Market issue : "no item can be found"

Hi guys,
seems like I cannot dowload any more app from the market.
Everytime I select one I get a pop-up sayng "not found - no item can be found"
Also all my paid app have gone and on "my downloads" I got nothing listed!
I'm running qtek 1.8 on a magic 32B, but it seems like this is not depending from roms...
Look here : http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=46448518c9a0bebc&hl=en
And here, on the "flash this hero" dream thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=575681&page=65 (page 65 and 67 so far...)
What do you think the problem is depending from?
Have no clue...
Seems like no wiping or formatting sd card is doing...

Don't do any wipe when finish flashing roms.

That's not the case, no wipe after installing

Hey guys,an update: I switched back to an old cyanogen backup and now I got back the abilty to browse the market,buy or download app....but "my downloads" still remains void and it's no more taking track of downloaded or neither new bought app (had a try with a cheap one).
Luckily all my paied app are still recognized as "bought"...
I just wonder what could have happened...
I saw a lot of people having the same problem, would really like to have their feedback too..

double post, sorry

I was previously on the latest Cyanogen ROM with updated Donut style Market before I flashed this Herver 1.1r2. I wonder if it has anything to do with downgrading to the old style market(Cupcake or before)?

I gave up on the hero builds since both Herver and King's build gave me this market error. I flashed to Cyanogen's latest 4.2.1 and the market is working perfectly now.
Edit: Oh forgot to mention that my downloads list shows the apps that I've downloaded previously.

LOL...I did the same thing, however 4.2.2 came out tonight. Flashed it and running way faster than the fastest hero rom. Market works perfect and all downloads show even though they are not even installed yet. Perfect.....thanks Cyanogen......Heros UI is cool as hell, but not quite there yet.

So you confirm that "my downloads" is getting back to work?
I just got back to a backup...maybe I have to try a fresh new install and see what happens...
Did you manage to make my downloads working just through a backup or you did a brand new install?

I'm pretty sure its to do with many of the hero roms don't have the new market place application.

Ok, gave a try installing cyanogen with a fresh install (repartitioning and wiping) and market got back to its normal status.. with "my downloads" fully working again...
I just wonder what could be the problem with these new hero roms...
On google support forum I've seen people having the same issue even with the official taiwan update... so strange...

I started from scratch to get this to work, but did not try to even go the backup route as I felt it would be wasted time.
I formatted SD card and repartitioned with 128MB swap(which i not used in this ROM), a 512MB ext2 and the rest FAT32. By the way this is on a 2GB stock SD card.
After that I wiped the device and installed the ROM following the "install from scratch" methods, reflashing SPL and Radio, rebooting to recovery, then flashing the 4.2.2 ROM. Everything on my phone works like a champ. All apps show up and downloads appeared even when not installed yet.

I haven't updated my rom in weeks and weeks... 3 days ago i got this error and nothing is working. I'm not really wanting to change roms as i finally have my whole phone setup jussst like i want it. I'm on the my hero 1.1.8 i think. what the fups going on ? =(

I had the same issue too.
This is how I solved it:
1. Clean cache for Google Apps in Settings>Apps>Manage
2. Try to enter Market, it will ask you for a Google Account, create a new one.
3. Check that with the new account that apps are there again.
4. Clean Google Apps cache again.
5. Try to enter Market, when it asks for a Goggle Account enter your "usual" account.
6. Now Market should work fine.

Thanks! I am able to install new apps again. "My downloads" is still empty though.

said it too fast...it's not working again =(

Ok, can try this too. Do a wipe and flash to another rom (normal cupcake or donut), go into Market and make sure everything is there (might take some time for it to sync). Do a wipe again and flash the Sense rom.
Once the phone boots up, DO NOT log into Google Account using wifi. Skip the initial intro part and go key in your APN settings. Then launch Market and sign into Google from there.
It worked for me and fingers crossed that it will go smoothly from here.

