hi guys, well to cut it short my market isnt downloading, one of the users "GHIDDA" put forward the suggestion that i have activated a bug in market (infinity downloading at 0 KB or ETERNAL DOWNLOADING) by removing gtalk130 or chat1.6,
ive checked my apps and dont have chat1.6, it was suggested that i flash my rom, i know how to flash but what i need is some pointers on the ROM required and if some of the excellent brains on here could tell me more i would be bloody grateful lol
If you have Titanium Backup installed browse to Backup/Restore tab and list here what google apps you have installed and we will take it from there.
im a dunce

i dont have it, i used seus to repair my firmware back to r2ba026 uk gen, i could go through the flash process to give me r2ba023 rooted, would only take me 15 mins, i think the problem is ive messed my phone right up and would be better flashing a gen uk voda and taking it to the shop to get it sorted,

i have reflashed m8, a few times, still keeps happening, i reckon its down to either the vending or the talk apps that i might have deleted using root explorer, dont know if you can restore things from system or the data folder????
Can you list the google apps that you have left installed? Do you have IM?
google apps
google apps 1.3
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google partner setup 1.6
google search (enhanced) 1.6
google search 1.6
google setting provider 1.6
google talk 1.3
google talk service 1.3
IM 1.6
Interesting... All google apps are there.. Hmm...
When you flashed you handset what firmware did you use? And from where did you download it?
Go to this post by Grospolina:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7490733&postcount=65
Download the pack and flash that firmware.
Dont use titanium backup to restore any settings..
sweet
one of the old ones going from rf16 through step 2 then 3 to give r2ba023 then step 3 to root, originally had uk gen r2ba026 unrooted, used x10 root to root installed titanium and root explorer, went OTT with the delete and browsing through allsorts of folders, deleting what i thought was useless (inc things in data and app and delvic so it might be down to a missing file or something from them perhaps.....im a effin newbie hence FNG) hard reset got what i thought was a great looking simplified phone and aaarrrggghhh market not working, which was weird as i had rooted and restored a few times as i kept making mistakes and market was working as i had to download ASTRO to install the x10root.apk, but after a last restore it just stopped working.........................hence im a DUNCE
aaaarrrggghhhhh
went through the process, 1-3 but my market still wont download, does changing google matter, i created a new one yesterday
Vodaphone rom
If anyone knows where i can get a stock uk vodaphone rom for flashing i would be grateful, i have the two original files from when i debranded but as far as im aware that cant be done anymore.................................................

