sure, it's my pleasure to help others here.
I use wm6 with a 4GB MINI SDHC(Karmba 4.0). After i use bluetooth internet sharing with my laptop, i found that all 1.4GB data disapeared from my sd card. Instead of them, i saw 3 files which have strage name on them and cannot be opened. All these files are 0byte. Then i insert sd into my laptop, right click sd to check property, i knew all data still on sd card, because the property of sd card shows "1.4GB used". After that, i enable my laptop to see hiden files, not see anything from sd card again.
Finnally, i found a tool called "Final recovery". This tool bring the most of files back to me, not all of them.
I suppose, the internet sharing write all the internet temp files into my sd card, then all my data had been overwrited. So, even when i use recovery tool, cannot recover all of them.
Karmba 4.0 set internet cache and temp folder in the sd card by default(Karmba 4.1 maybe does the same thing). Thus, i think maybe this is where the problem comes from.
By the way, i really appreciate what Karmba did for all the user here. His rom is quite good, But i think 1.2 is the best one. The others really need debug.
Hope this information can help other people who have the same problem. Cheers.
It's nice for you to share about your experience regarding recovery.
However, I think it's worthy to point out that SD corruption could be caused by almost any program that access the card. It has been discussed many times in the forum.
It's actually a HTC bug, which goes unfixed. Artemis got a fix to its SD driver long time ago.... Anyway, prevention in my opinion is far better than recovery. Look for a program called "sdsentry" and it will notify you when the corruption occurs and allows you to reboot the machine to prevent the corrupted FAT image got written to the card itself. It will save your day. Try it.
Hi there,
For the past couple of days, I've been getting "installation unsuccessful" error messages whenever I download anything from the Market. The apps are downloaded, and Android tries to install them but fails every time. I've gotten successful installations on one or two occasions, though, seemingly at random.
I have 22MB of internal storage left, and I used to be able to install apps with only 10MB, so that's not the cause. And I have around 2GB on my SD card. Funny thing is, I can't even install some .APKs of beta apps that I know should work, because I've installed them before. I thought the issue was solely related to the Market, but the Market isn't involved when installing apps from "unknown sources", or is it?
Does anyone have any suggestions besides doing a hardreset? Anyone experiencing similar issues?
Cheers
I had the same issue with my Desire. After i searched on the internet, i found a lot irellevant sollutions to this issue.
What i did? I did a backup of my SD card, format SD, restore settings to default and that it.
It was a hard decision but i couldn't find any other solution. After that, everything goes normaly, even today!
Thanks for the reply! I still hope I don't have to do a hardreset, but if nothing else works, I guess I have to go ahead and wipe that thing.
Have you tried the fix_permissions script? You can run this from the Amon Ra recovery or go to the Market and download ROM Manager. It's under the Utilities section of ROM Manager
I guess that's only for rooted devices?
OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing
OK, I give up. If no one has a solution to this, I'll just hardreset the darn thing.
Is there a backup tool that can restore all your apps in a way that the Market will recognize them under "Downloads"? I restored apps from a backup once, but that was pretty pointless since I no longer could enjoy updates through the Market without having to re-download every single app.
Titanium Backup has a "Market Doctor" to fix your Market links, but you need to be rooted.
If you aren't, I'd suggest syncing with AppBrain, which at least means you won't need to search for all your apps on the Market again.
Regards,
Dave

Have you tried connecting your phone to pc in disk drive mode and doing a scandisk of SD card.
I had the same problem (card was mounted as read-only)
After I done scandisk it found and fixed the problem.

No, I had not tried that since the SD card appeared to be working. I used to get quite a few "SD card damaged" messages until I let Android format the card. I tried Scandisk now but it didn't take care of the Market issue unfortunately. Thanks anyway
But it does indeed seem like the SD card somehow is to blame. Those few apps that I actually have been able to install have been installed to the internal storage.
I think this problem started when I for some reason decided to clear the Market's cache and data. Thing is, I have set Android to install apps to the SD card by default (adb shell pm setInstallLocation 2) and that might have something to do with it as well, although it worked fine for three weeks.
I got this when I installed the unofficial OTA update for 2.2. Only fix was to try another custom rom.
Have you tried to go into manage applications and then clear all data for the market app ? This has solved some similar problems for me in the past.
Yes, I cleared the Market's cache and data, and I actually did that before the issue started as well. I just hope a hardreset will fix it all, going to erase everything later today
For the record, I had to not only perform a hardreset, but delete the .android_secure folder on my memory card where apps are stored to get the Market working again. I could probably just have deleted the .androd_secure folder, but then I would have lost all apps installed to the SD anyway
Works like a charm now.
hey did you find a solution to your problem???

