Root unpartitioned sd card and screwed up phone...HELP please

[karib]

I am getting a fascinate next week, so I thought I should unpartition my sd card in preparation for the new phone. I followed the directions listed here:
The Amon_RA recovery ("Wipe" sub-menu) entry "Wipe SD:ext partition" only deletes the files that are there - it does not change the partitioning of the card.

If you want to un-partition the card, use the "Partition sdcard" menu, and select "Partition SD".

When it asks you for the size of the swap and ext partitions, enter a value of zero for both; it will then re-partition the entire card as VFAT/FAT32.

Note for the OP: Back your entire SD card up to the PC before you start! Re-partitioning destroys everything on the SD card

I then did a system reboot. Now most apps are gone and most importantly things like the Market say that "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone". I have no idea what I did wrong! I do have titanium backup, but I don't know how to restore anything with it because its not showing up anywhere on my phone and I can't get into the market to reinstall it. I did make a copy of my sd card before unpartitioning it and then reloaded it. Can someone please help a girl out here??

Did you have the apps that are gone installed on the SD card?I believe copying those files to your computer breaks the market link. I've never tried to do what you did to know for sure, but when I install things like skinned keyboards or swype, they do not have a market link (could be because they are not in the market). I would try reflashing the ROM you are using. That should fix the market and you can redownload all of your apps.

Karib, I'm thinking that at this point your best bet would be to flash a new ROM to your phone (or re-flash the existing one). I suspect that will ultimately be faster and easier than trying to correct the current problems.

I did try to flash Plain Jane over it again, but that didn't help. So I went ahead and flashed "backflash" to unroot since I am hopefully getting an annual upgrade and turning this phone in anyways. That worked!! I was freaking out for a while there. Although I managed to root, flash roms, do ap2sd and more... I am NOT very good at this and was questioning why I ever did it in the first place and screwed up my phone, lol. Thanks for the help though.
