-48204: Path failed. My take: there is probably a package loading that tries
to access some value using a "path" that doesn't exist, probably in the
system soup, but could also be a non-existing soup. Very hard to fix, unless
you know what apps is trying to do that and what it is trying to access...
-48412: Expected a frame or an array. My take: one application is expecting
to find some kind of complex structure of data, but finds only a primitive
one, like an integer, a string or the likes.
-48809: Undefined method. My take: some app is actually trying to send a
message to another object, except this one doesn't respond to that message
(or method).
I think that all those errors are probably caused by corrupted data
somewhere. Hey, that's a wild guess, so take it with a grain of salt.
If I were you, I would freeze all packages on the memory card, and unfreeze
them one by one. You would get the same result than if you would do a
restart.
