well i am not alone anymore.

No not alone on this one. Have flashed with Odin is no work. but I have a feeling that theres something wrong with my internal SD card. Is there a Fix for corrupted SD CARDS For Galaxy S. Can you try to format in windows Fats or do I need Linux. I have formated from phone and from kies, my folders go away but when I reboot the phone is back the same with all my folders back again. please help if any ideas. thanks

I've had this one before, needed to format my sd memory (int and ext). All was well then.

Fixing "Unknown reason 18" market error

So I was getting unknown reason 18 error when trying to install certain apps from the market.
I've googled and search the forum. The best answer I could get was to wipe and reinstall the ROM, which I did not want to do.
Then I checked the logs and figured out the problem was that all those apps that would fail were trying to install on SD card by default.
The solution: move all the apps back to phone, put your microSD into a card reader and delete .android_secure folder. That's it!
didn't work for me
Worked
That worked for me. For ever I could not update Sky map. When I could not install Angry Birds I went "searching".
Thank you for the fix.
I don't think it'll work for me either.
None of my apps are on my SD. I know this because I can't even do that. When I try to transfer an app to sd it the progress bar just hangs there (doesn't move it just shows the striped pattern)
It worked!
Hey ho, it worked!! Finally the nagging issue is resolved (for me)
I can't find that folder/file! :S
.android_secure is hidden, you need to enable showing hidden files on your file manager. I use ES File Manager and it has such feature.
...or, you can just make sure your app is installed on the phone, then unmount the SD before updating.

Holy crap! It worked for me. I didn't have anything installed on the SD card either.
when your market chache is moved to the SD then move it back to the internal memory and clear the market data...
Worked for me... Thanks a lot...
i've had this error for quite some time - i realized i need to move the app back to phone in order to update it and then move it back to SD card.
Will try this method!
Thanks for posting
thank god this!!!!! work i'm was getting piss off at is unknown 18 **** it was hunting me in my dreams THANKYOU
Please, I have the same problem but I haven't space in my phone to return the SD apps. Is there another way to solve this?
Simple FIX
Just take out the sd card, install whatever is giving you an error, then pop the sd card back in. No fuss no muss!
Nice SIMPLE solution!
Thank you. Didn't involve rooting the phone, installing adb, saying magic mantras etc. etc.
Thanks

Ok, so I figured out a solution that is hopefully "better" and "quicker" for all. Simply connect your phone to your computer (as USB Mass storage), browse to the folder '.android_secure' (make sure you can view hidden files/folders in windows) and delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec' (I just renamed it 'smdl2tmp1.asec.delete' just in case it didn't work).
Problem solved! Everything updates just fine now and I didn't have to move any apps back from the SD card to the phone.

Yea...just this guys.
zero need to delete, move, etc.
Just unmount the SD, instead of taking it out...

I recently have experienced the same problem and I spent nearly 3 days to get my phone back to work.
The issue is probably caused by broken app file on SD card.
I'm sure there's one way to replay the issue: get more than 100 apps on SD card, then use Titanium Backup to move all apps from internal storage to SD card, before it finishes (near the end) force close Titanium Backup. On next boot, Android won't be able to load all apps on SD card anymore.
My solution was:
Connect the sd card onto a computer using a card reader. Go to .android_secure folder, then sort by modifying date. Delete few latest apps then put the SD back to your phone but you have to re-install the apps which you deleted.
Good luck!
If you use apps to ext, you can just restore your nandroid...

Thanks! I did what you said only I deleted all the apps in the android secure folder to be sure. And so far is working well for a couple of days. Thank you again.

Force Close all apps after flash

This is a different issue. It doesnt matter what rom I put in, I always get the force close for all the apps. Now I dont know what rom to put in. I put in any rom, initially I get the setup wizard force close, then the google search, market and so on. I have done clearing the cache, tried different kernels.
Another strange that I notice is that whenever I wipe the caches and do a factory reset, there still remains some files in the internal sd card. I formated the sd card as well but when I goto the recovery menu, I still see it. Im trying to fix this issue for the last 3 days. Could some one please help me?
Always make a factory redet after flashing.

I have done factory reset several times. One interesting thing is how many times I do the wiping, the internal sd card still holds some old files. I have even tried to format the sd card but to no help. I still then files. The files are related to CWM and the back up files.

I seen this problem in another thread.. I think it's hardware related... so you might have to send it to Samsung

ummm.. SWAP IS NOT SD-EXT MEMORY you know it, right?
So you can format your sd in fat32 format and then you should re-partition it again using the correct kernel/script

boot into recovery wipe cache
wipe dalvik cache
do not to factory reset cos you may get a bootloop
in link2 sd clear cache and refresh
also if you use root explorer you can go to system to app and delete unwanted things but do it only if you know what you are doing
you can also delete lib files which you think are unnecessary also be careful here bcos you may get a soft brick if you delete something important in that case if nothing goes right place a custom rom in your sd card and install via cwr
please hit thanks man

Cant factory reset

Hello everyone i been searching and browsing the forums but cant seem to find the solution on this phone, i havent been able to factory reset my phone in years..
I have tried a thousand things factory reset with phone on formatting in CWM and doing a hard reset no matter what i do i can still se folders on my internal card from old apps and stuff..
What can i do ?
I dont care if i have to do something drastic and start over from the beginning because i have lost alot of space this way..
I hope someone can help me..
Find format internal sd card option in cwm, that will completely erase internal sd card content. You can then flash kdz to go back to stock , or flash another rom from external sd card
I will try that and sorry to everyone for posting in the wrong forum like a ******* noob i thought i were in the question forum..
I dont have the format sdcard option but i have a format system option is that the same thing.. ?

I actually fixed it, i formatted everything except system in cwm.. Went back to rom and did a factory reset AGAIN and then like magic everything was perfect.. !
I think there were some corrupted files in one of the folders that i formatted with cwm..
Thanks for your help guys..