Hey guys, any news on this problem?
I didn't flash any other sense based rom since then... Do you know if newer roms solved the problem once and for all?

[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...

Market Problem

I have struggled for a couple of days now trying to fix my market problem but still no luck.
When ever I try to update or download an app it gets aborted after just a sec. So I can't update any of my apps or download new ones.
I have tried this already:
Wipe market data both in settings and with SGS tools
Titanium market doctor
Flashed JM8 from scratch with dalvik wipe and factory reset then Doc's 9.6.6 (work on non of fthem
Tried Appbrain (but not fast web installer) nedd an .apk for it)
Don't now what more I could do now
Any ideas? Anyone else having problems the latest days? Maybe a Market problem!?
I'm now on Doc's 9.6.6 with Spedmood K13C 500hz (Got the problem after I tried the 2.3.2 leak).

Reboot recovery and clear dalvik and reboot

Thats very strange, never heard of this before. I can only suggesst that you try flashing a different ROM like Darkys 9.3 final....Might not be any use

Now I also tried first flash JM8 with 512 and repartition.
And the flash one more time without repartition.
But still no downloads possible on market. "Download unsuccesful"

i got the same problem like 2-3 days now.#
any help pls. I did wipe dalvic, tryd another rom, used another market version , used another gmail account.. and so on.

Every time I downloaded or upgrade something, there was a download icon shown on notification shortly and disappeared. The download never finished! Reckon some of you encounter this as well.
But last night, I suddenly realised that there may be problems with my cache.rfs as I could not lagfix it to ext4 or any other form. I started to think cache.rfs is broken. So I searched on the Internet and found out a kernel (k12K) only have cache.rfs, instead of zImage. My market has survived right after installation and reboot! Brilliant! Then I install newer version of kernal with zImage and still working. The kernel name is update_SpeedMod_K12k_500Hz.tar. If you have same condition and problem with market, try it! I am not exactly remember where I downloaded this kernel from, and cannot post link cos this is my first post. But hopefully you can find it somewhere.
Good luck to your market!
My device: Samsung i9000
Android:2.2.1
ROM:I9000XXJPY
Kernel:2.6.32.9 [email protected]

You are my hero!!! My market works!!!

Play Store problems!

My Play store suddenly stop to download. I use Kyrillos 9.6 rom from 2 weeks and i hasn`t problems before.
But now it`s opening normal, but images are missing and i can`t download nothing. Just says "downloading..." and nothing more...
I try to clear Play store /cache/data. without succsess. Cleared davlink Cache, CACHE, I reflashed the rom, but same again. Even i uninstalled my current version 3.8.17 and reinstalled again , again without succsess.
I don`t know what is the reason for that, but it`s a very irritrating.
My sister play store works on Galaxy TAB and there is no problems with play store.
Sooo if you have a idea what cause that problem please share

Re-flash the ROM, then remove "/system/app/MarketUpdater.apk (not sure if it's named like this or not)" with Root Explorer. This will disable the Market updater.

same again
i`m sick to reflashing the rom, i will hardbrick my phone if i continue in the same way.
Ok. I reflash the rom, and deleted Market Updater.apk. After that started the Play Store. But before it ask me upgrade to new market.
I click ok. AND guess the same again
I don`t know what is the reason but it is a very strange. Reflash dont help???? WTF
maybe i should change my phone.

Well if you have the money you should upgrade your phone. Also, flashing ROMs wont brick your phone as long as the ROM doesn't have the bootloader file. Custom ROMs don't have bootloaders so it is safe to flash.
Click the thanks button on my posts if I helped!

Finally Solved!
Ok, i solved the problem.
1. Reflash the ROM
2. Delete Market Updater.apk (look Jason-EX post)
3. CWM Recovery, clear the Cache
4. Install old/new market updater from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
5. Select which market to use: OLD or NEW ( I use OLD market 2.3.5, and it is a very fast and smooth without lags compared with google play)
6. Reboot
Enjoy !

[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.
