Can't mount internal or external storage

0.00 internal storage and the external reads 0. I have flashed every Odin file I could find, tried the heimdall one click. Nothing is working. Any ideas? I promised the phone to my father in law and he is in town for the weekend.

Hmm how about making your phone soft brick, then use odin.

I don't really know, but here are some ideas.
Did you disable voodoo lagfix?
Try "eugenes froyo that doesn't brick" for the 60th time.
On ODIN put a check mark next to Re-Partition, but you said that had no effect.
Hmmmmmm, I bet eugene knows the answer. I feel like there is a thread somewhere that discusses this issue.
If you figure it out, let us know!

I was on cm7. No voodoo. I didn't have a SD in the phone and plugged it in for mass storage. Upon realizing that, I popped one in with the phone still connected. That's when I noticed the problem. I haven't been using my phone. I Odin'd from cm7 weeks ago and didn't touch the phone until I plugged it in for mass storage.

I had the same issue when I was coming back to a froyo rom from CM 7.1, I did everything you did flashed froyo that didn't brick and nothing so this is what I did I used Odin JI6 file from this thread ODIN JI6 and the zip comes with ODIN 1.3, 512 PIT,T959UVJI6.TAR. I used that version of odin 1.3 to flash JI6 tar and pit files and checked re partition, when it rebooted it was stuck at the factory recovery so I pulled the battery, held vol up vol down and plugged in the usb cord to get back into download mode. Now I opened ODIN 1.7(DL LINK) and flashed froyo that doesn't brick also check re partition when it re boots it will go into a boot loop you know this, so THEN yes one more odin I kept the same version of odin open 1.7 and I flashed Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.zip also with re partition checked. After all this I was still having issues with market then I cleared market catch installed trigger rom and now I can install apps again I would like to tell you the three odins was unnecessary but it wasn't until odin with JI6 that now my phone work right as for CM roms I never have one issue flashing then but if I want to revert back to a 2.2 rom it's a all day event hope this helps
EDIT LOL try the two peoples above me^^^ method first they seem to be on the right track ^^^

Also noticed that when I flash JFD, I get no errors(datadata, sd card, mmcblk0) in recovery after it boots from odin. The catch is, it goes black after the boot animation. Only the soft keys will light up. Really super stumped. Adb wont see my phone, so its making it really hard to manually repartition the internal storage. I have never been a adb wiz.

I thought you got this fixed?

Negative Ghostrider I thought I did. But no dice.

Well damn. Have you tried different versions of Odin? What about a Voodoo kernel and conversion, any difference? There is something I remember reading a while back about an issue like this, I don't remember exactly what it said, but I'll try to find it for you.

I can't find the thread I was thinking of, sorry. I was thinking that your issue here sounds very similar to when people had done the partitioning via rom manager/cwm. Perhaps fixes for that will lead you in the right direction.

No Files SD Card Stuck on 3 Android Skating

Ok I am working on this mytouch it is stuck on the android skating and the SD card is completely blank. the Hboot is 0.86.0000
I want to put the correct files back on the sd card and the correct PD15IMG so that i can un-soft brick this phone i have no other info from the prior owner rooted or not ect.. ADVICE, LINKS, DOWNLOADS ???

Download the gingerbread PD15IMG.zip from here. Place it on the SD Card, boot into hboot, then let it do its thing! Press thanks if I helped

So question? Even if the Android File system is missing on the SD card this will re-build it?

Invasion2 is correct. The "system" files are stored on the internal memory. Any folders/files missing from the sd card that weren't put there by you will be regenerated by android and apps you use.

I was in a boot loop after a failed install of a custom rom - did all the research - came to the conclusions that I had bad emmc - was getting the fail-pu errors when trying to flash the PD15IMG.zip. As a last ditch effort, found a thread that talked about SD format - yep found out it was an issue with my SD card format. I ended up putting another SD card in that worked in another phone (could also format a new card FAT32) and was able to finally get past this and get the stock (froyo) image on.

Yes but this is for a phone with custom recovery that is not the case here this is a stock phone with s on

lost 16gb?

I got a 32gb yesterday and it was 32gb..after today I just realize that my size capacity has went to 16 GB...for example...after factory reseting it shows up as free space of 13gb... All I did was flash userdata. IMG and cache.img with cwm recovery. Is there any way of fixing this?

The things you've flashed might of had the partitioning scheme in-mind of a 16GB device (which would mean the other 16GB would be unpartitioned and invisible.
You could probably try seeing if there are specific 32GB files you can flash though.

I have this EXACT same problem and I've been busting my a** off trying to find a solution to it. I did the same as you and flashed userdata.img and cache.img after a boot loop when I unlocked the bootloader (I did factory reset but it didn't have any impact and everything I tried didn't work, including re flashing the stock image). I've looked around on Google alot and was contemplating posting too but thought I'd do some more research first cause I had a similar problem on my HTC One X. Some solutions state deleting 'lost.dir' or the lost+found folder might help but this didn't work for me. 16gb has just vanished =(

Yeah...I can't do anything....I tried almost everything

I'm going to try and full wipe again, from within the settings. If that doesn't work, I might full wipe from recovery and if that doesn't work I might try to re flash the user data and cache.img. Just can't test it yet cause I set up all my data yesterday and I can't back it up since Macs don't read 4.2 devices natively argh.

Haha that's great to hear buddy. I know it's probably too late to ask now cause you have probably started to re download your apps and settings but do you think just flashing user data would work? The flashall doesn't work for me for some reason on my friend's mac.

No I don't think so. Its supposed to reformat the user data.IMG position. Try using a windows computer or Linux computer.

Would love to do that on my Windows computer but atm I don't have access to one cause my laptop broke just a couple of weeks back. I may try to move the stock rom to my Nexus and flash it. Will see how that goes if full wiping doesn't work. Thanks bud and glad to hear your Nexus 10 is back to normal

I think it will work on the Mac. U got to give it root permission so do sudo then the flash-all script. Make sure they're all in the same folder. In order to run it with sudo you should type sudo then drag the script into the terminal and enter. I'm not sure though if this is how you do it on Mac though

PLEASE HELP. Boot loops to recovery

I installed the HORSEMAGEDDON ROM and it worked - for the most part. But it kept giving me annoying errors about different apps that were attempting to update every time I turned it on. So I tried to restore my backup that I had made with CWM 6.0.2.8. However the backup apparently did not restore properly because it now boot loops back into CWM any time I try to start it. I get the errors:
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
E:Can't open cache/recovery/last_log
So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON but it still loops back into the CWM recovery screen.
I have wiped everything according to the instructions on the HORSEMAGEDDON thread.
HELP!! This happened to me on another U8800-51 phone and I wound up hard bricking it trying to get back to stock.

Anybody???
Does anybody have any ideas on how I can fix this?

Okay. Here is what I did step by step:
1. I was on Stock 2.2.2 Froyo and flashed HORSEMAGEDDON successfully. But I had some errors related to updates since it was such an old ROM the updates were all for much newer versions of the apps tied to 4.x.x.
2. I attempted to restore my backup made with CWM 6 to return to the stock. It said it completed successfully but when I rebooted it just looped into the recovery screen with the error messages posted in my first post.
3. So I tried to reflash HORSEMAGEDDON and it said it completed successfully. But it still bootloops into recovery.
4. I can access most of the features of the recovery. I can access the pink screen and swap recovery versions. I can access my SD card from my PC when I mount it from recovery.
5. Yes, I did do full wipes with each attempt to reflash.
The ROM was not the problem. It worked and worked well other than update issues for apps. It was only after attempting to restore to stock I ran into issues.
The problem appears to be something was corrupted when I tried to restore my backup, even though it said it completed successfully.
So if I try to flash yet another custom ROM, even if I could find one I trust given all of the version issues etc., I don't think it would act any differently. But if somebody can recommend one I am all ears. Keep in mind I have a -51 phone so it will have to be for that or the PRO.
Given that, how can I get back to stock? Am I the only person who has ever had this problem? I don't believe that is the case, so somebody must know how to fix it or can point me to a procedure to repair the internal memory.
Help!!

None of the fixes on this link seem to apply to my situation.
When I said "bootloop" I may have misused the term. What happens is I power up, it goes to logo screen for about 10 seconds, shuts down and restarts to logo screen then goes into recovery after about 5 seconds. From other info that I have found it is due to a corrupt bootloader and I need to reflash the bootloader. Problem is, reflashing the bootloader i.e. CWM, does no good at all.
I am also hampered by lack of info specific to the -51 model. And I cannot find a copy of the stock ROM anywhere that is for the -51.
So essentially I am screwed. All of that said, I have found a new phone for $40.00 so all is not lost. It's a U8800 but not the -51 or PRO. I don't plan on customizing it, I'll just stick with stock. After trashing two phones even after following the advice to "BACKUP" I think enough is enough. Backing up did me no good whatsoever in both cases.
In my estimation, the culprit is CWM, or at least the versions I used.
If anybody has any advice I'm all ears.

It is possible that your NC internal memory has become read only. I have seen this happen rarely before. It acts like you are writing to it but nothing sticks. Successfully flashing the repair 14567 zip should have caused it to boot to cwm when you remove the SD. I am afraid your unit is toast.

I finally got everything to work. I was going to throw the NC away, and decided I would try one more time, and it worked. The results were after I flashed the partition 1,etc... and it would not do anything, until I flashed the partition 2, and still nothing, until I flashed the NC stock update.
BUT.... I just posted a new question, about it will only go to Stock 1.2. It will not let me
put 1.4 NC update on it, nor any of the custom Rom's ? Is there anything more I can do?
