Hi,
I have an archos g9 101 turbo tablet, I just got a notification about a firmware update to version 4.0.25, I have many apps installed and I wanted to know if updating will delete them or not, will it?
Thanks

No, the update should keep all the installed apps and data. You might have problems with some apps later on (particularly updated Google apps), but you can fix those issues by clearing data for the app in question.
Don't forget to recalibrate the touchscreen and accelerometer if you have any problems with either. (Settings->Repair&Formatting menu).

Here's the Market fix for ROOTED X10a and X10i with R2BA026. This will ONLY work on R2BA026! If you try it on any other firmware, you WILL get a yellow exclamation mark!
I made this because people are having trouble with the fix for 024 to 026 update. This one uses the R2BA020 fingerprint from Rogers-branded (Canadian) firmware.

Standalone Toggle Secure Shell script (run this if ADB won't let you mount /system directory)
ToggleSecureShell_X10.rar (Megaupload)
You must have PC Companion or Sony Ericsson Update Service installed, and you must have USB debugging enabled on your phone. There is NO NEED for Java or Device ID.
Run MarketFix_R2BA026_X10a.cmd or MarketFix_R2BA026_X10i.cmd to use it.
It keeps a backup of your original build.prop and default.prop files on your SD card. I've made an undo script, but I'm not sure if it works (Can you run adb after you get a yellow exclamation mark? I think you can, but I'm not 100% sure).
Please wait up to 24 hours for it to work.
If you still can't get it to work: I had to do this when NONE of the Market fixes were working. I reflashed my phone (a factory reset may work too), and then used Titanium Backup to restore my apps. I didn't restore my phone settings and region settings, but set them up manually instead. I installed the Market fix and it finally worked! Apparently, something in my backup screwed up my Market access.
Edit: Added X10i Market fix courtesy of MarylandCookie. The only difference is that I combined it with my script.
Noticed after a week of running 026 without issues (or so I thought), my paid market apps weren't showing up. I hadn't noticed before because the apps got re-installed when I restored my backup after upgrading my firmware.
Anywho, someone pointed me to this thread when I reported my market issue, and your process worked perfectly. Only took a couple of hours for the market to update for me.
Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic - I have F3 v3'd my X10 so now on R2BA026 and couldn't get my apps that I'd bought (ultimatejuice mainly) and some of the others I had like MyPlayer wouldn't work either - I tried the previous market fix and got the bricked Yellow ! on my phone so had to reflash. Found this - works PERFECTLY. Only took 30 mins for my apps to reappear, don't know if this was helped along by appbrain as when I searched market, UJ wasn't there but then I searched appbrain and there it was - MyPlayer was similar, searched appbrain and it wasn't there, so searched market and it appeared.
BRILLIANT fix. Thank you guys so much.
Just applied the patch now. Will update when I get access to apps.
UPDATE Already working!

It installed okay on 026 with my Rogers x10a.. now I wait to see what the market gods give me.
If I see the TD Canada Trust app I know this fix is the one.

Marketfix for 026 x10a
Hey guys, I went through the marketfix procedure and it's been almost 48hrs now and I'm still seeing no difference with apps on the market. Anyone else here with an x10a experiencing similar problems? Any suggestions outside of re-rooting and trying again? I don't mind waiting for the next upgrade, but obviously, if I can fix this now, then that would be better.
Thanks for your help..
Is this for rooted or un-rooted devices.
I've updated to R2BA026, Unrooted, but certain items are missing off the market. Myplayer being an example!
myplayer is also an example I have, but I'm talking about a 026 rooted x10a.

You could try this (it'll erase your stuff though):
1. Back up your apps, contacts, SMS, etc.
2. Factory reset (Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset).
3. Turn on USB debugging.
4. Install Market fix.
5. Test Market.
6. Restore apps, etc. DON'T restore saved region and phone settings.

