hey guys. i was using the phone, browsing xda. saw on another board about neocore so went to download it from the market. while it downloaded i also downloaded nenamark and got it installed and ran it while neocore still said "installing"
i tried to stop the download but on market it said "installing" in grey and couldn't cancel. then went to applications manager to force close market and clear data/cache, and all the apps were showing as "computing" and never computed. i couldn't clear the data/cache from market, it said recalculating and stayed there.
i tried updating some other apps through market and all of them stayed on installing.
so i went back to a backup i had made earlier today. wiped data/cache/dalvik twice, nand restore.
same issue. everything stuck on computing. none of my sd apps are showing in LPP's drawer. nothing opens from the homescreens either. in sd card storage the card shows as mounted but when i try to unmount it force closes.
can't access the memory card through the phone but can through Amon_RA's MS Toggle function.
any clues what happened?!
i'm going to try reformatting the card, but this is a new 16gb that i've had for about a month or so only.
any ideas are great!
EDIT: moved everything out of the sd card. reformatted. put the files back. same issue. now i wiped cache and dalvik again and reinstalled netarchy's kernel. booting up now...
ANYONE?!
BUMP...
PLEASE GUYS NEED HELP HERE.
i've wiped and flashed, reformatted the memory card. reinstalled the kernel. same result.
what is missing?!
the memory card is working fine other than within the phone. works in amon-ra ms-toggle and on my computer.
HELP!!!
BUMP.
57 views and no answers? come on i know someone here must know what's going on.
I tried flashing my rom against over this one without wiping data (hoping not to lose my apps) and the apps stayed there. but after a reboot the same situation happened.
i wiped and restored my nand backup again. same thing. the phone "sees" the sd card but wont read from it. twice yesterday night after a long time (maybe 1-2 hours) it would suddenly see all the apps and everything would work. then i rebooted, and back to the same issue. then it picked up the apps again. i unmounted the sd card and remounted, and again the same issue.
it's all connected to the phone not accessing anything that's on the SD card, yet not giving any errors when it's "Preparing SD card..." or when I go in to see the storage information.
the memory card is accessible through amon_ra and when I take it out of the phone. reads/writes/formats just fine. so the memory card is fine.
i'm 100% sure it's a software issue. something is messing up and I can't pinpoint it. is there a file/process responsible for loading apps/dependencies from the sd card?
i can make phone calls, texts, etc. everything that's on the phone's memory works. so i'm being patient trying to find a solution to the problem (i.e. keep using my current rom and data) without starting all over.
let's work this out.
I'll buy a beer to whoever can help me fix this
Have u tried deleting the backups from a aosp rom? Try it to see if it works. Sign into ur google account. Go into the privacy setting and Deselect automatic restore and uncheck the other option.

Some how you screwed your symlinks.
Put a good nandroid on your old sdcard. Restore your from it. Down load Titanium back up from market, DO NOT MOVE IT TO THE SDCARD. Test it. Unmount the old sdcard. Shutdown, swap sdcards, reboot, run market doctor from Titanium Backup. You will then have to reload all your apps from market.
You could do the same from a complete cold reinitialization of the phone. Just skip the restore and replace it with a complete wipe, without the 16gb, but with the original sdcard. Proceed from there with the Loading of Tibackup from market...

If nothing else works I'll try your idea but it defeats the purpose of my post. I have over 200 apps, a good portion of which are not from the market...
I need to fix the problem from within my current rom...

Market Doctor found no recoverable links.
when I load Titanium Backup it says it's finding 310 user apps but only 61 are showing under backup/restore. all my non-working apps are showing there greyed out with a line through them. so titanium is acknowledging they're not installed...how do i install them?!
EDIT: this didnt add any new links to Market. but even trying to install the links that were already there (for paid apps), everything still gets stuck on installing. with the other sd card i was able to install titanium backup and root explorer. before i changed the cards...any new ideas?

The gray, lined out apps just mean that the apps are not installed.click on menu then on batch then screen down to restore all installed apps and data. If an app will not install, it Is stuck without a market link. Look in your download folder on your sd card. Use astro file explorer. You will see several files called download, download1, download2, etc. these are all of the files you downloaded that did not install. Quick click on the files and the manager option will pop up.select it and your file will install. Delete these files after you are done. Use market doctor to fix your links. HTH.

i had already tried that. under batch all the restore options have a 0 next to them and when i run them they say batch completed but nothing changed. there is no .apk files in my downloads folder because these arent files that i downloaded but didnt install. these are 200+ apps that i've had for days, weeks, some even months, that now aren't seen by the phone.
anyone else?
---------------
EDIT: fixed my issue. it looks like it came down to a bad file on the sd card. reformatted the sd card again, put back my data files, music, etc, but no android files. then wiped and restored the same backup that wasn't working. worked. reloaded apps from market, reloaded the ones that weren't from market that I had saved on my computer. and since the nandroid worked I have the folder links to all other apps i'm missing so i can download them as i need them.
I'm buying myself a beer!
so i have decided no matter which build i use i can not instal weatherbug on it. it will download but will not instal. it simply stops the instal process after it downloads and wont instal. i tried the whole unmount sd card and all that and it will not work. not a huge deal but still anoying. then i tried to instal the mobile photobucket app and it does the same thing.
so i decide hey why not just download the apk online and instal them that way. well umm i cant find them anywhere. all i can find is the warewz sites and i dont want that. i dont trust them and dont want stuff messing up my phone. anyone know where to find the free versions of these and other apps online in apk form?

You need to fix your market download issue. Menu, applications, manage, all, scroll to market, delete data, force close, go back to market and get android id changer. Use that to change your id to something other than what is shown with same number of characters.
This of course assumes you are using froyo.
You can get you actual id ny flashing stock and using the app then save file which can then be used in the future
Swyped...and sorry I don't proofread
that worked. as a matter of fact it worked so well that the phone upon reboot would be stuck in a endless android logo loading loop and i had to reformat the sd card and start over.
on the bright side i dont know what went wrong the first time but this time with the same build both weatherbug and photobucket instaled form the market with no issues so yea
Your sd card had bad sectors, formatting corrected it
yea which is odd sense i did a full format of the card before i put this build on it. actually im using a 8gb level 8 card for this and keeping another build on the 16gb card that comes with the hd2 so if something happens and i dont have time to fix it i can just do a quick sd card switch and be good to go lol.
Not sure what would have caused the issue with your sd card or boot loop. Killing the market would not have that result. Not sure why changing your id would cause that either. I am glad you finally got it though even though it was not easy
Swyped...and sorry I don't proofread
yea its all good now. thanks for the help anyway.
ive been trying to figure this out since yesterday but i am completely lost and really need help..
this started yesterday. i had my phone connected with adb and pulled some files (LatinIME.apk, framework-res.apk). i did not push or delete any. around the same time i download fx camera. all the work i did was actually just on the computer. the only thing i did on the phone around that time was use root explorer to check the name of the .apk for fx camera.
im not sure if any of that could possibly mean anything but i thought maybe it was worth mentioning.
here are the symptoms. right after i was done the phone was acting sluggish and crappy (it always does when i disconnect from usb since i switched to froshedyo v10) so i rebooted. upon booting up, 90% of apps were missing. i didnt feel like using titanium backup to manually "ok" each install, so i opted for a fairly recent NAND backup to restore to. i did but upon booting up, the same apps were missing.. very weird right? i know they were there when i made the backup.. so now i decided i had to use titanium. but when i began i noticed that it wouldnt install any app. it would hang on the "installing" screen forever. i rebooted and this time tried an app from the market, only to have the same results.
i did try wiping everything and starting fresh (with froshedyo v10). a strange thing happened. after logging in and setting up the basics i left it alone to restore the apps. when i checked later i had the notification, "applications partially restored". i never had that before.. it seemed like maybe a few more apps were there, but not much. i was mostly in the same boat. and again, titanium backup and market would not install any apps..
please help.. whats going on??
---------latest info--------
i wiped everything and tried to start fresh with a brand new copy of nonsensikal 16.1. no apps were restored, and i am unable to install or uninstall any app on the phone. it will just hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
i have done multiple wipes and flashes, testing each time to see if anything is working, but it has not worked once. i can not install or uninstall any apps.
Were you using Apps2sd? I wonder if it could be something with that. Especially if your rom seems to be fine. Is everything else showing up on your sd card?
the file manager on the phone shows all my sd card contents just fine.
i believe when i first installed this rom about a week ago i did find an option somewhere in settings that said "choose location to install apps" (i chose external) and "allow moving of apps to external" (i chose yes).

oooh, i would love to download that app from the market if it might fix my inability to download and install apps. if only i was able to download and install apps..
Oops, my bad. I just skimmed over your post and saw 90% of apps gone. So even if you had an apk on your sdcard it wont let you install it?

