Fix permissions in recovery causes phone to crash - Optimus One, P500, V General

I ran fix permissions in CWM hoping it would fix Adobe reader's FC.
Now when I boot up, launcher pro goes into a force close loop. Unfortunately I forgot to nandroid before running fix permissions.
I really do not want to reinstall my ROM. I have some invaluable photos on the device.
Running MIK's CM7, with the default ADW launcher removed.
Can anybody please help?

Try with CWM 4.0.1.5

Donno about the permissions but flashing CM7 again without wiping anything should be fine as it doesn't affect the SD card contents. Another method would be to go to recovery>mounts and storage or something like that> and then mount usb. That will help you to copy the contents of your sd card to your pc.
This is assuming you can go to recovery (no reason why you shouldn't be able to) and the photos are in sd card. If the photos are in the internal memory (unlikely though), you can use your pc to do an 'adb pull <path>' to copy from it in the recovery mode.
Hope this helps.

I just restored to an earlier nandroid from 4 days ago. Good thing the photos were on the SD card.
Adobe reader is still force closing though. Any suggestions?

Have you tried uninstalling Adobe Reader and re-installing it again?

Can you post logcat.

[Q] Backups are not showing after flashing rom

So I flashed a new rom after backing up everything through Titanium Backup and Clockwork Recovery. I flashed the rom, but was met with a force close loop. I tried doing a factory reset through recovery mode and that got rid of the loop. But when I installed Titanium Backup, none of the backups were there. Same goes for Nandroid. What's going on?
Did u accidentally format ur sd card? Because tb is pretty reliable

Never had this happen before, but to fix this in the future you should make a backup of the tb folder on your pc...actually you should do your entire internal and external sd anyway!

Reboot and see if they're still there or plug your phone into a pc and try to access the sd card contents. I've had a few instances where TB didn't show me anything on the sd card until i rebooted. Weird but it's worth a shot before you do anything drastic.

Arghh I think this is what I might have done somehow. My sdcard folders did get messed up. I guess I'll have to start from scratch then...

[Q] SD there but not there

So I'm running JT's vanilla Gingerbread. And after a day my SD card is not showing to be inserted thru gallery or if I try to download to. However I can play my music find ringtones on the card view pictures thru other apps and when I go to storage under setting it say card mounted and shows memory. Also something else weird is I can't delete anything from the card. Not really sure what's the problem and could use some advice Thx. (update) So two days now I've realized the problem has nothing to do with the SD card it self, everything is still there and I can do back ups from it as well as export contacts and flash in recovery. The problem seems to be somewhere in the rom. Gallery show a message "Sd unmount or not present" as well as I can't delete anything from the card thru the phone. Root explorer says it's deleted but it's not, every other way I try I get a "file can't be deleted" message. I can view pictures and video thru astro just not thru gallery. So I'm thinking this is not a wiped or fried Sd card issue but something with thew rom, I'll try flashing powerwashed rom and see if the problem continues and update.
If your running anything gingerbread expect your sd card to get wiped, do a backup asap.
Keep me Fascinated.
I am having the same problem

I would try backing up the card, then formatting. Not sure if it will work, but it's something to try.

[Q] Completely Clean Flash?

I'm wondering if anyone can walk me through completely cleaning out my phone before re-flashing Crazy 8. I read somewhere that you can format your internal and external sd cards to really clean things up. I've been having major slow downs and fc's and I want to try this to see if it helps. MY question is, do you format these cards and then go back to stock with ODIN or the other way around? Any tips would be most appreciated.
move critical stuff to pc
format internal/external
power down
odin to jfd
use the update.zip in my noob guide that lets you boot straight to cwr
flash rom
move any critical items back (ie titanium backup folder if you want your apps)

You format each drive through your pc or directly through the phone?

Awesome s15! Thanks so much. I will try this when I get home later. My internet has been down all day at work or I would've thanked you sooner!
Matty: I think you unmount the cards and then format them through the phone but I'll find out more later when I try it out.
You can format your internal/external SD card using either your phone or the computer. However, I think you should better use your phone to avoid any incompatibility issue.

Thank you both. I wasn't sure how to go about it.

Just boot into recovery, select mounts and storage. There is a format SD and format extSD choice. Always make sure you've removed anything critical to your PC first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
YAY! Formatting both SD Cards worked a charm. My phone is very speedy now and not having all the weird random re-boots and FC's! I can't buy anything from the market though, again, this is such a weird problem and I seem to be the only one having it.

[Q] LauncherPro constant force closing

Hey guys. I know this is an old issue but im hoping someone found a way to fix this already. Based on the forum research, the main cause its having the app on the SD card but I did not force the app to the SD card, i made a partition with ROM Manager and moved the apps there with [A2SD]Darktremor 2.7.5.3 Beta 04.
Has anyone found a fix? any ideas?
Thanks

Not sure why its not working from your sd but Try this:
Copy the launcherpro apk to your computer.
Uninstall launcherpro from your phone.
Boot into recovery and mount /system.
Use adb to push the launcherpro apk to /system.
Reboot.
Launcherpro should now be installed to /system instead of your sdcard ext.

Thank you. I think I did that already, Titanium Backup has a "convert to system app" option. I used it on LaunchePro but still happening. Will try your suggestion.

A weird problem with my sd card

Hi xdians,
I'm experiencing such a weird problem with my 8gb SD card I guess.
I download a music with mp3 format and I can listen it, but after 5 minutes I can not listen the music, its not recognizing the music, it can't open the music file.
When I download an apk from web I can install it immediately after the download has finished, but after 5 or more minutes I can't install the apk, it says ,, there is error parsing the package" also the icon from the apk is changed into android icon.
One more problem... when I move an app from internal memory to SD card I can open it and play it, but after 5 minutes or so after closing the app, I can not open it again, it instant force close when I'm opening. Also in settings on Manage Applications the icon on the app that has been moved to SD card is removed.
This are the problems I'm facing, every help/opinion is very apprecied.
Thanks a lot!

First of all, backup apps using Titanium backup. Secondly, Backup any data on your SD card to a computer. Format your SD card, restore data and see if that works.

You can still use apps in internal right?
You might have to replace your SD card.
But first Flash stock firmware.
Did this happen all of a sudden? Or did something happen.

Yes in internal I can use apps without any problem.
All of sudden I guess, I'm using custom miui rom with cm7 kernel.
And how do you mean replace my SD card? Use a new one or unmount>format>mount from stock rom?

He means go for new SD card
See if you had tried all possible methods for recovering like formatting and all so if now no option is left then go for new SD Card
