hey there
i installed CheckRom V6 on my S2.
I use Titanium Backup to backup and restore all my stuff.
I also use the "minidiary" app from samsung. TitaniumBackup just backed up the Database - for any reason I dont know.
So i tried to manually install minidiary.apk. That does not work, after the installation android just says "application was not installed".
So i tried it manually; I mounted the /system/app folder, to make it readable (using total commander) and pasted the minidiary.apk there. Then a reboot. ( i thought android might have to scan and add the shortcut to my appdrawer after a reboot)
nothing. Anyone has an idea, how i can get back the mini diary app?
thanks in advance
n.
My idea is that u posted in the wrong section
hm. think so? Thought its maybe a checkrom-related problem. If not, would be great if a mod can move the fred.

Well even if it is why are you creating a topic instead or replying to the actual roms thread? If you look at topics in this section for a few seconds, does it look like your topic in any reality belongs here?
This section is for developments not for random help posts, questions, requests, etc, if you want to create a topic do it in correct section.
Alrighty, so I rooted using the Indirect method and I have tried unsuccessfully for a long time to unroot it. I have come to terms with the fact that I can't unroot it.
My biggest issue that I need help with is uninstalling/installing apps. Uninstalling apps removes them from the app tray, but only until the device is rebooted. Nothing STAYS uninstalled. Same with installing apps. It installs and runs while the device is on, but as soon as it reboots, the app is gone.
Anybody got any ideas?
wipe it clean and start over.

...yeah, as I said, I've tried everything multiple times and I can't "wipe it clean." I've accepted that fact. I just want to know how to fix the app issue.

I already went through all that on another thread months ago. Nobody could fix my problem. The only thing I need help with now is my app problem and I've already described that

I don't flame noobs as I am one, but question. Why did you post this question if you wouldn't accept help and no one can help?
The suggestion you were given is proper if you have a 16gb NT that came as 1.4.0. It will work if you are able to complete the task properly. It formats appropriate partitions and then rewrites them with zeros then places 1.4.0 recovery and reboots recovery. It does work; for me at least. I have used numerous times.
I keep an sdcard with this and another with cwm boot ready at all times as I tend to try new things regularly.

I'm asking for help on my app problem. I'm not flaming anyone. I'm just saying that I already asked for help a month ago on how to unroot my NT and, while lavero.burgos was very helpful, it was never solved, even trying the several ways to unroot she and others suggested. I'm not looking for help on how to unroot/reroot. I've tried the Adam Outler post and it doesn't work on my NT. It won't boot into CWM. And I can't use ADB. (see here for my original post on unrooting)
As I've said, I accept that I cannot unroot my device for whatever reason. I just need help with my app problem. I even installed Titanium and uninstalled the unwanted apps. Rebooted and they all came back. My NT is like 10-Second-Tom from 50 First Dates, I swear lol
Also, side note, I'm pretty sure the reason the acclaim update doesn't work is because my NT doesn't have the B&N firmware on it anymore. I brought my NT to B&N and the guy tried resetting it for a while and he couldn't get it to reset. He said it was because there wasn't any B&N firmware left.
Don't have a NT, but planning on getting one.
However major post-root tool is this: http://roc-city.com/android/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk
Does that help? Make sure you backup any apk before you delete them - if you mess up, then you can always restore the apk.
I will have to try when I get home tonight. I'll let you know, thanks.
Like I said, it was rooted using the Indirect method. So it was reset to 1.4.0 before rooting. It now reads as 9.9.9. It's a 16g.
OK, sorry...haven't been able to get to trying out the suggestion.
When I do the Adam Outlet Ubuntu method, it just reboots a bunch of times (almost like 8 failed boots) and then boots up like normal. No Ubuntu, nothing. Just boots up like there's no SD card in.
Next suggestion?

Anybody?

Yes, it didn't fix anything. Everything uninstalled until I rebooted and then they were all back and the SDX Removal tool was no longer installed. Same thing with Titanium backup.
Can you save any file into internal memory?

No. I saved a text file named "test" to the internal memory under documents. It showed there until I unplugged the NT from my computer and then I couldn't find it manually on my NT. Plugged it back in, went to the documents folder and it was gone.
It seems that you have the same problem http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1606444

I think this is going to be more than you want to do, but I used this method last night on two 9.9.9.9 rooted NT 16g to repartition internal card and start from scratch. This is the easiest method I have found. Worth a shot for you.

I have same problem with xoxomissashlee. I have read this thread, but can it solve ?
I can't solve this problem(yet). It can be some kind of software lock or bad memory chip. My NT is booting from sdcard now.
I have a question about Moboot. How do you change the boot options? I had installed a version of AOKP and a version of CM on top of eachother (wiping and then installing) and the old ROM I was running is still there. Is there a way to delete some of the moboot options?

Thanks for the awesome, helpful response.
I did do a couple of quick searches on XDA and through Google but couldn't find what I needed. I figured somebody here knew off the top of their head what to do.
If you have Root Explorer, or some other root-level explorer, load it up and browse to /boot. Mount it as read-write, and find the file uImage.<whatever you wanna delete> and delete it. Don't delete any other files. You wanna keep the following:
uImage.Clockworkmod (that's CWM / TWRM Recovery)
uImage.webOS
uImage.CyanogenMod (that's the CM install)
If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM. Unlike the useless known as cdzo up there, I actually do like to help people.
Classic nerd has a flashable zip called moboot cleaner here's a link: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/26003-cm9-to-classicnerd-discussion/
If there is a problem posting a link to another forum I will remove it. Also if you want to change the main OS at start up or increase time download cyboot on webOS.

Run this from recovery: http://classictomatoe.net/classicnerd.net/Betas/update-remove-tga_uImages.zip
That's a script from classicnerd. After you run that, re flash the rom without wiping anything to get the correct entries back into moboot.

