I have a file in my /data/data folder that is causing a ton of problems and will not delete through root explorer. There is something inside the folder keeping if from deleting. When I restart the phone, the renamed file goes back to the original file name. How can I force delete this file?
its /data/data/com.android.browser
TIA.

Ok,
Giving that a try right now. I never even thought to use TWRP for that. Brilliant. so I get to that spot...and as I type its been on a deleting dialog for a couple of moments, but this is what came up when I selected delete:
"Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/data/com.android.browser.
E: Error: Too many open files
Recovery rebooted after about 5 minutes and the file is still there. This file is stubborn. But it has to be the one causing the issues.
BTW, I appreciate your help in this.

And I've started getting the too many files open error when I went to run a Nandroid backup last night. UGGG!!!
Either:
I'm doing something wrong,
I've got an app that is doing bad things to my phone,
or my phone is giving out.
I wonder if I've just flashed too much.

Hey guys, I'm another newbie who F'ed up their phone here to ask for help lol. I tried to do a restore using the system recovery and it froze, I did a batter pull and soft bricked it I guess. I tried doing a sbf, and I couldn't figure it out but my phone just randomly restarted and it seemed like the sbf worked. So I just tried to restore the data only in advanced recovery and I think it is frozen again. Can anyone please explain how to do a proper restore from the bootstrap recovery? Thanks,

Hey there guys I came across this useful tool today when I was poking around the ARC section it lets you make a nandroid without having to boot into recovery. This isnt my work Im simply passing it on so I hope he doesnt care too much about me posting this here.
***ALL crdeit goes to ameer1234567890***
Nandroid backups are usually performed in recovery mode. This means you would have to turn off your phone and reboot in recovery mode, which wastes a whole lot of time rebooting and a lot more time offline. For me, this has been a killer as I do regular nandroid backups. Having to reboot in recovery and finding missed calls, sms from my wife and friends is totally not accepatable for me. So, I set to develop an online nandroid backup tool which can do nandroid backups without switching off my phone.
Today, I am releasing it to public, as it may serve good for some others too. This tool is specifically for Xperia phones, but should work with any model of android phones.
This tool backups /system , /data , /cache & .android_secure partiotions to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory. The date format used for folder name is the same used by CWM itself and nandroid backups created with this tool can safely be restored using CWM. If you would want to have a custom name for backup folder, pass an argument with the name to the script and it will use the name.
Feedback (especially ideas to improve) are most welcome.
Requirements
1. Rooted android phone
2. A terminal emulator installed on phone
3. Busybox
4. A working CWM based recovery installed
5. Some patience
Installation
1. Download and copy zip file to SD card
2. Reboot into recovery
3. Choose install zip from SD card, select zip and flash .
4. Reboot!
Usage
1. Open terminal emulator
2. Type su to obtain root
3. Type onandroid
4. Wait and watch

Isn't this inherently flawed since files on the rom are still being used and written while the backup is taking place? Neat idea though, don't get me wrong

Fair enough. Hopefully people follow the advice of not doing anything during the backup, so they aren't disappointed when the changes don't get backed up

I tried to do a restore from the online nandroid backup I made and even though it said "restore complete" my SD-ext(4) partition would not load its shortcuts and widgets. The funny part is link2sd didn't even detect any SD-ext as if it wasn't backed up. I thought it said that it backed up SD-ext during online backup, but not sure. I'm wondering if it might help to factory restore before restoring backup. I may try that to see and I'll report back if noone reports similar problem.
Edit**During backup I was not doing anything else with phone other then watching the amazing online backup screen. Also I tried to "re-create mount scripts" but never got option from link2sd even after reboot.

This tool (prior to v3) does not backup sd-ext partition. In the first post, you can see what the tool backups.
PS: If you can send me a previous backup of your sd-ext, I can work on adding sd-ext backup support to the script.
I still can't get this to work.

I first noticed that when I went to take pictures that a toast message would popup that said something along the lines of "Unable to save file to sdcard due to insufficient file privaleges". Originally I thought it was the Rom at fault which I will leave nameless beings that its occoring with every Rom I've flashed since as well. But only after switching between the 3 Roma I had saved on my sdcard prior to this incident, I tried to download a newer Rom to see if it was a bug that had been fixed but couldn't download anything to my sdcard. The only time I can download is through the market or via adb push so I know the internal storage isn't broken, but not recieving the correct permissions.
Has anyone else experienced this or have a fix because I don't want to bring the phone back "re-locked" and ask for a replacement. But I also do not want to buy a new phone or go through asurion. Thanks in advance and happy hollidays!

Backup everything from your storage. Go into recovery and format /sdcard. I had the same thing happen. Worked fine after the format and restoring the files.
I'm getting ready to head home so ill do it when I get there. Should I format it in cwmr recovery or through settings just so I make sure I do it the way you did it. Less room for error lol. And thanks a lot I'm really hoping that it helps! I miss having the camera mostly for taking pictures of my 14 month old Son Hambo!

So basically I can't install apk files on my phone. It's a recent issue since I switched over to the newest fj stock mod rom. I download an .apk, I put it on my phone but when I click on it to install it, the option to install it won't respond. I can click cancel. but I can't click install... I can't seem to figure out why it won't do it, and I'm sure it's something stupid that I'm not getting...

assuming you flash roms as a solution, would you have a few backups?
juice defender:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&hl=en
As rquiett mentioned.....put the app into the data/app folder via any good root explorer app, then reboot.
The apk can also be placed into the system/app folder for the same outcome. the major difference here, is the device now sees the apk as a system app, and will not be removable via traditional methods like a user app. It would need removal by the root explorer app that placed it there.
Flashing "the same" build to get an app, is generally not needed, however, I have used this method many times over the years after I removed a system app I needed back.
You can simply flash the "same" rom over the top of the existing rom, and the pre-loaded rom apps are back.
Note: you must wipe the caches after using this method, or data corruption could occur. "cache and dalvik cache"
Long story short:
Root explorer app to place into data/app......or system/app
and if you are feeling adventurous....then flash the "same" base build over the top of your current build, then wipe caches and reboot.
Standard disclaimers apply....g

Did you just come from a 4.1.2 rom? If so use grab a file manager from the market and look under /data/media/.
If you switched to a 4.2 and up rom, you will see /data/media/0(this is your NEW home directory and all your data is hiding in /data/media/.
Simply move everything to /0 and your space will be correct again.
I did a full wipe into 4.3. Will your solution rectify the issue still?
Edit: I deleted the folder because i had no need for anything there. Do i have to Do this everytime i install a 4.2+ rom?

Only if you go back to a 4.1 rom, its a google thing I am not versed enough in, but hopefully it helped you out. You can do some reading up if you so choose. Because 4.2 introduced users, they had to make a change to file structure to support it if I am not mistaken.
Did it fix the issue?
Edit: Which folder did you delete?
Yeah I've noticed it messed where I had to point rom toolbox for backups.
I deleted media folder in data. Rebooted. Reloaded some apps that were affected by it. It seemed to get rid of the files in my 0/Legacy/SD and one more folder, finally freeing up my phone. Thanks for the help!

Hello Sir I'm in the same situation. So all I need to do to get straight is go to data media and delete the media file. Then reboot and I'll be straight.
I'm aware all my pictures and stuff will be gone but that's OK. Will I still have my recovery. If so it would probably be wise to make a nandroid now. Correct. Thank you for any help.
