hello, i am really really scared about what happened to my phone, i dont know when it happened or how it happened.... i just restarted it, and the apps on my desktop, go green, and i cant click on them, i knew they were on sd card, but the dont', then show any more, i tried to put my backup rom in again after wiping everything, but same problem, i cant even install apps from market, when i click on "free" then the "ok" button doesnt press, and i cant install apps from sd card either. i tried to take out the sd card and putting it back in but nothing. i can go to my sd card thru astro, etc, and browse and everything, just cant install apps. i cant even use the UPDATE SERVICE on the computer, and my computer doesnt detect usb, same with my phone. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME, IM SOO SCARED. i am using 2.2.1, the gingerbread theme.i cant move apps, they keep saying "moving": forever, but never move,
therefore i cant install it, the only way that might work, is the custom.zip, with apps in it.thats what ive been thinking of so far, but how can i make that .zip folder? i got the titaniumbackup, using xrecovery, there was a .zip,and when i go in "partition tools", my cashe is always mounted, even if i unmount, it gets mounted.
thanks.
well..... flash back to original FW with flashtool...... then brick ur phone again... huhu..
@whitezboon - He can't use flashtool cos it won't detect the USB... [I pressed thanks by mistake]
however, there may be another option.. you might be able to get a std 2.1 ROM that you can flash onto the phone using xrecovery.. take the microSD card out of your phone - put the rom on there using your PC and a microSD adapter and voila..
Factory reset
@whitezboon, i cant connect it to computer....
and where can i download the std 2.1 rom from???
use Tool from Bin4ry's and Androxyde to flash ( seek in this forum for it, there r guide to use it), after done restore backup..

i fully recovered my phone and everything, with the "2.1" update service. thru my computer, i let the sony companinion do it. everything worked fine, so then i rooted it, then busybox, xrecovery etc, then installed free beta rom 4 for x10, and the same problem, and other roms have the same problem too...

is ur main problem accessing SD cards contents form android OS or inability to install apps from market?
3
3 problems, i cant install apps from market, sd card, i also cant connect to computer, but can charge.
i can go thru the sd card with astro, do stuff, when i press install, it keeps installing but never ends. i can download things from internet too. i dont know what happened, it only happens on 2.2/+, otherwise its fine, the only reason i dunt like 2.1 is cuz its really really slow
Sounds like your Sd cards the problem. Try formatting via computer with adapter, then put it back in your phone. Good luck

any info u might want i am open to tell you (like my kernel version etc) i just dont know what u need to "solve" my problem ;d just ask!

bump
so i somehow managed to downgrade my hero, flash it through recovery and i can access the new menu from home + power button but it still says am not rooted... any ideas?:/
You have achieved major hurdles.
To get root you have to flash rooted rom like Mocado's. I have v2.8 which I think has everything I wanted. You can have your own choice>>>

