Flash new gapps? Wipe?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I am also having the same problem at the moment on my Hero! I tried wiping it and flashing a new rom and gapps and it is still not working. I tried un mounting sd card and switching in and out of airplane mode...any help would be appreciated!

I got it...
After filtering through some of the threads I came across some different solutions. Clearing the cache in download manager works for some people. It didn't for me. But this did. I unmounted my sd card and I could download apps! Hoorah! But what happened? My apps werent being saved to sd anymore...why would it matter if it was mounted or not? So I decided to backup all my data that was on my sd card to my computer and formated the sd card. Then I tried to download an app and it worked right away! Im currently restoring my sd card with data so I will try it again in about 5 mins.

We solved this problem.
First. Download CyanogenMod. Then install it from recovery.
When your phone opened you can able to download from market.
If you reboot your phone it will be unable.
Then go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Select All
Select Market and Delete Data ( Not cache ) ( You cant delete data in 2.1 Eclair You need to Cyanogen or 2.2 )
Then your market fixed.
Enjoy

Just started getting this myself, none of the steps has worked so far, removing and reinserting SD card and SIM, clearing cache and data on Market, cleared cache in recovery, nothing. I recently flashed CM 6.0.2 and this is when it started to happen. The first download worked, but every attempt after the first one doesn't, but it DOES work over 3G but it's slower than wifi.
I restored back to teppic74's froyo and it works just fine, might have something to do with CM6 for some reason.

[Q] All apps keep Force Closing, can't save to SD card

Im having real problems with my Nexus S on 2.3.4 rooted
When I start it up I just get constant force close messages from a load of apps, including system apps. I cant use the phone at all because everything crashes. I've not really made any changes apart from manually flashing the 2.3.4 update and thats been running stable for about a week
I figured I would try and flash a new ROM and/or go back to stock 2.3.1 ROM which I found in the forums here to fix it but whatever I save to my SD Card does not appear in clockwork recovery when I select "Install from zip"
I then tried to copy the ROM again which was showing on the phone through windows explorer, then when I unplugged the cable and plugged it back in, the file had disappeared and any files/folders I created on the SD Card have gone.
Any help would be much appreciated
edit*
All of the apps crashing seem to complain about the database. Im getting SQLiteExceptions from everything, either unable to find file or cannot write to a read-only database
I've tried to lock/unlock the boot loader, wipe everything via recovery (clockwork and stock) and factory resets but everytime i restart, its always the same as if i haven't wiped and the errors keep on coming
grateful for any help
i think these problems are all linked to being unable to save to the sdcard/internal storage. Is there a way to flash a rom without using the internal storage? say have it linked to the PC and do it from there?

[Q] Error downloading apps

I have been having this problem for quite sometime now. I have a Galaxy S Plus running on Android Gingerbread. Whenever I`m trying to download any apps I always get this error:
Update for "App Name"/ could not be downloaded due to an error. (905)
I have googled this problem and found out that I should just clear the cache of Google Play and the data of the Download Manager. I did this and it worked for a while however the problem keeps on coming back. I am already tired of repeating the steps over and over again. Now it`s gone worse, I cannot download anything. The same error keeps on coming up even if I already cleared the cache and data.
I believe I have sufficient space on my phone (phone, USB storage and SD card). Please help me out with my problem! THANK YOU.
Download gapps.zip for your device from xda.
Copy it to the sd card and flash using clock work mode.
The problem will be solved
Xperian using xda app

erased internal sd

Partioned sdcard and backed up wrong files- lost everything off phone- getting process.android.media stopped, can't download(error 491) no apps- any help please
This hasnt happened to me before. Does it boot up? If you can get into download mode try using a Odin One Click.
Good luck
Boots fine, shows all the apps but they aren't installed because I can't download. I'm running CM9 with IcyGlitch, no problems there except I cant run ROM manager pro because I cant download it again. I think it must be something to do with a media file because music and gallery doesn't work either.
Got it! Did a wipe data/factory reset and everything seems to be working again

[Q] Couldn't install to USB storage or Sd Card, error

ROM: Scott's 10.1 6/16
Play Store Version: 4.1.6
Rooted: Yes
So after flashing to the 6/16 CM 10.1 unofficial, my phone will not install or upgrade 2 apps, Icon Pack- Black and Blue and OfficeSuite Pro 7. I thought it may have been the size that wasn't allowing it, but other apps over 25mb have installed and upgraded just fine.
I've tried to unmount the sd card and install but had no luck, also tried without the sd card in the phone too. I've also cleared the cache and data on both the play store and download manager with no luck. I've tried on wifi and nothing. I have also tried deleting my google account from the phone and that too didn't work. Also wiped the cache partition with no luck too.
Stealthycheif sent me the apk, but they just updated today and the update won't work, Mobile Systems told me to contact Google and they basically said nothing they could do since it's a custom rom.
Is there anything else I can try?

[Q] Bricked my phone formatting system, Unbricked, But now Mounts2sd mucks up phone!!

Ok heres the story (its not too long don't worry)-
But I URGENTLY need help to fix it please please.
I have an LG GT 540.
I got it 2months ago, and it came as factory standard, and on LG's android 1.6 operating system (so unusable basically).
Over the 2months I managed to upgrade it to a Cyanogen 4.2.1 custom rom, managed to learn how to partition my SD card into fat32 & ext2 and then installed Mounts2sd and used it to freeup space on phone.
(The phone comes with only 138mb storage, so is unusable without mounts2sd quite simply).
The phone was constantly freezingup everytime I tried to load any app ever,
but after clicking the 'Fix Permissions' tab in the recovery menu, it was all working fine and everything was working fine.
HOWEVER as 1 thing wasn't working on an app I love, and re-installing the app didn't fix the issue, I decided to wipe the whole phone, reinstall the ROM and try re-installing the app then.
But when trying to clear and wipe everything from the phone, in addition to clicking data wipe/cache wipe/dalvik cache wipe, I also clicked on the buttons saying ''Format system / Format SDcard / Format sd-ext''.
When I tried to reboot phone it was bricked, as had no boot screen logo, just was plain dark screen.
I fixed this by removing sd card from phone, putting it into laptop, placing the Cyanogen 4.2.1 rom file directly onto the sdcard, placing sd back into phone, rebooting into recovery menu, and then re-installing the ROM from the sd card.
However I now have a massive issue in that whilst the phone will now work without Mounts2sd installed (well it works but I cant install any apps as no space to do that),
As soon as I install Mounts2sd on the phone and try to use it, whilst it does freeup the memory its meant to, it totally mucksup the entire phone by making every app freeze, making phone not turn off straight away when clicked to... ect
I have removed sdcard, re-partitioned it on my laptop into Fat32 & Ext2, re-installed the ROM multiple times, and then re-installed mounts2sd on the fresh rom and tried to use it,
But everytime I try it just screwsup the phone and makes all the apps and everything on the phone freeze!!
Ive now wiped all data/cache/dalvik,
re-flashed that cyanogen rom onto the phone again (mustve done that 50x now in last 2months),
and am about to try formatting the sd card again on my laptop, then re-partitioning it to Fat32 & Ext2.
But before I re-install Mounts2sd and get the exact same issue all over again,
please please can someone tell me how I can fix this or what im doing wrong??
And so how exactly I can install Mounts2sd back onto my phone again, but without it messingup the whole phone and making everything on it freeze?
Thankyou soooo much inadvance
