I have a problem with my market application on my phone. Every time I want to update an application it force closes. I can browse but can't download.
I did use a market patch to see all, because I have an tattoo. Even if I go on app brain's application and try to update there via market it force close or just say starting download. It will say that until it force closes.
Please help, can't update any application anymore.
I have a similar problem. When I try to download something from market it says starting download, but the download never starts (no FC although).
what Rom??
I have an HTC Wildfire with Froyo 2.2.1 factory. It did not come with Android Market.
I tried to install the following files that I found linked on XDA but they are force closing:
vending2.2.11-signed
Vending_original_froyo_1.82
com.android.vending_2.2.6
I just found a 2.2.7 and I will try that but does anyone know what I can do?
no root no market
As far as I know, you can not install market without root access. And factory 2.2.1 can not be rooted as of this moment. But soon hopefully we will have root thanks to alpharev devs.
Good luck.
You can install apks without root by using HTC Sync. I put Skype, eBuddy, etc on but I cannot seem to find the right vending.apk that won't keep crashing.

Its really painful to have an android phone without market app. The stock froyo wildfire doesn't even have a file manager. Just after the hard reset, everytime i had to download the "X-plore" file manager from market to access the sd card contents (and even to start installing apk files.)
Ok. U must have added a gmail account to ur wildfire. If not do it. I think in this way if ur phone can be registered on google, then u might have option to remote install apps from PC android market (or) even the android market from your stock browser of wildfire which has htc flash lite [using the same gmail account that is attached to phone]. From browser, just after clicking on the install option, then u will see device compatibility. Here if u can see "wildfire" then it is possible. Just after confirming the installation, ur wildfire starts downloading the requested application (provided wildfire should be connected to internet). If download doesn't start, i think this remote installation requires market application on phone.

APP BRAIN APP MARKET ACCESS:
Ok..... Irrespective of the above android market, u can access the app brain app market and install apps from it. This one also can be accessed from a browser for remote app installation. As the present "app brain" and "fast web installer" apps are available for free in market, im attaching those things for u.
--- First install the below attached AppBrain_App_Market_v6.02.apk file. Then install the below attached Fast_Web_Installer_v2.11.apk" file. Then open the app brain and sign in with appropriate account. Then sync the apps on your phone. Then go to its settings and enable fast web installer. That's all. Now u will have the direct install option from the "app brain" app or from the browser of app brain website.
And one more thing for u. I have extracted "vending.apk" from the system folders of my same stock 2.2.1 wildfire. When opened it replaces the market app on my wildfire.
So it might install the google market app on ur wildfire. Also attaching that file.
Yes you can install apks without root. But you can't install market (vending apk) without root. It is a system file. atleast I could not
I thought for appbrain to work properly you still need market installed on your device. I don't think simply installing vending apk would work. You will get force closes. But you can still try. If you can't get it to work, you can use slideme . You can get it from www.slideme.org. It does not have as many apps as market does but it is a start.
Good luck,

Thanks for the help all.
I will try the extracted Vending apk. If that fails I will go the appBrain route. I did install appBrain but uninstalled it without trying anything. I was committed to getting Market.
It does really suck that they would not give you a way to get Market if your phone did not come with it.

Maybe u r right. Maybe the enabling of fast web installer needs Android market licence agreement. But I think its hard to say these things.
To check this, phone needs to be formatted to remove the google/market account. It will try to check it when I get time.
Hope the vending.apk works

As a last resort you can flash an official WWE rom which has market in it. I believe this can be done with a goldcard.

Ok, i checked some things. I may be wrong, and pls correct me if so.
-- Installation from pc android market is the same as fast web installer. So, it will be like either both work or both doesn't work.
-- I freshly formatted the phone and added the gmail account. But didn't open the market app. That means i didn't accepted the android market terms of service. I think this case is similar to the absence of market application in phone. Now i opened the pc android market and sign in with the same gmail account. I tried to install an app, but the device is not listed in compatibility list. Same with the app brain here. App brain gets installed but fast web installer cannot be enabled.
-- Then i opened the android market and accepted the terms of service. Now i can install apps from pc android market. Also here the fast web installer of app brain can be enabled. Everything works fine.
-- Then what i did is , go to the settings/ applications/manage applications/ , then opened market and uninstalled updates. Also cleared the data. This makes the android market become stock one again. Now when opened, it again asks for terms of service. Now without accepting the terms of service, i tried to install apps from pc android market. And it worked. Also the app brain fast web installation works here.
-- If i again format the device, same thing will be repeated again. I need to accept the terms of service for only the first time to make the fast web install work.
-- And if we change the sim card, we need to re-enter the password of the gmail account again. And till that, fast web installation will not work.
I don't know how to explain these, but maybe google will be having details regarding our phone format.

