I have a G Tablet that I've been running on stock firmware until today. I had downloaded a couple of apps (Angry Birds and something else I never used) but most of the time my tablet sat and waited until I heard there was a reasonably stable Honeycomb ROM to install. Today I took the plunge.
Installation of ClockWork went without a hitch. Installation of the ROM (GTabComb 3.3) went without a hitch. I booted up the first time and entered the GMail account I've had for years. I got the "Unable to process purchase" error. I googled, I found a thread that walked me through deleting the account info and clearing the cache info. Then, instead of re-entering my old GMail account, I set up a whole new account from the G Tablet. On finishing it gave me an error that the account was created, but it was unable to store the account info on my tablet. I still get the purchase error. I've tried the work-around a few threads mention, but the app market website says I have no device associated with my account. I've gone into Settings>About and all the entries for type of tablet, etc. are blank. I'm guessing this is the problem (but realize my guess could be totally off).
Is there anything I can do that I haven't already? I've read posts about the market until my eyes are bleeding, and I've found nothing that will let me get past this.

I've been having a weird problem with my Vibrant for the past ten hours or so, and can't seem to find a solution. I was running stock rooted JI6 and attempted to apply some app updates through the Market, but began getting network connection errors. I gave it several minutes, and when it refused to let me in, I restarted the phone, which had no effect. I did an ODIN restore and reverted to factory settings, and the phone refused to sign me into my Google account, saying it couldn't establish a reliable connection. I hunted around and eventually got signed in using the YouTube app workaround, but now when I try to access the Market it says the server is unavailable.
I haven't heard any buzz about a major outage, so I assume this is not something on Google's end. For the record, my connection is fine (tried to sign in to Market on both 3G and WiFi, no go, but browser and other internet-connected apps work fine, as do Google's sync services once I've managed to sign in through YouTube), and my Google account appears entirely normal PC-side. I saw an old thread about people having problems in China etc. after Google was partially blocked there, but as I'm in the United States, I don't think that applies. I am completely at a loss, and now I'm stuck with a factory-settings phone with no apps because I can't get into the Market.
I've followed the XDA forum for a couple months now, but this is my first post. I'll be heading to a T-Mobile store to ask them about it later today, but I'm hoping you folks will be able to shine some light on the subject in the meantime and perhaps even save me the trouble. I'm still pretty new to smartphones and Android, so go much beyond rooting and ODIN 101 and I'm quite ignorant. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for your attention!
Market works fine on my end. Try clearing the data on market that has helped me in the past. From home screen menu/ settings/ applications/ manage apps/ market/ clear data and cache reboot.
There's no entry for the Market in my apps list, since it's pre-installed.

No change.
Market web installs from "market android com" never start. ('m not allowed to post links)
Under "My Devices" in the settings page it shows my Atrix, It has a "Registered on" date (today) but it doesn't have a "Last Used" date (it shows a dash).
I have followed all the suggestions on the help page. (log in, log out)
My Market App version is 2.3.2.
Google Talk works. The Market App works. Clearing Data and Cache for the Market doesn't help any.
I'm signed in with a regular Google account. (not an apps account)
Any suggestions?
This might sound obvious, but have you tried restarting it or resetting it?
Yep. Lots of restarts.
Does the market work on anyone else's Atrix or is it just me?
I read somewhere that if you open Google Talk and sign out then sign back in, it should get the market web installs working because of a communication problem.

Yeah, that's on the help page. Didn't work.
Empty market cache, and uninstall market upgrades (if any). Had the same problem before with other phones, I do not think this is atrix specific.
Getting the market to upgrade afterwards required some manual steps as well. Too lazy to look that up now though, just google it.

I emptied the cache and uninstalled updates. On the first launch I got the old market, on the second launch it had upgraded back to the new one. I also tried a reboot. Still doesn't work. Good idea though, thanks.
Bump! Any fixes for this? I'm having the same issues. The Market web store even lists my phone being last used on Feb 25 (the last day it was pushing app downloads from my computer). However, when I download apps from my phone, it shows up on my account online.

