if you see a caution (unknown error-18) while loading a apps from market, you shoul delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec'.
you find this file:
sd card>.android_secure>smdl2tmp1.asec
I've gotten that a few times since moving to froyo. All I had to do was unmount sd and try again. (googling gave me that tip)

Hi, I have an HTC HD2 which I recently upgraded it rom ver. 1.66.415.9. I used spb backup to get my main memory files. Somehow, in a way, I was able to get all of my files anfd programs with windows settings and registry using ROM upgrade mode without changing the rom version back to the old one. But the then when I took pictures then tried to open them in albums, they weren't saved. A probition sign (circle-backslash "no" sign) showed up. I tried to open it but an error shows up saying "unable to open this type of jpg file" and then the sign diappears, as if the image wasn't saved. I even tried saving a note file. After saving, I opened it but instead of showing the notes I wrote, symbol characters showed up as if the file was encrypted. After rebooting my mobile, the note file wasn't there. I still have enough storage space to save more files and pictures. Did anybody face the same problem that I did? Please help me and thank you in advance.
Can anyone please help me? This is really stopping me from being productive!
i would suspect the file associations / locations have been corrupted, probably by restoring the registry from a different rom.
(Registry really ought only to be copied over to fresh resets of the same rom, not new roms. It can be done, but its prone to issues just as you describe)
AND/OR
the image library files have become corrupted. Look in your image folders, and delete album.cache files. They will be automatically rebuilt.
I would try to consolidate what you have as it is now, if your files are all there, and your contacts are there, backup your contacts by some means, ensure all your files are on the sd card, and hard reset.
I have hard reset my mobile a couple of times, even before restoring the pim data without the system settings, the camera would take a picture but the picture wouldn't be saved on the sd. But after I restored everything, I thought of uninstalling resco file explorer (thinking that it was the problem) and deleting the library files, but nothing changed. But when I thought of formatting the sd card, I tried to reinstall resco explorer as it has a formatting feature. At first when I tried to install it to the sd card, it failed to install, but it was installed successfully in main phone memory. I opened resco and went to the formatting option. Once I started formatting, an error messege appears saying "Failed to format sd card. Please make sure that the sd card is not locked." Does this mean that if I formatted my sd card, the problem would be fixed? BTW, my sd is on a FAT sytem. To which type should I format the sd?
Thanks in advance
hmmm sounds like a funny sd card then.
use fat32
Seems to be the sd-card.
When I upgraded my ROM from 1.48 to 1.66 I restored main mem with everything with SPB-backup-file and everything worked fine from the beginning (except in setting tab still shows the info that old 1.48 ROM is installed).
Hope You made a backup of Your sd-card. So format sd on PC and copy back all files, should work then....... hopefully .......
ok now that's just wierd! I tried formatting the sd using the laptops card reader with the micro sd adapter, but an error appeared saying "Windows was unable to complete the format". I tried deleting the files but the laptop froze. I had to remove the sd to get it back working. Then I used a usb card reader. Some problem. Finally, I used the phone via the usb to format the sd. The error appeared again, but there was no problem when delelting the files. But after I tried reformatting it, the error appeared and the files on it also! It's as if there's a lock switch inside which the micro sd shouldn't have. What should I do in this case? Is there a program or a file that can unlock it?
Thanks in advance.
This is really irritating. My card doesn't allow me to save or delete anything. Formatting didn't work. I even tried a program to detect a fault on it but nothing shows up. All formatting programs freeze when I start formatting my card. Deleting any file doesn't work as it is restored after resetting my mobile, and finally, no body has faced such a problem. What should I do?
Somehow SD card is read only. I can't take pictures, delete files etc. Astro file manager says "Error deleting file" if I try to delete. Phone reads files but can't modify or delete. Can I remount SD card read-write mode using Terimnal Emulator? It seems that phone can't index files. Usually it took few minutes after reboot, now the phone shows indexin message for a moment and then dissapears.

can the pc read it when mounted on the phone?
is this a brand new sdcard?
try reformatting thru the pc...make sure it's fat32 and not ntfs.
Connected phone to computer and found corrupted folder LazyList on the SD. It was not possible to delete files from this folder. Fixed it with windows command line program chkdsk and removed corrupted files. Now it works fine.
I can't get quick response from the original thread so I decided to seek help in general. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11070039#post11070039
I was trying to install App2sd + DC2SD on my new mini and here are the process that I've done.
Firmware updated, rooted, xRecovery installed, sd card partitioned to FAT32 and ext3, installed .zip file via xRecovery, reboot and...
stuck up at SE logo for quite some time then automatically reboot again then...
finally make it through.
Question: How will I know if i succeeded?
I checked on the settings and it says that I only have 1.32GB on sd memory and 175MB internal memory.
I tried to download an app from the market and got an error message "process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly". Can anyone help me please and answer my queries? Thanks.
Tried re-installing the apk in system/sd/app and reboot. I can now access the market, i think it's ok for now... I hope so.
Does any1 know how to fix this? Please!!!

Unmount the SD, install then re-mount it.
I know about the mounting/unmounting thing, but people have had success by deleting the smdl2tmp1.asec file in the "android_secure" folder on the sd card. I have not been able to find this particular file in that folder (connected phone to pc, and found all other .asec files, but not this one).
Has anyone had any success with this? or are there any other solutions for us besides unmounting?
adb install app.apk worked for me with guerilla bob game
im not sure how to unmount sdcard and install
hope this.helps
For some reason some apps won't update properly.
First go to:
Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications
find the app and tap on the name. Then select the "Move to phone" button
Now hit the back button until you are at the main settings menu and then select SD Card & phone and tap on "Unmount SD Card"
Go back and mount your SD Card (same sub-menu).
Now update your app in the market. You can move it back to the SD Card when you are done updating if you wish.
That may work, except, I have uninstalled those programs (e.g Angry Birds) and reinstalled them from the market (after unmounting my SD card), which works, but now when trying to move them to the SD card, it says that it cannot....
This whole thing is getting rather frustrating, and it seems like there should be a deeper fix for this, instead of the hassle of unmounting, them mounting

You need to contact Google or the app devs then because this issue exists on multiple phones across multiple versions of Android.
Hey folks. I have yet to find an answer to this but everytime I try to install an apk it gives me this:
Parse Error
_____________
There is a problem parsing the package
I am on a rooted atrix with non market apps allowed and have installed a number of apps with no problem.
I dropped the apps onto the sd card and used the following to try and install
astro, rootexplorer(paid), and files with no success as of late
i tried copying the files to the internal memory and still no luck. also rebooted of course with same result.
I tried previous apks that worked fine even just a few days ago and they are doing it too now
I have also tried unmounting the ext sd card and remounting
What am I missing here? Any help with this would be greatly appreciated
