I ran into this problem too running the Sprint based Fresh rom. While Jcase's Market Fix will fix the problem with missing protected apps, it wont fix the missing Verizon apps.
To do that, I used Root Explorer on my phone and opened the "build.prop" file located in the System folder. Open the file in the included text editor and scroll down to until you see this line:
"ro.cdma.home.operator.numeric"
The correct value for the line should be "310012". Sprint roms will have the value as "310120".
Save the changes and exit. After reboot, check your Market. The right-most tab on the main page will read "Verizon" now instead of "Downloads".
Or flash this handy zip from recovery.

Anyone else having issues with the my Verizon app? Everytime I go into it it states phone number can not be verified

I know this is probably elementary, but is there a step by step post anywhere for flashing a zip file?
I just rooted last night and put the first custom ROM on my phone. This is uncharted territory for me. Everything is great so far except for these missing apps.
I tried the root explorer method, but it would only let me read the text, not edit.
EDIT: Ignore this post. GREAT SUCCESS!! Too easy.

Thank you.
I was doing it the hard way - download the app in a HTC/VZW Rom, copy them to SD, restore the Sprint ROM (Aloysius V12) and install.
Looking at them now in the Market.

THANKS. This worked great for me.
Does anyone know how to push a modded app to the HTC Desire and make it stay?
Because obviously on the HTC Desire pushing files normally with adb push doesn't make them stay.
Anyone got a solution?
what do you mean it doesn't make them stay?
if you push a file to the system/framework then it will be there
if it's the same file as one already in the phone then it will overwrite it
is your device in recovery when writing to the system folder?
sorry if im missing something here

Well I modded the smooth calender app and made the background transparent and then pushed it to /data/app where it was.
Works fine and shows up how it should.
But then when i restart my phone, it's gone, not in the app launcher or widgets menu but it's still there when I look for it in ROOT EXPLORER.
try pushing the file to system/app

I've done that too, doesn't work.
Do I have to do it in recovery when pushing apps?
Because it lets me push apps when the phone is normally on.
the phone must be in recovery in order to write to the system
boot into recovery
remove from data/app and system/app the old file
push to system/app the new file
reboot

Won't install either, was the first thing I tried.
It needs to be signed and I've tried every guide possible on how to sign apk's but none of them work.
it doesnt have to be signed if youre pushing it to your phone
if only has to be signed if you want to be able to flash it
which is actually a good idea considering that adb push isnt working for you
if you send me or upload the file i can sign it for you and you can flash it in recovery

Thank you for the help.
And i was wondering, couldn't I just take out the apps from that zip file and add more modded apps then flash them?
good good
if you unzip the file and then re-zip you'll lose the sign
i think you can add/remove files with a zip manager without actually unzipping
however the update script included in that zip will only allow flashing to /system/app
note that if you toggle signature verification in recovery then you can flash everything signed or not, although this is not good if you are distributing files.

Yeh i'm only going to add to it, not actually unzip it.
Yeh that's cool don't mind it being flashed to /system/app.

In the first one it says, "- edit <workdir>/META-INF/com/google/android/update-script".
Where do i get an update script from?
In the second link it doesn't say anything about making flashable zip files.
I've been to both of those websites before, done hours of searching, come back here for help but no one seems to know.
ive been trying to fix my phone for a week now and i need the original.mbr file that is in the remove voodoo thread. the link in there wont save as an mbr for me only as an html. i know someone has to have the file out there that can host it elsewhere for me. please for the love of android someone help me!!!!!!!

When I tried it, I saved it as original.mbr but if I went to properties it then said original.mbr.htm - and it didn't work when I tried to adb it to the phone. How do you save it as just the .mbr without the .htm adding back on?

thank you to the guy that actually met my request and hosted the file for me. Haven't tried it yet but I will first thing in the morning after work. Is the file supposed to only be 512b though? Al
Yeah, don't thank the original source, which works just fine, sans folks not understanding that browsers try to open files instead of saving them sometimes...

