process com.android.vending has stopped unexpectedly

Im getting this error and force close on one of my Heros when I try installing any of my apps on any of the 2.1 roms. Im coming from Fresh 1.1 and following the same procedure I used on my other Hero on which the market is fully functional. Ive wiped everything over and over and cleared data on anything that looked like it at to do with the market. I also tried fix apk mismatches from recovery. Short of RUU which Id like to avoid if at all possible Ive tried everything else I can think of. In searching I have come across this error code on other android phones, but nothing on the hero and nothing specific to trying to install apps. So has anyone else seen this? And would RUU do anything a full data wipe didnt already?

Reading instructions has its benefits grasshopper...
Download the latest recovery and throw it onto your SD Card, boot into the old version of recovery and flash the new recovery as a .zip update, reboot into recovery again and then wipe your phone again, then install android 2.1, don't reboot yet, make sure your rom either has it's own custom kernal or download one for 2.1 and flash it, open up adb and clear dalvik cache and boot cache, then reboot your phone and you should load without any problems.

Thanks. But I did that from the get go. Aside from flashing a kernal, but Im running Darchtrev2 on the fully functional Hero that I mentioned and thats got a custum kernal built into the rom. So thats what I started with on the second one using the exact same process without success. Does wiping from adb do more than wiping from recovery? Thats one other thing I didnt do after the initial install.... But do understand you correctly that you have seen this specific error before?

Just bumpin the tread in hopes of finding a solution. I dont even mind gettin flamed for asking a stupid question if I could get linked up with a fix! lol I see its getting views, just no ideas I guess... It sucks cuz everything else works fine except the market. I get the list of my downloads, when I tap on one to install I the download button instead of the install button, so Ill tap on it and I get get the progress bar saying its downloading. When it gets to 100% I get the error and force close... Anyone?

I would try wiping again then flashing fresh 1.1 see if that boots and everything works ok then I would redownload the recovery and flash that still running fresh then reboot make sure everyhting is cool, then redownload whatever 2.1 rom you want and wipe and flash.
doing this serves 2 purposes
1. make sure that somewhere along the line none of the files corupted
2. if you still have the same problem then it will let you know where the problem is coming from.
just process of elimination
if you still have problems after that then I would say RUU, yes it is different than just wiping from recovery as it restores a completely stock image and gets rid of everything else. all a data wipe really does is get rid of user data.
just my opinion.
honestley thinnking about it I RUU'd my phone just for giggles then I re-rooted and then flashed DCv1 right from stock and I found that a lot of the little bugs that people where seeing I wasnt so it may not be a bad idea to ruu anyways.

Thanks for the reply and for giving me something different to try. I hadnt thought about trying that. Frustration I guess! It makes sense though. Ill give it shot. Thanks!

Why not see why it fc'd?
Adb with logcat of ...vending....
Find the syntax here: http://developer.android.com/search.html
Just an idea. It may or maynot give you the insight to fix the cause ( like a parameter ...vending... is null fetching on ).

Yeah, Ive been thinking about RUU'n too just to see if making a fresh start would make any difference, but after all the time I spent getting the one Hero working like I want on 2.1 and the troubles Ive had with the second and what Ive read about people bricking trying to RUU or flash recovery Ive been kinda hesitant....

Thanks. I dont know that Im quite that knowledgable though. Im sure I could read a logcat... understanding what the hell I would be reading is something else again. Saving the url though in case I need to dig deeper. Thanks for the reply.

Sometimes it's just fun to RUU and do everything again

Alright if you're still having problems then just follow these steps:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up just in case something goes wrong.
Download the latest version of your current 2.1 rom and reflash it from Recovery.
Open up adb and mount the /data directory (adb shell, mount /data)
Enter the following two commands in adb: rm -r /data/boot-cache , rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
Go Back to ADB and type the following commands: cd /data/data/com.android.vending , rm -R cache
Fix UID Mismatches using the tool in Recovery and then reboot your phone

The latest RUU? I used the 1.56..... I did get it working tho. Flashed the mms. fix zip. Just wasn't expecting to have to as I didn't with my other hero. Don't know what the difference is between the two devices. Both are google branded, but the second one fought me every step of the way.

First, sorry for the bump.
I just started getting this error and wanted to know if you figured out exactly what it was so I didn't have to go through that whole RUUing process. Thanks.

don't know if this is your problem, but i know on sushi rom you have to go to manage applications, market, click on it and then click on uninstall updates.. Then apps. will download and install correctly.

I was having the same problem on DC a couple days ago and that fixed it for me. I was reading this thread wondering why no one had mentioned it yet.

Go Back to Damageless?

