it'll see...what u did do before your problem..?..maybe corrupted sd card, bad partition, corrupted script app2sd..too many things with your problem

explaination
If I reflash the rom,then I will lose my all apps and games.I want to make backup first ,but no option for such things.
sd card is not corrupted.no partition made,so,no app2sd.I had just moved my installed applications on sd card.

[Q] Flash a custom ROM without SD Card ?

Hi, I was wondering if I can flash a custom ROM into my Galaxy S2 but without SD card
it's already rooted but the problem is that in every tutorial I read here I find that I must copy the zip file of the custom ROM to the SD Card
So if there's anyway to flash this custom ROM without the SD card it would be great
Thanks.
Any tutorial you're following is probably using sdcard to mean internal storage. There's no requirement for a physical, external micro sd card.
So if I followed the tutorial and copied the zip file to the internal storage will it be okay or what ? (excuse me but I'm new to this and kinda lost)
You can link a tutorial to be sure, but unless you're formatting the internal storage (/sdcard), there's no reason it won't work. I've not seen a tutorial requiring the format of /sdcard.
yes, it will work fine.
read and reread the instructions until you are comfortable with them.

should not be a problem, just boot into standard recovery mode and flash the zip from your internal memory
As said CWM installs from SD card internal not external add on sd card .

Okay, this tutorial requires a separate SD Card and said the internal memory will not work

Author doesn't know what he's talking about. Use the MIUI site for support and installation instructions. Just because someone wrote instructions on a blog doesn't make them fact.
Thats MIUI and its BETA WARNING!!! USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!
i would not know what instructions another forum uses .

Download your MIUI rom from the official english website
http://miuiandroid.com/
Connect your phone to PC and copy the zip file to your phone ( since you don't have an SD card you can't copy anywhere else anyway ).
Reboot to ClockworkMod Recovery and do a wipe data, wipe cache.
Go to advanced , wipe Dalvik cache , wipe battery stats.
Go back and choose install from zip from sd card , then choose "choose zip from sd card" , select your zip , confirm it once more and you're done. After its finished select reboot.
Okay thanks guys you're all awesome, I did it and its intalled just fine
I've took a backup using CWM, but now can I restore my contacts or apps ?

Apps you can only restore if you backed them up with titanium backup before flashing. Contacts, well... You should have those on your SIM card, or Google account if you used sync.

[Help] All camera apps say SD protected, can't save!

I've installed other camera apps after I get the problem with the stock app, but they all complain about the SD card not being writable! I'm guessing some file may be missing and causing the problem!?

I don't think it's the sd card problem, other apps have access fine.

yes, I'm glad he answered, but i'm looking for an easy way out, cause backing up 30G of data from a slow sd card is pain. But then I can format a smaller one just to see what files are missing!

[Q] 3 problems with applications

Hi,
I have 3 problems related to applications for which I can't find solution.
1st is that after removing/uninstalling applications and then restarting phone at some point for whatever reason there are visible remnants of them. (screenshot attached)
I am able to uninstall them again, but after another restart they are back. So how to get rid of them for good?
2nd problem is that certain applications seems to uninstall/delete themselves upon phone reboot. It seems its related to SD card where they put themselves during install. I have tried to move majority of apps back to phone, but seems only some of them are affected by this. There are apps which are installed/moved to SD and they work fine even after restart, so don't know. Maybe some of them are not working after moving to SD? Although for some its strange because they install itself to SD without me moving them.
3rd problem appeared today. Yesterday I have updated to ICS via Kies and installed 5 updates from Market. Today after restart the same apps were back to previous versions and Market offered me the same updates for the same apps. Whats the problem with this?
Thx for your help
Reads as possible corruption of SD card .
Check Lost File folders .
jje
And how do I do it? What folders? LOST.DIR?
Or to put to computer and run chkdsk to check lost files?
wen u some times move apps to sd an wen a aoto update takes place so wen rebooted then either appear as shown in screen shot,cause get deleted an flashing roms then restoring from titanium also gives some app prblm....the best way is format ur ext card on pc .....and if u want to clean all crap which u don want(lost.dir)is a folder were chunks r stored...but coming to point if u want to clean all mess go in recovery an formatt sd card,format system,emmc all ,,an reboot an ur stuck on sammy logo means u hav nothing on phone ,so go in download mode an flash stock via odin.....imp backup ur efs b4 any thing

I THINK what he's suggesting is that when you have apps installed to your sd card, then an update occurs, then if there are differences in how partitioning works between your old OS version and your new OS version, you may lose some apps.

