[Q] apps on my sl force closes and data does not get formatted please help

my galaxy sl does not get formatted and system apps and downloaded apps force closes i have tried wiping data,cache and dalvik cache but the problem is not solved.i have even tried flashing xxkpe and then ddkp3 but its of no use.the problem is not getting solved.i have even tried to flash cm9 and remi ics trough cwm but its gives me the message Encryption unsucessful.please help somebody.i have searched on xda but didnot find any such problem so started a new thread.please help

what do you mean not formatted? Was it the sd card? If flashing a stock rom does not solv the problem "i think" its your sd card which causes the problem. HAve you tried it on different sd card?

by saying not formatted i mean that all the apps which were available before flashing and wiping data remains and i have i tried flashing it without a sd card.so i dont think it is sd card which is causing the problem.can u tell me when do i get a message "Encryption unsucessful" when flashing remics or cm9.

try the below may help you. but you will lost all your data
flash Universal CF-ROOT by amit
reboot into revovery
mount and storage - mount all the partition.
format /data
foramt /dbdata
format /cache
format /system
do not reboot
in advance - reboot download mode
than flash pit file
than flash XXKPE by odin
manual reboot one time
than factory reset
see is you problem solved.

No good bro, the problem is still exist. i faced it too
After flashing stock ROM it says "failed to mount /data (invalid arguments)" and bootloop

@chongns i did all the steps u told properly but still the problem exists.the apps force closes and the data is still not wiped.please provide another solution.

Hi bors if this way not able to slove ur guys problem, than i think ur problem is come from the hardware. Either go to service center or try to make partition in the ext sdcard. Check the thread regarding this problem in here. Follow them.

@Gabuz. Didnt know if this help you. This is a guess.
When flash in odin, check on the option "update bootloader"
There are risky. Cause i did it once when i flash from froyo th GB. but my phone still alive.

@chongns u suggested to format data,cache,dalvik cache and system but there was one more option in mounts and storage (i.e.mount emmc and format emmc)should i have formatted that emmc also.and what was imp of the post u sugested before.

i also formated emmc but its of no use the apps are still force closing and data is not getting wiped.

sometimes after flashing and using the mobile for a while sometimes it goes into kernel upload panic mode.what is kernel panic upload mode and what causes it and how can i not get such a message.please help

i also tried to install miui v4 but it gives the same problem as as remics and cm9 it shows "Encryption unsuccessful"

I would said u having the partition corrupted. So it is wise send it service center than you corrupt it more further

@chongs can u tell me how much money will be required for that.my phone is out of warranty.

i sorry i dun know how much will cost.
recently i following this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736118
it have similar problem with you, you can have a look

after flashing value pack update for india it shows
E:failed to mount /data(No such file or directory) what does it mean and how to make it usable it is not working.please help

Are u facing a random reboot then you get to 'encryption unsuccessful' screen? Then a reboot would get you back to normal state? I solved this by flashing the value pack via mobile odin pro with ever root. I flashed the latest one by prezket

Error 492 Google Play

Hey guys i am trying to solve this error for last 4 days but it looks to be imposible. I did read here on the forum and i tried this :
- format cache and dalvik cache
- format micro sd card
- reinstall rom
- clear cache and data from google play and google framework and google services
- reinstall like 3 ROMS , 1 is energy`s rom, 1 was rayman`s rom and another one. Now i am running energy`s last rom.
I can download app from google play but the ones that require wifi , the big ones like : Dungeon Hunter 3, Heroes and Chaos, Zombiewood, NFL Pro 2013, Brother in Arms and so on...
I dont know what else should i do, i did read all forum topics and tried everything. If anyone can help me please do it. Tyvm and have a nice day.

It might be internal sdcard related. Try deleting .android secure directory or back up your Rom and stuff from internal card and format it.

How should i do that ? ... Ty

Format card? Well plug your tablet to your computer. Backup everything you need from internal card. Reboot into recovery and backup your Rom, Obviously to external card. After everything is backed up then you can format your internal card from recovery. Option should be under mounts and storage.

i dont have option to format sd card ... only to partition it. If i whipe to factory reset, sd card wont get format ? Because i did this factory reset and it still dosent work , same error 492 , i am loosing my mind

try a cache cleaning app from the playstore.
if you cant download any then someone recommended the following.....
cache cleaner pro
if its classed as warez then feel free to have it removed and apologise in advance.

Tyvm for ur advice but its still dosent working , i was about to sell my tablet because of this error... Its allmost imposible to fix it or it is really imposible ?

What recovery are you using? Format card option should be under mounts and storage.
You can also find nv flash files in development section and nvflash. That will format your card and everything else. Make sure to read and make a backup of all your stuff.

Team Rouge is the recovery i use if i am not wrong , i dont need any file from my tablet i just want this error to be gone .

