Purchased apps reinstall -> 404 error (JF1.51 ADP1)

Hi
I'm running a modified version of the JF1.51 ADP1 ROM and I'm having troubles downloading already bought apps.
The only apps I could download are the last 2 bought apps.
I viewed the logcat when trying to download:
Code:
I/vending ( 393): com.android.vending.AssetDownloader.startDownload(): Download request row inserted at content://downloads/download/9
D/DownloadManager( 246): http error 404 for download 9
The Market is showing:
"Authorizing credit card..."
"Downloading..."
"Download unsuccessful"
If I buy a new app I have no problems, but the ones already bought won't install.
I first encountered this problem about a month ago when I couldn't update an app, even though the market version was higher the the installed one.
I recently tried the superhero v2 rom and THERE I could install every app. Now after switching back to the JF build... yeah, you get it.
Anyone has any idea what problem I'm running into and how to solve it?
Thanks.

Update:
I wiped everything and installed jf1.51 adp1 (not modded). There i could download the paid apps. But some are really old versions. For example Robo Defense is 0.7.1 and the actual version in the market is 1.0.5 and in the 0.7.1 version i can't play, it crashes every time.
Please, someone have to know what problem I'm having.
Thanks

help cant install apk files anymore

plz help
I have an rooted x10a(r23) and Iv been installing apk files by transferring them to my sd card.
Iv been using Astor to install them. Also i have non market apps checked in my settings.
Today i tried to install an apk file using Astro, but it wouldn't let me. it just goes back to an blank screen and then back to the install screen.
Does any one know how to fix this?

Happened to me after I rooted my phone. But not immediately after rooting.I removed all the unnecessary apps and stopped all the third party services using startup cleaner, dunno if that did it, but I am able to install apks again.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

also the same problem x10i R23, rooted one week ago. Till yesterday it was no problem to install apk files. Since today it is not possible!

interesting. this same thing happened to me before i rooted. after i rooted i was able to install any app.

Try checking the install from unknown sources option in the settings.

This point is selected but since today it is not more possible to install apk files.
Installation only direct from the market is possible.
Maybe a bug in the root???
I replaced the rooted R23 through R2BA0024 (not rooted) and have now no problem to install apk files.

I can install apks fine with my x10a using R23...

I tried what arizhasan said and used startup cleaner, but no luck
This prob has happened to me a few times. The only way iv fixed it was to re-root it again (witch im getting kinda sick of)
any body know how to fix this cause i dont want to ROOT again! :"(

Same problem
After rooting last night I can not install apk files from sdcard. The installer starts but after choosing install the installer just starts againg in an endlesss loop. Works fine using adb install and also from Market.
Any ideas?

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
also there is a rooting issues thread for this...

Same problem here. I cant install apk anymore on my x10 after rooting to r2ba026. Any solution for this?
Ive been searching this issue but cant find it. Or can anyone post a link on xda addressing this issue> Many many thanks!

Look up apps2sd its custom for 2.2 froyo but there is a work around for earlier versions, research lots before you do anything coz you can mess your phone settings if you don't know what your doing.

[Q] problem: apps fail to install from market

hi, i installed mdeejays android version succesfully, however some apps fail to install via market.

i read something about unmounting SD card. i tried that. But still got the problem.
What should i do?
I really want the facebook 1.5.0 app

Do you get an error or do they just stuck on 100% after downloading?

I get an error. But sometimes the download just cancels itself.
however, the main problem is the error. because i could download the apk file via rapidshare etc.
But the problem is the error. the error says after the install bar runs:
Application did not install. (in dutch)
The other problem, with the download cancelling is like this:
when selecting an app for download, the download bar starts running.
But after a few seconds the download bar disappears by itself. so eventually, the app never reaches my phone. in fact the download never completes.
so there are 2 problems. but the first problem is worse than the second.
However, it would be great if you could help me to solve them both.
First problem: i get an error when installing certain apps.
second: My downloads from the market wont complete.
sorry for any weird sentences, english is not my first language.

Kinda glad to know that I'm not the only one with the same problem... still trying to figure out what happened.
I know a clean install will fix the problem but I don't want to go through that again...
My phone is a Motorola Milestone running CM6 10.12.22

i just did a clean install from the latest android out there (darkstone superram 0.1) with the dutch vodafone data mod and i cannot download a single byte from the market. the market itself works fine over wifi or G3, but all files refuse to download.
thing that sucks as well is that i have the apk for applanet on the sd card but a cannot get to it as the darkstone lacks a sd card explorer app....

When that happened to me, Market reported an error -18. An online search recommended deleting a hidden directory ".android_secure" on the SD card. I'm running CM6.1 on a CDMA Hero with most of my apps running from the SD. From what I found online, that secure stuff is for Froyo apps2sd... which is why some apps downloaded and installed okay, and why some apps downloaded, but failed to install.
You can also try some cache dumps including Dalvik. Run "Fix Permissions" in ROM Manager. Then try the downloads again. If that still doesn't work, you might want to delete the ".android_secure" hidden directory.
Make sure to do a Nand backup and copy the contents of the SD card onto your computer before attempting any fix. Play it safe.
Good luck.

