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

[Troubleshoot Discussion] all Android Market problems here!

i am coming across from a rooted G1, i had about 160 apps i have managed to get most restored with mybackpro but have had market issues since i first signed in.
Apps when downloading continue to show as downloading even after they are installed, is this just a syncing delay, I know I had this with my G1 at times when switching between roms and it usually fixed it self after a few days.
If this is the case is there anything I can do to try and fix this myself, its very annoying as the whole market is app is slow.

Error opening market.
Hi,
The Internet browser on my Galaxy S I9000 opens all web pages on both, GPRS and WiFi networks. However, the following applications give me errors-
1. Market - "Server unavailable. Please try again later". For both, GPRS and WiFi networks
2. Talk - It simply shuts down without showing any dialog box on both networks.
3. Maps, Gmail, Mail, Samsung Apps - Works only on WiFi and not GPRS
I do not have a 3G network in my region yet.
Since market doesn't open; I can not download anything.
Kindly guide me with this. I am more concerned about [1] and [2].
Thanks !

Market Fix JF2 not working
Hi,
I tried everything, but its not working. I changed the build.prop (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7309462&postcount=162) wiped the cache and app cache, but still not full app catalogue in the market...
Can anyone help me?

A lot of them do, some mess up but devs are usually fast in tweaking the app to work with froyo

Upgraded to JM2 and now certain market apps missing
Hi, i'm pretty sure i'm in the right section, anyway, I upgraded to firmware JM2 and now there seems to be the odd app missing in market, not specifically paid ones.
For example myplayer is not there, is there a fix available for this or has the app just dissapeared(could anyone verify?).
Many Thanks

Market Problems? (13/08/10)
Okay so today I tried downloading some applications from the market but to no avail!
It says starting download but goes no furthur, I've factory reset the phone but still not working.
Anyone else experience this or any solutions to fix it?

Market Problem
Hey,
i can find all apps on Market but can't download any of them.
If i press install it says in German: "Download wird gestartet..." means more or less in english:"Download starting..." it gets stuck on this message.
I used JM2 and OneClick LagFix 2.0 market wasn't working. so i decided to reflash and don't use oneclick lagfix, but nothing.
Then i flashed JM5, bit it still doesn't work.
I also tried another googlemail account, but nothing..
Anyone has a idea? I can't even restore my backups, since i can't download titanium backup from market lol.

This has happened to me today too! Maybe it is problems with the market servers.. :/ Now I am stuck without any applications until it is fixed.

I have the exact same problem and i have also tried a factory reset, if i find a solution I will let you know.

Please Help, Messed Up

Hey guys, I've pretty tech savvy but new to playing with smartphones.
I have the Titanium backup and I removed some bloatware. (Bell Galaxy S 2.1, rooted, unlocked on Telus) I made out OK but stupid me never did a backup first.
Everything was fine until I removed Google Talk and I don't remember the other one below it. (I think it was goolge talk storage or something like that)
No when I boot the phone up I get Error com.google.process.gupps closed. And I can't download from the market. Everything else is fine afaik
Can someone help walk me through this?

A google search ?
https://wiki.ousli.org/index.php/Vo....google.process.gapps_has_stoped_unexpectedly

Thanks for the help but on my phone I don't have that option. Where do I find the place to clear it on my phone?

Wich one you don't have ? Try clearing all google stuff

There are no options on my phone that I can find for clearing anything google. I know how to clear the browser stuff but can't find anything else to clear google things. I found where I can sync my google contacts, gmail & calendar but not clear it. There's an option to remove the google account and I tried it but it says I can't delete the account because it's used by the phone and I'd have to do a factory reset.

Press your device's < Home > button, then press < Application >.
Select Settings and then Applications.
Select Manage applications.
Maybe All tab
Select Gmail Storage and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Return to the list of applications by pressing the < Back > key.
Select Gmail and then select Clear data. Answer OK when prompted.
Restart your device (Press and hold the < End call > button, then select Power off. Press < End call > to power on).

I found and cleared google service. that fixxed the error on boot up.
But the market still wont download and angry birds beta stopped working at the same time this happened

And try to re-install angry

Thanks for the link. I am just a bit scared to install it because it says it gets rid of the radio. My market worked fine before I deleted Gtalk and Gservice.
Is there another way?

OK so just to clarify, everything on the phone worked fine before I uninstall Gtalk and Gtalk Services (I think that's what it was, it was right below Gtalk)
Can I put the Gtalk and Services back on to fix it? (If so where do I find it online? Maybe someone has a dump?)
I don't know how to install the marketfix without the market either, it just sends me to the market no matter what I do.