Is the problem that you can't download apps from the market, and it just hangs on 'download starting', or something like that?
If so, just open Google talk, and wait for it to sign in (with an active internet connection), and the download(s) should start.
It's a common problem - just have a look here:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
I hope that this solves the problem, as it did for me.
Good luck!
Internet
do you mean wi-fi, 3g or with browser?
what would happen
what would happen if i installed a rooted firmware and then removed all the google apps and even market, and removed all files and traces associated with them from system or data and then cleaned all my caches? just incase it has something to do with a file error/virus or bug, would seus be able to replace all missing elements in a reinstall, or to simplify can i erase nearly everything and get seus to repair?
Please read before going mad...............
hi peeps, just a quick update,google recently changes from GOOGLEMAIL.COM to GMAIL.COM..........anyone facing problems with sticky downloads should go to google via your PC and change your email to GMAIL (THERES A LINK TO DO THIS SUPER FAST, INSTANT CHANGE< dont worry you can still get your mail from your googlemail.com name)now go offline, pick up your phone turn on etc, go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPS/GOOGLE APPS and then press clear data to wipe, go back to menu press GOOGLE TALK and sign in with your GMAIL.COM ID........voila market works again the way it should, it must be a bug caused by the change by google recently.....but now its GOOOONE....thanks and good luck peeple
So I have Stock 2.1 rom htc Hero rooted with 1 click root. (Vista x64 and cant sync but the app inventor works fine)
I needed the space (thought I did, in the end I didnt)
And via titanium backup I uninstalled the stocks and stocks widget(without a backup). Now I got them from a very nice guy in apk form but I need also ODEX files to it.
I have a friend with the exact rom as me. BUT he doesnt have root and I am not sure I will be able to get root from him.
So any way to get the apk + odex without root? . And if no. How is the root way?
But cant push them back to the system.
He suggested I do it with the adb thingy but the first step:
adb remount -a
does this
when set change only = device not found
+ USB debugging = operation not permitted
Then I read here somewhere to try to install and move them to the system/app
But "application not installed" when trying to install
Bought yesterday the root explorer and was thinking to just move them to the system/app. Would it do some damage? Or just dont work? Or maybe work?
As you can see I dont have any idea what linux and android is about so I dont know what that move would do or anyone has any other idea how I could do this? (Without flashing )
And why I need it. There is a new update coming 405.2 with the G-sensor calibration tool (htc wrote me to get it) . But here somewhere I read that it wont install since in the package are updates for ALL apps even stocks.
I cant do much more to this hero, since its still in warranty (and kinda not mine ) And I know more of this is posted here, and I tried to get some answers in some other threads, but no luck.
If I know the 405.2 will go on without the stocks and stocks widget installed , I wont even need this. But I cant be sure or did actually someone try this?
And thanks for any answer and sorry for doubleposting.
I have created an UPDATE.zip without stocks, because I hate It and had removed from ny ROM too.
If You need It I can send You a link.

Perdita, I wouldnt know what to do with the update.zip . If it involves adb.exe on the stock rom as described it didnt work. Also if I might to know.
Will I loose the future OTA update capability?
Will I loose warranty in some way?
Will I loose root?
And is your version compatible with mine? Meaning the locale files, languages etc?
Btw what would the original OTA do to my stock rom if it wont find the app? Will it boot into the recovery as did for the one guy in the thread before? Or it would just skip the files?
If it really just dont patch what it wont find I would wait
Perdita you seen the update what else is fixed as just the G-sensor, since that I fixed now manually and if thats the only change, no need for me to update kinda?
Latest PATCH updates about 100 files, so I don't think it shows changes G-calibration. I think that if you remove stocks with root, you will have errors with every patch that updates those files, so OTA updates that touches those files will fail too.
You will loose root for a while because you must re-root again (in my case I have update superuser application too).
About warranty, I don't know if you have root, and removed some applications from Stock ROM, you will have problems with warranty now?¿?¿?
Perdita2000,
Well with the one click root and unroot I wont loose the warranty .
So perdita . you sau I wll get errors. But that means I will brick my phone? Wont boot or just wont update? Or just errors and will upadte and skip files.
And thanks for the answer
You can't not update using standard OTA because it will try to patch files missing on your phone. That's all, you can't use HTC patches if you removed software to be patched...
I have tried and... files are not skiped, UPDATE just doesn't install...
Perdita2000,
Ah thanks soo much for the info When I get out of work I will bug you more
Perdita thanks for your asisstance .
But I was luckily able to get the apps back.
here is how (all at own risk!):
1. Find them . I found a suitable original non patched rom and extracted the apps I needed, in my case , STOCKS and WIDGET both APK and ODEX
2. Copy them with ROOT explorer to SYSTEM/APP (mount in RW)
3. Change permissions so they are the same as the other apps in that directory
4. Reboot (once or twice)
Maybe even the sense cache to erase and you have them back
This is what worked for me since I had no luck with the adb.exe :/
Now I am running the new update ....405.2 with ROOT and Stock rom (still with warranty )
Thanks PAGOT, but I'm running my own custom ROM without a lot of unusefull apps for me and a added apps and custom kernel to, so I want to update just files I have on my rom that's why a told you to use a custom UPDATE.zip.
Perdita2000
I can't for the life of me get the Android Market to launch using VEGAn-Tab. The setup of the ROM goes fine, but when I try to launch the app it force closes immediately - no chance to even put in my Google info.
I've tried making a backup from my phone, I've tried downloading both the APK for 2.2.11 and the zip to flash from the internet, I've tried the file included in this thread which apparently helped someone else. I also tried changing permissions on the Vending.apk file to 777 (yes, extreme), even tried another version - 2.2.6 I believe. I've tried the clear cache and uninstall update "fixes" but considering I've never been able to launch this app those aren't available options.
What can I do? It works on other ROMs but CM isn't really tablet ready and I'm not a fan at all of TnTLite.
Bump.
Spent the last couple days trying to recover from bricking my tablet so I've been ignoring this thread, but I've got it running again. I would REALLY like to run VEGAn-Tab, but without this fix I'm going to have to throw in the towel and use another ROM.
So, I got an Atrix a few days ago and decided that it would be a good idea to root it. I ran the GingerBreak.exe file that i found on this site. I followed the instructions to the letter and got a reboot when it was done. It now has an app on there called Superuser, as it is supposed to. To the best of my knowledge the root was sucsessfull, however, I try and install CWM recovery, so that i can install something other than MotoBlur, and when i click the app to install from my sd card it tells me that for my own protection i can only run apps from trusted places. I have seached through as many forums as my eyes can handle and if anyone can tell me how to get this damb thing to work the way i want it to.