It's a waste of time loading this onto the A7, no market app the only thing i see change is the ability to run the default browser in full mode other than tht nothing else work for me as i type this i am loading dexter mod back to my tablet.. ..hope dexter can make this usable..

Hey bestialbub, Also did the new update + your gapps update. Everything I used from market works great. One game "Crazy Snowboard" seems to have a ornamentation problem but I think that its a app problem because "Penguin Skiing" , a similar game, works fine. This Gapps update is a great alternative for people who want or need the OFW firmware updates from Elocity but don't want to wait for Dexter to update his mod's. Great work!!! I will be ending you a donation.
Recommendation for "gapps update:
Adding a backup and restore app like "Titanium Backup" as part of the gapps update so I don't have to reinstall from market every time I do a an update.
Recommendation for "Elocity updates:
Elocity needs to fix the way the sdcard is mounted. Sd card should be more compliant with android 2.2 standards. Right now system backups and apps are stored in "storage" folder. OFW updates and "wipe/data factory resets" reformat/destroys all data on that partition and there is no system option to backup to the sdcard (ie., sdcard-disk0.) This is a problem when you are providing all these OFW updates. I have to use a market(not included) provided app to backup my app and another app to move the folders from "storage" to sdcard. That makes no sense.

For some reason i dont have adobe flash and Asphalt 5 still cannot load these two option alone for me make me revert back to dexter mod...
just got off the phone with elocity and mention my gripe with this firmware
i mention to them about dexter and bestialbub who is helping us elocity owners, they guy there say only appoke a gapps apps will work with their firmware...

i believe i did see adobe flash listed in market for update/installation, which is going to be more updated than what would come preinstalled. otherwise i'll check to see if inserting gapps into the system image causes any initial setup problems, as the preinstalled adobe flash is installed on first boot, i think even to the user data partition, so this shouldnt be an issue.
all other non gapps issues are likely rom specific and still awaiting my inspection. recovery is next on the list.
regarding manufacture support or statement against software not supplied by them; they obviously wont support it. most manufactures would even recommend against it; except these new tablet manufacturers are skirting support and linking directly to xda forums for support; so they cant straight nay say solutions promoted here. they cant endorse them either.

I downloaded and installed flash 10.2 from market without any problems. Tested the installed version here http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. "Asphalt 5" seems a little complicated to install right now but looks like a nice game. I might try it myself if I can get the files together.

After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM
Hello folks,
After Firmware Update - Version 2.0134- NO PINCH TO ZOOM, instead I have a useless handwriting option? Does anyone know how I can get my pinch to zoom working again?
Thanks

Engle Mars CM 10.2 08.23 rom

I have installed this rom but i have some problems with it.
1, I cant change the baseband, when i selected the phone reboots, but nothing change it stays on brazil baseband
2, I cant download all apps from google play like facebook, messenger, google search
3, I dont have ota updater application
This bugs are known?
If someone know how to fix these problems (the baseband selector and play market which is the most important) please tell me
Thanks for everyone in advance

Hi!
I have exactly all the same problems as you .
For 1) I fixed it manually from the shell, using the following commands:
Code:
mount -o remount,rw /system
cd /system/etc/motorola/bp_nvm_default
unzip ../basebands/europe/uk_234.zip
(select your favorite baseband file from the directory structure in basebands dir)
For 2) I don't have a solution, the problem is on the Google side, their server resets the connection unexpectedly when trying to download these apps. It seems that it doesn't like something on the request, but I don't know, what's wrong.
For 3) Just download the OTA updater from the Play Store, it's the classic one. However, it will suggest to downgrade to the latest CM10.1 . I hope it will be fixed when a new release of 10.2 appears.
Regards, Pavel

Hy!
There's an update so i dont have to do this method for baseband (see developer forum)
For Google Play, i realised that, it's random which app i can't download...(so now i tried to download instagram and now it worked... and lots of apps i can download which i cant download it yet... but there are lots of app that i cant download at all... like facebook etc..)
And yes i have tried downloading ota... and its not works...
But thank you for your solution

I have an issue, similar to your #2, just flashed czechop's CM10.2 rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451742 , and some apps become "incompatible" with my Milestone 2, e.g. Bank of America, Google goggle, etc. It's not due to 4.3 because my Nexus 4 with 4.3 is compatible to those apps. Anyone has any idea? Thank you in advance.

I think you have some things in the hosts file from the great wall of china. I used engle mars rom before and i had a lot of problems for this reason. Now i?m using czcechop rom and it works fine without problems. What about doing some wipes or formatting to ext-4?
Do a nandroid backup first of course.
Greetings

Thanks. Before I flashed czcechop's rom, i don't have this issue. Based on the past few hours, his rom seems more stable than Engle Mars. But currently I suffer this incompatible problem.

hey guys i want to install this rom, but im worried about sms, will i be able to send and receive sms messages normally or is there some problem with it? is it easy to fix it? if so can someone help me?
thanks a lot :good:

ok nvm, just installed it, and its working fine, i did wipe data/factory reset, after installation. as i read in the other thread here :victory:

I have the same problem. tried all the methods described on the forum - not running SMS ((( and I got the general impression of a slow work. I compare with CM10.0