Damaged Phone Memory

I recently downgraded to gingerbread , everything went well thanks to xbsall's new rebooter tool.
I booted and when i came to the home screen i came across an error which said "Damaged Phone Memory".
I first ignored it and went on but when i installed ez file explorer , it says no sd card mounted or nonexistent.
I can't seem to download anything (No sd card error again) except apps which install at system's partition.
Anyone have this error ?
Edit : When i return to ICS it all goes away.
I also realized my old stuff is still around. (That's odd because i thought due to the change in size in partitions it formatted the sdcard. It's actually more odd because i manually formatted it.)
I wiped data/factory reset.
Wiped dalvik cache wiped everything.
Formatted Sdcard. (Apparently it doesn't recognize my sdcard so this format may not count...)
No luck so far.

Pretty sure you just need to reformat/erase the sd card from the menu.

When you downgrade from xbsall's ICS port with v21e it will always show damaged phone memory. All you have to do is flash your countries stock ROM. There is a thread somewhere for the download links. Just look for them then unzip the .bin and .fls files then flash them as you did to up/down grade.

Will try the next time i'm not lazy...
Thanks for the help guys.
Will ask xbsall to include this in his repair guide.

Format sdcard from ROM settings

Factory reset in the main menu if it's the internal storage. It's normally due to the fact that the SD and/or other storage areas are formatted as EXT4, something GB can't handle seemingly.

InternalSDcard partition allocates different memmory blocks in my Ported SU760 ICS than those of original P920 Gingerbread thats why you need to reformat when you get back to Gingerbread.
Both in ICS and GB it is in FAT format.

Is factory reset from clockwork any different from the original ? If no i did a factory reset at clockwork but it didn't work...

I said format internal SD from your ROM settings.
Boot into ROM go to settings, storage and FORMAT internalSD

I asked it in accordance to what Devion said.
Sorry forgot to quote...

Can't I recover files if i not update back to ICS? no other way? I need this files...

I had this exact same issue, and when pressed app menu, i only had the 3D apps, (couldnt even go to settings),
What i did was; on main screen pressed left capacitive button to get to settings and did a factory reset.

just downgraded and had 0 internal memory but after factory reset I now have 0.89 gb internal memory (not internal sd) is it supposed to be this only? I had the impression it was around 2 gigs?
btw I got stock v21E nothing uninstalled

Nothing is damaged just format the memory from the menu and it will be fine (might need a rebooting as well, can't remember)

had already formatted and done a factory reset. Now my question is apart from internal sd which gives me about 5.5 gig i get a mere 0.89 gig of internal ram. Is it supposed to be that only or more? Again I had the impression that it was supposed to be around 2 gig internal memory (i.e reserved for app installation). Stock v21E nothing installed and nothing removed.

what you got is right.
I had the same issue of "damaged internal memory". Factory reset helped.
Its only 1GB internal.
Please click on thanks if you think I helped.

DID you succeed, cuz i've the same pb but my phone is a P925 not the P920
And all the advises here don't work for me
In fact GB V21e bootloader and rebooter in xbsall doesn't succeed in booting my phone after downgrade so I went back to ICS bootloader wich boot but end up with this memory problem. No formating/factory reset from romor even from recovery work for me. Perharp your v21e is not suitable for LG P925 ??!!
Any suggestions

How to move apps 2 sd card?

Hello everyone,
I have a serious problem here. Before factory reset everything was just fine (except that my phone won't connect to my google account, but i already fixed that) Now after factory reset i can't move some apps/games to my sd card! It's annoying because i have just 160MB internal storage, and now its just less than 50MB free. I heard about all those app2sd apps and so on, but they say that it's can't be movable to sd card, when i was able to do so before the factory reset. And this is a little bit tricky because before factory reset i had this option in my settings->application setting menu, a "preferred install location" and when i pressed that it opened a menu with 3 options:
1.Removable SD card
2.Let the system decide
3.Internal memory.
When i selected external SD card it allowed me to move almost every app (except updates to the pre-installed apps like maps, youtube, facebook etc.) But now there is no option "preferred install location"... So the question is: what i should do, to make this option available again?
My phone is Huawei U8650 sonic with stock-fresh android 2.3.5
I was googling for this problem for 2 days and no answer. I also posted this problem on 2 other forums but nobody knows the answer Please can somebody here help me? I would really appreciate that.
English is not my native language - sorry for mistakes and have a good day!

You could try the app - Link2SD - this app can move almost everything because it replaces the original app with a link.
Apart from that, have u tried to boot into recovery and run repair permissions and cleanded dalvik cache?
Hope I could help.

Really, Im not advanced enough in android to understand what you mean, but i think I'll try to do what you said, and i will reply if it worked or not. Oh yeah does this method need root?
EDIT: so i entered the recovery menu and all I got is;
Reboot system now
apply update from sdcard
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe misc partition
touchscreen firmware update
I wiped the misc and cache partition, gonna try now.
EDIT 2: no luck, wiping cache and misc didn't helped...

Link2SD is an app you can dowload from the play store - yes I think it needs root - but it is simple as simple to use like any app 2 sd - just give it a try :fingers-crossed:

S2E is good one :thumbup:

Don't know how it happened but you can try recovering the data through computer using Pandora Recovery Software (Freeware). Be sure you connect your SD to pc using Card reader or connect your phone in USB mode.
