I was doing an update from the app store, on of the downloads seemed like it was hung on the install. Rebooted the phone, when I went back in Super User, Titainum Backup, Android App Store, Amazon App Store, HTC Sense plus a ton of other apps are missing, Astro file manager was still working and it looks like they are still on the SD card, but not being read by the apps manager. I cannot download or install anything from the web. Any ideas.
You might have to factory reset that sucker

Update when I tried to manually connect using adb I get error: device offline
Trying factory reset and it is just sitting at the white HTC screen after reboot :-(
I am now afraid to try another power button reset.
Well VZW is sending me a refurb phone tomorrow. Since they did not ask if I rooted (which I did), once they get my old will they check for root. The phone totally is F***ked only reboots while trying to install the OTA. Just a word caution. I hope I TBU re-installed and get all my apps back. :-(

Ok not sure the best way to explain this but here goes
I installed the Sky+ app on my wildfire when i first got the phone. Using App monster i made a back up of the app into an APK and copied the APK to my pc for safe keeping. I tried several custom roms but i have gone back to wild puzzle.
installed Sky+ again on my phone, but this time i did it through a file manager using the apk file and the app works fine.
Now when i go into the market,it doesn't recognize that Sky+ is already installed. it says i can install Sky+.
I have tried titanium backup, but it sent my phone into a boot loop, so i'm going to read up on that a bit more before i mess around with that app again lol
Can anyone help or suggest something please. this happens with all the apps i have installed from APKs
Thanks for reading (and sorry its long)

You probably won't be able to restore market links. I have no idea why titanium backup led you to a bootloop, it's one of the most brilliant pieces of software I've ever used. Try it again. It can restore market links.
yeh i can see it being one of the best apps out there, i just need to do some more reading (im still fairly new to all this)
So,
I decided to root my nt. Rooted using zergrush method. Everything worked fine no errors. Rebooted nook and now apps fc. App market fc's, my bible app fc's at startup as well. So i do have root access, but how do i fix these issues that started post root?
Ok, so no replies. I spent christmas eve trying everything I can think. I wiped and reloaded and re-rooted the nook, now the FC's in my user apps are gone. However when I use the Google Market I get this error: process com.android.vending has unexpectedly stop. This error only comes up when I try to update or install an app.
I have verified the files permissions are 644. I have tried clearing the app data and am coming up blank.
Anyone else have some ideas, if I can get market working I will be happy.
I kinda have the same problem. I get a FC only on reboot. The angry bird app works, so idk. Hope there is a fix.

I rooted yesterday and had the same issue with my bible app, eBay, flixter and others I had sideloaded previously. I still had the apks on my SD card so I uninstalled/reinstalled and in most cases it resolved the fc issue.
Yes, my problem fixed itself.

I was never able to resolve the issue regardless of how many time i 7 boot fail wipe and reroot and ota blocked. so i just used the extended return policy and returned it for a refund. if the bootloader gets unlocked or a custom recovery and ROM ever make it on the tablet I will buy one for my wife.
I switched to the Samsung 7.0 Tab plus.

So I have AOKP on my galaxy nexus 4.0.4. I made a back up and installed there JB AOKP to try it out. Lasted about 1.5 hrs. Then I restored with my CWR Backup. I made this back up on June 30. After I restored there was 3 apps thats didnt saw I purchased them when I did on friday. I have google checkout to prove it. I used titanium to restore the 3 missing apps but now in the play store it dont show them under MY APPS. Only when I search for them it shows them. What could cause this and how do I fix it? Theres no way I should have to buy them all over again. The werid thing is titanium worked fine and showed purchased in the play store but the other 3 apps didnt. Maybe its because I purchased titanium yesterday right before the i flashed JB AOKP. The other 3 were on friday.

go to titanium, and fix the market link of the three apps
I couldnt find that as a option. titianm is not as simple as my back up pro.
not working. i go to menu then market tools then market auto updates and it find the 3 apps. but it still dont show in play store. i think im ging back to myback up pro. was 10 times easier to use.
just "buy" them again from market, you won't be charged a second time
Maybe.....

I know this is kinda old but every time I try to download an app that I've purchased it doesn't show up as being purchased, and prompts me to buy it again. I tried just buying one of them again just to see what would happen and it gave me an error message saying I already owned the app, but it would not install. I've tried clearing cache/data, I've tried clearing the cache/dalvik cache via TWRP, I've tried installing an older version of Google play, I've tried clearing the cache/data for Google play services, I've tried factory resetting my phone twice, I've tried remotely installing the apps through Google play on a computer (it just says an unexpected error has occurred) I've tried deleting my Google account from the device and signing back in, and absolutely nothing seems to work. I'm on a OnePlus 5 running OxygenOS 5.1.1 (Android version 8.1) and I'm rooted using Magisk. I'm gonna try wiping the phone and reflashing the OS later today so I'll let you know how that goes but any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What worked for me with a similar issue was removing Google play store completely (with a root file manager or in twrp), reboot and then flash gapps again. After that the play store was working fine again.
P.s. the path to play store is /system/priv-app/phonesky
At least on my Android 8.1 device.

I just tried that, and when it didn't work I went through with re-flashing the operating system all together and I'm now running stock and it's STILL not working so I'm officially at a loss... Thank you for your suggestion though I actually hadn't thought of that.
I just rooted my Viper today, i deleted some bloatware, & now my Google Play Store isn't really working properly. It force closes!
I deleted Sprint ID, Google Wallet, Google Maps, Tags, Nascar, basically all the pointless apps that came with the phone..... Just uninstalled the actual apps, none of the foreground processes. The play store opens, shows my apps, but when I click to view the app, I get "THE APPLICATION GOOGLE PLAY STORE (PROCESS COM. ANDROID.VENDING) HAS STOPPED UNEXPECTEDLY. PLEASE TRY AGAIN" I've tried to uninstall & re-install the play store, but still get the same message.
Does anyone know how I could fix this problem???
Also, if i factory reset, will this affect my root or brick the phone? Did i loose the apps & their processes permanently?
Update your profile and prl. I had the same problem until I updated mine.
Or simpler, clear cache. That will probably solve it.
Work case, install the latest GAPPS from Cyanogenmod, the last one for ICS is dated 20120429 or something.
No factory reset will not affect you root it will just delete super user app..your root is still there
It will not brick you phone too..
You can try to change language of your device than start play store this may help sometime
we should polite enough to press thanks for everyone helped uS..
you are dead when you stop learning new things..
I'll try the gapps install..... everything else has failed me.
So none worked.....
I dont have a custom recovery, so installing GAPPS was basically a no go for me. I tried using ES File explorer, nope! I just unrooted the phone & going to take my chances at the sprint repair center. Since SU isnt on anymore, I should be fine right??

Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).
The same problem, but with a different device, is here:
