I'm not able to download directly from forums anymore for some reason. I have unknown sources checked but when I try to download something off internet and forums, the box that asks if you want to download from unknown source pops up and disappears. I'm running fresh 3.1 since day it came out and haven't had this problem til today. I've searched but I can't find a problem similar to mine. If anyone has a solution or can point me in the right direction I would be very much obliged. Ive already tried full system wipe and re flashing. Any other advice?
*ahem* bump
A little advice
excuse my idiot friend, he logged onto my laptop and read something, then posted.
apologies.

Hi folks,
First I wanna take a moment to thank the community for all the great work.
with out your hard work and excellent tutorials I would not have been able to do this on my own.
I Originally had JF1.42RC33, and had used MarcusMaximus's AppstoSD application found here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3627492#post3627492
When JF put out his 1.5ADP recently I went ahead and flashed that without wiping. I also updated the Radio immedietly after flashing JF's ROM. Everything was working fine at this point.
Then when johnowa636 posted his Aero port based on the JF build.
Found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511183
I decided to flash that, because I really like Aero. Everything at this point was good, with the occasional forceclose error coming from com.vending.something (sorry i just don't remember the excact error)
So recently when Ultra Spikey posted his Aero theme for JF1.5
Found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482799
I decided to Flash once again the Original JF1.5 I had downloaded from JF's blog. and then I flashed the theme created by Ultra Spikey.
Everything seems fine, but it's not. All the apps installed work and function as they should and the Market sees all my installed apps and purchased apps. it sees them as installed and some have updates available.
The problem Im having is when I clik on update, I get a starting download, but it just sits there and never downloads. I've tryed on both 3G and wi-fi and still it is not working. I also tryed to just download an app i didn't have. and also it would not download.
If anyone can help guide me in the right direction so I can learn what is wrong and how to fix it, I would really appreciate it.
I have the SDK installed in windows XP 64bit and also have a drive I installed Debian 5.0 on. I installed Debian so I could partition the SD, but Im a totall newbie to it.
I hope I've provided enough info. If there is anything else I can add please let me know, And thanks for taking the time to read this.
Something similar happened to me today after I (finally) got A2SD working on JF1.5. Apps were downloading fine initially, but then stalled. Got stuck on the same "Starting download..." step just like yours did. I left it there, remembering people having a similar issue a month ago or so, and eventually they downloaded and installed fine.
Is it just the market throttling people who download too many apps within a short time frame?
Off-topic question. Does the Aero v1.3 theme work with Open Home, or is it purely for the stock launcher?
Thanks for the reply ^^
I'll try just waiting and see if the download issue resolves itself.
I do have open home installed. it seems to work just fine with Ultra spikey's theme. i've a atached 2 screenshots.
Problem is fixed.
waiting did not solve the problem I had downloading apps.
Having no other input for ideas on how to go about fixing this I simply wiped, Reformated the ext2 partition ( just to be sure I started with a clean slate ), and reflashed JF1.5.
I then Applied the Aero theme and Finally used the A2SD method found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512743
All is working well
I would close this thread, but I do not know how.
I have been having the "Starting Download/Download Unsuccessful" market issue for the last month. It just did not work, no matter what I tried (I had tried every solution)
Finally today, I managed to fix the issue.
The issue was *NOT* related to market or google for that matter.
I checked the system logs on my galaxy s using *#9900# (dumped it to sdcard) and searched for vending, I noticed the error "D/DownloadManager( 3220): download aborted - not enough free space in internal storage"
I had enough storage space on the internal storage as well as the external SD card.
The problem was, my partitions were messed up. When flashing a galaxy s using ODIN, its possible to specify a partition file (.pit file). If u supply the wrong file with the wrong firmware, the partitions are messed up.
I also noticed the error "cant mount /dev/block/stl11 " in my 2e recovery bootloader, which clearly indicated something was amiss with the partition scheme. The phone worked, so I just ignored the error. stupid me!
To fix I downloaded the original firmware (from https://www.wuala.com/Samsung Galax...and Odin/Original Firmwares/?key=AfzUZSU4SpKU) and refrashed using the pit in the firmware archive. Market works now .
I have since upgraded to custom roms and market continues to work.
So in short, I would recomend you guys check if you are seeing any errors in recovery 2e. If you are seeing errors, maybe google's not to blame.
Well just wanted to say that even though I haven't used this fix - my market works fine - I appreciate your posting this solution.
I flash a lot on my SGS and SGTab, and if I ever get the market download bug, then I know I flashed the wrong PIT and will fix it with this knowledge
Thanks again.
There is another fix that I discovered after searching a lot.
Before losing all hope and reflashing(if you aren't getting the error described above), try clearing the cache for Download Manager, Market, Media Storage.
Then reboot. It should work. It's worked many times for me.
I was also able to solve my market problem a month ago when I did what the OP did... Thanks for posting this to help others!!!
I don't think it has anything to do with pit files or whatever. I have the market problem too and when I connect to my University WIFI I can't download a **** (I don't have a data plan on the phone).
But when I connect to an open network available around my work place, downloads start as they should.
So the solution for me is - connect to another hot-spot.
To sum it all up - in the last month I've read about 30 different "solutions" and they don't work for everyone. Android Market in its current form is full of **** and Google better start working on it if they don't want to be laughing stock for the ifanboys.
I don't have any error message on my recovery screen, but every once in a while I still get download problems (even on the same wifi network). I can't think of any explanation except for an error on Google's side.
I believe this is only ONE of the reasons. Many times I encountered the downloading problem, I just ignore it and wait for some while then I try again and it works.
BTW, the most time I have the problem is the indicator shows downloading reached 100% but "Installation" never start. Then I have to click "Cancel" and try again later.
