I haven't upgraded from the stock rom yet, but I'm considering it because it seems like I have a firmware problem. I got this phone new off of ebay a few months ago. At least every other day, the phone keeps saying "SD card unexpectedly removed, please insert a new one". It happens when I haven't changed card. I don't even have to touch the phone and I'll see the screen come on and say "sd card unexpectedly removed..." I have googled and I saw others experiencing the same problem. This is one thing that is keeping me from upgrading to a different ROM. I'm worried that if I change roms, maybe the internal problem with manifest during the procedure and brick my phone. Is this a concern that I should have? Or should I proceed with changing ROM's?
My other question is if someone else with this same phone has experienced this problem before, and did the problem go away when the ROM was changed?
Yeah, I just picked up one of these off ebay, and... the pins on the SD card slot are pretty bad, I dunno if that helps exactly but maybe something to check for...
Well I had the same problem.
. I rooted my phone didn't happened again .. but 90% of the time when I rebooted it didn't read any of my apps. Every time .. I got. Rom. Manger .. got clock work recovery and did a backup of my rom .. than I flashed mik cm7 .. never had those problems again ... and didn't. Have the problem were my phone restarted on it's on ...
From My LG Optimus P509 CM7
oh yeah, my phone restarts on it's own too. I forgot to mention, I assumed it could have been a bad connection leading the phone to not read the SD card, then read it, then not read it. It has a cheap looking lock-down mechanism that doesn't look like it would let the phone read the SD card all the time. So I cut a little piece of paper the size of the SD card and stuck it between the lock-down latch door and the card, it didn't fix a thing. So I ruled out a bad connection.
So blackrose, you had the same probs I have now and yours is fixed? I'll look up the mik cm7 rom and install that, are there different versions of the mik cm7 rom? If so, which did you choose?
Check the firmware version on your phone. Older firmwares had that issue, but I believe they were resolved in V10L and newer revisions.
You can go to LG's website and get the download link for the newest f/w version for your phone by putting your IMEI at the end of the address:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=INSERT IMEI HERE
You have to use KDZ updater to flash it.
!! disable LG modem in computer device manager !!
make sure you have msxml installed
set type to 3GQCT
set PhoneMode to DIAG
Select the downloaded firmware file
sit back and WAIT..
Ours the stock rom side I have the same phone from tmobile optimus t and have had the same problem with three of these phones (sold to friends over seas thats why so many) I suggest install custom recovery and rom as soon as possible it makes a huge difference in performance and fixes that pRoblem let me if know if you need help you can even pm me

I run linux on my laptop, I used to have my laptop dual booted when I had my hd2 so I could change out my roms but then I sold my hd2, had no use for windows so I deleted the partition. is there a linux version of the updater i need? or can i install the kdz updater through wine? does kdz updater run solid enough in wine so I don't have to worry about bricking it? I'm going to sell this phone for whatever I can get for it on ebay and I want it functional. I'm picking up another hd2 tomorrow for a great price.

i just tried going to the lg webpage you mentioned and I got a weird error. My IMEI is 012408001118364, and it says IMEI SV is 03. this is the exact link that I typed in my browser, I copied it and posted it here when it didn't work.

