[Q] UIDs on the system are inconsistent - happened to me :(

Well, to my wife's phone anyhow. I had installed CWM recovery and was fixing permissions because I had had a couple of minor issues, but while it was doing its job the battery fell off (duh...) and now I'm getting the infamous error.
I have searched high and low and all I can do -it would seem- is to do a factory reset? Or is there some pearl of wisdom I've missed?
Thanks!
PS Ah yes, forgot to say I've fixed permissions through CWM several times now, problem persists...

Hey... I had this error too..had to factory reset then it was gone

Yeah, that's what I did, too. Somebody should try and make a tool for this issue...

UIDS errors, factory reset and more
I have flashed the 2.3.6 and I started to get some problems of instability with some programs that where crashing, so I reinstalled again the 2.3.6 but I think without removing the roots rights...
From that time I get the famous sentence "Uids .... I'm feeling lucky"
Now most of the programs are not working and crashing, I cannot use the market, I've been trying to factory reset, but I got this error while rebooting after factory reset:
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl10
E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11
data wipe failed
the the phone rebooted, give same sentence "Uids...." and if I try to connect to the pc and try to delete file from the internal SD card it deletes, but when I reboot the mobile the files are always there.
It seems I have not the rights to modify anything on the partition
Anybody has some clue?

I had the same problems and I had to reset the phone to factory settings.
But after that I fixed this I discovered this app Fix Permissions from Stephen (Stericson). I installed this app just in case.
I think it may be fix the problem without CWM or else a factory reset will do.

I cannot install anything the market is not working and I cannot copy any file on the internal sdcard.
Exactly I can copy files or even format the partition but when I reboot the device the partition, files, directory are always there like I've done nothing.

Insufficient Space/Invalid Package File

I've been having this issue for the past couple of weeks and I don't know how to resolve it. At first I thought it might have been my ROM so I wiped everything clean and flashed a new ROM but the problem still exists. I read on a forum that the cache partition could be full so I used Terminal Emulator to check the disk usage and I'm reading that my /cache is 98% full. I also have a dalvik cache in the cache folder as well as a dalvik cache in my /data folder both of which are close to 300mb in size. I tried to clear the cache and dalvik cache in recovery before resorting to the full wipe and each time both cache rebuilt themselves. I'm completely at a loss and I'd really appreciate some help with this issue. Thanks in advance.

So you're out of space? Perhaps you have several backups from CWM taking up all the room. They are pretty large files. I myself keep my stock backup and my most recent, the rest of them rest on my pc.
Sent from my Blazing ET4G

thats not the case here. i dug around a bit and saw that my cache and dalvik cache are 98% full. as stated earlier i tried deleting the dalvik cache but it regenerates itself. i looked around in titanium backup and saw an option to integrate some of the cache to the system. i enabled that and it moved around 150 items around and freed up some space. i'm still around 88% full and i know this problem is gonna rear it's ugly head very soon so I'm trying to install programs like link2sd and as2d+. none of these programs are working though...they all require partitioned sd cards (which i have) but none of these programs are seeing the partitioned card. i've tried repartitioning under recovery but that does absolutely nothing. anyway e4gt users can take advantage of these programs?

I had the same issue and it was driving me crazy. I just downloaded Cache Fixer and ran it and now I am good. Turns out my cache was 95% full, wiped it using that tool and I can now update and download.
I want to add that after it cleared, I could update but some of the other apps on the phone did no work (Google Music and Dolphin Browser to nae a few). I re-boot and the cache is back to pre clearing levels and no other issues. It does temporarily fix the isse bt I do not have a permanent fix.
If anyone has one, I would love to know what that may be.

i just want to say that I am having the same exact issue and performed the same steps the OP did. Only when I wipe the cache with cache fixer it everything forces closes so i can't update anything. So i am really stuck.
The only success that I have temporarily is uninstalling the app then resinstalling it. But thats not a permanent solution and sucks for apps like beautiful widgets.
PLEASE HELP

unable to format sdcard in cwm

I'm basically trying to move to the dalvik cache to my sd card for space reasons. I'm trying to format my sdcard for use with link2sd and other programs like it but I'm unable to do so in cwm. whenever i choose partition sdcard, it gives me the dialog like it does it correctly but nothing actually happens. I tried to partition the card on my pc but none of the link2sd programs recognize it. its as if the only thing those programs recognize is the internal storage and to my knowledge I can't do anything with that. if i can do it manually and avoid using the programs that'd be awesome. can anyone point me in the right direction?

...I'm kind at a loss for why you would want a virtual machine cache on an sd-card and not emmc. Perhaps I am 'not getting it'...care to explain?

i've had this problem for a couple of weeks now...downloads from the market over a certain size just won't go through. "insufficient space" "invalid package file" errors like those would pop up. i went to term. emulator and to check the mount sizes and my dalvik cache was 98% full. in titanium backup i saw an option to "integrate sys dalvik into ROM". i enabled that and it moved over 150 items from the dalvik to someplace in the system. that cleared up some space and now i'm only using 82% of the dalvik and i'm able to download and update from the market like normal. i know this problem is gonna come back and i'm trying to avoid it by moving the dalvik to the sd card where the space is plentiful.