Then there's a bunch of unintelligible gibberish... Seems to be suggesting that restoring apps using Titanium backup can cause issues, and suggests formatting the external SD card on your PC instead of in your phone.

And if you're stuck after a reboot after you do all that, then flash a stock firmware via odin.

Back up your /efs folder before you do anything. (which I agree with wholeheartedly)
I think I translated that correctly.
Thanks for your translation mate although I am not sure if he said anything what can help me except deleting and formatting all which is really something what I would like to avoid for now.
LOST.DIR is empty on both internal and external SD card.
Also the problem with remnants was happening before I upgraded to ICS, do I don't think its related to partitioning at all.

Last time I had this issue, it was on my Moto Milestone where I had app2sd running, and my SD card was becoming corrupted. I had to format my SD card and re-install the affected apps.
Hmm, I am not using any external app like app2sd, just the option which is offering Android itself. You were formatting internal or external one?

I was describing my condition on one of my old phones. (An old Motorola Milestone, which did not have an internal SD) Not an I9100.
If you are using the default app2sd in Android, then you'll want to format internal. But back up all your files (music, pictures, whatever else) before you do, obviously.
I see. Yeah I was planning to do backup of course, but if I copy back all after format won't be back also the problem?
Lost dir from me was to check for corruption as thats where corrupt sd card files go.
Copy backup to PC just in case .

hey pal before trying 2 delete any app please ensure that u have cleard the data and cache of the same since they do pose a problem later also manually delete all those app folders on ur sdcard after deleting the apps

It shouldn't matter...
But my advice is to go through your installed apps and make a list of all apps that are marked as installed to your SD. Then uninstall all of the ones that are. Then back up your internal SD, and do your format of internal SD.
DO NOT copy back the .android_secure folder after you format. This is the folder that Android uses for it's built-in app2sd. (so it will get created again automatically later)
That means you'll have to re-install all of the apps you made a list of above, but it SHOULD help alleviate your problem.

The condition he describes is that the app is no longer being registered as installed. So I don't think he'll be able to do this.
Thanks mate, I am now making backup of internal SD card before formatting although there is no .android_secure folder. There is one on external SD card, but its empty. Anyway will try the format after all the data are copied.
So backup done, formatted card, copied all back, restarted phone and the remnants are still there

Hmm.. you may not have a choice but to do a factory reset/full wipe to get rid of 'em. Sorry dude.
Thats not what I wanted to hear. Should I go for factory reset available directly from Android or should I boot to recovery and go with factory reset/wipe data or wipe cache?

Either one should be fine.
FYI, you can back up most stuff you have and restore using various methods, so you can get back to your current state... it will just take a bit of effort.
And which would you recommend? I have Titanium Backup Pro to use or is there easier way?

No... It wouldn't affect the custom ROM and the system root(apart from the themes on MIUI)
but the apps saved on sd card won't open...

backup the entire sd card on PC first. now format ur SD card. Restore android_secure and Android folder ( i think there are some necessary files inside this for the ROM even though im not so sure )
now try restarting. if the ROM isnt rebooting Restore all from backup in pc into the rom and then restart again.
I would advise u have a card reader before u try this method.
Cheers :highfive:

oh. New things ! haha. btw, thanks 4 the info. i'll try it tonight.
how about do a cwm back-up, then a titanium back-up, then copy the clockworkmod folder and the titaniumbackup folder to you computer, then format your SD card, then copy the clockworkmod and titaniumbackup folders from computer to the newly formatted SD card, then perform a restore on both cwm and titanium?
I havent tried this yet though...

[Q] SD takes 10 mins to mount?

Yesterday, after having no problems at all with my SD card, I rebooted my phone and it took 10 mins to mount. It's been taking just as long since then.
As 90% of my apps and everything else is on my SD card, this is a problem.
Could it be a problem with my SD card or something else?
Thanks.
If you didn't unmount the sdcard correctly the next time you boot your phone a file system check is done and this may take some time, especially when you have a big / slow card. If you think your card has some problems try to mount it on a pc and do a file system check manually.

Just backup all the data(copy and paste everything into a computer) and format the memory card to remove any faulty blocks, then restore data.
Worked once for my trusty old Galaxy Y.

I've never taken the SD card out of my phone and it happens every time I turn on my phone. I will try a manual check if formatting it doesn't work

It half worked. It's much faster now but it still seems a bit dodgy when my SD card is loading so I think I'm just going to get a new one.
Thanks
