[Q] Superwipe/flashing ROM error (Sensation XE) (Answered)

Hi guys,
OK so I have had my first Android phone for 2 days now (Sensation XE) and I have rooted it last night with Revolutionary.
Had some hitches, but got there in the end.
Anyway so to play it safe I thought I would flash Android Revolution 3.6.8 for sensation
I have clockwork and made a full backup, which is now on my computer.
Anyway I copied over superwipe and the ROM to the SD card and booted into recovery.
I attempt to use Superwipe, this does start but then fails on its own package, Status error 1 Installation aborted
When I try to flash the ROM on its own (Wiped using clockwork) basically the same thing happens again
What could the the issue?

Redownload zip files.

Even if its happening on both?

I would give it a try.

Nope still the same issue

Also, I formatted my SD card and redownloaded again, it still states "E:error in /sdcard/android revolution etcetcetc
(Status 1)
Installation aborted

If you do the wipe manualy via CWM (wipe cache,boot,system,data...) does it work?

Good news! Seems as though I have fixed the issues.
Basically formatting (Even doing a full long format) of my Sd card wouldnt work, but would always show 1.6GB total space, the Card is 2GB, so I would expect around 1.8GB at least.
Anyway Superwipe wouldnt work, but the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280358
Is different, and did actually run.
Since it has run, its seems as though its deleted a hidden partition, I now have 1.8GB of free space on the SD. and I can now instlal anything without fault.
Hope someone else who is having the same issues as me see this thread, it would stop them from pulling there hair out!

Thanks I had this issue too and it was fixed as above.
Odd though - SD comes with a partition from factory?

Thank you so much. I was having the same issue, and this one works!!!

I was having the same issue and this worked for me.
Thank you!

Glad I'm helping people!
Can you press the "Thanks" button for me?

I had the same issue on my phone, and it turned out that Android Revolution and the Super Wipe that comes with it do not work with ClockworkMod. They are instead built to work with 4EXT. If you try to install with ClockworkMod, it will get a failure in the package. The reason for the failure is because the cache is still mounted, and it tries to wipe it. You can work around this by going back and unmounting cache, then trying to run the Super Wipe install again. You'll have to repeat the same procedure for installing Android Revolution.
One thing though is if you do install Android Revolution with ClockworkMod instead of 4EXT, you'll miss some important prompts. Once you get your phone up and running again, install 4EXT, then reinstall Android Revolution with it.

Out of Space Error

Hi. I have a 16GB Galaxy S3 with a 16GB Micro SD Card. I had about 1.3GB of storage left on my device when I started to get this "out of space" error. I thought this was stupid as that's still a lot of storage. I deleted some apps, as suggested. I got up to about 1.7GB and it was still giving me the error. I decided to delete NOVA 3, which brought my free space to 3.5GB. For some reason, I'm *still* getting this error. I looked at other solutions, and I thought it would be good to get directory bind to free up some space on the internal memory. The thing is, I still can't install the app that will help get rid of this error because of this error. Pretty dumb. The apk is on my saved on the device and I can get to it via any file manager. Whenever I get the error, it prompts me to delete some more apps (even though 3.5GB is a ton of free space). Please help. Thanks!

Boot into recovery and wipe dalvik cache. Or go into /data/app and see if there is a odex file of the name of the app you are trying to install. If there is then delete it.

I have tried those solutions before and I just tried them again now, but they don't work.

Maybe the partition where apps install to is full?

How do I check that?

It's time to move pictures, video and downloads to your sd card. It put them in cloud storage or on your pc.

I would copy what you need to PC and reformat/wipe the internal sd, and system and then Immediately reflash rom. As there will be nothing to boot. :cool

I have copied all that I can to the SD card. The only things I have on my internal storage are apps. I don't have any pictures, music, videos, etc. 3.5GB should definitely be enough space to install this small app.

