Ive used my droid turbo for 18 month or so. I always enjoy the convenience of installing an app first and drag data into the obb folder under emulated/0/Android.
But yesterday, I can't find it anymore(all those app data is not lost). I wanted to create a new obb folder but the phone tell me that the folder already exists. When I connect the phone to my computers(both mac and windows), I still can't find the obb folder and as I drag in a blank obb folder that I've just created, my phone crashed and restart. I used shell to check permission and it turns out the folder is there and I have full permission to Read and Write. And I backed up my device and give it a wipe. But no luck.
So, I know that the obb folder is still there, but hidden. I think it may be the Es explorer since the problem happens after I used es explorer to clean app residue after deleting an app which could trigger the write protection?
So Im bit frustrated after working on the issue or this long. So Im asking you guys, have you ever run into issues like this? Is there a viable solution?
Are you rooted? If so, try Root Explorer to see if you can see it.
Wouldn't hurt to re-flash SuperSu again in TWRP, either.
On the droid turbo it was a pain to find this folder, went with some suggestions creating new one, copying the whole folder. etc none worked, I gave up on the phone at that time also bootloader was locked, I went with moto maxx, what a ease

you are saying the problem is solved with an unlocked bootloader?

I've given up trying to get full access to the Market. But I was able to find some of the apks on my Droid and was able to bring some of them over using a usb thumb drive. However, not all the apps I had downloaded to my Droid was visible. My question is do some apps delete their apks when done installing? I did have some that gave me a parse error when trying to install them on my tablet. Is there a hidden directory where I can find all the apks of the apps I've downloaded? e.g xplane, rush hour to name a few? Thanks. Or... is there a way to download the apk from Market to my PC directly? I'd be so happy if I could just get full access to google market!

The apks are usually in your data/apps or data/apps-private. You should be able to get to these directories using RootExplorer on your phone if its rooted. Then get yourself a free Dropbox account which allows you to transfer files to any device you installed Dropbox on.
Look in these two locations. In the second one (/mnt/asec) you'll see the folder name of the app and inside that folder is the pkg.apk so you'll probably want to rename after you move it.
/data/app
and
/mnt/asec/(name of app)
Have you tried these methods yet?

Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

Reggie 777, thanks for asking this question. I've been trying to figure out the same thing and asked about it in another thread but didn't get a clear answer.
So, to the experts: do you have to be rooted to do this? I've looked in both of the locations that tcrews mentioned and don't see much, if anything. I'm using Astro FileManager, if that helps.
Thanks

Astro doesn't show the files in /data and you'll need to be rooted and use something like Root Explorer. I just tried Astro and once I go in to /data I see nothing (and my phone is rooted). Using Root Explorer I see all the folders under /data and go into the folder app. I see my apps installed internally there and in /mnt/asec I see my apps installed to SDcard there.

No root neccessary to use Bluetooth File Transfer method.
I can only guess you need root for the method on the video because you do need to have an OS with GAPPS and Android market installed.
Root is needed to use Root explorer methed.
The Z4root1.2.2 app is a good tool to root without unlocking the bootloader and you can still keep your stock OS. However I'm assuming GAPPS may not work correctly with the stock TAPNTAP OS so getting full Google Android market with that OS is prolly not going to happen.
Thanks to everyone for the help. I am processing and digesting the info and playing around with the suggestions.
Thanks to sjmoreno for telling me where the apps are. And also tcrews. I would never have thought of looking in /mnt/sec. I was actually able to find the apks I was looking for... xplane. et al. Now I'm fiddling with the bluetooth transfer. Got the phone and tablet paired... connection is not working yet. But I'm still trying.
Thanks too to tekrhino for the bluetooth suggestion. Got the transfer program for my Droid. I'm learning how to use it. Seems easy to set up, but won't actually send anything... Still exploring it.
The video on the Market fix doesn't work for me because no matter what I do, Market does not show up in the running apps section of settings. It doesn't even show up in system apps. It only shows up in the downloaded section.
As they said in Galaxy Quest... "Never Give Up. Never Surrender." Thanks everyone.
I use TitaniumBackup syncing with dropbox, but really the market fix isnt hard... Running tntlite larest.
+1 for dropbox. You can also use astro to backup the apk's. They are stored in a folder named backup on the root of your SD card.
I use the program AndroZIP from the Market on my phone.
Do an application backup (part of the app) to my SDCard (it creates a app_backup folder on your SDcard)
Then, you can do bluetooth transfer, or plug phone and gTablet into PC with USB cables, wait for the drives to show up, and move the APK files over. Works well. No root required.
Since my phone is not rooted, I am not sure if this is grabing every application, but it seems to be. I was able to transfer whatever I wanted over from my phone to the tablet this way.
+1 titanium backup and dropbox.
Dropbox is handy but not necessary. Titanium is a must have purchase if you enjoy flashing new roms and don't feel like manually restoring all your apps and settings every time.
If you can download titanium to your Gtab your done. Dl titanium on your phone and backup your apps. Grab the file off your phones SD And move it to your Gtab. Open titanium on your Gtab and select the apps you want to install. You can even save app data this way and continue saved games from your phone ;-)

