I had the new market when i update to 4.1.57, but i wanted root. so i flashed to 4.1.26 then did the retain root thing and updated again to 4.1.57.
but now i have the old market, i cant find a way to update it because the market isn't searchable/updateable like gmail or google maps.
how do i get the new market?
it actually will eventually load up the new one...i dont know exactly why it gives the gray one at start but everytime i flashed or stuck roms on, it would eventually go back to that and about 3 or 4th time on the market it will be the green one.

This is what did it for me:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
Find 'Market', force stop, and clear data/cache.
Run Market now and it should be the newer one.

i tried that and it didnt work. i guess i'll just wait for it to change to the new one, it's just annoying!
thanks for the help guys
i got it.
I did what dcarpenter said and i also force stopped the "Market Updater" app. then when i started it up again i got the new one.
It's funny because I installed it once but yesterday I installed the alien Rom because I couldn't install the Camera.apk file so I just started from scratch installing a Rom with the camera.apk already install........so I went to the market and see it's the new one, I hate it.......so I went to applications and deleted market/ the update market file too........then place older version of android market in system/app (r/w) using supermanager and also selected the permission button. Then clicked install. "application not installed"!!!!!! Really so then I was without a Market app so I had to reinstall the Alien Rom. Things are so complicated with this device the Evo you could just replace the apk you're good to go. Deoxed
update: I got it. talk about head------ache. all I did was deleted the market app and replace with the "right" old market.apk file. then i had to delete the updater market.apk file because it kept updating the market app. so I did that and got a error type message which closed the market app down. so Then i went installed the update market.apk file again which didn't install so I said screw this deleted the update market.apk file went back to market app and it works now.... so I dunno
update2: I knew it was too good to be true. Yeah the market.apk installed right but it doesn't download apps. I also tried different market.apk version, then it force close again. Screw this i'm just going to find another Rom that hopefully let's you simply install a APK file. after googling, all this stuff about use ADB/android SDK to install a simple apk app this isn't for me. *sad face So yeah I'll just settle with the new android market forget customizing my phone yep.......

Just push it to /system/app. You never have to click on install application

just "push" it to system/app? I heard that term before but not really sure what you mean unless just drop the market.apk file off in system/app without installing it. Well right now I have the new android market installed with the update.apk file.
Push/Copy. Same thing really, you should just be able to delete out the app and copy the old market into /system/app. Might not hurt to delete the market in the davlik cache as well.

10 posts? umm yea lol. well what I did was went to supermanager(explorer) then went to the old market.apk that's on my sd card click installed ----> "application not installed" maybe I have to install directely on the phone? Ok let's try that--------> "application not install" like does the photon require a "special" type of apk app that only works on the Photon. gosh. Like does your rom have to be doexed or something?
I'm running Alien1 rom......but can someone help because now I'm without android mark
update: wait I think I'm getting somewhere. I deleted the market.apk app then paste the "older" version. then hit run and boom the newer version installed. hmmmmm must not have the right "old" version.
Not exactly sure what my post count has to do with anything. However I'm glad you figured it out. Just an FYI though, when you update an app that comes preloaded on a rom it won't replace that app instead it'll append a "1" onto the new filename and use that instead hence why you needed to delete the updated file before it would recognize the old market that you pushed into the /system/app folder.

10 posts or not, he seems to know more than you about this, and he is right.You take the apk file and move it to system/app in your phone memory. You can do this with adb push, or use root explorer to put it there. Don't assume that because someone has a low post count they don't know what they are talking about.
You can also uninstall updates from the application manager. It'll re-update to the latest release, though.

I already knew this. That's why i went ahead and replace the files. My problem was why isn't the app working correctly. That seems to be a buggy phone issue because the apk file is in system/app
you can always uninstall the market update then use titanium backup to freeze market updater. When I did it on my Photon I installed the older version of Market (2.2something...) and then used terminal to run about 3 commands that disabled market updater. cant for the life of me find the instructions I followed, but then perhaps my post count isnt high enough for the OP either. Because you know in order to know ANYTHING you have to have a high post count.

Whether or not you're rooted, you can grab the new updated Market .apk file from anybody who has posted.
Simple command through adb: adb install -r c:\downloads\Market.apk .
This should move the apk file into /data/app, which should not require root access and will load the updated version of the Market.
This method is used for most of Google products which come on the device in /system/app, but later an updated apk is released. The internal android package manager knows to grab the most recent version and to check both /data/app and /system/app in order to determine the most recent version.
Hope that helps!
My girlfriend's Evo 3D is in the same boat, still on the old market, so she doesn't have access to the books, music, or movies. She's a bit leary of me downloading an app from a forum (I know, really no harm), is there a way to force the update from within the market itself? If not, any reliable download links?
Edit: Actually, I'm curious. Does anyone that just has a stock Evo3D have the new market? Seems all the talk on the forums (after doing several searches) is about downloading the new market apk, not getting pushed an update.

I just bumped the new market for you. It's in the theme and apps section here on this forum. Check it out. Nd you don't have to be rooted just uninstall old market and install this one.
Or if your rooted and you are not near a computer just just root explorer ( or whatever else you use to access the root of your phone) and go to system/apps and search for vending apk delete that one and replace it with the one you just downloaded. Set permissions to
XX
X
X
Then you shld be good to go. If the new market doesn't show up just reboot your phone

To clarify, as I posted above, you don't have to remove the old market. System partition is locked for non root users. Only have to load the new market apk file into the /data/app directory.
The package manager is intelligent enough to check version numbers on both .apk files and determine which one is the newest version.
Also, as quoted in my previous post above, this is the same approach taken by any application shipped stock on a system that is later updated. The updated apk file is placed in /data/app and the original stock apk is left in /system/app as the /system partition is considered read only and should not be modified, by Android operating standards.

I'm on stock rooted ROM and the market update has not been pushed to me.
On my NS4G, the market update came along with Google Wallet and the Android 2.3.7 OTA.
Hope that extra information helps eliminate an extra step for those leary of modifying their system partition and provides more information to the internal workings of Android!
No duhh so you don't have to delete it. All this time

Guys, i have a problem. Ever since update to newest version of Market i cant return to old 2.3.6 version any longer. Its very important because here we dont have paid apps so im using Market Enabler which only works on older version. Until now i have been using oldmarket app but it doesnt work any more. Tried this and this but still nothing. Tried to delete the Vending.apk and replace it with older but still nothing, it just says market isnt instaled on phone. How to get it back?? Thank you

Its a question of deleting Vending.apk and Market Updater .apk from System/APPs
Replace Vending .apk with an old version .
No more no less than that .
jje
Thats what i thought but after trying so many time it seems this is not the case. When I delete it and replace it with root explorer nothing happens after the reboot, still the new market.
Then you are doing something wrong .
Root Explorer not deleting the file vending apk ??
Old vending apk not old ??/
Market updater left on phone ??
Delete files first reboot phone no market now = confirms deleted .
jje
Everything is correct. With root explorer go to system/app and delate market updater and phonesky.apk (no more vending.apk, this is replacment), download old Vending.apk 2.3.6 and paste it in system/app Reboot, still the new market I think its the problem with this new market, i never had this problem before the update, could easly replaced it. Now, its not working anymore.

Tried that also, doesnt work. I was using it before v 1.1.6 but now when i use it, nothing happens. Tried the new version 1.2 but i cant even open that version, it says something about closing apps that block adds. Im not using addfree or anything like that. Im on Criskelo rom V32. There are more people that started to say that they cant download nothing or change market anymore. Market v 3.3.11
The new market (3.3.11) has a new name, Phonesky.apk. Maybe you can remove that, and then install old market again?

Thanks, i know, there is no more Vending.apk i repleaced Phonesky.apk.
Vending.apk for old market version? and Phonesky.apk for new market version? Thanks for inform.
ok, I downloaded a cheeky .apk of a paid for app so I could play around with it before buying, now I've got a bit of a problem though. I want to buy the app but when I go into the market place it shows up as purchased already and worse still, if I try and download the update or instal after uninstalling it throws up an error. I've tried uninstalling and downloading etc. but no joy. At this point I just want to pay for the damned thing and get my updates, any clues on how I might go about doing that??
What on must do is first backup he old marketplace using titanium backup. Then freeze the market updater. Uninstall the current market you have. Put this old version of the market that I attached under system/app. Reboot and purchase the app. Then restore original market and unfreeze market updater.
Edit: Added apk

Excellent I had some problems getting the 'vending.apk' to install, both the version you uploaded and one I found on the web but got around it by upgrading to ICS which seemed to come with the old market place on it
