Can't flash "any" Rom...and SD problems... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys...
at first plz be patient with my english skills...i know they are terrible!
I come from Customworx Psycho MIUI with IntSD2ExtSD...I've got a Sandisk 64GB Ultra SDXC...it worked fine with this Rom before...
Now I want to update to a MIUI v5 Rom and just tried to flash MIUI Germany v5 and become this:
http://s7.directupload.net/file/d/3232/t3l4e9lt_jpg.htm
tried another MIUI v5 Custom Rom...the same!
And yes, i removed the int2ext script before. I flashed from Internal!
Finally I got polimorph's MIUI Rom work...but now the SD Card is always displayed as broken! Its fresh formated to extFat and works fine at my Computer...i put it in my S3...boot...shown as broken :-/ ...but it just back in the PC...shows format requiered!
Can anybody help me?! I cant get my SD card work and/or swith to another Rom

Hey man, from what i have experienced clockwork mod can't read extfat format. try re-formatting to fat32 and give it a shot. Clockwork Mod gives me a similar error if i use a extfat formatted cards.
Cheers, Bentree.

Its a 64GB Card...Windows 7 let me fomat to NTFS and exFat only!
The error in clockwork appears without using any SD Card...while flashing from Internal!
update:
after formating with gparted to fat32 my SD works again!!!! THANKS FOR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BUT I STILL GOT THE ERROR WHEN FLASH INTO ANOTHER ROM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry i thought you were loading from external card. Ok the error for the pic you posted does suggest that the zip file is corrupted. do you know what the md5 checksum should be? Can you check it and make sure the file is good. If not re-download and try again. I have had quite a few roms fail a md5 checksum test.
Can you post me the link you downloaded the rom from?
Cheers, Bentree.

i reflashed the hole system via Odin...the only thing that works...

[Q] Screwed up sd and more

I just created a ext3 partition for my sd and it got screwed the phone couldnt recognise it said it has corrupted. ended up formatting it through phone now my firmwares screwed cant mount sd, keeps rebooting and not able to use the notification bar (TRIPMIUI mod by cf) now im reflashing my FW throuugh SEUS. Lost all my contacts and messages. Can somebody tell me where did i go wrong to cause this landslide of BULL?
- formatting sd should go first Fat32 then the remaining space go to ext2/ext3..
- both should be formatted in primary. The phone need to read the fat32, those ext2/ext3 are for the system link which only work after the phone boot up normally.
- Full backup is always a good way to prevent any unwanted landslide of fire...
I have the same issue. Partitioned my SD card and my phone could not find it after. I also tried to resize my fat32 partition with data on it along with a ext3 partition to see if it would find my sd card but had no luck making it work.

If you want to start over, reformat your SD card with this:
http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter_3/
For some reason, some of the custom roms do not recognize the SD card after you've created partitions. Reformat and try again.
Even when I reformat my sd card the phone does not detect it. I believe that its because of my ext3 partition. seems like the phone reads the 2nd partition (ext3) as the main partition of the sd card.
Where does the android system determine which partition is the main one?
There must be some type of script that tells the system what partition to look for. Am I right?
If there is then maybe we could mod the script so it, always reads from a certain position first.
Anybody know anything about something like this?

Big Sd Card Problem [please help]

Hi All
I recently had to restore my Xperia x10i to stock firmware with flash tool. All that is fine and the phone it working once again
But now the phone says "Sd Card Blank or has an Unsupported Filesystem" and even my laptop says it must be reformated,
If i procede to format (with any formatting tool) The computer brings back an error and i cannot complete the proccess.
The strangest thing about it though is the fact that laptop says the card has 1.3TB of storage, which is vastly incorrect as it is only a 2GB card.
If anybody can help with my problem it would be much appreciated
thanks
You're sd card is corrupted. better buy a new one buddy..
I would've thought there would be some way to fix this :/
thanks anyways
Edit: If i do chkdsk with command prompt, the laptop comes back with, the type of file system is RAW
have you tried formatting it on your phone?
hey mate, have u try to repair it using ur pc?
at ur pc, open my computer
right click the sdcard drive
click properties, select the tools tab
then click on error-checking
it should help..
try tis b4 formating ur sdcard
Thanks, i'll try that when I get home. The fail that is Windows XP wouldnt let me do anything!

if u had previous 2.1 rom with partition sdcard and switch to 2.2 rom, for sure u will have notification blank sdcard because 2.2 have native app2sd which does not required 2nd partition

CM6 ROMs cannot access my SD

Hi,
I have a very strange problem, I have tried 3 CM6 ROMs but none of these can access my SD but when I reflash 2.1 ROM it is working fine.
Please note that I formatted the card through PC (FAT 32) and xRecovery but still same issue. Most strange thing is that the same card is accessible by 2.1 ROMs, means that it is not corrupted. I tried factory reset removing the SD but no help and when I try another SD it worked, so my conclusion is that there is something wrong with my SD with CM6 ROMs only.
Please help!!!!
I am using Sandisc 16 GB SD.
I am on 2.1.54 baseband and stock kernel and tried 3 CM6 ROMs so far.
Thanks
did u have partition on your sdcard? if got, that means that u had to remove the partition on the sdcard.
make a full backup of ur sdcard to ur pc and then format it using the x10

