I'm running JF ADP1.5 and followed these instructions to get my apps to SD. For normal apps this works fine, but as far as I can tell protected apps (such as Abduction World Attack or Calorie Counter) get messed up. Installation seems to be working fine, but the apps have no icons, are called au.com.phil.abduction (or similar names) and forceclose on startup.
I don't believe I did something wrong with the apps2sd process, the symlinks are looking good:
Code:

Could be a bad sdcard because I'm running that same exact paid app with no problem.
Try to reformat SD card, I've had some problems with my old card this is what I did:
killed all partitions
remake parts, formatted, still problems.
killed all partitions again, made one big part
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdcard1
remake 2 parts
mkfs.vfat /dev/sdcard1
mkfs.ext2 /dev/sdcard2
filled it up again.
I had the same problem when I got apps2sd, but wat I did was went to the market and all my paid apps said "update availabe", so I "updated" them even though they were already updated, but yea try that
I was wrecking my head all night cause I had the same problem. I lastly decided to format the old ext2 partition, refilled sdcard and presto, I did my happy dance.
Hi,
Go into apps on your phone and uninstall each paid app.
Then go to the market and reinstall.
They should work fine now.
That fixed this problem for me.

After I did the update I had a similar problem. I would install apps but no icons would appear. They would show up in settings as installed and I could uninstall them but no matter what I tried the icons would not show up. If I tried running them through settings, they would force close or say they weren't installed.
I copied everything off my fat32 partition onto my pc and used the trial version of Paragon Partition Manager to reformat the fat32 and ext2 partitions. Once reformatted, I used Lucidrem's 1.5 update as he had nice simple scripts for the apps2sd stuff. Copied that over to the fat32 partition, put it back into the phone and before applying the update I did a wipe Alt W and then did the update.
After the update I used terminal to enter the scripts (the apps2sd scripts) and started re-installing all my apps. True it was a bit of a pain to start over but the phone has been running great with virtually zero problems. Apps that were giving problems are running fine now.
The update over 1.42 or 1.43 seems to cause this for some of us. Who knows why it happens but it does. One advantage to "re-doing" everything is that you can get rid of all those apps that you never use anyway. Trying to figure out why your having the problem will probably take longer than simply starting from scratch.
Good Luck!
I finally got around to doing this. Pulled the app/ directory from the ext2 partition, first reformatted the whole sd card to one big partition (probably unnecessary but wth), then back to ext2/fat32 and cp -p'd the app/ dir back. All seems to work great now, and no need for a wipe! Thanks guys!
Hi
I have updated to JF1.51 UK and I seem to be unable to run scripts that are on the SD, I have tried to install debian but the installer script does nothing, I also have a script that copy's my ringtones from the SD card to the how ever this doesn't seem to work either.
I have checked the mount for the SD card and its set as
Code:
/dev/block//vold/179:1 on /sdcard type vfat (rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,uid=
1000,gid=1000,fmask=0711,dmask=0700,allow_utime=0022,codepage=cp437,iocharset=is
o8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8)
from what I know about linux I am guess the problem is due to "noexec" but I cant see where I can change so it doesnt have noexec
I have looked at the fstab in /etc/ and /system/etc/
but I haven't found anything SD card related.
any one know how to correct this or has this been added in to stop us from playing with the G1
Thanks

didnt have this problem on JFv1.43 RC9
Ahh I see what your doing now. You need to copy the installer to the /system/sd/ and the debian image to /system/sd/debian.

David!!!!! Welcome back Bro! looking into running Debian Eh?
Its Dan BTW if the name doesnt give it away
Hi
just seen your post, yeh dont use it much but its good for showing off
hows things?
Regards
Its not executable and you can't set it as executable because it is FAT32!!
FAT32 does NOT HAVE unix permission bits. In fact, it has NO PERMISSION BITS AT ALL.
If you want to execute a script on it, you need to run the interpreter directly, i.e. "sh /sdcard/script.sh".
Hi guys, Total Noob here.
I've been reading through the forums over the last week and am still at a total loss. Despite trying numerous things, nothing I've tried has worked.. If anything, I'm afraid I've made things worse.
The back story: The NC we have is a newer one purchased *just* over a year ago, given to my 10yr old daughter as a bday gift. It's never been rooted or modded in anyway whatsoever. Two weeks ago while she was playing a game on it, it locked up, and wouldn't power off. We let it sit for a couple of days for the battery to drain. After that, the battery wouldn't charge, the NC would not boot and the cable indicator stayed orange. So I purchased, and replaced the battery. I let it sit overnight after replacing the battery, and we got a green light. On boot up, it would hang at the 'N Screen', and do nothing more.
I tried running the NC recovery, but that only resulted in an "INSTALL FAILED" error message, and that was the last sign of life to have been seen coming out of the NC.
At this point, it will only boot off the SD card, (currently using an 8gb with CWR 6.0.1.2), I no longer get even the 'N screen' anymore. I've tried leapinlars partitioning and formatting .zips, I've tried every stock image I could find, but the result is always the same. No partitions are mounted, and nothing but errors are generated.
I've tried connecting through ADB, but 'ADB DEVICES" only returns:
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached
0000000000000000 recovery
...and nothing more.
Since this NC is for my daughters use, I'm really not interested in rooting or opening up android for her, I'd really like it to be nothing more than stock, but at this point I'd be grateful just to see some sign of life come out of this thing. All help would be greatly appreciated.
I hope I've provided enough info, anybody have a clue whats going on here?

You need to type
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
in ADB. That will show you the partition structure of emmc. I suspect your cylinder/head/sector count is messed up. That is why my zips appear to work, but do not.

