I have a quite larger problem, I installed the JP3 rom from Eugene and Bionix. Well I revereted back to a nandroid of Vibrant9, thats where my problems began. After the nandroid was finished I seen the GTI9000 screen and it stayed there so I tried to revert back to stock with odin. I havedone every stock 2.1 odin they have posted and they go into a bootloop boot all the way up for about 20 seconds and then reboot. So I managed to get my update.zip pushed to my internal and without having to reroot the phone I got into clockwork mod installed Franken Twiz it works great other than the new problems. My signal either shows to be all or nothing no more individual bars being full, and my market place with download maybe 5 apps and wont download anything else after that. Did I do something wrong I followed all directions to a T help is needed Please.

I would revert back to an older nandroid of your system.
Tried that I even tried to revert to stock using oden and it goes into a bootloop and when I do manage to get a rom installed and loaded my market place starts trying to download a **** ton of apps that im nt trying to like i got a virus from either one of the root methods or from one of the stock oden roms off this website

You could try downloading lookout from the market. It will scan the apps you have. I personally havent seen a virus but im careful what I load.
not to be rude but in the OP it states that my market place no longer works becase of this. none of the antivirus apps actually work they have never been tested with a real virus. if someone can post the apk for a zip file containing that apk for lookout we can test to see if it really works
I just used ODIN to flash to stock ROM and modem in attempt to solve my problem with adding gmail account to my phone. It worked. I added my gmail account no problem and I was finally able to visit Android market. However, I have new problem now.
When I go to Market and download applications, I see bubble with "Your item will be downloaded" after I click on install button and then nothing happens. Application is not installed. No errors - nothing.
Does anyone have a solution? It would be much appreciated.
settings >> applications >> manage apps >> go to 'all' tab >> look for market >> clear data
after that re-login to market and see if that fixes it
Thank you xtone. I tried that to no avail. In addition to clearing cache on Market I also cleared it from Google Talk as I read they are somehow connected. Then I erased cache of all my apps and still it didn't get me anywhere.
Last thing I tried was to uninstall Market update. After that I have slightly different issue. Now it says 'Starting download....' and it never goes away. Also, it looks like Market re-updated itself to the new version! Is it possible?
I'm having the same exact problem. My issue started with Nero v2 and did not get fixed when I flashed Nero v3. Today, I tried PepperKake to see if that fixed the problem, but that didn't work either.
Even after a fresh install (after wiping and re-flashing, and before restoring my backups from Titanium), I try installing things from the market but nothing works.
If you look closely (at least on my phone), it will say "Downloading..." for a second or two, then FLASH "Download unsuccessful" and disappear almost instantly.
Somebody PLEASE help :'( This is very frustrating.
This happens to me on "occasion" where it says starting to download then nothing happens. The only way I get it to work, is if I cancel the current "download in progress" or whatever it says, then click "Install" once again, and then it starts immediatelly.
Also, I noticed that it was giving problems when I was using the older version of the market. Once updated it went away.

Just tried this, didn't work for me
Things that I found that could fix the problem...
Under settings>applications>manage applica.>running>clear data for "download manager", 'gmail".
Try re-formatting your SD card. Also, Unmount then Mount SD card.
Also, try using either data or WiFi and see if either works.
Do some research on this, there's alot of different threads concerning this issue, with possible solutions.

I don't mean to sound rude, but why would this affect anything? I feel like the problem must be with either the ROMs (JL5 ROMs maybe?) or the Market? As a test, I downloaded something through the browser with no problem. Also, is wiping much different from reformatting? What about disabling, then enabling voodoo (which I had to do in order to try out PepperKake)? I know they said "don't knock it till you've tried it," but backing up everything, reformatting, and then restoring everything seems like a tedious job and I wanna make sure I know why it's worth a try before doing it...
Also, to the OP: sorry if I'm hijacking your post. I just didn't want to start a new post and have people flame me with "THERE'S ALREADY A POST ABOUT THIS!" and whatnot.
Dude, all the stuff I brought up, I found through research in a couple minutes. Some of things I posted ended up fixing the issue for some people and some not. I do not believe the problem resides in the ROM or JL5 (which I'm running with no issue) but rather mods and what not that was installed previously...."ghost"
In the OP he states he went back to stock, so how could it be the ROM???
You don't want to be rude, nor do some research on the problem judging by your response. You want someone to give you an answer is all. Nobody has an exact answer, you just have to try different things and see what works.
"nuff said...do some research.

