After restoring a nandroid backup (I had an usb brick, fixed with 4ext recovery), I can't delete files from my sd card, neither on fat32 either ext partition. And I'm not talking about system files, I can't delete BT downloads, ie. I've tried reinstalling ES Explorer but doesn't work.
I'm also having the 492 error downloading from market. I assume this is related to the fact that I seem unable to write on phone.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure how, but I solved it. I did this:
(Source:http://www.technipages.com/google-play-download-unsuccessful-error-fix.html)
1. Open Settings.
2. Select Applications.
3. Select Manage Applications.
4. Tap the All tab, then scroll down and select Google Play Store.
5. Select Clear cache.
6. Back out of the screen and select Download Manager (May also be listed as “Downloads”).
7. Select Clear data.
8. Also clear data for Google Services Framework, Google Apps, Google Talk, and Checkin Service. Some users are reporting they had to clear data for the Browser app as well. You may not see all of these apps listed on your particular phone.
9. If market doesn't work now or its seems to be the old market, just restore the app google play aka vending.apk (just app not data) with titanium backup or similar.
This worked, at least for now....ufff.

Just sharing my recent experience and fix after trying nearly everything (except flash Raidroid stockify RUU).
Original Rom, LeeDrOiD 2.2.3 with ext3.
Nan-backup & backup sdcard to pc, flash CWM 3.0.2.8, Remove sdcard at merge partitions with Mini-tool Partition Wizard Wizard and FULL format fat32. Flash CoreDroid, after setting up Google account, WiFi password etc, automatic download app & sync occurred, after a number of apps were downloaded and installed automatically, I was getting the above error for everything. After Download Error, Gmail stuck on “sending”, but able to sync / receive new emails.
I have internet access through both Edge & WiFi.
I have tried the below “fixes” for CoreDroid GB & after reinstalling LeeDrOiD :
Cleared Market cache/data (no option to uninstall updates)
Cleared Download Manager
Cleared HTC Check in Service
Reboot clearing Dalvik in recovery
Edge or WiFi / Airplane
Droidwall is disabled
Fastboot disabled
Updating existing apps or download new (free or paid)
Unmounting sdcard when attempting DL
Automatic update of date & time disabled/enabled. Checked date & time is correct.
Disable in Privacy Settings (Backup my settings & Automatic restore)
Enable Unknown sources in App settings
Market Enabler
Same error if log into Market account on pc and try download app
Battery out for 5 mins
I have no task killers etc.
Same radio, as had not yet flashed a new one for the GB
Flashed CWM 2.5.1.3 , create ext3, FULL wipe, FULL sdcard format in pc and quick format using CWM & restoring various previous CWM backups, and doing the above with/without ext3,
FULL format of sdcard & Full wipe of all partitions again in CWM recovery prior to clean install of LeeDrOiD
FOUND THE FIX!!
Cleared Gmail data/cache along with Market etc !! WooHoo!!
Only have to setup Gmail app settings / preferences again. Don’t know why as worked fine before.
I'm still having problems. I've installed MDJs_ViVO_Sense_v.3.1.1 on my girlfriend's HTC Desire HD as well as my own. I had no problems with mine. My phone was not branded beforehand (I'm on T-Mobile from Carphone Warehouse). Hers however was locked to Orange originally.
Everything works perfectly except for the Market Download Error as mentioned above. Some paid apps reinstalled perfectly instantly, others have failed. They can be sent manually to the phone from Market on a PC by clicking the "Installed" button on the site.
What I don't get, is that on Market on a PC, they show up as installed, but are not on the phone. I have tried clearing data and cache from both Market and Gmail on the phone.
Her phone with error:
ROM - MDJs_ViVO_Sense_v.3.1.1
PHONE - HTC Desire HD
CARRIER - Orange (UK)
ANDROID VERSION - 2.3.3
HTC SENSE VERSION - 2.1
BASEBAND VERSION - 12.28b.60.140eU_26.03.02.26_M
KERNEL VERSION - Unavailable
BUILD NUMBER - -=MDJ's ViVO Sense v.3.1.1=-
SOFTWARE NUMBER - 2.36.405.8
BROWSER VERSION - WebKit/533.1
All my details are identical except my carrier is T-Mobile (UK) and works perfectly.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Try some of the steps above, in particular these in this order;
Disable in Privacy Settings (Backup my settings & Automatic restore) & sync OR delete .lostdir & .androidsecure folders on sdcard
Enable Unknown sources in App settings
Clear market cache
Reboot into CWM recovery & clear dalvik cache
Sign into market again
If you have "Market Enabler" app, try that after doing the above, you will need to give SU permission after you select provider & "fake provider". If not give the above a try first.
Also. it has been suggested to checkdisk your sdcard for errors as well.
Sometimes Google Market is down, so may not be an issue at all.
Edit: If you have Titanium Backup Pro, you have an option: Menu -> More -> Market Doctor
Try after doing the above, can help restore broken market links.
Can anyone point me in the direction of where to get this market enabler app please
If you can DL from market? It's free. If not, let me know and I'll fire up the laptop and attach.
Edit: Here it is attached:

Nice on ta
Thanks, UpInTheAir. I've tried all those steps except step 1, so I'll try them all again including step 1 in that order. Thanks for your time.
It seems that almost all the missing apps have now downloaded and installed, so it would seem that it's a case of waiting for the Market to get round to it. Thanks for your help.

thank you. this finally worked.. i tried every other method out there.
is there a minimum amt of posts needed before i can press thank you button?
i don't see it anywhere!! lol
No worries. You've already said thanks, but to answer your question, you need the premium app (option when long tap) or can also hit the button from pc. Not sure about min number of posts though.
Glad it worked.

Hi,
how can i prevent, that Google Play Downloads all my 200 Apps in my clean new Rom installation...
i have all the time speed issues,
and now i wanna tray, only install needed apps...
but every time i install clean rom,
add my google account, and go into Playstore, the Download starts...
You should have put this under Q&A
after setup google account, I turn off wifi, data to prevent auto download applications form play store and using titanium backup to restore my applications
but this is no Solution...
i also use Titanium Backup,
if i restore 15 apps...
and than i visit the first time Google Play Store,
the other 185 apps starts to downoad...
is there a setting, in Titanium Backup, to prevent Playstore to start the downloads...
Maybe change any ID, that google Play store means, i have an new Mobile
Just deselect the "Restore" option in the "Backup and Restore" page of the Welcome Wizard.
I think that deselecting the Restore won't get you anywhere...
What I've found is that the phone automatically downloads different apps for the sense ROMs and different for non-sense. Since sense has different storage locations than other ROMs I'm sure that data telling the playstore what to download is on the phone and I it should be on the SD card since it's still there after a full wipe. Now all we have to do is find the directory where that data is stored and delete it before we flash a new ROM.
A ROM dev would surely know where this directory is, but I'll try to find it...
If someone knows, do tell us
Play Store downloads the same apps for any ROM, sense or not. There's no difference. And the downloaded apps are stored in the same directory in all Android ROMs which is /data/app. Just not selecting the 'restore from this Google account' option during initial should be enough. Even if Play Store setup starts downloading apps, force stop it and then put back all your apps using Titanium Backup or something like that.

Also there is a option in Titanium backup to detach user & system apps from the Market. I think that after you force stop the market you should do this and solve your problem
Usually when that happens to me, I go to the My Apps page in the market and just press the Stop All button.

