Market re-download problems since .602? - Droid X General

I think this issue started with .602, but I'm not certain. After wiping the phone (and yes backup was always checked off) my apps once installed from the market do not redownload. Some that were installed dont show up on the web version of the market either. Did something break in the second GB update and was there ever a solution for this?

It had been reported to Google. No fix yet.
See http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17354
Apparently, the app download routine "quietly" crashes in the background, and subsequent apps don't restore.

[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

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?

Yet another OTA question

I can't complete the ota update to gingerbread because I temprooted with visionary+ and used titanium to uninstall some pre-loaded apps. So, I figured if I reinstalled those apps the update should work, right?
I reinstalled the apps I got rid of except web2go. I found the web2goshortcut.apk and tried to reinstall it but it needs the odex as well. I've searched google for the odex and I can't find it anywhere.
My questions are, will what I'm doing even work and if so does anyone have the web2goshortcut.odex I could snag?
I know I could just factory reset but I'd like to avoid that if I can.
Thanks in advance.
Don't think it has anything to do with the apps you uninstalled. Might have something to do with being temp rooted. Have you tried to uninstall visionary, reboot, and then run update?

Sorry about putting this in the wrong forum.
My phone isn't currently temprooted, I only did that when uninstalling the apps and then I unrooted.
The reason the ota is failing is because I'm getting a status 7 when it tries to update web2go because the app isn't there.
You'll have to put back stock Froyo to get past the error due to removed app and apply the OTA update.
However, if you had used temproot to disable apps only instead of removing them, the OTA updated would've succeeded AND the disabled apps would remain disabled, the setting is retained. So oddly, there's no advantage to removal vs disable except a small space savings, but a real disadvantage to full removal.

In retrospect I realize that removing the apps was a bad idea.
So it sounds like you guys are saying reinstalling the apps I removed won't work? If so I'll probably just root my phone instead of getting it back to stock.
Shouldn't matter whether you reinstall missing apps generating errors or the entire OEM ROM. I'd just do whichever is easier. Well, if you replace apps the OTA update will leave all settings, apps etc. as is so there's that to consider.
Thing is for the OTA update to 'think' you have stock Froyo. How you do that is up to you.
From HTC G2 with xda premium.
Wouldn't you have to install those apps back to the system folder? If you delete them, then install from the market, you are turning system apps into user apps... right guys?
He could use the update from the store sd cards, but that would lose all data. Double check that, sorry but I forgot how to fix stock problems a long time ago.

Official Marketplace Myapps isn't showing anything.

I'm not sure how it happened, but the official Google marketplace just doesn't work anymore.
On Bell Atrix, 2.3.6, Stock.
The Marketplace loads up fine, by when I go into my apps it just doesn't list anything. Not my installed apps, not my purchases, nothing. I can download apps just fine, but nothing then gets linked to my apps.
I have tried my account on 2 other devices(galaxy nexus and asus transformer), and it works fine. I have also tried someone else's account on my phone and that works.
I have tried a factory reset, and it the marketplace v2.3.6 works for the first login. But after it just gives the following error.
"A server error has occurred. retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen"
Retry just loops the error, with no success, and cancel just returns me to the marketplace's main page
After the marketplace updates, when I go to my apps I just get a generic white page w/my google account and 2 buttons to go to either the game or apps section.
This site lists the exact same issue I'm having. No fixes though =/

Try erasing market's cache, or using a different market version.

I have the same issue. Nothing worked for me soo far... The only think you can do is to install cm7, cm9 or miui. It works on these roms just fine.

I was hoping to avoid that. Blasphemy, I know, but I like being on stock.
Have you tried returning to stock, and seeing if it works?

Yeah went back to stoc using sbf and that did not work. My 1st though was that titanium backup messed up my links or something then I saw that other people has the same problem... Wierd

I emailed Android Market Support on friday when it started. They emailed back asking for more information pretty quickly.
However, I haven't heard anything, since responding to the initial email.
https://support.google.com/androidmarket/bin/request.py?contact_type=market_phone_tablet_web
Try submitting a request. It might not account to anything, but it may make them realize others are having the issue also
Try erasing market cache and then deleting /data/data/com.android.vending/databases/market_assets.db with some file manager. After rebooting market should work properly(but you may need instal something or restore links using TiBu) at least for while
EDIT: I have this error from ca. 1,5-2 months, reported it and google did exactly nothing about this issue
Ok, this has worked for me so far. My fingers are crossed that it'll be a permanent fix.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458670
1) Go to Market Tools -> Market Doctor and Unlink all User & System apps.
2) Reboot device.
3) Open any Root Explorer or Browser and locate and delete the file "market_assets.db" in "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases".
4) Reboot device.
5) Go to TB Pro and to Market Tools -> Market Doctor -> User Apps and link all the User Apps that you installed on your device from the Android Market. Make sure that no System App is linked.
6) Reboot device.
7) Install a free app
Looks like that was only a temp fix, because the issue came right back this morning....

Apps Update atleast Thrice

Hi All,
So I'm facing this weird issue, where my app updates from the Google Play Store don't seem to stick.
I started having this problem when I was using LOS, and I thought maybe the ROM was the issue. But then, I switched to OOS, same thing.
An app will update and play store will show all apps updated. Then after a few hours the app will update again, and then once more. Usually the update sticks after the third update.
Also, even though I haven't kept a log, but it doesn't seem specific to some apps, it appears to be the case with all apps.
I use Magisk for Titanium Backup. But nothing else.
Also, I thought this was an issue with apps restored with Titanium Backup, but that isn't the case.
PS: I haven't tried without Magisk, as I wouldn't want to use the phone without that.
Any ideas?

Currently using Magisk on OOS and I do not have this issue, so root isn't the issue. I think it may have to do with the play store itself, as it doesn't seem to actually update the apps until the third time like you said. The only two solutions I can come up with are as followed:
1. Hold down on the play store app and clear the data on it and then disable the app (Make sure the option to go back to the factory version comes up after you press disable) and then re-enable the app again. Open it and see what happens afterwards. The idea is to get the play store to re-update itself and fix the issue.
2. Get on a computer and fastboot flash OOS again and see if it persists after you get your phone set up again.
