Hi There, Ive looked through the forums and searched the web and cant find an answer or a solution any where so i was really hoping for some help. I have just installed Jellybam 4.2.1 to my I9300 following this guide on mobotechie {I cant post the link yet}
The install went fine but when I rebooted in Clockwork mod for the first time I am stuck at the jellybam bootlogo screen (past the samsung screen and onto the screen that has jellybam written at the bottom with the android rocket flying through space). Its been flying through space for about 20 minutes now and im really stuck for what to do.
I installed from the standard 4.1.2 jellybean with a flash from a zip file on sd card on clockwork mod. I know the first boot should take a bit longer but from what I have read, it should only take 5 minutes or so. I really hope someone can help me.
You need to wipe data before flashing a new ROM

I have done that which has sorted that problem out, thanks. but now I have another problem. It says that my sd card is damaged. So I took it out and put it in my PC, re-formatted s exfat and then ran chkdsk to check and repair errors. I have put it back in the phone and it still says "sd card is damaged, try reformatting". when I try this it just stays on the box that reads "unmounting sd card" and then nothiung happens. I really dont know what to try next.
Your sdcard needs to be formatted as fat32

You might have damaged the internal memory card. There is a way to test it (can't remember off the top of my head but search). Do the test and see what it says. Hopefully it's just a bad write that can be fixed.
Sent from my Dell Streak XDA premium app - please excuse my miswyping
yes, thank you for showing me that test. I can confirm that the Internal SD has failed.
What are the next steps to be taken? Can this be fixed. In the meantime I will search for it also.
well i found out that the internal memory is acctually just another sd card. And it can be replaced by taking the phone apart.
I would say if you still have a warranty call dell for a replacement. If not try to formatt the internal sd card before replacing it.

im trying to figure out how to format it. Will it be ext3, and I dont want to have to install linux to do that
Can it be done in windows?
well i fixed it by popping in a new internal sd card. 2GB and i didnt format it or anything. once i put it in i chose factory reset, thinking that might format it properly. Then I flashed it with QDL tool. All went well
Great glad to hear that

can anyone show me how to do the internal Sd card test, plz?
thank you in advance.
So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

Hey guys i think i got hands on some developer phone or something! there is a "not for sale" logo on the side of the note and also there is no att logo or samsung logo neat the earpiece and there is a huge problem! the phone does not accept SD card neither does it detect internal memory in it, this is the att version of the phone i can confirm it by the boot logo and the model number, so because of no storage of any sort im unable to use camera of the phone also! There is always one notification telling that the "USB storage is blank or has unsupported file system"
But i can enable USB debugging on the phone and i assume that only the software of the phone is restricting the phone from using the storage so was thinking if there is any way i can flash the phone with some stock firmware using some fastboot commands or something as i cannot even install custom roms because i cant enable storage! Please guys any sort of help will be appreciated also will make donations for the developer who finds a solution
the phone is running an official ics build, please guys help me out here!
here are few pictures

hello i tried to get into download mode! tried inserting the USB 1st and then hold up plus down while inserting the battery but nothing happens but the phone just vibrates at regular intervals(3-4 sec) and continus to vibrate even when there is no battery in it!( that is only when the phone is connected to USB)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1483113
I believe that thread will help you. Also I believe download mode is: with battery in, power off, hold volume down, then hold power till phone boots into download mode, then I believe it's volume up to confirm. sorry it's been awhile since I've needed it.....

thanx in advance
ok rooted what next?
Ok guys i finally succeeded in rooting the phone and a few things make me feel this is a software issue. though still i cant use the internal storage and the sd card
-after installation of busy box in the Busybox window it shows"Free space in /system 327680mb" i mean like if it is 32gb shouldnt it read like 32768mb?
(installation fails though-says "failure!there is either not enough space on your SDcard or your SDcard is not mounted!"
-when i boot into recovery i cant mount or format the emmc. I get the error"Error mounting / emmc!"
-amazingly i can in recovery i can install and browse the SD card (thats how i flashed the Saurom Rom)
Hence i think emmc not mounted is preventing the use of both the onboard storage and the SD card. If only i could get a way to format the emmc i think the problems would be solved. Is the size of the emmc corrupted result in these issues?Is it possible to disable the emmc? or is there a way to format the emmc using Odin?(since CWM fails to do so)
any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanx in advance.
guys anyone out there?

