ok something crashed on my modaco rom. super user wont work when it goes to it it just shows black screen. tried deleting cache on it and data. no fix. cant use tether or anything root.
I'd reapply the ROM or restore from backup.
i cant do that. everytime i do a nandroid backup it messes up cause of apps2sd.
I had a similar problem. I installed the Su app from the marketplace over it then i uninstalled it and it fixed the app. Worked for me.
ok i tried reloading rom and same thing. i cant find the app you are talking about. is it the super user whitelist. i cant install anything root now when it goes to su and you have to allow it all i get is black screen and it force closes

Yes its the Super whitelist app.
try reformatting the ext partition first. Wipe the system than do a system restore or nandroid restore. If you did a nandroid backup of the faulty system than I hope you have the stock nandroid backup as well.
ok tried the super whitelist and it downloads but never installs just sends me back to the sprint flash and restarts. i dont really want to restore back cause then i have to download all my apps again. im seriously thinking that apps2sd are more trouble than they are worth. maybe some one can do a walkthrough on how to back them up in the event of a crash like this.
Same here

I can confirm this behavior. I just reinstalled from a backup, installing whitelist from the Market gave me the unending HTC screen of death.
adb push Superuser.apk /system/app/
Superuser.apk can be found in any one of the available ROMs, fresh, gutted, MoDaCo, etc.

Oh Snap! TY!
I'm having the same issue. Just in case, I ruu'd back and started over.
Everything works fine up to installing the rom.
Debugging is on.
Tried wiping the ext partion from flash screen, says "error" run wipe_ext via consle"
I tried installing the superuser whitelist app from market, and it won't install, says "incompatible update".
Tried pushing the superuser.apk, it says "failed to copy, read only file system.
Any ideas, i'm lost. I can run my nandroid back to before I installed the 1.2c modaco and it works fine, as soon as I install the rom nothing works in root.
I used SU File Manager & Terminal 3.0.6 to cut/copy/paste Superuser.apk back into the app folder. I then ran it and it installed with no problems and works great for me.
I made sure that I used the built in feature to make the system and data folders RW before I cut/copy/pasted anything. Hope this helps.
Im getting this error and force close on one of my Heros when I try installing any of my apps on any of the 2.1 roms. Im coming from Fresh 1.1 and following the same procedure I used on my other Hero on which the market is fully functional. Ive wiped everything over and over and cleared data on anything that looked like it at to do with the market. I also tried fix apk mismatches from recovery. Short of RUU which Id like to avoid if at all possible Ive tried everything else I can think of. In searching I have come across this error code on other android phones, but nothing on the hero and nothing specific to trying to install apps. So has anyone else seen this? And would RUU do anything a full data wipe didnt already?
Reading instructions has its benefits grasshopper...
Download the latest recovery and throw it onto your SD Card, boot into the old version of recovery and flash the new recovery as a .zip update, reboot into recovery again and then wipe your phone again, then install android 2.1, don't reboot yet, make sure your rom either has it's own custom kernal or download one for 2.1 and flash it, open up adb and clear dalvik cache and boot cache, then reboot your phone and you should load without any problems.
Thanks. But I did that from the get go. Aside from flashing a kernal, but Im running Darchtrev2 on the fully functional Hero that I mentioned and thats got a custum kernal built into the rom. So thats what I started with on the second one using the exact same process without success. Does wiping from adb do more than wiping from recovery? Thats one other thing I didnt do after the initial install.... But do understand you correctly that you have seen this specific error before?
Just bumpin the tread in hopes of finding a solution. I dont even mind gettin flamed for asking a stupid question if I could get linked up with a fix! lol I see its getting views, just no ideas I guess... It sucks cuz everything else works fine except the market. I get the list of my downloads, when I tap on one to install I the download button instead of the install button, so Ill tap on it and I get get the progress bar saying its downloading. When it gets to 100% I get the error and force close... Anyone?
I would try wiping again then flashing fresh 1.1 see if that boots and everything works ok then I would redownload the recovery and flash that still running fresh then reboot make sure everyhting is cool, then redownload whatever 2.1 rom you want and wipe and flash.
doing this serves 2 purposes
1. make sure that somewhere along the line none of the files corupted
2. if you still have the same problem then it will let you know where the problem is coming from.
just process of elimination
if you still have problems after that then I would say RUU, yes it is different than just wiping from recovery as it restores a completely stock image and gets rid of everything else. all a data wipe really does is get rid of user data.
just my opinion.
honestley thinnking about it I RUU'd my phone just for giggles then I re-rooted and then flashed DCv1 right from stock and I found that a lot of the little bugs that people where seeing I wasnt so it may not be a bad idea to ruu anyways.
Thanks for the reply and for giving me something different to try. I hadnt thought about trying that. Frustration I guess! It makes sense though. Ill give it shot. Thanks!
Why not see why it fc'd?
Adb with logcat of ...vending....
Find the syntax here: http://developer.android.com/search.html
Just an idea. It may or maynot give you the insight to fix the cause ( like a parameter ...vending... is null fetching on ).
Yeah, Ive been thinking about RUU'n too just to see if making a fresh start would make any difference, but after all the time I spent getting the one Hero working like I want on 2.1 and the troubles Ive had with the second and what Ive read about people bricking trying to RUU or flash recovery Ive been kinda hesitant....

