we must have been posting at the same time but these all still sound like what i mentioned in my above post. Your apps are back with nonsensikal because they probably weren't installed on sd when you made the nand for that rom.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
lol posting at same time again...you are probably typing right now...try rebooting the phone also after the setting has been changed....for some reason froyo depends too much in my opinion on the sd card and really can cause issues with it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
quick question. what format should my micro sd card be in? i know i formatted it right around the time i got it, to FAT32. im assuming thats correct but i would like to double check. google isnt answering my question fast enough..
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
still no progress.

i wiped everything, flashed a new nonsensikal 16.1. apps didnt automatically come back. i can not install or uninstall apps on the phone. they all hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.

how could this have happened? how can i fix it? i will gladly do a more thorough wipe. i wiped data and davlick. what else could i do to completely reset my phone to fix this problem? that is assuming that there is no other ideas of options.. i hope there is!

edit: in regards to previous ideas, i reformatted my sd card (FAT32) and replaced all the files.
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
You could try the flashback 21 file here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026

That should take you back to stock and replace your custom recovery with the default one. You could then re-root. I don't know if that's what you want, but that would be about as complete of a reset as you could get as far as I know.

Does anyone else know if this is the best option? I would hate to mislead...
[Droid Eris Android Development] dbnaruto:
I had a problem similar to this after I dropped my phone. I could not install any apps (market or .apk) and reading of my SD card was spotty at best. What fixed it for me was first deleting the .android-secure folder on the sd card. [NOTE!: this may delete some/all apps/app data you have so I hope you have a backup]. I have no idea why but the .android-secure was not happy at all ;] I believe you have to delete it on a computer because android file managers just can't do it.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Did you put all your files back on your sd card after reformatting it? I would try reformatting the card and then see if it works before you put your files back on. Like the previous poster said the android_secure folder could be messed up and if your copying it back could still cause issues.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
There is a link talking about doing this on the op of my floyo rom thread
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
well that android_secure thing seems to have been the problem! thank you guys very much! i just deleted it and rebooted and i am now able to install and uninstall apps, both from the sd card and market.

it got to the point where i couldnt connect via usb unless i was in recovery so things were getting pretty frustrating. im glad its over. any guesses what might have caused this craziness?
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Google is adding more support for "corporate phones" in Android - lockdowns by the IT police. I suppose that if that functionality intersects with app storage on the SD, a problem with the state on the SD card could cause exactly the symptoms you had.

I foresee lots of ROM-flippers having problems of this nature in the future - especially if Google decides that the market should "remember" where you installed an app - you could get screwed by something you did three ROMs ago.

I conclude that it is simply a bad idea to ever stuff apps or other app settings onto the SD card - apps2sd, Froyo+ apps on SD, cache2sd, whatever - unless ROM flippers make it a habit of wiping their SD card every time they flash a new ROM.

Something for the devs to keep in mind (as Tazz did) - there will probably be plenty of folks posting "your ROM doesn't work!" threads when the dev is blameless.

bftb0

PS - mnf: I'm glad you got the problem worked out. I just reread my post, and it might read like I was busting on you, which was certainly not my intent. If anything, I'm glad that you let us know what the nature of the problem was, and what fixed it - that's how we all learn and get more clever at this stuff. (One of my pet peeves is when folks come on here asking for help, and then - after receiving several suggestions - respond with "never mind, I figured it out" ... or worse, someone gives them a fix, and they don't even bother to reply with "hey, that worked")
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
dont worry i didnt take it the wrong way. i think sharing of knowledge is priceless. im very glad for the help and glad i could share possibly useful information with others :)
[Droid Eris Android Development] lp4261:
Could these issues contribute to sd cards becoming damaged? I was changing roms very regularly for about a month and then had to wipe my sd card because it said it was damaged. after the wipe my card worked like a champ again. Just wondering....
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
There's physical damage and then there's software "damage".

Physical damage can further be divided into (a) mechanical damage, such as might be caused by hastily ejecting/inserting a SD card and tweaking it, versus (b) wear-out mechanisms from too many write cycles. A block of flash memory generally wears out after it has been written somewhere between 100,000 and 1 Million write cycles - the only way that you would be writing to the card that much is if you did something silly like put a swap partition on it (a process which continuously writes to it when the phone is on), and even then it would take some time to wear it out. For a SD card that is less than five or six years old, I would hazard a guess that mechanical damage is a much greater risk than wear-out damage from too many write cycles.

Software damage can happen if the FAT32 filesystem somehow gets corrupted - this might happen if the phone was writing something to the SD card and the power got interrupted (e.g. battery pull) or the kernel crashed at the same time that a write was taking place. FAT32 has a little bit of redundancy, but it is not as fault-tolerant as more modern file systems, so things like kernel panics or live battery pulls could do something like that.

Layered on top of the filesystem is whatever formatting and internal structure that Android uses for is various subsystems that store data on the SD card - like Froyo's "secure" application storage. In that case, there are a probably a lot of different ways, including software bugs, that the information present could be "damaged" in a way that the software that depends on it will no longer function correctly.

