[Q] Sense Echange Mail issue - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been jumping around using different Sense ROMs and recently I started having problems with the stock mail app. It will send and recieve emails and I can view the mail in my inbox. When I try to navigate to subfolders (Menu-folders) I get an error message: Sorry! The application Mail (process com.htc.android.mail) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I have tried restoring to older backups and switching ROMs with complete wipes and nothing brings it back. Currently I am running Android 2.2, IncROM 1.6, stock kernal 2.6.32.17-g9afc16. Any thoughts?

Have you tried running fix permissions at all yet?

I have tried that with no success.

I should also mention that I recently came off Ultimate Droid 3.3.0, which is 2.3. I really liked it, but missed the Sense apps, and reliable camera/camcorder.

So, I fixed it. I basically did what I had done over again, except I went into Recovery and manually did the following:
On the front page I:
wiped factory reset
wiped cache
Under Storage and Mounts I:
Formated Boot, System, Data and Cache
Then I did a fresh install of IncRom 1.6
All is good.

Nice, good job! It seems these days that just doing a factory reset/dalvik wipe isn't enough, and you need to go in like you did to make sure things actually get wiped.

Cache & Dalvik Cache wipe has broken boot?

Hi Folks,
I've had my Desire PVT4 a year now, and finally got around to rooting (though didn't attempt S-OFF) and flashing a new ROM a couple weeks ago. I went for InsertCoin HD/Z Port 2.0.1 from this thread. Carried out the SD card prep as required for A2SD, which seemed to work well.
Everything worked nicely for a week or two, then started having random app force closes etc. This morning I decided that maybe clearing the Dalvik cache would resolve these issues. So I went into ClockWorkMod and wiped both the "cache" and the "Dalvik Cache" (in Advanced options).
Turned the phone on, and it just stuck on the initial boot screen.. for 10mins.. then 40mins.. then 2 hours. I hooked up logcat and adb shell and it looks like it's getting stuck in a cycle:
D/AndroidRuntime(): >>>>>>>>>>>>>> AndroidRuntime START <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
.......
.......
W/dalvikvm(): JNI_CreateJavaVM failed.
I've looked at the logs but they don't mean a lot to me - I'm not sure which errors are to be expected and which indicate real issues.
I've attached the logcat output - would appreciate any help in deciphering them!
I find this strange as everything's been working (more-or-less) for two weeks, so why would a cache wipe break it?
Many thanks!
i have this same problem on my DEFY....
i clear(wipe) the cache and dalvik cache and the phone loops in the M logo...
someone help?
Did u move dalvik to SD ext. Partition
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Just clear data and reinstall cyanogen or if u want to keep data then just flash cyanogen ontop of it now but it may happen again. So make a titanium back up of all ur apps then do a fresh install

[Q] Upgraded to Gingervillian 2.4 on HTC Desire. Problem with Dalvik app's force quit

Hi,
Had GV 2.1 running fine but thought i'd upgrade to 2.4. Backed all files up in TP first and installed zip file of 2.4 from recovery mode.
Went fine but SD card said 0mb and lost A2SD. int memory said 4mb instead of 60mb - 100mb like before.
As its been a couple of months since last modding, I forgot what to do so looked up issues and tried going to recovery again and clearing cache and wiping dalvik cache as well as installing a2sd Dark tremor script again which seemed to load fine but still no joy on int memory.
Then remembered last time I moved Dalvik to sd using terminal and this gave me my int memory, so I entered 'su, and A2sd cachepart'. It said successful so rebooted phone.
Then the trouble started. All app's one after the other started force quitting and I couldn't use anything inc terminal or TP. Obviously done something wrong.
Note. I have SD ext 4 for A2SD.
Anyway I've just rebooted to recovery and restored backup I did before upgrading ROM.
Can someone explain in layman's terms what went wrong and exactly what I need to do in order before/after upgrading to GV2.4 please?
P.S
Just booted after restoring from recovery however all personalization has gone. Back to stock gingervillian desktop. All app's and launcherpro gone widgets gone. Downloaded TP root from market again and restored all apps + data but launcher pro isn't there, have had to download from market again.
Gone to TP again and restored missing app's but goes to soft reboot half way through. This is even though the market is working as downloaded TP! The stress!

