Market not working - how do I remove downloaded OTA update? - Adam General

I have a problem. I can not get Market to work, even with the market enabler and the latest market mod from the NotionInkHacks forum. I had it working first, then did the OTA and it was still working. But then I did a full factory reset to clear out my Adam (something I always do after a few days with new units, so I can remove the traces of experimenting. And now I can't get Market working again! I have done the unbricking update with the recovery image dated the 24. of Jan, and I'm pretty sure that will fix it. The problem is that I can't seem to get rid of the OTA update that's on the unit. I have tried to hard reset it with both the reset in Settings and the one in the flash menu (power on + vol up), and still it's there installing itself. And I can't find it with Sniffer or Root Explorer! Any idea how I can remove this thing, so I can get back the Market access?
I also deleted the recovery.zip on the "internal SD card", and still I get "Your Adam is up to date" when I try to check if I'm back to an earlier image, and I have the same problem with Market. Driving me up the wall here! According to my About Adam the build number is NIP20230111.

I finally solved that. I downloaded the 5. of Feb update, and now I can update to the latest. Still market doesn't work, though. Any help on that would be appreciated! Driving me totally crazy...

Did you try force closing market and clearing data?

Sorry, should have posted that I finally got it. I went to Edenx and tried 3-4 full resets with that, and suddenly it worked. I have no idea how and why, but it's there now. It' very slow, but it's there. My son's Nook Color pops into market and makes searches in seconds, this takes at least half a minute. But I can deal with that. I've got Titanium Backup now, so I won't have to download anything more from the market if I don't need new apps.

[Q] Any Vibrant Experts Around?

My Vibrant is having some serious issues. I've only found one other person that seems to have my issues and that thread went out of control so I'm starting another.
Symptom:
Within 5ish (if that) minutes of a factory reset, the market will get stuck on Starting Download... for any application. Nothing fixes it. I can download 10ish applications but that's all.
Attempted Fixes:
Factory Reset
Various ROMs via Odin
Flash JFD ROM with "repartition" option selected, then flash another ROM over that without repartition
Factory Reset and different Gmail account to set up the phone
"Easy Fixes" like logging in to GTalk, resetting Market cache, switching networks and over to wifi in any combination and every other suggestion that doesn't work.
Notes:
Everything was working fine until that OTA update came in and I opted to install it without checking online to see if there were any issues. Of course, the update froze halfway through and I used Odin to install JI6, then all these issues started.
This is my first phone and it used to work perfectly well in any number of locations around where I live. Now it doesn't work anywhere.
I periodically get spammed with a lot of application downloads that I didn't initiate and they all turn up unsuccessful (since the problems started).
I tried using the Appbrain quick web installer feature which may or may not have caused the problem.
I am currently using Bionix 1.8 with VOODOO.
My wife's phone has the same set up and works. I tried her Gmail account on mine after a factory reset and I had the same issues.
Any suggestions?
When you flashed JI6 did you use the pit file?
are you restoring any backups after you flash?
I posted this in another thread. Someone did this with success and it worked for me too. The key thing "AND Uninstall updated"
I have managed to sort this now - here's what I did:
Go into settings - applications - manage applications- scroll down to market & long touch to open. Clear cache AND Uninstall updated. It will ask for confirmation and then uninstall. I then went back to market and Bluetooth file transfer downloaded and installed with no probs. Hope this helps anyone else with same problem.

Also have you ran a "Fix permissions" from RomManager? It seems to help with a lot of these strange errors ....
Sorry for not responding... work is keeping me busy.
Anyway, when I go Manage Applications, select Filter~>All and go down to Market there is nothing to do with Uninstall. I tried long clicking and that did nothing. When I click on Market, the only buttons are Clear Cache, Clear Defaults, and Force Stop. Am I missing something?
To answer other questions, both the JI6 and JFD .tar files I used (found on xda) came with their own .pit files and I did use the respective .pit files when flashing. After the flash, all I do is install Appbrain and start loading my applications again (no other restoration methods). I've run fix_permissions and that didn't help when I ran it though I've only done it once or twice in the whole process.
Note - I have Market 1714.
Cleared the download manager cache?
+1 on Fix Permissions in ROM Manager. This has fixed many market issues.
The TMo Android customer service folk had me try clearing the Download Manager's cache (and I tried again just for laughs) with no results. Tried fix permissions again with no luck. My replacement (refurbished? from TMo) should show up today.
Got the new phone (with JI6 on it and the new market that keeps applications up-to-date), flashed Bionix Fusion 1.1 and things look to be working pretty well. My signal is noticeably better than it was before (it used to be good then got worse for some reason so I guess it's back to what it used to be).
I paid $10 for 7-10 business day shipping or something like that but I got a text about it shipping on the 25th and it got here today (after being back-ordered) so I'm relatively satisfied. Sure would like to know what's wrong with the other phone and how to fix it if need be in the future but I'll just avoid accepting any OTA updates in the future.