Probably in your case the trouble was with the SD cards' FAT32 filesystem tables (if the phone was complaining about the SD card during boot-up) - the physical media itself was probably fine. The only way to know for sure would be to format the SD card using Windows or some other tool that (a) does a low-leve format, and (b) reports to you whether or not it marked any "bad sectors". (The Android version of FAT32 format sort of hides that information from you)

Flash memory that is going bad due to write wear-out usually goes bad slowly - if there is mechanical or electrical damage, usually the whole thing will go at once (or huge chunks of it).

The only way to avoid software corruption is to try and cleanly shut down your phone whenever possible (avoid battery pulls).

hope that helps

The one thing that I really like about you bftb0 is that you always have very in-depth, informative answers to my questions. Thanks for being willing to help me out.
[Droid Eris Android Development] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Lament: it's too bad there's not a happier medium between a file system for the Android SD card and being able to be easily mounted under Windows. To my understanding through Google, the only reason for Android to use FAT32 is for this reason. Something with a lot more software fault tolerance would make me feel better. I blame Windows. :)

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorc2:
Hello,

I want to unlock my phone because it is network locked.

I have the IMEI and the IMSI num, my phone is developper unlocked.

I will do because in France, there is a new law which permit to change operator without revocation fees due to a taxes increasing on the mobile bill.

But to have the unlock code free, you must wait 6 month, and the law is suitable only for 4 months.

I think that the unlock code is in the registry or you can revoke the lock by writing the registry.

Thanks.

Ps: which law you are talking about? Loi Chatel?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorc2:
[I can't put any URL]

There is lots of article in Google with those keywords : "Augmentation TVA Mobile"

In fact, the global taxes (called TVA) for mobile will grow 5.5% to 19.6% in February (the first).

So the government has decided to permit to leave freely your operator to choose another without pay any revocation fee.

We can benefit of this favor for 4 month, but I bought my Phone in December.

So I can change operator but I must pay to unlock it by the operator.

I already tested your solution but it's doesn't work because we must buy a 250$ box in addition of this software is detected as a virus.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martani:
Thank you, I received a letter from SFR too, but didn't pay attention to it :(

It seems you can even end your "contrat". But it seems we have no choice anyways, because with another operator, we are going to pay 19.6% TVA anyways!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] victorc2:
But it's an argument to reduce the bill when you call revocation service.

If your phone is unlocked you can go out and I'm pretty sure that there will have a price war to grab clients of other operator.

I haven't received the letter for the moment (SFR too).

Ok, so the man asked for a solution to unlock his phone, and you all started talking about VAT and taxes in France...is this the way to help someone?

Ok if you want to unlock your phone, I have not found a free solution yet but for a cheap paid solution you can go to xtcclip . com website. The tool is simple and costs around 21 pounds (in euros is less). This is a fair solution as you can unlock an unlimited number of phones with that stuff.

I have flashed via Odin from a lagfixed rom to true stock 2.1 with NO issues. I would suggest trying the true stock, heres a link to a mirror I uploaded. http://www.mediafire.com/?8kw71bx06an0vwg

The file you downloaded could have been broken somehow too, I know someone suggested re-downloading it. Try that again Or the true stock 2.1, Works for me every single time. Make sure to double check your selections too,

Pda

Re-partition

Good luck OP.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeryCoolAlan:
Yea go to eugenes website somewhere in the dev section and download the froyo that doesn't brick

No pit

Flash pda

After that you'll get an error in recovery

Take out battery

Flash jfd

Should work but beware it will wipe entire internal sd so backup

Tried with your files, no dice. Appreciate the help though
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oklahomatulsa:
You can Thank me later

all thanks goes to jumaaneface

step 1: load up ODIN

step 2: select the pit file that you have already

step 2: select eugenes froyo.tar as the pda selection

step 3. turn off phone and take battery completely out

step 4: plug usb cable into phone and computer (battery must still be out)

step 5: push and hold both vol +/- keys and insert battery.

Step 6: if done correctly, you should know be in download mode (yellow triangle, actually says downloading lol) if not repeat steps 3-5 until successful then continue to step 7 (one of the com windows should light up displaying com:4 for example but could be any number..

Step 7: select repartition, auto reboot, and f. reset time. NOTHING ELSE.

step 8: click start.

Step 9: assuming that it doesnt hang anywhere, the blue progress bar should slowly continue to move until finish and phone boots into recovery (probably gonna through an error. doesnt matter)

Step 10: battery pull

Step 11: repeat steps 4 and 5 now

Step 12: this time select same pit file

step 13: for the pda file select ...uvjdf.tar (the one you originally tried to flash that landed you in this situation).

step 14: uncheck repartition this time. (only f. reset time and auto reboot should be selected)

step 15: click start.

Step 16: if it hangs, repeat steps 10-15.

step 17:it will reboot into recovery. then select reboot phone now.

step 18: assuming that all was done correctly, you should have your phone back exactly how it was the day you bought it, minus the sims3(sacrifices)