Something is seriously wrong somehow. I just freed another 2.56GB so that I have 6.1GB free. That's more than half of my storage free. I STILL cannot install any app from the play store or from my local storage.

Something is borked, do what prdog said and it will fix you up.

Should I Titanium Backup everything and factory reset? I'm rooted and unlocked. I think that a factory reset would break root and maybe even the unlocked bootloader I have now. Thanks.

How should I proceed?

Back everything up that you need and Go into recovery and format/wipe Internal card and wipe/format system and reflash. Would not nand restre cause it will put back whatever is bad. There is no special app partition anymore. Can use as much as you have for apps. For some reason it is being blocked from external sources seeing it.

So I could still use TB? How would I re-flash after I wipe the internal card and system? I am currently unlocked, rooted, and running the stock android touchwiz rom. I'm on android 4.1.1. Would I have to re-root and unlock, re-root, or neither after I re-flash? Sorry that I'm asking you questions that are pretty easy. I'm just a relative novice and I don't want to mess my phone up. Thanks!

Could anyone help me with those questions? Thanks.

Could someone explain a bit more thoroughly? Thanks.

It would be much appreciated if someone could describe those steps a bit more clearly.

[Q] HELP! Insufficient Storage Space...11.24 GB Though

Hi all,
I already searched around and could not find anything close to a solution. I have a huge ANNOYING problem. I haven't had this issue until recently. Or rather, I haven't noticed it until now. I flashed a new ROM coming from CM10 thinking it was the ROM, but I have tried two different ROMs and still the same problem. WTF!? I keep getting the message "Insufficient Space available" error when trying to install programs from Google Play or trying to side-load.
For some reason I have two internal storages when I look under storage in system settings. One is 1.97GB and the other is 11.24GB. In the smallest one, I have 209MB available. WTF!? Yet the other has 11.17GB. It's to the point where I have only 9 progrmas installed! 9!! Something's got to be wrong here, Please help!
What's the deal!? Anyone have a solution. I have done a factory reset and cleared everything. Still nothing. Any help is greatly appreciated.
*temporary fix*
OK, so I went in and cleaned out the folder /system/lost+found
It had 1.6gb of used space. Deleted it all and now I have that space available.
The main reason for this being a temporary fix is because I still have two internal storages. So eventually the 2gb where all the programs are being installed into, will run out again. So then phone is not taking advantage of all 14 GB available for storage.
-Carlos

Did you wipe data and caches?
I had this problem before, where I had gigabytes of files in the lost+found folder, which would take up the internal storage where apps are installed. When I went to another ROM, I did a clean flash, and even though I restored all apps from Google, I had much more space available.

I did all that. Just like always. Even before I flashed the new ROM, I cleared cache and wiped data. Even did Dalvik cache wipe. Still nothing.Where is this lost+found folder you speak of. Maybe go into it manually. But still doesn't explain all that available space.

Wipe data from google play services, google play, and google services frameworks. Clearing the data also wipes the cache for you. To do this go to Manage apps>all and pick those apps. It'll take some time to resync all your google info but after that you should be good.

So I just had this problem yesterday and what worked for me is to wipe Everything, except for the sd cards. That should clear out the data that is from your last rom.

Actually the way to fix it is set "use rm-rf" options in settings in TWRP while flashing. I don't know why but make_ext does not work sometimes

I'll try that. Actually I got it to where I can actually install other rpogrmas. But the phone still has a 2gb internal storage and 11.4gb internal storage. Which is pretty frustrating. Buddy's S3 only has one internal storage. Sondoea another Buddy's note2. So I'm lost as to why I have 2 internal storages. Wtf!?

Have you figured out a solution (and not just a temp. fix) to your 2 internal storages issue? I'm having that problem right now after flashing official CM 10.2.