Receive a direct download link in your mobile

Sorry I should have told you I tried all the methods on that page. I got the direct link emailed to my phone and it just opens up in the market.

Download on computer and transfer anywhere on you sd then use my files app to install it

Thank you, I will try that tonight.

I wanted to ask too, if I wait for the official Froyo update will that fix this problem too?

Well yes cause you will flash your phone with new fw

froyo is due 2 weeks away
not sure you want to wait for that long

The EXACT thing happened to me before. I did a google search and learned that Google Talk is in fact tied to using the Market.. I had to reflash my phone's firmware to get everything back.
I recently made a backup of all the default software of my SGS including Google Talk. So I have its apk and such.. I dunno exactly if you can install it from an APK..but yeah I have it. I'll upload it for you when I get home later.

I will just reflash the phone with original firmware if I can find it. Mine is the Bell version. Will the IMEI change if I reflash it with new firmware? Mine is I9000UGJH2 currently. No updates available through kies.

[Q] Enabling Market in UAE (Galaxy Tab)

I bought one from local carrier Etisalat, it has all the features working except the most wanted one "Market". I tried many ways to enable it but no success. Finally I am able to install the Market and can open it after some errors. But now once I select any app to install it shows downloading and then shows error in notification area "Download was unsuccessful, please try again". Please guys help me out of this issue.

Not sure if it will do any good. But try the market enabler. Maybe faking your carrier will help.

I tried this but this also needs a proper working market application.
In my case the app is not working properly.

Hey, mind me asking you which method did you use to get market? I'm not haveing any issues with market on my tab or desire
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I followed this blog methods:
"[How-To] Enable Android Market
SOLUTION 1
First option is by changing the region.
In the dialer do:
*#272*YOUR_IMEI#
This will bring up a little menu. Select XSG, install and you are ready to go.
!!!!Be warned though, this will do a factory reset and you will lose your apps and stuff.
!!!!If your going to try, backup everything.
Thanks Ayman07
SOLUTION 2
Procedure :
Install a file manager like.Estrongs or Astro from here:
Transfer it with bluetooth or USB to your phone and install.
After installing the File manager.
1. Go to internal memory root
2. navigate to /system/app
3. Locate Vending.apk
4. push on it to install it
It may force close the first time you run it but the second time it should work.
If you still encounter Force Close or download issues, do the following ( you might want to do it anyway as it is sometimes better to start with a clean slate)
1. Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Chose All
3. Find Market
4. Push on it and select Clear data
P.S (you might want to use the attached Vending.apk if the one that is on Galaxy Tab fails)
"
First procedure was not working and then tried 2nd one, Market get installed but not able to install any application. Always getting download unsuccessful error.

Kenya works, most of the countries there work, I got mine working on Tunisia I think.
now if you want arabic support as well, your going to need to flash the software to the newer UAE one which also has the Android Market

I am in Jordan.
I tried XSG and still have only free apps. I dont have KEN either.
I tried KSA , the Market icon went off... so I am back to XSG but still no paid Apps. just the free ones.
Any suggestions?

P.S. Market Enabler did not work as well.

Market Enabler works only if you have rooted your device.

Thanks for your reply... I did install z4root and I had 2 options, permanent and temp. root.. I did the permanent root and tried market enabler (it keeps on saying: Huston, we've got a problem) then tried the temp. root and the same message appears.
When I used the *#272* method, I am currently on XSG and when I've connected my TAB to my PC it prompted me that there is an update, so I updated it and dont have a clue if my device is still rooted or not but yet again, market enabler is not working.
Thanks again for your help.

Cant connect to market UK

Hey guys,
Im having the same problem here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11361701&postcount=1
seem to be having a marketplace problem I was hoping others could confirm. Whenever we try to set up an account for the marketplace, the setup app returns "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." I'm trying to figure out if this is our problem, or something gone wonky on Google's end. Can anyone else confirm
I cant even add my normal account.
This is all after doing a factory reset.
Any idea what to do?
I tried the crack....
"UPDATE
Thanks to thebadfrog for piecing the bits together on this to figure out what was happening. He's also got Market Enabler available for download at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18721949/ch....tenabler-1.apk
Download Market Enabler, copy to device, tap to install
Open ME, select Settings List
Tap and hold on a carrier
select "fake this provider now" > allow"
This doesnt work as When you go to settings list It doesnt show UK carriers (Mine is T-mobile) and the ones there dont work.
Any help appriciated.