No need to blow up like that...I was simply asking a question since this is the Q&A forum. I've had this problem for probably about two weeks and I have been searching through the forums, but I've never found a post where someone had the same exact problem (outside of the Nero post, but their questions went unanswered).
You bring up a good point about the OP using a stock ROM. However, I haven't installed any mods (I went straight to Nero from stock), so I'm not sure how there can be "ghosts."
Again, I'm not trying to be rude or appear lazy. There was no need for response like that. I'll take my research to solve my problem elsewhere.
I wasn't trying to be rude or anything.....but yes, there are various topics on issues with the market going from 2.2 back to 2.1 back to 2.2 and so on....hope you can find a solution to your problem, and maybe later share the outcome with us...good luck!
Found the cause but still no fix
Thanks everyone for feedback. After few hours of trying different things I found what's causing my Android market to not work.
Thus far, what I was doing when I got into trouble was:
1. ODIN to stock ROM and pda (repartition checked)
2. root using this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723479
3. as soon as my phone is rooted Android stops working
So I tried to install all the apps I really need first: ROM Manager and TBackup (my ultimate goal is to upgrade to nero3. Everything works great. However to use these apps I need root access.
So then I rooted again using same method as always and I get same result - malfunctioning Android Market.
When I root using above method everything works great but I see old icon of superuser application. Is there a newer update.zip to root my vibrant? Or perhaps different way to root my phone? Can I do it manually?
I have two Vibrant phones. One had no problems when I did above steps. One continues to give me grief!
Even when I odin to stock I know not all the folders get refreshed. What actually is untouched when I use ODIN method to revert my OS?
Duce HD2, what is the best way to eliminate 'ghosting' without bricking my phone? I also believe that it's caused by some mod that was done previously - I bought my phone used.
If reverting to 'stock' image is not good enough what else could I do to clean up my phone? I know for example that efs folder is unaffected by going back to 'stock' as my phone remains SIM unlocked when I do it.
Market problem
I'm having the same problem Nero v3 + voodoo. If you find a solution, please let me know,
Thanks!

I still use the Super User that you have and have no problems....
ODIN back to JFD
Root
reboot into CWM recovery
Wipe cache partition
Advanced
Wipe Davlik
go back
Factory Reset/Restore
and you should have gotten rid of everything
There is an update.zip root on the cynanogenmod ailing page for Vibrant.

Don't know if its the new one.

The best way ,"I" know, is to ODIN back to stock true (JFD), check repartition. Go through the usual process - root, rom manager, etc. Flash new custom ROM, "important" while it's still in recovery after installation is complete don't rebooot yet, this is where you'll perform these steps:
Wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, fix permissions, perform factory reset. Then finally reboot phone.
I never ran into 1/10 of the problems that I see people having with their devices.
Also, after reboot make sure to leave your phone on idle for at least 15 minutes, so everything can properly get installed. Reboot, log in to gmail, give it 5 minutes, then reboot once again. Good to go.
Just like jmcghee1973 posted.
Give it a try and see if it works for you. Good luck.
Try using one click root as well. Never hurts to try...

Market working again
I followed the odin instructions, went back to stock, re-rooted, then re-installed nero3. This time I didn't restore system apps + data. My market is working. Hope this helps.
It worked for me too when I installed nero3 - market issues were gone.
I am actually not so sure any more that rooting caused the problem. What I observed was that my phone was downloading 'stuff' on its own soon after I reverted to stock image. I know that because I saw few 'download unsuccessful' messages. I also tested this theory - I reverted to stock. Immediately after I could use market but then 20-60 after my Market was not working, even when phone was un-rooted!
I don't know how these automatic downloads were triggered but my latest theory is that they have a lot to do with not working Market app.
Anyway, Nero 3 is not downloading anything automatically and I am really happy with it. Thank you guys for everything. You guys rock!!!
Hey guys,
Just Flashed to Bionix -V 1.3.1. Trying to restore all my apps and data with Titanium but it force closes pretty much anything i try and open. Is there something I have to clear before i can restore all my apps and data?
dont restore anything that has "SYSTEM DATA"
I dont think explained myself properly the first time. I mean anything i pretty much try and open that wasnt orignally on the phone gets forced close. Carhome, Opera mini, pingchat, reddit app, most of the games. Also id like to include that most of my apps were already restored when the phone booted up for the first time. Should I just reflash the rom?
if your apps and everything were there upon first boot it sounds like you had a bad install, something in the updater script got messed up when you downloaded. Redownload and Reflash sounds like your best option.
Yeah, something is not right there. A good install would wipe your phone (none of your apps should be there).
I would personally suggest going back to stock and then flashing. Its a super easy process and I wrote a guide in my signature, may help.
OK so ive redownloaded bionix and ive put it on the internal sd card. I rebooted in recovery. disable lagfix and rebooted. now its just sitting on the Vibrant boot up screen.... for about 15 minutes now.
I thought this **** was supposed to get easier..
NVM its rebooting now. Im reflashing it now, ill let you know after the reboot how it went.
Fixed.
Just restored 229 apps. **** me.
So is everything good?
Note that usually before flashing you are supposed to do a factory reset was it? I forget but the EDT Roms had the correct procedure to do in clockwork right before you flash a ROM so that you don't get issues like this. If your issue is still not resolved, look up an EDT ROM page and look the installation procedure.
Alright So I am new to this forum but Im not new to the scene. I cant figure this problem out after days of searching and restoring. So I just got my note last week been loving it coming from my old 4s. Anyways My problem is I did a fresh factory restore rooted with dags kernel (tried both stock root and Oc kernel). I have clockwork recovery installed btw. So usually everything goes smooth. I clear all caches phone boots up runs smooth, I install root then my basic apps. Now I was doing them one by one and restarting.
Well long story short. At random any one of these times I reboot the device I come back into the lock screen Ill unlock and it force closes everything and just keeps rerunning media scanner looping. (force close twlauncher calenders google sync etc like really anything usually its twlauncher thats first I click ok it goes back to lock screen freezes for a second then reboots media scanner. It doesnt find service or even attempt it. The only thing I can do is restore and try again. I have done this over 10 times just this past week. I have fixed permissions in both rom manager and clockwork. Though it was good until last night it just completely restarted on its own and when I booted back up it was force closing.
I even did a fresh format wiped everything reinstalled stock att unrooted Rom then rooted and I have to be afraid of my phone dying or just randomly crashing and that when I restart its not gonna make it back into gingerbread without a restore. Now this will happen whether I have no apps or some apps. I can seem to find anything triggering it. Is this a defect in the phone maybe? Should I restore to stock and exchange at at&t or am I missing something? Please help guys. Ive only been able to get about a day before everything force closes. And that is unacceptable for an 700 dollar phone when all these others are running smooth.
Did you happen to mess with any overclock values? I had the problem you explain only after I overclocked to much and it was unstable
Solution: put into download mode and flash back to total stock with odin and start over. It worked for me. Restoring backup did not work