I've never encountered this problem...I flash like crazy...I also migrate over all of my apps via TB...so...I have like 4 or 5 phones worth of apps following me around from rom to rom.....I don't have many big apps, so, of course YMMV--and likely will--but....perhaps this isn't, in fact, the actual problem but a symptom of another problem.
Have you had this issue with multiple roms? When was the last time you did a full wipe? On every phone I have either the stock rom or my favorite rom that I always go back to, no matter what, more than any other rom.....via nandroid....and I have never encountered this problem....any other customizations we should know about?

I've never had this issue before. I'm on the latest Calkulin ROM since I've switched from my HD2. This is the first time I've had this error pop up and I resolved it by moving some things around in the dalvik and freeing up some space. As stated earlier TB moved around 150 items and afterwards I was instantly able to download/update from the market. I don't really customize my phone other than the random theming here and there. I've switched ROMs back and forth to see if it was in fact the ROM and not something I did but the issue came back as soon as I restored my backed up apps via TB. I'm guessing the cache filled up with the data from the apps that are backed up with TB.

Here's one solution/quick fix: manually delete your dalvik cache with a file manager and then just flash an odexed Rom: Then your space issues would be solved, and there's not the issue of Dalvik taking up any room in the first place.

...and I have always preferred odex'd roms. makes sense.

so there's no way of installing the programs mentioned in the first post?

CM supports init scripts, right? Download Calkulin's ROM from the Dev section, extract it and check system/etc/init.d for a dalvik2cache (going by memory here, might not be the exact name) script. Might be able to use that.

[Q] SGH-T989 frozen in time, advice requested, any ideas?

Hello, everybody. I have a T-Mo SGS2 SGH-T989 that's frustrating me, and I'm hoping one of you might understand what's happening and how to fix it. Its software seems to be frozen in time. Every time I reboot it, no matter what I've done to it, it opens on the homescreen I had in place as of last Thursday (6 September). As soon as it boots it downloads updates for every app that's had an update come out since then. Any apps I have tried to install since then give me a "could not be downloaded due to an error. (492)" message, and any already-installed apps I delete magically reappear unchanged as soon as I reboot. Not only that, but all the app cache data is frozen in time, too; Poweramp opens with the player cued to the middle of a track I had last listened to over Bluetooth in my car last Thursday, the Kindle app opens to a page within a book I had read last Thursday, etc. I can't make any permanent changes to my phone for no obviously apparent reason, though it's for the most part functional. To top it all off, though, after being powered on for a few hours, apps start randomly force closing until I reboot it again! I've been running essentially the same software environment on it for a couple of months, and up until last Thursday it was rock-solid reliable. I'm not a complete n00b, but I don't have nearly as much time as I'd like to devote to progressing beyond rank amateur status, and having my phone not completely functional is bugging the spit out of me. I've been trawling this and other forums as much as I can since then, and I can't make head or tail of this problem. Anybody have any ideas?
I've already tried wiping the cache and dalvik cache, I've tried restoring a backup from cwm, I've tried doing a factory reset and data wipe, I've tried darkside super wiping it, I've tried flashing new recoveries, I've tried to update the firmware through Kies, I've tried to flash it back to stock with ODIN, and I even downloaded the Android SDK so I could open an adb shell over USB and chmod all the file permissions to read/write! I keep encountering error messages in cwm and adb saying error mounting /sdcard, error mounting /sd_ext, error mounting sdcard/android.secure, etc. What really blows my mind is that everything seems to be working just fine in ODIN while I'm flashing it - until the phone reboots and shows me exactly the same environment it had before I flashed it. I had avast! Anti-Theft installed, and I disabled its device administrator privileges and uninstalled it before I made any of these attempts to fix it, but it keeps reappearing too. I'm at a loss.

Yeah what he said.. You could always try a virus scan, however I have heard they aren't that reliable.. Easiest fix would be get a warranty replacement and be done with it.

Oh, dear.
I wouldn't have thought I had downloaded anything especially sketchy. I won't install an app unless it's got a lot of positive reviews, but I suppose that's no guarantee of absence of malware. The trouble with sending it in for warranty service is, I've voided my warranty by rooting it and installing a custom ROM, and I can't flash it back to stock.

If you already have a back up try this out. Format system, Format data, Format cache. Wipe cache partition, Wipe dalvik, Wipe data/Factory Reset. Do all these twice not once but twice then reinstall backup rom and reboot. See if this fixes the problem.

