I have no way of getting my phone to successfully download apps from the android marketplace. I went from bamf 1.6.3 to the unsigned mr1 stock rom, back to bamf and back to mr1 and nothing works for my phone.
I was thinking of reverting to stock and using my insurance to get a new thunderbolt to start new. Every time i tried to fix the problem i am having i would do a full wipe on my phone through cwr and install my rom then at startup i would link my google and or htcsense account but my phone will not allow me to download anything from the market.
Would verizon be able to tell that i rooted my phone if reverted back to stock, unrooted and claimed insurance?
Don't know if this will help, but have you gone to Applications->Manage->All and find Market & MarketUpdater, Force close them and delete data?
Did you also try using Market Doctor in Titanium Backup to see if that helps?

when you are installing your rom do you Wipe Data/ Wipe Cache/ wipe Dalvik (under advance tab)? To me it does not sound like a hardware issue. Also try airplane mode and use wifi to get to market and see if it would let you download something.

To answer this question: if you revert back to non-root, S-ON using a signed ROM and Radio, then no, they will never know.
Ok i did try the tips from nero, didn't work. Don't know what is causing this but monday i am going to stock and s-on and trade it in.
Ok to anyone that has ever had the problem where you couldn't download android market apps, i fixed my problem. I have no idea how i exactly fixed it but i will tell you everything i did before it worked right again. I formatted my sd card, system, data, cache in clockworkmod recovery. I then i installed my rom (bamf remix 1.6.3). I used titanium backups market doctor (it told me no links were found). I synced my google account, htc account and in my privacy settings i checked backup and restore. I synced my phone and let it finish before doings anything. I used my application settings to force close market app and updater then cleared data. Lastly i used super one click and re rooted my phone and then enabled non market apps.
What ever i did i fixed my problem, will link this to bamf remix thread and thank everyone that put up with and helped me
I had this same problem, and thought that I was screwed, but what solved it for me was a battery pull. I got so pissed trying everything that I could, I just pulled the battery and went to sleep.
When I got up, it was syncing just fine.
There are quite a few threads on this subject since I have lurked these forums. Wonder where the problem is.

I had a similar problem a while back and it drove me nuts and I finally figured out why. It was because I have changed some settings in my google account that required a credit card and I never supplied the info. For me it was google adsense for my blog, which I ended up getting rid of, but once I finished the setup of that section of my account I was downloading from the market again.
Hey All,
Here's the rundown. Got the tab new with version 1.2. NVFlashed to 1.1 via directions from 'Gtab for dummies' website and installed installed CWMod just fine (thanks to the Gtab for dummies web page, great work). Partitioned fine. I decided to try Vegan 5.0 and 5.1.1 Supplimental first (though, it never loaded Gingerbread Keyboard for me). Then I went back into CWMod, cleared the 3 caches, then installed the stable version of Vegan Gingerbread 7.0. Booted in ok, waited, restarted, waited. All was ok. Shut down and into CWMod and ran backup then restarted, but it looped to the dev screen and back out into CWMod. I tried reloading the backup but it seems to have failed. So I cleared out all the caches again, then reinstalled. I got it working again, backed up and was able to restart this time, but this is where it gets weird. It's running Gingerbread, but is displaying the Vegan 5.1.1 desktop. I restarted and it started back into Gbread desktop but I shut it down for the night and in the morning it was back to 5.1.1. Kind of a bummer at the moment. Everything else seems fine but I really liked the Gbread desktop with the sidebars, etc (as an aside, when it is on the 5.1.1 desktop I can't add certain widgets like the google search bar and it gives an error that "no space on this homescreen" or on any other for that matter. Any ideas? I have backed up via titanium apps+data to external sdcard, and correct me if I'm wrong, but if I had to reinstall again, would that save me the hastle of reloading all the apps? I can live with it as is though I'm a stickler for the details.
Thanks for the advice/ideas.
TB will restore all apps and data so your good there. When you reflash you just need to side load TB and then batch restore all user apps and data.
At this point I would nvflash back to stock using the stock image with cwm installed and pop in vegan7 again.
I was fearing that. I got this for the wife. She's been hastling me for an ipad for months so I got her this (or maybe for me, who's to say really?). Anyhow, she's like a hawk and I've had to sneak away to try and get it working and had to ask her to reload her apps etc. Then I had to suffer the "what do you mean it's hacked? why didn't you just get the ipad?" etc, etc, etc. I'll try your advice next time she's out and leaves it behind. Fingers crossed she doesn't find out or it will be all kinds of Wrath of Khan up in here...
not sure what to call it exactly, but i just recently purchased my 10.1 tab (few days ago)... then i went camping and found out that my tablet does not or cannot located ad-hoc for wifi tethering off my samsung galaxy 4g!!! so i came home today and tried to root it.... then i installed the task650 rom.... i noticed my numbers on the home screens disappeared at the top...there should be maybe like 3-4 screens where i can switch left and right...but the bubbles at the top are gone..i even went back to stock, but it seems that they still didnt come back!!! i also noticed the clocks and bars at the bottom doesnt seem the same as when i first got it stock?? the settings colors still looks different too...maybe my tablet didnt have a new version of the kernels or updates etc...not sure...please help!