Did you wipe internal sd card as well or did you mean you wiped everything except both the internal and micro sd card?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

My solution was to disable Sync App Data in my google account as I logged into a factory wiped phone. I had Despicable Me 2 installed on my tablet, but even though it wasn't installed on my phone it was still syncing the 600 (SIX HUNDRED) MB of App data (videos I assume?!). There is no easy way to know which apps are doing this(abusing data sync), especially if you have multiple devices using the same account but different app sets. Wiping /data and making sure not to sync app data was the only thing that worked for me. Once you are in, you may be able to delete that app data by delteing the app from the 'My Apps' 'All Apps' section, but there should really be a better way to manage this data.

Did anyone come up with a permanent fix for this? I have tried flashing several roms several times and always end up with the split storage.

I haven't found a permanent solution, but you can install apps on the external SD card. I think there is an Xposed module that will force apps onto the sd card as well.

How to get rid of levels on Internal memory due to upgrading to 5.0 and back sd 0/0

I'm going to apologize in advance that this may not come out correctly. But tonight I tried to flash 5.0 on my HTC One M8 using Vanilla Pop, I went onto skydragon and downloaded the firmware from there and then loaded Vanillapop. When I went to upload my apps from titanium backup, they were all gone. Upon further inspection, what happened was a new level of folders laid on top of the old ones, so on this new level all the folders are empty and to get to my old ones I have to click on a "0" and then I can see all my backups and saved information. I decided to go back to 4.4.4 and Viperrom but when I reloaded the 4.4.4 frimware, it created another level. so now to get to my files on the internal memory card I have to click 0/0/foldername to get to my files and viperrom won't recognize the extra levels and give me an error of a bad internal memory card. How to I eliminate these two extra levels that were created or how do I point ViperRom in the right direction so I can setup my phone. I am definitely back on 4.4.4 so I don't think it is incorrect firmware.
Thank you and please let me know what details I can share if my description wasn't clear.

If your items are restored I would save them to your sd card also save the rom zip that you want to install to your sd card and also do a cloud back up then just take your sd card out and go to recovery and do a complete wipe of everything before doing so go to mount and make sure everything is mounted then wipe everything including internal memory.
If it were me I would have the newest ruu on another sd card and after wiping everything just run the ruu off your sd card which when you go to fastboot it should pick up the ruu on your sd card, just make sure to click yes to run the ruu.
This will get all your issues fixed and get you back to 100% and you can then install whichever rom you want from your other sd card and restore all your apps and so on.

What recovery version are you using? I'm not 100% sure, but I believe this is caused by a bug in the Official TWRP 2.8.1.0. Captain_Throwback has a version I have been using that is working flawlessly. You can download it from here: https://s.basketbuild.com/filedl/de.../TWRP_Recovery_2.8.1.0_M8_exFAT_test_CPTB.img
You would still need to cleanup what has been done as mentioned by M9guy, but the new recovery should prevent you from getting into that situation again.

I'm using Philz CWM recovery. I'm trying to look on the internet but can't find a link that explains how to eliminate the levels of folders that I found. I have a Nandroid, if I load this will it change the internals to go back the way they were? I'm scared I'll mess things up worse then they are.
I'd stay where I am except somehow after flashing a few roms I have acquired a bug that is driving me nuts, I can't get rid of the grey bubble that no calendars selected and I can't hit buttons/apps/letters that are below the bubble and it is persistent. It won't go away.

That's your mistake. Philz is junk and should be avoided at all costs. I have read nothing but horror stories from people who have used it.

I went back and flashed TWRP and then formatted data to cleanly wipe everything. Now I'm reloading Viper but when I get to the setup screen it still has problems identifying the internal memory. I can't use the walk through setup which includes the back up. I'm trying to reflash the rom one more time to see if things change.
Thank you everyone for your help and if anyone has anything to add please let me know.

Not sure if Wipeing from TWRP will do it or not. I think you have to install the Stock Recovery and do a factory reset from there. Then you can install TWRP. Stock Recovery does more than TWRP when wiping.

Yes, I first installed stock recovery, did the factory reset and then loaded TWRP.
I see S-off reads off in bootloader so I think I am ok with that.