if i flash a rom do i loose my messages/contacts if i DONT backup?also can i partition my SD without rooting? and i have already tried Amon Ra with better terminal emulator but it fails ;d btw if possible try pm me
f--k this-.-
after all the good progress i've had..
i managed to root it, partition my SD and when i tried to move my apps it, midway, it asked me to restart my device..so i did.. and now all my apps are gone, factory reset has been made, contacts are lost, messages are lost..almost EVERYTHING is lost apart from application shortucts-.- :S i have made a backup but i dont know how to use it (lol-.-) pls reply
freaking p----ed...
sry for all the bumpness.. really in need of help
whenever i try to fastboot it says not allowed..and am about to cry..
stupid nandroid backup cant get it to work! pls help!
You flashed Amons recovery... With it you can format and partition sd card, and flash rom of your choice.
Yes you loose everything when flashing rom. You could have copied your contact on sim or sd, same for applications. You can reinstall but a word of advice,
Do your wipes first, I mean to ensure smooth running of rom. Hope it helps.
And when not sure please read, read and read, we are all here to help one another. Regards.
how can i do a backup for my contacts and messages? i have the .img files ;/
when i fastboot it says remote: not allow
also htc sync doesnt work now
and when i restore from recovery boot it says nandroid mobile sh failed run via console ;/
No dont flash .img.
Re- restoring contacts, I dont know any easy way but all your sim contacts can be copied. All phone contacts will have been wiped ,that swhat happenes when we install new os.
i thought it was the other way around and i copied everything on my mobile.. lol..
anw doesnt matter ;d just had 40 contacts anw ;d
can i restore messages, application saves and application folders at least? btw my phone aint working on htc sync now ROMS are still on btw
and how can i correctly partition my SD so any application i add it is saved on SD?thx ;d
Just one thing. Refrain from using foul languages as this forum is open to all ages of members and it will also reflect bad on you.
Install something like Astro, open it ,click menu and go from there to back up all your installed apps.
yeah sry forgot :/
will edit it right away
also thats what i mean, all my apps and their saves/settings are on backup.imgs :/ my hero is like a brand new one with modaco installed and nothing else... and htc sync doesnt load it, although i can use mass storage
Back up images are actually of rom itself. Sorry I dont know how to reinstate sms messages. This questiones was asked by a friend about his iPhone and again I couldnt answer as I never owned iPhone.
Anybody out there to answer question raised in above post?
meh doesnt matter i guess
i'll just "rebuild" it from scratch ;/
just wanna know what to do now so i get a partition on my SD.. i have a 2gb card which was partitioned before but i restored it.. i want 2 things
1) howto partition it for automatic saving apps on SD! and not having to move them everytime
2) how to make HTC sync works -.- i think i "broke" it:S i reinstalled it 4 times so far..nothing..
1) Format and partition feature s in your recovery. Format the whole card as fat32 and next make partition but again you will loose everything on card! After that you will need to mount your sd card ( option in recovery) so that you can put copy back everything on it. But why do you want to do it if everything is working?
2) Do you see ADB in system properties? If yes, drivers are installed correctly.
It is worth browsing Dream forums as Dream was first Android phone hence more to read and almost all can be related to Magic and Hero units operational practices except rooting and flashing bits.
one last thing man
atm i am looking for another application to connect to my hero to install other apks :/ currently i have apps2sd on hero although and i was wondering if all i have to do is Copy apps to SD and thats all? (whats dalvik cache that asks me to copy btw?)
i asked about formating and partitioning cause i am getting an 8gb in a few days and i was wondering if i should do it like that
and no i cant see ADB in system properties ;o how can i install the drivers ;/
1) i've read that modaco doesnt work with HTC sync anymore sometimes.. so i was wondering if there is anyway i can install apk without htc sync?
(tried with adb had 2 different errors)
2)is there anyway to like load 2-3 roms and swap between them without loosing anything? (if yes, how)
thx
edit: i reinstall htc sync and my drivers are gone! cant get them back..my pc doesnt even load APK files! :S
Hey guys I have been trolling this forum for some very useful information, and it has helped me quite a bit, but on this one I am stuck. Every time I try and delete something on this phone (Samsung Vibrant) it just comes back. This was not my phone before, I am just trying to put it back to stock.
I have flashed the phone 3 times using odin, including using the re-partition option.
When I hook the phone up to the pc, and load update.zip into the root folder, and reboot into recovery mode, it says cannot find sd card/update.zip. Even when I go in and manually delete apps if I reboot the phone, they all just come back.
Am I missing something? part of me wants to say its something easy.. but I have searched and searched about this and found nothing. Is there a mod out there that does this? -Thanks
*edit* Oh, and it seems like any time I think I might get close, I get the little android and the triange w/ the exclamation point.
Bueller?
How are you deleting? What are you deleting? Why are you using odin to delete apps? Not enough info to help you.
Hi, I am just trying to totally wipe the phone back to stock, hence odin. I dont care about info being lost. But like I said.. if I go in and manage applications, and remove them manually, I restart the phone and like magic they are all back.. I am quite confused. I hook the phone up to the pc, open the phone and manually delete pics and songs that way.. unplug the phone from the pc, and its like i never did anything.

If you want to wipe the best thing to do is flash Eugene's Froyo that does not brick. That will get rid of EVERYTHING. From there flash JFD. That will give you the clean start you want.