Sometimes it's just fun to RUU and do everything again
Alright if you're still having problems then just follow these steps:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up just in case something goes wrong.
Download the latest version of your current 2.1 rom and reflash it from Recovery.
Open up adb and mount the /data directory (adb shell, mount /data)
Enter the following two commands in adb: rm -r /data/boot-cache , rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
Go Back to ADB and type the following commands: cd /data/data/com.android.vending , rm -R cache
Fix UID Mismatches using the tool in Recovery and then reboot your phone

The latest RUU? I used the 1.56..... I did get it working tho. Flashed the mms. fix zip. Just wasn't expecting to have to as I didn't with my other hero. Don't know what the difference is between the two devices. Both are google branded, but the second one fought me every step of the way.

First, sorry for the bump.
I just started getting this error and wanted to know if you figured out exactly what it was so I didn't have to go through that whole RUUing process. Thanks.
don't know if this is your problem, but i know on sushi rom you have to go to manage applications, market, click on it and then click on uninstall updates.. Then apps. will download and install correctly.

I was having the same problem on DC a couple days ago and that fixed it for me. I was reading this thread wondering why no one had mentioned it yet.
Hi all,
Sot of new to modding, think I screwed up and could use some help. Was doing this one click speed fix: forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7587405&postcount=417
It didn't appear to work the first time, as I received a message and exited the application, however the symbol was still in the notification bar. Re-ran it, and it seemed to have worked, mostly, as the phone was blazing fast. Went immediately to run quadrant and check the benchmark, but it force closed every time it hit the i/o section. tried to go to market, foreclose every time. Figured it may need a reboot, powered off, and that's was all she wrote.
I can get into the battery charging screen and have been able to get to recovery, but nothing else. I haven't used adb or ODIN at all yet, but any assistance is greatly appreciated.
The phone was already rooted, and i have titanium back up and nandroid backups, but don't really know how to get to them.
If you did a nandroid backup, just go in recovery screen and restore backup. If not, flash back to stock rom.
well maybe i dont know what im talking about then. I guess I thought i did a nandroid.
When i go into recovery i get four options: reboot system now, reinstall packages, clear all user data, clear cache data.
none of them work
Did you install clock work recovery via Rom manager?
well it has turned on now. removed sim and memory card and hit reinstall packages. ive got the standard twlauncher running but, it repeatedly gives me force close notifications that android.process.media has stopped and i cannot access the menu

alright, so i got it into download mode, gonna reflash everything to stock and see where i went wrong as outlined here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=734475
Will update with results, but would be nice to figure out where i went wrong so as not to repeat the error.
If you can get into recovery just wipe and reflash eugenes vibrant4.zip.
Alright, back to stock. unrooted also? gonna mess some more and see if i can get my clockword recovery to restore everything.
okay, so my theory is that the lag fix i used installed an update.zip that overwrote the clockword mod one. Now im just trying to restore using titanium backup, but it is telling me that it doesnt have root access. i know im rooted, as i just did it and reinstalled rom manager and drocap. hmmmmm.....
Thats not all thats funny. i cant find the superuser app anywhere on here. also, i cannot install one from the market.
and im having issues with root explorer.

