So I had BusyBox on my phone, and deleted it.. Then going through my SD card to delete a folder for something else I noticed a file called BusyBox, so I went to delete it.. Then it started to delete the entire internal SD slot, and from what it looks like formatted the drive.. Now I've lost all my music and any game files that were on there. WTH happened?
Have you tried a reboot
yea, rebooted and everything was gone..
might be usefull to note that I'm running the leaked 2.2 and rooted..
It showed int eh notifications that it was deleting everything, if I tried to intterupt it, it did nothing.. So I forced a restart before it finished and it was all gone..
Can't say i know what to tell you
ooops!! that's what backups are good for. Hopefully you had one.
For the most part I did, I just had to re-dl game data which wasn't a problem looks like the saves were on the phone memory and not the sd.. Had most of my pictures on my comp, and music was easily put back on.. So I didn't really lose to much, just a few pictures.. Just found that odd is all..

Hi guys,
I am a noob at android and rooting.
However, I successfully rooted my N1 last night and flashed it with Cyanogen 5.0.5.3.
Everything worked well until I started using the camera. I took the photos and it stored in the gallery under "Camera".
However, when I mounted my SD card to my computer, there was no DCIM/Camera folder.
I unmounted, went back into the gallery and it was gone.
I ended up formatting my SD card as I didnt mind losing everything.
I had apps2sd checked. When I went to marketplace the apps already said "installed". I reinstalled/downloaded everything. The SD card is a mess now.
For example, twidroid folder went missing so no display pictures show up. I uninstalled/reinstalled it and then it worked, however after mounting it no twidroid folder was created, I unmounted and then twidroid display pictures were gone.
I formatted my SD card again now. Want to start fresh...
Now when I go to manage my applications I have things like
"android.tether"
"com.adobe.psmobile"
"come.android.googlesearch"
etc. I want all of this gone, want to start over and want my camera/gallery to start working again.
Sorry for the long post but any help is greatly appreciated!
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Update. Ok I formatted the SD card from settings. No longer have Apps2SD.
Now I just want to delete the applications from the application manager.
Things such as "android.tether" etc as mentioned above.
Is there any way I can use Apps2SD without it messed up the camera folders, etc?
Thanks.
I use apps2sd and the camera works correctly.
tether and googlesearch are system apps and you won't be able to remove them through the application manager, it has to be done through terminal or adb but why would you want to remove them?
It sounds like you might have messed up the partitions? how large is your sd card and how big did you make the ext2/3 partition and what fomat are you using ext2 or 3?
Hi, Im trying to exchange my phone and Im having issues with getting the phone bone stock. I used odin 1 click, did a factory data reset, and all my pictures, app folders and various other things are still on the internal SD card. I was using titanium backup, I think thats the cause (not sure though)
I also just flashed JH3, super rooter, and the OC kernel. But as far as I can tell, those are back to factory. I just cant wipe all my data and I dont know if doing it manually will clear up everything.
Suggestions/questions? Thanks!
I even tried the master clear. I can still see files for shootme, sl4a, clockworkmod, update.zip's, and tons of other folders including busybox
Did you try connecting your phone to your computer, mounting the sd card, then open the driver than your sd card is on and manually delete the files that way? You can move the titanium back up to an external sd card and see if that helps.
Go to Titanium Backup support and shoot them a pm, they got back to me within a day when I had questions if you think it's related to that.

I can do that, But what Im worried about is all the application data (including data for apps that require root) wont be deleted. Im not sure exactly what I would have to do to remove that as well. I wanted to leave it there, so that if I did manage to wipe it, Id know for sure everything was gone.
Ill also try sending them a message. Is it on that forum site they link to? Its not very clear as to how to contact them

I pm'd Shazd, I have the pro donated version so I had everything backed up, moved the folder for Titanium Backup and the folder for Titanium license to my exteral card. Then I flashed with Odin to stock and swapped my phone for a new one. Then I put the sd card in the new phone, connected to my computer and moved the files to the internal sd, installed Titanium from the market and when it installed my entire backup was there, settings, apps, and data were all there. I did a restore and everything was just as my old phone. Then I installed Unleash The Beast, the cool battery indicator, thanks to Designgears and the rest is history. When I flashed with Odin, all evidence of root were gone. AT&T didn't even check the phone, all I said was random shutdowns and a crack in the screen and they swapped it.
I have the paid donate version as well. I mean, I have the backup saved to my microsd and on my computer, Its just weird, I mean for some reason its not wiping. Im literally trying everything. I had a backup with clockwork mod and I re-rooted with 1 click root so that I could run that... It may be super rooter, Im starting to think thats more the case. But I really am just stumped
I flashed with Odin3 one click, maybe that's the difference. What did you use exactly?