Yeah, that is the problem. I already did that, and the stuff is still there. I did it 3 times. I flashed it with the 512 pit, did a re-partition and the JFD. Then went back and even updated it to the JI6 firmware, and loaded it with the stock kernel.
I'll help you out before you needlessly flash roms over and over and over.
Before you say, "WTF!!!! That doesn't answer my question" please read to the end.
1. As I understand your problem, you want to wide everything from your INTERNAL SD Card.
2. as such, The steps are as follows:
3. Go to settings.
4. Go to "SD Card and phone storage"
5. "Unmount phone storage"
6. "Format phone storage"
This is assuming that you are ALREADY on stock Rom.
If not, flash the stock first, then wipe your internal SD.
Remove your External SD and SIM card. *(Not required), but i'm paranoid, and this always helps me feel better on the off chance that something does happen while i'm wiping the internal SD.
GL
That was first thing I tried to do, sorry I didnt post that in OP. I tried to unmount and format using the in phone software. I have tried a hard reset using the button combinations on the phone. I have also done a factory format using the service code. All to no avail.
Thanks for the input.. believe me, if I could have avoided the time and hassle of reading about odin I would have. Odin was a last resort.
I dont know if this is helpful or not but after I format the internal sd.
Total Space: 13.18 GB
Free Space 12.31 GB
I am really beginning to think that the internal SD is broken/corrupted or something. As I said in the OP when I boot into recovery, it says it cannot find sdcard/update.zip. Furthermore, if I mount the usb as mass storage, and go into the folders and delete pictures/whatnot. Even if I unplug the phone from the computer, its as if I never did anything. The pictures will all still be there as if nothing happened. If I go in and manage apps, and remove them all one by one, then reboot the phone all the apps are there. These are all reasons why I think the internal storage is messed up.
I was/am quite confused. This is why I requested ideas from people smarter than me.. i.e you guys . Thanks for all the input this far, my OP was a little lacking I suppose.
Did you ever get problem resolved?

@jorsh :
I had the same problem with u. Can't delete few old files that stored in the internal SD. Also, I can't use update.zip in the recovery mode. It says "cannot find sdcard/update.zip.
My phone also can't play MP3 file or 3GP file that transfered from other phone / PC.
Anyone can help us ?
How are you deleting the files?
What are you running?
the update.zip, are you guys talking about rooting, or clockwork recovery?
Sorry, thanksgiving was preventing me from following the thread. The problem is still unresolved. I was trying the update.zip in recovery mode, as far as I know there is no clockwork on the phone. I thought the update.zip was just a recovery image that the phone used as a basis for restoring the phone.

I have tried deleting files a few different ways.
Odin, directly via pc with usb mount, and using the software on the phone itself, and tried using factory formats/resets hard and soft.
What do you mean by what am I running?
i just buy a used vibrant. There are some photos & files in the internal memory. I can erase it with file manager, but when I restart the phone, those photos & files appear again.
Same thing with with the gmail account. This gmail account is sign up by previous user. I can't remove this account.
I already try using "factory reset", but it's useless. Those photos & gmail account still in my phone.
I'm running in 2.1 T959UVJI2
about the update.zip, I'm using for rooting. I can't root the phone too. I'm using the file "SGH-959 Root Update.zip" then rename it to "update.zip"
I put this update.zip that the root folder of my internal SD. Bad thing is, this file is gone when I restart my phone (turn off then turn on). So, when I goes to recovery mode, it always said : cannot find sd card/update.zip
anybody can help me ? pleaseeee. So frustated >.<
Yeah that sounds pretty much exactly like my problems.
Perhaps people are having a hard time helping because we cant determine what you are trying to do....
first, yes, there is a clockwork recovery... download rom manager from the market.
there are going to be folders on the internal memory you can not remove because the OS puts them there.
could you please say exactly what you want to do???
I am just trying to delete everything and basically restore the phone back to factory. But it seems like the normal ways of doing that are not working.
Use ODIN to go to stock ji6 or jk2. I have a guide in my signature
Once you reboot mount the internal memory and format it. Settings > sd card and phone storage

Hello, I have to let you know that my knowledge over android is limited.
My (rooted) p500 was working flawlessly.
One day the music app just stopped working. I tried to uninstall it with an unistaller, and try to install it again. It wouldnt install for no reason. Just keeps "installing" and never ends.
Next step was performing full backup with the titanium backup. After that i restored the phone to the factory settings.
And here comes the major problem. Any app i try to intall Just keeps "installing" and never ends. Even from the market or just by running the apk.
I performed several restores to factory setting and it didnt help. I cleared the updates the cashe and the data from the Market app. Didnt help.
Is there any way to bring my phone back to normal?
use AppMonster to do your installs/uninstalls or Astro File Manager. I've experienced this issue with the latest version of titanium backup.
Well at this time my phone is useless. I can't install anything.
Is there a way back?