Task's launcher in V5 and V6 is different than stock TW KME. It has the bubbles removed on top.
When you went back to stock, did you do a full wipe of your system first? Let us know what steps you took to get back to stock to figure this out.
thanks for the quick reply, i just followed the first thread of i think in the development section that tells u how to root,unroot,roms...etc...
there was pretty much just 3 sentences.. i downloaded the filesfordummies.zip.... went to cwm and loaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip, then i unrooted after that with odin.... but i did notice i get a force close after i booted up..so i redid the process again and wiped the cache, wiped and resetted the data, and wiped the dalvic thing... then i reloaded up the hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip again... then i unrooted again (i rerooted earlier in the step again so i could unroot)....i see the stock stuff, but it seems the bubbles are still not there, the menu is still dark (unlike what i had in the stock one, and the widgets like the clock and weather that appears when i first purchased it is not at the homescreen)...so i know something is wrong..

Your on the original stock honeycomb. I can't remember if the bubbles were on vanilla honeycomb. Upgrade your Tab to Touchwiz to get the other features back.
If you need to upgrade link, here is KMB http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1205816
It was the first official Touchwiz update in the US. You can upgrade to KME from there to be at the latest and greatest.
hmm..ok ill try that out... do i have to get back the cwm to use it?? thanks!!!

Yes, you can use the filesfordummies to
1. flash cwm on ODIN
2. install zip via CWM
3. flash stocky recovery on ODIN
4. factory reset in stock recovery
5. go to settings>about and upgrade to KME
This method and the KMB link I posted will keep you unrooted and stay within warranty. This is what I do if I want a completely clean ROM.
Another medthod and possibily the easiest is found on this site from Overcome. (Started yesterday so I forgot to mention)
They have a download called restock and it will ODIN KME on your Tab and give you the chance to wipe clean.
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/
http://p7510.teamovercome.net/?page_id=18 goes to the guide.
i think im trying out the overcome way...im dling it right as im typing..ill update you...i think either way im going back to stock then returning this one (its only been like 5 days from best buys) and getting the white one
btw, i noticed youre from the bay area..maybe ill just drop it by your house so you can help me root my new one and install adhoc lol jk
alright i got the stock rom back in there now. all the widgets and bubble things are back too...i appreciate it!
now im wondering..is that task650 rom with the newer software, or is the factory one the newest?? thanks

Both are KME which is the latest US official release.
Other than that, tasks is themed and has enhancements that make it much much smoother than stock.

ah ok, so its just the theme that made the menus/task look different in colors. i have it all fixed now. i will PM you if you dont mind regarding adhoc tether. thanks again.
Hi guys,
Please help. i connected my phone to kies, and it said that there was an update. clicked update
and it downloaded and installed the firmware successfully. However, when i switched it on
it was considerably slower and was using 197mb ram compared to previously the phone wojld uuse 181 ram.when i scroll down any list eg in msgs, adobe pdf reader the fluid manner in which the list moves is lacking instead its staggering. Also polaris office failed to open. i feel it hasnt helped with the battery either. i tried to factory restore, to no avail. even after restore yhe build shows 14 instead of the initial 4. Adobe doesnt load as smoothly either.
Have attached current build. Please help mee.

That is an "i". As in KI4, not 14.
Try a factory reset. (you may not like that answer though)
Oops, i guess then that the previous build was 4 and now its I4. I tried factory restore but it didnt help as you might have guessed.

