I am running the official AT&T Froyo 2.2.2 on my streak. For the past couple of days I get a "Unable to install, please try later" message every time I try to download and install any app from the market. Before this I have downloaded many apps from the market with no problems. Also I am still able to download apps from Amazon app store. I tried clearing the Market cache and Market data but it didn't fix it. I also deleted all apps that I downloaded recently. Still no fix. Does anyone have any ideas, as this is very frustrating? Thanks for any advise.
I recently had a similar issue.All I could do in the end was back up my phone/apps and then re-installed the Rom.If you're already done lots to your phone then this probably isn't what you want to here so just be patient. There's a lot of good helpful folk on here and fingers crossed you should get an answer. There's lots of great stuff to read up on while your waiting.I myself am learning new things daily and so far haven't bricked my Streak.Lol.
Good luck mate.Tris.
P.S. Just a thought but have you tried downloading apps from the official website through your phone or from a PC to see if you get the same error? That may help someone narrow the problem down for you.

You can also download from the market website directly to your phone without the use of the built-in app on your phone by going here :- https://market.android.com/
Just log in with you google account as normal and try a download, you can do this from either your phone web browser or through USB at your PC.

Wow, it does indeed work by downloading directly from the site to my phone! I would still like to figure out why the market app does not work, but it's great to know I can still get the apps. Thank you!!!
If you're phone is rooted and you have a backup of the file 'vending.apk' you could always try re-installing it through a file manager. But I'm afraid that is where my knowledge ends. I'm glad you can still manage downloads via another route, to me that says 'all is not lost yet!'
Maybe you have USB Debugging enabled?

I don't think so. How do I check?
I have USB Debugging enabled on my phone and have no problems with the Market, so it's something else that is causing the problem.
Well thanks for all the help guys. After several days of this happening with no know reason, it is now suddenly working again for no known reason. I just hope it keeps up.
Ok so i was in my flash happy mood earlier today..
I saw that ICS slim was updated and was going to try that, well i had ICZen on my phone at the time and tried to flash Slim, well blah blah, it didnt work.. The op told me to flash from a rom that had cm9 (iczen has glitch) so i flashed Lithium MIUI--went back into recovery and started to wipe.. i wiped everything.. So i went to go flash ics slim, and as soon as i pressed 'Yes, install..' it was installing for a very short bit, then all a sudden a reboot and got stuck on the rainbow screen...
I cannot go back into recovery, but i can go into download mode.. BUT this is where the kicker is......
My computer doesnt recognize my device... ive installed driver after driver to get it to recognize. Well, no avail
Even tried installing the drivers on 6 other friends computers (at my college) and all of them still didnt recognize my device..... SMDH.. been trying to fix this all day and im pissed.
Any ideas what to do? Hate to go out and buy another phone......
And before yall say 'you cant flash miui and then go straight to ics, you have to odin' --- No, i did it all the time.. This time something went wrong and idk what
Wow, 158 views and no replies..
Guess i did permanently brick it.. ok
If you can get in to download mode, you're not bricked.
I've read/heard that since our ICS roms are built off of Nexus code, you need to install the nexus drivers. Have you tried doing that? Also, are you sure it's not a bad cable? Try another samsung cable (if you can get a hold of one) to be sure.

yes, ive installed the nexus drivers too.. im positive its not a bad cable, ive used it on my computer before hand.. and yea, ive tried another cable as well..
I remember experiencing something like this a while back. i softbricked, could enter download mode, but the computer would not pick up my phone. i dont remember an exact solution, i just remember downloading all sorts of drivers and eventually i got it to pick up.

as far as views:replies, you have to realize that even though you are in panic mode (weve all been there, so we know how you feel), that doesnt necessarily mean people are automatically going to have an answer for you. in this type of situation, its virtually impossible for anyone to tell you an exact solution (if there is one) unless they are sitting right next to you.

i honestly wish i could tell you exactly, this was a whiiile back, prob over a year.
all i remember was a lot of installing/uninstalling/reinstalling drivers, rebooting comp/phone, unplugging/replugging....it seemed like there was no hope so all i could do all day was fiddle and just hope and pray that i would do something right and the phone would read
im not going to lie though, it does sound pretty bad that youve tried it on multiple computers. that means your possible problems are (from most to least severe):
1. Busted USB port
2. Wrong drivers installed
3. Malfunctioning chord
Although i WILL say: make sure all of your USB connections are free of lint, gunk, etc. I know this sounds like one of those stupid, default troubleshooting steps, and i always looked down my nose at it. however there was a point in time the the comp wouldnt pick up my phone. i tried eeeeverything to remedy it and nothing was working. sure enough, i looked at the standard usb connector on my charging chord and it was FILLED with pocket lint. once i picked it out, BAM good as new!!

