Hey hi all, please help me i don't know whathappened to my phone but is it not opening... i rooted it and using, and than my sd card suddenly seemed''damaged'' anyway i was just working on it in recovery menu, and than it occured completely unreadible... anyway i decided to use my internal storage by using recovery menu and load a rom from there , but i could not find how to open my internal memory in recovery menu.So i just entered the section ''mounts and storage'' and i just mount all selections there like ''preinstall,cache,...'' and than my phone turned off, now it is not starting , when i plug in it to the computer, the green light appears and just lightinig there, and if i press the power button '' plug in'' sound comes from the pc but nothing happpens... please help me about this i beg you guys.Thanks
I *think* you just soft-bricked your phone... IDK for sure, but i believe it is a bad idea to try mounting everything... in fact, internal storage and sdcard ar both accessible from the install zip menu option...
Now, if the phone gets recognized by the pc, it means you can flash it via rsd lite.. but READ EVERY THREAD THAT DISCUSS THE TOPIC.... Flashing via rsd is always risky and I nor anyone on this forum will be held responsible for what happens to your phone.
I belive there are several guides here, just search for them
Ok i just solved the problem just by removing the battery and waited about 2 hours and than replace the battery and switched the power button and KABOOM! it worked Thank you dude for your reply! Thread can shut off now!

btw: super noob here
ok so i am getting this error and i dont know why
i rooted my phone and when i tried to upgrade to 2.2 (using odin) i got this:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
(Invalid argument)
E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount SDCARD:
it takes me to recovery mode and just stays there with 5 options (reboot, apply sd card: update.zip, wipe data/fact. reset, wipe cache, format internal sd).
the worst part is that i found out (after research, as thus i could be wrong) that i must have somehow gotten euro firmware because my up key moves down in recovery mode and my power key isnt the "ok" key used to select anything in this damn menu!!!
ive only rooted my phone...and i got the regular update.zip (saved to internal like instructed) like everyone else (i think) + tethering and set cpu (saved zip to my external sd card)
so....i cant exit recovery mode, i cant even select any of those 5 options
i can turn off my phone, but it immediately goes back to the recovery page with the error
please please please help
mom bought me this for my birthday like 3 days ago and the walkthrough seemed easy!
i will pay and bring my phone to you if you can fix it lol
what you should do is boot into download mode and flash the stock rom.. it will unroot u but its better then not havin a fone to root at all right?
if u have troubles booting into download mode try holding down the up and down volume keys while the fones off then plug the usb cord into ur fone it shood bring u to the download mode screen.. but make sure u hold the volume buttons down before u plug it in
thanks....i would really really appreciate it if you told me how exactly to flash a stock file (put it in the odin thingie? PDA, MODEM, or CSC? is this the right file: T959UVJFD.tar? please let me know
There is a walkthrough on this site on how to use odin to flash back to stock. I believe you have the right file there. But you will probably have to flash the pit file as well. I would just to be safe. This will set everything back to stock. Odin can be picky, and make you want to cry. But relax, your still ok. You can get into recovery mode, so you should be able to access download mode. Do a little reading on the site. You should be able to find the links to odin. If you can't, pm me, I will help. I've used odin before, and even though this is scary right now, you need to stay calm. Panicking isn't goin to help. I am new on the site so I can't post links. If you can't find them, contact me, I will e-mail them to you or some thing. Good luck!
Did you get it figured out yet? ODIN should fix you up. Flash the stock build here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739091 just download this, unzip it and load the pit file into the pit field and the larger file in the pda field in odin. Make sure to have this loaded into odin before plugging your phone in or it might not work. To get into download mode just power off your device and hold volume up and down then plug in your usb cable.