But erasing that folder removed all the apps you had installed on your memory card, right?

Hey man good to know im not the only one i have exactly the same issue,did u found the solution for it? i still want to use the trick setinstalllocation 2 .
hi all,
thought i would ask here as my questions in the rom specific forum are getting swamped by every asking for the dev to install specific programmes or people asking wht OJ death is..
im just trying to narrow down if my SD card is faulty, the rom is causing the issues or i have or am doing things wrong.
on random occasions i have lost apps, photos and other info from my SD card.
the first time it happed i did a nandriod backup prior to a rom update.
right after the nandriod back up my phone booted up and every photo i had taken in the last 2 days were gone.
thankfully using Recuva data recovery program in windoiws i was able to find and restore the photos.
i then updated my rom the Open desire rom, the one that enabled the OTA menu system. as far as i know there were no other things changed in the initial update.
after rebooting all my sd card data was wiped.
BUT.... some of the apps on the sd card were still there and some were gone, as well as apps on the phone, some were gone some was not.

You're not alone... I too have a similar issue, with an un-branded, un-rooted Desire. The first think I noticed was a duplicate "Backgrounds" folder appearing in the 3D Gallery - which in itself is odd, because the standard Gallery app only shows it once.
Weirdly in one version of the folder I have a few less images than the other, but they're otherwise all duplicates and can only be found in one visible "Backgrounds" directory on my SD card. It's not just the Gallery app aither - some others (like Wall Switch) also see two "Backgrounds" folders.
Then I noticed a number of images had mysteriously disappeared from another folder - in both Gallery apps. The only app that's crashed is Wall Switch - which is probably related, as it's looking for images in that "Backgrounds" folder. It works fine most of the time though.
If any images have gone missing, I should be able to get them back as I recently upgraded to a 32GB card and copied all my files across before doing so. However, I'm more concerned that there's a problem with the new card. (Which, for the record, was not a cheap one from eBay.)
As such, I'll be spending some time this weekend testing the new card to see if I can identify any issues... but I too have a couple of questions in that regard:
i) Is there any benefit in formatting the card in the phone before use? (It came pre-formatted so I first checked it for errors in Windows first, then just started using it.) I realise before Froyo the phone could not format such big cards, but I think that may have been resolved now.
ii) What's the best way to verify the integrity of the card? (e.g. Will error checking via Windows - XP in my case - suffice?)
EDIT: I took the card out and copied the files (minus my MP3 library) back to the 4GB card that came with the phone. When I ran with this card the duplicate directory disappeared. CHKDSK found no problems on the 32GB card, but I reformatted it in the phone anyway and then copied everything back to it and all is now fine. I'm assuming the phone did a "Quick Format" rather than a full one, as it only took a few seconds. I'm not too worried about the missing image files as these may have been inadvertently deleted anyway. Fingers crossed the problem is behind me now, but I'll keep an eye on it.
I am having similar issues, it's almost like the SD card is not fully loaded, and tried to load but can't. Things are missing, and then they are there. I am using a new 16GB over the original 8GB.
I am rooted though, am I able to do a format of the SD card?
Also when I choose to make it work as disc drive, nothing happens, does not show up on system.

i had the same issue when i first rooted my phone i was able to put the card in an old HTC and it showed up as a drive in USB mode and i was able to run a file recovery tool to extract the data
then re format and copy the data back to it..
but the current issue is just random and strange...
stuff just seems to disapear as far as the phone is concerned ...
as i have already mentioned i had stuff vanish after running nandroid back up..
So for me it seems it happens shortly after bootup. Yes I give it enough time.
But once I open the all programs area, I see it load all of the icons. Maybe some issue with it not loading untill I open that area up.
Also, most of issues seems to be coming from the App Organizer Application, it's updated often so hopefully my issues will go away.
*As I play around with things it seems almost all my issues are related to the program. Even the issue with it not showing up on my computer when connected through USB. It does show up, just takes awhile, and once it does my Apps Organizer icons flash. So related.

