Yes, again with this topic. I know that there have already been several of this particular topic posted, but none have been helpful. Also, you'll have to forgive me if I don't know what I'm talking about. With the usual- I only encountered this issue yesterday. The Google Play Store was working fine one minute, but the next it said "connection error". I tried clearing the cache of the app as I've seen recommended- but to no avail. Then, I searched around a bit more and tried manually adjusting the time on my phone, as others suggested. That didn't work either. I thought it could be due to one of the other google apps not working correctly, so I cleared the cache on all of those, too. Still, nothing.
Then, I ran into this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994 (I do have a rooted device, by the way.) I tried getting the Total Commander and using the steps on that post, but ran into an issue with writing to a read-only partition. Other forum posts suggested deleting the hosts file, but again I couldn't delete it due to not being able to write to a read-only partition. None of the information I found about that was helpful, so I gave up on that.
Frustrated, I decided to go to a more drastic level. I tried factory resetting- but again, nothing. Then, I tried wiping the cache partition, factory resetting, and clearing the cache partition again. Nothing. I'm stumped. I really don't know what to do. If anyone has an answer for this, I'd be grateful a hundred times over.

I am running Vegen 5.1, I did the market fix, Everything was working fine.
I tried to buy bejeweled, and for some reason it would not download, It kept saying the download is starting, and it would show the downloading arrow in the notifications for about 3 seconds, then disappear, and nothing downloads.
Now I have tried to download different apps, and nothing will download?
I have ran thru the market fix steps 2 times again now, and that does not work.
Please can someone help me?
Common issue tonight....dont panic. I am guessing it relates to Googles conference Wednesday. Perhaps they are doing something. I had the issue...rebooted and was able to download the app I couldnt previously.

Sounds like issue with your SD partition. You will need to repartition your internal to 2048/0. This is documented on the first post of the Vegan thread.
Well, I tried to do some stuff, and now I am stuck in bootloop.
On market Help from google, it said to go the mangae Apps Markey, and uninstall update.
So I did that.
Then I rebooted.
Then I did Market Fix steps.
Then I rebooted, now all it does is continue to boot.
Anyone? Please?
what im so lost
best actionis to install sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Ok, I did the partition.
Now it boots back up, however everything looks like I just did a factoy reset, and things still don't download.
Where do I find sgs tools apk. Apply script, market fix
Market is having issues for ever device, including market supported phones...randomly tonight. Possible cause = Google conference tomorrow and possible market enhancements being announced.

I see, so I created a bunch of work for myself in the name of learning.
I bascially just started ever with the reinstalling of the rom.
On the plus side, when you learn the most is when things go wrong. And I feel your pain - I had to reload everything from a bootloop as well

I had the same problem last night. I got it to download by going into settings/applications/system applications and clearing the data in the download manager. I had to do it for every download. BTW It seems to be working fine this morning.
...in the same boat

Hi all,
I didn't want to start a new thread but I hope someone sees this one as the main title is not descriptive at all.
I got my new gtablet three days ago (not a woot) and have been trying different roms (TNT 4.3.1 / Vegan 5.1) with no luck in the android market. As in the first topic, I tried the fixes for the market, clearing cache, data, even re-partitioning to make sure partition was 2048 | 0, turning off firewall in my router... EVERYTHING! I can see all the applications but as soon as I click to install it keeps in "starting downloading..." and could be there for hours without downloading a single bit.
Early in this topic the speculation was a google conference taking place but... that was February! Is anybody experimenting the same (frustration, haha)? How can I identify where the problem could be?
Thanks in advanece!