If I remember correctly, /dev/block/mmcblk refers to your SD cards. mmcblk0 is the internal (16GB) SD card, and mmcblk1 is whatever extra microSD card you have installed. /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 is the first partition on your internal SD card.
What most likely happened is you messed up your Odin installation, and probably chose to "reformat partitions" when you flashed, wiping your internal card, and thus essentially making your phone unbootable in its current state.
Why you needed Odin to root is beyond me, yet so is why someone would do something that could cause irreparable harm to their device do so without understanding what they were doing. If you are going to ignore the warnings attached to flashing unsupported ROMs (such as flashing an unreleased testing ROM onto a completely different device than it was intended), then you ought to at least understand what it is that you are actually doing.
Also, what does this have to do with development? Aren't there similar posts in the Q&A forum about people who have done the same thing?
that´s SD problem 100% sure. yesterday i had this problem and solved with a newone SD card. (older was 512Mb and not working, newone is 1gb and all was ok)
Were you trying to use Eugene's files? If so you need to follow the directions in his thread.

I got a same problem. As you said I tried start download mode. But the Android system recovery <3e> page still appearing. Firstly battery picture appear and then system recovery. Is there another way to boot into download mode?
There is the three button mode, vol up and down plus power, or if you plan to flash alot of rom's, get a jig. there is adb. also aio tools.
one of these should get you into dl mode to odin.
you are in recovery mode if it says "2E" or "3E" recovery you should be able to get into download mode and then you can flash back into stock.
To get to download mode plug in you usb into the computer first. then, hold the volume keys both down then plug into the phone (while it is showing the recovery mode, in other words it is still on) if it does not work, then pull out then try again a couple of times When you plug it in leave for 2-3 secs. If this does not work or you can't get it Then, just buy a Jig from the xda member connextion2005 (mobilevideotech.com I think). they are 8 bucks and all you do in just plug it in and it will bring up the download mode. From there you can do this
Get the Odin program 1.7 or newer, get the Stock 2.1 Tar file, get the 512pit file
You can find these in the general forum in the thread called Noob guide
then
Open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode. connect it to the computer it will recognize might say com8 or some other number
Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area.
You want to check the 're-partition' box.
Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine!
Then, root the phone and you can flash your new Rom.
You the super oneclick method it is easier to root then download Rom manager and now you can flash any rom you want
Still can't mount internal SD
I've tried the above steps and was able to get out of Recovery Mode, but now I can't get the Internal SD to mount to allow me to put custom ROMs on there...any ideas??

Hey all.
I got a problem. I opened Rom Manager and did the partition SD card thinking it was going to partition my external SD card.......well, I think it did the internal. Now when I boot I get to the GalaxyS screen and then the screen just goes black. Have to remove battery to reboot. I have tried ODIN to restore a factory image but it does the same thing. Anyone have an idea. How can I just format the internal memory to factory and restore to factory. Thanks!!!
There you go
Hey man... You're gonna get flamed for this, it's one of the things "everybody" knows not to do with RomManager, but since I did the same mistake back in time I'll help
First off: can you get into download mode? (turn your phone completly off, plug it into your pc with usb, wait for the "charging" screen, then press both volum keys + the powerbutton to restart, release the powerbutton immediately after restart and keep holding the two volumekeys till you enter download mode)
then flash this.
Then flash back to stock, or any other ROM that includes kernel...
/edit
And please read some instructions this time (couldn't help it, haha)

Thanks bro.
I normally read and research tons before I do anything. Just tried to rush through this one. Lesson learned.
I will read up now
Zero problemo ;P
Thread moved to the Q&A sub-forum. Please post questions in that forum from here on.
Thank you
I hope you were able to fix the problem.
I hope this is in the right section, don't know as I am new to XDA.
But I have a real issue. Here goes.
I recently updated my Xperia S to ICS. And I thought I want to root it.
So I went ahead and started, but when I should have placed a zip file on my internal memory, I extracted the files there instead.
So no, on CWM, when I am supposed to install from .zip file, I can't, since I do not have .zip file there.
I have tried almost all of the options on CWM on the phone, nothing works and I just get back to the start.
So my question is, how do I get out of the loop?
Is there any way I can access my phones files? So I maybe can put the SuperSU .zip file in the directory?
I can boot the phone in fastboot mode, but then it doesn't show on the computer.
Or maybe I can just reverse everything? An easy way, because I am not the best when it comes to this. I have found some solutions, but they ALL require that you put files on your SD card. Only problem is that my phone doesn't have SD card, only internal memory. ANd I can't access that right now.
Please help
Download Flashtools from http://androxyde.github.com/
Download a stock ftf rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1599303
Put the downloaded rom in the flashtool/firmwares/ folder, then go to flashtool/drivers/ folder and run Flashtool-drivers.exe, when that has finished restart your computer.
Turn phone off, now press and hold the volume down button and connect the phone to your computer with the usb cable, when you get a green led you can let go, you are now in flash mode.
Start up flashtool, or flashtool64 if your on an x64 system, click the thunderbolt icon in the top left corner, select flashmode and click ok, in the left hand window select the rom you downloaded and then click ok in the bottom right corner.

