Yes I know the title is a bit long, but there's no other way to say it.
After updating my rom to android revolution hd 84,I've encountered a small problem: I can't copy single files larger than 3-4MB to some of my root folders.
I discovered this when I tried to change my kernel and my phone restated. I thought it was incompatible but then it happened again when I tried to change my bootanimation.
Basically whenever I try to copy a single file larger than 3-4MB to some of my root folders, my phone auto-deletes it and restarts.
And yes, I've unlocked my bootloader, rooted my phone and I have busybox.
EDIT: Also forgot to mention, I'm using X-Plore as a file manager, and all root folders have a little purple circle on their corner. I can do whatever I want normally in those folders. However, most folders have a red circle and coincidentally, those are the folders which restart my phone and delete all files over 3-4MB that are put into them.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?
Bump, has anyone got any ideas?

sounds like the kernal to me, you seem to have write protection, have you tried changing the permissions on the folder your trying to write files too or even try another kernal.
I tried a lot of different permissions, nothing works. And since it's got write protection, I CAN'T change the kernel.
EDIT: also, not sure if it matters, but when I updated my rom to a newer version, I didn't wipe the userdata partition, since it's the same rom, just a newer version.
I was thinking of maybe making another nandroid backup, reinstalling the rom AND wiping the userdata partition to try if it fixed anything, and if nothing is fixed, I'll just restore the backup to before I reinstalled the rom.

This shouldnt stop you from flashing another kernal in recovery, this only effects what you do when booted into the rom.
It's the same thing. Did you read my 1st post? I discovered this when trying to change my kernel, which I can only do through recovery. I use TWRP. I tried flashing a custom kernel and the phone just rebooted without any changes. Then later I tried flashing another bootanimation and the phone again rebooted with the default bootanimation. And it still does it when trying to manually change the bootanimation by replacing it with a file manager.
In conclusion, I get the same problem even in recovery.

Of course I read your first post, just didnt quite understand the restart part, thought you meant it restarted itself out of your rom, I would try what you said, rather than a dirty flash, try with a clean slate after backing up, there maybe parts of your old modifications to the system in the data partition.
Also, I'm not sure it can technically be called "write protection", since I can copy\delete\move, etc files just fine, but I can't copy files above 3MB. And due to that I can't change my bootanimation and kernel. As for the bootanmation, I also tried changing it manually and still the same thing happens - my phone reboots and deletes the file I copied. Needless to say, the same thing happens even when trying to flash it with TWRP.
Ok, reinstalling rom, will report back with results.
Edit 1 - install complete, rebooting....
Edit 2 - doing the setup thing at the 1st startup
Conclusion - Strangely enough, doing a clean flash of my rom fixed everything. Weird. Well, guess now I have a lot of things to set up again.
Well, thx for everything, even if I managed to fix everything by myself in the end. Though, I'd still much appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the problem was so I can be ready for any similar problems I might have in the future.

I never dirty flash, and the reason, your problems, even if im switching to a newer version of the same rom.

Hi guys,
I have been searching the forums for 2 weeks now trying to fix this myself, but I have put my pride in my pocket and am asking for help.
Backstory: Rooted phone, flashed CWM, used tons of custom froyo ROM's (doc roms mainly) and most recently Darky's 9.3 (awesome).
But then i decided I wanted Gingerbread (this is where the trouble began). Gingerbread worked just fine, but as there is no custom roms, I flashed back to 2.2 (obviosly screwed something up), because since then I have been plagued with process com.whatever.android.somethingelse has stopped unexpectedly. please try again.
please don't ask which force close message I am getting, lets just say, I am pretty sure I am getting them all!
I have flashed stock 2.1, custom 2.1, stock 2.2, custom 2.2's, I even went back to gingerbread a few times trying to fix this ***** of a problem. I tried re partitioning just the .pit file and then the other 3 files seporatly. NOTHING WORKS.
So, I am calling out to all you guys and girls who are heaps smarter than me to please help. the phone functions, turns on, make or receive calls and texts (not mms), emails work sometimes, but if I turn the phone off and on all the settings are wiped and I need to reload all the user details.
Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything, I cannot take pictures unless I select the external SD card, I cannot install apps from market or .apk. I cannot even move data to it when its mounted on the pc.
I am completely lost. please help me.
And thanks in advance.
I
C'mon guys, I know there is a lot to read, but please, can no-body help me?
Sounds like it might be a dead internal sd card. You said you tried a re-partition with 3 file firmware? That should fix pretty much anything. I think your only option is to return to samsung at this point.

