I'm going to do a little bit of speculation on what was messed up here.
I think that you partitoned you sd card and right after you went to the other setting and moved all your apps and dalvik to sd. This is not how app2sd works. it is a script that moves all of your app2sd on boot. Basically, for app2sd to run correctly you have to partion the sdcard and then reboot the phone. All of your apps will then be moved to the sdcard.
I'm not sure of a cure for the mistake you made. I would either:
A: restore a nand backup and try partioning and then booting up.
B: Flash a new rom and have the sdcard partioned. Now all of your apps will be on the sdcard.
Of course I could be totally off and have no idea what I am talking about
ok well this is what i did, i flashed a new rom after a dalvik wipe and the other whipe i cant think of right now, well anyways i did those then i installed the rom then partioned the card, downloaded like 3 apps then i went into the recovery menu and pressed move apps2sd and it screwd all my apps up, what am i doing wrong

you dont need to boot into recovery to move the apps. That would defeat the purpose of the script built into the roms.
As I said before. partiton sd, boot into a rom with working app2sd then your done that all you need to do.

I've done a bit of searching for my answer, however, am not able to find the answer.
I am having a problem running a restore in AD Recovery in the Magldr (v1.13).
Let me explain the situation:
I wasn't able to get App2SDPro to carry over apps to my SD card. I was informed it was because it was that I did not have an EXT2 or EXT3 partition on my SD.
I did that and then my SD was erased, but luckily I make regular backups of my SD card.
So I put all the information back on my SD card. I then realized that my ROM was erased as well.
So I tried running the backup I made from the recovery and got the error mentioned in the title.
I then tried to reload a ROM that I have on my SD at all times and then tried to do an advanced restore of the data and system and cache while leaving the boot but nothing works..
Am I destined to start from scratch, lol? (I had 140 apps installed)(and I'll be using a different form of backup next time, lol)
i have the same problem . while i was recovering from nand backup i have this notification 'Nand Kernel Open Failed'
Just flash again the kernel of your rom or the rom without wipe
you have to flash your rom om the kernel again and hopefully the problem will be solved
CLIO94 sorry i just see your reply
Hey,
I tried installing Android using cwm rec., everything goes well, but the android does not boot, it gets stuck on the booting screen, i tried several time, diff roms, still no results, can any one help me if im missing something? :S
make sure you are removing any leftover stuff from a previous rom on the SD card.
So in CWM, before you go to flash the rom, do a 'wipe data/factory reset' which should clear out the ext partition and the .androidsecure (or whatever its called) folder on the FAT32 partition.
I have done that, but it wont work, i've cleared cache too,
Btw how much time does it take on the first boot?
dont know, sorry, i've never used a sense rom, but i've seen posts referring to a good ten minutes or more, depending on the sd card and teh rom being installed, and how much stuff is moved to sd. Some roms just put just the app and dalvik folders there, some put much much more.
If it were me, i recon id be pulling teh battery at 10 mins.
do you have a 1gb partition on your sd card?
is the partition information for the rom correct?
are you using magldr or clk?
I have Tried wit a 2GB and a 1GB partition, I have Magldr 1.13, The Cwm size is also correct, 400mb for a 300mb rom.

You're absolutely sure the ROM you're trying to use is correct for the type of Android bootloader you have? (clk/magldr)
Did you check the MD5 sum of the rom.zip you downloaded? Maybe you got a bad download.
Did you wipe EVERYTHING? (full wipe, then in advanced, wipe dalvik and cache)
What method did you use to partition your sd card?
For now i Have followed the exact instructions from the DHD Desire rom, and it seems to work, I think the problem was wit the CWM recovery, I downloaded it from the Rom's page and it worked.
When I tried installing another Rom, I encountered the same prob, so I installed recovery again and it worked. Do I have to keep changing the recovery every time I put another Rom?

Yeah, some roms require different partition layouts, which are made when you flash CWM recovery.
If you are going from one rom to another and they both require the same partition layout, or if the new rom you're flashing requires a smaller system partition than your current rom, then you won't have to re-flash CWM. In that case, you'd just have to do a full wipe and then flash ur new rom.
The required/recommended CWM partition size is usually somewhere in the first few posts of the thread you download the rom from.

Today I rooted my U8800, I installed Clockworkmod, made a backup, and tried installing a Honeycomb ROM, I put the zip file in my SD card, and booted in recovery mode.
I did the following things: wipe data/factory reset; wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, and tried installing the rom from my SD card, however clockworkmod didn't see the .zip file in my SD card, so I rebooted my phone and it didn't start. Then I chose recovery (from my backup) in Clockworkmod, still didn't work.
I can see the booting screen (it says IDEOS), it stays there for a while and then it just goes black and boots itself again.
Is there any way to fix this issue?
What do you mean by a honeycomb rom? You need CM7, MIUI or Oxygen for your phone which are all gingerbread based and available in the development section of this forum. Honeycomb is for tablets only.
What phone do you have? a regular u8800 or a u8800pro?
Which recovery do you have?
What does the recovery do when you select restore from backup?
Lastly, does the recovery see anything else on the sd card?

