what is your problem? Because it is damn hard to understand what are you trying to do.
If you do not want the SD card partitions any more, then simply delete them (in PC or whatever). Frankly, it is not even clear whether you have more than one partition on your card from your fuzzy description.
Let me re-phrase my Q.. I do know what I was doing. I flashed Void, my Nandroid backups didn't work when I wanted to restore cuz I didn't like Void, I lost network cuz my phone was stuck in flight mode, I flashed a 2.2.1 stock .DZ from my PC. Since my phone was stuck in flight mode (useless), I took the phone to myservice provider and they ordered me a new one.
What are the chances of them detecting that I had rooted and flashed Void before??

Hmmm, wondering why did not you ask this normal question in the first place. Chances are none after you flashed a stock ROM via KDZ, wipes everything on the phone.
(Do not understand why did you return the phone without wiping/removing the SD card, honestly... kinda sensitive data there regardless whether it is rooted or not.)
Does flashing a rom vain kdz remove custom recovery also?

Hi guys,
i have flashed a few miui v4 roms and i think they have messed up my external sd card settings or something along the line.
now i'm back on a gb rom, i see the sd card when the phone is up and running but if i try to flash from cwm 4.0.1.5 it doesn't see mmy external card ?
do you guys have any idea how to sort this out ? i want to say that this sd card has always worked fine on this device, it's just now that cwm doesn't see it.
thanks
Format the card & see if the phone recognises it. If not, faulty card given you're running stock & the card should be visible to the phone/working fine if the card is good/not faulty.

What version CWM recovery are you on?
I meant, if you go to the Mounts and Storage menu, does it have an option for mounting or unmounting /sdcard? If so, does it say mount, or unmount? If it says mount, then you have to mount it in order to use it.
4.0.1.5 and yes there is mount, i mount it, go back to choose zip from sd card.....and there's no internal card detected....if i boot in the system i can see it with file explorer or the likes...it's just cwm not seeing it

Hmm. I've not used 4.x.x.x in quite some time.
I'm using 5.0.2.7. For me, anything that refers to "sdcard" is the external card. "internal sdcard" is the built in flash memory. And as it turns out, I didn't even have to mount /sdcard to use either.
Sorry man...
How did you get 4.0.1.5 installed? Maybe it's time to upgrade.

4. mounts and storage > wipe system
flash the rom again

So you use recovery 5.8.4.5 (which have a bug with backup of data partition)
As far as I know 5.8.4.3 does not support flashing zip file from external sdcard...

If No, then maybe it is included in the rom you flash last time...

So, I flashed this ROM with safestrap and now I cannot mount my SD card when in CM10, although it's functional when I go back to the non safe system. I already tried to partition it, and when I do it, says "done" but nothing happends, I installed Link2SD, but it doesn't find the SD card, so it's useless.
Does anyone know what I can do?

Hi,
after trying a few ROMs, I noticed that in the process of upgrading or restoring to a backup all my GS3 files had been cloned to a folder named "0" on the internal storage.
I decided i want to format it.
How can I do it?
Is it safe to format it (right click on windows > format)?
Will a hard reset do the trick?
Thanks in advance, Alon.
btw, I searched for an answer and all the solutions I could find were inconclusive.
I'm currently using WanamLite rom if it's relevant.

Format via CWM recovery .

Hi,
Thanks!
I could not find it on the portal, but i'm guessing it's the "format /sdcard" option.
After formating, will I have to flash a rom via Odin3?
If so, does it have to be the stock version, or will I have the option of rooting and then flashing a rom the normal way?
sorry for the questions,
if there is a manual i'll be happy to get a link, since I couldn't find one.
thank you again!
