Go to 'Settings', 'Applications', 'Manage Applications', Select 'Market' from the list and then uninstall updates and clear cache.

ok then try this instead:
Using root explorer, delete the '/data/data/com.android.vending' folder and then reboot.

i doing that you say but not working market ,only say satarting download,but not download.

The next step for me would be to do a hard reset and if that didn't work then reflash the firmware.

how reflasj the firmare? my phne get android 2.1 my old firmwar1.6 also not working market

To reflash you can use SEUS or PC Companion and use the repair option.
Or you can flash a different firmware usiung flash tool and your choice of decrypted firmware.
It seems strange that it didn't work on 1.6 either. do other things like gmail and talk work ok? and what about your browser? What firmware are you running at present - is it generic or branded? can you download anything at all from the market?

i reflash with SEUS to 2.1 ,gmail and googletalk work ok,my browser is default on x10 and have a generic firmware (buid number 2.0.a.0.504) i can not download any things in market

If the reflash with SEUS doesnt work then I would try flashing with a different firmware. Are you on nordic or global? whichever you are on try flashing your phone with the other one using flashtool.

Try to see your internet settings again. Maybe you have a wrong setting

Im having the same problem. Just keeps coming up with a force close message.

Any solutions? I flashed my ATT 1.6 X-10 to 2.1 using the non-gui flash tool (only one that would work for ATT, it seems) and I had issues with market...the screen would show "downloading" but the app would not actually download and when I would go back to market and click on "my apps" all the previously selected apps would come up still downloading...I went thru the settings and tried various things and it eventually started actually downloading but am not sure what "fixed" it for sure.
Recently I reflashed using a different version of flashtool (required laptop updates) to a newer 2.1 firmware ver but it seemed to not work quite right so I just flashed back to the generic 2.1 using non-gui flashtool and it works good again but lost many of the apps. Now, again, market shows the applications downloading but the phone doesn't actually download them...I have tried most of the things I tried before that seemed to (eventually) work but have not got it to actually download apps yet (this time).
I'll try your 2 suggestions above , then reflash and see if that works but I'd like to know a solution for sure since this has happened before and i never discovered the exact fix...just tried several things and it worked eventually.

I used this Flashtool
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
My problem is that the Markets UI still remains the old one. It does not have that carousel looking thing. I do not see "uninstall updates" when i click on Market

maybe u should look around for a complete clean rom that u can flash which has market in it, when u done that.... and it still aint working i would say give my tutorial a try
@xoticpnai808 you should really check my tutorial

z4root cannot be installed after repair via pc companion

Hello All,
I bricked my x10, and did a PC companion update repair. I also reformatted the sd card. However, now I cannot root with z4. It is stuck on " running exloit in order to obtain root access, or that it exits and when I try to go back into the program, it says that an unexpected error had occurred and need to force stop. Once its force stopped, I cannot go back into the program. I tried restarting the phone, but the same thing happened. I reformatted my phone and card two more times, but same problem exists. Please help! Thanks!

Make sure you have USB debugging and Unknown sources checked.

Try uninstalling it. Then, make sure you download it to the sdcard before you install it using Astro or equivalent. I had a similar problem when I tried to install it straight from dropbox rather than downloading it to the sdcard first and then installing it.
I hope you are not trying to root the latest Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW because that is not rootable at the moment?
how do I know if I have the Generic 2.0.2.A.0.24 FW?? I went to 'about phone" and only see that the firmware version is 2.1 update1. is that the unrootable firmware? I also tried using astro to install it thru sd card but it still doesnt work..... maybe I should just root it with one click and not use z4 anymore?

Go to settings --> about phone and scroll down. It should tell you what build you have.
aiya... it appears that I do have the 2.0.2.A.0.2.4 FW. thats why z4root wont work..... is there a way that I can revert back the firmware? is this FW recently released? What is the advantage of this FW over the older version?? Thanks

Yes it is recently released. It is a minor update that fixes some bugs but, there is no official changelog from SE. You can flash back to older FW from here.

First, install X-recovery and read the instructions here.
Second, go here and follow the instructions in post #1.
Third, go here to install JiT.
Each post has very simple instructions, so just read through them. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help, but can I install xRecovery on an un-rooted phone? Because the xRecovery post says that the requirement is that the phone must be un-rooted .... do I still have a chance?

You can flash to an older FW from the link I gave you earlier in post #8. Use Z4root to root and then install x-recovery.
which firmware should I download? I have a x10i, but the firmware in the flashing post only have Nordic, German and CH under x10i. Is there an English version? Thanks!

Download the X10i global from here.
got it work by re-flahsing it back to the old FW. Didnt bother to update to the newer FW, but everything feels fine! Thanks everyone!
Do we need to re-root and re install all the apps everytime that there is a FW update? like re do the whole process when a new FW gets released??

[Q] Help! Downgrading from Free X10?