Creating a backup was the first thing I did after I rooted it, so I did what you suggested. The first four steps went well enough:
Reboot to recovery ---> mounts and storage ---> format /system ---> Yes - Format ---> Done. (x2)
mounts and storage ---> format /data ---> Yes - Format ---> Done. (x2)
mounts and storage ---> format /cache ---> Yes - Format ---> Done. (x2)
wipe cache partition ---> Yes - Wipe Cache ---> --Wiping cache... Formatting /cache... Cache wipe complete. (x2)
When I went to wipe dalvik, I got this error the first time:
advanced ---> Wipe Dalvik Cache ---> E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
So I tried it again, and it seemed to work:
Wipe Dalvik Cache ---> Dalvik Cache wiped.
Just to be sure, I tried it a third time and got the error again:
advanced ---> Wipe Dalvik Cache ---> E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]
After several more tries, it seems to be alternating back and forth between telling me it works and giving me an error message, so I moved on:
wipe data/factory reset ---> Yes -- delete all user data --->
It seemed to partially work, but also gave me an error:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android.secure...
Error mounting /sdcard/.android.secure!
Skipping format...
Data wipe complete.
I tried it again three more times and got the same results, error mounting /sdcard/.android.secure. Moving on, I tried to restore a backup:
- backup and restore ---> restore ---> E:Can't mount /sdcard (x4)
The thought occurred that it might be trying to access an external SD card rather than internal storage, so I re-installed the one I had removed prior to mucking about trying to wipe things and tried again:
- backup and restore ---> restore ---> Couldn't open directory. No files found.
This was new, so I went back to the wipe data/factory reset step:
wipe data/factory reset ---> Yes -- delete all user data --->
This time it seemed to work without any errors:
-- Wiping data...
Formatting /data...
Formatting /cache...
Formatting /sd-ext...
Formatting /sdcard/.android.secure...
Data wipe complete. (x2)
Since that seemed to work, I repeated all steps from the beginning and moved on to the restore step:
- backup and restore ---> restore ---> Couldn't open directory. No files found. (x2)
I tried the restore from internal sdcard option:
- backup and restore ---> restore from internal sdcard ---> Couldn't open directory. No files found. (x2)
I then tried the "- advanced restore" and "- advanced restore from internal sdcard" but with the same results ---> Couldn't open directory. No files found. (x2)
Then I rebooted it:
- reboot system now --->
And yet again, it behaves as though it's been powered down since Thursday before last.

Q TWRP Cannot wipe data/factory reset due to multiple lost+found folders

Using TWRP 2.6.3.0, I'm unable to wipe data. Every time I try, I get
"wiping data without wiping /data/media
E: error opening '/data/lost+found'
done."
I excluded the nonessential bits, if anyone wants a full log (something something partition details), I can make one.
I using ES File Explorer with root explorer on, I checked out /data and found two lost+found folders, which I think is causing my issue. I've tried deleting just one, but a second one is automatically generated. If I delete them both, then they're automatically recreated as well. If I delete them both and then remake one immediately after, another one will be remade.
I also checked the rest of the /data folder, and I did not find any lost+found files, so I'm pretty sure it's just the folders messing things up
I checked this thread, but I didn't find anything useful
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39497772
I ended up here after I accidentally wiped my internal storage with TWRP. I went from a 4.3 AOSP rom to 4.1.2 stock (HD RLS16). I wiped the 4.3 rom, but I think I accidentally wiped internal storage then as well, or maybe something was messed up with TWRP because the storage folder for 4.3 isn't in data/media (or at least not for the rom I was using). After that I used hyperdrive, which was super buggy with Gapps and didn't work at all. After adding an account, everything kept force closing, and things were extremely slow and took minutes to open, even after removing the account and wiping cache+dalvik.
I thought it had to do with the rom, so I went and wiped stuff, then went to CM 10.1.3 stable, but that didn't boot at all, so I tried wiping again and going to liquidsmooth 2.9, which is where my problems started again. I attempted to wipe again and go back to cm10.1.3. The wipe failed, but cm10.1.3 worked.
any ideas on how I can fix this? I was unable to find help on google.

Anytime you get that error format data (the one where you type yes) the folder gets corrupted and a format fixes it.

This has happened to me twice and the only solution i have found was to wipe internal storage. unfortunately i wasnt able to backup my internal storage before wiping so eveything i had on my phone was erased. Everything in your external is safe you dont have to worry but if you had important files or anything that you wouldnt erase on your internal storage then that is very unfortunate.
As for me, i now backup everything maybe like once a month or so, just in case something like this happens again.

Its happened to me also and I could not resolve it without the wipe, that was the only viable solution that worked for me.

Although if you're using twrp I just found out you can still save some of your precious files.
How? Simple
You can go into recovery and into the file manager. I think it's in settings or advanced I'm not sure. But I know that is built into twrp. So then just go into your internal storage and select the files and move them to the external storage.
If it's your first time using the file manager then you'll have to get used to it because it's not 100% noob friendly
And remember the bigger the file the longer it'll take to move so just be patient.

Use AromaFM!
search bar will serve you..

Thank you very much, saved my life today!

Can i get some help please. I cant format data via TWRP, it says "E: unable to wipe data, unknow fle system, auto, unable to format to remove encryption". I did not put any encryption. What to do?

Have you tried using different versions of TWRP to wipe?