No OS on my Nexus S

Greetings
Please I need your guidance and help...
I Have a rooted Google Nexus S phone.
I formatted it and removed every operating system file I had... Now all I have is clockwerk mod menu .. I can't install any Android OS or anything ...
I want to get back to stock OS but rooted..
What shall I do ?
Please advise
Plus if anyone could add .. How to install Arabic fonts with stock OS
Thanks in advance
What do you mean by: "I can't install any Android OS or anything"? Have you even tried?
why did you format and remove everything if you weren't prepared for the next step (flashing a new rom)?
From the clockwork recovery menu you will be able to mount your SD card via usb on your computer. You can then transfer over a flashable zip containing a custom rom for your device and flash it to the phone.
Or you can research the procedure for restoring your phone to stock.
Find a ROM, either custom or stock rooted rom and flash.
maybe i wasnt clear ...
I downloaded a custom rom and i removed ev.thing else (Other custom OS) from my usb storage then I tried to flash it but it didnt work ...
I'm now stuck .. My PC isn't recognizing my Nexus S Storage well .. It's just an icon and when I try to open it i get "Please insert a disk then try again"..
I just want to mount the usb storage and add any ROM
Please can anyone tell me how to let my PC read the USB Storage so I can push the ROM in it and flash it ?!!
Please Advise
You're sure you're mounting the SD card from the Recovery menu... like the previous user said? Perhaps try another SD card...

I have a nexus s and the storage is built in ..
I need to mount the storage to my PC, so I can copy custom ROM and flash it on clockwerk mod...
I can't open the storage from my PC. And I'm mounting the SD from clockwerk mod.. But it's not working
OK ..
Now I have another issue guys.
I downloaded CM7 ROM and copied it to my Phone..
Now in clockwerkmod I'm getting this error :
Assert failed
//some lines
(status 7)
Can you help me bypass it ?
Thanx
Just try reloading stock firmware, It's probably a safer bet for the time being. you can always re-root afterward.
Try to use a PC with an SD reader, use an SD to micro SD converter, download CM or any other ROM, start your Nexus S in recovery and flash the ROM.
---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:48 PM ----------
Try this...
1. Find a PC with SD Card reader
2. Get an SD to Micro SD converter (little card looks like SD card with a micro SD slot)
3. Download a ROM (safest bet is stock ROM from Google)
4. Mount SD card through card reader (with SD to micro SD converter)
5. Copy downloaded rom on root of mounted SD card
6. Put micro SD card back into your Nexus S
7. Start Nexus S in recovery (think it's hold volume down and press power key)
8. Use recovery to install the ROM you just downloaded to your SD.
If you don't have access to the Recovery menu I would not know how to solve this problem. But post here I am sure someone will know how to solve this.

Apparently the Nexus S doesn't have external memory... just 16GB of NAND. I didn't know this... what a pain.

You should post your problems with your device here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=880
You might have better luck with a solution.

I copied a lot of ROMs and custom ROMs into my storage. But I wasn't able to install most of them instead of 1 ROM "Stock ROM modified by MoDaCo 2.3.3"
I'm always getting error 7 on CWM..
Did you select "install zip from SD"? You are not supposed to select "apply update.zip". That usually causes that error.

Clockwork Recovery Error, Please help.

Hi I had to post in here as I can't post in the development forums.
Anyway I'm using a checkrom revo (darknight) and when I install something from kitchen pro when it reboots into cwm I get a message along the lines of
CWM-based recovery v5.0.2.7
Waiting for sd card to mount (20s)
Sd card mounted...
verifying sd card marker...
Sd card marker not found...
Checking internal sd card marker...
I've noticed it does this when using cwm 5.0.2.7 but not earlier versions.
Is there something wrong with my phone, is it cwm?
The package installs but I get the error beforehand
Thanks
I now have this issue.
Wondering if you were ever able to fix this? and if so how. Thanks

darn, you bumped a very old thread xD
anyway, did you try flashing another Kernel? you can find the kernels here
i hope this helps! cheers
Better than starting a new thread?
Here it is what I have done so far using Siyah Kernal:
For some reason when I try to do a backup from CWM (onto the external sd card) I get the error "sd card marker not found" it then goes to the internal sd card and makes a backup file there but it does not work when I try to restore from that file.
If I go into recovery mode and do a back up to external card from there it indicates on the screen that it is saving it to the external sd card but it actually saves it to the internal sd card??
I have reflashed the kernal several times (4.1.5) reflashed 4.1.1, even tried a different kernal but no luck. Tried the kernal cleaning script and then reflashed the kernal no luck. Reformatted the sd card, no luck. Installed original rom via odin, then rooted then reflashed rom still no luck.
Thanks for noticing. :highfive:
