Hey all. I have searched but I was unable to find a thread pertaining this issue.
Phone: Android Dev Phone 1
Running: JFv1.50 ADP1.5
What has happened is that today SU/Root seemingly stopped working. I discovered it when I bought Kosh's Screenshot app and started it up. The app requires SU permission, and therefore the "SU Request" window popped up. But it's blank. A blank black screen which eventually will run low on memory and then force close.
I then tried to open the Superuser Permission app, same result. Opened Task Manager for Root Users, same deal. Opened the Terminal Emulator and typed "su", which actually worked! I still had SU privs there. Closed the TE and decided to reboot the phone, and now I don't have SU privs in TE anymore. Everything that's non root related is still working fine.
Does anyone have an idea what's happening here? I suspect that maybe the Market Enabler app or the AdsFree apps could have something to do with it, because they're the only root related apps I have installed the last few weeks, before this problem occurred.
I'm sure a wipe would fix this glitch, but I'd prefer not to do that unless it's necessary. Plus, it would be nice to know what's causing this, so I can avoid it in the future.
Same thing has happened to me. It worked fine for Term Emu, task manager, and ad block. But I tried using an OC app and when super user popped up blank. All my previous apps still work but any new root apps I install do not work. Not sure why though and the only way I found to fix it is to wipe. Do you have your apps on the sd card? I'm using the old method haven't gotten around to trying the new method. Not sure if that is the issue or not, the old version of super user never gave me any issues.
I did a wipe, and it sorted the problem out, for some root apps. Now I'm back to the same crap again though, the SU Request window pops up but it's all black and eventually it force closes.
According JF's blog he included "a much better Superuser app, courtesy of zinx" in the 1.50 release. It's obviously what's causeing our problems, I never had an issue with the old one, but I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to go back to 1.1 or Haykuro's builds. I guess I'm stuck with a semi-crippled JFv1.50 ADP1.5 until someone with more brains than me finds and posts a proper solution.
Yeah Ive been noticing the same thing. Also the superuser list GUI is horrible. I liked how in the last one you can choose what programs you'd want to remove su access from.

Exactly. I'm not sure what he means by "a much better Superuser app", because for a layman like myself it seems a lot worse than the old one
This is just going from bad to worse. Now I discovered I have no positioning via wifi/3G anymore. I have to start the GPS and go outside and wait for a signal to get a lock on my position, which sucks. What the hell is going on? If not even a wipe is enough I guess I'm looking at a complete reinstall, but if all this has happened once it can/will happen again. I would much prefer to find the cause of all this crap.
Ok, so I found the cause for the Assisted GPS issue at least. My Micro SD card needed repairs. I put it in a SD card adapter and plugged it in to my laptop and let Vista repair the file system (apparently there were close to 100 errors on the damn thing) and now it seems to be working again.
Edit: This might actually have fixed my issues with the superuser permissions too. Knock on wood. I'll have to get back to you on this.
I'm having this Exact issue
I am having this exact same issue on dudes build. I have tried everything from scanning to formatting the SD i have flashed back and forth from Jf1.42 to jf1.50 and then to all different dude builds and i have no clue what to do next.
I do a wipe every time i flash and the only way to get any su access is to have jf1.42 or haykuro build. Anyone Else having an issue? I have been working on this for 3 days straight now...
For me it was an SD card issue. If you have a spare card, try that instead, or if you can borrow a card from a friend, just to see if it resolves your problems.
I realize that you have repaired/formatted your SD card, but it could be something wrong with it that screws things up. Worth a try, right?
Absolutely I'm looking for one right now thanks for the quick response. I'll let you know if it works. I have a 2gb sandisk in there now, so i still have my 1gb and my girlfriends 1gb too. Her phone has no su problems at all.
I also ran across the same problem reported here, only a wipe solved it. I believe it had something to do with the Market Enabler (non-signed) app, which was the only one I installed that first showed me the dreadful empty SU screen...
Fixed It
My Problem has been fixed by formatting the sd card with the phone itself.
I copied off all my info, unmounted it from the computer, unmounted it from the phone, this gave the option to format the sd card.
Once that was done i copied all my data back and when i installed programs from my sd i have not had a single su problem since.
I was having all these same problems in JF's 1.5 build, and none of the wiping/formatting SD/trying a different SD card combinations did the trick. Then, I went into JF's blog post where he released 1.5, and someone posted there that enabling USB debugging would fix the issue. I did this, and what do you know, now my superuser permissions app works again in everything, even in unsigned apps! Maybe this is why a wipe fixed it for some people, and not for others?

