I rooted installed clockwork and then began the process of installing a team whiskey rom. when i noticed that i no longer had access to the app market. I have some sort of purgatory market that shows test apps and none of them seem to work.
So I installed Odin and was going to unroot and flash back to Stock Vibrant rom but the phone isnt syncing. so I installed Kies still nothing.
Then it was suggested that I use a Dial code started with *2.......*.... something. which wiped all my apps and gave me a stock phone with no terminal access.
So I dl terminal access apk's (tried two) they install but wont open.
I can still make calls and browse the net and whatnot but wheres the fun in that. About at my whitts end here fellas. I think I may have a virus. how do I fix it
Have you tried going to:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> The "All" tab -> select "Market" -> press "Clear Data" (you might have to force stop it before this step)
I tried a bunch of things in the settings... manage applications you suggested but I don't have a tab feature you mention.

In manage applications along the top it should say:
"Third Party"
"Running"
"All" <- select this one
Then scroll down to "Market", click it and clear the data.
I read about this some where and I'm sorry but I don't have the link. But this person was having close, if not exactly, the same problem and found it was due to some change in the IEMI code. This guy said he had backed his up so it was easy to fix. But the point is that your IEMI code is part of what is used to determine what should be shown to you in the market, at least that is my understanding, so you should verify that yours is correct. I hope this helps. If not then sorry I made you waste your time, but good luck.

earlier this morning i tried opening all the stock programs and when i got to sim3 i got this message "For security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in android market".
I tried the *#06# to compare the imei code with what is printed on the phone and they dont match.
So now I have a clearer idea of what Im up against here anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

I tried and failed to change my Mozart to a non carrier ROM. I ended up re-installing the carrier ROM (the onyl one I could find was NoDo), it then when through the upgrade to Mango (which I had previously), now whilst downloading all the apps I had previously I can't get the attentive phone app, it doesn't show at all in the HTC apps for marketplace, I can get to the app following links on the net but it won't let me install, I get a warning that this app isn't for my phone. Is there anyway I can get it to work as it did before?
PS has anyone managed to change from O2 UK ROM to the HTC release, I tried following the guides found on here but have so far been unsuccessful
after I got mango update on my HTC Mozart, i received the update for Attentive phone and then the attentive phone is appearing in SETTINGS->SYSTEM
---------- Post added at 10:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------
in SETTINGS->SYSTEM, at the very last you will see the attentive phone app settings.
cheers...
My settings are definitely not like that, I know it was there before I reinstalled, I may just have to try reinstalling from scratch again
I battled that as well and if you install the htc hub app, then go to the list of apps inside the hub and select get more, swipe over to apps you should see it in the list there and it will install. Mince it installs the app it goes away and is in your settings again.
[q] Why am I getting this error? "Your Device Is Not Compatible with This App"
I am running cyanogen 2.3.3, Kernel 2.6.32.41-cyanogenmod, mod version 7.0.3-Harmony and am having the same problem
apps I randomly checked
Facebook
Yelp
Google Maps
Drag Racing
Pizza Hut
I find these on the market and I get that error message it isn't compatible with my device. Any clue as to why I am getting this and how I can fix it?
I forgot to add I have a G tablet
dunno,maybe use market access???
Sometimes, all you need is to change the Language to English(US) or English(UK).
Sometimes, a full wipe and reflashing the ROM would do it.
I'm not sure if there are other ways though.
have you changed your screen density?
Sent using TCP/IP
well so far no luck, I tried the language trick.
I am not sure why this would be happening. I am also not sure about the screen density how would I go about checking that?
App compatibility is a known CM issue. Makevsure your device states all the proper info. Device name and such.
Hello Comunity,
I flashed ICS on my SGSII like 1 or 2 weeks ago it was working great, even Android Market updated to Play Store and it was working OK.
My SGSII is International Version, not locked. It's not rooted. Bought in Dubai, got to change the Sales Code to UK (UAE was not available since it was a European ROM?) when I flashed with the ICS.
Last night (23rd March 2012) I was trying to download some free apps from Play Store App and it was displaying Error -101, for several attempts and for different apps. Keep in mind that yesterday I did not use Play Store, also the system did not update anything during the day.
Tried Clearing cache and data of Google Play/Market.
I got the screen that says Android Market is upgrading to Google Play.. blah blah blah.. press continue
But then after that now Play Store is not connecting, it says Server Error, with a Retry Button.
Tried again Clearing cache and Data... no success. Same Server Error.
Restarted the phone... no success. Same Server Error.
Tried deleting my google account and enter it again... no success... and guess what? Same Server Error.
This started approx @ 1900-2000 GMT +3. Let's see if tonight it fix by itself (but I don't think so, since the 24 hrs ban due to excess downloading from the Store is dismissed).
Any ideas how to solve this?
I was having this problems yesterday (Friday). So I cleared data on Play Store app, deleted market links with Ti. Then I rebooted & used the Market Doctor in Ti to restore those links, then rebooted again.
Decided to leave it overnight before I gave the Market another try, and I've just tried it now. No problems at all updating apps (not getting that 101 error), and apps are correctly linked to Market again; have all my apps in installed/updated (before I did that thing with Ti yesterday, Market had nothing in "installed", everything was in "All").