Hey Guys,
Can anyone please help me?
I had a search but cant really find any direct answers,
I had an S2 before, never had any problems, rooting it flashing ROM etc etc,
Just got an S3,
When i first flashed a CWM on it, i think it was version 6.0?
I had no SD card in at the time, after flashing it went to a CWM recovery screen and had a count down from 20 seconds saying "Trying to mount SD Card"...of course there was none inside it at the time , so the timer went to 0 and then reboot the phone and it was back to the launcher, I inserted an SD card, downloaded a ROM,
I then , reboot to recovery, now when i try to use my SD card to install the file it says "Cant mount SD Card",
Tried to go to advanced and mount, still no luck?
I tried to flash 6.1.4 touch recovery, same thing,
i went back to 5.5 same thing,
SD card works fine when i am in windows, or when the phone is on and file explorer,
I just flashed a Stock ROM through Odin and tried again, still no luck,
Someone,
Please help
Thanks

Use the Sammy rom, go to settings/storage and format the sdcard using the phone. Then it should mount using CWM.
Never format/repartition your sdcard using your computer again, shrink it if you want extra space for something else (I shrank it for creating a "Linux swap" to use yank555 swap mod so telling you just in case.).

Your awesome =P
I just returned my phone to stock using ODIN and Entropy's method. I was previously running SHOStock3v.1.3.5 and was having problems creating a viable backup via CWM; not sure why, I've backed up many times before. What changed recently is that I set the default backup format to "TAR" from "DUP" as mentioned here. After that, my backups went from around 17MB to 1.6GB. At some point, possibly even with that first backup, the process would hang while generating the .md5. I left it for about 1.5 hours one time and still it wouldn't finish; I got around this by holding the power button to reboot. I reset the default format back to "DUP" and my backup size went back to about 17MB, but still wouldn't finish generating the .md5. All of these backups seemed to be causing System Media Storage some severe heartburn, filling up the internal memory. Deleting the backups solved this issue, but I was left with a phone that I could not backup.
Finally, this morning I (regrettably) used ROM Manager to try backing up, not having seen the numerous posts about never using ROM Manager. So my phone became a brick, stuck in a bootloop at the Samsung logo. So now I'm at the point where I've returned the phone to stock w/root as mentioned above. I've also reflashed recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.3-galaxys2att.tar via ODIN. BUT, when I try to flash a new ROM I get an error message saying "E:Can't mount /emmc/".
I've looked at some similar threads like this one and this one, but they don't seem to contain the answers I need. I am about to attempt to wipe the sdcard using the dialer code *2767*3855# found in this post. Before I do that I want to verify that there isn't something less drastic that I could try first. Anybody know what's going on?
Eh sounds like you may have gotten the emmc brick.

Yuck. I did some research on that and it sounds mostly like what I've got (I have the ICS kernel - version 2.6.35.7). The difference between my situation and the one in a post I found is that my phone boots and acts normal, for the most part. I ran GotBrickbug? v1.2 and it verified that my eMMC chip is known to have the bug. I found a discussion thread for the Epic 4G on the subject which points to this fix, but it seems to be for those whose phones are really bricked... mine is not, do you have any suggestions on what I might try?
Well, the problem that caused it was in Samsung kernel source for ICS. Flash a custom kernel known not to have it and see what you get afterwards. Also, DO NOT do any memory wipes while on the stock kernel because then you will for sure get the bug, that's what causes it.

I resolved my issue, though it wasn't what I thought out was. For some reason when I selected "Choose zip from internal sdcard", CWM was trying to access the external sdcard, which I had pulled. The opposite was true as well. If my external card was in its slot I would have realized the switch around right away. My phone its back in business, I now have SHOstock3 installed and it's running just fine. Thanks for the help, really glad my emmc wasn't mangled!

So if want to solve this problem, you must have one external SD card which conten Zip file. Right?

Not necessarily. You can put the zip file on the internal card, then you have to choose external card from within CWM. You may have to have an external card installed for that option to show up though. Or, if you put the zip on the external card, then you choose internal in CWM.