Make sure both devices have BTFT installed, that way you won't have any any problems with FTP OBEX protocals.
The app works great and reduces the extra steps you need to take with TB and DB with having to move apk's between the source device to your pc then from your pc to the target device. BTFT is a good source device to target device app.
---Solved---
So, I pulled a noob move and uninstalled a number of apps using titanium backup without understanding the repercussions of each. After uninstalling a few at a time, I would reboot my device and everything seemed fine. Little did I know, after uninstalling most, if not all, of the bloat I am unable to click a contact's picture to bring up the submenu and select call or text or whatever.
I didn't write down a list of items that I uninstalled and I should have frozen the apps prior to uninstall. I'm not a complete idiot and stayed away from obvious apps that shouldn't be uninstalled and what I thought was ALL motroblur stuff.
Long story short, I get a "com.motorola.contacts" stopped unexpectedly error(force close prompt) after trying to view a contact. I can look through all of the dialer menus showing contacts and recent calls and whatnot but I can't view a specific contact in detail. The searching I've done seems like there are a number of apps that use com.motorola.contacts and I believe I still have all of them installed but apparently not since there isn't a ton of detail on the latest motoblur that the D3 runs.
Does anyone have an idea of what apps use this process on the D3?
Thanks.
Problem solved.

Same situation here. I'm guessing it was the yahoo contact storage, but I'm not entirely sure. I tried pushing the yahoo app back into the system folder, but it still throws the error, even after resetting the phone.
Keep in mind that the entire system has been dumped, so I think it's as easy as grabbing the necessary apks from the system dump and put it back on the Droid 3.
It might be the best idea to reference the original list and restore what's missing then:
http://pastebin.com/HEtYBmuz
I got this same message. I defrosted all and redid. I think its the authenticators that's causing them, I re freezed stuff I didn't want and everytime I finished I checked to see if my contacts were working. They are as of now :]

As it turns out, I was partially correct. The files that were missing were "YahooContacts.apk", "YahooContacts.odex", "blur_yahoo.apk" and "blur_yahoo.odex" (I've attached them for your convenience). Move these files onto the SD card, and using root explorer, move them to "/system/app". The important part: Once you move these files to this directory, you must change their permissions and their owner. Here are the steps if you are using root explorer:
1. Mount the directory as R/W in the top right corner.
2. Press and hold the file, and go to permissions. Change the permissions so that the Owner has read and write privileges, Group has read privileges, and Others have read privileges. Do this for the other files you copy over (This is important! These won't be recognized as system apps if the permissions are messed up).
3. Press and hold the file again, and change both the owner and group to root. Do this for all the files you copy over as well.
4. Reboot.
This pretty much solved the problem for me. Now I know better than to go uninstalling willy-nilly.