i literally restarted my computer 7-9 times from uninstalling and installing driver after driver.. been doing this all morning.. no class, lol thank god. so im in the dorm getting my nerd on..
tried it again on 2 other computers (installing drivers and what not) didnt work.. Tried 2 other usb cables, didnt work..
Tried ur method of cleaning usb ports, didnt work lol.. (i blew in them/phone too)..
im currently on C.L. lookin for a new phone, I WOULD hate to have to leave the vibrant community.. yall been great with roms/drama LOL..
im slowly losing hope on this .. but im continuing to try and fix this
Couple of things. Why don't you go over to the Dev section and download the AIO toolbox. Tiber I think has a link in one of the last posts that should still be working. It has all the pit/tar files, drivers (I know, I know), Odin and is very handy. Don't forget to make usre you have the .net files too.
Then try this
Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!
1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.
2.) Remove your battery.
Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!
3.) Hold the volume buttons.
4.) Put the battery in.
5.) Put the USB in.
You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.

If all else fails, just keep trying. It boots up to Download mode so it is salvagable and not hard bricked. If you do end up finding a new phone on CL and want to donate you Vibrant, i am looking for one to work on some things with.

So the one Rapidshare from Tiber isn't working? What about the one from OldeCrow 2 posts up. If neither of them are working, I can get it to you later on tonight when I get home from work.
Regardless, if you have the drivers and have Odin installed, try the tricks in my earlier post and see it works that way. Panic mode is probably not deep set in, don't worry we'll get it on.
When you say yours (and 6 others) don't recognize the phone, are you talking about Mass Storage mode or do all 6 of your friends have Odin installed on their computers? Might seem like a BS question and I am sorry about that but it is a one or the other type situation. It will be in download mode OR mass storage.
Can you boot into recovery by chance?
Depending on what bootloader you have it will be (Froyo) Vol+/- and power or (GB) Vol+ and Power. Also not to sound noob-ish but just bc you have a GB ROM doesnt mean you have GB bl's. Dealt with that with someone else this week and fought me tooth and nail over it.
if you have clockwork mod installed you can put a rom on your SD card through your computer, wipe your phone and then flash the from with a full wipe.

That is what I am getting at.
If he can get into CWR then he can mount the phone to the computer in Mounts and Storage, put a simple 2.2 ROM on there and get it to boot up so that it works. then figure out the driver thing later on once we can get it to fully boot up.

oh and i did do the little tricks you said, i found that op..
that person had the same problem as me and everyone tried to help, they gave him/her links and everything.. i followed with the links too, and just like that person, none of them worked for me either
saw the download link that oldecrow posted.. its working.. downloading now
Ok. Keep trying once it is downloaded and let us know how it is going. I am getting ready to leave work soon, so I won't be on until later tonight but there are plenty of others that can help.
There's also the One-Click Vibrant DeBrick from Adam Outler. I've used it on my netbook on phones with your identical problem and its never failed yet.
Also, Heimdall on Ubuntu will flash it no problem, it does NOT need drivers like Windows does...

im on 2.1 again lol.. so all i need to do is go back into recovery and reinstall packages right?
Did i lose root? i forgot
I've downloaded all of the necessary files and drivers for Adam Outler's Once click root and bootloader unlock method but it never seems to get started. I run the Casual, and click the large "Do It" button, but then nothing happens. I don't get the prompt to continue and the "do it" button simply turns grey. I've let it sit for a while and still nothing.
I've uninstalled/reinstalled drivers as well as re-downloaded the Casual.
I've flashed with Odin back to stock.
I've installed Kies.
I'm running Win 7.
I've noticed others on YouTube have stated they have the same issue but I haven't been able to find a solution. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Wish I could man, but I can't post links yet because I'm still considered a new user.
The best thing to do is delete your current drivers in device manager then plug your phone back in and let windows install them itself. You could also try Samsung Kies.
Here's a link to the Samsung drivers... hope its helps

