Problem with Market, Browser and GMail on JF RC9

Hi folks.
i just flashed my g1 from jf 1.43h to jf rc9 but i can't get the market running.
when i start it, it either closes immediately or tries to load the license agreement and then closes before i can press anything.
i went 1.43 - wipe - rc9 - rc9(bcs someone mentioned that he solved the latitude problem with installing again) - wipe.
any suggestions?
greetings,
hg
edit:
can't open the browser either, wth is wrong there?

don't have any problems with rc9 JF. Must be something else

I got this as well, a little digging with logcat told me what was wrong for me
1. I still had my 1gb "for flashing only" micro sd in and had moved my market to the now-removed 16gb micro sd
2. The sqlite db was corrupt, deleting my app cache (which took a while because it was huge) got the market app up and running again
However I'm not seeing paid apps at all

Don't have any of those problems, but as with the poster above I cannot see any of the paid apps. Shame

logcat just says that the process has died, is there anything specific i could look for?
regarding 2., do you mean "delete data" in the application menu?
if so, didn't help :/
and i found out that i can't read/write emails, i can open googlemail and see my emails but when i try to open one or write a new one, i see the googlemail screen again. that makes 3 of the most important programs not working, market, browser and gmail..

I went into the cache directory as root and did "rm *"
pervious to your upgrade had you moved your app caches? because it really sounds like that is the problem

tried that, gives me a "lost+found is not empty".
cd'ed in, rm *, cd .., rm -rf lost+found, "l+f is not empty"...
and no, i never moved my app cache :/
update:
wiped, flashed rc8(browser/market working fine), flashed rc9, tried - not working, wiped, tried - not working..

did a little logcat > logcat.txt, complete version(minus my email adress) is here:
http://cxg.de/?id=uctysaTAVLWvzZm
interesting parts(where i started the browser and market) are here:
http://cxg.de/?id=HsZfwJrIChScMNl
this is so frustrating, i have no idea what i've done wrong or what i can do to fix it
edit:
damn, sorry for the bump, wanted to do an edit.. it's getting late

Help! Me Too, I was on Cyan and switched to Super D, and somewhere along the way I lost Browser and Market, FC all the time, whether I switch back to either, and flashed spl and radio again, wiping over and over. Is there a way to re-install these or revert the phone to stock from here? Everything else works fine, so it sucks that I have no browser.

braaainsssssssssss

Dude, do you even know what RC9 or who JF is?

dude - why the hell would you resurect a dead thread? one that died in peace 11 months ago
u sure you are wiping in the right order?
wipe the dalvik cache (or just reformat the ext partition), flash HTC 1.6, wipe, flash CM

Thread closed....so not to be resurrected again

nice- can't wait to see what JF can do with this!! i noticed there is a built in pdf reader too...

0_o
ooooo...I'm excited for this, what the outcome will be.
^-^

PDF Reader?
Interesting, there seems to be a PDF reader in there, and an FTP client. Did you install these on your phone, or were they supplied with it? It'd certainly be nice to have pdf capability in the new cupcake update for the G1...

We may get a taste of cupcake early depending on what JF does with this.

NOTE:I'm tired as crap cause I stayed up for 48 hours but I'm so happy cause of this. Excuse my errors.
I'm gonna be the risk taker here and try to apply this on a G1. I should be able to use my backup from nandroid if anything happens. So all this is the system "partion" as fastboot seems to describe it as? So basicly I have to mount system via recovery and replace it?

This was all in it.

I may get this to work by making it into an img file(nandroid backup file)...How would I do that....on Windows 7?
EDIT: IDEA! Install the latest cupcake build from andblogs.net and try installing all of this stuff manulaly

Could you just copy say, the PDFReader.apk onto your sdcard and install it from there? Or drop the apk into an update.zip?

I tried to install the PDFreader but it fails due to missing libraries. How do I load this firmware into the emulator so I can mess arround with that one instead?

Crazy idea. Take the latest JFrc33 update and overwrite any file in the update with the magic system files...should atleast boot

Lots of HTC stuff

Yeah, to be more precise it's missing all the HTC framework stuff. Doubt you would get away with just adding that stuff to your install:
Package com.htc.pdfreader requires unavailable shared library com.htc.framework; ignoring!

Somebody should change the subject to HTC Magic System Folder.
Then more people would go to the thread.

pdf reader, etc
hmm, i tried copying the frameworks into system/framework and then installing the .apk file, but that didn't seem to work. Do additional frameworks need to be registered, i wonder?

Changed to HTC Sapphire/Vodafone Magic
Cause officialy it's from the HTC not Vodafone.

Tried my update idea...boots to recovery...atleast it boots now.