I'll try it also! Thank you!
If its not too late, it might be better to use a lower version ROM as that is V10L. Which I believe is NOT ROOTABLE.

I tried to do the trick but i could make it through the drivers setup. I put the phone in the emergency mode. After that, and seeing that i couldn't got it working. I restarted the phone, did a reset to factory settings. My phone at this time WAS working.
I started installing apps, but after installing 13 of them, it stuck again. From now on it's in the same situation as before, i cannot install any more.
Should i try the trick again?
Try a different sd card.
Do you have custom recovery? If not, install it. And then you can install any custom rom.

What else have you done with your phone?
My phone did something like this before when I tried to force it to directly install everything new to my memory card which was Class 2. I used some command prompt stuff I found on the internet to instruct my phone to shift to SD card.\ storage.
It would be able to install some files and I even remember Angry Birds would install to SD card even before the mod. Then it would stop and hang at the installing screen after a while.
The solution (after a week at the service center) was to get a faster memory card. That's what the guy said. My temporary fix was to install everything to the Internal Memory like it is supposed to, and move them to the SD card using Titanium Backup. But this made some apps move too slowly...

I used an unistaller to unistall the preinstalled music app because it stopped working. When i tried to install it again that was it, it hangs at the installing screen forever.
According to the sd the only thing i used the move2sd, but i didn't use it.
My sd is class 6.
Is it normal that the superuser (root) remains after recovering to the factory settings?
Should i try to reinstall the software by myself or let the lg technicians do it?
Mind-blowing (for me) update.
While using the device without the sd, the apps get installed normally!
WTF?
PS: Should i use the FAT or the FAT32 file system on my sd card?
I used another sd and it seems to work till now.
Finally.
I formatted the sd card (fat32 just as it was before) and now everything works perfect.
The only minor issue is that i cannot install the music.apk
It always fails. I like when it fails, at least it doesnt freeze.
Do you now any way i could install it, or should i get over it and use an other music app?

well first of all thanks for your help in advance.
I had a good x10 and decided to sell it and buy a new one because mine is already a bit scratched and other things the former was a X10A and now I have an X10 if that matters somehow.
good considering the x10 in hand I decided to update it first modific to 2.1 with good first non-tariff flashtool restarted. do it again and go for a while whether the network data set, each time an application instalava stuck and restarted.
after that does not solve the problem only 2g sailing. to make root was another problem with me probelam flastool was a play. remove the battery and leave it outside for a while. then again in the place lit if root root but the best was with superclickone.
then install the recovery well to try to install a different rom.
1.7 of laversion install it in my previous trip Experia worked perfectly.
and reboot several times but the biggest mistake was that he recognized me in any froyo memory told me that was not there I thought that was the only rom that fallava but try other froyo and I recon all the phone memory.
the formative and other things and not do anything.
I hope you can help me thanks.
well first of all thank you all for your time
baseband good use the 49 is the one used in the above and it worked well but you're right, maybe because it was for America proves with another 67 or more.
well that was installed with the Sony Ericsson flashtool X10i_2.1.1.A.0.6_CUST GENERIC-TH 1237-0336
root and then install other froyo over several people and doing the problem is restarted as long as I showed the worst memory.
rom froyo good at baseband always use 49 did not try other that could have caused this problem but I do not recognize the memory in the rom do not understand.
But the most curious .. I can restart the telefonoy xrecovery enter a bone having a rom froyo I recognize the memory but when it does not appear but entered the xrecovery if I have it and I can see all of it I install anything but get nothing.
Also if you want to install a backup does not work xrecovery entered the xrecovery give restore Begins choose the copy and paste to work then restarts and I lose everything because the phone does not come over and touch me again with the flashtool.
to light in the rom 2.1 if you recognize me in rom memory but I do not like froyo recognize the memory but still recognize it when I enter the xrecovery and I can see what is memory and install things that are in but when I restart it and entered into the system memory does not recognize me tells me no memory mounted.
thanks for everything
I'm sorry but I don't understand EXACTLY what your problem is. I understand that you used to have an X10a but now you have an X10i. Is that correct?
You have a problem because you have no 3G? Are you aware that an X10i has different 3G radio than an X10a?
Maybe you should tell where you are using your X10 and what your carrier is.
For what i can understand he used to have a X10a and now he has a X10i, he was using 2.1 before and now he is using a custom Froyo ROM.
The problem i think he has (besides this is written in "engrish" ) is that his Froyo ROM doesn't recognize the SDcard, but still xrecovery does recognize de SDcard.
He says that he has tried with other Froyo ROMS but he still has the same issue.
When he does a xrecovery backup his phone always crash and loses everything in SDcard.
Corrupted SDcard, maybe? o.o
Try reformatting your SDcard on your PC with FAT3 at 4clusters or something ._.
OK, I got that. Then as CescVicious says, you should:
1. Go into recovery, mount the SDcard and copy the entire contents of the card to PC
2. Repartition and format SDcard either from recovery or PC. I would make sure there is no ext partition just in case.
3. Copy the backup you just made back to SDcard
4. Reboot and see what happens
If the problem still continues, I would try a different SD card to see if it shows the same behavior.
Or am I still missing something here?
I've read a few posts that say to stay away from tenfar's CWM.......why is this? Is it buggy? Outdated? Would I use Romracer's instead? What's the difference?
Edit: Also, do I need an SD card to flash ROMs or can they be done via usb?
Yes, it is Outdated.
Download and install latest Romracer's recovery, its support better our Atrix.
Personally, i flashed roms and kernel from external sd and from internal sd too but not directly from usb.
I don't think you want to try it this way, the safest flashing is from the device itself, without connecting to a pc.
Imagine what can happen when you flashing rom from PC and the PC shutdown...