[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.

This sounds like an Android virus... Did you download anything "suspicious" recently?

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.
No Joy

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] (Status 7 + sd-ext won't mount) Failed to install MIUI, Status 7 on other ROMS

I've been very frustrated lately, and I don't want to go and do something like unroot and clear my
phone without "professional" input. So thanks for your attention.
I have been running albinoman's Jellybean RC3 since it's release. It's been working well for me
but I wanted to try the new MIUI 2.11.9 for my Incredible.
I downloaded and tried installing it through ROM Manager; I wiped the data, cache, and dalvik cache.
It got to the part where it was installing MIUI, then:
Code:
Creating symlinks
symlink: some symlinks failed
E:Error in /somedirectory/blahblah/somezipfile.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
So I cursed it and restored my JB backup.
Then it said something like this in the final part of the restore:
Code:
Restoring sd-ext...
No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext
sd-ext won't mount and isn't visible in cmrecovery. But oddly enough, all of my files can be found in Astro, under sdcard1.
When I booted up, I got the immediate messages that apps like Talk, Email,
and Exchange Services had stopped working. So I disabled them to stop the messages. Facebook wouldn't start, and
ANY app that deals with media fails to load, i.e. Instagram, Camera, Music, Gallery, etc.
(EDIT: Recently I got Google Play to download apps after Fixing Permissions in cmrecovery)
I tried the re-downloading and re-installation of MIUI, and even a fresh RC3, all in CMrecovery, w/ and w/out wipes.
I would've let the failed install go, but it's too frustrating not being able to access my media.
Please Help

Status 7 refers to an error in the rom zip file. Try redownloading it and flashing it again. If it still errors, go to the roms thread and see if others are having the same issue. I no one else has the issue, try flashing TWRP recovery and then flashing the rom with it. Seems some newer roms work better with twrp than with cwm.
The sd-ext thing is normal. You will only have an sd-ext if you specificaly partitioned your sdcard to have one. If you dont have one, cwm will still check and report its backup status, ie "backing up/restoring sd-ext, no sd-ext found, skipping backup/restore of sd-ext".
So are you saying you cant flash any rom or restore a backup without having fc's and app issues?

Thanks cmlusco, for posting.
I just downloaded a fresh .zip of miui for inc off their site, then transferred and installed it all while in TWRP recovery. I got the same Status 7
error, and had to restore my my newest JB backup.
Yes. I can't install new roms, even a fresh jellybean rc3. When I restore, it works, but I still have app issues, and I frequently recieve this error:
"Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped"

It must be an error in the rom file then, probably in the updater script. If you shoot me a link i will download it and see if i can get it to work.
Try formating everything in the mounts and storage menu except emmc and sdcard, and then do your restore. Sometimes wiping just data and cache arent enough.
I tried flashing it, and also got status 7. Gonna take a look and see if i can fix it.

Yeah. Formatted everything in the wipe menu of TWRP except sd and emmc. Tried and failed to install the ROM with the same error.
Restored. Then re-installed cmrecovery to check by formatting in it's mounts and storage menu, but I got the same result.
Let me know how your install goes. I have a bad feeling it isn't the rom file.

After messing with this for a few hrs im sad to say i give up. It has multipul errors, every time i fix one a new one pops up. The updater-script had numerous errors and the system folder is missing a bunch of files.

Thanks for spending time to assist me regardless. I'll figure something out. Though I'm open to anyone else that might some insight or
information regarding this issue.
It's beyond frustrating to me.
Well, fixed all my problems. I just installed Tiny's cm 10. Everything seems golden. Camera's working, gallery's available.:good:
Thanks for narrowing the problem down to the ROM, I know you put some time into that.