I'm trying to set up my girlfriends S3, but I have an issue.
When on stock rom, I can see the titanium backup folder with all the backups. In fact all the folders are there, SMS backups, images etc.
Since going to Cm10.1, the folders are gone. I used droid explorer to see if I've missed it. I made a folder in Cm10 called tester.
It appears 3 times now. And I have no idea where all my other files are. It's like it's blank.
But, if I restore back to stock, it's all there. Annoying.
I only installed 1 custom ROM. From what I know, you have to wipe your phone completely before the flashing process. I have smooth ROM installed on my nexus 7, works perfectly!
So I THINK if you want to install a custom ROM the right way, you have to wipe anyway..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
The thing is, this worked before. I had a slight problem finding the files, but I have installed CM before on this, and never had this issue.
I could copy the files to my PC, wipe the phone and copy them back, but if I have to restore to the stock backup I made, it's going to break a lot of things surely?

It worked great. But there is one issue. Titanium backup works great, but if I connect my phone to PC, the storage is the blank set of folders. Gallery cannot find any pictures either. I've followed the instructions to the letter.
If I open File Manager, it shows me the 0 directory full of my files as it should, but on my PC or in the gallery it finds nothing but empty folders.
Try wiping data on the gallery app, in case something was restored from titanium perhaps.
I don't connect to a Windows PC regularly myself, so I'm not sure about that one. Have you rebooted since?

Wiping gallery data did the trick, thanks. Not sure why connecting to the pc shows empty folders.
It means I Can't save my camera photos, or add new roms to install in the future. Most puzzling.
Have you rebooted?
Infact reboot the PC too, whilst not connected to each other.
Sorry, yes I have. In fact, going into recovery after following the instructions and my backups are no there. Or rather "no files found". Using CWM Recovery v6. I've also lost my sms backup files. I can't even go back to stock if I wanted to.

As per my other thread, some recoveries still use the old location /data/media (which is really poor from those recoveries). To be clear, this is the recoveries fault for not keeping up with the times.
If you needed to restore from one of those recoveries, you would need to move the clockworkmod folder back. Or you could flash Philz recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002953
...which has a toggle to change to /data/media/0 to pick up 4.2 locations.
So to be clear, you have not lost anything. Everything is there. I don't know what sms backup app you have, but everything should just work. The apps all look for /sdcard (so they don't need to know if it is /data/media or /data/media/0) so as long as your data is in the right place, there shouldn't be an issue.
Some of these issues you're having (forgetting recovery) could be a result of a titanium backup restore. Perhaps you need to wipe the device from recovery and get things working without data that could be skewing the truth
Hello everyone hope you are all good.
Please could someone help me out? Yes im a noob I like to tinker with my phones but im a little stuck. I recently went and updated my phone to 4.2.2 but didnt like the way it set the file system up. eg emulating sd cards for multi user's and also the fact it changed the internal storage from sdcard to sdcard0.
Ok heres the problem I didnt make any sort of backup before the update (yes I know im stupid) . All I want to do is get the phones file system back to the way it was on 4.1.2 eg no emulated sd and the internal storage to be sdcard.
I've since gone back to stock 4.1.2 via Odin after using megawipe via the cwm recovery.
But this didnt fix it :crying: .
If anyone can help me out with this it would be greatly appreciated.
Sorry if ileft out anything you need to know but new to this never had to ask for help
use search, there's an exact same thread from a couple of days ago
you could use Root explorer to get your files back but seems you screwed up the phone :/

what didn't it fix?
After restoring to 4.1.2 it didnt fix the file system setup my internal storage is still called sdcard0, and instead of the normal path its storage/sdcsrd0 ??
how does that matter?

Read the basic faqs and guides first .

Matters to me cos when I download and install an app I like to know where its going and the ability to move them to my external sdcard if need be.
Its down to personal taste at the end of the day... I didnt like 4.2.2 cos of the whole multi user mess. I thought that by joining here someone might be able to point me in the right direction . What controls the way the files and folders are sorted out.?
you are not able to move your files to external SD? you never mentioned it
Ive since gone back to 4.1.2 stock, still not able to move apps to the external sd cos after flashing 4.2.2 it messed up the file system. Even aftet flashing back its still the same

Was moving apps to external sd via GL to SD app. Was all working fine until flashing 4.2.2 which decided it would change where it put files and apps.
I used CWM recovery to use megawipe then odin to put 4.1.2 stock back on .
If anyone has a guide to megawipe then reflash without odin please let me know.
Atm im on 4.1.2 unrooted. :banghead:

in the same boat, I noticed my sdcard sppears wiped but isnt wiped. I hope people saying search etc. are not deliberatly witholding the answer because that isnt nice.
if the same question was asked 2 days ago in the same way why does this thread appear on google but the other doesnt.
I did this whilst connected to adb (with it booted in recovery)
Code:
adb shell
cd /data/media/0
mv * ../
cd ..
rm -rf 0
Also tho I had to remove duplicate folders from the /data/media first or the mv will fail. I am surprised no function has been added to recovery apps yet for this. Or maybe they think noone will ever downgrade from 4.2 (I think 4.2 is a bad version of android).

The people saying search generally are aware of the answer. In regards to /data/media/0, I wrote a thread on it and its in general in "sticky roll-up thread" which everyone is expected to read.
However it has since been determined that the OP's problem is completely different.
OP reports storage/sdcard0 which has in itself nothing to do with 4.2. All aosp roms use storage/sdcard0 for internal and storage/sdcard1 for external. Unless the OP Missed a / and means storage/sdcard/0 which is something all together different. Its a tricky one. Its hard to resolve without seeing it