my phone has gotten worse in the last couple weeks. has anyone tried to see if it's just a faulty SD card? the problem has to do with the sd card, the phone says it's removed when it wasn't. I have an old 2 gig one somewhere that I'll put in it and see what happens. also my version is V10L
what do I need to put a different rom on my optimus t? and would it be running off of the SD card like I had to do with the HD2 or can it just run off of the internal memory?
my phone works perfectly now. I checked for updates and I have the latest update already installed on it, it's what came on it, V10L. So I deleted some apps off of the phone to clear up space. I grabbed a different 2gig SD card, formatted it with the phone, transferred all of my old stuff from it off of the other card that was in it and put it in the phone. Now I have had it running flawlessly for over a week. I don't know if it was the samsung SD card that was in it that was faulty, or if it was doing that because there were too many apps on it. I know some SD cards are junk, I don't know about samsung, the one I put in it is older but it is a kingston. I didn't have to root it or anything. But I still want to so I can delete some of this crap thats on it from when I got it.
So since this phone is linux based, how do I get to the terminal so I can su root or sudo. And what is the root password? I want to control this thing!
So maybe the problem was that I had too little space left on it, or maybe the problem was that the SD card is junk.
Hello to everyone;
To start with I suppose I must introduce myself:
My name is Manu from México and I am a proud owner of a Samsung Galaxy Ace since three months ago.
During this time I had played with it and its stock ROM with 2.3.4 from carrier Telcel, I rooted it and removed bloatware from the carrier, the result was really nice; even thou after some apps the internal space run out, and therefore the responsiveness of my phone also got cluttered.
About a week ago or so I decided to go beyond and flashed "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" so I tested it for a while and even thou I found many improvements, many bugs were unbearable for the phone use I’m used to; so I switched back to a Stock Rom and flashed "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem.
In addition I did this process to Deodex + root "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118048&highlight=DEODEX” the result in my personal opinion is very good, but I’m back to the beginning. IM RUNNING OUT OF SPACE FOR INTERNAL STORAGE AND THE PHONE STARTS TO ACT LAGGY
I have read about s2e, link2sd and darktremor a2sd; where is require to partition your SD (which I already have also done with CMW at no avail) and I have finally ended up with a program called Install Manager 3.5.1 which promises to do move apps to SD (as far as they are executed locally from an .apk file and not market)
So... after this entire intro, and to avoid any flaming against me: I have read many many posts and have ended up overwhelmed and more confused.
¿Can someone please help me into the best way (in terms of stability and performance) to manage my apps to the SD card with a stock ROM?
(If possible a detailed explanation please, remember I have Stock "S5830SERKPO" with 2.3.5. and my regional modem)
Thanks a lot.
Also let me say I had read this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1172684
But I get lost into "make sure the rom supports it" and therefore not sure if this applies to S5830SERKPO 2.3.5
Well, seems that my post is getting to much attention yet... still, I have an update; today during the course of the day, two times the phone screen turns off and it does not come back until I remove the battery.
The phone continues to work... (the radio still plays, calls continue, etc) just the screen turns off without any means to turn it on.
Hope someone can guide into how to find a better solution for my need.
Probably the easiest way to fix that is to install a ROM from the dev section (make sure it supports A2SD) Cyanogenmod is not official for our Ace, wich means lots of bugs, but other Customs Roms should be ok for you.
Create a ext4 and swap with CWM in your sd card (reboot into recovery, advanced, create sd partitions) Open the A2SD app and turn the swap on, move applications.
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!

Thanks! Yeah I was kind of disappointed, but maybe I can sort it out.
Okay, thanks again, and the best wishes to you as well!
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.
EDIT:Turns out I just needed to try some different ROMs. Everything went fine when I installed SlimBean 4.3, then Carbon ROM 4.4, then gapps. Sorry for the useless thread.
I have been periodically attempting to get a custom ROM onto my device for weeks: In recovery mode I would get error messages about failing to mount the external SD card, backups would all disappear, roms stored on the SD card would get an error message telling me the file was bad even after moving them to USB storage (and Kies won't recognized the device, so I couldn't even upgrade back to 2.3.6 after flashing the stock rom) ... anyway, after replacing and reformatting my external SD today I finally managed to flash CyanogenMod 9. That's the good news.
The bad news is that I'm missing gapps, making the new ROM kind of useless. When I try to flash gapps in recovery mode it gets far enough to show the ASCII art logo (whereas in GB it used to just tell me it couldn't open the file), then immediately quits with an error message along the lines of "build.prop not found". The same thing happens if I try to install CM 11.
Some things I've seen made me think that maybe I should update ClockworkMod using ROM Manager but it asks me to choose my device from a list which doesn't include the Galaxy Player.
I'm currently redownloading gapps in case that file is one of the one's that's been messed up by being put on my old SD card, as well as some other ROMS in case one of them will work (maybe if I try Jelly Bean instead of going straight to KitKat?) I'm not actually attached to installing CM in particular, in fact I'd probably rather try Carbon or Beanstalk, and really at this point I'll take anything that works.
So anyway, help would be really, REALLY appreciated here because I'm really tired of spending my entire afternoon downloading files only to have none of them work.
