Fixed! used my old phone and got a rom on the sdcard everything worked out just fine, sometimes you got the solution right up your face but still cant see them. sorry bothering all of you

Try flashing a stock ROM with Odin [assuming you can get into download mode?].

Can you get into recovery or download mode? How did you format everything, super wipe?

Yes, i can get in to download mode, but i cant find I9300XXDLIH_I9300VDSDLI1_VDS.zip that is faster than a year to download -.- tried hotfile and the download stoped becouse it got to slow. any one got a mirror?

Get into recovery mode.. Push your rom using adb to your sdcard.. And flash
Command
adb push <your rom location> /external_sd/
It will push the rom to the root of your external sdcard

well i dont have anything on phone or ext sdcard and cant mount them in computer so that kind of sucks, so ill probably have to wait untill next year to be able to fix this...

Simple take your memory card out and mount it to your card reader.
And copy the Rom to your memory card

[Q] Mount Storage from CWM

Well the title pretty much says it all
I ****ed up pretty bad and i have no Roms on my SD Card
Is there any way I can mount the storage from CWM so I can copy a rom into it and flash it?
I've tried Mount USB Storage from the Mounts N Storage Menu but that doesn't seem to be doing anything
It has to work if you did that but theres always a second choice you can select the option DOWNLOAD MODE and odin and once you finish odin you can xopy the rom you want on your sd card and flash it via cwo recovery..

Yea.. It's weird
The drives show up on my computer but I can't actually access any files
I guess I just didn't want it to come to that but oh well, downloading the TAR file now
Thanks for your advice
Edit: Guess Someone Should Close This

Any ideas ?

Looking for a rom I can install via Odin . Needs to be a tar file but I cant seem to find one at the moment......any pointers very welcome.
Thanks

You don't have custom recovery working to flash .zip?
Can flash stock firmware found on Intratech thread. Will lose root, but can flash CF-root kernel from Chainfire thread to get root again...... All with Odin.

...quite new to all this. I have installed a rom on the sd disk but when I go to install zip from sd card can't see it !!
If its ok could you explain your method ....as Im a bit of a thicko !!
thanks
sr
Depending on what version of cwm 4 or 5 you have will make a slight difference but essentially these process.
Place the Rom zip on your internal sdcard not the removable external sdcard.
Navigate to flash .zip from internal sdcard in recovery. If you are changing versions if android or. 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or flashing between different Roms, maybe best to factory reset, wipe.cache, and wipe dalvik (in advanced) from within recovery. Immediately flash ROM, and then reboot, give it a few minutes. You will lose your data etc, but will help to ensure you don't get boot loops or force closes etc

...for the prompt reply, problem is I can only get rom onto the external sd card. Can't see a way of getting it onto the internal one !
Guess this looks like my evenings planned with the wife moaning at me!
sr
Boot up. Connect USB to PC and transfer the file.... If your still not sure if your putting it in the correct "sdcard", power off and remove extrenal sdcard.
You could also connect cable to PC in recovery, then "mount USB storage",. Transfer file to USB storage, "unmount", then flash from internal sdcard (look for the USB storage within).USB storage is just a sub directory of the internal sdcard.

Oh yeah, about the moaning. Know the feeling full well......... (good or bad
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Me again..
I have the phone working but the PC will not recognise and storage on the phone which means I can't update etc. Do you have any ideas of what is needed to fix this. At the moment the only thing that I can use is Odin. I did have another rom on the sd card but cant open it.
Sorry about this !!
Steve
Have you installed Samsung Kies? You need the diverts from that installed to PC. Just remember that you need to close kies before using Odin.
Edit :You have selected connect from the phone (maybe have notification on phone status bar?)
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Phew....
Managed to open another rom zip and installed, things back to normal (and before the wife gets home) !
One last question .....I install roms on the internal sd as I can never see them when installed on the external sd, guess I am missing something simple ?
Thanks for your help this afternoon

[Q] Android Revolition HD - i ****ed it up

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

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?