Excuse my ignorance, but what is Ti?
Titanium Backup Pro It has market tools which can come in handy. Not saying it will definitely fix your problem (or that it definitely fixed mine; may have been coincidence), but it might.

I have the same problem, it was working perfectly fine until yesterday. Same problem that you encounter. Is this is a server problem? did it fix the problem right now by itself?? Please let me know because I still have the same problem as of now.

Not yet... I just downloaded Ti apk and patcher, but I will need to root my phone... I just don't want to switch to the Dark Side. I'll wait until tonight to root it, or maybe when I get home (April) since I'm overseas and I don't want to lose the only Communication Tool (My precious SGSII) that I have to contact home. Need to read a lot 'bout rooting.
As soon as it's fixed will let you now in this thread.
Yep let us know how you go with it. That way we can confirm whether what I did yesterday fixes this problem or not. Good luck
Edit to add - Almost forgot. If you do use the market tools in Ti, only use them for user apps & not system apps.

I already rooted my phone, so i used the "advance task killer" and kill all pps and somehow I got it working again. But I know this is a galaxy SII section but I just wanted to let you know my galaxy tab 10.1 still have the same issue. server error with the retry button. I used something closed to advance task killer but still didn't work. So bottom line, I still don't know how to resolve this problem. Looking forward to what you can come up with.
I have same Server Error on my both Galaxy Note and Motorola Razr.I tried everything including Factory reset but still same issue.
It seems that google needs to setp in and fix this issue.
Hi all,

Its problem with some regional/provider specific markets/plays so you just need to fool it that you are from other region/provider...

OK, 24 hours past already and still the same problem.... The dark side is near.... Man... I will have to wait too much to root this phone. I think I could live without Google Play for a while... I'll do some questioning at the Rooting/Unrooting post...
Keep in touch...

Mmm, I'm using WIFI in this country. I tried two different ISP (in the same country) and the problem is still there.
By the way, when I flashed to the ICS, changed the Sales Code from UAE to UK (using the numpad with the IMEI thing)... If I do it again, is not the same thing? for example from UK to Poland somewhere in Europe (since the ICS flash is Europe)...
Thanks dude...

Been having the 'Server Error - RETRY' issues for the past 2 days and even tried manually installing the latest play store 3.5.15 with no luck.
Changed to US - Verizon using Market Enabler and all was well, was able to launch Play Store and update my applications... well all expcept Root Explorer which was giving a download failed error, but i'm sure I'll get this going shortly.

If you said you 'flashed' to ICS... you may not be too far away from rooting.
Visit ChainFire's thread to find a suitable insecure kernel, i used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (post #8) and be sure to read the 1 line of instruction in post #1 - ODIN (short).

Guys, I had the same problem for 24 hours and believed me, I tried everything that has been suggested by this thread but it didn't do anything. Somehow I got everything up and running on its own. I truly believe it was a problem from the google side. So I guess, you just have to wait until they fix the server.
Cheers.
Glad that ME worked for u.
It seams that there is no Root Explorer app in US market... Not sure if its deleted from market.

bojancincur You are a genius!!!.
I did the VPN thing and it worked!!!! Right now updating AndroZip File Manager XD
Thank you.
When I read your blog, I was going to connect to my company VPN through Juniper's Network connect and share the internet connection from my laptop to the SGSII.
How to know which market my phone is connecting to?
Is it, by deault, connecting to the country assigned in the Sales Code?
But stop working once you disconnect from the VPN. I think I will change the Sales Code once I get home (since it involves a data wipe)

I did a bit of googling on this. Im sure its not the case but do you by chance have any proxies set in apn settings? maybe came from porting something or whatever? That seems to be the most popular cause that ive found so far.
Ill keep looking around, see if I find anything else.
Anyone find the fix? I upgraded to an ICS system today and all of a sudden I'm getting error 491 on any attempts to install apps I've purchased. I can't find any proxy settings in ICS.
(UPDATE) I found the fix for me: Clearing cache and Dalvik cached worked.
