You can get rid of install problems (Skymap, Slideit etc.) appearing with JP3 firmware.
Connect your Galaxy to your PC with the USB cable, mount the internal SD.
Now go to market, download and install with no problem.
That is due to that the sd-card is write only for some reason. Don't ask me why.. will probably be fixed whenever a new FW with 2.2 arrives.. which is soon I hope.

So, I decided to upgrade my desire from 2.1 to 2.2 with the Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM [Market issue fixed]
apparently...after installing the radio rom (the one that also came from that thread) , without any hesitation and checking, I immediately flashed the OS to 2.2 ...
everything was fine with all the feature and stuff, until I;m checking my gallery and it mentions that I need to insert my sd card.
I checked my card on my computers, it's fine and working. tried to put it on and off the phone and still nothing happened.
Tried to plug my desire with the card in it to my computer, but it won't show the file manager thing. As if my computer won't recognize it anymore (but it still charge as usual).
The only thing that came up is the qualcomm something something driver thing.
So, I tried to flash it again, but it won't work, since my the card in the phone can't be detected.
So, the big question is...
How do I fix my desire ? I can't connect it to the pc because it just won't work as storage device....
Does the factory reset thing reset my desire to the unrooted version or the last know version? Since I bought this thing in China, it came with a rooted ROM
btw...this is how I did the whole flash thing...
1.install the htc sync to get the driver...
2. do the flashing...
3.flashed the radio rom first..
4.reboot..and turned it off
5.flash the OS rom....
6.sd card wont work..
I think I need to do the clearing thing before I flashed the OS, but I rly forgot...
so, please, anyone out there...
anyone?
a little update here...
I did the fastboot thing... and managed to have the sd card readable and usable...
copied the flash image and mtd to the phone's data directory with the root explorer.
butI think I still missed out something...
so far...
-sd card is readable and usable
-bluetooth won't turn on....
-can't connect to the pc yet....pop up for the qualcomm cdma driver thing... but no file manager..
-won't even charge
so, anyone got any suggestion?
flash it with another rom or ?
will the problem retain if i flash it with another rom?
Edit: Nevermind, my answer wasn't applicable.
In case anyone is having same problem...
I kinda solved it using the usb-bricked method...
-fast boot it
-sd card is usable once the fast boot method is done
-download the flash image and the other file.
-copy file...and execute it
or
-download the update.zip thing (also the one that's solving the usb bricked file)
-go to recovery
-install the update zip
-win
somehow...now my desire won't install any app to the card or even move the program :/
everytime I tried to do so, my desire just restarts :/
eventhou Im using the mod install from the market...
It's been 2 weeks now -- I've tried everything:
Use TW instead of Launcher Pro (do I have to uninstall launcher pro???)
Uninstall / Reinstall software & drivers
I have done almost everything... nothing works.
When I connect the USB, and I select Keis, the phone just goes black, then pops up the USB picture, goes black, then pops up the USB picture, over and over
I would give $10 paypal to anyone who can get my Keis working.
How else am I gonna be able to update my phone to the new firm ware? to Froyo?
I'm using Bell i9000m
The only thing that works for me is to reboot the phone (holding the power button to untill it restarts) and then after the phone is fully functional/loaded put in the usb and choose kies.. and then mine connects perfectly..
Hope this helps!
-TB-
Use TWLauncher no need to uninstall LP
Turn OFF Bluetooth and Sync. I find this easiest if I put the power widget on the desktop.
Open Kies and plug in USB
This is how I do it and it works every time.
I've tried everything. I'm dieing over here. If I can't connect to Keis, how the hell am I gonna get an updated firm ware ? or Froyo when it comes out ?
Im screwed.
windows 7 64 bit btw
Backup your internal SD card(put the phone in mass storage mode or something like that)
Remove your external SD card if any.
Unmount your internal SD card and format it.
Reboot and try connecting ti to Kies.
It's really weird, and I don't know why it works, but that's the fix that I've seen around and it worked for me.