You're right, I'll wait till I get an SD card, thanks.
you should be ok to flash from the internal sd. it should be mounted as a separate volume. even when i factory reset i don't lose the data on the internal sd.

Yes, it is Outdated.
Download and install latest Romracer's recovery, its support better our Atrix.
Personally, i flashed roms and kernel from external sd and from internal sd too but not directly from usb.
I don't think you want to try it this way, the safest flashing is from the device itself, without connecting to a pc.
Imagine what can happen when you flashing rom from PC and the PC shutdown...

Isn't flashing with fastboot the safest way?
I voided my warranty.
Via PC?
Long process like flashing with PC and Phone is never safety ...
There is always the risk that the PC can be shutdown during this process and your devices can damaged.
That's why we got Fruit Cakes for example.
Always do this things via phone only without any connect to PC during flashes and etc.
That's one of the reasons i got a good PSU (Corsair) and UPS for my PC
That makes sense. So when I plug my phone in, I can just put it in the root of the partition that shows up in windows, right? Cause that is the internal "SD" card?
Also how do you flash using flashboot? I'm trying to get Alien. From what I've read, I install romracer's CWM and use it to flash......I haven't gotten it to work though because romracer won't install (I think I know the problem though, I didn't delete the recover .sh file before installing)
Yes, this is the root of the internal SD.
I don't know if you can flash ZIP rom file with fasboot, but you can flash img files.
Try to install the new recovery with moto-fasboot, but you can also install it in this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16421425&postcount=95
I just use the CWMRecovery which installed from market "Rom Manager"
except it does not support external SD, it is working fine. I flash Alien#4 from stock 2.2.2 that way.

i don't have a pc. i have a laptop. the ups is built in. and when you flash with fastboot, if the file is no good, it will not flash. when you flash from your phone, it will flash anything and then you're more likely to get reboot.
I went ahead and installed RomRacer's CWM and flashed Alien v4, I love it so far.
Question: Is there an easy way to mass-download all the apps that I've purchased from the market? I know you can log into the market and send them to your phone, but that takes forever. Same thing for Amazon's app store. Any ideas?
Yes but this is for next time.......
Backup using titanium backup (pay for the pro version, its worth it).
Then after your next flash, open market, install titanium, then restore. bam all your apps back including their settings.
Its gold as its ROM neutral i.e. you can back up and restore apps across whatever ROMs and kernels you switch, as long as you specify only missing apps (so you don't overwrite system apps like dialer etc.)

So other than TiBu there isn't an easy way?

Umm. TiBU Pro is as easy as it gets : )
You could use other back up programs as well, but it wouldn't be any easier.
I personally use Tibu pro to back up/restore apps
and my backup root to backup retore texts/call logs etc
Well, I will use it in the future, but for now, it's a little too late for that I did however use MyBackup Root to back up all my junk. Just not programs....cause I thought I could just re-download them all with ease from the market. Apparently not though
