Dangerous problem with app2sd (SOLVED , bug is repaired)

It is strange . When you did the factory reset and not rooted the phone df still shows /data/app is mounted ?

Did su working ? I got permission denied message .

"but... all app is removed." for me it says /data/app is not mounted (as with running app2sd). After app2sd you will get back your old applications .

I do it this way :

Flash the phone .

Restore factory defaults.

run 1 click root.

run app2sd with the new line (gscript method , but both method does the same just in different ways) .

restart the phone.

df shows /data/app is mounted (app2sd running).

restore factory defaults

adb shell

su ( i got permission denied )

df shows only the standard volumes (app2sd not running).

ls /system/app does not lists superuser.apk

while with the original line after su Superuser app requests access. and df showed /data/app mounted.

Of course the root and app2sd scripts will work if you run it , but with the repaired line they will be removed from the phone with restore factory defaults and will not be a part of it.

df result is :

$ df

This df is after running app2sd . If you do a flash , run root , run app2sd with the new line , df output will be the same as you posted . do a factory defaults , but do not run root and app2sd . What is df output now ?

after reset from factory i'm not running root and app2sd.

this is a result without root or app2sd.

when i try running app2sd, app2sd is error. because all folder in /system/sd is already.

I have no idea why are your folders mounted after factory default with mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system.

When I test it i did the following:

Flashed the phone

Restore factory defaults

run 1click root.

run app2sd (mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system )

restore factory defaults

su permission denied

df showed the standard volumes /data/app was not mounted.

run 1click root

run app2sd (with mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system)

restore factory defaults

su gives #

df showed /data/app mounted.

I tried it several times and the results was the same .Can you give a try to the steps above ?

At this time I am not able to show my df because my phone was frozen in the middle of a flash and get bricked ( unable to turn it on )

I always do a restore factory defaults after flash as I do load bios defaults on a PC after BIOS upgrade .

Hello people,

i have android 2.1 running and the phone is root.

i have tried to install app2sd that is here: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540...2sd-was-here-d/

But my phone messed up. I reinstalled ROM 2.1, hard reboot, installed applications and again root. Now is working fine. I want to give a try again. So, because I'm confused, what are the steps to install app2sd on an ROM 2.1 (Baltic) and which is the correct app2sd file to use?

(sorry my english)