Froyo 2.2 will probably be made available for installing via ODIN from here or Samsung-firmwares.com
I don't think KIES is that urgent or important/needed.
Dgovil's method works. Try disabling your launcher first just run stock.if this fails you back up your internal sd, unmount and format note this deletes your sd data

I hate to be that guy, but i have tried searching the forums and have had no luck...
Basically while flashing CM10 I screwed up and installed the wrong Gapps pack (never trusting goo manager again)
I got stuck in an endless boot cycle (saying 'installer has stopped' on boot, not allowing any actions)
I did a wipe before attempting to restore... and then my backup was gone.
So now I'm stuck with either attempting to restore to stock (which I'm ok with, I think this is not really my game) or going to a custom rom.
But right now I have no OS installed and my computer will not recognize the device. I have tried kies, installing / reinstalling sammy drivers, and i still can't get anything to appear except for a cd drive.
I have tried on windows xp pro, xp media edition, windows 7 home, same result.
I can still boot into download mode and recovery (i have TWRP as my recovery)
but again, i somehow wiped my backup, i can't get my computer to recognize i have a phone, and i don't have access to an SD card port.
If I get an micro sd card reader, would that give me the ability to copy the rom zip file?
I would really appreciate any advice anyone can give me.
Help! is there any way to fix my phone?
EDIT: MY PROBLEM WAS I had just recently installed a 64gb microsd card, and it was not formatted correctly... ended up getting the correct version of Gapps and a stable version of cyanogenmod (10.1) and installing them onto my girlfriends SD card (which was only 32gb and formatted correctly). I went to walmart and got a SD card to USB adapter for $8, loaded the zips onto that, and flashed them very quickly and easily through TWRP.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I flashed CM FIRST by itself, then after that booted up all nice and happy I went back and flashed Gapps (because without google what are you supposed to do? use it as a phone!? )
and everything installed perfectly and without a hitch.
Thanks for the quick help everyone!

Your not bricked at all, you just have no os.
In twrp make sure your looking at the external sd card foe your backup. And yes if you can get a micro sd card reader/adapter, you should be able to copy a rom file to it.

Re: [Q] soft bricked, but not able to connect to computer
You could also just put the sdcard in another phone and access it on your computer through THAT one
But yeah, as said above, you just have no OS.

Thanks guys. I ended up using an SD card adapter, and loading the zip onto that.
Feel kinda silly for not thinking of that before.
Finally got CyanogenMod to load though!I tried it before only to get that installer has stopped error.

Help on the way
THERE IS 2 WAYS TO FIX IT.
1. POWER OFF THE DEVICE ONCE IT IS POWERED OFF FULLY HOLD THE BACK BUTTON WHILE HOLDING IT PLUG IN USB CABLE AND FLASH DOOMKERNAL AND THEN I RECOMMEND YOU SHOULD PUT DONUT HD ON THE SD CARD THEN. UNPLUG USB AND THEN POWER ON DEVICE ONCE YOU FEEL IT VIBRATE RAPIDLY PRESS BACK BUTTON YOU SHOULD BE ON CWM THEN INSTALL ROM AND YOUR SET.
2.DOWNLOAD Sony PC Companion AND THEN CONNECT PHONE THEN GO ON REPAIR PHONE AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE REST.
NOTE: DO NOT TRY TO INSTALL NO MORE CM IT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE THE WHOLE PHONE DIDN'T WORK GOT STUCK ON BOOTCYCLE
ANOTHER NOTE: IF WIFI DOSEN'T WORK JUST DOWNLOAD WIFI MODULS HERE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1253853 JUST SCROLL DOWN UNTIL IT LOOKS LIKES YOU FIND THE WORD NEW.
OVERCLOCK MAY NOT WORK. RECOMMENDED IS NOT CLOCKED.
3.I RECOMMEND REPAIR IT WITH SONY PC Companion THEN ROOT IT AFTER ROOT JUST PUT CWM AND THEN PUT DOOMKERNAL AFTER THAT FLASH DOOMKERNAL THEN GO INTO CWM AND THEN PUT DONUT HD INSIDE AND YOUR SET.