I have 2.6gb free, and I cannot install or update any apps. insufficient storage keeps popping up. Is there a fix for this on the Galaxy S4? I am running stock rom and kernel, just rooted.
Have you tried a reboot? Or clearing data on the play store app?
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
yep, tried clearing data and cache from playstore, and google frameworks. Rebooted into recovery, wiped dalvik. Uninstalled and freed up to 4.6gb of space and it still says insufficient storage.
This is a bug that showed up for me in JB and I think it has to do with rooting as well (not sure).
(HINT - The error is really not insufficient storage but this is the only error code that playstore understands...)
But here is the fix-
1. Use a root explorer and go to /data directory
2. (I'm on conference call right now so I cannot verify the dir names but they should be close) Go to the applib and the data directories (/data/applib and /data/data), there ought to be folders of the app that you cannot install, just delete them and go back to the playstore and install the update.
3. If there error still there then, go to /data/app as well, and delete the app completely.
4. WARNING, you will (may) lose the settings for whatever app you have error with, so you may want to backup the app beforehand and then restore the app (data only) after doing all of this.

I used to get such errors even on a custom firmware based off Sprint's stock Evo 3D ice cream sandwich image... wish I would've known this sooner. (I also used app2sd and even though I had like half of my SD card left it would still toss up this error.)
Hello guys, I'm thinking of switching from MIUI to LOS or Syberia. To do that I need to format the /data partition. I really don't want to re-install all my apps again, so is there a way to restore the data partition not as an image, but as file structure? I have TWRP backups but they're images of the partition. Do I need to install Titanium Backup or similar?
What would be the best course of action here?
Thanks in advance!
Try migrate on play store

Play Store indeed has a list of all the apps I have installed. However all the data that's in the app's settings will be gone.
Here's an example - I use a Launcher app. If I re-install it from Play Store, all icon arrangements, wallpaper settings, all other settings within the Launcher will be gone.
What I'm trying to achieve is once the /data partition is formatted, ideally I'll just need to copy paste the data (files and folders) back in again. Partition restore won't work as it will mess up the LOS (or any other non-MIUI OS) installation.
The TWRP backup gives me an image file, which can be extracted to apps and folders, but I'm not sure I can just copy paste that over to the /data folder(partition). Main concern is permissions. Would they be automatically set on OS boot?

Titanium backup is hard to beat. You can copy your back up folder onto your pc and copy it back over after the wipe to restore your app data.

He actually means Migrate as it's an app on Play Store. The app is sort of like Titanium Backup but free.
Sent from my MI 5s using Tapatalk
Thanks, I misunderstood the reply. Migrate indeed looks like the app that will do the job. I'll give it a shot.
Thanks again!
Quick update - I am now on LOS 16 and used Migrate. A few apps gave errors (Telegram is one of them) so I uninstalled and installed them back from Play Store. But that's nothing really. I loaded the launcher amd saw all my icons back where I left them... Amazing!
Bit desparate here, need any assistance.
Out of nowhere, "Media" is force-closing every 2 seconds. Can't read internal storage using any file manager, they all force-close when trying to view internal storage (Mixplorer can read root just fine). (About Device --> Storage) shows system taking 17.1 GB, but "System" is actually taking 236 GB. Phone freezes every minute. Play Store can't launch as if I have no internet connection. Half the apps crash randomly (WhatsApp is fine, Telegram is crashing).
Connecting to the laptop shows the device, correct storage, and I can see all my folders, files, photos and videos, but attempting to copy any of them fails with an error "unreachable".
What I tried so far - apart from hours of searching - was the following:
1. Rebooting multiple times.
2. Disabling all Magisk modules.
3. Clearing data and cache of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework.
4. Clearing data and cache of Download Manager as suggested online.
5. Clearing data and cache of Contacts and Contacts Storage.
6. Apps--> Special access --> All files access --> "Media" --> Allowed.
Interestingly, with OxygenOS 13, there's no more "Media Storage" app to stop/clear. It's now "Media" with no option to force stop or clear data/cache. Also there's no more option to clear cache only in stock recovery, and the "Reset app preferences" is also gone, thanks OnePlus.
Obviously I can't download any file/mod as there's no storage to save it on. I can't even take/save a screenshot for the same reason.
I don't mind resetting, but I need to backup the internal storage to my computer first. Any suggestion is really appreciated.