I'm right there with you and have yet to find a solution. It's quite frustrating.
A HUGE thanks in advance for any help you can offer:
I have a Viesonic G-Tablet, and I've flashed a couple of different ROM's on it - TNT Lite 4.4 and VEGAn-TAB 7.0 RC1.
LOOOOONG story short:
Tried to install Ubuntu, no luck.
Downloaded ZPad to try it out, installed. Didn't like it, used ClocworkMod to recover to a previous TNT Lite 4.4 install. From there, reflashed to Vegan...
And that's when the problems started. Namely, Market no longer works properly. None of my downloads are successful. It gives a "Download error - Download was unsuccessful, please try again."
So, after trying again to go back to TNT Lite and having the same trouble, I NVFlashed back to stock, wiped EVERYTHING per the directions on XDA, in the order prescribed - did everything by-the-book, and still no luck on any ROM. TNT Lite, Vegan - both of them adamantly refuse to download anything from the market.
I've searched to my wits end not only in this thread, but others as well. I've reset the data, reset the cache, uninstalled the market update - you name it, I've tried it.
Could it be your internet connection? Do other devices on your network download from the internet fine?
Thanks for the question. I guess I should have been a little more specific: Yes, great connection. I can browse the web fine, even download from Amazon's appstore - but that's where it ends. The weirdest thing is that I have noticed that I can download Firefox from the Marketplace, but literally - that's it. Nothing else, and I've tried close to 40 different apps now. All fail to download.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc...
I was even desperate enough to pretty much do a system wipe and come up clean. I used ClockworkMod to format everything - even the SDcard. Made sure to set the partition size to 2048/0, the whole nine yards. Wiped all the data, cleared/formatted cache, so I'm at a loss.
*UPDATE 4/18/11 - On a whim, I decided to use ClockworkMod to reset my User Data, and signed my tablet in under another Google account I had. As I type this, I'm downloading all the apps that I was unable to download with my "usual" account. So maybe there's a bug on Google's side? How would I even go about fixing that?
I'm having this same problem. NVFLASH and reFLASH numerous times and still no luck can someone please help. Can't install anything from market at all. it download and as soon as it finish dl and start to install it will restarted itself and nothing happen. please help. THanks
Exact problem I'm having. I've tried five different roms, from Vegan to CM7, to older TnT's and Calkulin's, nothing will let me download and install from the market. I did yet another full NVFlash last night and repartitioned the tablet, still no luck after flashing CM7. It started off allowing me to download a few dozen apps then giving me the download error, but now the first app I try gives me that.
Did anyone else here come down from TwoTapsX or another 1.2 based rom? Seems to me the issue started right about the time I NVFlashed down from that.

I just tried this myself, sure enough I can download with another Gmail account, but not my main one.
This has to be an issue with Google...I am having the same issue also.
How the hell did I quote myself up there?
Mine is downloading again, all I did was sign in as my backup account, wipe data and dalvik cache, reflash then fix permissions. When i logged in again it worked. Don't know which step actuallly fixed it.
I just deleted the data under app management and they started working again for me.

I had the same. Uninstalling Flash player seem to have solved the issue for me
Me too
I seem to have the same problem however I do not get an error message at all, I just see the application in the notification bar preparing to download except instead of even downloading it basically just disappears. I had this problem ever since installing Vegan tab 5.1.1.
I had the same problem...drove me crazy...finally figured out that you can just log intp the market on my laptop and install everything from there....
Hi all! Please solve my issue - it is getting real serious. Before starting a thread I have already researched a lot about this problem and now, XDA is my second last hope!
I own a XOLO Q1010 (with Android 4.2.2) phone. Recently, the company has released KitKat update for this device. I was real excited about it as the new ROM has already arrived luckily to my phone as well! But, unfortunately, it is not that easy. I start upgrading by downloading the system update of 316.14 mb, and as soon as it enters Recovery mode, after few seconds, an error occurs. First, I thought there might be some problem with the Zip file, next, I downloaded update again and kept it at a safe place to reuse it.
Now, I don't know why but as I analyzed that error, it wrote:
warning:no file_contexts verifying current system
"/system/app/Browser.apk" has unexpected content,
installation aborted.
update.zip is not correct
I thought that once few months earlier, I disabled this browser app (after rooting) so that may be the issue. I'll update that browser and it will apply the update to my phone.
After this, I started troubleshooting.
I checked Browser.apk file, and saw that it was working fine.
After this, when I started Browser, it showed: "Unfortunately, the Browser has stopped".
I later reset the app preferences, but it didn't worked.
I decided to re-install the fresh version and paste it manually within /system/app folder.
I did as many times as possible and with trusted installers (like the one I got on some thread on XDA itself), but nothing really worked.
I decided to do clear the cache partition but that doesn't work either.
Right now, the browser is also not working and I cannot upgrade my system as well.
I have gone for Factory Reset as well. But as soon as setup completes and everything get backs to normal, I start the default browser, it pops-up the message again that unfortunately, the browser has..
So this is what bothering me a lot. I have already gone for a Factory reset and tried the methods that I was aware of and found suitable. But nothing actually worked. The Recovery still displays the same error as above and I cannot upgrade my OS to KitKat.
Tired and irritated now, please anyone help me.
Thanks in advance! :good:
I have the same issue.
I also deleted the system browser.apk.

