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

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.
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?
PROBLEM SOLVED
Im using custom rom Androxide 1.2.1 and im having trouble to find any media in my Google apps. I cant find any old images in gallery (although I can find newly taken screenshots.).
And I cant find any music at all i Google Play Music.
I CAN see my stuff on SDcard using Root Explorer and on PC.
I have noticed that android.process.media FC's after bootup. And I belive it has something with that to do, but I cant figure out why or how...
This problem seems to only occur on this Androxide rom, all other roms are OK.
I have tried reboot, full wipe, flash rom again after full wipe, change kernel, fix permissions, connect USB storage - disconnect - and reboot, and I have tried to google it.
No luck.
I have now problem with ALL roms im trying. I have been flashing different roms all day and have only had success like 2 times getting media to be found in Gallery and Music app (no problem in explorer apps).
I have no longer fc's on start up.
-Im not sure if its supose to be like this, but after flashing a rom in CWM Recovery the SDcard gets stuck in mounted mode. I get "error unmounting /sdcard!" when trying to unmount it. Before flashing rom after the data wipes I can mount and unmount as normal.
Also when plugging out the phone from USB transfer mode the USB-logo is still in notification bar for a while, and then the phone says that USB is connected altough I just disconnected it...
Is there something wrong with the phone?
I will attach some screenshots and I hope someone friendly can help me out!
Have you tried clearing data for you Music and gallery under Apps?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yes I have.
You can also clear data for 'Media Storage', but this could erase some things (I've seen default ringtones being erased). Not sure the whole extent of doing this.
Run rescan media from the market.
I have tried it, it does not work. Thanks for ideas though!

I ran into the same issue with media process fc's and the phone did not recognize any of my media files from the SD Card.. I solved it by backing up all the important files to my PC: pictures, music, TiBu folder, etc... Wiped (reformatted) the SDCard, wiped/factory reset, reflashed the ROM. Restored my apps from TiBu. Copied back my pictures and other files back to the SDCard. Everything worked fine after that.
I think after a while, the SDCard gets so bloated with lots of files causing the media scanner to take a long time to scan the SDCard, thus the out of memory exception.
+1 on the above....
Start fresh all over again.
Get rid of all the unnecessary junk.
Good luck
Vs Nexus S 4G
I was hoping this was my last way out, but it makes sense. Backing up SDcard now...
Problem solved
formated sdcard and moved my backup back to it, flashed a nice rom, and now it shows all my media again!
Thanks [email protected]!
Sorry man...
..i have the similar problem to be not able to start ,it freezes,i can start in recovery,but trying to mount the sd card,the reply is "e: can't mount /sdcard/"
i ìd like to try the format of sdcard,but : first of all,i must be able to restart at least one more time,to backup all my file,and then,the question is..after formatting it,how can i reflash a new rom?usually i copy them on the sdcard,and then ,bootin in recovery,i install it with the option ' install zip from sdcard'..but after a format,how to copy it?
Can someone help me out here? I can't install anything anymore in recovery, it just aborts right away,Even after I wipe tho it still reloads fresh with my old Rom from May. I deleted everything off my SD card before I Wiped all my data, and tried to install my new rom, I dunno if that did it, Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: It was Safari automatically unzipping the file.. I guess Recovery cant handle the file if you recompress it! used Chrome worked great!
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
