How can I format internal SD card... without a screen - Galaxy S I9000 General

Hello,
my screen broke and I am pissed...
I want to try to have it replaced under warranty and yes I see myself the futility of this, but hey, trying won't hurt.
I already flashed JM1 to make it stock again and would like to format the internal SD card as it still contains personal data.
Can anyone tell me how I can achieve this without actually seeing what I do?
All other aspects of the phone actually work meaning I can still boot into recovery or download mode (in order to flash with odin), but I won't be able to see what I do.

connect via odin and tick repartion, should wipe everything, but beware of the pit files ak to choose the right one

Thank You for the info, but AFAIK this only clears data within the 1.XGB System Partition, not the 5.XGB Partition with Music and other data in it.

jep, and u can format the rest in recovery cant u?

jm1 uses 2e recovery or 3e?
connect ur phone to computer and u ll c ur internal sd memory. format it from there. bcoz u flashed to stock rom, ur phone might connect directly into kies on connecting it with pc. there u ll c the memories.

I can't see anything...
But the Kies approach could work, I will try it now

Replace screen by yourself, see guide on xda.

On a freshly flashed stock ROM, the default USB setting is set to Kies (through the MTP application), so soon as you connect it to a PC with Kies on it, you should be able to access your internal drive from there. Let us know how it goes.

Try reflash with odin using repartition and pit 512.

i used to try it, but.....
do you have other idea? i flashed a lot of rom and pit but the phone still display unavailable
i can't install any application from market
Clean stock rom flash with pit and repartition step one .
jje
did you had any lagfix before the upgrade? did you tried to flash with repartition?
i have the same problem any luck with this?
It sounds like you have corrupted your card by flashing incorrectly too many times.
AS A LAST RESORT ONLY:
Link the phone to the pc and format the internal sd with "panasonic sd formatter" its free, just google it, don't use windows formatter. The phone will then say that the sd card is corrupt, now go into recovery and factory reset the phone - make sure you can do this before doing anything!
Once you have it working again do yourself a favour and don't enable any lagfixes ever again.

YES i have the nandroid backup of stock firmware 2.1 in my internal sd card....but i need stock 2.1 kernel to get it working ....
i have the same problem my selfe.. win 7 64bit cant install drivers.. every driver says just "unknown device", if i force install a driver, it comes up with no 10 error.. cant start the device..
i have CF-root 3.1 and docs jvb 2.1, with no usb connection at all...
i had the same problem.. at home and at work i couldn't connect to a pc.. but i connected before on these pc's..
what solved my problem was to connect my phone to a pc where i never connected to.. so without any drivers.. after that my pc recognized it again.

so you are saying the problem lies in the phone, and not on the computer? cause, i have uninstalled the drivers and rebooted.. so it should be as a "new pc"..??
I had to install some drivers that I have downloaded somewhere to make it work. You should start by that
EDIT : was probably those one : http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml

I can confirm, that your capslock is working! Well done!
Do you have samsung kies installed? You need that for your drivers
I'm pretty sure you just need the drivers and not Kies. Well I don't have Kies anyway. Have a look for "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe" ... that's what I used. No crappy Kies.
Call me stupid, but have u enabled debugging mode?

I FLASHED STOCK 2.2 FIRMWARE ,I CAN CLAIM WARRANTY NOW.!!
i hope it will help those who have same issue with the usb..
Tnx,peeps. But still no luck. Same problem on another PC, so it must be a rom/kernel flash ****up..

am i missing something here ??
your phones are working right ? just no usb connectivity ??
easiest way would be : download required ROM, copy onto a external sd card using a card reader (who doesnt own one ?? ) boot phone, copy to internal, boot into recovery and flash the .zip
sounds simple to me
Yea, that's whats odd. Phone works just fine, but no USB Conn. So I can't flash with Odin, or transfer files to and from computer. All happened after I installed cf-root.

It depends, do you have a ROM.zip or a backup saved?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
unfortunately I have nothing saved................... Is it possible to get the tab back to its orginally state?
Holding volume - and power will boot into recovery mode, you will find the wipe options there. Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Go back and wipe both cache and data and then reboot. Cross your fingers haha. Worse case scenario just wipe a full ROM if my first suggestion doesn't resolve the issue.