Hi -
I've got a rooted Desire, configured through ADB to install all apps to SD. Of late, the apps installed on the SD card have not been loading in the applications menu, and shortcuts to the apps on the desktop show an error message saying that the 'Application is not installed on your phone'. Previously putting the phone on Debugging mode rectified the issue, but now that doesn't even seem to work. Any suggestions?
Anyone have any solutions to this?
Seems that not many people have experienced this issue
As a starting point for me, where on the SD card are apps usually stored?
Check the .android_secure folder.

That folder is showing as empty. Could that be the root if the problem?
*bump topic*
Hi,
From my point of view it is due to SD Card latency. Make this try, Seetings->Applications-> Kill HTC sense. Then press Home Button.
This will force Sense to restart and then pick all available applications.
Hope it works for you .

Before the update to stock 2.29, I have experienced a problem similar to this. What you can do is follow c0d1t0's advice first. If that doesn't work, you reboot the phone and try again. If it still doesn't work, boot up your Windows 7, feed it with that microSDHC card and do a chkdsk to fix the FAT structure. It helped me three times with this. And you don't actually lose data.

Think you were spot on. I recall windows complaining about a disk integrity problem, before the issues occured. A chkdsk didn't fix it, had to restore an old titanium backup to get things running again.
Hi, I accidentally deleted 700 photos from my Samsung Galaxy S9. I purchased FoneLab-Android Data Recovery but couldn't figure out how to use the "advanced Root" to get the deleted photos. Everything I looked at, regarding root apps, said not to trust them. So, it's been 3 days now since I lost the photos, but I haven't used the camera because I read it could overwrite the photos I'm looking to recover. Can anyone help, in layman's terms? Thank you! Cheryl
If the photos were on the phone and not the sdcard I'm not sure there is any way to recover them as the internal storage is encrypted, heard of people bricking their phone trying with various recovery programs
If they were on the MicroSD card you can run pretty much any PC software recovery program, although there are specific ones for USB/SD cards too
Future reference, make regular backups (How did you manage to delete 700 photos accidentally?)
Hi, thank you for responding. I think they were on the SD card. The album shows a picture of a camera and an sd card. So, I went to delete a video I just took but didn't realize I was on the "folder", selected it, and didn't realize until it was too late that I selected the whole folder! I hit cancel when I saw it was deleting over 700 photos, but again, was too late. So, if they were on SD card, how should I proceed?
Thank you!
Cheryl

Take the SDCard out of the phone, get a reader or adapter to put it in so you can connect it to your PC
Make sure you do not copy anything else to that card
Install this on your PC
https://www.easeus.com/data-recovery/card-recovery-software/sd-card-recovery-freeware.htm
Follow instructions to recover files to from the sdcard to PC
Good luck
Thank you so much! I'll give it a try!
There is a site about recovering data from an Android phone. But for your Samsung S9, you need to root it first.
www.android-data-recovery.com
Another option.

recover deleted photos
hello，
Maybe you can use the Bitwar Data Recovery to recover your deleted photos. As you have lost hundreds of photos, most data recovery tools are not free to use. So I think you can try this freeware.
Well bro, the situation is very hard to bear as I can understand the worth of those 700 photos. When luck is bad then you cannot do anything. But one thing can be done to get back lost pictures from your Galaxy S9 and that is by using a recovery tool like Android Photo Recovery.
Yes, this is the only solution that can bring back your disappeared pictures from Samsung phone. But remember you should not overwrite the files with new data. Using a recovery program is the only answer to your data loss and all your pictures will be restored without any backup required.
But I would also like to mention that if you have created a backup then kindly check them once. And if not then you must use the a recovery tool like Android Photo Recovery.
