[Q] Insufficient storage available-Installation errors & other aggravations?

Hey all, I've been getting "Insufficient storage available - Installation errors" on my EVO 4G eventhough I have a 32GB sdcard (but only 30MB of internal storage & yes I've moved all existing installed possible apps to sdcard, cleared caches & unmounted-remounted sdcard), what's the best way to resolve this?
I'm still running 2.2 unrooted but considering rooting soon & maybe cm7 or other rom but I'm not sure I want to risk issues when I need it working..
Also notice it is slow to respond upon reboot, maybe due to apps trying to update but encountering the insufficient storage available installation error..
-Appreciate helpful replies

BumpBump..

Dude you need to be rooted and switch rom bc stock evo don't allow you to place Apps on sd card, even with the apps2sd application

You can try formatting your sd card. Also you should obtain S-OFF asap while you still have 2.2. I read a few threads about people's phones auto updating and now they are SOL!! Even if you don't flash a new rom you can get S-OFF b4 its too late. Get S-Off and ruu back to stock at least...

Not true. It just doesn't let you move all of them.
OP, rooting is going to give you some options, notably the ability to use an ext partition for your apps and/or dalvik cache. How many apps do you have? Even if every app were movable to SD (which of course it isn't), dalvik cache will eat up space on your /data partition. This is basically an optimized version of each installed application's code, and it can eat up as much as 1-2 MB per app. It's not listed in the app's storage usage under Settings -> Applications, and you can't do anything about it if you're not rooted.
Of course, another thing to look at is whether any apps are using excessive amounts of data. For example, I use Good messaging from work, and I have to clear data about once a month because the app accumulates data that never goes away. There's no option to purge or limit the amount of email it stores locally from within the app, and it stores big log files too.

Dude I'm on kings Alliance and I have 150 Apps with room for more. Come to the alliance and don't worry again

This phone should've had more space for apps anyhow. Lol

I tried a new card today, same crap, I have about 100 apps..

Totally agree especially since it was originally released with 2.1, I got it the day the Nexus S was released which I seriously considered but since I use it a lot for Nav preferred EVO's larger screen & louder speaker.
I've been tempted to root & custom ROM since even before I got it but every time I read about brick risk I become less inspired to try it until I have another device I like as much as the EVO 4G..honestly what is the brick risk?
BTW, people keep telling me how much better the battery life is on cm7 etc, is there are a comprehensive chart of all the ROMs & battery life-feature set?
-Thanks

Very, very low. I can't say there's no risk, but as long as you follow the instructions, it's very low. I personally used Unrevoked back in the day. As others have mentioned, since you're still on 2.2, you should do it. Once you take the OTA update to 2.3, it's game over on rooting for now. You can even just root but leave the stock ROM on there. Just get S-OFF while you can.

the way i see it you have to purposely want to mess up your phone when it comes to rooting as long as you you got a recovery yer good

Ugh i have the same issue.

Yet every time i try to install an app from the market OR even an APK on my SD card I get the insufficient storage space available.
I am rooted and on Synergy ROM but have never had this issue before. if ANYONE knows how to fix this that would be great. I can't even finish my restore from Titanium Backup.

Hmmm rooted with space & you still have this ?

I think ive answered this question 10 times already .
All you have to do is install a task killer...kill all apps...then go download and install your app.
This always works for me
The error is memory..not storage

Its weird. First time I came across this I was trying to flash a recovery through terminal emulator.
I got this read memory error. Thay totally screwed my recovery.
It was fixed by killing all apps then installing the recovery.
Have you tried installing your apps right after a reboot??

Yup on trying to install apps right after reboot, it may have worked a couple times but doesn't work consistently now..
It's lame that the EVO only came with 1GB internal storage, I refused to get it until 2.2 in part because when it released with 2.1 you couldn't even natively run apps off microSD so you would have to rely on that whopping 1GB. I didn't anticipate having this issue with 2.2.
I still love my EVO but this is aggravating. Before I would try to root-customROMs I'd try to delete some non-essential apps, any suggestions on how much storage room to shoot for?
I didn't expect to still be unrooted stock 2.2 at this point but I may be more pissed if something went wrong than psyched with the added freedom-at least until I see my next phone in the market I like more than the EVO..