I thought I was having this same problem, but I was in battery saver mode and had auto-sync disabled. After re-enabling it, the downloads just began automatically.
I had the same issues at first and tried all th above fixes and the ones on the google help page. nothing worked at first. i waited a few hours and tried downloading again and everything worked fine. i can't really explain how but it just started working.
I have had this problem for 5 days =/ Now I just chrome to phone the link and open it with market =/ I have done all the above, contacted Google and posted at Motorola Site. Nothing works.
Darn I am having the same issue. Just got my Atrix an hour or two ago...so we will see what happens. I'll try and keep you updated.
Edit: Mine just started working, so I don't know what the problem with yours is. Hope you get it worked out.
I have same problem here with my Hd2 DFT android Rom maket works fine but it never start downloading any apps :/ please some help ??!!
Do you have apps/the market to update only on wifi? And you haven't opened the apps to have them generate an, "I'm here", marker for the market to send you stuff, when you were hooked up to wifi?
I wondered the same thing...
Good news guys Google talk was not working for me so I re flashed my phone and reconfigure it now Google talk work and market too I don't know if it will works for you but for me it working great now hope it help a bit

Port 5228
This may not help everyone, but I ran into this same problem.
Each day, my downloads weren't sent to my phone and my gmail wasn't pushing consistently, but by the time I got home, everything seemed to be working again. I noticed that I was also unable to log into google talk on my office's wifi (which seems to be the key to getting everything else to work). A coworker with a samsung android phone was having the same problem.
We worked with our network administrator to unblock certain ports on the wifi firewall. We finally resolved this issue by opening port 5228. Now everything is pushing correctly. See if this port is blocked on your wifi.
The weird thing that kept throwing me off is that even if I switched off wifi and used ATT, it was still having problems for a period of time.
So after having Motoblur crap out on me on this 2 day old Atrix because it wouldn't let me remove my facebook & twitter accounts, I decided to factory reset the phone.
I tried logging in with my Motoblur account, kept giving me an error (the website login also gave me an error), I created a new account and went through the setup process. (really hating the Motoblur requirement)
Now I'm in the default homescreen, logged in to my google account and Market, allowed it to update itself, and i won't let me update or install any applications. I only get a small note on the notification bar saying:
"Download was unsuccessful, please try again"
It does this on both WiFi and cellular data.
This phone was not rooted or modified in any way beyond installing an app via the Sideload Wonder Machine.
did I just get a bum phone? I'm fixing to go to ATT's store and have it replaced and see what happens there.
Most peculiarly, after two hard resets and it not working, I want into the att store and sure enough it starts working and updating apps as usual... as if to spite me. I am still puzzled as to what caused it, however. Maybe some delay in the market's authentication after the initial sign in.
I won't have my Atrix till tomorrow. But when I had this same issue on my Evo, I would go into settings, manage applications, select Market, then click on Clear Data and Clear Cache. Like I said I don't know if the Atrix even has these options in the settings menu. But if it does, give this a try next time this happens.

I am having the same problem after a Factory Reset. It's been 2 days now and I still haven't been able to push apps from the Market Web Store. I have tried the procedure described above several times as well.
I had the same problem, I ended up taking mine back to the AT&T store and they replaced it with a new one. Will see how this one goes.
Anyone experiencing this problem?
This started to happen 2 days ago, when I open Google Play Store app. I just get a "Server Error" message with a retry button.
I tried to clear the app. data, reinstall the apk and even restore the tablet to factory settings to re-root. It's not a connection problem, my phone is connecting fine to Play Store. I cleared dalvik cache too, problem persist.
No trouble here. Running SD Version of CM7.
Mine is still working fine on cm7.
I forgot to mention, I'm using the usual root from SD card provided on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
I'm not on CM7 or anything.
Looks like it's time to try CM7, even after a factory reset and re-root, I get the old Market app and the server error message still shows up.
EDIT
I don't know what is happening here, I installed CM7 and I'm still getting the same error!!!
So guys, I found a solution, it seems that Google started to play dirty with us, I mean, with people who buy android devices outside their country of origin. This problem is described on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24070500#post24070500
This may be a problem to people like me, who lives in a country where some Android devices are not available for sale, or in my case, they are hefty overpriced by local stores, so I just buy off eBay which is much cheaper lol.
I don't understand why Google started to make this, it's so stupid. The solution is, install MarketEnabler and fake your region, and like magic, Android Market (or Google Play Store, whatever) will work again.
Just to make things clear, I tried CM7, CM9, stock + root, wipe caches, data etc and NOTHING worked, Market continued to show the server error message whatever the rom I had.
People outside US or other countries where B&N is not present, be advised, you may encounter some problems with Google Play Store from now on.
No connection from outside the U.S.
I have a NT (Rooted only via SD method) and live in Sweden and haven't had problems. Love it.
However, while here on a course in Switzerland I suddenly got the same problem. Server error...
I freaked out and began clearing cache, data, reset the google account everything. No luck.
A fellow nook owner from no less than Switzerland told me to be patient and try from the hotel wifi instead of the company guest wifi. Needless to say it worked just fine from the Hotel WiFi when I got back.
Whew.
So my advice is to give it a try from another hotspot and see if you have better luck. It could be getting blocked.
Confirming this error. I am also getting this "Server Error" with a retry button. Haven't tried MarketEnabler. Will report if it works.
I have seen similar posts on xda on different device forums.
Yes. MarketEnabler DOES fixes the problem. Just browsed to ME's googlecode site and downloaded the latest version(3.1.1.3 to be exact). Set a US carrier; everything solved.
To people with sd card root method, do not panic and try to reset your accounts on the tablet, you'll end with a factory reset screen and will loose all your data.
I learned this the hard way lol, I had to re-root and install gapps again (SD card method), but since Market was blocked, after rooting, I had to use adb to install MarketEnabler to gain access to market again and download GoLauncher, NT Hidden Settings and etc.
Now I backed up everything, if some disaster happens again, I'll just restore with CWM.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Working again???
On Tuesday it wasn't working. Now I am back to the same company wifi and it is working again. I haven't installed Market Enabler.
Perhaps it was a temporary thing?
Anyway, I think I'll go ahead and install it because while Play works, I can't find much at all, so it certainly filter's on my country location. (currently Switzerland).
EDIT...
Just installed MarketEnabler(3.1.1.3) from a backup (since I couldn't find it over here...)
Now I see TONS of apps again.
So, for those of you outside the U.S. I recommend Enabler. You can switch between local and U.S. from the settings list. NICE.
Just be sure to restart Play.
Yes, I think it was temporary. Yesterday at 01:00 am Market became unavailable for about 10 minutes for my phone and tablet, when I saw this I thought "not again, and now on both my android devices?" and I thought market enabler was blocked or something, but I waited a little and market came back online after a few minutes. During this time, I restarted my nook, and by making this, market enabler changes are removed, but I could access the market without faking my region.
It seems that Google is making some chances on market and perhaps screwed something and took a few days to fix.