You need to flash stock 4.2.2 rom via spflashtools then update
Hi,
[Sorry for the long post, but please, bear with me. This issue needs a lot of explaining...]
It's been a few weeks since I have been experiencing this weird problem with my phone. It started when one day I picked up my phone and saw that process.android.gapps had stopped. So I did what everyone does and cleared the cache, wiped the data, but still nothing happened. I went over and cleared it for play services too and that reset my google account (no idea why) and everything came back to normal. Or as I thought it did. A few days later, I again had the same problem in front of me, except that it was not just gapps this time, it was a ****load of a few more apps, including process.???.acore, all giving ANRs. Plus my google account got erased somehow so play store won't login and all other unnecessary stuff.
So I got frustrated and went over to the recovery and tried to factory reset. And this is where I realized something. IT DIDN'T HELP! The phone started as normal and I saw the startup screen. But as soon as I started entering my details, all the ANRs came back simultaneously.
So I did a lot of other stuff to rectify this, all in vain. Skip to 8 hours later. This is where I realized, some of the apps in /data/data had got corrupted and hence nothing was happening. Also, formatting /data resulted in an error, which I HAVE NO IDEA WHY TILL DATE.
So I did a workaround and renamed /data to something so that the android OS could create a new /data, which IT DID on the next reboot! And all was working fine again.
FOR A FEW HOURS.
Again the same ANR, same everything, no access to /data to format it etc etc.
Again renamed and rebooted and reinstalled Blisspop and gapps and everything.
And this has been the scene ever since.
What aggravates the situation?
A REBOOT
Whenever I reboot my phone, be it soft or hard, It corrupts some or the other app in /data. If I'm lucky it's a non essential app. If not, xx.xx.xx has crashed and the phone is unusable. I usually use ES and try to rename for the non essential apps (as deletion isn't possible), but for the essential ones, a reflash with whole /data/data renaming has to be done.
So basically this is the problem. I have no idea why my /data/data corrupts randomly, or whenever I restart. Could it be because I greenify apps? I stopped using deep hiberation but still this occurs. Or could it be a failing internal memory?
Please Help! I am just frustrated. Might go over to G3 soon if this doesn't work out.

I think it would be painfull to pinpoint what is screwed on your phone. If i were you,i would flash stock firmware and start from the beggining.

Yeah I guess that's what I'll do finally.
Although I'm still gonna try for a few more days to find something out If I can.
I'll post an update here if I do, in-case someone runs into the same problem as me and needs to find a solution later on.
UPDATE 1 - Okay so I reflashed everything to start over (everything same as before, no downgrading) and I think I may have found a solution. So rebooting the system corrupts /data right? Well, I tried powering off and starting instead of rebooting and that seems to work pretty well. No ANRs even after doing this more than 20 times. [NO IDEA WHY, but hey, it works, so good enough]
Although, I had greenify disabled.
Now, I'll try with it enabled and post an update soon.
Ok, first of all, I wouldn't be asking this if I knew an answer or found one. I searched and tried so many ways, even experimented my own lol.
Story. I have a OnePlus One, which means I had CM installed. It was great but last year I wanted to try something different so I try I changed the room. No visible problem.
Then, my phone got slow and wanted to do a complete wipe of it. So I went to TWRP and try to flash something: result = BRICK.
Somehow solved and went to stock CM (12 I believe), and after some time I convinced myself not to give up and try again so I did.
Installed Resurrection Remix after unlocking and rooting via TWRP but I got caught into and infinity loop in the boot animation.
So I went back to recovery and wiped everything, and I mean everything. I wanted to do it from scratch (except the USB option) and I had read something about the FORMAT option in te TWRP advanced options in WIPE, so I went for it and then FLASHED from ADB SIDELOAD pushing the room and gapps mini (it wouldn't let me install bigger option than MINI) and wiped cache and delvik-cache and rebooted to system. Everything seemed to be working fine., but then I realised I couldn't install some apps from playstore so I went around it downloading some APK's and STORES and install them from other stores, but then I realized I couldn't take any screenshot saying I didn't have space (I got the 64GB version) but it wasn't the issue. I went to the File Explorer and checked permissions, everything was own by ROOT user.
So I did it again, wipe, flash, format, but it wouldn't work.
I've looked for any option but nothing seems to be working. Can get the USER folder to appear and can't use MTP with my computer since I don't have permissions. The only way to get files into my device is by PUSHING them. The phone is working with RR on it.
Any ideas?
I appreciate so much your help and hope be posting this the right way. Also, apologize for my English in advance if I had any mistakes (or will have lol)
Case solved!
Just for you to know! It seems I solved my problem.
@osm0sis is the guy who gave us a flashable script but the solution that actually saved me is the one from @xak944
So thank you very much. I give you the link where you can find the solution in case you have the same problem.
