App installer not working after root PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello Everyone!
I just rooted using UnRevoked 3.0. I was installing apps on to sd card and suddenly (while installing free spades from Market) the phone just sat there at "Installing spades" and never completed. Even worse now NOTHING installs. Not even the OTA Sprint voice mail upgrade app. What I did notice is that I can't format the SD card, the option button is grayed out. When I try to unmount the card I get this error:
"Sorry! Activity SD & phone storage (in Application Settings) is not responding."
I have the option to FC or wait and if I try and wait, the message just loops. Is there ANYTHING ANYONE can tell me about this. Please, please help!!!!

Try restarting the phone and see if that helps.

restarting doesn't work, re-running Unrevoked doesn't work. I don't know what else to do. Am I just app-less now?

It happens. Sometimes it takes a few hours to go back to normal, at least in my experience. Is it working for you yet?

I encountered a problem similar to this with my Evo. Basically the card stopped working and said I need to format it, but then it wouldn't let me actually format it. I contacted HTC and apparently they had a "bad batch" of the cards and they'll replace it for free, when they have some in stock. My advice would be to contact HTC or Sprint.

Not working yet. But one thing I forgot about is that after I rooted it I also installed "Choose install" from the Market and set the default to the storage card. I wonder if I should try and unroot my phone. I'm stuck there to because if I understand things right I would have to access my sd card to load a new zip file on it in order to unroot. My pc will no longer let me browse my device.

Thanks for the tip. That could be why I can no longer browse the device from my pc. I will give that a shot. Thanks!

You will need access to an SD card to unroot. My advice would be to either buy another one or just borrow a friend's or something. Why do you want to unroot anyways?

I don't really want to, I just thought I would have to do that to try and go back to "stock" or if I'm using the word right, back to the way it was when I got it. I thought it might be my last resort to fixing it. I would still re-root again so I can try and figure out how to get rid of all of sprints bloatware.

Just an update - I bought me a new sd card from buy.com, a 16 gb for about $30. It fixed the problem for a little bit. I started installing my apps, got a good amount of them on there and it happened again! I'm starting to wonder if you just can't install very many apps for this phone or by some odd coincidence I got a 2nd bad storage card????. Weird. I might start a new thread for this but thanks for all you who participated. You rock!

when it's stuck on install can you go to your manage applications option in settings and see if they're all stuck on 'computing' too?
Because this sounds all too familiar.

I have the same issue (seems to have started after I started using modinstallocation). About one in ten times I'm able to get my sd card apps back after battery pulls and multiple reboots, but not this time. When I go to manage apps, all the SD card apps are 'computing'.

[Q] problems trying to get rid of superuser

I am having troble unrooting an evo 4g. I got to the s-on part, but can't get the phone to recognize the PC36IMG.zip file. I've tried a couple of these ruu files, thinking that most of those might not be working properly. The ultimate goal, really, is to get rid of the superuser permissions. I am trying to sent the phone back to Sprint and am afraid that they might see it. I've tried downloading Terminal Emulator. However, everytime i put rm superuser.apk, the response i get is that it can not be done because it's a read-only file. any suggestions?

if the s lock is on you wont be able to get rid of it. How are you trying to get it to read the PC36IMG.zip because if you have it on the root of your sd card and restart into bootloader it will automatically read the zip and ask to flash it if not just do a clear storage and that should solve it

You need to run ruu now that you're S on. As was noted already, the PC36IMG must be on the main directoryof your SD card. Also, make sure the file isn't named PC36IMG.zip.zip. If you're using windows, then the file extension is hidden, and the .zip is already there, just hidden. Therefore, if you add a .zip, then its really there twice. So using windows, it should just look like PC36IMG. Once its named correctly, and on the main directory of your SD card, the bootloader should detect it and ask you to update.

Copy all of the data on your sdcard to your pc desktop and then reformat the card. Now place the RUU file on the root of the sdcard and if the phone doesnt recognize it in the bootloader menu, then it might mean your sdcard isnt "good" enough. I had the same problem with a class 2 card and i had to buy a whole new sdcard for it to work.

I've checked and made sure that the file name is right. When i put the phone in bootloader it doesn't recognize anything. nothing pop up to ask yes/ no.

Like I said, read my previous post. Format the card and try again. If it doesnt work, then try it with another sdcard.

Also, do you think it would be a problem to send in the phone with superuser on it still?
p.s. i tried to get it out after i re-rooted it and the s was off.
Thank you for the helps.

You can't send the phone in rooted period. Flash that unrevoked s-on utility again to get it back to s-on. Borrow somebodies sdcard and put the RUU file on it. Then flash the RUU in bootloader when the phone recognizes it. I STRONGLY believe that its your sdcard acting funny because it happened to me too.