You need to root again to get the superuser on your phone. As for the one click lag fix, I used to original method and it went pretty well. No problems so far. I also flashed Vibrant4 by Eugene before doing the lag fix. Hope it helps
same thing happened to me. I'm stuck on the galaxy S boot screen. i can get into the samsung recovery screen but not the clockwork recovery. I backed up my nandroid and Rom but don't know how to get into the menu to restore. I only have the update.zip for the lag fix on the internal sd so can't restore that way. Any ideas? Much appreciated.

There may be other ways around it, but I restored fully to stock, then re-rooted. I'm back up and running no problem now. Had some issues with titanium backup but got around that and its batch restoring as i type.

Would you mind saying how you did that?
I tried wiping and flashing the stock via renaming it update.zip, and I'm still getting FC city. Mostly media, but, calendar, everything. I'm going to post a link to this in that thread, since many, it seems, were left hanging in a boot loop.

back up and running. had to research about titanium backup to get it up and running. I want to do the lag fix still, but im nervous from before.
Your nervous? I really would like to do this but i'm scared (cuss)less.
I've read what needs to be done and think that I've figured it out.
(pretty new to droid)... but, have also read the horror stories here
about bricking your phone...which nowadays can happen to any
phone you have....don't get me started on the apple pie!
But, really when it gets a simple as installing an .APK I'll be happy.

The galaxy s seems pretty hard to brick. I'd say just go for the lag fix. Worse thing that happens is you have to take like 15min to download and use odin to reflash to stock. The lag fix seems pretty safe as long as you stay rooted

Vibrant Recovery Mode HowTo
THIS GUIDE WORKED ON USA T-MOBILE SAMSUNG VIBRANT BUT MAY VERY WELL WORK ON ALL SAMSUNG GALAXYS PHONES
After reading many XDA-Developers Forum Posts to try and figure out how to get into the Recovery Mode / Download Mode without any success, I gave T-Mobile Support a call.
After the usual noop run-down, "did you take the battery out" questions, I simply asked them how to get the Samsung Vibrant into recovery mode.
Unline the many tutorials that claim to require the Up or Down button pressed, along with the Home button then the Power, the true process is as follows:
1. Press the Up and the Down button at the same time (yes both). I too thought that button was a Toggle which only did either Up or Down, but found that in fact it does do both.
2. At the same time, press the power button.
3. As soon as the Samsung / Vibrant logo comes up on the screen, release the power button.
4. Release the Up and Down buttons.
5. PRESTO
Hey guys I have been looking all over the web to find a way to get my fascinate completely back to stock. Here is the story...
Removed tons of verizon crap and had a perfectly great phone for about three weeks. I did a data wipe/factory reset to install voodoo kernel and everything worked. I installed a rom (which I dont blame) and my phone boots to the touch wiz force close loop. I would imagine it is trying to load crap I have removed. I can boot into clockwork, but adb does not recognize at this point. I load my backups buy I dont have one with stock apps. Is it possible to find a flashable stock kernel/rom/everything. Im fine with re-rooting I just cant figure this out.
also I found a system dump. Can someone give me the command to push that to sd card just in case I get adb going again.
Please help. Thanks
I can't post the URL because this forum prevents new users from posting URLs..
But try to google the phrase "force close he-double-hockey-sticks" and you should see a thread over on android central that has a solution for you.
Thanks ill check that out after work. I have managed to get the phone operational, but I can not use apps. Every single app FCs. I also can't download from the market. I believe it has somehing to do with voodoo not letting me write to the system memory. I dunno....I just want to get back to stock, reroot, and freeze apps instead of uninstalling.