What i said in post #4 might not work.
And u said u installed apps with HTC sync. Is that ur carrier disabled the installation from unknown sources. If it is the case, OMG u really need a WWE RUU. If its not the case, maybe vending.apk or the WWE RUU solves ur problem.
If ur hboot is 1.01.0002 , then u can go with this process to flash a WWE RUU

I will check hboot. I did try reflashing it with some RUUs and it told me version mismatch, but that RUU had a lower version number.
This is an unlocked phone bought from online. I can install from unknown sources, I just can't seem to install the Vending.apk because they force close.
It would force close when I launch.
Then I try again and it would let me in.
Then it would force close when I search
Then it would let me back in and let me search
Then it would force close when I try to install an app. That is as far as it will go as it will force close everytime I try to install an app.
I will try all this stuff when I get the chance. Right now I am using my Moto Defy which I wish would get Froyo
You get version number error because the firmware on your phone is newer. But If you create a gold card and install the ruu it should work. Just search for gold card tool from klush( I hope I did not misspell it). It is very easy to do.
Then you should be able to flash any official ruu.

Sorry, appbrain just won't work if you don't have the market installed, as AppBrain still lets the market handle all app downloads.
may be u can use 1mobile market beside android market.because it almost cover all application in android market.the good news is yo don't need to register anything to download and install in your wildfire

Hey everyone, joined xda today in hopes of finding a resolution to a problem I've been having. I'm running cm7.0.3.1 and for some reason, I can't download any files using the browser. I've tried a few different types of files to no avail. I get either a .htm file or it simply says "download unsuccessful" in download manager. Clearing caches didn't help nor did opera mobile. The market still works fine and so do any in-app downloads. What could the cause be? Any help would be appreciated...
Try firefox, it's download manager is different then the others.
Do a quick reboot. That happens to me every so often, that normally fixes it.
Firefox didn't work either, download started but wouldn't actually download, even on wifi. I rebooted a few times, after Mozilla installed, and after clearing caches. I'll keep searchin' and tryin' though
odd..I don't have a clue..try tehs suggestion or reflash cm..odd really odd. Never had a problem..
install a better Rom..lol
Try downloading astro file manager. After download go into app and click menu then more then preferences. Go all the way to bottom and there is a check box that says enable browser downloader. Try that and see if it helps you. Before when I had a similar problem this fixed it.
Edit...I am also running cm7.

Linda file manager also enables that function by default. Search in android market.

Nothing was working... For now I'm on kings alliance ROM which is downloading files fine with the browser. So it's all good.
I have that problem too on Synergy. I am trying the Linda manager thing....hoping it helps

I am running the latest CM7 nightly (136), but I can't download or update any apps from the market app. If I go to the market in my browser I can update that way, but using the app I just get an error message. Any ideas why this would be? Ironically enough, I am running CM7 on my Samsung Mesmerize and it's doing the exact same thing. I have no idea what's going on.
Try to clear cache (or even data) on Market and Google Framework and see if it's better.

Is your Google account still there in Settings/Accounts? Mine is vanishing mysteriously, and Market tells me I need to sign in, then exits.
Hi everyone I'm new to nexus 7
I have unlocked BL and root installed cwm and i have just updated to SmoothROM-v3.2 via too.I'm but I have a problem that has occurred I can't download anything via any browser or even attachments via xda please can someone help
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app
Same over here.I am running stock android (unlocked,rooted,cwm).
And i can't download anything from a custom app or browser (chrome doesn't work either)
But I've figured out that by changing the download directory to storage/sdcard0 you can download anything you want.But you can only do this with opera or dolphin browser.In my case I can't even delete my files (except for files located in storage/sdcard).I tried it with my computer but it didn't work either.I am also getting error message 492 in the play store.
I tried everything (delete (dalvik) cache,reset my system etc.) but it didn't helped.
I am also having a download issue. It seems like ever since I updated to Smooth Rom 7.8 via Goo Manager (might be coincidence) and now I can't download from Goo (I get "errored download") and when I try to download from a browser it says "unable to download". I can download apps via Play Store w/ no issue. I think it may have to do w/ permissions? or path issues? Also I restored back to when everything was working and now the issue follows. Anyone?
I also flashed smooth ROM.But now i'm on stock again and it didn't helped.I also noticed that i only can't download huge apps propabally because they need to save data on your sdcard.(with small apps like angry birds i have no problems).So it definetldy has to do something with permissions and path issues.But i have no idea how to fix that.Any ideas?
