Can't access Market

Hey all,
I've been trying to search for this issue but couldn't find and answer so I decided to post it here.
About a month ago I decided to install the CyanogenMod4.0.4 ROM on my G1. I remember I was able to access the Market because I downloaded so apps onto my phone, but over the last 2 weeks, I can't get it running anymore. Everytime I go to open it, I get the 'force close' message. I've tried turning my phone off and on to see if that cured it but I still get the same message. I also noticed one of my apps doesn't work at all anymore (Shazam) which makes me wonder if I might of accidentally changed a setting somewhere which is not letting it work. I had downloaded a few apps from the market when it did work and some apps work properly and others don't. I hope this doesn't have anything to do with the ROM because I really like it and want to keep it installed...
any answers would be great, thanks

have you tried running fix_permissions? that usually clears up a lot of problems.

no, I haven't tried that yet. I don't know how to run that. Where do I go to do that?

well, I figured out how to do fix_permissions
I ran it, rebooted my phone, but I still have the same issue. My Market doesn't open.
i guess I'm going to have to just simply re-install the ROM?
I know there's a new one out so I might just do that, but I'm hoping that I don't continue to have this problem when I update

You could always re install 4.0.4 again, that should repair the market and it should just upgrade so all your settings will still be there.... have you got the CM recovery bootloader installed? if not, do that firts, its a life saver.

No, I don't have the CM bootloader, so I'll have to get it and I'll try that. Thanks!

[BUG] Market Apps failing to download after root.

Just started to have issues downloading apps from the market. Im on any connection and im connected to the internet but they fail right away with this message "Download Unsuccessful" ..........rooted too. Any Ideas?
*Edit*
I need some others to check this out
Last night I reset to factory defaults and after 1-2 downloads from the market everything after I tried to download fails, rooted. Then I flashed the stock firmware downloaded a couple apps no problem, rooted, couple more downloaded then FAIL! Not able to download until I do a factory reset, even than I can only get 1- maybe 2 downloaded.

I'm having trouble as well. I'm rooted, I posted yesterday but nobody replied. Can somebody out hedre try and install fring?

Rooted. And no problems.

Are you signed into Talk for authentication?

I had similar problem on my EVO yesterday as well.. So i don't think it's a phone issue...
-CC

I did a reset back to stock pulled down a couple apps then dead after that...CAn anyone pull apps off the market right now?

I was having major problems with apps, then I did a cache wipe and factory reset. Problem solved.
I was also restoring apps from mybackup pro, which may have caused the issue. The apps were backuped from my evo and restored on the epic.

Its a apk I removed just don't know which one :/

I take that back...I lost market functionality again and have not removed any files only rooted AM i the only one experiencing this?

I rooted (using the older line by line instructions, not the single automatic script) and have not had any problems with the market.

i rooted with the one click script and have been downloading apps with no problem, downloaded an update to gps status tonight on 3g and barcode scanner over wifi tonight.

Im having the same issue, I rooted so i can do free wifi tethering (hotspot) and now i cant even download the ****ing app to do so.....

[Q] Market Apps Persistently Unlinked After Root

Sorry if this is in the wrong place. This is the first time I've posted.
I recently rooted my Epic 4g with the instructions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770388
and then used the "update.zip method" to fix Clockwork Recovery found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=782300
Looking back, I suppose that was somewhat redundant, but there is nothing to indicate major system damage to me yet.
However, I am having a rather annoying issue that's causing me a lot of stress. All of my apps have come unlinked from the app market. Titanium Backup's market doctor finds "no recoverable market link" and even after I relink them myself by re-downloading them in the market, they come unlinked in a matter of minutes. It's pretty annoying and I'm eager for a fix.
What would cause this behavior? Did I **** something up in the rooting process? Is there anyone else out there experiencing this? I will be so greatful to anyone who can help me solve this problem.
I'm beginning to regret that I rooted my phone in the first place, which is kind of pathetic. What did I do wrong?

If you are on any rom try reflashing it after wiping system data through clockwork if that doesn't work then try using odin. If the problem still persists your FINAL option is to take it to the sprint store
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

I unrooted the phone after I ran into big slowdowns in network speed and overall performance while trying to re-download all my apps for the third time and that fixed both my issues.
Thanks for the response, btw. I'm not running any custom ROM, just Stock 2.1.1, but I assume those options could still work, although It would result in having to download my apps agin, wouldn't it? Also, what would I say if I took it to the Sprint store?
The upshot of all this is that I still have clockwork recovery, so last night I made a backup of my non-root image to revert back to if I have the same problem next time I tempt fate and try the root again. That's how it'd work, right?

Many Apps Saying "Incompatible With Your Device"

Is anyone else having the problem mentioned here after flashing CM7?
one of the main apps i use is the BB&T mobile banking app, but now its no longer compatible with my droid 2.
I have cleared caches, reinstalled CM7 changed market apps, done everything i thought possible and cant download it for some reason.
any help would be awesome if anyone knows anything about this issue.
I have read on other threads about this being a common issue with CM7, which if it is, i may have to revert back to stock 2.3 until its resolved.

DL, install it, hit fix, allow superuser permission, may have to run again if it failed. It will tell you to reboot if it's successful. Hit reboot, find apps, win!

awesome, ty for this

Help, lost market updating Civato mix from c3 to c6.

I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.

I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.

Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.

I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You

go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.

Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You

Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.
