Rooted phone like a charm.
Only thing is I cannot download from Android Market.
It stalls at "starting download".
I have tried following suggested remedies:
1. Log into G-Talk (cannot do it just idles at logging and never really logs in)
2. Backed up Market.apk and uninstalled updates and cleared cache thorugh settings-manage apps and re-installed Market again but no avail.
I am loosing it!!!
I read Paul from Modaco has a linux script to enter via adb that fixest the problem..
It reads to fix Market issues, here we goes http://bit.ly/cUTISr
"TRY at your own risk..
I hope it works for you good luck..
Don't know if this will help but do you have the latest busybox installed?
Feeling Vibrant on xda-app
Im rooted with no Market place issues.
I have strange market issues, but it seems more related to WiFi than it does to anything else. I have no problem connecting to the market via E/3G, but the second I turn on WiFi all my market downloads stall out, and I can no longer access GTalk, or Google Voice Search.
Didnt have the problem before root, or on any other rooted Android device.
Both before and after root, I've had market issues over wifi with needing to start downloads a couple times every once in a while.
No issues before/after root with market on 3G
I'm rooted as well with no real issues. I'll get a random force close from time to time, but I was getting that as well before I rooted. I just think it's a Market/Google issue, and not so much that the phone is rooted.

I've had my phone rooted since it came out of the box, have had no issues.
I recommend doing a wipe on the phone and starting from scratch.
I have tried Modaco thing it didnt fix it.
I cant seem to get to do with busybox either, likely as I am novice.
I think my problem was that I just plain deleted pre-loaded apps through android mate app to which i granted superuser access.
My redneck solution now is to take out the sim card put it back into my old my-touch 3g, access market, install app, back it up, transfer apk file over to PC and then from there into back-up folder in Vibrant and install it from there using astro. Desperate...
How do I wipe the the whole thing and start from scratch? Do I back up the whole ROM on formated sd card and then wipe and back up again from that sd card? I have never done that before. Wouldn't I just back up the whole faulty system again?
I've been having the same problem with no fix so far.
The guy who put up this solution seems to know what's going on: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=711660&page=2
The only problem is that finding a friend with a Galaxy is going to be hard. If anyone is happy to post the dumps depending on requests, that would be greatly appreciated.
I also have a similar problem, but the the downloads start and complete, it just LAGS like no ones business (~15-30 seconds in between hitting install, and when the next "okay" windows comes up.....till then I am staring at 2 grey bars and the white application background w/ nothing on it, and no loading happening. Are these related?
Thanks!
Market root or non root fix.
I had the same exact problem like you guys.
Seems that the market it self and the "download manager" included in the market use individual settings to access the network.
I got this problem after i used wifi only to connect to the market. Downloaded whatever i needed.
Turned wifi off, turned off flight mode so i could connect to 3g.
Open the market back again, tried to download something else and always would get stuck at "downloading". Funny thing i could browse any apps in the market but downloading would do nothing.
Here's the fix:
Close market completely, either using a task killer or reboot your phone.
With wifi mode off and flight mode turn on, open the market app.
It wont do anything of course.
Close the market (don't have to kill app)
Turn off the flight mode, this will turn 3G back on.
Go back to your market and try downloading something.
It should work.
Feel like it's an issue with the market app more then anything related with root or non root being done.
Let me know if this works for you 2.
Unfortunately the above fix did nothing for me.
Thanks for the suggestion though.
having the same problem with my galaxy s, any help would be really nice
cheers

Rooted:
open titanium backup
select the market
wipe data, twice if you want to
still in TB, go menu > more > market doctor
fix the missing links, if any.
go to market, accept the terms
go download an app
work?
This almost always fixes my market issues, if not... reboot and try another data (3g/wifi)
I finally found a way to fix my market as nothing else was working to fix it, I would post a link but I can't copy and paste the link but if you search for my post called market issue fixed (possibly) then follow that and see how you get on