Is your Bootloader unlocked?
Hello, I'm having the same problem too, but I wonder how do I "turn off" the device, since I keep pressing the top button to do this and it reboots and goes into CWM mode? Will I have to remove the battery?
Good news. Luckily I managed turn off the device. In the CWM main menu, keep the cursor positioned over the option that resets the device. Hold down the power button and immediately after, press the volume up and hold. Wait until the device vibrates 3 times. Now ready you run the procedure to connect in download mode and reinstall your firmware.
You guys must have used cmd to flash nozomi-recovery.img?
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, exactly. I used recovery-nozomi.img with CWM version 5.5.0.4 ... but I made a mistake in not installing SuperSU.

That's why I hate nozomi - recovery.img!
Nothing to worry... Happened to me too.
Use flashtool to reflash entire ftf(if you have ulbl) else use SEUS to repair (if you have lbl, I hate pcc!).
If lbl.... Then ulbl.
Use cmd to flash a custom kernel(don't use doom kernel its for gb).
Finished....
Thank... If helpful

hmm
Had a similar problem.. FIxed it with a lot of reading but now dnt remeber anymore :/
I'm having this problem too...
Almost everything is ready for flashing now, except the phone is not really turning off, even after 3 vibrates when holding down power and volume up... It turns off, but coming back in flash process!
That's how far I can go: It turns off, I hold down volume down, connect it to PC, have a green light. Flashtool see the phone, I push Flash button,Program gives "Device connected in flash mode" message, then "Selected Xperia s (LT26i)_WORLD_6,1,A,2,50_IT.flf" message, "Preparing files for flashing" message and "Device disconnected" message, because this stupid Recovery back on my screen again...
If I just can find the way to turn off my phone, so it's not come back to live when connected to PC...

Please, tell me which option do you mean..? It's no such an option like "Reset the device"...
SOLVED!
I manage to fix it!
Just wait for Flashtool to give error message (with phone picture and USB cable in it) and ask to reconnect device. Unplug device, press power button and volume up button until vibrate 3 times. Push volume down and plug usb cable, to get green light. Flashtool continue process from where it was broken.
Error message popped up not from first try, so hopefully this will be helpful to somebody...
Sorry for my english...
Many Thanks

My phone was stuck in CWM mode. After going through this post, i could recover my phone in normal mode

Hi.
I have read all threads regarding Xperia Active ST17i bootloop, but not in my case where i need pictures recovered from internal memory.
So please anyone advanced users that knows what he/she is talking about then please reply, Is it possible to extract data/pictures from internal memory when the phone is in a bootloop it boots and when it comes to splashscreen it reboots over and over again.
Phone is not rooted and stock rom from SonyEricsson in that time.. I manage to get the phone into FAST BOOT mode by pressing and holding VOL UP and then put the usbcable (connected to pc) to phone, then blue light lits up and you can release VOL UP button.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible and how to do it., please please please..
Also i I can not get the phone in RECOVERY mode, anyone knows hot to put it in that mode?
Thx!

Pictures are always stored in SD card. All you have to do is pull the SD card and you have "recovered" pictures,,,

At first this is the wrong section to discuss this. To your problem. Press the red reset button with a pen or something. Its next to the sim card slot. After that you should can go in to recovery mode.

Thank you so much for replaying didn't work
You can't go into fastboot mode? Press volume up und connect it to your pc.