Both versions lol. 1-click and version 1.0 or whatever by flashing the stock firmware Jh6 from samsung-firmwares.com. I even tried a factory data reset
It may just be files in my internal SD card themselves that arent being deleted... but Im not really sure
It didn't wipe all of my info when I did master clear and then doing the one click wipe. I'm bit sure why it wouldn't either but it did remove most of what I wanted gone.
Sweet life
Huh... Well I did a bunch of clear cache things, wiped my internal sd, and went throught my phone with root explorer and deleted whatever else I found. Wow that was a huge hassle
I think the best thing to do in the future is clear all user data through clockwork, then use odin for master clear then odin start to do it all. It is a hassle that's for sure.
The SD cards (internal and external) are not cleared with a full system wipe. When you delete all data through a system clear, it deletes everything stored internally to apps - in the phone memory where apps are installed.
Although the internal SD card is not really an SD card, the system treats it as an SD card. You can unmount both internal and external SD cards and then format them - that will wipe all data. Follow that with a system reset or Odin 1 click recovery and everything on your phone is factory new.
The phone is behaving as designed.
hey guys,
i ve really big problems with the android_secure folder on internal sd card.
i install a lot of apps with 91 mobile pc suite direct to sd card and everything works fine.
but before i finished installing all my apps, everytime the .androoid_secure folder gets corrupted.
then market doenwload doesn´t work anymore, i can´t move apps to sd and all my apps i moved/intsalled to sd are disappeared!!!!
they are all gone!! in settings-applications- on sd- they´re still visible, but greyed out and without appsymbols.
i don´t know when exactly it happens, just everytime when i nearly finished installing all my apps, or backed them up with titanium.
sometimes it helps to rename the android_secure folder to somethig different (p.e. android_secure2), reboot, so the phone creates a new one, then move all entries from android_secure2 to android_secure and reboot again.
then the apps are back again. but sometimes it doesn´t help and i got to install all apps again (about 1,4 gb).
so i repeated this procedure about 10 times and spend more then 3 days. so i really don´t know what do do!!! can somebody help me? why the android_secure folder always gets corrupted?? is there a way to get the apps back again??
i already formatted the sd, searched for errors, used sdrescan etc...
please help.
Recently I have problem with apps/games that become corrupted after a while and dont know whats going on with the phone.
In Manage Applications some of the apps/games become greyed out and displayed 0 kb. Even I uninstalled all those greyed out apps and after a reboot. They come back again in manage applications.
What can causing those corrupted apps/games?
Mine phone are rooted + cwm and stock Nordic ROM.
had you used anything like apps2sd to move the apps to/from the sd card?
ive had it happen on my old hd2 but this was due to a failed retore from a backup and apps not being linked in correctly

No, never used any app2sd before and never move any app/game to mine external sd either.
Even I reinstalled all those greyed out at manage applications and uninstall it directly. After reboot, it still there and I just dont know whats happening.
Ex, I installed tip off basketball game from market, play it for few minutes and after a moment. The game get corrupted and displayed as 0kb greyed out.
That apps dispalyed as SD in screenshot means, thay are installed on internal memory SD and not external_sd location.
Any got a clue whats going on?
possibly a corrupt system, might want to back it up and wipe it clean
I can't believe this.
The same crap happened to me on a second XT890. I'm lost for words.
here is what happened.:
Got a phonecall, when I wanted to pick it up the phone would turn off saying not enough power, at 30 % !!???
Ok, so no big deal I thought,...turned it back on, had the same person calling me, everything was fine. Then i noticed the stored mms images would not load inside the conversations. Si turned the phone off and on again, mms images are loading again.
Got another phone call and my personal ringtone, gone, no longer there. Couldn't even switch it back even though the file, supposedly was there. Then I tried to play the file, google play music would not.
Next, all my images are gone, no longer folders of the camera and images and videos. Using quickoffice , that app says, no files on the internal sd card! WTF!?
Turning the phone off an on again, let me see the files on the card again, even let me play an audio file, going in and out of the folder, the files disappeared again.
So long story short. Everything seems to work except my files are gone and quickoffice and fileviewers won't find the files. When i put in an external sd card that works fine on other devices, it won't load the files, images, videos, only maybe 3 of 100!? What the hell.
This is the second time on a different phone but same model this has happened.
I can't afford to loose the images and recordings. are they gone? what has happened? I ran DR Fone recovery, and even that won't find the images i need,
Phone is rooted. And it's driving me nuts. Battery was replaced 6 months ago, everything was fine. Now that.
Please help, need my files, desperately.
What could have caused this? ? What is not working properly? Indexing? Gallery? Quickoffice?
Could be a corruption in the data
" corruption on your internal memory
" corruption on the system partition or dalvik
See if adb can find the files on your internal sdcard. With the command: adb shell ls /storage/sdcard0/[path to video/photo]
Thanks will try.!
In the meantime Root Browser shows the sd card as empty, and last time changed as 8/5/12 which was the build date of the phone.... :-/
Funky, When hooking up for adb and running a command the files and sd card became visible. So while visible I was able to safe all the files to external card. When restarting the phone the internal sd and files disappeared again. I cleared cache and dalvik and media storage, no effect. files remain hidden. Running sd maid it says system files are hidden. using es file explorer running showing hidden files i get a no permission response. same for sd card, says no permission. so something is blocking me. virus? i don't really use wlan or internet, wondering how to get everything working again. files and everything is there, but i have no access.
Still looks like a corruption somewhere. I should just safe all files that u need, backup data and do a full system restore and start over. With full I mean also a internal memory wipe.
Maybe there is a much better option, but I don't know any atm.
Still fiddling with it. Thought I just do a factory reset. Well didn't work.
Somehow before I did the reset the media store app was moved to sd card and a different apk was placed in system / app folder.
After the restart you guessed it, all data was gone as expected. Gallery and ringtones and video, and so on won't show. The media storage apk is in system/app folder, but it won't show under settings/apps/all.....
Not being an expert I think I messed this up by switching out the apks,.../
The one now in the system folder is: version 4.04-1351904261 but I need version 4.04-1344118159
Who can tell me where i can find one?
