Ah HELP PLEASE - Hard Reset and now MANY apps won't install?

Ahhhhhhh
I was forced to hard reset my K-JAM and am now having HORRIBLE problems.
Programs like Resco File Explorer and Omega 1-calc which DID install before now won't install.
Get a Cannot be installed error message.
I am tearing my hair out guys.
Anyone have any ideas WHY this is happening?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!
Robin

What error exactly? Did you remove the security restrictions etc prior to installing?
V

What security restrictions?
I get a message asking if I want to continue, I say Yes.
It asks for a location, I tell it (storage card).
It starts to install then says cannot install try another location, I HAVE tried the other location (Internal) it does not work either.
However ALL of these programs HAD installed on this machine before I had to reset it!!!!!!
I just cannot figure out what is going wrong as SOME applications have installed fine.
SPB Pocket, SplashID etc.........
Cheers.

Hi All
Is there no-one that can throw any light on my problem?
I am desperate to get some of these apps working again but just cannot get them to install????
Robin

Had the same problem. Just soft-reset your device and retry.

Installation problems.....
I am having the same problem too.
Even after a hard reset when I try and install Sprite Backup & Agenda Fusion I keep getting the install error: 'cannot be installed, try another location'
It's driving me up the wall! I would have thought after a hard reset this wouldn't be an issue. I'm now the proud owner of an MDA Pro (Universal) that I can't use because the software I want to install won't install.
Can anyone help me please?

Program Installation Problem

I have had many pocket PC's and the Universal w/WM5 is the only one that gives me consistant installation problems. I had listpro 3.0 installed in program memory. I uninstalled it with the intent of re-installing it on the SD card. Unchecking it from activesync did nothing. Removing from the ppc directly told me that all of the file were not removed. I saw the the folder still existed in program files, do I deleted the directory and shortcuts pointing to it. I have had this exact same problem MANY times
Am I the only one with this problem? I don't find any messages like this.
Next, I try to reinstall listpro and it won't reinstall :x I get a message cannot be installed, try another location (which does not work). Do I need a hard reset? I tryed installing another program and I can still install other stuff, but the removal did not work again.

Hi Gary!
I have a lot of experience in this sh*t. WM5 cannot uninstall or install in a lot of cases. Usually if you still have some files or folders which are on the same location than with the installation, installer says: cannot install. In that case you have to delete (or rename) the folder left, and then you can install it. In other cases installer stays in a loop install condition, and cannot continue. In that case try to install another application to finish somelooped order. I realised another thing, which is very interesting: when you want to uninstall a program, and your pda says it cannot be removed - or something -, if I run Vijay555 killphone application in 98% of the cases after it I can uninstall the same.
I hope this wil help!

Hi,
Perhaps I have been lucky but I havent had any issues with regards to installing or uninstalling programs.
I do make sure that I soft reset before and after - so maybe thats a golden rule!
Matt

Yes, softreset would be a good tip in more cases, but it wouldn't solve the problem when you want to install a program which needs a place what exists.

I did find some files in the windows directory and deleted them. That WORKED. Just doing program files is not enough. In this case, the file name was the same as the program. I don't expect to be that lucky all the time.
I have done soft-resets when it does not work. I do a number of trial programs and tend to forget prior to removal. What a apin
Got to love Microsoft - reboot is the answer to everything.

CAB "Installation Unsuccessful"

Hi,
I've been trying to install gyrator and got this message so tested several other CABs and now seem to be getting this message on trying to install any CAB - really frustrating
Any ideas what might be causing this?
My Blackstone configuation is all pretty standard with original ROM etc
Any suggestions welcomed!

try reinstalling the cab again, it should say that it will remove previous installed version and will reinstall, BUT it wont proceed with the installation. Now after this, go back to the remove programs section and check if its still there.

Wondering if you found the issue, as i have this happening over 4 or 5 different ROM's, ruled out that its a ROM issue, trying to narrow it down to a 3rd party app, unsucessful so far.
When trying to install ANY cab i get the 'unsucessful installation' error message - including cabs i've already installed. Flash my phone this morning, install apps i wanted to, went to install something else this evening, now getting this message.
I've got Sktools installed and i am able to install cabs via this.