Not to Jesus resurrect this thread, but I had the same issue and same fix as n17ikh here on the ION build. Enabled USB debugging and su/superuser permissions started working Too bad I have to disable USB debugging in order for my car stereo to mount my G1 as a USB device, but at least I have a solution
Hope this helps anyone else who may stumble upon this.
Hi all!
Quite the n00b at this forum, so bare with me. I've tried to search for a solution to my problem, but haven't been able to find any.
My problem started with me having several app crashes, even those native to the phone like the Market app. I guess it happened after I installed several apps, and also a couple of launchers (ADW and LauncherPro). I decided to uninstall several apps to see if I could get the system running without any more apps crashing when using them. What happened though was that the apps I uninstalled just appeared again after doing a reset of the phone... I've tried it several times, and can't seem to get rid of neither the apps nor the launchers.
After this I thought doing a hard reset might solve the issue, but no go. I got an errormsg in the reset, and when the phone started again, all of my data (contacts, sms and such) was deleted, but most apps, and those launchers, was still there.
Would have posted a picture of it, but since I'm "new", I'm not allowed. The msg was:
multicsc : can not acces to /system/csc/XEE/system/
I don't know if the error is related to the uninstalling problem at all though..
What to do?
Have you tried all ways of uninstalling?
Market/ File Manager/ Managing Applications / Edit Menu?
If not sounds like a factory reset may be in order :/ Or even worse you have to format your SD card as a lot of app data gets saved onto it.
I've tried the factory reset as I also wrote, perhaps I shouldn't have called it a "hard reset"
I guess I can try to format the SD card, perhaps the problem lies with the card. Seems strange though that I don't get an error when trying to uninstall the apps from the "Manage applications" menu..
How can i uninstall via File Manager?
Update: Formating SD card did nothing..
No one got any clue? I just got the phone a couple of days ago, and its quite frustrating not being able to use it properly.
Yet another update: Seems I can't delete _anything_ on the phones internal memory, it just pops up again after doing a restart of the phone. I've even connected it to my PC and deleted some files via explorer..
Maybe its time to install a new rom like Samset 1.9b
As it fully wipes and reinstalls the os. If you don't want to do that I recommend you get it repaired or replaced. I find that factory reset sometimes don't actually work but a new rom does.

Thanks alot for answering
I've considered it. But I'm not sure I want to break my warranty which I guess flashing it might do? And also, if thats the case, it would be real bad to flash it/void warranty, just to find out I need to get it repaired anyways. That would suck bigtime..
I can't for the life of me figure out what might be wrong, seeing as NOTHING stucks to the internal memory after a restart of the phone..
Noone that has got any clues on what to do?
New update:
I've tried updating FW to JM2, seemed to go fine. But after update/flashing, I see that I still got the same apps and desktop background and such lying about.. Nothing seems to have been deleted.. And now I also get app errors immediately after starting up the phone. Menus and such seem to work fine.
Hey guys, ive done some searching but don't seem to be able to find anything that will fix this.
Whatever app I try to download from the market app I get the message that is in the title.
I have cleared the android market app cache and the download manager cache but still the same problem, im at a loss with this and the only thing I can see to do is wipe and start again, but I don't really want to do this so any ideas on how tho fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I know this happens with some, not all apps, regularly with HD2 Android builds. The trick in these scenarios is to unmount your SD card and then download these apps. If it's happening to all of your apps, I'm afraid I don't have the answer.
It seems that the Android Market is down. I have similar issues, tried all the known tricks and then saw Twitter...

Im sorry can you explain unmount for me lol sorry because I'm having that same problems for some apps that I want from marketplace.
This is really strange. I just managed to download/install Current Widget, but I cant even begin to download Angry Birds. It began downloading Retro Clock Widget, but stopped halfway through, and just says "Download Unsuccesfull"..

Settings -> SD Card -> Unmount
Download/install apps from Market
Settings -> SD Card -> Mount
It doesnt seem to help me right now, though..
I'm having some issues as well, it would seem. Some apps installed but some just hang there when they get to %100. Very glad i did a Titanium backup before I wiped my sd card.
Same problem here from yesterday. I think is not a "hd2" related issue, but is a market issue.. until yesterday all worked fine...
market doesn't work, any news about? need android id changer .apk
same here i hit install and i wait forever and still 0%???
same problem on desire of my friend.
Same here.
Card unmount -> Install > mount method worked fine.

Android Market - unsuccessful downloads
Just had a quick question as to a possible solution to get market downloads to succeed. I have tried clearing data, rebooted MANY times, and even did a hard-reset on my WinMo ROM, but to no avail. Please help!! Also I apologize if this question was already asked or answered.. if so please provide a link to the thread. Thanks in advance
UPDATE: Yes the market is now working for me. Thank God!! Downloads happened instantaneously.
the market seems to be messed up
either that, or they started denying requests from 1234567890abcdef device id
debugging mode on plug into USB and hit MOunt Card... nothing comes up in my computer... this only happening since i upgraded to 09...
well i rooted + CWM but thats all no other modds
If you don't have the correct drivers on the computer, you need to turn off debugging.
If you have been ok with adb in the past, then I'm not sure what would have changed to make it stop working.

so turned off debugggin but isntead of SD card showing up i get this instead ....
EDIT:
and im pretty sure got right drivers if it recognizes phone and was able to root
Turn USB debugging on. Reboot phone while connected to PC.