Javier, thanks a ton, you saved my ass. Also, this finally gave me an excuse to purchase Root Explorer.
As far as you know, is there any risk to setting these files with such high permissions?
Also, do we know what the chances are, of getting rid of these files all together or is that going to require a custom ROM?
As far as I can tell, these are the standard permissions set for every system app. There shouldn't be any risks.
As for getting rid of all these files...that may require a custom ROM. Not entirely sure.
Oh, and it was nothing, really. I'm just glad I got myself out of that mess.
followed instructions, still not working
i restored the yahoo stuff, changed permissions and owner to -rw-r--r-- and root; changed group to root as well. rebooted and contacts is still crashing. could there possibly be more apps associated with contacts than just yahoo? i put blur_email back as well but that hasn't helped things.

See post #3. After doing this, I pulled battery, turned back on. It boot-looped once, then started up. Took a minute to load, but viola! My contacts worked again!
Hi Javier78,
Thanks in the first place for such a great post. I also had the forced closed contacts problem and i took all the steps that are needed but the problem still exists.
I placed the 4 Yahoo files in system/app with Root Explorer, changed the things that you said and also the owner to root.
Then i removed the battery, put it back in but i still have the forced closed problem.
What did i do wrong in the first place?

I have a question about step "3". I'm using "Root Explorer" on a Droid Bionic and I see no way of changing the owner and group to "root" as "Root" doesn't show up anywhere on the permissions screen. I'm thinking that this last step is preventing me from solving my problem.
Could someone set an old fart straight on how this is accomplished?
EDIT: Also, I just noticed that I uninstalled the Yahoo Mail Authenticator and most likely that is my problem. Does anyone have the files I can put back into the system folder?
Thanks,
Got it. My problem was I deleted the com.motorola.blur.provider.yahoo files needed. Once I obtained those three files it works fine now.

Yes, thanks a lot to all of you, guys... just couple of additional tips from complete beginner as myself:
- In order to be able to copy files there, you must turn the "Airplane mode" ON.
- Even if the "Execute" permission is already turnd ON and seems tasty (after all, you are trying to EXECUTE these functions ... UNTICK it. otherwise it wont work. Simply do EXACTLY as you are told on the posts above.
Lastly: In my case Yahoo stuff was already there (previously I have frozen it using TB and then found here at XDA that I have to defrost it) ... I brought myself this error by freezing some other apps... if there was comprehensive list of what does what and if it is safe to freeze/uninstallit, it would be helpful.
My current culprits are:
Work Contacts
Dlna
GoogleServicesFramwork
BlurContacts
BlurContactsSync
SmartDock
KpiLogger
VoiceSearch
VoiceReadout
SimContactsAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
... to name some of many.
- Things get even more difficult considering that different people use different services: myself, I have all my contacts on Exchange and synchronize using Touchdown - so I personally do not need Google stuff related neither to contacts, nor to calendar - but others live different life.
i am having the same problem with my rooted droid x2 i have tried the this process but no luck

If you're using root explorer, and you've successfully navigated your way to to the system/app section... select and continue to hold until the options menu displays, then you can scroll down to "change owner" (it's a few below permissions and properties, just keep scrolling until you come to it) then it's a simple drop option screen. The window doesn't look like you can scroll down, but you can. Also, someone posted a zip file for the yahoo apps, but those will only address certain sync issues (that most people in this post seem to be having). Be sure to have the unzipped files located on you "sdcard-ext" for moving. You'll have to move them one-by-one and change the permissions and owner/group settings for each once they're in system/app location.

Any suggestions?
I'm an Atrix user on rooted 2.3.6 if that makes any difference ...
Okay so I went up to vzw today and got on the RAZR. The last time I checked it out, I don't actually remember there being a Smart Actions "App". But today there was. So i took out the SD Card that was in the RAZR and put in mine. I had the Root Explorer apk on MY SD card and installed it. Went to system apps and seen three Apk's with the same icon as the Smart Actions App. I copy them and the odex files and put them on my SD card. They don't install correctly BUT when you try to install the Apk Labeled "ContextModeManager" it says "Smart Actions"! My Rom is deodexed so maybe that's why it didn't install. There is also one Labeled "ContextQuickActions", which when you try to install its says "Actions". The other one is Labeled" ContextSmartProfile", which when you try to install it says "Smart Profile". I zipped them all in a folder hoping some can make use of these and uploaded them to DropBox.