Thanks for the response.
is it possible to fix myself?
As Samsung will not cover it, even if I flash the stock Telstra ROM, it will still show that it has been rooted?
In doing your research, I'm sure you've heard of the internal SD problems that plague the i9000, are you by chance with Bell Mobility? This line concerns me..
"Oh, I should also add another major issue, I cannot use the internal memory for anything"
When I experienced multiple FCs (force closes) and incompatible system UID's, I tried flashing every kind of ROM there was with every kind of PIT file as well to no avail. However, one in particular worked for me and others. It is usually referred to as a full ROM. It contains the .csc and .sbl in it as well as the usual ROM contents.
The ROM I used is called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar. Note, flashing this ROM with a pit file (be it 512, 513, or 803) wouldn't help me at all. What fixed the problem was flashing ONLY the ROM file in ODIN. Unfortunately, I can't find the thread where I found this ROM. I suggest searching around for it, if you can't find it PM me, and I will up it somewhere for you.
I'm not sure if this will help with your specific case, but its worth a shot. Also, wherever applicable, do a factory reset, clear your cache, and a full wipe install.
Good luck.
[edit]
Do a complete wipe and install with a stock 2.2 or 2.1 ROM in ODIN, there will be no evidence of a root.

Thanks for this dude, I will start my search for that rom.
I do a factory reset, wipe cache and data every time, however after doing all of that and flashing a new rom, it still has my google account details in the phone?? this is wierd, as I factory reset from recovery mode AND wipe all data from within the phone? Any suggestions?
Edit: and no, its is an Australian Telstra i9000

I am using odin, this is the wierd part. I have tried repartitioning, not repartitioning, I have tried 512.pt 803.pit, full wipe and reset from both in the phones settings and recovery mode. reboot it, go through settup wizzard (which eventually force closes requiring me to reboot), go into accounts and there is my google account still set up???
Edit: also, I cannot find a file called FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar, I am downloading i9000UGJH2.tar as we speak, but i doubt it is the one you were reffering to, if you are able to point in in the right direction, that would be ace.

If you're entering your gmail address in during the setup wizard, our google account will be linked. If you're not setting anything up and it is remembering your info, then something is definitely fishy.
I would flash back to a stock rom, and see what Samsung or your provider can do for you. In all honesty, the only thing I would be able to suggest is flashing and wiping
[edit]
When you download that ROM, open it up (using a program like WinRAR). The point of a full rom is that it contains
-cache.rfs
-dbdata.rfc
-factoryfs.rfs
-modem.bin
-param.lfs
-sbl.bin
-zimage
I'm unsure of any incompatibilities between the Canadian and Australian versions, but I will upload my copy for you to try.

could it be something to do with the file system gingerbread uses? these issues only started when I went back from gingerbread to froyo? (and before you ask, I have tried going back to gingerbread with no solution)
I may have to bite the bullet and shoot it back to Samsung... or just buy another one! would love to try FULL-i9000UGJH2.tar if you could remember where you got it?
Thanks again for your help.

I seem to have remembered it being in this thread, which is why i had it on bookmark, but I'm not sure if the link has been removed or if i had been mistaken since I can no longer find it. I'm uploading for you to Rapidshare, where you can download as a free user...~30 mins . Again, I'm not sure if there are modem incompatibilities or not since this I am in Canada, and you are in Australia.