Thanks everyone for your help. I think I got it. The phone commented that the internal memory card wasn't valid but other than the setup wizard everything seems to be working and I got rid of the levels and the persistent, no calendar message seems to be gone.

The problem isn't that the recoveries junk it's that it hasn't been updated in ages. Its running old device files creating issues with newer roms and the Android multiple user accounts creating 0 folders. I don't think it's fair to call it junk since it's not supported and hasn't been for quite a while . The developer has stated this. A pretty well known developer has kept the recovery up to date which should correct this issue if you still wanted to run his recovery. I won't stand behind it because I haven't run it but typically this developer is good as gold. Here's the link we all know the name.

M9guy, thank you very much for the suggestion. I was scared to do what you requested in fear of messing things up worse then they were. Right now the only problem I'm having is I can't use the setup tool which messed up trying to auto load all of my apps. I had to go through all my apps manually and bring them back. Aside from that everything seems to be working fine. The stupid bubble telling me no calendars selected is gone and the two additional levels are gone from the system. I'm now using TWRP recovery instead of Philz. Thank you much !!!!!

Your welcome, glad you got it fixed. I know it all seems like a lot, you just have to take baby steps I was the same way, but once you start doing things you will realize oh its not that difficult. You just have to read up and then read again and normally you can get your needs accomplished. There is always people willing to help as we were in your same position at one point and someone helped us the same so its good karma for us to do the same and pay it forward. We are all grasshoppers in a large field all still learning. There are always many ways to do things some may be harder but if the end result gets you fixed really that is all that matters and you learn as you go. Have fun with it and reap the benefits !!!!!!

The only lingering problem from trying to upgrade my phone to Lollipop is now my phone won't allow me to use setup wizard and when I try to load apps from the Google Play store, my phone is no longer listed as being a Verizon Wireless phone, it now looks like my Nexus 7 which reads "No Carrier" is there a trick to getting that back?

Not sure but maybe somehow your cid got changed you can also change it to cid 11111111 for super cid, or I do believe factory verizon m8 should be VZW__001 to change it to that go to fastboot usb and with adb tools enter the command
fastboot oem writecid VZW__001
and hit enter and it should confirm.
You can check this out at the link below.

Everytime i install an app it says out of space.

Hi there
I have done a small search of the thread on this section of the forums but it seems I can not come up with the answer.
I have an old N5 16gb model. Running on DU 6.0.1 rom. Every time i install an app it says there is no space and i need to delete some apps before i can continue.
If i delete apps it still doesn't work. If i clear the cache it works.
As i go along it seems i am getting less and less apps on the phone. Android system is taking 3.42 gb of the partition.
I have never done anything to the partitions when i wiped the phone to put on a new rom. Just wipe and install rom.
Any suggestions?
Secondly If i flash a android 7 rom do i need to repart the phone? I haven't flashed anything in about a year so i am a little rusty.

Apps are getting bigger and bigger but you should check the twrp folder, maybe you have a backup or two that you don't need so you should erase them. Around 3gb per backup in average.

I figured that the apps are getting huge. Looks like it might be time to update the old phone then. Nothing in the twrp folders.
I have about 600mb left on the device. I have deleted everything else i can.

Then it's time to upgrade, no other solutions.

You could try to format your internal SD or install DiskUsage to find out which app takes most of the space. I think it must be an app with a huge cache.

Settings->Storage->Cached data click on it and choose to delete it.
About flashing 7 ROM it is highly required to do clean install(wipe everything), everytime you switch from one ROM to another, if this is what you meant by restarting device. Re-partition wont be needed, just wipe and flash.

Sweet! I do the cached data wipe every time i need to install something. It's the only way i can get something on there.
I was wondering about the repartition as i heard the 7 roms are fairly large.

Re-partitioning won't be necessary, if you use pico/nano/micro variants of GAPPS package.