This is NOT a root issue. It is a widespread issue (based on other forums) as well as this one. I have a Mac and I am unrooted and I have yet to figure out a solution. Some PC users are able to find a way around it, sort of. Verizon blames Samsung, Samsung blames Verizon...blah,blah blah! I have already seen posts from 4 other people who had to get new phones. The last Verizon rep I spoke to told me to get an external SD card reader!! I'm losing hope for any additional help. :ma
PS - tried all of the above plus several other tricks...nothing works!
Seriously wtf is this?! I can't believe they released an update that breaks USB mass storage! ****! Perhaps it's finally time to try a ROM...
Edit: tried changing to "ask on connection", works ok. Still annoying!
I have a replacement device on the way for the same basic issue. It wasn't even on DL09 yet
Try freezing the VCast apps with Titanium Backup. That fixed it for me. Verizon is trying to push some new VCast media manager app for your PC, and wont let you directly mount the sdcard anymore, unless you disable those apps.

same my new one wasnt dl09 but regarding the SDCard issue.. restarting phone whiel plugged in worked for me
Same problem here... I'm on a Macbook (gasp!). I love my laptop AND I also love(d) my Android phone. I just want the two to communicate. Is anyone on here willing to develop a fix for us Mac users?
PM me your email, and I'm willing to make a donation to your Paypal.
Thanks in advance!

Can anyone else confirm this?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I also would like to know if somebody else can confirm this, as I'm willing to bet that this fix will apply to all Windows/Mac users who can't mount the sdcard, and also those who are trying to mount the sdcard to a car stereo head unit.
I have the same problem. The problem occurs after I CWM. I started with a scratch DL01, OTA to DL09, rooted and then installed CWM. After doing this twice USB works until I add push CWM.
dl09 works perfectly on ubuntu 10.10. I got the whole fake cd drive thing in windows until I installed the drivers from samsung's site, now it mounts just like before on my other computer.
Install a rom without verizon (vcast

i had the same problem.........did a restart with it hooked to the pc & it installed some drivers and it seems fine now.
Actually, nevermind. I somehow got it to work one time, but when I tried again, it was back to the CD drive. Regardless of whether it's a bug or intentional, it looks like USB mounting is broke for both PCs and Macs. PCs can use the VCast junk software to sync files, but Macs are out of luck. We've got devs working on the code though, so I imagine we'll see a fix in the near future.

Ah, good to know there's a partial workaround. Still, Verizon is gonna get blasted by crippling the phone like this.
Mounting problem didn't happen to me
Stock phone
DLO9 via OTA yesterday.
Today rooted, ROM Manager, Flash CWM.
Only mounting problem in XP was the device showing up as a CD-ROM. That was fixed by unplugging phone, setting usb debugging on, turn off phone, plug phone into computer, and turn device back on.
Now it mounts normally again.
Before I did the rooting I accepted the updated software that was offered when I plugged in the device after the OTA update.
Sorry to those who are having problems.
This is being talked about on lots of android sites/blogs and most are posting 'solutions'.
Hi everyone, well here I go with what I have done and wish I didn't do...
Ok we all know about the app that lets us move our apps to SD, well what I have done, is that I started moving everything to SD, and I mean everything. Mainly I did it because well I am a noobie and didn't realize the problems that it would cause. I figured it would work, reason I moved them over was because of the increase SD speed app. I figured everything would run alot faster.
Well after doing it, I messed my phone up badly, I couldn't do anything so I went back to 1.2.6 SBF using a very well written guide here on the XDA Forums.
Well everything went fine, it was installed and everything worked after that EXCEPT I cannot install anything and I cannot root, I am probably also unable to do other little things that I am unaware of too but so far installing apps and not being able to ROOT is the main issue. I guess ABP isn't working.
I need some real help on this issue and I am really hoping someone can point me to the right direction on how to fix this. If you need more information let me know.
Thanks everyone, I hope there is a resolve for this issue, I miss my phone.
Bumping this topic,
has anyone else had this problem or knows how I can completely fix it?
Bump....
Ok dude, which version is your phone?
you do not need to move everything to SD
Start again, backup your internal sd card to PC
.
http://briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root
follow the information this. BUT before you run the app on the phone, unmount internal SD from settings--> SD card and phone stroage and run the app. That way nothing is deleted.
I was given this by crnkoj (i cant remember his user but from moto-atrix channel) , so Thanks to him for showing me
Also, enable sideloading after root with Gladenabler ----->