It's for ROOTED phones only. Protected apps are missing if the fingerprint for the new firmware hasn't been approved by the Market yet. This fix basically spoofs the fingerprint to an older, approved one.
hi guys,i'm from brazil.I would like to now if is possible access the market doing this process.I've rooted my xperia x10a with RB...026 2 times,and i've installed the market fix too,but it seems to doesn't work.Could any one tell me something
Fantastic. 3 Hours and I'm seeing ALL apps
3G has sped up quite a bit as well. It was going at about 10kB/s ever since I applied the fix and as soon as the apps started showing in the market it's jumped up to 110kB/s.
Perhaps it was just (another) coincidence, but all my market downloads were stalling at "Starting download" and they started as soon as I switched on Google Talk. At the same time, the missing apps showed up in the market.
Ah well, I'm just glad everything is working smoothly

guiguisk8, can you supply more details? Which way do you root it? If you used exploid, did you keep your branded (Brazil) firmware, or did you flash with Generic X10a? Also, how long has it been since you applied the Market fix? Sometimes it takes a few hours.
hi grospolina,i used the new exploit that uses a cmd file where you type commands.I've installed the busybox(what is his function?) and the marketfix.The firmware is generic, by the way
another 2 questions: is possible install games like hero of sparta? And when the phone is rooted,appear a cmd prontop file on the prone?
Hi guys I just want to ask if i did these steps will i have a market on my X10i ????
Cause in my country X10i didn't come with android market
And I have the latest framware R2BA026
Please I need your help I want the market so bad
Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)
Hi all
I've recently updated my A101 to 2.3.20 and now its constantly complaining about having low device storage desipite the fact that I've cleared 30 Meg and have very few apps installed. Consequently I can't install any apps.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
cheers,
Toyface
1) Reset your Archos and install 2.3.20 once again.
2) If that doesnt work, contact Archos.
3) Wait until Urukdroid 1.0 (should be released in 1-2 weeks)
Hope i could help you
Thanks for the help, I might just have to do that, I could set up swap whilsts I'm at it, I'll play with it later to see if there's anything that might trigger it, trying to install read it later is not happening for me you see.
Now just need to find some none root backup apps...

I googled a long time and found this app:
http://market.android.com/details?id=tw.nicky.AppBackupReinstall
I think it dont need root... you have to test it^^
Ps.: Pushing "Thanks" dont hurt
I've sent you a thanks through.
The infamous appbackup by Nicky Cho, I've been using it a long time on my phone it doesn't save data or anything just the apk, great for sending apps from your phone to the tab that you can't get.

Hi,
I've got an Archos 43 IT with dual boot UrukDroid 1.5 and the stock fw. I had the latest version of the market running there (+market fix, installed by arctools) and all worked just fine. But since a few days ago the market only shows very few apps (like 2-3 each section) in both (stock and ud). When I try to install apps over the official market-homepage, I get the message like this (translated): "This App isn't compatible to your Archos A43-Device."
What can I do here? Does anyone have the same problem?
A few days ago in another post I read about a pro here, who managed to replace the file which told the market, that it is an A43 by an other one (i think, it was a samsung galaxy), but I can't find the thread/post anymore. I guess this should solve my problem, but I don't know which file it was, anymore.
Does anyone know, which post this was (link)/which file?

You can change the setting at content filtering to show all app.
For market app, you may reinstall it from arctools.

EDIT:
I even tried applying the fix again but it didn't work
EDIT 2:
I now managed to find the post I mentioned in my first post. It was here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11113696&postcount=3
But when I tried modifying my /system/build.prop, I was very surprised to see, it already had the galaxy-footprint, the line containing Archos was only put as a comment (Does this come by UrukDroid as default?). So this doesn't seem to work either...
I am still having the same problem I've tried everything i can think of fix unfix un reinstall edit build.prop and i think posted on the other thread you mentioned. And I'm having the same problem on my stock installation too. Anyone else have any ideas.

I now managed to get the fingerprint of a Motorola somewhat... (ro.build.fingerprint=verizon/voles/sholes/sholes:2.2/FRG01B/45394:user/release-keys)
Doesn't seem to do any change... Do I have to do anything to apply the changes in the build.prop? I tried reboot, clearing cache and data of the market and the google-services-framework. Anything else I have to do?
So, I got all the apps back . What I did was the following:
First I switched my fingerprint back to the Galaxy one. After that I rebooted my device and went to (the menu-points are translated by me, so it might not be the exact name) Settings -> Applications -> manage Applications -> Market -> Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop.
Does this work for you as well, jared?

Yes, I saw this on my phone after flashing other ROMs, too.
I think, in my cases, it was caused by changes in the system (apps), which concerned/influenced these apps.
So, I un-installed the "corrupted" apps and re-installed them from the Market.
That was the easiest and fastest way for me.
Maybe there is another way to "repair" those apps by deleting their data and/or wiping their cache. But I have not tried it yet.