Hello,
I have had my HTC One M8 for a while now but I wasn't really happy with the soundquality while playing through my headphones, so I looked for ways to improve it. I found a few methods and finally decided to give it a try. These methods require a root so yesterday I have rooted my phone for the first time. Unfortunately I am experiencing some problems now.
The rooting process went without too much trouble. I used hasoon2000's toolkit and have TWRP version 2.7.0.2 installed as recovery and used it to install the provided SuperSU, which didn't work at first. On the forums I found a newer version and installed that one, updated it and got it to work.
Now this is where I think I messed up: I read somewhere that when rooted, you are able to delete pre-installed apps from the phone. I downloaded SD maid and deleted Kid Mode, Zoe and 7digital. When I deleted Kid Mode I got an error saying it has crashed. I tapped away the error but from this point I couldn't go back to my homescreen anymore because my launcher kept crashing (com.htc.launcher crashed). I rebooted the phone and the launcher worked again, but the phone still seemed to be buggy.
After this I tried to install the snapdragon audio+ (this was my first choice for an equalizer). I downloaded the apk and moved it to the system folder using ES file manager. I installed but when I tried to use it (through settings in google play music app) my phone would crash. I uninstalled it and tried again, but when I tried to move the apk to the system map like before, my phone would crash everytime. I then found out the file I used doesn't work for lollipop so I figured that's what caused the crashes.
My next move was to try and install viper4android. I downloaded it from the Play Store and opened it. It told me it needed an installation of BusyBox so I downloaded that too. But when I opened the BusyBox app and clicked install my phone would crash again. After some searching I found that the HTC One M8 requires BusyBox to be flashed manually so I downloaded the file but when I tried to load it onto my phone I noticed this wasn't possible anymore.
Now when I connect my phone to my PC the PC recognizes it, but when I open the map in Windows Explorer it only shows three maps; .showme, _nero_sync and Ringtones. I know there should be more as they were there before. It also shows my phone's capacity as a total of 10GB (shouldn't this be 16GB?). Also when I try to connect it with Sync Manager it gives me an error everytime I reconnect the phone; Device unavailable. Please reconnect your device [4].
I have tried to reset the phone through settings, wipe with TWRP and fix permissions with TWRP. I also tried reinstalling Sync Manager and the drivers on my PC. What I'm thinking now is I maybe have done something wrong in the ES file explorer that would make the folders unaccessible.
My phone is running stock android 5.0.1 and my PC Windows 7 64-bit.
I hope someone can help me, Thanks.
P.S: Sorry for the long post, I figured I'd give as much info as possible.
@Steef076 First update recovery to the latest one (2.8.6.0)
Second if you go and delete vital or integrated parts of the stock rom you will get a lot of bugs. Third, viper4android requires to write system and you can't write system with the stock kernel, you need an unsecured kernel or unsecure it yourself.
10GB is right since 6 is eaten by android. At this point I would just revert to a backup or install any custom rom around here. Most are close to stock and with no bloatware and come with root. You can even clean them further using a tool called ROM Cleaner. It will most likely solve all your problems
Did the deleted system apps reappear after reboot, or do they remain "uninstalled"? If the system is write protected like TempestZ states, any deleted system apps should reappear after a reboot.
Revert your nandroid to restore the system apps. And you didn't make a nandroid, you really should before making any system modifications for the very reason that it allows you to revert if you run into problems.
Another good practice, is if you don't know what effect deleting a system app will have (such as "safe to delete" lists that can sometimes be found on XDA) you should first freeze the app with Titanium Backup. If freezing doesn't cause any issues, then go ahead and delete. If you do have issues, just unfreeze the app.

