Is a partitioned SD a giveaway that I've rooted?? I flashed, what seems to be, stock 2.2.1 Froyo, though my SD is still partitioned and there is some system folder on it I think. Is there another way to detect if my device has been rooted and flashed??
You could have partitioned the card through a card reader using a computer as well, so it doesn't point to being rooted. Although having an sd partition on stock rom when it's of no use is kind of suspicious.
there are many ways to knw that u've rooted beside sd card.. u dnt need to give ur sd card to the service center ppl..

Well, 2.2.1 has been flashed, so it looks the same as it did when I received it, I'm not root anymore so the superuser tab has been removed and I don't have any root apps on. Pretty much stock like day 1 except 2.2.1 instead of 2.2.0. What other means could there be??
u must be using custom recovery ??

Yes, and I partitioned 2gb SD to 1.5GB/500MB. I formatted the SD to ext4.

Then remove the recovery. Go to the flashable recoveries zip files thread in the development section by ciaox. I can't post links right now because I'm on the phone. I think ciaox has the link in his signature. Anyway, go to this thread and download 'original_recovery_thunderg.zip ' ( or something to that effect). Boot into recovery and flash this zip, and your recovery will be removed.

OMG. People, flashing recovery and/or rooting your device will not partition your SD card, at all. So, I really fail to see why he should flash stock recovery or whatever.
Eh! He did partition his sd card via custom recovery... wht part u didnt get?

He apparently does not know what he did at all. Anyway, flashing stock recovery or unrooting will certainly not remove any partitions from SD card by magic so those advices are just completely wrong, plus it is not really what was asked in the first place.

You do not detect a rooted phone by looking whether the SD card is partitioned or not.

Yes, partitions have nothing to do with rooting, but he has also asked:

Since he has custom recovery so I advised him to flash original recovery.

Does not go anywhere.
@OP: Can you kindly explain what is your problem? Because it is damn hard to understand what are you trying to do.
If you do not want the SD card partitions any more, then simply delete them (in PC or whatever). Frankly, it is not even clear whether you have more than one partition on your card from your fuzzy description.
Let me re-phrase my Q.. I do know what I was doing. I flashed Void, my Nandroid backups didn't work when I wanted to restore cuz I didn't like Void, I lost network cuz my phone was stuck in flight mode, I flashed a 2.2.1 stock .DZ from my PC. Since my phone was stuck in flight mode (useless), I took the phone to myservice provider and they ordered me a new one.
What are the chances of them detecting that I had rooted and flashed Void before??

Hmmm, wondering why did not you ask this normal question in the first place. Chances are none after you flashed a stock ROM via KDZ, wipes everything on the phone.
(Do not understand why did you return the phone without wiping/removing the SD card, honestly... kinda sensitive data there regardless whether it is rooted or not.)
Does flashing a rom vain kdz remove custom recovery also?

Yay, my first day of flashing roms and already ****ed up...
I whiped everything for flashing a new rom and before flashing i seen the option "partition SD card" me like a retard partitioned it whiping everyithing off the card (lol). now my phone has no ROM. SO what should I do? tried download mode and kies but it won't recognise it (well obviously, phone is empty) so i'm guessing i need to flash it using Odin?
Could anyone point out for me the correct odin version and what else i need, and preferably a gingerbread 2.3.5 or 2.3.4 for european SGA please because i don't want to brick my phone doing something stupid....
and maybe a brief guide
Cheers
I also forgot to point out that obviously i still have the CWM 5.x.x on the phone and my PC doesn't have an SD card reader
if this info helps with anything...
Can u go in recovery mod.
If not then try odin

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.....

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
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?

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.

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
