Hello everyone, First post here on the forums... Names Dominick.

OK, ill make this short n sweet. Rooted my Droid incredible with the unrevoked method. everything was fine for 3 days and then all my apps started to malfunction or wouldent even show up. I uninstalled alll my downloaded apps, re downloaded them n installed. 3 days later i have the same problem. they are all malfunctioning again. PLEASE help or if there is a way to unroot with the unrevoked method i cant seem to find an easy way to unroot anywhere.

Thanks Dominick.
 
+1 on the factory reset. Also, do another thing--look in /data to see if the apk for the missing app is there. Also, when you say malfunctioned, do you mean force close?

if so, do this:

go to a terminal (terminal emulator app is great) and run
Code: 
df

there should be something that pops up as /deb/block/mtdblock6. My bet is the usage for that is very very close to 100%.

If it is, type
Code: 
su
du -d1 /data/data | sort -n

whichever apps are the biggest should be uninstalled. That will fee up space and allow you to stop the force closes.

Thank you guys for your responses Please bare with my Noobness

by factory reset do you mean holding down power/vol down and selecting factory reset?

and to Nkk I cannot even use Market place b/c it force closes every time and yes by malfunction i mean when i open an app it will either hang n do nothing or give me a force close message

I dont believe its an issue of 100% usage only for the reason of ive had the same apps installed before the root and had absolutaly no issues. same with my g/f's incredible... i rooted mine was Mint for a week. i rooted hers the next day it was messing up and 2 day later mine started the same issues

at this point i just want my phone working properly im ready to try the unroot. the WIFI tether is just not worth all these issues to me.

again i appreciate the responses Please keep them coming -Dominick
 
Hold volume down and then power, use the volume keys to highlight recovery, use the power button to select it, then in recovery you can wipe data, you use volume keys to highlight options and the trackball to select, the power button will take you to the previous menu.
 
Terminal emulator apk - Free Download - (11 Files)


There are downloads for a terminal emulator apk. I just googled it. Use adb to install it, and then use the emulator. I had the same problem, and it was that my /data/data (also know as mtdblock6 on the DINC) was nearing 100% full, and android was freaking out about it. Before you factory reset or anything, I strongly suggest you try this.

EDIT: You do not need to have more apps. If you install Google Earth (usually a big offender), it uses little datadata space. But as you cache things, it grows. Same with every other program that stores data locally (which is almost every program). So this problem can crop up with no changes to the app list.