So my EVO became so unresponsive part of me wanted to take a bat to it, I had to remove the battery, reboot where it was still ridiculously slow, saw that my storage was down to 500k..
I deleted a couple apps & got it back up to 40MB, was able to update an app without this error but couldn't download another where the error occurred again. After another reboot was still getting a Low on space Notification but at least the EVO was useable again except when trying to open the Market-just hangs..
Considering backing everything up & doing a factory reset (& even dumping Android if the next iPhone is cool enough-but probably not )
I still can't believe HTC only put in 1GB internal storage for an otherwise great phone, EVO 3D is pretty cool but its speaker seems quite weak compared to EVO..
Thoughts?

Upgrading to GB

Hi all,
I really hope someone can help and I am sorry if I am being an idiot on this but a while ago, I rooted my HTC Desire HD and installed the LeeDroid rom, from this site.
I have had this for a while now and have just decided to upgrade it to Gingerbread so I can install some of the latest rom sets but every time I try to upgrade I get issues:
Downloaded the update via the phone. When it runs and tries to install, it just comes up with a triangle, with an exclamation mark in it and the droid icon next to it. It never gets further than that.
I have grabbed the relevant file from the htc developers site and ran that but it came up saying that it could not update the rom file and to download the right one (triple checked this)
I have done a complete factory reset , so the phone is as was originally.
Has anyone got any idea how I actually get my phone to android 2.3?????
Been out of the phone hack scene for well over a year now so treat me as a newbie if needed lol
I'm pulling my hair out now. Could it be something in the LeeDroid rom set that is causing this?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help

Shouldnt you get thr gingerbread update from settings>about phone?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

If your rooted let alone running a custom rom you cannot install an ota. If you want gb you can either flash an ruu or my recommendation install a new custom rom

Well eventually tried to install the latest LeeDroid Rom set, which I believed would have gingerbread already packed in to it but it just came up with Installation Aborted all the time.
After many factory resets, my Desire HD now won't boot past the HTC screen at all. I've tried everything but nothing gets me past that point.
Any ideas on this issue or is my phone well and truly bricked now???

Are you able to go into recovery from hboot?
If yes simply download a rom and reflash. Maybe it was a bad download the first time. Or if you have a backup made do that.
If you have no recovery you can flash an ruu or pd98 file from hboot. I made a guide for this just search for threads I've started

Yes I can boot in to recovery but I have a mini SD card in the phone, so I assume I need to get that attached to my pc somehow and pop another rom on it and run install from clockwork yeah?
If that's the case, I have to seriously find the standard SD car adapter from somewhere.
I'll report back later as I have to go out now for the day. Appreciate your patience on this mate.

No need for an adapter. Should have mention this before. Within cwr you have a setting to mount the SD card.(mounts and storage). So you mount it, transfer rom, unmount,then full wipe,maybe also format system,cache dalvik, and flash rom

Exactly what marsdta said. Boot into recovery, but download a rom before that and place it into root of your SD card. From recovery wipe data and cache, select install zip from SD card and off ya go. Initial boot after flashing ANY rim may take 5 or 6 minutes so bear with it. Everything you need to know about proper flashing can be found here, just look.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

OK happy to be looked at as stupid here but how can I transfer a rom to my SD card when it's in a phone that won't boot up????
I assumed I would need to put it in to an SD card adapter and then pop in to my computer.
Are you saying that, once I mounted the sd card in CWR, my computer should see it, even though the phone won't boot???

Correct. Once you mount it in cwr your PC will be able to see it

OK I downloaded, what I considered to be a Stock rom for the HTC Ace, which is also the desire, copied to sd card and then tried to install. This is what I got:
Installing /sdcard/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC etc etc etc.zip
Finding Update Package...
Opening Update Package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/RUU_Ace_Gingerbread_S_HTC etc etc etc.zip (Bad)
Installation Aborted.
Honestly, I thin kI need a direct link to a ROM that should work. :-(

From the looks of it your trying to install a ruu zip from recovery which you can't do. Those are flashed through hboot.(must be named PD98IMG)
if you want the stock feel but without the bloat and better optimized I would say to try cleardroid.

