Help! Problem with rooted phone. - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I rooted my Evo with Unrevoked a few weeks ago. However, my phone has been experiencing major issues. When I shut the phone down and restart it many of my links to programs are broken. I try to download the programs again but i get error messages that the download can not be completed. I have flashed different roms. I have updated the Radio etc. I cleared the data and cache before each flash. I have no idea what the problem is. Can anyone help?

What. Rom and kernel are you experiencing this on? When you say links to programs are you referring to apps?

What programs? please say more about the phone system.

Thank you for your quick replies.
I have flashed Calkulin and MikFroyo. Using the stock kernels for each.
When I click an app it will not open. Like when you uninstall a program on windows and the link to program remains but it will not let you open it because the program no longer exists. "app no longer installed" it also changes the icon to the market icon.

What recovery image did you use to flash the Roms?

Let me double check

Please try to use Amo-Ra is the best. Cm is known to have problems.

So flash this and report back if the problem persists? Thank You

You can actually flash it with Rom Manager App.

It sounds like your phone is not wiping correctly... maybe try caulks format all

Do you have a nandroid backup of your system with your apps? If not, did you restore your apps with something like Titanium? If no to both, you'll need to re-install from the market.

Installation was unsuccessful

So I rooted and flashed my phone with a pre-rooted version of stock 2.2, installed a power saving mod and enabled move any app to sd (adb), installed loads of apps and it worked fine.
I've just gone to install a new app from the market and I can't get it to work. Anyone know of a fix?
Thanks
What app? Did you try clearing market cache and data? Tried rebooting your phone? If not, read and search first, post later.

I had the same problem, first time it say installation unsuccessful, second time it is successful..I think is a problem with the market, google doing some update on it..
I searched and tried some suggestions there. Formatting SD etc. Reflashed the rom and it seems fine now.

Maybe switching ROMs or re-flashing your current ROM will work. Give it a shot, backup your apps of course.

Are they apps that you have ever had installed? Try installing an app that you have never had installed and see if that works. If it does, then use a file explorer (I use astro), and see if there's anything in the folder titled ".android_secure" (without the quotes of course) on your sdcard. I actually had this problem before, and there was some left over app data that was interfering with the installation I guess
geez was hoping this would work but I just checked my astro application and checked android secure and all directories are empty. also this is a problem with applications that I ready have that need to be updated and brand new applications I am downloading from the market... I just get a triangle with an ! in the middle of itfor each application that did not successfully install... and this is a brand new problem haven't done anything different been running the newes t fresh for months now

What is your memory situation?
Froyo apps2sd ? A2sd ?
GO into recovery and clear cache and Dalvick cache.
Try wiping the market data this happened to me couldn't update or install anything and it worked
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Did you install your previous apps from the market or did download apk's then install them? Try Settings>Applications>Manage Clear market cache and data that might work like the other person said. Check your memory. What rom are you using? Try backing everything up then go do a factory reset and then setup up your google account that's what I did when that happened to me months back and seemed to work. Hope I helped

thanks for the help
Does it have an option to connect your apps with the market if not made a backup and just download them it should be fine and np

I'm having a similar problem. After the 2.33 update, it FCs when I chose "My apps". I tried downgrading to several different versions, cleared data/cache, wiped cache/dalvik, but no joy. Now, after I press "accept" on initial start, it FCs. Any help?
Thanks.

Update: I used TiBu, wiped everything again, still no joy. I ended up deleting the Market app from Manage Apps. This left the /system/apps version of Market intact, but unavailable to launch. I rebooted the phone, the /system/apps Market became available in my apps list, and it worked. It then automatically updated to 2.33 again and now all is well.
I had similar problem with my htc evo with cm7 rom after flashing a google add on. As soon as you clicked maket it would try to open but then close right away,I tryed to wipe market data didnt work. Did as you sudgested and wiped catch and dalvik catch and reinstalled rom and the previous add on and no problems after that. Thanks
Question I already had a add on flashed after installing cm7 and tryed flashing another one over the other add on. Is that why I had problems with market?
The main reson I tryed flashing the second add on was After flashing the first one I did'nt have a voicemail app. The voice mails would come in a text with a link to hear the message.
Does anyone know a way to get my voice mail back? Thanks

[Q] Market Issues

I'm on market version 2.3.6. Running gingerbread leak. Most of the time, no apps will download. They stay at "starting download..." And when I click on them while they're stuck at that step, I get "download failed, please try again." Every once in a while it works but its randomly.
The market is one thing that I can't stand. It necessary works. Does anybody know what I should do?

try fixing the permissions on rom manager if you have it
Mine does the same thing at times. Try wiping your Market data under Menu>Applications>Manage Applications>All>Market and see if that helps. Like you said, it's a random thing, especially if you are using a custom market from a custom ROM. The stock ROMs I've used don't seem to have this issue.
that doesnt fix it. The 2.3.6 market isnt custom though. it was pushed to my phone...
i think it was the rom though. i nandroided back to 3.70 and it hasnt had any issues. same market version.

Rydah did you try to move all your apps and delete the android_secure folder? Seems strange that when you did a nandroid back it was fine. Try going back to that nandroid and move all the apps that are stored on the sd card over to the phone. Then browse with a file explorer and delete the android_secure folder and reboot. Then you can move them all back to your sd once rebooted. I've had to do this a few times after flashing new roms because that folder gets corrupted.

Downloading from android market question (easily the weirdest problem you'll see)

Hi XDA, long time lurker, first time poster.
So I rooted my droid incredible yesterday evening. Everything was dandy- I installed CM7. However, this afternoon i stopped being able to use the market application - it would require a force close - both the market app and downloader. I decided to wipe everything, reinstall, and re root and do it again. I installed CM7 again, market wouldn't work. I then did a full wipe, factory reset, cache reset, davlik reset, and installed the newest nightly build of CM7. Still couldn't download from app marketplace.
I now just installed SkyRaider 4.0. I still can't download from the google marketplace on my phone. I can, however, install from the amazon app store, and when I use google's web install interface I can install the google marketplace apps from there (this also works for appbrain).
--I can use the google marketplace and appbrain marketplace on my computer, just not on my phone --
Clearly, the default android marketplace app doesn't work on my phone (and consequently appbrain as it goes through that).
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Brian
Any other apps not working?

Reboot into Clockwork recovery, there is a fix permissions options. If I remember right it is in the advanced section. Run it. It will not hurt anything it will just run script that will run through the files and fix the permission settings on them.
Fixing permissions didn't eliminate the problem.
Did you download the Google apps zip with cm and flash it too? You never mentioned that part. Might be the problem