I installed the new 2.1 Sprint leak using the RUU .exe file, but my apps are not showing up in the Market. Is there a way to go back to Damageless 2.1?

Thats because the RUU has NONE of the fixes that damageless had put in to make things work like they should. Try flashing it.
You need a custom recovery again first, and maybe busybox and some other stuff...

What do you mean try flashing it? I went back into my SD card to try to get Damageless 2.1 again, but it says the update.exe is not verified..

Can you adb shell and do anything?
Does SU work?
just wondering... I haven't tried running the ruu on my phone personally.

it should be an update.zip
not exe
just download his newest ROM. name it update.zip
put it on your sdcard (root location)
boot into recovery (by holding down the home and power button at the same time)
wipe/factory reset
then flash (apply: update.zip)

My phone can not use the Rom Manage

Hello. Please help me. my phone can not use the rom manage. I have used one once, but can not be used again. when I turn on the program, still connected 3g/wifi but nothing more happened at all. I have copied the program into the correct directory. My phone rooted.This phenomenon occurs after I Flast 2.1

What doesnt work? Does it not install? Why are you copying the app at all? Why not install from Market?

I installed the application from Market but I can not use the rom manage.
I don't know!

Rom Manager*
You have to be rooted to use it.

You can't expect people to help you if you don't tell them the problem.
So its installed, did you flash the clockworkmod? Should be the top most option.

Also, did you download it from the market, or did you steal the pro version from online? I am asking because you said "I copied it to the right directory"

Maybe I understand his/her problem. Rooted, installed RM but cannot install Clockwork?
Few options here, search for the standalone update.zip with Clockwork and do it that way OR wait a few hours and try again.
The 1st choice I had to do once because RM wasn't liking my phone and the 2nd choice sometimes the server is down.

First, my phone t959 rom UVJI6 normal. Then my rom to version 2.2 T959UVJFD. I do not feel satisfied so I returned to the Odin 2.1.
My phone has a normal root and fix lag.
but then, I could not manage to use the rom again.
Sorry for my english level is limited. I'm from Vietnam

Yes. this is my problem. How do I do now?
Thanks!

If youre trying to flash another rom you need to disable the lagfix first.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

My assumption is you have OCLF, try removing it then giving it a go.
Google a clockwork update zip that is pushable with ODIN, I found one the other day. I MAY have it still but I am not sure and I honestly have no clue where I found it, wasn't xda I am about 90% sure. It is not really a solid fix but will get you to where you have CWM. Rom Manager will not recognize you have it installed but when you go to enter recovery mode it will enter into CWM.
Did you by chance also flash a custom kernal? When I tested out a few I noticed my phone did the same thing, my knowledge currently doesn't expand far enough to know if they can even be related though. I am still learning a lot myself.

[Q] Wildfire Problem with 2.3 Launcher

Hi all,
I got a Htc Wildfrie for xmas and really like it so far.
I tried to install the 2.3 launcher from the Android Market however and now it wont turn on. It gets to the Htc screen but then it freezes.
I had to restart it as if froze when I selected the 2.3 launcher to perform an action.
Is there a way to boot into a safe mode and uninstall the offending app? Or any other way to get around the problem?
As ever any help is gratefully appreciated.

I had a problem with 2.3 launcher being icons not displayed correctly: too small so it didn't look right.
I deleted program via settings, applications, manage applications....
Instead I installed Launcher Pro. App works well.
Note: I have the stock Froyo Rom installed.

Thanks for the reply but I can't turn on the phone.
Also running stock 2.2

You should flash a RUU and then dl the ota update again.
Although I recommend rooting instead of getting the ota, since you can do a nandroid backup of your rom.
Nvm about root just realised your hboot is the new one

[Q] market is unfortunately stopped on 2.2.1

Hello everyone
I've got a strange problem with the latest 2.2.1. The market is unfortunately stopped if i open him. I've got a replacement but i really want the normal app working. Why happens this and what should i do? Flash it again? Cause things like the clear cache and updates doesn't work.
thanks in advance

Maybe a hard reset, will work?
Joost

1) don't know how to do on 2.2.1
2) i don't think it should work, because it was after the last update and my friend has the same problem

Go in recovery. Wipe user data.

Ehm, maybe this sounds strange but i'm bricking my phone over now.
1) All the apps i instal (not with the market :S), are installing for a long, long time. After a few minutes if i start my phone and look in my launcher, there isn't a sing that the app is installed. And if i look in the settings, i see nothing.
2) The market doesn't work.
3) After i update my phone, my whole recovery was gone. So if i open fastboot or something i see a black screen.
So is there a way to get it reset? HELP ME!!

I think this needs a reflash.