It's a short process to go to stock with Odin, and then work back up from there. I did it when VooDoo hit and the whole thing took me about 2 hours, including pulling the bloatware, restoring apps, and overhauling my screens with custom crap. To stock, root, and freeze you're talking maybe 30 minutes.
BTW, not to be an ass, but looking is alot faster than posting. Before you reply and say you did, the threads for all this are front page in the development forum. Like two mouse clicks from here.
I wasn't sure where to post this so I hope this will do...
All of a sudden today my MT4G with LauncherPro Plus keeps refreshing or restarting or something on the home screen. Sometimes it does it every minute or so other times it does it so rapidly the home screen isn't even showing up before it does it again.
Worst part aside from the annoying bright flash every time it happens is that it kicks me out of apps to do it.
It's not a Force Close and no errors pop up it just refreshes to the Home screen as if I hit the Home button or restarted LauncherPro.
I am so confused.
I have no new apps recently, but I did Root a few days ago using The Unlockr's Visionary root.sh method. Had no problems when doing it and phone has been fine since until this. No custom ROM yet, still on Stock 2.2.1 while I research which one I want to get.
I already wrote to the LauncherPro people who thought it might be because Keep in Memory was checked, but it isn't checked so no help there.
There was one point when I unmounted my SD card to put it in the pc to get to the files because this issue kept kicking me out of Astro and I couldn't get anything done. And while the card was out, it did not do it. As soon as the card was back in though it started up again.
Sometimes restarting LP will help, but other times it will make it go more frequently. So frustrating.
Can anyone help or at least point me in the right direction. I have a video of it if that will help to post it, but it doesn't show much, just the home screen restarting several times. Also happy to provide any more info anyone thinks might be helpful it stopping this.
Thanks so much!

Uninstall didn't work :-( it's still doing it. Not quite as frequently but bad enough I am still getting kicked out of apps. I'm wondering if it is even a launcherpro issue since I never had a problem before yesterday. Any and all suggestions, help, advice and ideas welcome. I'll try anything this is driving me crazy!
Lol try the Uninstall method but instead install another launcher then press the home button to choice the newly installed launcher and see if that works ?

Tried ADW Launcher and it did the same thing :-( Guess it is not LP after all. I put LP back and reboot. As of now it is not doing it, but I am very afraid to reboot or do anything in case it starts up again LOL

well depending on what ROM you have installed (Im assuming stock froyo after reading the OP), just run the ROM Manager app and then "reboot into recovery". from there, the recovery screen comes up. you can then "wipe cache partition", then "advanced>wipe dalvik cache". finally, "advanced>fix permissions" and after its done you can then reboot your phone. this USUALLY fixes a lot of problems with FC's and other issues

Update: It has continued to do it, not constantly, and seemingly randomly, but yeah, not totally fixed. Going to flash the new CM7, trying to fix other issues, maybe that will help.
I did try your above advice, wiped the caches, fixed permissions... it was stable for a few days then started up again. Really bad at first, like I wasn't even seeing the screen before it flashed again repeatedly. That was about a week or so ago... Now it is still doing it but every couple minutes instead. I mostly don't notice it unless I am in one of the apps it kicks me out of when it happens. Really really annoying. hopefully the new ROM will help.
Has anyone else been having this problem or found a solution. I've been trying to flash a new ROM this weekend, but can't stay in any apps long enough to prepare the phone for it. Titanium Backup and ROM Manager keep closing because of the launcher restarts. Not force closes, they just exit out and go back to the home screen which just keeps refreshing. I can't stay in Apps2Sd Pro long enough to move apps, can't stay in the market to update apps, and can't uninstall anything, I can't even stay in Astro long enough to do anything. It's driving me insane and I really want to make sure as many apps as I can are moved to the SD card and backed up to flash the new ROM. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks!
