Hey guys soive been looking around too see if anyone is getting the problem where the sdcard isnt able to mount for some reason. idk whats happening but if anyone could help that would be great.. i rooted my defy and installed bootmenu but for some reason it wount mount the sdcard.
and i think i just put mydefy in an infinate boot loop. does anyone have any fixes for these problems? it would be really helpful.

Pull the battery out for 10sec and reinsert and retry.. it could help..

If you're talking about flashing .zip's in Recovery mode, you just use the "Install zip from sdcard" option instead of the "Apply update from sdcard" option to flash your update files.
As for the sdcard mount problem;
What exact model is your defy?
Can you mount the SD card from the launcher via; Root Browser or ROM Toolbox?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when the phone is at the Launcher?
Can you mount the SD card from your computer when your phone is in Bootloader mode?
I think I had this problem a while ago but a Quarx nightly update fixed it...

Try to reformat your SDCard using windows. (fat32)

Do not format via cwm. Did you use bootmenu or only cwm?

Try this custom rec
format your sd card, or insert a a new one preferable Class 4
after that
attached is the file.
Usb debug on
install it
usb debug off
restart it
open the software and boot into recovery.
hope it works.
Thanks

Did what you said and all is working perfectly, thank you very much. This is now solved but may help someone else in the future.
Thanks again

just download and use SDFormatter 3.0 to format your SD card
it works for me ...
if not , you must use Flash Tool to Flash Kernel & Offical Rom too
So you just need to format the SD card into FAT32? wouldn't all the files inside be lost?

Afaik, you have to boot into recovery, go under mount options, select mount sd card and then connect it to your PC. Usually it should detect your device.
I've always done the same.
And if you don't have a card reader, I don't think it's too expensive to buy one.
Thank you guys, ive solved the problem.
Now i have FXP Ice Cream Sandwich on my Arc! really great rom.
Thanks!

[Q] Install CM9 on Gio with GioPro

Hi guys,
i've a Galaxy Gio with Android 2.3.5 and GioPro 1.4 and i'd like to update the last beta 5 of CM9.
Does anyone know how to install it?
I read the Maclaw post but i'm not sure if i need to install the clockworkod 2 for CM9!
Thank you all!
Here's some help:
1. Yes, you have to get the clockworkmod recovery, download it, and place it on your sdcard.
2. power off your phone.
3. Power on holding these buttons: power + home.
4. you should be in recovery, choose apply update from sdcard and navigate to px-cwmv2 (or whatever it is called)
5. After install, choose "reboot system now" You should now be in clockworkmod.
6. choose "install zip from sdcard" Navigate to the downloaded cm9 (called cm-giobeta5)
7. Install it.
8. Wipe data and reboot. (when it boots it will appear as a black screen, ignore that and wait for the bootanimation)
9. Enjoy Galaxyics
I would also like to install cyanogen mod 9 for my gio, and i sucessfully installed that special clockwork recovery mod that i supposedly need. I did that and now when i boot into it, it says "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/log" and "E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log". I didnt have this warning on Clockwork recovery mod 5.0.2.7 ???

I used to get that too, but nothing serious became of it. I don't remember how (if) I have fixed it yet.

Okay i will! Does doing that fix the error i am getting? also Whats a good size to partition (i only have a 2gb card for now). I tried flashing Cyanogen Mod 9 yesterday with the regular clockwork recovery (oops) and got my gio bootlooping . I freaked out, not gonna lie. But then i flashed CM7 and it worked So i might flash to Cyanogenmod 9 later, i kinda like this Cm7!
Also, when i flashed cm7, it changed my minimum CPU clock frequecy to 128 from 254. It also down clocked from 800 max to 784. but it wont let me clock back up, or overclock! the settings wont apply after i reboot! Do you have an idea for this?

The second partition is optional.
But if u wanna use it, make sure u create ext4 as a primary.
Then u can use s2e, app2sd pro, a2sd DT etc.

well it's a try...so let's try it!
Now i don't mind about the second partition, when i'll become expert maybe i'll use it!