My friend did the same thing and I am trying to figure it out. I can't even get into odin mode. When I hold down volume down and power nothing happens I get a connect ping on my computer than an instant disconnect ping. No Samsung logo no options menu. What do I do?
Disconnect from PC and hold volume down and power (long) then it should go....

ok got it now where do I get a rom. any kind of rom to flash with odin. This devices has no roms on its sd. I can't get adb to pick it up and it won't show me usb storage so I have no way to flash anything with it. So im stuck.
I am far from an expert on this stuff but here is an idea.
If you can download an app from the market and are rooted, try installing Samba Sharing which will allow you to see your SD card on your networked PC. If you get that far, you should be able download whatever ROM you want to the PC, transfer it to your SD card and install it.
As part of the process, you should probably try to backup whatever you have on the Tab first.

Go to recovery wipe everything then boot. It will ask you to setup the tab, input your wifi info, connect to wifi. open a browser find xda search for galaxy tab 10.1, go to development thread, and download the rom of choice. Power off boot into recovery and install rom

For ROMs you need to just copy them to your storage on your tab, then boot into recovery and flash them. Odin installs .tar files and the likes. Sounds like your best bet is to find a stock recovery image/file and push it through Odin and then re-root and copy a ROM and flash it in CWM.

Recover Data From Internal Storage

I have flashed stock with odin but forgot to backup my data from my internal storage and I was wondering if i can recover the data.
I have installed a few data recovery programs but my phone is not listed as a device to restore.
I have tried on windows and mac with no success.
Thanks

If you flashed a stock ROM on your phone, I'm pretty sure that wipes your internal storage, so I don't believe you will be able to recover the lost data. I may be wrong and perhaps you can use a data recovery tool to recover the data, but I don't think data is stored the same way on these phones as on a computer. Moral of the story: backup!

Thanks but my problem is that the recovery tools dont recognize my phone. On my previous phone the nexus s I was able to restore the data.
Maybe it doesnt recognise my phone because it doesnt mount the sd card it uses mtp.

Possibly, or perhaps the app hasn't been updated to support the gs4 yet. Under the description of the apps where update changelogs are displayed, is there any mention of gs4 support?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
i think that the problem is how to mount the internal storage for a pc to see it. if this is possible then any recovery software may then try to find and recover deleted files. i really want to see a solution to this coz i mistakenly wiped the internal sd of my s4 which has pictures taken from a recent vacation with family. hope someone comes up with something soon...

Stuck in Recovery

Any help would be appreciated at this point :/
Phone had been rooted, installed TWRP, downloaded the ROM I wanted and put it on external SD card... good so far?
Rebooted into recovery, made sure ROM and gapps were in the correct folder, wiped everything accordingly...The *contents* in the folder in which the ROM and gapps were placed were deleted. The folder its self was not, nor were any other folders or their contents in the mother folder.
Any clues? Now I'm sitting here stuck in either recovery or download mode whichever I so choose and the computer cannot identify the phone for me to transfer files over.
Uh......

Odin back to stock ROM.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
You could uninstall and reinstall the USB drivers and use a USB port that directly connects to the motherboard (back of the PC) and try flashing stock again via Odin. Or, head down to Walmart and grab a micro sd card to place your rom, gapps, backups, etc on. I highly...HIGHLY recommend using a micro sd card if you plan on living the rooted life
How about taking out the external sd card, plug into computer and transfer rom and gapps onto card, put card back into phone and then reboot back into recovery.

This is your best bet. Otherwise you could adb push the ROM and gapps to your sd. But if you're not set up for adb, that's a lot of work.

Thanks guys for all the information. I have been having issues with installing the drivers correctly (Win8) but Kies seems to work well for the most part. I decided to open Kies and do the emergency restoration and it's back to normal now.
Question: If one were to restore it via Kies, could another model number be searched for and installed? ie the i9500 or i9505 firmware? Just a thought.
Anyway, thanks again... oh and I do have a micro sd card. I came from the Skyrocket and flashed probably half a million times lol. This is what threw me for a loop, deleting the ROM from inside the folder but not the folder, nor anything else on the sd card.

Hehe, I figures just as much. Wasn't going to try it anyway, unless it was maybe the Google version without all the crapware, which is supposed to be released shortly from my understanding

I always do this. It will save you time to make sure you keep a hard copy of your main roms on your PC. And have a way to transfer them to your mini sd (old phone, usb device, or mini to full size adapter. As most PC's have a full size slot. This method has saved me countless hrs.. Flashed about 15 roms on my new S4 and haven't even downloaded Oden.. But I've had to use this method twice. Works great.
