Hey Guys!
Prologue
I have a complex problem with my beloved Vibrant. First of all, I got it for Christmas a year ago. It had no issues, with a stock 2.1 (and after a kies update 2.2) firmware, it was fun for a first droid. After digging myself into the world of droids, I decided to root my baby, and put CM on it. It was about a month ago; I saw that there is a stable cm10 for the Vibrant. There were minor problems (could not exit cm recovery and boot the phone normally) with doing it, but at the end, it worked flawlessly.
Problems
Unfortunately, a few days ago, my phone started to have problems like "Trebuchet stopped working" and similar error messages appeared on screen. Yesterday my Vibrant stopped working. The only thing it could do was when I turned on, it showed cm recovery. I chose to reboot the phone, but again, recovery mode came up.
- Now, I use a stock 2.2 (Eugene's) but with this, I cant really use my Vibrant, except for calls and sms.
- Odin cant see my phone.
- I cant revert it to normal stock firmware
- When trying to put a cm10 to it, reboots into recovery it says: cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1
What I did
First of all, a lot of research. Really, a lot, but I suppose not enough, because I cant repair my phone.
- I tried to revert to stock (using AIO Vibrant toolbox). I put Cmenard's kernel (with cm recovery, as described in the official cm wiki howto) onto the phone, since then Odin cant see my phone.
- I have Heimdall, adb shell installed on windows, so tried some lines to revert the Vibrant to normal, no success
- Rooted with superoneclick, so I have root, and su.
Summary
My suspicion is that the internal SD card is corrupted. Anyhow, I tried to use parted, but cannot format my internal SD card. I found solutions that may help, but unfortunately I have no exterior SD card, to make those steps.
Any help would be highly appreciated, as I am starting to lose my mind, and I do not really have a backup phone (will definitely buy in January).
In the top of that, today is my birthday.
Greetings to all,
Dan
Wierd, does ur phone go into download at all? have u tried heimdall on ubuntu?

Yes, download mode is ok, 2 volume buttons pressed, then plug in the usb cable. Before the new kernel was put on, I used the same method and eg was okay with Odin, thats how I put on Eugene's mod as well.
No, (unfortunately) I use windows 7. Or do you mean, I should use ubuntu?

First and foremost, happy belated birthday. It's a shame this had to happen on your birthday... Especially since I have some rather bad news. In your post--which, by the way, was very well written--you mentioned getting the error "cant mount dev/block/mmcblk0p1" while in recovery. This is a pretty bad sign. More than likely, one of two things happened. Either you obtained the Encryption Unsuccessful bug or your internal SD card outright crashed. Either way you're going to need to purchase an external SD card if you wish to continue using your phone. No way around it bud, sorry.
I had the EU bug hit my device a month or two ago, and had to purchase an external SD card as a result. After partitioning the new SD card and tweaking the phone to run off of it, my phone runs great... But switching back to stock/installing a new ROM can be a tricky process...
Good luck. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.
Oh, and this guide should be able to help: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1580902

Yes, I meant use ubuntu, but N00B in N33D i think has the right answer, i overlooked the "can't mount" part of the post. Sorry about all of that happening on your birthday:/

Thank you very much for the answer and the kind words. I will get an SD card then, I will need it later on anyway I guess. I will try this method you linked, and going to post about what happened (but not in the near future, Christmas is coming).
Good news, your phone runs great now after those things, it means I have a little chance at least. :fingers-crossed:
Thanks again, the best wishes for the holiday season!

Hey Guys.
Lately, I bought an sd card (class10, 16GB) and tried to breathe life into my Vibrant. Used this method (except the fact, that I used cm10):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1665123
Actually this worked.
Before that, I figured out, that Odin couldn't see my device because of some driver errors Heimdall caused. (Or Heimdall/zadig installed some other drivers, to be more precise.)
So after reinstalling those drivers from Vibrant AIO Toolbox, I used that method.
But.
The final step, where you edit the vold.stab file, those two lines are swapped for me. Anyhow I tried to edit both ways (as written originally in the post, and tried to swap the lines) but unfortunately after editing, saving the file, and rebooting, the phone just stays at the animated cyanogenmod logo. Nothing happens. Really, I waited an hour or so, still nothing. Tried to reinstall everything, clear cache, dalvik, then phone reboots again normally to cm10, but as mentioned in the post, camera does not work.
Any thoughts would be helpful here.
EDIT:
That post says it should be this after editing:
#internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /mnt/sdcard 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
#external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /mnt/emmc auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
and my file contains this originally:
# internal sdcard
dev_mount emmc /storage/sdcard1 auto /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.2/mmc_host/mmc2
# external sdcard
dev_mount sdcard /storage/sdcard0 1 /devices/platform/s3c-sdhci.0/mmc_host/mmc0
So it would be great to edit these two lines correctly.
Bump. Any help would be appreciated.
This is the last and only problem with my phone, and it doesn't look like it's an unbeatable problem.