Right, I thought I could get Honeycomb, I completely screwed up...
I have a regular u8800, Clockworkmod Recovery 4
When I select restore from backup, it just does exactly what it's supposed to do, at the end it says that the recovery was succesful, but I'm still stuck in bootloop.
Yes, the recovery can see different things on my SD card.
If I downloaded CM7, put it on my SD card, and then installed it via CWM, would it work?
Oh and is there a way to access my SD card without my phone actually being turned on?
If it is an external card, use a sd card reader to put files onto it. If not, get an external card and card reader!
You can try wipe userdata, cache and dalvic cache then restore backup, otherwise I would definitely get hold of CM7 from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068766
Oxygen from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149150
MIUI:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354680
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362963
Install one of them and hopefully you should be back up and working.
I did try wiping userdata, cache, and dalvik cache, however it still doesn't boot...
I'm going to get an SD card reader later today, but I'm not very optimistic since it doesn't boot even with the backup I had from CWM, so I don't think it'll bot with CM7 or something..
So I figured out what my problem was, I didn't put the .zip file in my phone memory, I put it in an external micro-SD card, because I thought that's what I was supposed to do.. so now I'm pretty much screwed.
Is there any way to make CWM search for the .zip on my external SD, or is there any way to access my phone memory without actually booting it?

Since you have ClockworkMod Recovery, I'll assume your bootloader isn't useless: Download {L,X}Ubuntu and burn it on a CD or make a bootable USB. Boot it and put your phone into the pink screen mode: you'll be able to mount the internal SD card. For me, I find Genokolar's CWM to be weird with the external card: the only time I can get it to see the card is if I boot into Android, unmount the card and then do an "adb reboot bootloader" from my computer

I'm going to try this, currently downloading Ubuntu, although I've never used it before, so I'm really scared of just messing everything up.
Thank you SO much guys, especially qwerty12.
I installed Ubuntu and put the CM7 .zip file on my internal memory, and succesfully installed CM7, now my phone booted normally, and I have CM7 installed!
Great stuff,glad you got it sorted
ok im freaking out a little, hopping that you fine ppl here at xda can help me agian.
i had a working rom on my tab, md's alaxandra III witch was my first rom it was great but i decided to check out another with a lil more customization. i did a backup and flashed the new rom.
it was a little twichey didnt run smooth so i decided to revert back to md's rom.
the first backup had an eror, i cant remember exactly what it said something about android media, so i tried an older one.... same thing. it was able to boot after the restore, i could see my custom live wallpaper so the restore somewhat worked but there was a force close window up that would not go away.
so i decided to just whipe and flash original zip for md's ROM. that did not work now im stuck in a bootloop.
HELP ME PLEASE!!!
how can i fix this my wife will kill me if i brick this lol
this isnt looking good... usually i get a fast response
when trying to restore i get
error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data
then when it boots i get the application launcher (process com.android.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
this will not leave the screen
Can you get into recovery? Try wiping everything and flashing a fresh ROM like Epiphany
yes i tried puting alaxandra III fresh and got stuck in boot loop
Dont panic YOU ARE NOT BRICKED..
oK FIRST OF STOP THE PANIC ATTACK.. this will likely cause you to miss a step..
1st .. Can you boot into recovery.
if so ..
i suggest .. start from the beginning.. TALK ALL VERIABLES OUT..
Format your SD CARD with a android phone or a sd format utility.. i use the one from pnys website..
re download the rom you wish to flash . To the SD CARD WHILE its in your computer i believe is best..
put the sd card in your computer..
boot into cwm or ra
wipe as usual
format partitions NOT THE sd card
Flash the newly downloaded rom..
reboot recovery .. go back to wipe menu
re wipe. as usual..
Reboot the tablet and set your google account back up. the above will KILL ALL OF YOUR DATA...
THIS IS HOW I Get out of trouble when i toast something.. I ALSO not only backup everytime i take a backup. i try to restore it to be sure its working correctly.. and i push it to my personal ftp site .
good luck...
ok i will try this thx ill get back....
also why did my backup not work? there would not be an issue if they had worked?