I have this issue with 1 rom only! Axura... any other the market works fine!
I was having the same problem (even the 2e recovery message) and my downloads in market wouldnt start!
I have even created a topic here:
After trying all available solutions around there I ended up flashing a brand new JPO and everything is working now.
Didn't know that was the problem, nice find!
I am posting a link to this topic in mine, there are more ppl with same problem!
I recently was running jt1134's CM7 Alpha, My phone was running perfect.
Now today, I decided to revert back to stock, because I was going to trade my phone to someone. I downloaded the stock .zip file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1046377
After flashing that, I can get everything to work, except for syncing my Google account and WiFi. I get the error saying that I am not connected to a mobile network, and that I need to try again. I've tried countless times over the past hour to do so, And not once has it been successful.
I would try on wifi, but it just so happens that WiFi doesnt work either, it will see our networks, but It will not get past obtaining an IP address. Does anyone have any input on to why this is happening?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place, I didn't know if it went in Q&A or General, so I just threw it in here. Please inform me, or just move it if I happened to be in the wrong place. Thanks in advance everyone.
Can anyone help?
I fixed it.. I flashed the debinged/debloated/rooted All-in-one package..
Ok, here it goes. let me first say that I am just learning alot of this stuff. I'v had my DX for almost a year now and had it Z4rooted and the tether apk applied in no time at all then came the GB update which was actually pushed onto me. So be it.
I have been watching the forums and reading posts off and on since the update, waiting till another reliable tether patch came out. I have the radiocomm app but was always leery of using it with my limited knowledge in this field.
Today after alot of reading I decided to install Liberty3 v2.0 Gold and did so with no problem whatsoever. then I continued reading and then decided to continue on with 3GHotspot.zip and TBH_DX_Tether_Patch_1.0.zip in that order. I did it through the built in ROM mgr. in liberty3 in the rom toolbox. with reboots in between.
I then went into my apps list and clicked on the new 3G wi-fi tether icon and was immediately shot to my boot screen animation. Thinking this was a fluke I attempted it 2 more times with the same result, Reboot. After this I noticed that I was on 3g data and no longer connected to my home wi-fi router I went in and tried to turn that back on but it won't even try. I'm locked out of wi-fi now as well.
I then turned to my friend google and started looking around and found one post and only one posting listing at mydroidworld post# 35944 that had this link "3GHotspot Unpatch --- Download" but that link was broken because of it being a megaupload link (which we all know was seized by the feds)
I have no idea what to do to rectify this situation. I am all for re-flashing the ROM and plan on doing that but I would like some guidance on this before I start messing things up worse than they already are. are there uninstalls for both of thes zips? if so where? have either of these altered my radios NVM authentication strings with these hacks and patches? can they be undone? please help.
Nope, no uninstalls for those zips. At least not to my knowledge.
Ok, I ended up having to SBf back to .602 with RSDLite 5.4.4 and then take the OTA update to .605.
I then re-flashed the Liberty3 v2.0Gold and then through the built in ROM Mgr. I installed the WugPacked GB Tether Patch.zip and everything worked out great. working free Wi-Fi. Thanks to those that both helped and wanted to help but forgot to post anything in the space provided.
Issue solved.
hello xdadev,
i really need your help. I am a newbie in android world [just purchased my first android device] last month [samsung galaxy tab p6800]. since then, i was really excited to explore android world and its features where I was led to this site.
now, heres my problem: just this afternoon, at first, i used my wifi to access a shopping mall internet connection. but minutes after turning my wifi off, when i turned it on again to connect to another network, i was surprised that it wont start and when i open the settings menu, under it says error. im really worried.
had my unit restored to factory settings but still no changes. Rooted my galaxy tab but today, i unrooted it thinking that the rooting caused the trouble.
im also hoping to update my tab to ICS but with this problem, im really stuck! i dont know how to access my apps in the appstore.
is this a firmware error or a hardware problem? please help me. my tab helps me a lot.
thanks in advance. im willing to add some details if you could help me.:crying:
try to go back to the mall where it 1st connected, if it still doesn't connect, then use your warranty and ask for replacement.
7.7 is notorious for being a bit choosy when it comes to wifi, sometimes, it just stuck with "obtaining IP address" then will revert back to scanning.
I also encountered your error before, but I just simply turn the wifi on and off again
before going back to your retailer, try to totally deplete the battery first (it's like removing the battery) then charge your unit and try to connect again
good luck
the last thing i could remember was busybox got updated but failed to install. is there any possibility that the failure caused the problem?
nope

Click to collapse
Ah, sorry, busybox could, and may very likely be the culprit! An older version did just that to my (I have the 6810), and a number of others, tabs.
This was for Stericson's version 8.0 and here was his reply to my email:
Sadly you fell prey to a bug that was in Version 8.0 of my installer. I fixed it in 8.1, but it seems many still got the bugged version.
To fix the issue, you need to reflash your current rom. You do not need to wipe or clear any data.
You can also look in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1691410&page=2
It has an update method that should fix your issues.
Again, I apologize for this error
Please let me know if you need anything else from me.
I did just that and reflashed my rom using Odin and then re-rooted. I haven't, since, re-installed Stericson's busybox although later versions supposedly fixed the problem. I see there has just been another update in the Play store.
Damn I got the same error today, also after a lot of updates came trough.
Still working on fixing it. Will restore backup first after full wipe..
EDIT : Ok just went to recovery via power+volume up , factory reset, a nandroid restore and wifi working again.
Phew.
Ah! Got my tab working again. Thanks guys for the link and comments. The (update. Zip), did fix the issue. Busybox related bug. Starting to re download my apps again since I got my tab data wiped. :-(

Not rooting my phone as of now. Will wait for the ICS first before rooting again. Tab is fully working already.