Thank you very much! Wow, this worked like a charm! One zillion thanks!
Hopefully this thread will help out many Vibrant users experiencing problems like this one was. Thank you all once again.
Hi guys.
Since then, I have flashed the CyanAOSP 2.9.0 ROM into my beloved vibrant, new kernel (gearkernel universal 1.1.2) and everything works fine, 4.4 is flawless in this device as well,
however
I am now facing some problems again, as the system cannot access the sdcard part, so with rootbrowser I can edit files and anything else, but camera, music player and gallery is not working.
I am thinking of a vold.fstab editing, but as 4.4 has this no more, I am stuck at this point. Any ideas of how and what to edit? Tried build.prop, no success so far. In CWM I can see that the sdcard is not mounted. Mounting it also did not help either.
Edit: I would think, editing the fstab.aries would be the key in this process, but I cannot really tell which part needs to be edited.

Hi all, I need some help with my Folio 100. I have installed V1.3b FolioMod on my tablet and apparently everything works OK, all the applications work fine, Wifi is Ok........ but I've noticed that have stopped responding both SDcard slot as the USB port. I tried by all means go back to the stock mod but no way to do it since it seems not to find the SD.
In addition, reviewing the tablet with the file manager seems to be nothing in the internal storage (or folders or files). I´ve tried to connect with my computer using the mini usb port but I can´t.
Could anyone help me to recover my Folio????
Thanks and sorry for my english but It´s rusty
Try removing the battery for at least 5 minutes or so.
Hi Nemo0815, thanks for your response. I have removed the battery for half an hour and no change has happended.
Cheking the Folio in the device storage settings I have found that the total space in the internal storage is 0.00B and I don´t know where is the storage space.
Regards.
this happened once for me too, i just removed the battery, waited 30secs while holding power button down, so i could drain it for all remaining power..
inserted battery and all was ok, and usb was working again.
looks like he's having the filesystem-not-mounting bug.
Hi Dexter_nlb, I have tried your suggestion and the problem is still there.
I´m thinking if the problem could be in relation with the missing storage capacity.
Thanks.
pasting from first post of foliomod thread:
V0.0+ Generic format internal storage for all mods (so far) here, only needed if you got internal storage problems.
Rename downloaded patch to update.zip and install using recovery.
see if that one helps.
uh.. silly me... you have no way of getting it on there :S
you could try to remount using ADB, but i have no clue on how.. it should be somewhere in the foliomod-thread though.

you can always reach it with adb and a folioMod installed, through recovery..
so if you can install adb (android sdk tools) + the proper driver, you can at least login and see what is wrong..
but if a sdcard slot is not working at all, that can also be your sdcard not supported, many others has the "16GB" problem using NTFS formatted cards.
make sure the sdcard is fat32 formatted, make sure you put a "update.zip" in the root, when recovery should try and find it..
Hi kepler and Dexter. I´m installing SDV but I never used it before. Some help with this tool are welcomed.
Thanks