It is a problem with CWM. You should look for and download darkside super wipe. If I were you I would probably flash the stock Odin tar and start fresh. Make sure you install the latest CWM.. I believe beta4. You should not have to reboot your phone after every new app install.
Use the super wipe from in CWM (install from zip) and then use Odin to get back to stock.
You most likely have an older version of the CWM, I don't think anyone has reported any problems with beta 4 and force closing issues.
I have CWM 5.0.2.7 on here. I dont have to restart everytime I install. I was doing it to see if there was a certain app triggering it thats all. Cuz if the phone goes off and reboots to lockscreen thats when the FC happens. It never happens while Im actually in use. First time this happened it was stock clock speed and its happened whether its 1.83 or 1.56 or stock rooted rom. And I had tried both restarting stock att rom with bloat and from my first backup after odin root.
Where do i find beta 4? I originally got this cwm from rootgalaxynote.com
Nevermind I found it I pulled a n00b. Ok Imma give that a try right now I see this is older version so HOPEFULLY thats it. Thanks a bunch Ill check back in after to let you know. Pretty crazy in the back of my mind I felt like CWM was the only thing I didnt check out.
Stuck in firmware upgrade encountered an issue. I cant do anything Odin wont write the stock firmware back on after wipe. What do I do? No cwm or anything phone just boots to telling me to restore with kies?

The version of CWM you were using was most likely for the international Note and therefore incompatible with the Note you have.

Just for Clarification
I too had the TwLauncher issue and tried clearing the Dalvik cache, cache, etc. This then sent me into a boot loop into recovery. (My CWM is the 5.0...version too). Tried the restore, no luck, wipe, no luck etc.
My PC doesn't see the phone, so I need to basically start the root process over again and install the Beta4 CWM. Am I understanding correctly?
I have the same problem and its driving me crazy. Can some one please help me out step by step Im new to this any help would be gratefully appreciated
Hello, I rooted my phone and it bricked so I found a stock rom and now after I did that I tried to go to the app market and every time I try to update packages It says can't install please try again and I get the same error if I download the .apk and try to do it that way, my services were turned off and I can't update versions I don't even know what version i'm running, any ideas on how I can fix this problem?
I would first try re flashing gapps. Then maybe a gapps fixer. If all else fails go to odin town and revert back to stock gingerbread
Okay well I tried to use odin to go back to stock but I could never figure it out, This may make me look stupid but 1) how do I flash gapps and if that works how can I revert back to stock android, I just dont want to ruin my android..
Being that i'm not sure of what you have on your phone (and even if you have a fascinate) I would just say odin to stock. There are various guides floating around. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1212239. Just do step 2 but with this file http://dl.dropbox.com/u/38436349/CI500_VZW_EH03_GB_CM.tar.md5. That's stock EH03 (gingerbread)
Notes for Odin:
Always use PDA section
Never ever ever ever ever, no matter who tells you, even if Jesus himself tells you, click phone EFS clear on. That will kill your data and you have to call Verizon to fix it or switch your data plan to another smart pone and then back to your fascinate.
Good luck