No, Windows will never show 16 GB. It only shows "internal storage" partition, or the user accessible portion of the storage. A good chunk is reserved for the OS.
Does what is shown in Windows differ from what is shown in ES if you browse to internal storage?
Thanks for the replies. @TempestZ @redpoint73
First of all I managed to update twrp to 2.8.6.0 using adb/fastboot.
To answer your question @redpoint73 the system apps I had deleted indeed reappeared after reboot. Also I didn't make a nandroid before I deleted the files, as I did not even know this was possible. Now I have made a nandroid of my stock ROM that is working decently, except for the TV app keeps crashing (I'm not opening it) and the connection to the PC is not working properly (not sure if this is ROM based?). I have noticed when the phone is in recovery I CAN see the folders through windows explorer. HTC sync manager still doesn't find it though. I am working on finding a proper stock ROM or maybe flash a custom one to see if that will fix it.
I understand now that the OS is taking up the storage space. The space windows is showing is the same as ES file manager so I guess this is fine.
HTC Sync is a hot mess. It often causes more troubles than it solves.
One thing you can try (to see if it fixes the USB connectivity) is uninstall HTC Sync and all HTC drivers. Than connect the phone. Don't let it install HTC Sync. Go to Windows Device Manager, find the device. Then pick the option to manually select the drivers, and pick the generic "Android MTP device" (or something to that effect) drivers.
This doesn't work for everyone. But it worked for me to be able to "see" the internal storage of my M8 on my home PC (Win 7). Annoyingly, it seems to vary from one PC to another. My work laptop (also Win 7) works fine with HTC Sync.

So if I understand correctly, 'version-main' is the same as 'firmware' and 'software number' (found in settings)? If so, my current firmware seems to be 4.19.114.2.
Now, what you're saying is I should do an OTA but this isn't possible because I have a custom recovery right?
Also, when I want to flash stock rom and stock recovery or do a nand don't I need the files that fit my cidnum? How would your file work for me?

If yours already on 4.19.114.2 then no need to do OTA as that the latest.
and my backup will bring back your device back to stock as you first bought it when restore with a full wipe.
Try to solve your problem first, only when you really need the backup then only I will upload ... let me know

Hello, sorry for the late reply.
I have decided to give a custom ROM a try. I now have ARHD 41.0 installed and it seems this took care of my problems. All the maps are showing in windows explorer and HTC sync manager is connecting properly with my phone again. Also no more crashing apps. Your backup would still be of much use for me as I am not sure I want to stick with a custom ROM and therefore would like to have a stock ROM backup.
Thanks in advance.
My phone was kinda laggy and I had audio problems during calls while I was on CM 12, so I decided to switch to AOSP 6.0.5.1 ROM. I installed it on the phone and decided to format my SD card afterward. It appeared I had forgotten to install Gapps and after the SD formatting this task came near to impossible. I tried downloading them from the basic browser of the phone, but whenever I start downloading any stuff from the basic browser it crashes and prevents any downloads. I tried transferring them with USB but after this whole thing, my Phone folder on the PC explorer appears to be blank. I finally managed to send the gapps .zip file via Bluetooth but when I tried installing them in Recovery (Touch Philz Recovery) it gave me a Status 6 error. I tried sending the google play .apk file via Bluetooth but it could not be sent for whatever reason. The only alternative that comes to my mind right now is sending another ROM via Bluetooth with gapps set and installing it. Any ideas on how to get the gapps running? Thanks in advance.
P.S. I don't know if that is because of the lack of gapps installed but I tried installing any .apk file from another micro SD card and a message appears that these files (.apk) can't be opened.
Why don't you just reflash the ROM and Gapps in one go?
BTW, did you root the rom? Enable Dev Option? Enable install unknown source? Its AOSP 6.0.1 I believe?
