android.process.media (delete this thread)

So all the sudden i have "android.process.media" force closing it happened like four times so i tried rebooting. Still happened after the reboot and i noticed i lost my ringtones. Finally my phone just rebooted now im stuck on the endless android screen! Any ideas what could have gone wrong.
Oh and by the way this just started today but i've been having android.process.core force closing alot ever since i got the phone.
UPDATE: So i have apps to sd maybe this could be part of the problem. I have booted into recovery and typed
su
cd /system/sd
it returns cant access
Maybe i can move all apps back to phone via recovery terminal I just dont know what the commands to do this would be. Also i am at work so i cant use adb.
OK first off i want to start off with always backup everything before anything
i finally got it working i had to reverse all the scripts to move my apps, data, etc. work but kept rebooting finnally i did a wipe worked... somewhat.... but wouldnt log into google so i created a new password that worked. thanks to everyone for their help (cough)

Solved
Hi,
i solved this problem on my Hero making a complete wipe of my SD card.

"System UIDs Inconsistent" with JF1.5

Hello All:
Here is a rundown...
Started with JF1.42-RC33 with Apps, Data, Dalvik to SD...
Went to JF1.5 without a wipe and then updated the radio.
All of this went fine. Now when I start up the phone, it
gives me the "System UIDs Inconsistent" message. I press
the button and then everything loads fine. All 125 Apps
are there, Market works correctly, notes are still there,
and I have tested every App and there are no issues.
Loving the new ROM by the way... no stability issues so
far.
The message on the phone says to wipe the data. If there
is not other way to get rid of the nagging error then so
be it... I still have my Nandroid backup from the JF1.42
image.
Just wanted to see if there was possibly a way to fix this
in ADB or the recovery console...
Also, it is in my nature to try and understand these things.
Could this have happened because my /data directory is
on the SD and therefore was not cleared during the Flash
process? Just guessing...
Any ideas?

wipe and re-set your symbolic links .. all your apps will be back but not their data..

Thanks... I guess I will just take the easy way out and wipe the phone... I have tried various ADB and busybox commands to no avail... What I do not understand is the phone works perfectly after the Nag screen is gone... No force closes... no missing functionality...
I will not do the wipe until this afternoon... Just in case some Linux guru has any ideas...
L8r,

Unless the nag screen bothers you, or shows up more than once per boot, Id leave it. If you start seeing instability or forcecloses then Id wipe.
Unless there is a good reason to Id avoid a wipe. Of course I dont have OCD so one nag per reboot wouldnt bother me. If you do or it does bother you then yeah wipe.

Solved... For me at least...
I had solved this problem some time ago, but I just thought I would add this to the thread in case others find their way here through a search...
All I did was move the /data/data back to the internal memory...
rm /data/data
busybox cp -a /system/sd/data /data
rm -r /system/sd/data /data
reboot
Had a couple of stale NFS file errors, so I could not really delete the /data directory from the /system/sd. However, there are threads that help with this issue.

Probably the cleanest solution HERE

How to upgrade or move away from Super D

Hi there. I have a G1 running Super D-blk 1.10.4. I upgraded it from the official Android 1.6 release and really liked it for the first month. Lately, however, I receive constant errors that say "The application SD Updater (process cmupdaterapp.ui) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." This prevents many programs from running. Just this morning, all my contacts have disappeared. They show up when I log into GMail fortunately, but it's obvious my phone is behaving very weird.
Honestly, I don't remember what tutorial I read to even put this version of Android on my phone, but if anyone has any suggestions on what I should upgrade to, or how to return to Android 1.6, I'd be ecstatic....
Thanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Super D(onut) version 1.6? Also, I'm assuming that you have a G1, Donut is the best version of Android (imo) to run on your G1. The newer (2.x) versions are just too much to run on this machine.
With that said, I think you should at least try starting with Super D from the beginning. Wipe what's in the memory, and start from scratch. If your contacts are stored in gmail, then they'll just be reloaded again. Granted, you'll lose all of your apps, but since they weren't running correctly anyway that shouldn't really matter.
Also, cmupdaterapp.ui is just an app that checks for updates to your Super D. I've always killed that process when my phone boots up anyway (manually updating yourself isn't hard), and I'm not even sure why it starts up by itself when rebooting the phone.
@thecolorifix, you ever meet the "edit post" button?

Thank you for the suggestion, adobrakic. I can't seem to kill the cmupdaterapp since it's what appears to be causing all my applications to crash, including my application-closing utility. At any rate, I'll take your suggestion about reseting the phone. Would you recommend just doing the factory reset within the phone menu? Do I need to reformat my SD card or anything?

The way I go about killing that process is in TasKiller, bring up the context menu for that specific process (holding down on it for a few seconds) and then going to "force-kill," rather than the standard procedure.
Also, I'd recommend wiping your phone by turning the phone off, and turning it back on while holding home + end key. A menu should come up, of which the 5th-or-so option says "wipe." Go into that, then do the factory wipe, cache, and dalvik-cache.

A. Download Rom Manager from market.
B.Run rom manager, top says "Flash Clockwork recovery" Pick G1 (Duh lol)
Z. Go to downloads and let it download Cyanogen 6.0.0 stable and Gapps (Use Wifi)
14. Once its downloaded, click wipe and backup.
@#.Let it do its thing and reboot
170. WAIT!!! it will take between 2-15 min to boot.
23/45%.Skip google sign in at begining
*&.let it settle for about 10 min, Go to market, sign into google account, Re-download Rom manager
D. Go back into Rom manager, Run "Fix Permissions"
14L. Now do whatever you want, fix config for launcher, settings blah blah.
At some point in there before flashing the new rom, you may want to download Titanium Backup and backup all your apps.
If none of this helped,..... Sell your phone ;P

A note for the post above me, CM6 is Froyo (2.2), which does not run as well as 1.6 does on a G1 and causes lag.

As my little merkat friend would say 'Simples!'
This is an easy fix fella and will have your rom running beautifully again, may I also be as bold as too suggest checking out my Setup Guide for Donut in my sig
Goto Terminal Emulator (words in brackets are instructions and not to be typed) and enter…
su (enter)
(Give app permission if it asks for it)
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (enter)
rm /system/app/sdupdatebeta2.apk (enter)
reboot (enter)
Phone will reboot and life should be good again

[Q] Cant install apk, installation fails

Hi, I installed an application on my XT720, but I think the installation hanged so I took out the battery to reset the phone. Now it wont install.
I've encountered this problem before by deleting the temp files using root explorer, but I can't seem to find the temp files on this one. Does anyone know where I can find temp files from installations?
thx

if it's rooted already, just use any of the clear cache apps in market, to clean the temps out
also the Dalvik cache

that almost no one reported problem and almost nobody knows how to fix it, I can say that there are caches market or anything like that, the problem is that there are duplicates in a folder on the SD card, and you have to delete the folder is hidden and not visible on the phone and can not erase, deves do it on the pc, and appears as olcuto file in linux and mac, but you can delete it just by putting "view hidden files" Fortunately, it is easy to fix

I have encountered the same problem, but after i cleaned the caches by Cache Cleaner, the problem didn't solve.
When I tried to install the apk file, the device returns the message 'application not installed'.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

I doubt this is your problem, but maybe check the permissions and ownership of your /cache directory. I borked mine once while experimenting and the market was very silently unhappy.
ls -l should give:
drwxrwx--x system cache 2011-03-28 23:13 cache
If it's not owned by the cache group or if the group doesn't have write permission, downloads just go poof. That doesn't sound like your problem, though.
I've had some situations (going all the way back to 2.1) where Market apps wouldn't install the first couple of times I ask, but if I'm persistent and repeatedly keep installing, eventually it will start installing.
Another trick I've found is if the download completes and then the install never starts, try leaving the Market page for the app and come back. Sometimes that kicks the install into gear.

My problem seldom associate with the market apps, but rather the apk files that i backed up before. when i pressed install, the installation bar would load for a while, about 1 second, and then it said application not installed.
This happens when I first try to install angry birds few days ago, the application hanged up with no response, just showing the installation bar. After that i removed the battery and try to install, the apk can't be installed and the above situation happened.
I can still install some of the other apk files, but some cannot. I tried to wipe all the caches as well as factory reset by the openrecovery, but the apk still cannot be installed.
Anyone got the same problem?

Are you on froyo? IIRC Angry Birds tries to install to the SD card using native froyo App 2 SD. Perhaps that's what's not working on your phone. Since not all apps do that it could seem random. See if you can Move to SD any downloaded apps (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > Downloaded > pick one > Move to SD). If you can't there's probably something wrong with your FAT partition on the SD card (e.g. it may need to be reformatted).

i tried your method, and my apps could move to SD.
So what will be the possible reasons for my problem?

[Q] BumbleBee 2.4 Crashing on App updates.

I am stuck with a rather odd issue as of late..I did a full wipe and re-install of Bumble Bee 2.4 on my Virgin Mobile Optimus V phone about 4 weeks ago.
In a summery when I download a new app i back it up using Titanium Backup immediately after the installation is finished. Then I move the app to my SD card. Sadly anytime I want to update that app through the Android Market Place or even the Amazon app store, BumbleBee will crash and restart during installation.
I tried a few things on my own. Such as moving the apps to internal storage and updating then but the crashes still happen. I even uninstalled a app and tried to download it from the market place but the phone would still crash and restart upon installation.
I did some looking around and the only thing close to my problem I could find was this.
So the issue was with the full-wipe install, but the problem wasn't what I thought it was last night. The install puts the google apps to /data/app creating that directory if /data was completely gone, however the full-wipe install did not set permissions for the new /data/app directory, which meant the Market couldn't install to it and generally freaked out. One reason this didn't show up for me was because there was a second problem in the full-wipe install -- it didn't format the data partition correctly either (!), so /data/app (sometimes) already existed with the proper permissions. And that's why the bug didn't show for everyone.
You can test (and fix) this yourself by booting into recovery, mounting /data, and then doing "adb shell chown -R 1000.1000 /data/app", "adb shell chmod 771 /data/app", and "adb shell chmod -R 644 /data/app". Reboot and Market installs work.

I use the xionia recovery. Can I emulate his steps with it?

I don't mean to double post of have a shameless thread bump but I am willing to try any ideas someone may have. I been googling all around trying to find more on "adb shell chown" ect but I am having some difficulties.

Bump
Bumping this thread. I'm having the exact same problem. Anyone find a resolution?
Thanks!

shameless re-bump
I couldn't find a solution that worked for me to solve this.
The bumblebee rom is great, but I switched to the Inferior Human Organs CM7 rom and all is well. I had some lock screen freezes, but I disabled ADW rotation and that seemed to fix it.