Hi, I had this problem once and I solved it like this :
1. Extract SD card.
2. Wipe your device, with the blue screen etc
3. Then install FolioMod 1.3d
For me it works, but yes i know all your data will be gone after this...
By the way, thank so much to you Dexter who transform my Folio in a great device. Keep going on !
Same problem
Hi, I have the same proble and symtoms are:
· No sdcard (neither internal nor external). In this state, update fails, because external SD card can't be reached. I've tried FolioMod13d, FolioStock and File system format, but they fail.
· Tablet sometimes starts, but you can't do anything, because neither internal storage is not available, nor external.
· Cannot reach tablet through ADB, because USB link cannot be stablished.
· Have tried extracting battery, pushing on/off button, internal "reset" pin point, putting a piece of paper, tighting screws... no result
· Sometimes, when starting, starts vibrating and keeps all time like that, untill you stop the device.
· And sometimes, tablet even doesn't start, you get only black screen. Other times, you got start screen, but flashing "Android" does not appear.
All things had been tryed on full battery and low battery. Non starting problem appears often when low battery.
Sugestions?
I have to say that your Folio seems to be be very capricious, I never had so much problem with mine.
If you can't switch it on and if it's still cover by warranty try to bring it back to your seller.
Sorry to be unable to help you...
I am starting a new thread here since I did not got any mention of the problem that I am facing right now. Please help.
My device was on stock 2.2.2 ROM until I upgraded it to the 407 ROM sometime back. It was working smoothly till yesterday before I tried to root it. After installing the streakmod, I booted the device in recovery mode to apply the update of superuser.zip. However, though I am able to see superuser icon in my menu still Busy box Installer tells me that the root user rights cann't be acquired.
This was just the tip of the problem.
Now when I restarted my device, the Dell logo is coming up. However after sometime, a message is getting flashed saying that
"File system check returned status 2048. ( I dont remember exactly what file was mentioned but it was pointing to system directory. ) Please send this unit to the software development for debugging. Formatting your device".
After that I again flashed the 407 recovery and the respective package in the device. However, the problem still persists and the same message appears after 2-3 reboots. Even the stock browser is throwing up an exception and Wifi option says Error beneath it.
Before I flashed the stock 2.2.2 ROM, I had the following config for the phone -
Android version - 2.2.2
Baseband version - GAUSB1A134700-US
Kernel version - 2.6.32.9-perf
OEM Version -GAUSB1A134700
Build number - 15274
Please help. I am very much in love with this device and dont want to switch to some other phone.
Sounds like it coukd be your internal sd ard has gone bad, i was also getting the same message and my device formatting so i swapped it for a 2gb sdhc its been fine ever since

Hi andy,
Thanks for the information. But I believe that the internal SD card is not user replacable. Is it?? How much effort it required on your end ?
Yes mate it is replaceable, theres two ways to get T it, 1 is to remove the lcd from the phone second is to cut away the plastic inside the phone battery bay to get at it, i chose to open mine as i didnt wanna start cuttin plastic, it is really easy to do you can replace it with upto a 4gb, anything higher and you have to edit files etc, i put in a 2gb sdhc been fine ever since, plus the phone will automatically format for you,

Cutting the plastic is an easy job and only takes a few minutes. The upside to this method is that it the inner SD card is accessible and it only has to done once. If you have any warranty left you void that. You could even remove it and make a backuo image periodically.
I replaced mine with an 8GB, class 10 card and the phone formatted it for me. There is more info here and here.
The system files are needed if you want to use the space for other than what the system uses it for. More info on using the internal SD for other purposes here and here. In my case I ended up with over 6 GB of system space to install apps. I can keep all of my apps on the inner SD Card.
Aah thanks for that marvin, i didnt realise that, now i know that im gonna upgrade mine

I had lots of problems with mine to i think it`s the 347 base band i read every post and downloaded DSC and it works great read all there post there is a guide to follow you will have 407 running in no time REMEMBER TO READ
One thought here for the OP: why not upgrade to 360 first before trying to upgrade to 407? That might solve your issues. I can't verify whether it would work or not, since I never used the official ROM to upgrade. I upgraded the baseband the hard way and use a custom ROM.
I don't remember how off hand, but isn't there a simple procedure to test your SD card first to see if that is in fact the problem?

It's been posted many times. Info in this link.
My internal was gone bad too and crashed 4 times in 2 months. after functioning very well for the first 2 months. It appeared a read write block error on the internal SD repeating the error 4 times proved the defect.
I replaced mine without real trouble with a 8 Gb SD class 10.
just removed the old one and replaced with the new one.
mind you i tried several cards and not all were installed properly.
Now i have a huge 6 Gb for my apps and no need for App2SD or Link2SD anymore. can swap any external SD without problems for any apps that way. everything is now installed internal including maps of 6 countries for europe.
On youtube you'll find a lot of movies how to dis assemble and reassemble the Dell Streak 5.
Grts
Ted.
Please correct me if I am wrong. All the applications get installed to the internal memory by default. I don't face issues when I keep them that way. When I acutally try to move the apps to SD, sometimes the move does not happens on first attempt. Sometimes it does. I think that's where the problem lies. Is it possible that due to a corrupt external card, the streak is getting checksum error and formatted on restart?
That.s a good guess if you can repeat it afew times it has some bad blocks when software is bad removing and installing wil not solve that. It only took me as many as 4 times to be certen about it.
No genius needed for that.
I had 230+ aps installed and som other data I always wanted to have so internal is my choice. General I used 2.5 Gb .