[Q] Help!

Hi...My xperia doesnt get detected by PC after flashing this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1846760
What should I do now, pls help...
Does your system.prop have something like these lines.
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
sys.usb.config=mass_storage,adb
Or
persist.sys.usb.config=mass_storage
sys.usb.config=mass_storage
If not try to add those lines in your system.prop file and reboot and try again after. And if those lines are already there then i realy dont know
Maybe some USB related .rc files are not right but you cant edit those without de and recompiling it.
Hope its just the system.prop for you.

Your welcome and sorry it didnt work.
Hope you find a solution for it.
Btw can you connect to the computer and access usb from recovery? Hopefully it does work in that way. Because if it does the recovery.fstab is working/correct.
And only 1 thing I can think of then is maybe the vold.fstab in the /system/etc directory which should have these lines.
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard auto /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.1/mmc_host/mmc0 /devices/platform/goldfish_mmc.0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc0 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.4/mmc_host/mmc1
It's the last thing I can think off.

I appreciate your help.
Can you please tell more about accessing usb from recovery?
P.s I have only CWM working.
There should be something like "mounts and storage" somewhere in the menu and in there should be the "mount USB storage setting/switch for the mount and unmount hope it's the same at your recovery I use cwm but xrecovery should have similar options.

This says:
USB Mass Storage device
Leaving this menu unmount
your SD card from your PC.
-Unmount
Okay so if you press unmount and then mount again that doesnt work?
Can you browse the sdcard content with a file browser apk or gallery on the phone if so i really don't know how to solve it.
And if you can't browse the sdcard from a file browser or the gallery app on your phone the only thing then is that maybe your sdcard got corrupted somehow.
Only way is too check sdcard is by using a sdcard adapter chip. Or a special USB with a slot for it and then insert it in a modern computer or laptop, with the special kinda slot is only for (the adapter.) Then to check if you can browse the content of it.
Or if you have another phone which uses the same sdcard type as the x10i too check if it works on that phone.
If that all not works maybe it needs a formatting but then you lose everything on it.
So beware of it.
(I had this issue one time a while ago when unplugging my phone from the computer and I couldnt browse my sdcard or mount it after. I needed to reformat it within cwm recovery to make it work again but lost everything on it.lucky I've made a backup of the content of my sdcard like maybe 4 days before it happened)
Hope someone else could help you more or solve it before you try to reformatting it, to preserve your contents ofcourse.

Hmmm...I press unmount and nothing happens, there is no mount option. I have other phone and SD card is working good and I can search it with root browser normally.
Thats weird i am sorry really don't know it then.
And did you tryed flashing new/other kernels and different roms.
Or restored a backup of any rom you used before and tryed too see if it works properly on them.
But make a backup first.
I will try that rom when I have my x10 back running with new battery. And see if it works at me. If so maybe the rom and kernel you downloaded got corrupted somehow probably when downloading it.
But i am not sure.

You could
1) download the ROM you wish to install to a PC
2) remove your SD Card from X10
3) put the SD Card on the PC
4) copy the ROM to SD Card and put the SD Card back on the X10
5) reboot in xRecovery and install your new ROM
hope it helps.

Thanks for reply.
I don't have xRecovery, I have CWM rec. Tryed to flash few ROM-s but unsucceful.
Hello I installed and tryed that rom.
I installed the normal rom TUG-SDE and provided kernel semcdebrandengine.ftf
I must say I had few issues aswell with USB first with flashing the kernel, but flashtool said something like install drivers from the drivers folder which is located at flashtools directory.
I used that program to install all drivers I need for the x10i.
And flashed kernel again and the rom with success.
And after that it worked properly also USB to PC connection.

Do you have a working sd card. TWRP will see external as well as internal storage. Place sd card into computer , download rom onto card, place back into your galaxy then boot back into recovery and flash from sd card.
