A couple of days ago my phone stopped updating apps from the markets, any market. I can download and install apps, but they won't update. The down arrow starts then I get
def"...
can not update to usb storage or on sd card

I tried wiping the dalvac cash. and fixing permissions.
The phone is running 2.2 is rooted with unrevoked 3 and is running the stock rom.

from what its saying, it seems to me that you have apps moved to your sd card??? if thats the case try moving them back to your phone and update...

after the cash wipe is complete. I get
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
(file exists)
dalvik cache wiped.

not sure if this is related to your issue but i just looked up your error and it seems that it is associated with clockwork mod recovery. i would suggest that you switch to amon ra 2.3. it is a much better recovery. go and use this guide:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html. go to the switching recovery section to get the instructions on how to do it.

Can I do that without re-rooting the phone?
The reason I asked is, I would like to upgrade to ginger-cake, but I didn't know if I had to take care of this problem first.
I am not running a different rom or kernel, both are stock.
the last time I checked I had to unroot the phone then re-root to do the upgrade.
I have a clockwork back-up pf the whole phone, over on my PC, I did right before this problem started. (I forgot to tell you folks that) I Don't knowif this will make things easier, or not.

no do not follow the whole guide. there is a section in the guide that has directions on how to switch recoveries. i think that it is a clockwork mod issue. i have amon ra on my phone and have never had that error come up. i did a search and all of it was with clockwork mod. try switching recoveries. and wipe dalvik cache and cache and reboot. also do not forget to make a nandroid backup first. and your old clockwork mod nandroids will not work with amon ra.

Ocn you know more than me but just wondering if it may be smarter and safer to run the clockwork get the phone running then switch the recoveries?

well not of it is not wiping cache properly. clockwork mod in my opinion just does not wipe very well and you can run into issues with it. i had tons of issues when i was on clockwork mod and switched to amon ra and most of my issues went away.

how are the apps moved to the card? I moved them with App 2 SD Pro.
what rom are you on? I am running the stock rom that came on the phone rooted with unrevokded 3.
you can try and flash a gingerbread rom and see if that takes care of your issue. use titanium backup to backup your apps. I have titanium back up pro on the phone now.
i would recommend that you try mikg2.5 to start. There won't be a bunch of things I have to fix once I do this?
will I need to go back to the factory settings before I do this?

go to the http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all...ooting-dummies-guide-gingerbread-edition.html, and go to the flashing section it will give you instructions on how to flash a rom.
