Android Market Issue w/rooted Vibrant

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?

UNIQUE market problem (not just paranoia)

Long story short, i accidentally formatted my sd yesterday, which sucked, but i had an sd backup from when i had my cliq that still had the majority of my apps...so i performed my titanium restore but ONLY third party apps (cliq is 1.5, vibrant is 2.1...duh).
Ever since that, whenever i try to download from the market i get stuck at "starting download"....no one else i know who uses android is having this problem today.....so i went ahead and started new seperate google account just to test, and everything on that account downloads fine. WHATS UP WITH THAT?? on my regular i tried deleting cache and data but it didnt work (and yes, gmail and gtalk are open)
anyone have any ideas for me?

ACTUALLY if you read both posts, they are completely different. the Q&A post was to see if anyone else is having this issue....then once i determined that my issue is unique, i posted this seperate explanation and events leading up to my problem. each post had a different purpose and goal, but thanks for your wonderful and helpful input....oh, and of course, your investigative efforts, they should DEFINATELY make you a moderator!!!!!!

menu settings, show all, go to market and clear cache/data
go to titanium backup, menu, more, market doctor.
Reboot.
Should no longer have a problem. This is not UNIQUE

Wait, all the .apk files were on your EXTERNAL sd card? and not in data/apps?
Curious if running fix permissions would work... have you tried that via CWR?

EDIT: this did not work either :\

i see you're running bionix fusion. did you flash the SSL fix provided in the OP? i was having the same issues for days before i realized i didn't do that. for some reason i thought it was included. anyway, hope your issue is as easy to fix as that.

My market issue all downloads disappeared today? I had uninstalled 2.2 version of the market but still same issue.

[Q] Installed CM7 and it's working...a few questions

I am up and running, so I think I did everything right!
However...
Angry Birds won't open. I've installed from Market, from backup, uninstalled, reinstalled, rebooted...any other ideas?
Facebook app is glitchy.
My Nook app is force closing when I try to open a book...I'm thinking maybe I did something wrong...
Is there a way to remove the phone related apps and references?
I do miss the BN Library Shelves...I think I'll get over that though...or attempt a dual-boot.
Overall, it is so different than what I'm used to that it's a bit intimidating...but I'm sticking with it for a while due to all the over-the-top positive reviews here!

Nook app update...I had downloaded a book and it was in the notification list that it had finished...cleared it and the app is working now.

I know that Facebook version 1.5.3 had bugs that caused force closes on MANY devices. They released 1.5.4 last night to correct these issues, but I have not tested the new version myself. Others have said the app works great now. I downgraded to 1.5.2 which works fine, but I will try 1.5.4 later tonight.
Unfortunately I don't know about the other questions you had so hopefully someone else can help you there

Im no expert, but have you fixed permissions in rom manager? thats been known to stop force closes

I tried to fix permissions, but it says I don't have permission to do so...something's not quite right.

Yes, 1.5.3 caused problems for many. So far 1.5.4 works for me without any problems on my Droid X and Nook Color.

How are you showing phone references? You mean the apps?
If you're talking apps, get root explorer, nav. to system/app/
mount r/w, then add the suffix .bak too app phone related apps (doing phone.apk LAST). It doesn't do anything, but helps some people sleep at night.
mms.apk
telephoneprovider?.apk
phone.apk (will cause force closes...just hard shut down and reboot)
Haven't run into any apps that need these (dropbox used to), but good to keep around.

Try moving angry birds from sd card to "phone" if that is where it is located.

Hmmmm... Strange. Have you tried to boot into clockwork and fix permissions there?

Just want to make sure-- you did format your data & cache partition as ext4 right?

I'm not sure about the ext4...is that something different than just formatting through CWM.
Angry Birds is installed on 'phone' and not the SD card.
I did figure out how to remove phone apps, thanks!
We have multiple nooks so I tried Phiremod's on a different one and really liked it. I ended up reflashing this nook to Phiremod and am so far, really pleased...angry birds still won't load, but I guess we can live without it!

power button and home button problem
I just installed the latest cm7.0.2 build, and I found that my home button does not work...
also, the power button only has reboot and poweroff selections, the other selections in cm7.0.0 were lost...
Anyone saw this problem?
I tried to set the home button settings in ADWLauncher->General Behavior->Home button binding, but it does not work...
anyone know how to fix it?
Thanks

I don't have any of those problems. I just flashed 7.0.2 Stable build too.
Did you wipe the Dalvik Cache?
Just a thought.

If Rom Manager doesn't allow you fix permissions, open superuser and make sure it's allowed superuser access.

[Q] Download Unsucesful? Manual Nooter 4.5.6

So.....the main page says that the Download Unsuccesful has been fixed as of 4.5.6.
It's so obviously NOT fixed. I've tried doing the whole SD card thing. I managed to get a few apps downloaded and installed the first day....after that NOTHING will install from the market. It ALL says download unsucessful.
So what am I doing wrong? I don't have a PC that I can install an ADB on at the moment, that'll come in a week or so. But I would like to know what everyone else is doing to keep it working.

Having no problems on two of them here. Try the market visibility fix anyway and make sure that you can connect to google talk (the market needs that).

Tried Google Talk, that worked just fine...and I had already done the Market visablity fix, and that didn't work either.
I just don't get it.

Try rerunning 4.5.6, it sounds as if for some reason the fix didn't take hold.

What happens if I re-root? Would it mess my installed apps or are there any risks?
I already have ROM manager installed on my manual nooted 1.2. Can I boot to CWM from there and re-root?

The odd thi g is now Im getting some apps to install. A winzip type app and ezPDF both installed from the market.
Does it have to do with installing ON the SD card?

What do you mean by installing "ON" the SD Card?

I meant the app being installed ON the SD Card instead of the main memory.

Market Crashing Help pls.

Hello I'm still learning doing this Android on SD on HD2. I'm not too familiar with the computer terms as well. Sorry for that. But my Market keeps updating to this new market 3. something and it crashes when I boot market up. Or if it actually stays open long enough alot of the apps says not compatible with my Phone. I have searched the forums and read about people doing some APK and deleting the auto update. I'm not quite sure that that means or how to do it. Is there anyone that can explain?? Greatly appreciated.
I am using the AmeriCan Android on my HD2 from the SD card method.
Thanks
Mike.

go into settings - application - manage and find the market app entry, click that, then clear cache, and at the top, uninstall updates.
Now, i cant remember how to stop it updating itself, but if uninstalling eth update works, you are on the right track.

I have tried uninstalling a few times, but it keeps updating it self and then crashing. I'm not sure what to do.

now it's work but it appear the lower version of Android Market.
later update itself and crash again ....
help !!!

You may want to booting into recovery, advanced "Fix Permissions" this has been known to solve issues with the market

Hey Michidj00 could you explain how to do that??
Thanks!