Mate that would be great, I am not too fussed about compatibility at this stage, just want to get access to the internal sd again, then I can flash one of the many working froyo roms I have.

The way you're referring to accessing this internal SD....are you flashing your ROMs to an external microsd card?
Here is the full UGJH2 that I flashed (with no other options) that saved me.

No, by accessing my SD, i mean being able to download ansd install apps (and things like that). also, just tried to remove my google (gmail) account from my phone, and it wouldn't let me, it keeps force closing.
Thanks for the upload mate, I really appreciate it, currently downloading it, will let you know.

Hey mate, no go, i got some functionality back on the phone, but still force closes and I cannot save anything to SD (or install apps).
another email account (an exchange server account) that was previously deleted has appeared back set up and working (I have not been able to set this up for a week), it appeared on its own which leads me to think there is a hidden partition on my internal sd, hence I cannot access it. must be something to do with Gingerbread.
Thanks for all your help though.

Edit: It just completely crashed again, force closes just about everything that is open, phone functionality is gone (phone icon vanished) as did contacts. freezes for a couple of minutes and then reboots. i may have to throw it at a wall!

Hi mate,
I have tried that several times, i think there is a hidden partition thanks to Gingerbread.
I would be sure that your internal sd card is screwed but since everything worked fine before gingerbread something else has probably happened. Also your data wont delete and that seems to be the source of the problem. Try to install the lagfix from k13d and see if it had any results. This should reformat all partitions on the internal sd.
Hi, I have a good one that all of you could answer for me but first I would Like to say I Love the registration video. I would Love to shake your guys hands for that. Anyways I am going in details of this odd problem I am having.
First I have a HTC ONE, no GSM carrier because I live in a city that has many wifi hotspots and I am not going to why don't I have a GSM Carrier.
Second it is rooted, I am running clockwork mod 6.0, I have clockwork mod and rom manager and ROM toolbox pro. Busybox and SuperSU.
Now my problem is this, I can't get rid of the the damn AT&T Boot animation. I have tried to delete it in root explore, still would not disappear after I restart the device. I even tried to replace it with a different animation which I was intending of doing with a different animation but replacing the name with At&T boot animation. But still when I reset the device it would some how replace the whole damn zip file with the original one. I tried to install bootanimation.zip into system/media, the zip is there but it is not doing nothing. I tried to flash the zip in recovery and it failed. I tried Android commander, I delete it there, reset and still the same even using AC and renaming the file with another animation still the same. I am coming to understand that AT&T Zip is still locked onto my drive somewhere and I looked there isn't anything anywhere. I know the binaries will have nothing to do with this because that is a coded lines that ran tasks. So I don't even know why this is even happening, this is the first of seeing this. Also am thinking the partition of the drive may only be writable not re-writable but this can't be when I am able to delete the zip in the first place. But I can understand to a point because the other damn apps of att is still on my drive as well. So my question is this.
How do I get around this?
Is there a better tool for PC to write files onto the drive of the device?
Is there anything I have not done?
Is it that the drive not in re-writable format?
Is Att the Fing child from Hell?
Please let me know if you know anything, I am able to do everything else expect this.
Also if this is already been answered direct me to the forum because I looked and nothing helps other then installing the Animations.
Also if this is in the wrong forum direct it to the right one.
Thank You.
Flash a new kernel. Stock kernel doesn't have R/W enabled, therefore restores any modified files in /system to the original.
So I just successfully rooted my lovely HTC One from Sprint. I've got TWRP 2.6.0.1 on it and all.
I'd REALLY like to get rid of all this garbage on my phone that I'm never going to use, however I also would like to keep it as close to stock as possible. I really enjoy Sense for the most part (minus quirks that I'm willing to live with, and BlinkFeed). I know how/can find out how to load a custom rom - I had CM7 on my HTC EVO 4G (1st Gen) and loved it. But I really don't want to be without Sense.
Can anyone make any suggestions as to what I should do/which rom I should use?