This should be a sticky somewhere. I have been trying to find this solution. It worked perfect for me! Thanks
Awesome man, glad that it helped! Anyone else notice this fix it?
My droid has been trying to update since I bought it several days ago. When I go to Settings > About Phone > System Updates, it says:
"An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete." A downloading icon is no longer showing.
After days of this, on both wifi and 3g, it's clearly not downloading.
Originally, I switched from 3g to wifi in the middle of the download. And from what I've googled, that's what did it. I've found several reports of this problem but no solutions.
The Droid is rooted.
I've found that fota downloads updates. I've tried looking for fota data, and any other filename that might suggest a partial download. I believe there's a partial download somewhere and that is causing the system to believe an update is being downloaded? I tried booting without the SD card to see if data on the SD card is causing this to happen. And I received the same downloading message above without the SD card in place.
Any ideas?
ive been having the same problem, id really like a solution!
Same here...
I have also been having this issue, but with applications in the market... I noticed that the .apk file does download to my sdcard/downloads folder and I can manually install it, but I don't want to do that every time I install/update an app. It doesn't happen every time, but very frequently. Thanks to anyone that can help!
Fixed it by clearing the data for the market.

Hi everyone,
I'm positing because I have a peculiar issue. I cannot download from the Android Market....and I have tried the solutions on the internet from clearing data/cache to trying to sync my google account in different ways...
Here is the background:
- Bought used Vibrant on craigslist
- rooted, unlocked, then unrooted, then hard reset
- no external SD card
After every hard reset, in two instances now, I have been able to download from Android market SUCCESFULLY for about a ~30 min window. After this time window, any download from Market does NOT work, and after clicking 'Install' immediately goes to the red triangle status 'Download unsuccessful.'
At all times, my internet still works fine, both on 2G/3G/wifi.
Android market website does NOT show my device (is this because the device only works with the very first sync when the phone was purchased??)
Something is locking me out from downloading. It's come to such a stupid workaround that since I know Market WILL work after a hard reset, I do a mass download of my app essentials in the ~30 minutes that I have.
Thanks for any help in advance!
Clear market cache
also, setting proper permissions on /data/ and /data/app might help (with a program like root explorer)
Do you use titanium backup? Restoring any setting? I got similar problem when I freeze "media container" in titanium backup.
Had this problem when z4mod was setting incorrect permissions on /system partition
All,
To avoid the issues with any roms/rooting, I unrooted the phone, as stated in the first post.
I basically got the phone back to 'stock' settings, and I have this issue. Any additional help would be great...this is my first experience with Android and it has only been headaches....
getting nostalgic with my old E71. haha
So, did you use odin to go to jfd?
I'm really interested and willing to help, just santo make sure I understand everything that you've done.
How did you root?
Why no external?
I wanted to back up my nook using rom manager today, it said it needed to downloaded something in order to backup, did the download and proceeded to backup. Now when I go to read my book I get "process com.mantano.reader.android has stopped unexpectedly". I have repeatedly tried to open books and keep getting that message. I did a restore from the backup I just did, tried uninstalling and reinstalling, also tried something in rom manager that said it could help with force closes (I get an error near the end with that).
Also will not show all my pictures in the image viewer, but I can view them when I go into "my files"
Ok, this is gonna sound stupid now, but think I figured out the problem. I forget where I saw it but something said my SD card was full. I deleted my two backups that I had in rom manager and guess what? Everything works fine.....
Just Rooted New Color according to Manual Nooter, All went well but did not see but a few apps on the store, so I followed other directions on page to show all apps, restarted and now getting a Server Error message on the Play Store Page, will not connect, checked settings and could not find anything in that, I cleared Cache and Data on Google Framwork and on Market Like was told to do.. Not sure..
Also on a side not, I have a perfectly rooted Tablet and does not keep bringing up CWM evertime I turn on and off, Would you please also help Mount that on the Color so that I may Unmount the SD card without starting over..
Thank you much for the help.. Will give a boost in Rep..
Also if you could point me to a few other pages needed to root and change settings to what I may need to do and read.. Again thank you..
I guess the Question to ask, Should I have a whole list of Apps on the Play store too?? Or a very very Limited number of apps.. I'm guessing a total of about `15` Pretty sad if that's what I'm looking forward to.
Nevermind, This post can be deleted, I figured it out..
Well? What was it?