Got that problem too on Xperia X1, can't figure out either what the cause might be. Anyone any ideas?

Found my cause - it was installing Twikini

so you can't install apps after installing twikini?
I'm getting the "uninstall unsuccessfu" for almost anything i try to install and do have twikini installed (but i can't remember if it was the last app i've installed).
Also i can't open attachments in my emails, can't download files from PIE and when i go to remove programs (start-settings-system-remove programs) the list is empty...
DId you have to hard reset or did u find away around this?
btw, i'm having these issues on my kaiser.

Finally I found what my problem was, even if I can't understand, why this is a problem.
From time to time, e.g. when I got no USB cable around, I used to send the .cab vie E-Mail to have them on my device. Well, and as a matter of fact, exactly those are the ones, where installation fails.
Copying exactly the same file via USB to storage card ends in everything working fine....

So i flashed a new rom and installed twikini first, everything was ok for a couple of days. But all of a sudden this problem is back.
I know its not the .cab files because they're the same cabs i'm trying to install that i install on almost every rom after i flash them.
I'm thinking its yahoo go.

hi, I'm a noob with a question about my HTC tilt 2. Help please!

I installed a few apps on my HTC tilt 2 with at&t from some sites. Everything was working fine for a while until my phone started slowing down and freezing alot, so I did a soft and hard reset and it fixed the freezing problems but when I run most of the apps, I get this message, ' This application requires a newer version of the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework than the version installed on this device.' Then it says quit and I hit it and this message comes up in a box, ' .NET CF Initialization Error ' and in the box it states, ' The application failed to load required components. If the .NET Compact Framework is installed on a storage card, please ensure that this card is in place and launch the application again. If this fails, a re-installation of .NET Compact Framework is recommended. Support info: -2147483643 (80000005)' So i downloaded it and get a message saying, ' NETCFSetupv35.msi' and in the box it states, 'There is no application associated with "NETCFSetup35". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application.' I don't know what I'm doing wrong but any help or advise will be appreciated. I don't know much about my phone but I'm pretty sure I did everything right. It all worked before when I installed the apps? Thanks in advance for your help.

Yeah it sounds like you had CF 3.5 on there before but somehow it didn't stay after the hard reset (which indicates it was installed sometime after the phone was first purchased).
The file you downloaded is to install it from your PC, not the phone. Put the cab file I attached here on your phone, run that, and it should resolve the issue

Thanks for your response, when i click on it it get a message saying, 'FIle download failed The requested header could not be located.' i've actually been getting that message a few times with other downloads too. would you know what that means? thanks again for your help.

run this from your computer. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en

Hmmm no, never heard of it, and basic searching turns up nothing but lists of odd HTTP error codes, that one included. My guess would be an issue with your browser on your PC, but I really couldn't say for sure.
You can also just run the file Rhodium500 linked to above, it's the same .msi file you put on your phone in the first place but couldn't get to run from there...it's an automated installer that just handles everything from your PC instead of you putting the cab on the phone manually.

thanks alot guys, still have no luck and since my phone is under warranty, i'm gonna get a new one. I got 2 htc tilt 2's and only mine is doing this? i'll be back.

dude getting a new touchpro2 wont help... i dont think... like the guy who posted the attachment said, just install it and it should work. if u cant download it use your friend's computer or the library

Dude I had the same problem and if you wait a few mins Ill find it in the microsoft website so you can try downloading from there. Just run it on your computer, then connect your phone with active sync. Go to programs> More> Add/Remove programs and click on the little box there. (I am not sure if the menu goes like this, im actually sure that it doesnt, but for some reason my phone wont connect the WMDM right now so i cant tell u) anyway dont return the phone just because of that cuz the new one might have a problem thats actually harder to fix
I dont remember where I got it from but Ill try to find the original place where I found it.
Heres the file
Microsoft Website
You can download it straight from their website. Its free and it doesnt hurt

thanks, just tried it and had no luck?? i can't even return my phone until the 12th so i'm still trying to figure it out.

hey everybody, I reset my sync center/active sync and re downloaded that from the microsoft website and it seemed to have fixed the problem. I appreciate your help very much.

