Yesterday i decide to unlock and root my Nexus, wrong decision. After that i cant get pay apps from market y try everithing un-odex-ed Vending.apk, clear market cacher, restore from backup, and the last thing was restore the original shipped rom with this guide without luck. I restore the phone full to the factory shipped room, radio, boot image, recovery image and system image.
Somebody can help me on this?
Check your APN settings and make sure they're correct with your carrier.
Settings > Wireless > Mobile Networks > APN
Something like that.. Just going off memory. If they're not right, you could be connecting using the wrong network and that could be why it's blocking you. Now if you're using WiFi and it's still not letting you, then I'm at a loss...
In your picture it looks like you do not have a sim card in, so if you have not already, try it with the sim card in. Since I am attempting to "help" I am guessing you may not be signed in to a google account, and without being signed in they can't collect payment for the money apps.
This was the problem i was setting up the nexus with out simcard because i dont want miss any call. Dam a hole day in this shi.....
Thanks all for you help

Ok I just got an unlocked mytouch 3g that I need to do a factory reset. I've done it at least 5 times now (settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset) and it is not clearing the phone at all.
Doesnt even erase a call log. What do I have to do to restore this to factory. Its almost unusable since it has the old owners info attatched to it. I cant use the app store or anything.
*edit*
Looks like the phone was previousely rooted. Now I have to do some reasearch...
Let me know what you find out... When I decide to try a new rom, I "wipe" my phone by formatting my SDCard, creating 3 partitions, etc., then I install the rom and it seems like the phone still thinks I have installed apps and it already knows my login id's etc., So obviously that stuff is being stored on the phone and not the SDCard so I'd like to know how to get rid of it.
My touch
If your logging into google they store that information on their server.
Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...
are you on 3G or wifi?
WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...
I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3477
i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.
Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?
I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!
Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.
Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....
Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!
have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.
I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!
I got my girl a Shift on my plan. I wanted to surprise her and have it all setup...rooted with free wifi tether then give it to her. So, I had to enter a google account so I could access the market. I entered mine, thinking I could pull it back out and put hers in when she created one (she's a yahoo user). I added hers, but it says you can't delete the main one. without doing an erase Not that I care if she has all my contacts and info...but she wants her own stuff. i really don't want to totally wipe the phone and have to re-root it and redo the aps. Help?
Thanks!

Backup your apps with Ti Backup, do a reset (you don't need to un-root to do that), and win.

Oh...the only app I've added is wifi tether, so that's not a big deal to put back on...I was worried about re-rooting. I'm a total n00b. So...how to I reset it? lol
Also, that backup app...is that something I can get in the market?

Do you have Clockwork Mod Recovery installed via ROM Manager?
Also the app I referenced is actually called "Titanium Backup" - link here - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&feature=search_result
What ROM are you running? Did you do perm root? Resetting factory data shouldn't lose root if you perm rooted it.
Are you running clockwork recovery?
Anyways check this link. 2 methods. Hope this helps.
fanofandroid.com/2011/04/how-to-factory-reset-htc-evo-shift-4g.html
is it possible to switch the accounts around without doing a reset? I'm sure she could do the reset, but if anything goes wrong, like it needing to be re-rooted...she is NOT capable of that. The reason i'm asking is my girl is 3 hours away and I'd like to port over her number before the wekend but don't want her stuck witghout her contacts. And she has MY contacts right now.
if you're perm rooted (not temp), then you do not have to "re-root". just go into Settings>SD & Phone Storage & hit Factory reset. the only thing you're gonna lose are your apps and contacts.
then when its done. she puts in her own gmail account, and her own contacts... redownload the one app you put in and you're done.
I bought a Desire Z about two weeks before the 1.72.405.2 OTA update came along, and I allowed it to update (Yeah I know, this was after all my first Android device).
Anyway, lately my phones been running slowly and apps force closing, so I've decided to downgrade it and root it (psneuter method), and try some different ROM's.
What I was wondering is, what would be the best way without root, to backup as much of my data as possible, apps, sms, files, and also if possible a backup that I can use in case I scew it up, so I can get it back to the way it is now.
I have a copy of:-
RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed
which I believe is the stock ROM for this device, but as far as I know if it goes wrong I'll be unable to flash this as the update won't allow me to flash an earlier version..
Would I be able to mount and then backup the whole phone using adb or any other method.
I've been reading about it for a while now, and while I have lots of bits of information, I've been unable to find a good solution.
Thanks,
...John...