HTC Framework stuff

Yup. See the bottom of /system/etc/permissions.xml
Thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if the android build this thing expects is newer than your current one, with assorted changes in the API, and if the HTC framework stuff depends on more HTC stuff lower down the stack (I notice there's a "libhtc_ril.so" for instance in /system/lib - not looked into what exactly it contains tho).
As a result it'll probably take a bit more than just dropping things into your current installation. That said, I'd love to play around a bit more if I weren't at work

Stop update your phone using these file. These file is made for Magic, not Dream. It has driver file for Magic, not Dream. Wait for JF and stop doing stupid things.

Tried many "fixes" and still in boot loop.

I've been stuck in a boot loop on one of my G-Tabs for about 4 days now. Been trying every fix I can find to no avail so far. I have the Viewsonic to G-Tablet boot loop. I keep noticing people reffering to using NVFlash with the Img9 fix to add in ClockWord mod. Many said to do that flash then to wipe the data, which is where the problem lies. I get this error everytime I try:

Repartition 2048 and 0.

Hello KJ and thanks for replying, I have seen you offer help to alot of people so thanks for dropping by here too.
I have tried that as well and it hasn't done anything. I don't know if it is the order in which I am doing things or what on this tab. My other one works like a dream but it was done before the 4539 (I think that's right) update came out.
I have done the NV Flash and added CWM via Ext SD and then partitioned and that was a no go. I also tried doing Roebeet's example of doing NVFlash and changing te Img9 file as well with a repart and that didn't work either.
I also tried this "fix" and even it didn't work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=974422
I'm not giving up because from all I am reading, these things seem immpossible to fully brick. I also feel pretty safe to say that it is my fault and that maybe I don't have the correct order for doing the entire process but I have tried until I turned blue in the face before giving up and going to bed.

Well... what your tablet is having trouble mounting is the partitions that you should be creating with the repartitioning. /dev/blk/mmcblk3 is the internal memory. Are you familiar with ADB?

No not at all. I googled during this and saw Android Debug Manager. Something with that I should try? I definitely don't claim to be the smartest guy on the block but at the same time I pick up this stuff well and am not really scared to try something if you have an idea.

Congrats, man. I think you're the first to truly brick his gtab.

Unfortunately, I'm not a good enough teacher (I lack the proper patience) to get someone going with ADB from scratch. Especially since my development environment is somewhat unusual so I often have no frame of reference to assist in setting up the tools. So, if you're up to it, you need to do one of two things. Either get ADB installed and running on your computer or get a rooted ROM and a terminal emulator on the device that we need to work on.
Your situation is somewhat different from the others in that you can actually get CWM installed and get into recovery. I still think that perhaps some combination of partitioning, data wipe and fix permissions should be working for you. What I would do in your case is:
1) Data wipe one more time (perhaps use: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1030915)
2) Reboot into CWM recovery and repartition
3) nvflash the stock ROM again (without CWM)
4) Factory reset from the ROM settings
If that fails then research setting up ADB for your computer and we'll discuss some diagnostics you can run from that.

Thanks KJ, I will try those when I get home this evening.

Missing Space?? (partly link2sd related)

I don't understand this.

(IMG tag doesn't seem to work so see this link instead) https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-...9bQ3HKvY/s800/possible%20Android%20bug-01.png
If you look at the image above, my sgy-data (fat32) partition totals 843.8MB but the system reports 928.4MB used. Where did the 84.6MB go? Now that's ignorable…
But for my sgy-ext (ext3) partition that is linkd with link2sd, the total size of all the files is 246.7MB but the system reports 686.6MB used. A total of 439.9MB is missing! And that is not ignorable anymore.
In fact, if you look at the second image, according to link2sd, my sgy-ext partition is using up 601MB (as compared to 686.6MB reported by Linux, a difference of 85.6MB still in the range of 'ignorable' missing space).
(IMG tag doesn't seem to work so see this link instead) https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-...Kh4pphYo/s800/possible%20Android%20bug-02.png
My questions are:
1) What's happening? and Why?
2) What's with Android OS as compared to Linux? Or putting it another way, why can't Linux see what Android 'supposedly' sees? Assuming that Android is seeing something that Linux can't, which could explain the missing MBs.
3) If it isn't normal at all, what is the best way to reclaim those missing MBs without resetting and starting from scratch? This is like the last resort if all else fails (although I don't mind since for some weird reason, everytime I plug-in my SGY to Linux, it reboots automatically).
Other info:
1) Using stock ROM
2) Using LA1
3) Samsung Galaxy Y
4) Rooted
5) I use Link2SD
6) regular SD card partition is FAT32
7) SD card partition for Link2SD is ext3
8) and a little bit of story, see next:
I rebooted after installing an app yesterday, and for some weird reason all of the installed apps that exists in Link2SD partition disappeared even though the said partition was mounted properly. I checked Link2SD and yes, it was mounted at boot, Link2SD can read the said partition. However, this is where it starts to get weird - Link2SD can not see any of the apps.
When I check the storage via Link2SD's, it reports that I have "used" space in the partition. True enough, the apps were not deleted, it was just that, Link2SD or maybe the phone itself failed to read those apps. Could this be a Link2SD bug and not Android related?
I tried rebooting, remounting, soft restart, all to no avail. I ended up reinstalling everything. Then trying the relink lib and relink cache. Some successfully relinked, the rest did not.
Then rebooted to see if anything changed. Works fine. However nothing changed. Finally I cleared the "trash", those files that lost its connection to its respective apps (via Link2SD's options). Nope nothing, because as Link2SD reported, these trash files have a total of 0kB! All empty files.
I rebooted once more. And then the problem repeated again. Then I rebooted again, and the problem stopped… finally.
However, the missing space are still there.
As you can see in my screenshots above, I have "all hidden files shown" enabled. The total size of all files is too low compared to the "used" size, which I can not reconcile anyway I looked at it.
And that's where I need help or an explanation… Android, Link2SD, possible bug?
Or is this another case of base-10 and base-2 space naming? My Linux OS uses base-10, is Android and Link2SD using base-2? (ie MB vs. MiB)
Thank you very much.