Sorry, I'm overwhelmed at the wealth of knowledge here. Is there a link to the specific one you're talking about? Search didn't do me a ton of good. Though I suppose I could send the guy a message and inquire about his ROM.
Thank you for all your help guys!
Okay so I've decided that I want to try the OMJ ROM. Now here's where I am unsure of exactly how to do it. I see that certain ROMs require different methods. I can't just copy the ZIP to my internal storage and use TWRP to flash it, right? It has to be more complicated than that...
Also, I just went past the return window for the phone so I really cannot afford to brick it. I assume that there's next to no chance of the aforementioned tragedy befalling me providing I stick with the mainstream ROMs?
Most roms are in a flashable format i use the CM 10.2 nightly myself. from what i can tell as long as you can get into the bootloader your safe. I wiped my whole phone SD card and everything accidentally with TWRP one time. Ended up having to use sideload to get a CM rom installed again but i was never in danger of bricking. When flashing roms always remember to do a factory reset to wipe the cache and do an advanced wipe of the data and system. after the rom is installed it will ask you to wipe the cache again which is always nice to do.

No worries, I am new to the unlocking scene too with this device . Those flashable zips will normally have the boot.img files included and when installing twrp will take care of it via the script inside the zip. if you open the zip file with winzip or something you should see that file on the root. TWRP or ClockworkMod recoveries make it really easy to install and backup roms.
flashing the boot.img i guess is for recovery purposes say if the system is in a boot loop. Or maybe if you upgrade the system only and didnt change boot img between two different roms. I personally never had to do this. After unlocking the device i used fastboot to replace the recovery and just do everything else inside the recovery.

Alright, so I've got OMJ's rom running no problem. Love the new feel but what I'm wondering is...is there still a way to delete apps like Stocks and other crap I won't use? I can disable some but not all, and none am I able to uninstall completely.
Would it be something as simple as going into the OMJ ZIP file and removing the unwanted apk files and then re-flashing to that version?

I suppose that could be one way of doing it, but i dont think its necessary. if you are already rooted or can install root easy i would just install a Root file explorer. Browse to the /system/app folder i think it is and delete the APKs from there.

Yeah I tried that with ES explorer AND Root File Manager. ES would have an error, and Root File Manager would simply say it was deleted but it was never actually deleted. I think it has something to do with the security. I'm not really sure, haha! I'm used to being able to just openly delete apps from within Settings>Apps like the old days of my EVO 1st gen.
hmm interesting as long as the /system is mounted as r/w permissions you should be able to delete. well if you are planning on reflashing using the modify zip method im curious to know if that works.

use Root explorer, and set it at r/w
also Titanium Backup will delete it for you too.
If I remember correctly there are a few apps in the play store that are specifically for getting rid of "bloatware".....maybe search bloatware removal, our uninstall bloatware something like that. Hopefully this helps!

Well for whatever reason neither of those two suggestions worked. So I installed Root Browser and was finally able to get rid of some things.
Scratch that. Rebooted phone and the apps are back.

Edit: So I guess I showed my ignorance there. It appears ROM Cleaner is something offered through the forum. I'm unsure of how to use it so I'll take a look around.

