disable appsto SD, please help!

[johnphagen]

I had appstosd2 up and running everything was great. I put my sdcard in my laptop to copy some stuff and after that it didnt work. Vista said I had to format it, so I did. Now my phone tries to save the apps to sd but can't because its been formated and missing the EXT2. Which means I cant install any apps (or the appstoSD2 app) to fix the problem. Now it says "installation unsuccessful". I've tried factory reset, wiping, installing the build again, but nothing helps. What I need to do, I think, is some how run some commands that disable the apps to sd so that I can download the appstoSD2 app to get back to square one.

Does anyone know how to do this? Or do I have to get rid of root, re-root the whole thing...?

Please help!!

yep by asking a question about your reply and then telling why i asked to see if it would be relevant is threadjacking for sure. dip****.

you can try this...
adb shell mkdir /system/sd/app
adb shell mkdir /system/sd/app-private

adb shell
df
you should see a line containg system/sd. if not, something went wrong.

cp -a /data/app /system/sd
cp -a /data/app-private /system/sd
rm -r /data/app
rm -r /data/app-private
ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app
ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private
busybox cp -a /data/dalvik-cache /system/sd/dalvik-cache
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
ln -s /system/sd/dalvik-cache /data/dalvik-cache
reboot

Hi,

It says system denied when I put in the first command, some of the other commands work but mostly it says "cannot create directory" "cannot remove" etc. I'm using the terminal emulator, is that the right thing for the job? I dont know anything about all these commands..

Any help is very much appreciated!!

you need to be doing this from a pc for adb commands. in terminal, try this...
su
mkdir /system/sd/app
mkdir /system/sd/app-private

After typinh mkdir /system... it says "mkdir failed for /system,...Read only file system"


Where do I get the adb thing, and how does that work with the phone via the computer?