I agree. If the OP is sure the file is on the main directory of his card, and its named properly, yet it wont read it...then formatting the card would also be my recommendation.

i think this should do it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1178912
but anyway..
Somewhere in your very long sentence you mention that your sd-card works fine,
so this is what you do.
Then plug your sdcard in a sd adapter and plug it into your computer
Download this file: This is the original froyo ROM
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12567258/PC10IMG.zip
then place this file in the root of your sdcard and place it back in your phone.
Boot into fastboot by pressing the volume-down button while booting, and install the image (this should go automaticlly)
If you have accomplished this let me know and i'll help you further
good luck

yes i will give this a try and let you know how it goes also to add i still have stock recovery but i noticed if i go in to it and click update from sdcard it gave me an error but im still gunna try this n ill let you kno thanks

Another question to add. About the emmc chip now in my recover being stock recovery as I said be for I did the ota update for ginger bread. I dint have the option to select erase sd card it was blank now after the ota update it apared to be selected. To erase the sd card but the mount option didn't now I came a crost a post in the my touch 4g emmc fix that says the emmc files locate in the poc/emmc folder mite be corrupted now I'm thinking that mite be the proplem. Now if I were to get the non corrupt files for the proc/emmc for my phone and rewrite them over the corrupte files It should fix the problem possible do to a bad ota update or bad partion of the files on the emmc chip ...any body think that could possibly be the problem with the sdcard and usb brick that the phone is having ill get the link and post it here if it hasn't already been posted

I get this E: can't/mount/cache/recovery/command and that's the only error message and yes I have stock factory recovery ...but I can do a factory reset ..my phone boots up fine so possibly this can be fixed as the phone works perfect jus no sdcard can be detected so guessing its the mount partion on the emmc that is coruppted I dnt think its fried kus if it was my phone would be bricked and bootlooping right and unusible... So can I possibly fix the partion or no

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA

well im not the expert on this, quickly skimmed it and if you truly have a corrupt partition of your emmc then this may fix it. dont know if this will work with a usb on our phone but it might, if it requires jtag then thats a whole new box to open.
good luck! hope someone can steer you the right way
oh and if this works and the emmc was the problem root right away, if this were to happen again you would be able to do this (more than likely) just through your recovery

Well I think its a corrupt partion on my emmc kus I had it on 2:2 froyo and the sd card mount and erase sdcard option was unselectible so I checked for an ota update for ginger bread and I did the ota ...to 2:3:4 and after the update went and checked the storage setting agaain and the erase sdcard option became availible but the mount didn't so possible it didn't do somthing right cus assuming it fix the erase option the mount sdcard file mite have been corrupted in the prosses and as for the link I read through it aslo an some were along the lines it says you can use jtag or usb through windows. To flash the files. I jus don't kno how to use the program but i ll need the uncorrupted emmc files from a g2 partion to give it a try

[Q] Unable to mount USB in CWM 5.8.3.1

Hi,
In Mount and storage when im trying to get access to internal memory I get an error 'Unable to open ums lunfile'
Yesterday I thought I have bricked one of my HOX coz my zip with ROM was corrupted (I have not transfer the file in 100% - stupid me) then it took me a while to get a working adb command to push the file on 'sdcard' and finally install the ROM. Its not right that I cant mount the sdcard.. isnt it ...
I was trying to find the answer but I cant find anything clear....
Please help.. I have same problem with both my HOX'es

Why can't you just push with adb..?

CWM recovery doesn't support usb mounting, as you can see from the first post of the CWM thread, so yes that is normal.

As of 5.8.4.0, ClockworkMod supports usb mount. It was released in June. You can still use adb push to put files on your phone if you wish.

Huge problem no drive to transfer no android

Hey guys I got this huge problem...
I was getting lots of errors in the normal usage of my htc, after some updates.
So then i decided to use a custom ROM and it started ok but then crashed and rebooted.
After that I wiped the info from the sd card, but accidentaly erased all of it.
So now I just stay in the HTC screen, not able to transfer files into the sd card, the phone can start still in the clockworkmod window but I dont know how to turn the storage on.
Can you help me here? I just need to transfer files to the sd card, and it doedn't let me.
Windows 7 x64, it says k drive removable disk, drivers installed but its grayed out and won't let me open it. says it is not ready.
And when you click it it says please insert a disk in drive K:
what can i do?

In clockwork, click mounts and storage, then click mount usb storage, does that help?
Will it let you format the storage? If so that will be good enough for you to copy a rom across
If it doest, flashing an Ruu will definitely put everything back to how it was.

Mount sd card in cwm
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium

You will need CWM 5.8.4.0 or newer.

Won't let me do anything you suggested.
results:
mount usb storage: E: Unable to open ums lunfile (No such file or directory)
formatting does work, it formats all cache, data, sdcard and system properly.
mount /sdcard gives the same result as usb storage.
and its version 5.8.2.7
Thanks, I hope something else could be done =S

Use this latest CWM Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24738635&postcount=1
5.8.2.7 is outdated version.

Wish I could, now the battery is dead as well, I'm leaving it to recharge during the night, I hope it works.
Thanks a lot guys, and I wish someone has another solution =S I'm getting desperate here

Yes but as I just said... it won't let me charge the phone, so installing that now is not possible, I already tried, I'm now trying to charge it but since the version I have installed is bugged it won't allow charge to go into the battery. that's why I asked for another solution, not that it was wrong.
Sorry if I didn't make myself clear, after I manage to charge it I think I can go from installing the clockwork then mounting the sd and finally flashing the RUU as sugested, but right now I can't even charge the phone.

There was a thread in this section somewhere with a solution to force the phone to charge (I think it was a script using adb which would force the phone to keep rebooting so it would charge a tiny bit each time until hours later it got to a reasonable charge), but you'll need to search because I can't find it at the minute. It was from a few months ago...

Great help man! It's working now.
I saw that thread before I remember but tried it and it didn't work, combine the 2 and it does work. I just needed to make it turn on with the manual stuff and then use the batch file, now its charging a bit. Hope it charges enough to flash it.
Thanks a lot man!