Without root, a good app to backup your other apps is astro file manager, its available free from the market, you just have to hit menu, tools and it'll back up all the apps on your sd card, in terms of files, just make sure their all on your sd card and they'll be fine
Not sure how to back up SmS but i know their are apps out their, a point you may have forgotten is to make sure you back up your contacts as they all get wiped and I made this mistake, the easiest way to do that is to make sure your contacts sync up with your google account so after rooting, you can just sync them back,
Hope i helped!
Use google to remember what apps you've downloaded from market. Once associated, when you flash a new rom, google will automatically redownload all your associated apps. For sms, i suggest you download GoSMS and use their internal backup feature. It will save to sd and be visible to your stock sms app as well on restore.

Ya but too many times google starts restoring apps that I uninstalled months ago. Great idea but bad implementation imo.

Sorry I haven't replied, was in work all day yesterday.
I have Astro File Manager, but I hadn't even considered it, thanks. I have my contacts sync'd with Google, so it seems that as long as I backup my files and sms everything else should be done automatically anyway.
Go SMS seems worth getting anyway, as the bog standard Android messages app is seriously dull. I'll give it a try.
I had wondered about Google Market restoring apps, but I thought it would only reinstall apps that were installed at the last sync.
If you install an app and it screws up your phone, and do a factory reset then Google will just reinstall the app that caused all the problems in the first place.
Definitely a good idea, but needs more work.
Anyway, thanks for all the info, I'll give it try tonight, when I get back from work.

I find SMS Backup & Restore to be the best app for this purpose and I wouldn't recommend the backup feature from the market, as you said it is likely to give problems.
Without root though, the backup choices are somewhat limited for apps and such.
I've been using Super Manager by gpc. It works pretty good, plus offers a ton of other features that can be used with or without root.
I've backed up what I could, although it's typical that as soon as it's all gone I realised things that I should have wrote down (I had been using the wallet/pocket app and although I backed up all my apps, I'm guesing it won't have backed up any of the passwords, logins, bank details, etc).
Anyway, I've downgraded and successfully rooted my phone (through gfree), I have CID: 11111111 and S-Off, but I haven't installed and ROM's yet as I read somewhere that you are supposed to wipe everything between ROM's, am I wiping the Davlik cache or doing a factory reset (I mean won't the factory reset just reset my stock ROM back to it's original condition).
I'm also wondering about finding custom ROMs, on my dell streak I had installed ROM Manager and could get a list of any that were available.
I first installed ROM Manager and used it to flash recovery, but this time I've installed CWM first, so would it be safe to install ROM Manager now, will it want to flash a recovery over the one I have already.
Or is it not advisable to use ROM Manager, as I have previously heard of a few problems it may cause.
Thanks ...John...
Rom manager shouldn't give any problems, but for custom roms it's best to take a look at the development forum. If you don't like that you can still use the list in rommanager, it might be just me who prefers downloading roms to my pc first.
But before you install any of them I recommend you make a nandroid backup from recovery just to be safe.
I think the issues were that some people, not all, found problems flashing some of the gingerbread roms via Rom manager. Better to save the Rom to SD and then flash it via CWM.
Right I've done a nandroid backup, and I've saved one to another mSD card which I can keep somewhere just in case (probably a bit over cautious, but...).
I thought that by saving apps to an sd card, they would run from the sd when I restarted my phone, even the ones that I had moved previously with the application manager in settings are not seen.
Still reinstalling the ones I want isn't really that bad.
Seriously, somebody needs to sort out the Markets app backups feature, when I was setting up the phone at first, I specifically chose to not automatically sync with Google and that I would do it manually when needed. Then I went in to the market to get a file manager and the download failed, it was only when I looked at what was going on I realised it was already downloading and reinstalling 96 apps. I looked around for a 'cancel all' option and there isn't any, so I had to cancel them all one by one and then uninstall the ones that had managed to install.
A simple checklist to select the apps you want would be great, oh, and a cancel all button would be a bonus.
Anyway, things are not as much fun when they're too easy.
Thanks ...John...
Hi,
So Ive looked and I cant seem to find an answer for this besides "select the back and restore option" and "use titanium backup".
Heres my issue:
Ive noticed that when I load different roms, sometimes at startup you go through the google account setup, sometimes you dont.
When you do, wifi passwords and apps are restored. yay!
When you dont, they are not restored. Even after you access the play store, enter your google account info, and select "backup and restore". In fact I think this may delete all your info.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this for these roms that dont force or start with a standard google setup? Or what Im missing? Its just a pain if your switching roms a lot and Im hoping to figure out a workaround because titanium backup doesnt always work right when switching between two totally different rom versions and its just nice to get on wifi and start downloading stuff right away when you boot into a new rom..
Thanks!