Sent from my HTC Desire HD with Beats Audio using XDA App

OK Popped PD98IMG on to my SD Card and booted to CWR and it automatically picked up on it. It tested the image file for a while, then said loading and then, after about 4 minutes, it went back to the recovery screen.
What now?
Everything I seem to be throwing at this phone either says bad image or Installation Aborted

did you read my last comment? You can't flash a pd98 from cwr.
If you want to go the pd98 route you need to place the file in the root of your SD card.(not in a folder) boot into HBOOT. it will scan and ask to lad it press up to accept

If you're being a **** then you're being a helpful one.
Read my last post too. It's what it did. It scanned the P98 image and then said loading but I got no prompt to accept anything. It quickly says parsing P98IMG then it just goes back to the recovery screen.
I'm only going down the P98 route because that's what a lot of forum threads say is best to do, if you're having issues like mine.
I will try to find the cleardroid one you mentioned and see if that works

You said cwr in your post. That's why I said what I said.
When it fails to parse it could be two things the download was bad or your SD card is acting up. You could try to redownload the pd98 and try again
Just to clarify. Hboot is the white background.

Cwr is with black background.
Are you able to enter cwr? Or just hboot

Yes can enter both. White screen to start with and then the black one when I hit recovery.
Would it be a benefit for me to format the SD card via CWR screen and pop the image back on there?

Ok just wanted to make sure we were on the same page as hboot and cwr are not interchangeable.
I was going to suggest that too but you beat me to the punch. Reformat then try the pd98.
I would try a custom rom. But that's just my preference. I forgot what XDA section I was in. Cleardroid is an inspire rom not sure if it will work for.dhd. you van try android recvolution seems to be a popular one. I'm more of a cm fan, so.you can try that if you so.choose

OK I think I will end today, for me at least with a simple question:
Can you recommend a custom ROM that will take me up to gingerbread at least or do I have to do something different to get me there, as I think the LeeDroid one I have is Froyo?
Sorry, wrote this after you had responded

[Q] Flash nightmares and figuring out the aftermath

Hey everyone,
Sort of an odd problem here. So I've been flashing ROMs for over a year without only a few scares and oopses. Recently, I tried to use
the in-ROM updater, and it crashed the phone. Then after being unable to reboot the phone or get into CWM, I tried to use a one click restore
to get back to stock and then install the update through CMW. But something went wrong with ODIN and the phone became unrecogizable by the computer. Long story short, after hours of reading, the phone went to Sprint, where i was handed a new phone.
Got home, stuck in my old microSD card, to restore my data from my Nandroid. I rooted the phone, installed CMW, installed Blu Kuban with no issues. BUT THEN, I restored my data. It took a long time...like almost half an hour. The majority of that time on the MD5 check. The phone seemed to work fine. Then, in the middle of launching an app, it crashed...and it crashed HARD. But I could get into CMW. Any attempt to wipe did not help. I reinstalled the ROM, it would fail in the middle. The only way to break out of this and make progress was to throw a DIFFERENT ROM on the microSD and install that. I got Kuban back on, restored my data, and had it crash again, same symptoms, same problems. My question is: Could all this be caused by a corrupt nandroid? If it isn't that, what is causing all of this?
HELP!!

hint, stop restoring your data lol.
But yeah, def your data(probably). Try installing a rom and without restoring your data(after a full wipe) and go from there

Agreed, consider your restore toasted. Wouldn't the first fail or two deter you from trying to restore anymore? Haha, no offense or anything.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

Well it all just seems so mysterious. The latest is that rather than restoring data, I did a full restore. Then I updated to the latest zip in CWM. The phone ran fine most all day.....and then crashed and burned again. I'm wondering if it could be a disagreement between the Tegrak program and the kernel? I'm going to try to do a full restore and, while it's still on the old version, uninstall Tegrak, then update and see what happens. Why do you suppose the data is passing the MD5 test if it's corrupt? Any input is greatly appreciated.

Okay, got it up and running again. Uninstalled Tegrak and I'm not going to update to the latest and see what is what. If I were to install Titanium and do an app backup while it's still running, would that suffer from the same corruption as Nandroid backup? I'm assuming doing a Android backup of it while it's running would do nothing to address whatever corruption is there?

Titanium pro can pull apps and data from nandroids btw.

I would suggest odin back to stock then reformat you sd card from within settings/storage/unmount ext sd/format then start fresh. Reroot, reinstall CWM, do a fresh install of all your apps from the playstore then do your backups. I have heard of new phones having conflicts with sd cards maybe that will fix your problem

He is right some times that's the best way to go. Also along with titanium backup I use rom toolbox to back up apps. It backs up the actual apk so its the fastest way to start fresh.

Titanium backs up the actual apk too. Just when restoring choose app only.

TiBu also makes a flashable zip of your apps now too that you can just flash in recovery

So after Titaniuming things after a restore I waited to see if the phone would crash. Sure enough, it did. So I did one click Odin back to stock rooted I27. Added CWM. Then after a double wipe, flashed Blue Kuban 1.5.1. Then installed Titanium, restored my apps, signed back into Google....etc, etc.....and, on the way to the gym it CRASHED AGAIN. HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE? What could possibly have come with the phone? Does my particular phone just not play nicely with this ROM? Any suggestions would be appreciated. My next experiment is to go from stock again and install a different ROM, restore apps, and see what happens. If that crashes too I don't know what to think.

Did you reformat your sd card?

No. Is doing the X2 wipe in CWM not enough? How would I do that? Anyway I could keep the MASSIVE downloads from various games? If I shifted them to my harddrive and then moved them back?

Transfer your games to your pc, then go to settings/storage/unmount ext sd card/ then it will give you the option to format

also, seeing as this saga started on a different phone...and obviously that SD card is no more, I don't understand how it could be that. Or are you suggesting it's an issue with the external microSD?

Clean install of Venum's ROM....crash. My final test is a restore of system ROM....but I am beginning to suspect that the replacement phone they gave me at Sprint is faulty. Because now it obviously has nothing to do with a corrupt backup. Anyone have any last minute suggestions?

Note 2's storage chock full of unidentifiable junk

So I wanted to upgrade my rom today, and first I was going to just dirty flash it, so I tried to do a nandroid first... so I did that, but couldnt find the file anywhere in the phone's storage. After this, my phone only had 700mb free, when prior to that, the phone was only half full. I thought okay, now I did it, let me just wipe the whole damn thing and start over.
I did this, three times, but for some reason on an utterly fresh install (Jedi Rom X13 if it matters) following all of the directions, my phone's 10gb of storage is over 7gb full.... what is going on here? Can anybody help?
edit: also, the phone keeps going black and I have to pop the battery to work with it again. This is on two separate installs.. I don't know what happened to my phone

Lil more info::
What did you perform the back with?
What did ya do right b4 the back up?
Another thing is, if you have games that download large files then that'll also fill up you memory!!! I have 2 games equaling 3 gigs alone.
Sounds like time to perform a internal wipe!!! Since your having problem's.

Performed the wipe with clockwork. Not sure what version. Did nothing noteworthy prior to the backup. An "internal" wipe is what I thought I was doing... factory wipe from clockwork, format system, flash new rom, wipe dalvik. What am I missing?

Sounds like you are not wiping the internal sd card. All your game data and stuff from internal sd does not get wiped when you perform a "clean install", cache, d cache, format system etc. Make you go in internal sd and back up all your personal data before selecting to wipe sd.

I've found in the past, at least with using TWRP, that I have to do a factory reset AFTER I install the ROM via recovery. I have no idea why this is but doing cache, internal memory, and factory resets PRIOR to doing the ROM update doesn't always wipe the internal memory. Strange behavior, but anyway after you install the ROM, go back in to recovery mode and perform a "factory reset".

EVERY time I've installed a ROM with a clean install, I've never had this problem, but in this particular case, in addition to doing a factory reset, format system, flash rom, clear cache, clear dalvik, I had to also format sdcard... neeeeever had to do that before, but this time I did.... whatever. Phone has jammed up a little here and there, but I haven't had to pop the battery to reset, and battery life seems okay at the moment. Hopefully things go smoothly from here. It was a frustrating day yesterday, which actually ended up in the destruction of my Nexus 7... I needed to drive to a friends house, needed navigation, phone was out of service, so I brought the N7, then dropped it going into my car .... but at least my phone works now.... thanks again for the help.

