I formatted /data and /sdcard because I was resetting and formatting storage as I was selling my one. The buyer wanted cyanogenmod on it. So I flashed it but forgot to flash Google apps so now when I unlock the phone it just keeps force closing and I can't even connect the USB cable to drag and drop Google apps.. How do I get the Google apps file on the phone so I can use twrp to flash it? I can't go restore any backups as they deleted when I formatted /data.
How do I fix this? I have backups on my computer but how do I get those on the phone???

I am playing this game but didn't meet this problem.
wt rom and kernel you are using?
Or u may try clear data of the market and see if the problem is solved..
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
I have the same problem. I think, that there is problem with SD card. If i change SD card, market instal it and everything is OK. I tried format card in phone, in windows, but the same problem. Try move the game to the phone, then install upgrade and then you can move it to SD card.
Yeah, i tried to clear data of the market but it still cant help =[[[
I put some apps back to phone storage and some of them can be upgraded again but still some cant (

Delete the file 'smdl2tmp1.asec'. It can be at 2 places:
1. /sdcard/.android_secure
or
2. /mnt/secure/asec/ (you need to be rooted if you want to delete it from here).
I deleted it from the /mnt/secure/asec folder and everything works fine ever since.
If you can't find this file you can just simply unmount your sdcard from the settings menu, download your app and then remount the sdcard.
I hope this helps.
I dont have this file. I thing, that problem is with SD card. If I try another one, everything is OK.
try to repair you SD Card via PC
I flashed cm10 in cwm and it worked fine. Then I flashed jb gapps rebooted the phone. Android updated finishing boot. And when I go to use the phone it crashes and I can only manual boot into cwm and restore. Is it a bad download or is it cos cm10 is only a nightly and it could be a bit buggy

Download the gapps again and flash it using recovery over the old apps
I will try that thanks.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It works thanks. But everytime I boot my device it says the process gapps has stopped. I press on OK and it all works fine. Its funny.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
Hmmm .. in that case you need a clean flash of the rom again followed by the gapps again
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
A clean flash. U mean factory reset and wipe cache
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
no i mean flash the current rom again using the wipes and formats (system data preload cache) and install the rom again the way you did it
I really appreciate or help, I'm a little confussed how I perform what or saying to do can u plz give me instructions a little more detailed. I'm still kinda learning as I go. And also do know what my external SD card is called in cm10. I can see it in the settings under storage. But I can't find it in any file browsers es or cm file browser.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
its should be in /storage/sdcard1 or /storage/extSdCard
make sure you have all the files needed to flash the rom on the phone..
now boot into recovery and go to mounts and storage
format /system, data, cache, preload
go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache as well
now > install zip from sd and flash the rom again followed by gapps
**** the above steps is assuming that you are still on the Cm10 kernel as its safe
Thanks sorted it out. But still no ext SD card. I know there is a lot of confussion with where SD cards are mounted in cm builds.

What's there us the /storage/ mount?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
For some reason SDcard 0 and sdcard 1 r both mounted in internal memory. ICS SD binder locates my external SD card in mnt/obb. So I thought that's where it is. But when I copy a file to mnt/obb it does not go to the external card I can't access it anywhere.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
If it helps when I go into settings/ storage and go right to the last option I can't press on it to mount or unmount SD card. Do I need to mount it? Is this my problem
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda app-developers app
It just says insert an SD card for mounting

So after recently AE swapping my device, somewhere during the process of rooting the new one the recovery discovered a glitch. If I boot into recovery it says. "can't mount /recovery/cache" and if I try to install a zip from the SD it doesn't show any of my folders. It shows probably 6 folders all empty that I can't find anywhere on my SD. "GPU, weather, messages." I have tried re installing the recovery.

which recovery?
Um it's currently CWM touch but I tried putting regular CWM and it had the same issue. TWRP also shows no difference.

is there currently a rom loaded? if so I would say connect to it with command prompt and see if you can see the files with an adb shell
Yes the phone itself is working just fine. I sideloaded a rom. However not having working recovery is a significant annoyance. So I'm really just trying to fix the recovery itself.
Sent from my HTCONE using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
So I just tried going to recovery. It displays the message.
" E: can't mount /recovery/cache/log
/recovery/cache/last_log
Recovery/cache/command. "
When I go to install from SD I don't see my SD folders. I only see.
" /0
/GPU
/clockworkmod
/mms
/weather"
None of these folders are on the root of my SD...

That's because you flashed a 4.2.2 Rom. Wipe your internal storage, reboot and copy your storage contents back to the phone.
Fyi your root has changed to /data/media/0/

Interesting, if I had flashed a 4.2.2 rom... But I didn't. I only flashed Ecliptic... But I'll try that fix thanks.

You've been visiting naughty sites!
Try force stop before uninstalling.
Daily motion, lucky patcher, etc. I tried to force stop before uninstalling and that didn't work. No naughty sites.

Looks like these are on your SD card. Did you try backing up internal storage, removing external SD then delete? Might have to do some SD house cleaning!
No I haven't tried that. What would be the process?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Backup internal storage to PC, then go to settings/general/storage and select format SD card. Do the same with your external SD but use a card reader with your PC. Delete the apps again and reboot. Hopefully the rouge apps will not reappear. Then copy the files you know back into internal storage. Try not to over write anything in internal storage unless you're sure you know what it is. Same for external. Format SD card then copy back the files from the backup you made. If you're not sure about a file, don't copy it back to storage. Hopefully this will take care of the issue. It's also good to clean stuff from storage that serves no purpose. Good luck!

If I format my internal sd without backing it up what will I lose? Im not worried about anything on it getting lost.

Everything you see in that directory when you view it on a computer.. You will loose all photos, music, games and any other personal data or apps you have downloaded or installed. You will basically have a new phone with only stock apps and data on it.

Ran into some road blocks with CM Nightlies. I install the new one everyday if they have one for download.
I downloaded todays version, rebooted into recovery to install. Now my phone is telling me there is no SD card to mount. Okay, whatever, I go to reboot my phone and now I have an encryption password to access the files on there. I have never set one. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix this?

Still no dice. It just keeps telling me it count mount the SD card... Should I try flashing TWRP or another recovery?
So I was able to mount an external SD card and install the update. However, the phone is still encrypted. I never encrypted my phone so I don't even know how to go about getting around this. Does anyone have any ideas?
This phone was working just fine on the Nightlies until this...
Try flashing to a Stock ROM and then going back to Cyanogenmod
Sent from my 831C using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Found a fix. Apparently this is a somewhat common problem.
I went to Mounts and Storage on Clockworkmod, then format /data and /data/media (/sdcard). From there I installed the latest Nightlies and Gapps. Lost everything on my phone, but luckily all the important stuff is shared with my cloud services. Thanks for the help man!