Be right with you one sec...
Ok, sorry, first check to see if you have the option to check unknown sources, under the settings -> Application Settings.
Furthermore, I think the best way for you to do it and also get you comfortable with the file structure of your new phone would be to download Root Explorer & SQLite Editor from the market. Yes, I know they cost a few $$ but you will use them both in the future, and they are well worth it.
Once those are installed, use Root Explorer to navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Click on settings.db and it will open with SQLite Editor.
Select "secure"
Change the value of "instal_non_market_apps" from 0 to 1, by holding down on 0 and selecting edit field. Save Changes, and back out to Root Explorer and exit.
Phone may require a re-boot.
You should now be good to go for installing non market .apk files.
Plus, now that you know how to do all that, you can also try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=980636
After getting CWM installed, I would suggest installing a P-ROM, such as Gingerblur or GladAtrix. These will de-odex your system and get rid of the bloatware:
Gingerblur:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991595
GladAtrix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1019097
Also, you may want to attempt to unlock the boot loader (if your on a US AT&T Atrix), that way once true ROMs start coming out, you can flash them too.

You gotta get something enabled called sideloading working. look for something called gladenable http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1017373 that'll do it or grab droid explorer http://de.codeplex.com/ that will force the install from your comp without sideloading enabled.
You can also check you have root by using the following free app from the Market:

Hi can you unroot ?
I was like you at first. I rooted a couple days ago but I couldn't download any untrusted sources apps. I was gonna go the sideloading route or use gladenabler or something. But I ran out of time near a pc to load all that stuff. So I was searching root android apps on the market and came across one called Non-Market apps enabler. It costs $1.39 or something. I was skeptical of it but I said since so cheap, let me try it out. I downloaded n installed. The app works flawlessly n like a charm. It brought the option into settings to check off allow untrusted sources download n install. It works. Ever since then, I'm now downloading any n every app I want. From the market or not. This is the fastest way to get the option checkbox untrusted sources into your rooted phone. I thought it was b.s. Bit it really works and I don't have to do all that sideloading or putting glandenabler or all that into my phone. I have the checkbox marked off now n I download what I want. Good luck. N remember, it's called Non-market apps enabler. I'm on froyo 2.2.2 build 4.1.8.3 , rooted using gingerbreak and it worked for me instantly!
Hi everyone! I'm a n00b here and I installed recently the [ROM][RC4b][10.09.2011] Gingerbread 2.3.3 with HTC Sense 2.1+. It was working OK but now it's making me some kind of troubles with the bluetooth that I cannot fix and I was hoping if somebody could help me.
When I connect the HTC Legend to the bluetooth of my car (it's not a separated bluetooth, it's part of the car) the phone crashes with a com.android.phone error and asks me to put the PIN of the SIM card. It's not a complete reboot.
I've tried to whipe it but it doesn't works. At first this happened when I my HTC Sense account, but now it seems to happen when Market updates to Google Play (always), and I cannot stop this process. I've tried, whit the Root Explorer, to erase the Market Updater o change permissions, but it stills updates.
I've searched this error on the web and I only found threads about Samsung, so I don't know if the fixes for Samsung will work.
So, my questions are
Is there any way to stop the updating of the Market?
Has somebody fixed this issue?
Exists any other ROM with Gingerbread for Legend? I've tried other ROMs but 2.2 is so boring and Cyanogen... It's excessive for me.
Thanks for the answers!!
I've used ogos gingerbread for a long time, I've never had bt issues like your describing, the only thing I can suggest is you are flashing a bad zip file.
Try doing a zip check with a zip manager like 7zip or similar.
I'm order to stop market, u need to either freeze marketupdater.apk or rename the file, its located in /system/app you need s-off or unlocked boot loader (hboot 1.02).
I think ogos is the only gingerbread with sense available (please correct me if I'm wrong) , everything else Is a variation of cyanogen.

I have renamed MarketUpdater.apk and it still updates, I tried to erase it (before, not now, I've made a new flash) and Market updates to Google Play. Is there another way? I have the unlocked HBOOT 1.02 but I'm not S-OFF, I don´t know if this last thing affects...
EDIT: The 7zip tests says that the ROM is OK

Did you reboot your phone after renaming?
P..s. what did you rename it too? I always rename by changing .apk to .bak
I think you might have to clear dalvik cache too.
As you may have heard, unlocked hboot 1.02 is pretty much s-off radio and sim lock and some other little bits is only still locked

On my S-On the only way to stop market updater is to prevent it from going online by means of Avast's firewall option.

I renamed it to MARKETUPDATE22.BAK, but it stills update. That's confusing, at least for me, I thought that it won't update again to Google Play. Of course I made a reset.
I didn't tried to wipe the Dalvik. I'll try and tonight I'll proof it with my car.
:what: hum mm I'm at a loss too.
Can I assume that you still have old market as in not yet updated to play store? Before disable updater?
Before this unlocked bootloader thing I know that old market that came with rom was protected and didn't get replaced not sure now, haven't tried that but You might be able to still uninstall new market from settings manage apps.

Try this, it seems to work for me.

I found this posted over at the HTC Aria forum by user mtnlion and thought somebody might be interested. You can turn off the market updater (which is responsible for bringing the new market back over and over) by going to terminal emulator and typing:
Code:
$ su
# pm disable com.android.vending.updater
This can be re-enabled by doing the same as above but typing enable instead of disable. I've tested it and it appears to persist after reboot. If you already have the new market you can go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All > Market > Uninstall Updates. This will revert you to the old market. Do it after disabling updater.
This doesn't stop automatic updates of apps according to the other thread. I'm sure some of you already know about this but hopefully it'll help somebody

Hi to everyone! Unfortunately, the pm disable com.android.vending.updater doesn't work and still updates. I hadn't tried to connect again because my car was in the mechanic, tomorrow I'll try again to see if Dalvik's has worked.
Thanks to everyone!
I don't know if this was suggested, but how about backing up the updater app, and from there remove it?
If you ever need it again, resort to the backup.
Not sure if it'll work, but logic states that there isn't a reason it shouldn't.
Hi! After cleaning Dalvik's caché looks to be working fine, after 2 days it doesn't crash. I don't know if this is really solved but hey, let's try it.

Sorry guys, but this is happening to me agains. It's been working for a week, there's no significant changes on the phone, Play Store updates and it seems it has no relation with the crashes but... happens again.
Any idea?