No need to feel unappreciated! I tried Firefox ie and chrome and had problems with each browser. I just want the damn file so I can fix my phone. All credit of course goes to you for the original source plus instructions. You are the man and as soon as I get my phone fixed keep your eyes peeled for a nice donation. Thank you for everything you've done good sir, but thank you most of all for your modesty lol

Just for future reference: I'm betting you left-clicked on the link then right-clicked on the page that had "ƒ������ðŸ1�����ƒ���� 1��������ƒ���� 7��������������������Uª" at the top and selected "Save page as" What you were supposed to do was right-click on the link and select (for Firefox and Chrome) "save link as..." and then click save. This way it saves the original file.
I installed the Market apk with the fix last fall, but today I downloaded the new version of Market that brings movie and books to 2.2 or higher and the install failed. Is there a trick to getting this new market on the Archos.

Make sure Install from Unknown Sources is checked in the Applications menu, though I think the message would say this if that was the problem. Then try deleting the market apk from /data/test/froyo/system/app (I think that's the location, look around in there for it), then reinstalling with the downloaded apk. If it still won't install, try copying the downloaded apk to the location you deleted the original market apk from, and see if market shows up again.

I searched using Astro and the only file with market in the name is
/system/app/0MarketUpdater.apk I tried uninstall, no joy. I try long hold using astro to delete, no joy. I went to settings/applications uninstalled gAppinstaller rebooted tried to install the apk no joy. I have no option to uninstall market (system/applications say version 1.82 when I go to details)
so I am open to suggestions on how to update the market app.

You can't mess with anything on /system without root. That's just a shortcut anyways. The file has to be in /data/test somewhere. It could also be called vending.apk.
Can you post the file here please.

Here:
http://www.multiupload.com/2TRUW4L630
1) Install zipsigner 2
2) Download New Market apk
3) Go to zipsigner 2 app and click Choose In/Out and look for com.android.vending1.apk, click it.
4) Select "Platform" under Key/mode
5) Sign the file
6) You will see the new name for this app appeared as "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk"
7) Through back button go to menu and open your es File Explorer or Astro and look for "com.android.vending-1-signed.apk" (make sure you are looking for the App which has word "signed" in it.)
8) Install the App and launch it
why so complicated?
In Orginal Archos Android:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /data/test/froyo/system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
In Uruk or CM7:
1. Rename to Vending.apk.
2. use RootExplorer or Terminal to copy it to /system/app/Vending.apk
3. Reboot
does anyone know how to get all the apps working in the market using cm7?
ive tried updating the fingerprint in build.prop and im still getting limited apps.
maybe im missing something??
let me know...
thanks

I don't know im afraid.
So I just installed EH06 (from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1221253) and it's running well, but it's loaded up with a bunch of stock apps I'd like to get rid of. Is there a easy way to get rid of these apps? (sprint tv, nascar, etc) I basically want to barebones it as much as possible.
Thanks!
I use super manager, free on the market, to remove unwanted stock apps.
I tried deleting the files from \system\app but wasn't able to get rid of them. (using super manager)
Hit menu, goto setup, check root function (I also have silent installer checked) then next time you enter system/app/ it should ask if you want it to be r/w, select that and it should allow you to remove them.
Had root already enabled, had to get into settings and hit the 'switch system r/w' settings and then it was fine. Just browsed to /system/app and got rid of the junk i didn't want to keep. thanks for the help/reply!

Yep, it gets the job done.
edit: oh yea and it has a backup feature so use it.
It's no fun to remove something only to find out that thing you removed is more important than you thought THEN find out that you need to either reinstall or start a pointless thread asking people to post apks for you.. nobody likes that guy. don't be that guy.

Here is another approach if you are willing to reflash download this Rom: Samsung-Epic-EH06-DeOdex-Update then open the zip file using 7-zip, winzip or a similar archive program. Afterward open the system folder and then the app folder, then delete or add the .apk file you want or don't close the archive and save your progress. Afterward flash this Rom Via CWM and then you are done.