Same Problem have you found a solution?
I am having this same problem now... except I'm missing 1.90GB after a botched install and i know it's there on the sd cause link2sd is showing that it's being used even though I haven't linked anything to it yet after a fresh install of everything even wiping my sd and recreating the fat32 and the ext2 the missing GB are still gone.
Has anyone figured out what is happening or how we can get it back?

How to do JuoPunutbear easily (My own personal experience)

Well, this thread is going to be based on telling you how I completed Juopunutbear since I have no wires around already, I had to be creative and it worked out really well.
Things you'll need:
Downloaded Juopunutbear - Can be fetched from http://Unlimited.io
Ethernet cable
Doubleshot
Knife or scissors
Step 1:
Take ethernet cable and cut the wire open. You will see a couple of wires. Cut both ends to be an appropriate length (I cut about 3 inches of length to use)
Step 2:
Take stripped ethernet cable and pull out one of the wires.
Step 3: Strip about a half inch off the end of each side of the wire so you get the hard copper to show up.
Step 4: Twist the ends so that they are size appropriate for the contact point and can maintain better contact in general.
Step 5: Run control bear and follow instructions with retwisting the copper if you need to according to seperation. If you know what you're doing, it should be done in a few minutes

Step 6 - Optional : Recover your SD card for use again Can be found in post 2
*Note: I take no credit for Juopunutbear, only where my name is referenced in credits on unlimited.io Nothing else.
Credits to Team Unlimited and their respective members.

How to recover SDcard for use (will be formatted)
Step one: Get gparted up and running (you can make a live CD / bootable USB)
Step two: Run gparted (if on linux and using it, type 'sudo gparted' minus '
Step three: Create a new partition table from "Partition Table" in the top menu
Step four: When that completes, repartition the card for the full space and then it will be fine and usable.

gonna try this now, if it fails what can i do to get my phone back in working order?

Run the .exe with the -r command prompt flag. It will restore everything.

sry im kind of lost here did you mean to run the exe in the control bear folder? if so wont it just try to s-off my phone again? and how do i run it with the -r command? im using windows7

Since you are posting your personal experience, I wanted to pass along mine. Tried several times - didn't get it to work.

Timing and contact is important. I had to try it about 26 times

How did you rename the top purple banner?
That's a cool little hack. I'd like to try that myself

im finally s-off, took me awhile (maybe 50+ tries) turns out the sd card i was using was bad, when i switched to a new one it worked on the first try i think.

Guess I got lucky to go through once through....yay me

Decided to give this a shot and the phone just boot loops lol. I'm still a noob when it comes to this stuff, so is there anyway to stop this? Or do I just go to my T-Mobile store and play dumb lol?
*EDIT*
Never mind, just reflashed the boot image and got everything working again.

Not sure what you mean by bad SD card? My SD card got fried somewhere along the process, but I can't believe that if people are doing this 25-50 times before it works that by the end of it their SD cards are still working.

After a bunch of cussing, numerous attempts of the wire trick, and tons of reformats of the sd card later I am finally s-off.

Your sdcard isn't fried by the end of this. It just has a corrupted partition table. So recreating a partition table = perfectly normal sdcard.

So between each attempt, do you need to "fix" the SD card?