Thanks for the suggestion leapinlar, I assumed fdisk -l would show all disk info by default if a specific disk wasnt specified. For some reason when I plugged the NC into the USB port today, My Win7 box did not recognize it or want to reload the drivers the same way it did last night, and I was unable to connect to the NC through ADB.
I will try to figure out that later on, or try to use ADB through my Fedora box when I get a chance. In the meantime, I once again tried your repair-partions.zip and copied CWM's error log, which is pasted below. Hopefully this gives some insight:

Strange, today when I opened adb, it appears that some of the entries in /dev/block have changed. mmcblk0p1 is gone and replaced with mmcblk1p1.
Yesterday I saw this
Code:
/dev/block # ls
ls
loop0 loop4 mmcblk0 ram1 ram13 ram3 ram7
loop1 loop5 mmcblk0p1 ram10 ram14 ram4 ram8
loop2 loop6 platform ram11 ram15 ram5 ram9

This is what I see today:
Code:
/dev/block # ls
ls
loop0 loop4 mmcblk0 ram0 ram12 ram2 ram6
loop1 loop5 mmcblk1 ram1 ram13 ram3 ram7
loop2 loop6 mmcblk1p1 ram10 ram14 ram4 ram8
loop3 loop7 platform ram11 ram15 ram5 ram9
/dev/block #
If my understanding is correct (and it's usually not) the "P1" indicates that this is "partition one" on the "mmcblock one" device. (or 'disk'). I'm further assuming that of the two devices shown (mmcblk0, and mmcblk1) one of them is my 8gb microsd card, and the other is the NC's internal 8gb memory. Which makes me wonder why yesterday's "ls" did not show both devices. Also makes me wonder what the 'p1' partition is, which disk it's really on, and why it appears to have moved.
I took a look at the geometries of the disks and the partition using fdisk again, I dont know what I should be looking for here, and dont know whats relevant and what isn't. I can see I have two disks of slightly different sizes, and a mystery partition of some sort that doesnt seem like it should fit on either of the two disks.

Ok. I feel real stupid, obviously the mmcblk1 device is the sdcard and the p1 partition on it is the fat32 partition on it. Still leaves me wondering what happened to the geometry on the internal memory. CHS looks way off. shouldn't it be more like that of my sdcard?
*** Second Update***
I'm pulling my hair out here. I tried to correct the CHS values...no love there, even after rebooting it remains unchanged.
Code:
~ # fdisk -C 965 -H 255 -S 63 /dev/block/mmcblk0
fdisk -C 965 -H 255 -S 63 /dev/block/mmcblk0

So it appears my partition table has been written successfully. I just need to create partition 8. ... before I do that, I will reboot the NC to make sure the partition table is persistent...
Code:
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0: 7734 MB, 7734296576 bytes

Disk /dev/block/mmcblk0 doesn't contain a valid partition table
...and that's a big fat fail.
At this point, It looks like my only option to ever use this NC again, is to have a stand alone bootable sd card. If anybody has a suggestion, please throw it my way.
Do either of these things indicate anything of importance that could potentially be of help?
1) 'adb devices' lists the Device ID as "RECOVERY"
2) The internal memory seems to be in a 'read only' mode of some sort.
The last time this NC did power up under its own free will, was when the stock recovery was being attempted - and crashed.

Your CHS (cylinder, head, sector) settings are wrong. It should be 255 heads, 63 sectors/track and 965 cylinders. You need to run fdisk CHS to fix it. You need to type the following command in ADB shell.
fdisk -C 965 -H 255 -S 63 /dev/block/mmcblk0
Then do an
fdisk -l /dev/block/mmcblk0
to see what you get.
If the CHS is right you can do my 145678 repair and format. I don't know if the p2 repair will work though. If not, I may be able to help.

Here's the result - as before, it just doesn't 'stick'.
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb shell
~ # fdisk -C 965 -H 255 -S 63 /dev/block/mmcblk0
fdisk -C 965 -H 255 -S 63 /dev/block/mmcblk0
Device contains neither a valid DOS partition table, nor Sun, SGI, OSF or GPT disklabel
Building a new DOS disklabel. Changes will remain in memory only,
until you decide to write them. After that the previous content
won't be recoverable.

Thanks for your help, I really do appreciate it.
I may be crazy here, but what are the odds my NC does not have the same emmc chip? This thing sure acts like its fallen victim to the 'brick bug'. I cant seem to write anything at all, Tried creating new partitions with parted, no go. Even tried overwriting the mbr with dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/mmcblk0 bs=512 count=1 and it didnt even touch it.

I have had SD chips that became ready only by some mysterious means. It is possible that your emmc has done the same. In fact, one other user said that happened to his emmc.

Alrighty then, I confirmed this much at least:

Code:
dmesg | grep mmc0
The emmc chip in my NC is the Samsung M8G2FA, which is prone to the "Brick Bug", and from the little I've read on it so far, the bug is brought on merely by wiping the cache partitions clean. I got me some more reading up to do...
Today, I called BN tech support for the second time in a week, after visiting the local store to see if anybody there could offer up assistance. Long story short, because our NC was just out of warranty (by three weeks) they did offer to exchange it with a 'certified pre-owned' . When that comes in, the very first thing I'm going to do is see what memory chip it has in it, Evidently just trying to do a 'hard reset' and run the stock recovery bricks the M8G2FA EMMC. However, I still don't know what caused our NC to lock up in the first place. I guess at this point, that's moot.
leapinlar, I've read through many of your posts, although I couldn't fix my problems, you were instrumental in keeping me sane. ... well, depending on how loosely you define sane,
