[Q] Could not install anything - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey there,
I'm using Pays rom 2.2 with a2sd+ and turned my desire to s-off 2 days ago.
Yesterday i was confronted with problems:
- phone "reboots" twice over the whole day. I don't know if it just rebooted. I only noticed that i have to enter the PIN again.
- I can't install anything. If i try to run a apk file directly, this phone starts to install it and aborts with "could not install". The same issue is with the market.
Reboot doesn't help. What else can I do?
Thx

flash a new ROM?

everything works fine till yesterday. I don't want to use another rom. I love Pays.
Any idea what else can I do except flashing a new rom?

my girlfriend is going to kill me. I also flashed Pays rom to her phone. A few days ago.
-> "My phone restarts by itself! You your an idiot!"
-> "My phone won't install anything! You your an idiot!"
-> "My phone seems to be buggy! You won't see me naked until this is fixed!!!"
^^
Are you sure this is a problem with the rom?
The last weeks everything was realy fine. Stable, fast, no problems and now this..

I solved the problem!
-->adb shell pm setInstallLocation 0
Now everything works fine

Camera not working :(

My camera stopped working after flashing Leedroid 2.2a! I have been using RCmixHD for the past 10 days and after reverting back to my old rom it doesnt work anymore! I've tried switching sd cards erasing everything, I also make sure to wipe before flashing. Any help on this? Everything works except the camera, I'm trying some other roms at the moment and will update asap.
*I've tried loading a different version of Leedroid and opendesire and it still doesnt work! Camera just initializes but I am greeted by a blank screen!
Anyone that can help me??? I am getting mighty desperate. Could it be a possibility that the camera is broken? Everything else is working just fine.
I’m not sure it's your ROM mate. I reckon the camera's gone. As long as you fully wiped and the camera isn't working on any ROM I cant see how it can be a software problem?
Have you retried flashing a new radio?
Tried reformatting the sd card and removing partitions. The last time my camera worked was before I tried out the new sense roms 2 weeks ago lol
Will try to flash a new radio, I guess that's the only thing I haven't done since I've tried with a new kernel.
Just my luck
I have a sneaky feeling it could be the radio? I can't see if you haven’t dropped it or anything, why the camera would suddenly break. I also can't see how a ROM could break it either but hey... fingers crossed.
Should be radio related. Flash the couple of radios

Hmm, hope not...somebody will get a heart attack if we find out that custom HD roms can eventually break the camera : /

Try flashing an official RUU, it may fix all the problems.
I hope it's not caused by the HD rom, because a lot of people will cry, including me.

I've been messing around with RCMixHD 0.9a, attempting to use the camera too. Flashed back to stock Froyo with no problems.
I hope you get it working. Good luck.
Can you post a logcat report of the bug?
Do you know how to do them?
the same thing happened to me a few weeks back except the camcorder worked but the camera app froze the phone and it was the same on most new roms but i flashed the oldest official firmware i could find and the corosponding radio that i would have had at the time, then all worked again, upgraded everything and it worked fine, still dont understand what happennned tho :S if that dont work then i would prob recomend to unroot and do an official ota upgrade then re root maybe
I've tried reformatting the system from the recovery still no go. The camera and camcorder now works but no image comes out, just a black empty screen. Tried multiple radio with multiple rom combinations now. Will try to flash an official rom now..
Thanks for the input guys, keep'em comin!
BTW how do you flash official roms?

please read, hes tried that many times.
to RUU just boot to fastboot and run the exe from windows and wait patiently
I'm sorry I'm a noob. Do I have to adb or stuff? So I connect my phone, go to fastboot and then just launch .exe? That simple?
and do I run the gsm wwe edition first and then run the OTA update? or go straight to the OTA? or do I forgo the OTA update?
thanks guys!
Ok now this gets even stranger..
I was about to ruu the phone and everything suddenly started working again! I just took out the batteries, swapped SD's again, reformatted my old SD (for the gold card), put back my other SD and powered on. Everything works! 10 outta 10! I did not flash any radio or new roms since last night!
This makes me wanna sell my phone and get a new one! Any idea how this could have happened?

CM7 Destroyer Rom

Hey guys, I just installed the Destroyer Rom, however after downloading everything correctly it seems the rom is not reading my sd card (sd card damaged). I checked my card via computer, and it's fine. Is there something I'm doing wrong? HELP PLZ
I had this exact problem on salvage mod. Tried different kernel and seemed to fix. It was an asop 2.3.3.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
So you used a different Kernel and it worked ?
Have you tried rebooting; it could just be a glitch [which happens time to time].
destroyer is waaaaaayy old. try end of days rom. it's the next update in the 'destroyer' series.
Yeah, especially if you're using destroyer v1. Either way, rebooting usually fixed that for me.
Hey guys thanks for all the suggestions, however I went with Eternal Prophecy rom. This rom is the best.

I'm gonna try the End of Days rom also just to give it a shot.

Desire restart

Hello guys,my English is bad.my desire continues restarting.what can I do? P
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Hey,
does it happen while running normally or while booting up?
I guess it's important to know what ROM you are using ... maybe you got something wrong while flashing your phone ...

Probably a hardware issue, you need to send it to htc for repair , so go baxk to stock
sent from my htc desire running aurora v03
Flash back to a stock Rom first and see if it still reboots.

If you want really smooth ROM (and of course you love Sense) then flash Kwbr ROM.
I am on CM7.2 but never faced any FCs so far
will it work....?

I'm a bit confused- that doesn't look as if you flashed Kwbr ROM...? The .exe files definitely aren't for flashing. What guide(s)/tutorial(s) did you use?
An ruu will give you a completely stock phone and in 9/10 cases will fix all software faults, if your still experiencing touchscreen problems after running an ruu then it could be a hardware fault and you may need a new digitiser.

Maybe some problem with your touch screen.

[maguro] [paranoidandroid] I can´t wipe my phone

Hi,
Since this moring my phone is constantly rebooting. It first started when I tried to update 6 apps via the market. I´m on Paranoid Android 1.9.9.1. it worked smooth without any problems until today. I´ve alredy tried to reflash erverything but everytime i get the same result: the phone working for a minute and then suddenly out of the nowhere rebooting even if i don´t use it. Then i tried to wipe my phone which didn´t work either. Neither via cwm nor through the settings. Of course i have already searched the forum for possible solutions but it seems like i´m the only one who has ever experienced it. Could someone please led me to a thread wher my problem is discussed or provide me a solution i don´t what to do . Thanks in advance for everyone who is trying to help me.
P.S. I found out that i doesn´t reboot if i do not unlock it. If i unlock it either with sim inserted or not it reboots. WTF???

You don't need to copy anything to your sdcard. Flash back to stock using this.

If you have any CPU apps that apply settings at boot maybe that's causing the reboots