Hey guys, can anyone help me out here?
I downloaded and installed My Free X10 Beta 4.. I'm pretty sure I did everything properly but it left me with one problem, it wasn't letting me enter the SIM card pin and therefore wouldn't receive signal, causing it to reboot constantly..
I've tried changing the SIM lock on startup off but to no avail - I only get errors..
Since nothing else is working I want to downgrade back down to the Stock 2.1 version, can anybody help me? Much appreciated, thanks.
If u made a backup before u did the flash then u can restore the backup but u probably didn't lol... so u have to flash 2.1 Alltel over again
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Actually I did, using the Backup and Restore app thingy, how do I restore it from there? Thanks!
If you used the SE backup and restore app then that won't be any use - it only backs up content, not Firmware..
Your best course of action is probably to try doing a repair using SEUS, or use flashtool to flash a standard SE ROM.
You know I was considering trying out Titanium Backup.. Too late now!
So I should just trying update in SEUS as normal and see what happens from there?
Sorry I'm such a noob. -.-
Yes - plug into SEUS and it will either say that you have the latest firmware, or will try to update your phone.. if it says that you have the latest firmware then you should be able to select the "repair" option...
If SEUS doesn't let you re-install the firmware then you'll need to reflash a standard ROM first.
Thanks for your help so far, you're a lifesaver
I'll try that now and get back to you when its done!
Ummmm. Not good, ran through SUES fine but its not working at all...
The phone starts up with the SE name and symbol then shuts down straight away?!

give it another flash using SEUS mate, occasionally there are problems when flashing a ROM.
If you are keen, you could use the flash tool that binary has posted. Pick the appropriate ROM package from his list, start the flasher batch file, restart the phone in flash mode and wait a few minutes.
binary's tool lives here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201 and another thread with more info is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10738467
Good luck and have patience - you cannot kill the x10 so it wont boot so you will be ok
Thanks mate, you've actually calmed me down now. It could be a late night but i'll figure this out.
Well if u had made that backup with xrecovery u would have been okay!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Go into the SEUS and use the repair function,It will reset the phone and give you the latest firmware.
Then use the XDA flash tool to re root it,Worked great for me
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=965202
Sorry was away from the computer yesterday..
Well a new problem, the phone isn't staying on long enough to connect to SUES.. All the stuff in them other posts about Binary is going in one ear out the other, so to say.
Can you get into flash mode at all for SEUS?
If not, try taking the battery out, then connect the USB cable, hold down the back button, and replace the battery.
Beta 4 does not work on all devices
Hi,
in order to get back a working X10 just flash the beta3. I've had the same problem and flashed the beta3 (plus Google Applications) and afterwards it worked well
Regards
Stefan
Okay, all this stuff is confusing me, try talk in noobish terms I dont understand this flashing and stuff..
I'm upto the stage where I have the flasher, just how do I flash the software onto it? Thanks for your help so far guys..
Actually, ignore it, I managed to repair it with SUES and i'm back on 2.1 I think i'll think twice before installing Betas again! Cheers for all your help guys!!

[q] help desperatly needed

I've accidently done system format and wiped my whole phone. When I switch the phone on it sticks on the "Sony Ericsson" screen, I've tried pressing the back button hoping to get back to xrecovery but everything has gone.
I've read a few posts saying that pc companion can fix the problem but after trying that it doesn't find my phone, what has made it worse I don't have any back up stored anywhere to try fixing the problem
Can anyone please help me get my phone up and running again especially as it is my main contact to my son
Uninstall pc companion and redownload and install it,(That should sort the drivers out to recognise your phone) and if that does not work try SEUS
looks like you will have to go back to stock then use flashtool to root and reinstall xrecovery and start again...

Thanks. In the process of downloading both now. Would I be able to go back to stock using either of these as I did not have anything backed up, not even the stock rom....my rom was stock anyway only rooted to get rid of certain apps
As an alternative you can use the flashtool and flash a generic firmware. That will put a stock rom and maybe even get an updated baseband depending on which firmware you grab. Check this thread and maybe bookmark it too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
Yes, either of these will put you on stock rom with the latest firmware and baseband for your region and phone.
hope you manage to sort it out...let me know if you have any problems, you can always pm if you need to

Tried both, doesn't work. Is it the apk which has the problem, or ICS itself, because other devices (e.g. Samsung phones) also had the issue, look here.

if your bootloader is locked then repair your phone through pc companion.
otherwise do a fresh install of your rom by flashtool. obviously check wipe data,cache,appslog

I appreciate your reply but I have before flashed ICS countless times and flashed many ROMs where I have had to wipe data via CWM (also format the system) none of these have worked. Plus before I became familiar to flashtool I used to use PC Companion/SUS to apply updates. I think it is ICS itself-does anyone else have this problem?
EDIT: JUST CHECKED ON MY BROTHER'S ST15i AND HIS STOCK BROWSER ALSO EXPERIENCES THE FC ON ICS.

i had problem of touch and some apps gave me fc which were solved by repair phone..
Thanks for the input. Best thing to do is ignore it, I've just installed Opera Mobile Classic which is faster , it may not be the same but it works. Also I disabled the stock ICS browser via app manager because I probably won't use it.