Has anyone had this issue?
hey guys new to this place, not that new, i've always search this forum for some rom or how to fix stuff and other help but never post anything here.
so lets get straight to the point. so basically i want to revive my old samsung galaxy tab 10.1. you know, for fun and nostalgia haha (if possible). so i don't really remember what i did to this tablet that it becomes like what it is today. cannot be turned on, no display when charging, no nothing. i do remember rooting it before. when it charge, there is a little warm going on on the tablet but nothing happen. when i connect it to my pc, it recognize it as unknown device the first time, and then i hold the power button for couple of second and my pc recognize it again but now as apx but no driver available. so i made a little research just now and i found that the tablet may have a chance to be fix with the use of nvflash or something. so all im saying is it really my tab can be fix without spending money? if can how do i do it? i have a little experience about flashing rom and recovery. but nothing on how to use nvflash. i do really appreciate your help to bring me back this tab that meant so much for me and my family back in the days.

by the way im really sorry i didnt update for a long time. but i hope you still want to keep in touch with me to solve my problem. much thanks!
I'm stuck on waiting for all devices in adb.. My phone screen has a menu with three choices, one of them is flash unlock.bin. Should I keep waiting for all devices for how long in adb?
What procedure are you using to unlock? The WTF process is the one that I believe has worked the best for most people... and that doesn't have anything special on the phone screen, so I'm thinking you're using some app or script?

Yea, I'm following that one. I read somewhere about AMD PCs causing problems. My phone shows when I use adb devices. So should I be a little more patient or what?
No, the processes are quick. AMD Ryzens typically have issues, but it's only because of the USB driver they use. I've heard a few Intels have issues sometimes as well.
The key is, you just need to try other computers... this is the "hardest" thing to do, but it's really the only solution to that issue. The process takes under a second, so it's not a patience issue.
For the record, my older laptop with an AMD A9 CPU did the process fine... so, again, it's not a CPU issue, but a driver issue for the USB, apparently...

Some people had to use 2 or 3 computers. An older one with Intel CPU works best (especially if it has USB 2.0), but yes an AMD can work. As noted by @schwinn8 Ryzens are no go. One guy was upset because he had superfast gaming computer and we kept telling him to try another computer. He borrowed his brother's mediocre laptop and BOOM, worked. Another guy dug some old laptop out of his closet and it worked.
Thanks for the reply...i was just reading about adb making sure it wasn't something i was doing wrong. Even tried on an old iMac that i had installed linux on. "Waiting for device..." So..still reading and learning to be patient. Thank you

Also, try the steps mentioned in Wtf troubleshooting section.
Other than that you may have to mess around in the device manager section to see if the phone is detected properly or not.
(if there's a problem with the driver the device will show up as unknown android device or something)

You said "patient"... just to reiterate, this process doesn't take longer on a computer that says "waiting for device". It's a fast process, so if it's not happening within a few seconds, it won't work on that setup, period. Don't waste your time waiting - get another machine/cable/etc (check the troubleshooting steps to find other possible issues... the computer is usually the biggest problem to overcome, but the most successful).
Good news, i unlocked my phone and installed twrp, then i had to stop the process (wtf)
i still need to make a backup in TWRP and flash two more files from wtf notes. I cannot seem to be able to reboot into TWRP from ADB. thanks in advance
The oem is greyed out in developer mode and says its unlocked. Idk?
Glad to hear you got it unlocked.
In the WTF post it says that the developer mode may remain grayed out after being flipped... this is normal. It comes back after some time. Of course, you don't want to toggle it again anyway, since you're unlocked...
When i go to use an app to boot into twrp..it tells me its not rooted.

Bootloader unlocked is not rooted. It's just the prerequisite to being rooted. Then you install TWRP custom recovery and then use that to flash Magisk. It's all in the WTF Instructions. Also be sure to use the version of Magisk in the WTF Instructions, at least initially.
Thanks..ive got magisk from the instructions. It wants to update..should?
Once you are booted into Android, you can update Magisk to some degree. I forget the last version I had but I recall I could go to 20.x or something without issue. But there is always a risk of having issues if you update to the latest version... so be prepared to go back to the one on the WTF thread if the phone has issues. In other words, don't do this last minute or without a PC to work from... because it could fail.
The only time you have to use the old Magisk is during that first boot with it... once you're booted through, you have been able to update to newer versions. But unless you need some specific feature of the newest version, I might suggest leaving it alone...
I read somewhere..when i upgrade on US 998 20b, i need to move up to 20c?
Also, do i use the "twrp version. 20c"?