Just a hint; it seems that either resetting the device or ActiveSync seems to solve a lot of problems sometimes. Had the same that my device didn't want to accept new Exchange-settings I made on my PC. After resetting both, it worked flawlessly.

[q] help me pls!!! My android wouldn't boot anymore

Hi everyone,
I had boot the android OS on my hd2 device before. BUT problems happen today for me to boot my android OS...when i click either CLRCAD or HARET file, it show me a message:
"The file cannot be opened. Eithere it is no signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try to reinstalling or restoring this file."
Did anyone of you facing this kind of problem before? Anyone have solution or suggestions? I have different Android file in my device. BUT i only name the android file that i want to boot with "android"...I dont think multipile android folder affect the booting process right? So did anyone know what the problem now? I CAN BOOT ANDROID before this..BUT NOW I CANT!!! HELP ME PLS!!! =.=

I can only assume that you've recently flashed a new ROM, or that you've been playing with settings in WM. Either way, install BsB Tweaks and make sure that you enable the option that allows you to install unsigned apps. (I can't remember the exact wording, but it's pretty obvious from the description.)
That should solve your problem and allow you to run Android again.
Hope it helps mate.

T.T...i have installed BsB Tweaks on my deivce...it works normal before this...but now IT DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE!!! WHAT HAPPENING TO MY DEVICE....T.T

Did you check the option that I said needs to be enabled?

hmmm....i cant open the bsb app now...what i doing now was i try to reinstall the app and see how it works...T.T..hope everything fine

It's this option (as per the BsB thread)...
Polices
■- Allow install and run unsigned applications.
Make sure that's enabled and you should be able to run the 2 exes.

HI....bad news...i cant re-install my BsB tweak App again..it say installing process was unsuccesful...do you know whats happening ? T.T...sad

I'm afriad not mate. You've obviously done something recently, like install some new software or flash a new windows ROM, and that's caused the problems you're having.
What have you done recently?

I did not install any new ROM or software recently...what i did was i just boot android last few days ago...but the moment i change my device back to WM...eveything goes so wrongly...i cannot boot adnroid anymore...T.T...what happening...T.T
the android build that i boot was from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=802194

It's definitely WM that you're having problems with, not Android. We need to get to the bottom of that problem. You said that you can't install BsB Tweaks. What happens when you try?

Had the same problem the first time I installed Android. Couldn't even install normal .cabs without getting "The file cannot be opened. Eithere it is no signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try to reinstalling or restoring this file."
I tried everything and ended up doing a hard reset which solved the problem. If you end up doing this, install SDKcerts before anything else!
Hope this helps.

when i was trying to install the bsb tweaks, it show me that the installation was unsuccessful..T.T

Hi,you ask me to install the SDK certs first? what was the thing you ask me to install? and wher can i get the SDKcerts so that i can install on my device?

I didnt want to make a new thread since this one is about the booting of android failure.
I kinda have some issues.
Yesterday I first installed m-deejay build snce warm, 2day i changed it to the build of the the same auothor, sence aswell. But stumbling on a weird problem. Once I turn android off, and try to boot android again I stumble to a problem of the phone hanging in screen with htc on it, have been waiting for 10 minutes now, dont know if waiting longer will help, gonna try it.
I do still use the original 2gb card that came with the phone, I did installed some apps from the market (whats app, ping chat, camera app). After that I stumbled to a weird problem of market not downloading apps anymore.. and time from time I loose my internet connection
Does anyone know what may cause the booting time of android?
PS. Using artemus rom had hardresetted so it was completley clean before install of the build. The build does work well, but once I restart the phone it does the thing with long booting time 15 minutes passed now still nothign..
Any ideas how come? Thank you