Not necessarily, it only needs root access when your editing something in the system.
4Maybe im wrong, I was looking thru a deodex rom and there was more then one apk with context in the name, and there's a file with the name context in lib, maybe if you guys copy all those apks ,file, with context in the name and put them in system in the correct folders set the right perms, maybe that will work, or make a flashable zip file, some system apps wont install if you don't flash it, not sure if anyone tried that, just trying to help

Update 2:
So now I can see most of the files with ES, but OI file manager isn't seeing them. What the heck is going on? Ghost files?
Alright, so I'm in a bit of a pickle.
I was having problems with Rdio and wanted to wipe all traces of it from my phone to install an older version. Using ES File Explorer, I searched for all the files related to the app in "/" and once I found them, I foolishly used select all and delete. Problem is, it seems "select all" actually selected all the folders in / and not only those found using the search function.
The odd part is I can see all the folders in / when I use OI file manager (though some are empty, namely /data and /datadata), but not when I use ES.
Does anybody have an idea as to what I can do? Odd thing is the phone is working fine and not all files on it have been deleted (the files inside EFS seem to have been though, but I still have signal). I'm afraid to reboot it since I figure it might become bricked. I've got a recent Nandroid backup which wasn't deleted, so I'll be fine if I can get to recovery, but is there any chance of that not happening?
Anyways, I'm feeling really dumb and stressed out.
Thanks for looking and/or helping!
Cheers!
Update
Making a call seems to have restored the files (.bak and others) in the efs folder and some other files seem to be reappearing. Maybe if I just wait it out all the files will come back from the dead? Files that weren't showing 10 minutes ago are back and are dated earlier than today.
Again, I'm mainly looking to know if I can reboot into recovery (or normally?) without many problems.
Thanks!
I was trying to cleanup carrier bloatware off my phone and I think I deleted some apps that were critical.
I deleted ItsOnService.apk (NetworkSystemProvider) and ItsOnUID.apk. Unfortunately I didn't make a backup of them. Then, wifi and LTE/3g stopped working (even if Wifi is connected, internet is permanently not available).
The worst part of this is that the issue persists after reflashing back to stock. The problem is I don't think the stock roms contain the /carrier directory. And now I cannot complete the setup wizard because at first boot, I'm forced to select a wifi network and once I connect internet is not available, so the wizard won't proceed.
Is there anything I can do? If someone were to send me the missing APKs could I use recovery mode and sideload them?

I do have the rooted image, as well as the stock image, I have applied both, the problem still exists. I think when I reroot or reflash it's not writing the /carrier directory, that must have come from somewhere else. I confirmed this by unpacking the TOT file and looking inside, it has all the apps, but it does not have the /carrier directory. Do you have ItsOnService.apk and ItsOnUID.apk? Maybe I could try sideloading them?

The worst part of this is that the issue persists after reflashing back to stock. The problem is I don't think the stock roms contain the /carrier directory. And now I cannot complete the setup wizard because at first boot, I'm forced to select a wifi network and once I connect internet is not available, so the wizard won't proceed.
Is there anything I can do? If someone were to send me the missing APKs could I use recovery mode and sideload them?

You need to know exactly what you deleted. The itsonuid is in the system/priv-app directory. I didn't see the itsonservice but didn't spend much time looking. You need to know if you deleted things out of carrier partition or vendor partition or both... Get a list together...

Thanks, I can confirm what you're saying, I did find ItsOnUID in system/priv-app, so at least I can restore that one. However, I am pretty sure ItsOnService is in /carrier and I deleted it using ES File Explorer. I had deleted ItsOnUID with Titanium Backup. Titanium Backup was not able to find ItsOnService, so that's why I had used ES File Explorer, which confirms that ItsOnService must have been in /carrier.
Since it looks like there is no /carrier directory in these TOT files, is there some other way I can get ItsOnService.apk? Can anyone out there send it to me?
