I rooted my phone with the update.zip method from here: http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su-busybox-i9000-26-06-2010-a-1355/
And I didn't had to wipe the cache. Which method did you use?

the same but you will get it in the Future

How to solve it without wiping:
just go to manage applications in Settings and clear cache or data of "Download Manager" and it works perfectly fine after that. I had that problem and it annoyed me so much until I found that fix.

ive had this issue after updating to the latest official firmware, i did see the option before i restart my phone to clear partition cache... i wonder if this fix my download issues too...

u need to change the filter setting to all then u can see all the apps like download manager and clear the data..
settings->applications->manage applications->(change filter to 'all' and select download manager then press 'clear data')

yeah i tried that before and it didnt work... i just reflashed to F7 rom then at the option i chose clear partition cache and also clear all user data etc,
basically the phone booted as it came out of the box...
Market downloads work now...

none of the methods works for me.. :/
I flashed my galaxy s with the fjb for PDA and fj5 Phone I didnt flash the CSC. Everything works great except that the phone refuses to download apps from the market..
first i tryed deleting cash from the download manager, and afterwards i tried rebooting the phone in recovery mode as OP explained.. both methods have been carried out correctly, but none of them worked.. Would the next step be to whipe all data from the phone with option nr 2 in recovery mode ? Or is this simply because i didnt flash csc ?
If someone could please explain what PDA Phone and CSC is it would be nice too.. I'm quite new to android but quite experienced flasher of chips for xbox's, ps's and wii's, so please do get technical

I did not flash firmware. I have original JF4 Firmware. I cannot download any apps after 5 to 10 downloads. 1.7 GB free local phone storage. Only solution is factory data reset. Please help!

what exact error are you getting if the market never connects just says retry.. i got that same error after updating and the only think i could do was a factory reset and that fixed it.
2nd if you are not seeing paid and secure apps.. this is a different issue with the build.prop file in the newer f/w versions not being recognized by the marketplace so it knows you are rooted/hacked and doesnt show them so you cannot get at them and distribute them.. i posted a fix for this and fw/ jf7 search on my name to find it.

hmm i'm in Denmark where we sadly can't even see the paid apps yet.. fuked up.. But i can see all the free apps, but when i try to download it says the app will be downloaded.. And then instead of starting it comes up with the error saying it was unsuccessful..

am i really the only one with this problem.. ???

madfarmer, you may have an IMEI issue, try this:
Go to the phone app and dial *#06# and note the IMEI it reads out here.
Then check the IMEI under the battery, do they match? If they don't this is your issue.

they match.. so i guess it isn't that :/

I have the same problem as madfarmer, and I didn't flash the csc file too. Could reflashing the JFB rom with all the files, so including the csc file help?
Edit: Reflashing the rom with the csc file has helped so far...

Just flashed the phone again with all 3 including CSC and now everything seems to work.. The marketdownloads the apps just fine.. a little ****ed up thing is that there is now a bookstore app with only russian books in it but other than that everything seems perfect..

Looks like you have to flash the csc as well, cos I flashed the 3 files together. As to the russian thing, use adb to remove those apps. Delete the stored web pages, they are all russians too.

so.. Do i need to root the phone to be able to remove the apps.. and do you by any means know what the apk file is called ?

1.click Google Talk
2.Login Google Talk
3.push Home
4.open market
that will be start download
good luk

[Q] com.google.process.gapps force close EVO

Question, Im getting alot of "com.google.process.gapps" force closes on my EVO since I restored a few apps thru Titanium Backup. I rooted about a week ago and never had any issues with this. The only apps that I restored was angry birds and a to-do-list app along with all the data that came with the apps. I have tried cleaning caches and restarting the phone and nothing seems to work... what would you suggest? I seen a few threads when i searched - but they were for the G1 and the Captivate, nothing for the EVO... any help would be appriciated...
TIA

Did u flash any Rom or Theme??

nope, I rooted and am still using the stock ROM... I was going to flash Frost or some thing, but I want to make sure this doesnt carry over to the flashed ROM, or if there is a fix...I would prefere to fix it...
I am also getting a force close on the phone process.... when some one calls me and I ignore the call it force closes the process for the phone as well...

Try reinstalling the gapps.apk. One of them must of been corrupted by the data you restored.

do you know where I can find that at? I have never heard of it...

Also the thing that is confusing, is I can still access my market, maps, latitude, people, gmail... etc
If the apk or files were corrupted, I wouldnt be able to access those apps... i will try to reinstall the apk, but I would like to know what I did to make this error happen, so I know not to do it again...

one thing I think it could have been was there were two "people" files in my Titanium Back up... One was up near the top it said "People 1.00" and then there was one near the bottom with a line thru it that said "People 1.1.1" or some thing to that effect... I deleted the one at the bottom with the line thru it cause I thought I didnt need it any more... could this be wahts up with this error?
I can still access People thru the People widget, but some times it takes abnormally longer to load my list of contacts...
I can also still access Market, Gmail, Maps, Latitude...
I just clciked on Talk and it seems to be the problem, every time I click Talk it brings up the force close issue...
should I just reinstall the Talk.apk?
I also get "com.android.phone" force close when I decline a call...
when I went into my ROM manager, I clicked the "fix permissions" and it says "error occurred while attempting to run privlaged commands"
Any info on any of this would be great...

