[Q] Market Can't Download [Resolved] - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

OK after intensive research and tried every possible fix there is, I'm now officially stuck.
When going in to the Market app and trying to download or update something it just says "Starting download..." and stays there.
I've tried force closing market > clearing cache > uninstall update.
That doesn't work. I've tried resetting to factory defaults, and that doesn't work.
This was the case when I also flashed to UK Generic 2.0.A.0.504 a couple of days ago. Which I there after restored back to my working Global Generic 2.0.A.0.504 via xRecovery.
Now I've flashed to Nordic Combined (B) 2.0.2.A.0.24 and it turns out that it has the very same problem.
I could chose to go back to my backed-up Global Generic firmware via xRecovery, but the whole point in upgrading was to get the latest firmware.
I've then read that logging out from Talk and logging back in should solve the problem. But when I try to open the Talk app it just opens up and disappears again like it Force Closes or crashes.
This must be some sort of Google malfunction in the way it connects to my Google account. I've tried reflashing with SEUS, FlashTool and the result always is the same, no Market working.
Hope there is some Wizard that has a way to fix this.

Not a lot you can do if the fixes don't work as mentioned on the other 1000 or so threads on the subject.

I know there is many threads on the subject.
But those didn't help. It can't be right that a simple update renderes a phone completely useless and nothing can be done about it.

Like I said, if it's not working then there isn't much you can do. There was a thread the other day about a "server issue" with gmail, and the op took umbrage with the suggestion that that's what it might actually be, guess what, it was. So sit it out for a bit because the issue is more than likely their end if none of the fixes have worked.

Well it's not at their end, because if I restore back to my old 2.0.A.0.504 my market works again.

When you flashed your phone, did it come with the old version of Market or new version? If it was the old version and it happened to be able to update itself, then there shouldn't be anything wrong with the Market since it was able to update itself.(assuming)
I was having the same problem yesterday when I flashed to the latest version of Global Generic - x10a and rooted the phone myself. The download would say starting, but nothing would download. I had the same results you did after going through all the steps that were supposed to fix it.
After I left it alone for a several minutes, it just started to work out of the blue when I tried again.
Give it some time and see happens. If you have already waited an hour, then I don't know what to say.
Also, which way did you use to flash your X10?

Have you forgot what you wrote in your first post, or have I missed something?

I used to stuck like that. Yes I also did a lot of research, It ended up just like yours.
If you have no idea for now I suggest try to clean the cache partition through xRec, it used to work once for me.
The other ways I succeed is to play around with the market updater as someone told.
I tried to freeze them, but not working.
So I uninstalled it, not working.
So I reinstalled it again, not working.
So at last I decide to clean the cache of Market and Market Updater... suddenly I got new version of market and everything turned to normal.
So, I'm quite sure it's something to do with a cache. I don't believe in a flashing would be a cure for everything now.
Those google talk, google acc, googlemail.com gmail.com blah blah blah thing, it just trigger to change (or currupt) the cache.