ROMCleaner
It's very doubtful you will have success with Romtoolbox either once you reboot all the apps will return
ok, so i was trying to root my sprint htc one, and everything was going, ok. i unlocked the bootloader simple enough. then i wanted to back up the data, before i tried putting roms on it. well twrp kept saying i only had about 34 mb of space which made no sense since i had formatted it, and only brought back things like contacts and texts. when i checked my phone it said that i had 24gbs. so i couldnt find an answer to this anywhere so while looking through twrp i saw the wipe function. not having seen anything about it, i said, maybe if i reformat it again, itl clear up. so i hit wipe all. well after it was done it only said i had 1.2 gbs, so still confused i went to load my normal os, well i cant. because wiping everything meant the system data the os is on. i spend hours trying to find a fix, as im only able to go between the bootloader and twrp, and i see a sideload option, and after following the steps, i attempt to sideload. everything is going well. Viper looks like its about to install, until at the last second it says install fail. but now i cant even access the recovery menu. literally stuck in the boot loader option. all my contacts and pictures and stuff are backed up, so i have no problem formatting my phone to scratch if it means fixing this, but can anyone point me in the right direction???? i cant find anything on this, ive been searching through this site, and some people with similar issues solve it by sheer luck, but i have no rom back up(since i was trying to do that when i got into this problem) please please help!!!
**edit** i was able to get into twrp by using the recovery steps, though im just back to square 1. is there a guarenteed reliable sideloader that can work?
Look HERE
Try the latest RUU first if it does not work follow the guide from the beginning it will get you fixed up.

Do you still have the memory issue? If so, try running a RUU, and see if that fixes your problem.
If not, just use adb sideload to sideload a ROM. Then wipe everything except internal storage and install the ROM normally.
EDIT: Looks like @BD619 ninja'd me XD
BTW sideload very rarely works when you wipe your sdcard.

hey thanks for the reply. i followed the guide and after some effort, everything seemed good, but when i was trying to load 5.03 sense 6 rom, i got to the htc start up, then it defaulted back to the bootloader..i went with the deodex version of the download, should i try the odex? or a different version all together?
and now it doesnt want to boot into recovery mode either! going to try redoing the steps, but i just cant figure out what the problem is
**edit* i cant fix twrp. the title loads, but thats it. endless loop
ok i got it to seemingly work. restoring content now. sat in fron of my pc for 15 hours...not even sure where imat or if i got any closer to rooting..smh..thank you everyone who helped. if anyone comes across this
to get out of the endless cycle of recover/loading screen.. delete your twrp, or whatevs your using. even if you have the latest, just redownload it. worked for me. i guess there is a huge difference between the odex and the deodex.i had figured deodex was a more refined version, but maybe it had more complicated software. in any case, if you are at a point where you dont have a base os, and you make it this far, go with odex, it worked for me. htc is big on back up, so i was more worried about having to scrap my phone then i was regaining data, especially with most of my stuff backed up to google drive. hopefully you guys are careful.
now...about this backup issue i had in the first place. how can i fix the storage issue? i have a 32 gb phone minus partition leaves me with over 24gb..why is it going based off the separate phonememory slot? why cant i change it?
So for some reason today, my phone restarted and now I can't call people or receive calls, if I do. My phone restarts. Also can't use Bluetooth or it also does the same and restarts what can cause this? My phone getting too hot and damaged the motherboard? When I installed a kernel it was corrupted? I really have no understanding what caused this. I had resurrection from on it. I updated it with a newer one and did a bootloop. So I put cyangemod on it and worked but noticed those huge issues. Thinking the ROM was corrupted I put rr back on it and had the exact same issues. Any help would mean everything to me

Restore the stock rom using step 0 of this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684. Once you confirm that your phone is fixed, re-flash whatever rom/setup you want.

What he said. If you want to try and recover your data (DCIM folder, downloads, etc), edit out "%fastboot% erase userdata" from the .bat file. Chances are that if you had CM installed, the stock rom will be terribly buggy since the data partition won't be erased, but you can still connect to your PC and pull the files you want to save. Once you've recovered your files, you'll want to do a factory reset, which can be done using that command you edited out of the .bat file. If you'r on Mac OS or Linux, the commands are basically the same as what's in the .bat file, but the commands begin with ./fastboot. You'll need to have the fastboot executable in the same directory as where you've extracted the files from the xml.
Just a quick note, Moto has a notorious reputation of not playing nicely with CM. This is just my personal opinion, but after trying some of the non-stock options, I've settled firmly on the stock rom, as it seems to be the most stable. If you need tether, root, etc, you can flash TWRP after you've gotten the phone back up and running, and use TWRP to install root and flash my stock tether enabler patch.