The dev can set it up so that the app is installed to the SD card. Few apps do this, but not every app defaults to internal storage.

Alright !!
In the mean time my internal SD contains 333 aps now including 7 country map data of europe stored. My external is free for any use. Very cool when mounted by PC and no broken apps.
This streak is so cool now and despite the fact that it is an older device it still can compete very well.
The only disadvantidge is the longer boot and long refreshing the app list in the app drawer after first boot and backup apps.

UPDATE: i have been using he card now for some time but experience some systeem freezes, nog fatal but for a few sec andere up. I am ging to install he Same brand 4Gb card class 10 and that should be more than sufficient for my needs. Internal up to 16 GB is not an option i guess. IT would be even worse i guess.
Hi guys,
I have a very delicated problem with my HTC ONE. Last night I began to unlock my bootloader to install a root. That worked quite well.
So I did everything after the manuals and it worked fine. BUT then I tried to move the trickdroidrom onto the device and it wasnt possible.
Since then I am not able to access my mobiledevice neither from windows nor from mac. Anyhow i managed to install a filemanager and my htc one told me then that "no sd card is mounted"
I really have no clue how to manage with this. I am a beginner yes, but i already used google and the forum search but i only find things that tells to to at least put something on my device to go on...
soo pleeeeease! i need your knowledge to get my phone work again :/
thank you in advance
PS: What I already tried is: mounting all the folders via recovery. but sdcard did not mount and of course external sdcard (probably because there is none
PPS: I tried to download trickdroid via htc one and it says Phone Storage is requiered to download trickdroid:7.5.0.zip

if u done the same idiotic thing than download some htc stock kernel and flash it again afterwards it should work again.
Hello all
First of all let me thank you for this forums, a real goldmine of tips and info
Please excuse my silliness in this post, but it's a byproduct of me writing from a tablet. Pure horror.
The situation where I find myself at the moment is quite usual but with some complications.
Yesterday I decided I was going to install link2sd to finally live a new app addicted life, and I followed this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2126363&nocache=1
And everything went fine until I tried to use link2sd and it didn't see my sd.
I then had a more serious look and I realised my phone doesn't recognise the sd somehow.
Here is the complications: I am on holidays and I don't have my laptop with me.
Normally I would format the sd again, probably I have done something weird, but with no computer and such, what are my options?
I was considering to upgrade to 10 as well, would it be possible with no PC somehow?
Here it is all. The phone is working anyway for now. It's just yo fix it so I can shoot silly pics in beautiful Amsterdam
Thank you all!

Hi guys,
I've been looking for a fair few hours now via search and google.. but I can't seem to find an answer.
In short, I just upgraded my i9305 to the latest SlimKat, and it seems to not register my SD card anymore. When I go to storage, it reads as 0B.
I can unmount and mount, but nothing else.
I've tried inserting another blank sd card and trying to get it formatted, but it does nothing and registers as 0B, after it reboots the OS.
I'm not sure what to do here, so I'm asking for help. I can see and install zips it via recovery (cwm.)
I'm just not sure what to do.

not sure.but it sounds like a bug in the rom .you might want to rollback to the previous version.(assuming it worked fine) if you think it's the card(i.e if the computer reads it as 0b then try sd formatter just remember to enable the change size option

I've rolled back but I noticed that all builds from 3.8 onwards are like this. (I just flashed build 4, which was recently just linked on xda)
It's definitely not the card as I've tried putting a fresh card to get it reformatted...
Not sure where I go from here, and I can't post on the dev thread as I'm under 6 posts... if someone knows why this is happening, as it seems peoel are either ignoring it or it hasn't been bought to their attention, it would be awesome.
Cheers mate.
I just hope I don't get stuck with this version. lol. Maybe it's time to move on from slimkat. (I hope not.)
Just a quick update sort of:
1) I realized that I may have posted this on the wrong forum, as there's a troubleshooting Q&A for the i9035 which is what I have.
Any chance of a mod moving it over there?
2) Also I have now installed vanilla cyanogenmod on the phone and it read the SD card okay, it must be the rom, prolly hasn't ported properly or something... do'h!