I don't think you are guessing right. Last three characters of the build (KI4, for example) represent year, month, and build number.
And I don't know what a "factory restore" is. Did you do a factory reset from menu > privacy > factory data reset?
Yes, what i did was a factory reset. Whatever the case after my firmware update my phone is alot slower and the battery lasts even less when i expected the opposite from a firmware update. And Either way my firmware WAS updated , or else it wouldnt go all the qay to download mode and not update anything. so the phone was updated and now it has problems. the previous build i dont rem but im sure it had a 4 at the end. so may be another letter then 4. but it wasnt I4. Thank you for your prompt reply

Well in that case you have three options. 1 is to try another factory reset. 2 is to try to re-flash the XWKI4 firmware yourself using Odin. You can get the firmware either from Intratech's official firmware thread here on XDA, or off samfirmware.com. 3 is if you're not comfortable doing that, take it to service.
Hi all,
Thanks for having me here I've been reading a long time but i finally had to register an account to post because i have ran into some problems. Here's what happened:
Chronological actions:
* I was running STOCK GB 2.3.6 (KPN_I9100XWKK2_I9100KPNKJ1_I9100XXKI4)
* I rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_KK2-v5.0-CWM5 (Still running above mentioned software versions.)
a few months passed by.
* Backup current 2.3.6 state with CWM.
* I flashed ICS 4.03 (XEN_I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XENLP3)
* I rooted it with CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEN_LP7-v5.4-CWM5
Problem:
All seemed fine at first glance. But when the phone went to sleep (screen off) it wont turn back on. Only when i press and hold the power button for over 10 seconds a few times it starts back up.
I removed cache and dalvik caches and rebooted. Still the same problem.
The battery was draining fast too, about 10% in 20 minutes, and the phone got pretty hot.
More actions:
* Backup current messed up 4.03 state with CWM.
* Restore CWM 2.3.6 KPN.
My phone seems fine and working properly. But when i open KIES my firmware is suddenly no longer supported and not updateable. Here's the weird part according to kies my firmware version is now: 'I9100XWKK2/I9100KPNKJ1/I9100XXLPS/I9100XWKK2 (KPN)'
My phone's output for *#1234#:
PDA: I9100XWKK2
Phone: I9100XXLPS
CSC: I9100KPNJ1
I did backup the kernel, system, and data partitions and had everything else selected with CWM. Now it must become blatantly obvious that i'm a noob.. Was i wrong in assuming that CWM does a complete backup, like a norton ghost image of the whole system? Why is the 'Phone' section still XXLPS and not back to XXKI4 ? Doesn't CWM backup/restore the baseband also ?
Does anyone know what i might have done wrong?
I fixed this by reflashing the old stock kernel and rerooting with cf-root and i'm back on:
PDA: I9100XWKK2
Phone: I9100XXKI4
CSC: I9100KPNJ1
Now i'm again updatable in kies.
I'm just trying to understand what i did wrong with doing backup and restore via CWM ?
I also would like to know if there's a solution for the ICS problem i had with the phone going dead when the screen goes off.
BTW I did NOT do a factory reset before upgrading to ICS. All my apps where there after i had upgraded.
Thanks for listening,
~Trail.
you want to fix it completly, theres one way
im assuming you know ur way with cwm.
1: using cwm format system, cache, data, dalvik
2: flash your stock ICS using odin
3: after first boot skip everything and wait few minutes.
4: dial this code *2767*3855#
now after boot you should have a working phone.
the code will wipe your phone and please do not restore any thing you saved on GB.
start from scratch.
Thanks atfish,
Your method sure sounds like a fool-proof way to get ICS going. It also sounds like the last resort method to me. I heard many that have upgraded to ICS without doing a factory reset. I'd hate to reinstall everything i'm using.
I'm hoping for a less rigorous method
I still would like to know why CWM didn't backup/restore the phone completely, or what i did wrong.
~Regards,
~Trail.
ill be surprised if someone who has went from GB to ICS without wipe is running trouble free.
Gb to ICS is major change of OS so its better to start from scratch and stay tension free

Just keep flashing stock roms until it is fixed .

I do have games on there, but also half a gazillion tools
I'm trying to deduct where it went wrong so i just backed up current state and restored the same backup from a day ago and i'm still updatable. That backup was fine.
Just wanted to make sure the backup didn't contain I9100XXLPS by some error, but it really is I9100XXKI4 like i thought it was. Or CWM doesn't do anything with the baseband.
Does this mean CWM doesn't backup/restore the baseband?
~Trail.
Wow i did what you suggested starting with a fresh system and i haven't noticed any problems yet.
I first made backups of my sd card just in case. And used titanium to backup my programs.
Low and behold after booting the playstore started restoring my apps automaticly.. so thats what you ment.. LMAO.. even my contacts are back.. lil; did i know... big brother google does have some usefull features afterall
EDIT: After restoring apps i have the same problem as before. When the screen goes off it never comes back on again..
Isolated the problem to SETCPU. Once deinstalled the phone works just fine.