4.4.4 tmobile update

Ok I recently manually checked for update on my rooted S4 and for my surprise it said and diwnloaded a 4.4.4 SO update, but I cant seem to find where was this file downloaded to.
1.- Does anyone knows wherr was this file downaloded to?
2.- the OS downloaded warns of a Knox 2.0 that may disable some of my apps or something like that.
Can someone help? Is there a stock rom that I can download thatbis already rooted and stable?
Also does anyone knows of a good custom recovery, I currently have twrp and I hate it cause everytime that I erase or restore the phone, everything remains in the phone exept user info but folders prevoiusly created remains there. So basically the phone doesnt factory restore. :'(

1) It's better to just download the stock NH7 from general section and flash with Odin.
2) Yes there are ROMs like that
And for your last question, factory resets are supposed to do that. They wipe the user data except the internal SD.. There is an option to wipe the internal SD in twrp and in any other recovery

I'm torn between updating to NH7 from the MDL bootloader or keeping it like it is until the Note Edge comes out and jumping to it. Don't know what I want to do but I will say I feel performance wise being on the MDL bootloader I feel I'm sacrificing speeds, abs oddball problems associated with not upgrading.

Having the MDL bootloader, someone might find it more valuable if you decide to sell it. Because it is KNOX free You never know. But if you plan to keep it and just want to get rid of it, updating would be better.

Actualy no, when I had my sensation with CWM I remember factory resetting the phone through the regular phone reset setting and it used to boot into recovery and do it by itself. And also deleted all user data, and all previously created data and folders.
So, going from this can you tell me where or under what settings in the recovery is the option to erase the internal sd card, cause I remember the last time a did choose something like that the phone didnt pass the boot logo and I had to reinstall, re-root and everything again, redo everything again and thats time consumming.
Thanks for your response bro.

So it wiped your external SD? Because sensation does not have internal SD.. To wipe the internal SD go to wipe, and I think its in advanced wipe

Soooo, can anyone help here?

Download it, root your device, use a file explorer with root permissions, do a search for update.zip
Its either in /cache/ or /data/ I honestly cant remember. Do post a link if you do it tho.

Yep, thanks it was right there. Now I have the OTA for T-Mo US official 4.4.4.
Im gonna save it just in case

Just wanted to throw my advice in on this. I've had my phone rooted since the day I got it in August of '13. Had the MDL bootloader, never updated it, but always updated the modem's to the current modem.
I noticed something weird on this last update to NH7 though. Something was just different. My LTE speeds definitely slowed down to a crawl, and my phone was rebooting on a stable rom that I've ran for over 6 monthes, GoldenEye. Battery drains have been plaguing me this last month as well. I tried different kernels, fresh installs, nothing was working. Finally got to the point of, screw it, I'm updating the firmware and will go from there.
Yesterday I upgraded firmware without completely wiping the rom that I was on. Odin'd NH7 and everything loaded back up the way it was, and Yes I now have the Knox bootloader. Immediately I noticed my LTE speeds had returned back to normal. I haven't had one reboot in the last 17.5 hours, and I'm at 75% battery left. I definitely think being on such an old bootloader impacted the way my phone was acting. Could just be me, but it helped me ten fold, from the problems I was having, to what I have now. I'm debating on just leaving it stock so I don't screw knox, just in case I want "JUMP" to the Note Edge whenever it comes out.
Again, this is just my case. I'm sure in a couple of days without customizing stupid crap or loading a few different roms to try out, I'll go ahead and root it and void the knox (I don't really care about it anyhow.) If the damn Note Edge was here I would have already pre-ordered and wouldn't have to worry. Since it's not, I might just pay this phone off and keep it and start up a new line for the Edge. Our phones are kick ass and almost impossible to brick, and very fast for what all I do on it.
Thanks,
BillY

Just root the phone, otherwise what is the point of having android ;-P
check out this rom if you want TW 4.4.4 with some modifications:

what i did since the latest NH7 came out was update through ODIN, never had a problem with it, so i guess i got lucky

Lasted a whole 2 days stock and un-rooted after I updated to NH7.
I only owe another $200 on my phone so there is really no sense in "Jump" at this point. The Edge not being out made this decision real easy for me. Just going to keep the S4, and pay it off and start over again once the Edge comes out.
