Hey guys here is my story:

I flashed my captivate i896 with cyanogenmod cm7 then tried to flash back to stock with a 2.3.4 rom and checked repartition by mistake...after that the mmcblk partition that recognizes all the media in my cellphone was gone, so it doesn`t reads any sd (internal storage, movinand or external sds), it shows unavailable space with internal 16gb, external sds and 0.0k with internal storage.

I have tried to flash with many roms. The only one that could actually boot the phone was a recovery image of i897 speedmode with CWM, but still can recover the deleted partitions. I went into CWM recovery to try to mount or format them, but it doesn't let me.

In conclusion, I though that maybe flashing movinand and emmc files using heimdall could repair my cellphone, I been looking everywhere for information about flashing this files, but couldn't find the files or usufull information about it. I hope someone here can help me.

All you need to do is flash a stock ROM, from Odin or Heimdall, and a pit file. If you want to use Odin to repartition, it's as easy as loading a pit file in the pit slot, then check repartition. If you want to use Heimdall, you will need to be on Linux instead of windows. If you can use the Odin one click jf6 by designgears(not all phones can use it), it will repartition for you.

I already tried that with no luck, because after flashing back to stock the cellphone can't read the sd so it shows me the following message:

E:Failed to mount...

Low level format

Hi guys, I keep looking everywhere but haven't g found a way to format the internal storage, no even a low level format
Any resolution to this.. I have the same issue and have tried numerous re-flashes with BL and w/o.. with PIT repartition and several different roms.. all to no avail.
