I recently updated my rooted Eris running nonSensical ROM to the laest version of the Market and now when I search for any applications (games or apps) I get no results found.
If i search for books or movies I do get results. Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have tried clearing cache, clearing data, and even doing an uninstall on updates to the Market app.
The uninstall does take it back to e previous version, but no results found still. Then after restarting the Market, it auto updates to the latest version again.
Am i going to need to reload the ROM to get the market going again?
Try the procedure from this post here. This cleared up the market issues I was having. Also, it may be my imagination, but after doing this, things seem to load a bit faster in the market for me. Just a thought!

this is not for noobs though ... i have no freakin idea what file to put where and what to do? i just downloaded stock FW and kernel, flashed it via odin on my samsung galaxy s2, and after the flashing my market just don't respond. i can't find facebook, gmail, google+, zedge, nothing. it's just as if my account has been banned... i only get some homebrewed apps shown when i search for proper apps. and since my phone is not rooted, i believe i don't have the premission to move any system files ?

I am pulling my hair out here. I followed all the steps to install CM7 including selecting Google Apps. After booting up it prompts me for my Google account info and it signs in.
Now the problems begin...
I cannot install anything from the Market. Everything comes up as download is unsuccessful.
However, if I go to the web market, I can install things from there and it works. I have cleared the market and download cache.

Tried reinstalling GAPPS? I had issues with contacts not appearing and no Google accounts listed. I couldnt even add a Google account. Everything was fixed when I booted into recovery and reapplied the GAPPS. What was weird was I could still make/receive calls and texts.
Yup, tried reinstalling Google Apps via CWM. When it reboots it asked me which apps I want to install, but wont install them.
Yes, I have network connectivity. I can install GMail from web market and get my email to work.

Not sure really. May want to post this in the ROM thread.
May have already done so, but I would wipe to factory, cache, dcache, and see if that fixes it. And I came from the Bionix FROYO build running the froyo bootloader. If thats of any help. Also, applying it in ROM Manager would not work for some reason. So I DLed the ROM and GAPPS to my SD and applied manually in recovery after wiping to factory and everything else.

As for the issue, try going to accounts and sync making sure that background data is enabled and make sure you have things syncing to that account. Then remove the account reboot the phone and re-add it through the accounts and sync.
also try re downloading the package could be corrupt

If that doesn't work try wiping your phone.
Seems like this is with my account as my XOOM is doing the exact same thing.
Called Google for support, they cant figure it out either. Escalating to someone else.

Why not. The ROM thread said to not report bugs...not to ask how to fix something. The thread is full of being asking for help to fix issues.
it is not a CM7 issue at this point as it is happening with two different devices and even odin'ing back to a stock rom didn't solve it.
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.
I hope I'm posting this in the correct forum...
Ok, here goes: Using a Moto DX2, running GB 2.3.3, Rooted but w/stock ROM, Android Market v3.1.5
I have several "free" apps that appear under My Apps at the end of the list under the "Not Installed" heading. These are bloat apps I uninstalled using TIBU. How can I stop them from showing up as not installed? I've cleared the cache and data for the Market numerous times and even reverted back to an older Market which then self updates back to 3.1.5.
Also, when I visit the market from my Windows PC, under My Apps, it shows a handful of apps as being installed that are not on the phone - some never were and some were but we uninstalled - some of them are the bloat and some are apps I tried out and did not like and uninstalled. How do I get this to reflect what is actually installed on the phone?
Thanks.
[UPDATE] I installed the 3.2.0 version of the Market and the issue is the same as the 3.1.5 version.
my idiot market so like to “downloading......” and never start，2.x or 3.0.x also like than ，I am really angry！！！
I might have accidentally stumbled upon the solution myself. I read some where to try clearing the google services framework cache so I tried it and after rebooting, the market app no longer showed those apps as not installed - they were totally gone off the list just like I wanted. Now the Android Market Web issue is still the same, but I think that's an issue w/the site and not my Moto DX2. I also cleared the market cache at the same time before rebooting my phone - prior attemps at just clearing the market cache alone had no effect.
Hello. When using the Marketplace app, everything works, except when I try to load "My Apps". I get a completely blank page. Nothing there. I have 50+ apps installed through the market that I now cannot update.
I load the marketplace, hit the menu, select my apps, nothing.
I have uninstalled the Market update, and when I try to load my apps on the old version of the market app, it tells me a server error has occurred, and asks me to retry. I can connect and use the market on my PC and on the phone's browser.
I am running stock 2.3.4, rooted only. I have unrooted. I have tried clearing the cache and data, uninstalling the update, I have reset the phone(cleared data), and used RSD to SBF 2.3.4. I have tried switching DNS servers, both wifi and 3G. ANY help or suggestions are welcome.
How can I completely clear the phone and reset to factory new condition?
SBFing is best factory reset but you could SBF back to Froyo then try updating from there. Also make sure you can view your apps in the market using the web interface, it could very well be an issue on their side.
I think it is a problem with a backed up file. I logged in with another Gmail account and I am able to access my apps. SO I guess I am going to try and SBF, then tell Google NOT to restore, as well as the backup assistant. See if that works...
Good idea, don't restore anything just sign in you could very well be on to something. Let me know how it works out. Also if it does work and you want to find out what went wrong try restoring one thing at a time, after each time check to see if you can still see your apps.
Did you try to clear cache for the market app?

The Market works perfectly if I use any other account except the one with my apps. Can I have installed too many apps? I know quite a few are not showing up on the market web site, Titanium for example...
I have the same problem. When i try to look at my apps it says something along the lines of applications and games owed by this account will appear here and it doesn't show any of my apps. I sbf'd from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4, deleted and reinstalled the market, cleared data and cache, all that. But I can access my apps on the website so I think its just a market problem

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:
