[Q] SD Card Error (can't mount /sdcard)

---

Hello,

I've been successfully rooted my Galaxy S (i9000) since the first day I got it. Installed CM10, Slim ICS and other ROM's with no problem. A few days ago I tried to flash the latest (beta if I'm not mistaking) of Slim ICS and somehow everything got screwed. Sadly I don't have a Titanium Backup.

The problem is with the internal memory I guess, as I can use an external SD card (The one that you place in the slot). I've tried everything from Ezboot, Darky ROM, pit files, and various stock kernels and ROMs with no success. I've also tried flashing a dbdata file with no success. From what I've read, the partitioning seems to be off, and that *could* be the problem. The errors I've got are:

When trying to wipe data/factory reset:

E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

While trying to install any rom (CM/Slim ICS):

E: Error in /sdcard/file_name.zip - Where file_name is the name of the rom archive.
Status (0)
Installation aborted.

The one thing I did not try is the ADB stuff for which I haven't found a proper guide. I've also tried various fixes from previous threads and I still haven't got it to work. Any help or pointers will be much appreciated. Thank you.

PS: I can enter recovery and download modes. Is the phone bricked?

UPDATE: I've managed to install CM9, but after it boots it sais Encryption Unsuccesfull.

Bad news, I had a similar problem...

Thanks a lot for the reply. Either I did something wrong or I don't know.. the guides don't work. Any other ideas?

Bump...

I had something similar and I found that when booting my phone what helps is keeping the external SD card outside and only after some time putting it back in...

the way I check it is that I have direct call to contacts in my Widgetsoid notification widget and only after they show the image of the person and not only a blank square then I enter my SD card.

but It always doing problems with my ringtones and making them Unkown so every reboot I have to rearrange them.

You could also check it by using apps that don't run with SD card... like camera, gallery, Waze and such.

Hope it works!
