'Sorry, there is not enough space to install this item' - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I all of a sudden am getting this message when i try to install any apps from the Market after flashing a custom rom.
What could I have done to cause this and what can I do to fix it?
I have googled around and someone said something about rewriting the original master boot record and completely uninstall voodoo...
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Does the fact that when I go into the SD Card and storage on my phone and see phone storage at 0.00B have anything to do with this?
If so, how do I get my storage back to normal?

Anyone????

Someone has just posted a similar question might be an answer there .

Thanks, what post is it exactly so that I may check it out?

missing SD card

firstly sorry if this is the wrong place to as this.
The problem i'm having is that my SD card keeps disappearing from file explorer. sometimes taking it out and putting it back in finds it again, sometimes i have to soft reset. I've tried different roms but still no joy, tried different versions of Miri's and dutthroys.
Is this a problem with my card or something else. I cant narrow it down to anything that might be causing it.
Anyone have any ideas ?
Thanks

Some people have had similar issues. They seemed to solve it by formatting the card on a pc.

[Q]Unable to install apps

Hey guys...
I had Phoenix 4.5 VA Themed, than later with glass dialer mod and GO launcher EX...
but after awhile when I went to download apps from the market it just wouldnt download...
The screen kept at the download accept permission "ok" button screen... no loading bars or error pop ups or anything...
just plain idle screen
So I than went to my files and tried to install using apps in my folder...
well "My File" was missing and so was "TiBu".
So what else could I do?
I did a full restore and that didnt work so I did it again.
It didnt work.. the second time so I gave up but all of a sudden it worked...
so I DL go laucher ex and it worked...
yet again after an hour or so...
it stopped working....
is this a compatibility issue or my hardware issue?
any help will be really grateful.
Thanks in advance.
***Also when im manually installing through the phone... it will hang on installing app with the bar moving but nothing happening.
I even let it sit for 30mins.***
well I did everything except odin....
did a restore and it still didnt help....
anyone have an idea why this is happening???
maybe in an internal problem?
Clearing the market cache usually fixes most of the problems you described. Go to settings, applications, manage applications, all, then scroll down to market. From there, I force close the market and clear the cache and clear data then reboot. Hope that helps.
I found out why....
GLE with their custom theme and my LWP raindrop was the problem.
When I got rid of the LWP it worked again....
Thanks for your help though ^^
never mind... it stopped working again...
it wont install or uninstall anything...
sigh...
anyone might have an idea as to why?
I am guessing noone can help me out on this.................
T.T
Have you tried clearing the market cache?
yes i have done everything there is...
even went to stock and tried downloading...
it didnt work and than it started working...
all in all
i got fed up and returned it because mine fell in the "phone keeps resetting" range in the imei number or whatever......and got it replaced....=/
thanks for the reply though
Well the new phone is the same....
i install a new rom and i cant install any apps...
WTF
it works when i first turn it on through wifi without sim card....
but once i sign in with my sim card and sd card... it just doesnt want to DL or install anything...
Anyone else having this problem???
Please help!
ok....
Can the sim card be the cause of this problem?
I put 1 card in at a time and it doesnt work with the sim card in......
While noone seemed to want to give me any answers or help other than think its a cache thing...
I took my captivate in and told them to give me a new sim because of this problem and they did without asking anything else...
and it looks like it was the sim to cause the unable to install apps or download apps from the market...
So to those who might have a similar issue try getting a new sim card and see if that helps.
and those who replied before thank you.
hopefully this is will help someone.
Never mind...
it did it again...
new phone new sim new rom phoniex and SN....
am very aggrovated...
I can install all apps by dl it through maket tibu or from apk ONLY if i have no sim in the phone....
help still needed...
Something new to add to this...
When I used Apps2SD and put all of the apps in SD
I take out my sd card and put it back in.
All the apps in the SD card do not show up and when I go to manage applications then to the on SD card tab.
They all show up but the words computing.... is below the app names and they arnt able to run...
any takers on what the problem might be?

External SD not recognised on galaxy s?

