Hi!
I bought an x10 a week ago and have been trying various roms on it and it's fun.
I have a market problem with 2.1 roms modded or default and I have tried everything including formatting sd card and using xrecovery to format sys etc...
I cannot download apps from the market on any 2,1 roms only 2.2 and above work fine.
I see in all the 2.1 roms that the market has the history of downloaded apps but won't install them either so I would like to use root explorer and delete the market directory and hope to resolve this problem.
I have tried some 2.2 roms but I would like to use a 2.1 rom with working cam and find some cool themes but 2.1 roms are useless to me without market downloads.
please help if you know where the root directory of the market files are.
Thanks for your help
BTW I been to the website for a long time and got into phone mods on an old htc touch and thank the website and mods for hosting this great place.
Try using titanium backup, go market in the list and wipe data.
Also go to system, applications, manage application, find the market and uninstall updates.
Maybe that could help.....solves any issue i have had with the market.

Hi Mr Patchy Patch,
Thanks for your reply. Titanium backup did not work and I just used the program to wipe data and uninstall the market as suggested. (cool tip)
In xrecovery I also wiped all the choices available as well as went into the partition options and wiped everything I could there.
I have reset all phone data inside the phone and reset to factory settings in the phone with no luck. Uninstalled updates no luck
I have also used flashtool to install a generic rom with no luck in the spp installer.
I have also used sony pc suite to repair the phone and still I see I have downloads in my downloads in the market and they never complete when trying to install anything.
I am at a complete loss as to why I cannot install apps from the market on any 2.1 rom.
App installs work fine from 2.2 and up.
Any more ideas?
Cheers
Try deleting android and .android_secure folder of you sd card but make sure to copy those to a pc first.
Thanks for your reply,
I deleted the directories on SD card as recommended then went to xrecovery and wiped everything and installed factory x10 2.1 rom and setup connection and the market downloads still show the files I tried to download before and nothing will install in the app market.
Does anyone know of a 2.2 froyo rom that has everything working and some good menus?
2.3 with working cam etc??
I have no luck with phones
Maybe you can just go to your google market account and change your linked phone in the market that may be it.
Or uninstall market with manage application and use root manager clean all reference's to market
and reboot then reinstall market.apk. an sign in.
Make sure you have the market apk first.
Hi!
I tried root manager great program but no luck.
I wiped and uninstalled the vender and market update and changed my google id and no luck...
installing a generic rom either from xrecover or from the flashtool and the app downloads get stuck and never finish.
It appears I no longer have the download history on the new account with the old downloads and I guess I surrender.
I have no idea why I cannot download apps from the market on any 2.1 roms modded or generic.
Weird as hell
try opening your google talk app?

I have the same problem I've been stuck in this situation for a couple of days now and I've been searching the whole X10 forum for a solution. I've flashed to multiple 2.1 and 2.2 roms but the problem is still there. Seems like the download is running on the notification bar and in the market but nothing's happening at all. I even took out my SD card and it's still downloading. The Market.apk isn't eve listed on my phone when I want to clear the cache and uninstall the updates. I have no clue how this happened and I'm desperate to find a solution

after rooting my phone and removing what i wanted, i used root explorer to install some apps but the phone kept FC, now after using seus to restore my firmware when i go to the market it comes up STARTING DOWNLOAD but nothing is happening, can anybody help or is there a way to wipe everything then install with the official firmware?
make sure you havent removed google talk. market needs it
Just went to look for an app and my Market seems to have stopped working. The icon has changed and when I try to open it I get an error saying "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone".
I was using the 2.2 Market (from Modaco) and have just tried to install it again but upon trying I get an error saying "Application Not Installed".
The only thing I've done to the phone since last night when it was woking properly was try the BFS version of Flykernal-11c (I was running the non BFS version).
I also use AppBrain but I can't see how that would have broken it.
Maybe Google have somehow stopped 2.2 Market from running on run on 2.1 ROMs?
Anyway, does anyone how can I get the old Market back without restoring from a Nandroid back-up or flashing the ROM again? Is there a 2.1 Market apk available?
Thanks,
Lee

Yeah, I'll see if I can find an earlier version somewhere.
I can figure out most problems myself but I must admit, this one has me stumped!
Not having much luck so I'm restoring from Nandroid.
Hopefully there's only a few things I'll have to reinstall... but AppBrain will help there
I'll report back about the Market issue.
All working now. Only have 4 apps to re-install and 3 phone numbers to change. No biggie, but pity there wasn't an easier way to fix it.
I cant download apps from the market on my x10a 2.1update1.
New thing I have done recently was the multi touch, JIT, and install xrecovery. After that I noticed it just stays at "downloading" but it never starts. I did delete some files to make it faster according to one of the threads here but could I deleted something by mistake to mess up the downloading in the market?
Yup you deleted some Google app(s). What you need to do is find and flash someone's gapps.zip in xrecovery. Try flashing Wolfbreak's CM-4.5.7-Gapps.zip. You can find that in his thread in android development.
Ok. I bought this G Tab knowing that I would have to install ROMs, tweak .prop files, NVFlash, CWM, RootExplorer, etc. No problem there.
But now I have had it with this new Market. Many (if not most) applications are showing as incompatible with my tablet even though I already installed them. My beloved Word With Friends now requires an update, but I can not install it from the Market as the new Market believes the app is incompatible with my ROM. That is the last draw as I cannot play it anymore.
So does anybody have a market.zip that has Market 2.3.6 so I can go back to the old market? I have the .apk files but I think I need something that could install via CWM (BL 1.2) since all the apks do not work if you install them by themselves (they all FC). I would freeze market updater so it does not upgrade again to 3.x.
Thanks

Installed the GAPPS and it did not install the market. Tried uninstalling Market and Market updater first and still no go.
It looks like something is blocking the old market from being installed. I extracted it and installed it myself but it then FC everytime it started.
Very frustrating. This is the kind of crap that is going to kill android. It just looks like Google is purposedly trying to lock out aftermarket ROMs from accessing Market apps.
This happens to me frequently. The solution Ive found is to stop the market and clear data. After this is done, launch the market and youll no longer get the error. Sometimes Ill have to do this 3-4 times a day. Good luck.
Interestingly enough, I think I got a workaround. Through some investigation, I found out that the problem was that many apps were being filtered because of the screen resolution. So I started working with the density property in the build.prop to find out if there was a magic number that will make things work like they used to. It appears that I did find that number and it is 160.
So I updated the build.prop line with Root Explorer:
qemu.sf.lcd_density=160
After that I cleared the Market app data and the Google Services Framework data. Rebooted and everything that was previously installed seems to be recognized and the applications started updating again.
hi
i erased all my sd card
and from that there is deleted market and all the others app
my android version is 2.3.4 on HTC HD2
iii tryed so many tips to run the android ics version and the others but i cant find no one of toolkit nand that can work,, all of those were crashed or something similar
S im searching how to backup my market or how to run another android version like ics or the similar i have 2.3.4 that includes market
if you can help with some links that are in work ,
IF IS THERE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS FOR THIS JUST HELP ME !!!
If you google "android market apk" you will find many links to download the market. Put this on your SD card and install it.
As far as the backup, Google will backup your settings, including what was installed and will restore upon a factory wipe/reconfigure of your handset (google account).
I also use appbrain - will show you what you have installed and you can easily re-install apps on a new phone.