I started having this problem a couple of days ago myself and I'm in the US. I haven't found a fix. Am on a staighted rooted NT. CM7 on SD suddenly started having WIFI issues so I took it off.
I'll let you know if I get it fixed....

or, stated differently, "I've Been Banned From the Play Store..."
I am unable to get a full restore from my backup on Google servers because I get the dreaded "... no connection" "Retry" message whenever I go to the Play Store. I wouldn't mind that the restore is incomplete if I could just download the apps manually, but I can't.
Here's my tale of woe (and, yes, I'm a bit of an Android n00b, but I'm not new to these computin' devices):
I unlocked the boot loader right after I received the N9 and had it rooted a day or two later. All seemed well...
Yesterday (Thursday, 11/13), I received a notification that there was an update available. I was probably still half asleep, so that's why I said "Okay" to the update--and then realized that on a rooted device, that isn't a good idea. It stopped after a few minutes and said the update had failed. My N9 still worked, but was still at 5.0 (LRX21M) and not 5.0 (LRX21Q) as I'd hoped.
However, some things just didn't feel right and I convinced myself that I should get back to stock and leave my N9 unrooted until things matured a bit--this may have been irrational, but I convinced myself it wasn't.
So, down the "flash-a-system-image" path I went; following the instructions found on Google's "Factory Images for Nexus Devices" page. Unfortunately, I got the "missing system.img" error and knew something was amiss. I resorted to following some steps gleaned from various sources to flash everything manually. This worked and I was presented with a pristine install screen upon initial boot. All seemed well until I realized that the 100+ apps I had chosen from a previous backup were not downloading as they should be.
Numerous Factory Resets later, I am still unable to get access to the Play Store from this device and lately have been getting a message that the Play Store has stopped.
I have tried many of the suggestions and purported fixes that pop up when one Googles this issue, but none have worked in my case.
So, my question is: What options do I have to get the Play Store app available to this device? Should I be considering re-flashing everything manually, again?
I am open to any and all suggestions. Just remember that being a n00b, I may have a few more questions.
Thanks in advance to any and all who read and/or reply

SOLVED!
So, I spent several hours into the early morning wiping, re-flashing and factory resetting the N9 and finally stumbled onto the root cause of my problem--THE BACKUP I WAS RESTORING HAD THE WIFI PROXY SET TO MANUAL!
I had been messing with AdBlock Plus and had changed the proxy settings trying to get that to work. Seems the backup contained these settings and as soon as they were "restored", all subsequent restores were failing due to the device not being able to see the outside world. I discovered the proxy issue when I opened the Chrome browser and it suggested I check the proxy settings as it was blind to the outside world as well. Once I changed the proxy setting to "None", all apps were restored and we're up and running.