Broken Market (download failed) *SOLVED*

i used the latest unrevoked a while back, clockwork loaded up fine. i wanted to change my default email and was a little hasty to give up and do a factory reset. after the reset i immediately used unrevoked again, and everything went smoothly.
however my market just doesn't work. it originally refused to even start, i installed a patch and now it starts but will not download.. (the status icon never shows and eventually i get the error message)
has anyone had and solved this problem on their Aria? i've been searching for ways to manually clear the Google Apps and Market data... i'm not going to mess around in root until i know what i'm doing

Android Market Error on every application

Im experiencing an error on every application I try to install or update. Error reads "Download was unsuccessful, please try again"
I'm hoping the store is down and everyone is having this problem...if its just me any suggestions. Its been doing this for a couple hours so I flashed to 1.26, updated to 1.57 and than updated to 1.83.
I know I'm rooted as I can use Root Explorer.

the last time that happened to me, i was out of space internal memory, so nothing would install. i clean up all my caches and remove unneeded apps and stuff worked again. not sure if that is your problem.

I had that happen on my dell venue. The fix is trivial.
Plug your phone into your usb cable, and set it to mass storage
then install. It will work fine.
It fixes itself eventually (in my case), the usb is fine for the interim

Well thanks for suggestion..didn't work for me either. This is crazy as this is a fresh install...I just flashed and updated...
Just a heads up...I was panicking because this lasted for about 6 hours and than all of the sudden just as I was going to go to sleep, it started working again. I believe it was something on the server side, nothing I did....needless to say I stayed up late to get as many of the apps I needed as I was worried about when my luck might run out...
I flash to 1.5.7 and update to 1.8.3 yesterday, then I open Market, it said like that 'there's a error,please try later'. I just reboot my atrix, and open WIFI, try Market, it's ok now.
PS: the apps downloaded from MarKet is here: /cache/download**.apk

Help, lost market updating Civato mix from c3 to c6.

I just updated Civato's c3 mix to c6. I did not do a full wipe reset ( I didn't want to reinstall everything) and have lost Market. I downloaded the vending.apk linked in his rom section and installed rebooted.
Still nothing.
Everything else works fine so far. I just keep getting "no application installed".
Other than reinstalling with a reset wipe, any ideas on fixing my mistake?
Thank You

Interesting. Just yesterday I had issues with my Phones Market app. Force Closes after it started. So I downloaded and installed the new market app. Here's where it got interesting.
Not sure if I deleted the old on the first attempt, or before the second attempt, but when I finished, I selected Market from the launcher "no application found". So I uninstalled all market apps. Installed the new, and from the launcher "no application installed" again! Checked my "apps" and the market icon worked! Had to delet the old icon from my launcher, and drop the new one there.
So my guess, is uninstall the old before installing the new. Remove all traces of it.
I did fix it.
I tried the Civato fix of renaming vending.apk and dlding another placing it in system/app and rebooting. No luck. I tried installing the app manually and received the "no application found" warning.
Luckily I had one sitting in Titanium backup. It reinstalled an older version and I did have to delete the old icon.
Just strange that it would not install the way it should.
Yeah, I remember reading about it in that roms thread. Seems to be a rom specific issue with it. Glad you're up and running.

I know and sorry for the trouble , it has got something to do with the 3.1.6 and 3.2 Market. If you install that version it is hard to revert back to the original A500 market (1.0.28) without doing a full wipe.
I posted it on my thread , that it is better to stay with old market , make a NANdroid backup and then flash the rom with new marked to check it out if you like it.
I'm really sorry for your trouble , I didn't notice the problem myself until I tried to revert back to the Old market.
I think all the roms with New (leaked) 3.2 market will have the same problem if you want to revert back to the old market. A full wipe or a titanium backup is the only solution then.
I've only had my A500 for a couple of weeks, but I've already tried quite a few ROM's since then, and the funny thing is, 75% of the time, there's a market issue! Dunno if it's just me or what. It typically only happens with the ICS market leak. Maybe some devices just don't like it. But anyway, I seem to have come up with a universal fix that has worked every time I've tried it. I just posted about it here. Basically, what you're doing is completely removing the market and all traces left behind, rebooting, injecting the 3.1.6 market, and rebooting again. It's almost too easy

Thanks and yep , I think it is some problem the way 3.2 market (leaked version) is intigrated into the system , on the full ICS 4.0 there will be no problem I guess but on HC3.2 it got some problems.
Edit:
The A500 uses a market simular like the website android market , it is intigrated into the system , I did a test , even when I delete the vending apk and marketupdater apk in the rom before flashing it , it still installs the 1.0.28version and I think that there it goes wrong when you install a other Market version and then try to go back.
I stick with the 1.0.28 version on the A500 , I think this web-layout is the more clearer one , 2.3.6 is ok but 3.1.5 and up to 3.2 got to small fonts and icons for me and is good for phones but not tablets in my opinion , the only good in those new versions is the rotation where the 1.028 only got horizontal view.

Don't be so hard on yourself. You have the nerve to give people new roms to play with. Nothings perfect and will always have minor issues we learn to work around. Just keep doing your thing. Believe me, people appreciate it more than you know

No need to apologize. I read the instructions and tried it anyway.
I'm very happy with your rom so thank you for all the time and effort.
I'm using Thors kernel and have no complaints.
We only learn from our mistakes and this was a very minor lesson.
I just discovered I have the "Error purchasing" problem.
Any ideas on a fix? I cleared cache no luck.
Thank You
go to the android market with Google webbrowser. Market acount settings .Make sure your device isn't hidden in menu.
Try downloading and installing true android market from the webpage and see if your tablet starts installing the picked app. If it doesn't. Your tablet is hidden in menu of the devices and you need to change that in your market account settings.
Fixed it, fingers crossed.
I tried to uninstall it from Titanium Backup and received the message that Finsky.apk would uninstall.
Since I was not certain which version of Vending.apk and Finsky.apk were on the tablet, I pulled them both from Thors 10 rom.
I then did the usual, rename the old ones, copy the new ones, force stop, clear cache and data, delete account, reboot, login, create new account.
Works fine now.
Are Vending.apk and Finsky.apk linked in some way? Previously I tried different versions of just Vending.apk and had either the error purchasing or fc when checking my apps.
Thank You
Well it seems to be that the finsky.apk is linked.
Thanks for the info.

It is linked - I have noticed this before. But check my last post on the first page. It's not necessarily required for the market to run (at least, with version 3.x) because I have removed it entirely. By removing all traces of the market (finsky.apk, vending.apk, and clearing cache) a fresh market apk can be pasted into /system/app with the permissions set to rx-r--r-- and it should run just fine.
Another thing which apparently works (who knows why) is going to Android settings, and selecting your language (even though it's already selected) and then running the market again. Not sure if that applies to tablets, but I remember having to do it with my phone on certain ROM's & market versions.

Issues after latest update G935FXXU1APF2/G935FODD1APF2/G935FXXU1APEQ

First off, sorry about the uninspiring title
Now that that's out of the way, here's the problem.
Have got the latest update for the Edge and it was around 70+ mb (version details in the title).
After the update the "Storage" option within "Smart Manager" throws up the error: "Unfortunately, SmartManager Clean SDK has stopped." (Screenshot attached)
This happens every time it is run, even after a fresh reboot. But doesn't happen in case the cache of the app is cleared. But this only helps for one run. By the time the app is run again, same error.
Anyone else facing the same issue? If yes, found any workarounds? Also, how do I get this info to Samsung? Can't find an official forum that I can post this, so that they get it fixed.
Help appreciated in advance :fingers-crossed::highfive:
Ever tried resetting the device? Or wiping cache in recovery?
Working fine over here

Just had a look: NO problems here...
Which font are you using on your S7Edge?
Is your device "rooted"? Have you "disabled" any apps?
@JohnLouise: Mine's not rooted... yet.. Also don't want to reset, which would mean setting up the device from scratch, time consuming, would like to avoid.
I clean the Storage time and again, a habit that I believe is good in the long run. I had done it an hour before the update and it worked without issues. No new apps were installed after that, which would point the fingers squarely at the update being the culprit.
@henklbr: No system apps disabled, although i have disabled all microsoft provided apps (but that shouldn't cause the issue). Also, its the Rosemary font. You can find it in Settings>Display>Font
FYI, I use the small version of the font.
Well, guess I have no other choice but to wait for the next update, or someone who has a solution to this, and hope its fixed, or my phone to go bonkers out of the blue, in which case i'll have to reset.

Wiping cache in samsung recovery mode? U don't need to be rooted on that. Maybe the update causes issues and wiping cache and dalvik will resolve the problem.
I'm having the same problem since the last update, and I'm not rooted either.
Same here. Even after factory reset and clear cache. Now disabled the service, no error notification anymore. but still. It's not usable anymore
any news? im having the same problem here
Sent from my SM-G935F using XDA-Developers mobile app
No problems here.
Rooted and on latest
(Allthough the latest Update, i installed from Fresh (Complete wipe and reinstalled everything)
I thought to myself a 5th dirty update is pushing it abit.
All working fine here:
Same here, although I have non edge version on stock ROM. Nothing helped, so far. Hope next update will fix it.

Same problem here. Haven't resettled or anything
Same Problem here after June update (German T-Mobile branding).
Tried several times wiping Cashe of everything that has something to do with Clean Master SDK, or Smart Manager.
Did not help.
Today, i tried Factory Reset.
Did not help.
Imediately after that... i downloaded the latest Firmware with SamFirm.
Flashed it via ODIN.
Did not help.....
What the actual ****.
This is annoying as hell tbh. Especially, since over time, a lot "trash" sums up >_>
My only Workaround now is, downloading the Cleanmaster App, and delete "trash" with that, and deinstall the app again because it sucks balls and is annoying.

i never removed my sd card or anything. it just suddenly works ^^

But i'll reflash with Odin 100% fresh as soon nougat is out!