This is something i always do..it insures that the rom is clean and Fresh. sometimes if you do not take this step you will have ghost directories in /sdcard. directories that did not get deleted. why this happens i have NO IDEA..
Im just a average user that follows what i read.
ok it happens so fast i cant read what come after but when i wipedata/factory i get the same
error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data
then it says something else 2 lines i think then it says done, not sure what that means ill try and keep going and see what happens
and wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]
nope it did not work.
back to the forceclose pop up
i didnt get the set up stuff.straight to the rom. im getting notifications in bottem left like new email and wifi availible. shouldnt i get the set up ie. google account time zones and such?????
what ever that error is, its stuck in the system somehow
and one more thing i noticed.... there was a volume error i mentioned in a past post. well when im sitting here stuck with force close pop up, the volume is the only thing i can get access to. i can mute, vol up and down.
everything else is behind the pop up
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20680452&postcount=137
im kinda lost with the sd/ext error.. you might try the above.. i think this is how you rooted to begin with... via your computer thru adb.. or you could ask in the recovery thread . the ra recovery thread talks about a similar issue not sure its the same..
wish i could do more but i would get some clarification before you proceed .
so sorry i cant do more..
oh no............. i feel that panic

Hey, trying to put Alex III back in?
Ok, you need to tell me which Recovery are you Using? Thor's CWM? Or RA Revamped?
If you're using CWM, you should go to wipes, and do all the wipes (data, Cache, Dalvik,System if it has it also, not sure if his new version has it or not) Then goto Mounts and format;
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
Install Rom.
If you get stuck in animation loop, reboot back to recovery and do wipes only, then reinstall the rom.
If using RA Revamped 3.15,
Wipe;
Data/factory reset (you shouldn't lose any data)
Dalvik
System
If boot animation, go back to RA Recovery
Data/factory reset
Dalvik
I have RA Recovery down to a fine art with this rom.
Should get you hooked up.
thanks moscow
im past boot loop.
when i wipedata/factory i get the same
error removing /data/data/com.google.videos/cache/-1755362040.cacheError while formatting/ data
then it says something else 2 lines i think then it says done
and wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]
i flash your rom ( witch by the way i will never stray from again) but i dont get the fresh start up screens to set up time google account ect.....EDIT**i get a home screen with a fc pop up and cant do anything
im no pro but whatever its not removing is what looks like is causing the crap

"wipe cache says e:unknwn volume for path [/sd-ext]" is normal, don;t worry about it. But the other error, is corrupted data I believe.
Are you using Thor's CWM Recovery? What version?
or Do you use RA Revamped? What version
It sounds like you have some very corrupted data in there.
If you are using Thor's CWM. And his recovery only;
Here are the steps to completely wipe all internal data. And give it a clean internal system (according to Thor)
Note: Optional Formatting.
If you really want to remove EVERYTHING in Internal Memory, at this point, go to Backup and Restore. Select "Toggle backup and restore of internal storage (/data/media). Enable this setting by selecting it. By default, it is disabled. Then proceed to the formatting steps. This will format the Entire Internal Memory when you proceed.
Note, this will format EVERYTHING in internal memory (not ext sd card)
Select Go Back, Goto Mounts and Storage
1. Format System
2. Format Cache
3. Format Dalvik
4. Format Flexrom
After you reboot, I believe it resets back to the defaults.

Oh, and once you are done, try to install the rom with the normal procedures. It's quite possible the rom on the sd was corrupted, so you may want to re-download it again if you have the same error.
IF you are running RA Revamped Recovery, then you may want to contact Drellisdee at his thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1459821
He knows the procedures to do the same. I would tell you, but it's a tricky process, and he knows more about his recovery than I do.
One more note, if you have an extra SD card, even a 2gb, I would format that to FAT 32, and also copy a rom to it and use it. (remove all doubt)

I WILL TRY YOUR STEPS ABOVE WITH A NEW CARD.
its not the ROM download because i have already re downloaded it
again thank you to Moscow and erica_renee for ALL YOUR HELP AND ADVICE you two are the most helpful and fastest to respond on this forum!!!!
i will get back after this try
I searched but could not find the answer. I'm sure it's a simple fix, but I am a semi-noob.
I've been trying to find the right rom for me and I installed cm10 with no problems.
After that, I tried cleanrom v1.1, but it would not boot.
Since then I cannot write or remove files from internal sdcard.
Can someone point me in the right direction to remedy this situation?
can you not remove from it when you are booted into the rom or when u r on PC ?
format it and do data reset, wipe cache in recovery, flash the rom afresh .

I was unable to remove files when booted into the rom. I did not try from PC.
Formatting the internal sdcard did the trick. I wasn't sure if that would be destructive.
Thanks for your help.
formatting storage solves 60 percent of most of our small time problems, even for symptoms like rebooting / freezing etc
but keep a back up