Hey all, my 16gb sandisk sd card isn't being recognised anymore, anyone know why?
It says it read the SD card, and it got to 100% complete, yet my apps dont load to the menu list anymore :/
Help please
Also, when I try and boot up either Launcher7 or Twlauncher the phone restarts on me..
It's not rooted, its not a custom rom, just froyo 2.2.1 :/
does windows recognise it ?
if so, move all files to PC, put SD card back in phone and try to format, if you cant format it under windows and try again
ok i connected it to my pc, copied everything over, then i formatted the card (fat32) and yet it still doesnt want to read it.
ive tried all i can do and yet nothing works. my card is 100% authentic so i know that isnt the problem, yet nothing else is fixing it
thats strange. if you was on a custom rom / kernel there are things we could do to get it working.... but your not lol.
under settings, have you tried to unmount / mount ??
does anything pop up in the notification bar when you insert / remove external sd ?
really? what custom roms? i moved from 2.2 to darkys 9.5 within a week, but then went to 2.2.1 for warranty reasons.
ive tried unmounting and remounting, just like inserting it, restarting the phone etc., all it says is media scan running, gets to 100%, media scan complete.
it says i have 8.56gb of 14.2gb free which is normal, and all the files come up on the computer, but in my menu they arent there, just a bunch of empty spaces.
no matter how long i leave it running nothing gets recognised
that is weird
have you tried a factory reset, i dont know any other options.
you havent downloaded any apps that could of caused this recently have you ?
no i haven't tried a factory reset yet just cause i don't want to lose all my apps. i had 10 pages of apps and id rather not want to reinstall 8 of the missing pages, but if i cant fix it ill go into download mode soon and perform a factory reset, if that doesn't work i'm gonna exchange the card for a new one.
i'm 100% certain that no apps caused this. i haven't installed anything new for about a week. just turned the phone off then back on and now its broken.
thanks for your help, ill let you know how i go
Yea keep me informed. Have u got any backup apps that you could try and see if they backup the "missing " apps

i think my phone is the problem. i've just tried using a new sd card and that one is also not being read
ill try a factory reset later, and then if that fails ill try new firmware to see how that goes.
Just finished flashing froyo 2.2, then 2.2.1 and neither worked.
how do i go abouts fixing this with a custom rom?
i think the problem lies with the hardware not the software.
like you said earlier you tried another sd card and that didnt work either.
the options in a custom rom are just manually mounting / unmounting and fixing permissions in recovery, but i dont think this will help.
your on stock ROM now so i would just go to your nearest SSC and tell them to fix it under warranty
thanks for helping me man
ill be taking it in soon as a repair, however, my friend said it couldve happened cause my battery went to 0% and the phone just shut of and broke something, is that true? i'm not sure cause I can still access the card by pc.

[Q] Wondering if im screwed or not

OK so heres my story of what happened to my Captivate. I plan on getting an SIII sometime in the next couple of weeks, but it would be nice to get my Captivate up and running again in case I need it sometime in the future.
So I was running CM9 on my phone, not sure which build, not sure if it matters. Phone was still in my pocket when I went swimming. Left it in a bag of rice, and it booted up. I got the message that said Encryption failed...reset phone or whatever. I figured it would just format it and didnt know that it would lead to more problems. So based on what I have read on the site, now my internal SD is fried im assuming. Now I tried following some guides for using an external SD card but I couldnt get it to partition from ClockworkMod, and I couldnt get into download mode for a few days because something probably got messed up internally from water damage. I managed to get into download mode today and tried running an Odin One-Click to see if it would help at all. Now my phone brings up the AT&T World Phone screen, then shuts off as soon as the screen normally transitions into the next step of the boot process.
So thats my story. I just want to know if anyone knows if this is still a problem with the SD card or if my phone is completely beyond repair. Thanks a lot to anyone that tries to help
You got hit by the EU (encryption unsuccessful) bug. From what I hear not a whole lot you can do now except try this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303
There are a couple other threads in the dev section about this as well.

Ya that was the guide I tried but my external SD card wont partition, at least not through clockworkmod. When i press the button to partition, the partition process is instant, and i know it just has to skip it because there is no way it would partition that fast.
You could always pay to have jtag performed. It will overwrite all the screwed up stuff and fix the problem.

I think with the EU bug its just trashed. JTAG won't even fix it. There are a few stories of them coming back to life on their own, but no promises.
Hi we offer a work around re-map to have the partitions run on you external sdcard. Pm me if you need any help with this.