Anyone out there
Sent from my EVO while tethered into the Matrix thru Wifi...

Okay well I have googled/searched XDA 'til I was green in the face... I still can't figure out how to fix this issue?
Just answer me this, If I do an entire factory reset - will I loose root?
I have wiped the cache thru recovery, Should I try wiping the delvic-cache also, before I factory reset to see if that works??
I can not find any where to download the "gapps.apk" anywhere, I found this one thread that told me to install these in this order:
1. TalkProvider.apk
2. GTalkService.apk
3. Talk.apk
but none of them worked... they wouldnt even install... it just kept saying install failed...so I found another thread with the 2.2 gtalk and it installed...but Im still getting the error...
I have been getting several other errors, like htc.bgp force close (or some thing like that) as well as com.android.phone force close...
So should I just do a NAND restore or should I do a factory reset instead? OR should I run the RUU and start over to root...??
I am at wits end here and am not getting anywhere with searching...
TIA

I would start with a NAND restore. (Hopefully you have one from before the problem started)
If that doesn't fix it, do a factory reset.
If that doesn't fix it, Factory reset and instal a custom ROM (Sprint Lovers is very close to stock if that's what you like)
I don't think running an RUU is necessary. Once you obtain full Root, you should be able to fix any problem with .apk's or programs on the phone.

Thanks for the input, I was beginning to think I was invisible... lol... I will try that and see what happens...

Well, I went ahead and tried one more thing before I did what you said to do and I think it worked... I went into my EVO while in Disk Drive mode and I cut my entire Titanium Backup folder out of the phone and copied it onto my Desk top. Then I went into my OLD EVO files from the end of the year and I copied the latest folder into my phone. I then went to Charge only, clicked TB and refreshed the app list... Then I was left with a ton of apps that were not installed on my phone. I then went thru each one and restored the ones that were still installed and deleted the ones that were not... (except for the stock apps that came with the phone), so far so good... I will test it more tonight and see whats up, have not gotten any force closes since I finished...
One thing I would like to know tho - where can I get the stock dialer.apk
Some how it got deleted off my new EVO and when I try to load up one of the htc.dialer.apk from my old EVO - the new one does not recognize it... I am currently useing "dialer one" from the market - but I would prefere to make my NAND back up of the Official stock ROM with all the stock apps...any ideas?
EDIT: Okay, fixed the com.google.process.apps issue but did not fix the other force closes... I guess I will have to try the steps above - and worse case - ill just run the RUU and start all over...

I had this problem once and it was related to a widget I downloaded that retrieved missed calls. Don't know if that helps.

But thats the thing - I didnt download anything - I restored two apps, one was opera mini with data and the other was spareparts... then I lost my htc dialer - so I installed Dialer one from the market... I dunno Im just gonna have to do the stpes above and if they dont work - Ill just wipe and run RUU and reroot... no biggie...

Okay I did a NAND restore... then I went thru and set up ALL my apps and settings again and then I did a fresh NAND Backup with clockwork first AND then Amon_Ra... all seemed well except, after I did the Clockwork Backup... I was getting "com.smithmicro.DM has stopped unexpectedly" so searched and read a little and it seemed to have some thing to do with the PRL/Profile updater... so i went into the settings and opened the app manager and cleared the "data" in com.smithmicro.DM and then I restarted the phone and that seemed to fix it... thanks for all the help...

this same thing happened to me yesterday when i was trying to download stuff from xposed, it said downloading error 504. i didnt do anything with my phone like the guides tell u. they say delete cache and data and etc from play store app in app manager. i didnt do that.
this is what i done- i disabled mobile data as i was using wifi but i generally just keep it on just incase . then i fully turned off my router and then switched it back on. then i made my phone forget my wifi and then i set it up again. then everything was fine and all was back to normal. i heard this happens sometimes, dont do any big steps just be patient and it will sort out with time, as its a gateway error and nothing u or the service can do about it- i know this according to what ive already read. :good:

ok, thanks nayanwaghmare, but my problem is a little diferent, I can download, apks, from any source, but when I reach the screen where you see the permissions an the options to cancel or install, the button for.installing does nothing, only the cancel or back work, only the play store has no problem, as it installs automatically, I dont know what to do

reflash your rom i would say

I will try that , thanks

Do you have any screen overlay app running, like screen filter or lux? You need to disable those to be able to click the "install" button -- this is a security feature in android.

thank you very much!!!! I just solved the issue, thank you very very much man,

[Q] Issue with Play store on s5 Active!!!

Hi Guys
I have no idea what has happened to my partners s5 actives playstore app...
Say "check your internet connection and try again"
She did a back up with titanium and the it rebooted half way through but when she restarted the phone it had lost playstore and play store services... Managed to find the apps and reinstall them but now have the above error at one point it was "error retrieving from server [RPC:S-7:AEC-0 UD3P-GKBS-RGDFC" but wiped caches etc for all the usual culprits and removed her google account and then rebooted and readded it and now she has the mention "check your internet connection and try again" every thing else is working fine.... But am wondering if the location of the playstore is correct as the app is not in a folder like all other apps are!!!!
any help would be very welcome as pulling what little hair I have left out at the mo...

Sounds like Titanium backup fail corrupted something, or the problem was going to happen anyway,
try flashing the same ROM over the top with ODIN, nothing but root and recovery will be lost if it's a stock ROM

[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.

Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar

I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy

Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