I don't think you have a market problem...it sounds like an sd card issue which would explain alot of the symptoms including issues when unmounting from pc. If all your apps are installed on the sd and the card doesn't mount right they will "dissapear" as you have described. Try changing the setting to install apps back to internal and then apps should install. If apps install after you do that it probably means the sdcard is corrupted so you will need to back up the files on your sd and then reformat the card. PLEASE remember to back up the sd card before reformatting since it has your nand backups on it. The market fix is only a fix for apps not showing in the market not on the phone.
lol its ok rhamej.
i think i should clarify though that i do have a market. it may be worth noting that i used to have a blue themed market, which during this problem seems to have reverted to the stock green market. but i do have a market.
when i try to install from the market, it just kind of stalls when i accept the terms and permissions needed by the app. like, when i click the final "ok" which should then lead to the app actually beginning to download, it just stops. doesnt freeze the market or FC, its almost like the button is unresponsive.
when i try to install an app via file manager from sd card, it hangs on the "installing" screen. same with titanium backup.
----------developments------------
i couldnt stand not having my apps so i did a NAND back to nonsensikal. my apps were all restored this time but im still having problems installing.
from the sd card: hangs on install.
from the market: now will download, but hangs on install.

we must have been posting at the same time but these all still sound like what i mentioned in my above post. Your apps are back with nonsensikal because they probably weren't installed on sd when you made the nand for that rom.

lol posting at same time again...you are probably typing right now...try rebooting the phone also after the setting has been changed....for some reason froyo depends too much in my opinion on the sd card and really can cause issues with it.
quick question. what format should my micro sd card be in? i know i formatted it right around the time i got it, to FAT32. im assuming thats correct but i would like to double check. google isnt answering my question fast enough..
still no progress.
i wiped everything, flashed a new nonsensikal 16.1. apps didnt automatically come back. i can not install or uninstall apps on the phone. they all hang on the installing/uninstalling screen.
how could this have happened? how can i fix it? i will gladly do a more thorough wipe. i wiped data and davlick. what else could i do to completely reset my phone to fix this problem? that is assuming that there is no other ideas of options.. i hope there is!
edit: in regards to previous ideas, i reformatted my sd card (FAT32) and replaced all the files.

You could try the flashback 21 file here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792026
That should take you back to stock and replace your custom recovery with the default one. You could then re-root. I don't know if that's what you want, but that would be about as complete of a reset as you could get as far as I know.
Does anyone else know if this is the best option? I would hate to mislead...
I had a problem similar to this after I dropped my phone. I could not install any apps (market or .apk) and reading of my SD card was spotty at best. What fixed it for me was first deleting the .android-secure folder on the sd card. [NOTE!: this may delete some/all apps/app data you have so I hope you have a backup]. I have no idea why but the .android-secure was not happy at all ;] I believe you have to delete it on a computer because android file managers just can't do it.

Did you put all your files back on your sd card after reformatting it? I would try reformatting the card and then see if it works before you put your files back on. Like the previous poster said the android_secure folder could be messed up and if your copying it back could still cause issues.

well that android_secure thing seems to have been the problem! thank you guys very much! i just deleted it and rebooted and i am now able to install and uninstall apps, both from the sd card and market.
it got to the point where i couldnt connect via usb unless i was in recovery so things were getting pretty frustrating. im glad its over. any guesses what might have caused this craziness?
I appologize if this is in wrong place.
I have been trying to download angry birds on my droid X and as it goes to install I get a failed to download notification and a pop-up that says "unknown reason - 18" does anyone know anything about this or how I can fix it?

I had the same problem. I was able to get it to download after I remove the SD card from the phone. Once the game was install. I reinstall my SD card. That will fix it for now.
I had this happen to a few apps that I had moved to the SD card. Moved them back to phone storage and then they updated fine.
The fix for this is to delete the android.secure folder on the sd card.one of the files there is corrupt. You may need to reinstall a few of the apps listed in there, so you might want to back it up just for app reference.
I had this issue for months until someone gave me this fix, and the issue will cause all sorts of install headaches.
I have the Developers Edition of S5 and I successfully flashed recovery TWRP and root last night. I tried backing up apps to ext sd card in Titanium Backup but it keeps saying insufficent storage available error. However i can install play store apps without problems. I have over 5GB of data free. And my sd cards wont show via usb over computer on Mac. The option is grey out and android transfer doesnt work displaying an error message to restart device but it doesnt work either. USB debugging is enabled. I installed and uninstalled kies3 for Mac which also wont work. Any suggestions on these problems that can fix them? I'm pretty frusterated at the moment. I didnt have this problem with my HTC Rezound before.

1) you need to have sdcard access via root to write to it. Blame kitkat. Use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.sdfix
2) I can all but guarantee your backup exceeds your available 5gbs free, that's why it's failing. Backup one or two apps and I bet they go through.
