Unable to install Market Apps

I am running the official AT&T Froyo 2.2.2 on my streak. For the past couple of days I get a "Unable to install, please try later" message every time I try to download and install any app from the market. Before this I have downloaded many apps from the market with no problems. Also I am still able to download apps from Amazon app store. I tried clearing the Market cache and Market data but it didn't fix it. I also deleted all apps that I downloaded recently. Still no fix. Does anyone have any ideas, as this is very frustrating? Thanks for any advise.
I recently had a similar issue.All I could do in the end was back up my phone/apps and then re-installed the Rom.If you're already done lots to your phone then this probably isn't what you want to here so just be patient. There's a lot of good helpful folk on here and fingers crossed you should get an answer. There's lots of great stuff to read up on while your waiting.I myself am learning new things daily and so far haven't bricked my Streak.Lol.
Good luck mate.Tris.
P.S. Just a thought but have you tried downloading apps from the official website through your phone or from a PC to see if you get the same error? That may help someone narrow the problem down for you.

You can also download from the market website directly to your phone without the use of the built-in app on your phone by going here :- https://market.android.com/
Just log in with you google account as normal and try a download, you can do this from either your phone web browser or through USB at your PC.

Wow, it does indeed work by downloading directly from the site to my phone! I would still like to figure out why the market app does not work, but it's great to know I can still get the apps. Thank you!!!
If you're phone is rooted and you have a backup of the file 'vending.apk' you could always try re-installing it through a file manager. But I'm afraid that is where my knowledge ends. I'm glad you can still manage downloads via another route, to me that says 'all is not lost yet!'
Maybe you have USB Debugging enabled?

I don't think so. How do I check?
I have USB Debugging enabled on my phone and have no problems with the Market, so it's something else that is causing the problem.
Well thanks for all the help guys. After several days of this happening with no know reason, it is now suddenly working again for no known reason. I just hope it keeps up.

Hi. Let me see... You have the Lenovo P780 SPEED edition. This means that your phone after 04.2014. You need to flash your phone with the new preloader.
Look on your phone box, on the back of the box and read there.
Sooo.. Now because of this wrong preloader, your PC cannot detect your phone.
Now to reflash your phone you do all the things to prepare flash, press flash button,connect the phone, and now come the tricky part:
- open the back case of your phone and press small red button for 20 secconds. Not optional. More yes, less no.
Try this and tell me what happent.

Sony C5 Ultra Firmware available 29.1.A.0.101 - Android 5.1

Just got the update from Wind in Canada. Still Android 5.1, don't know what's new.
Plzzz check any side effects on the camera quality.
most likely just the April security update
US Generic has update too.
I tried to flash the new firmware using flashtool. It gave errors and now the phone has been softbricked. I don't know what happened. Flashtool doesn't recognises the phone now and asks to install drivers for the device. I installed the drivers from sony's website but the issue persists.
Please help.

Nothing works buddy. PC companion doesn't recognize the phone. It's not going in fastboot or flashmode, the red light turns on whenever I attach it to the laptop, nothing else happens.

You need to press the "Vol -" on your phone before plugging it on the USB. Make sure you DIDN'T update the Flashtool to last version. You have to use the version 0.9.19.8 and before you flash, select the buffer size to 128K. I bricked my phone once and I could recover it.
I hope this revives your phone. Good luck!

As I mentioned earlier buddy, it doesn't go into flash mode or fast mode. Flashtool doesn't recognize the device.
Mine is rooted and update via OTA fail. Tried PC companion and updated successfully. As expected, root lost. Android security update is for Feb only. Cant tell any difference from the previous firmware.. softkey doesnt change either, annoying flicker is still there before playing a video if u had adjusted the colour manually .. Not sure if its a worthy "update".... going to try root again via kingroot.

It didn't work out at first and the phone had problems, but I run Sony Companion to update once more and it went through perfectly. After that, everything went smoothly.

I had to take it to sony service center, they didn't asked me many questions. I told them I was trying to update it using pc companion and it just went dead. They fixed the phone in 5 days and returned it. The funny thing is that I had unlocked its bootloader a long time ago so it should've been out of warranty, also, the IMEI numbers have changed and the drm keys and functions have been restored. Can't believe my luck...

mi unlock "not connected to phone"

edit #2: THE UNLOCK APP DOESNT WORK ON AMD RYZEN
hi all,
i tried unlocking the bootloader with the mi unlock app as described here: http://en.miui.com/thread-246705-1-1.html
app version: miflash_unlock-en-3.3.827.31
sadly on step 6.) the app is never able to "see" the phone and the only thing that shows up is the "not connected to phone" text. anyone with the same problem and knows how to fix it?
when i press "click the button to install the drive" is shows "mi drive installed" as confirmation (screenshot)
this is how the phone shows up in my windows 10 device manager: (screenshot)
thanks for reading!
edit: when i open the mipcsuite it says: "you need to update your device" but my poco is running miui 10.0.6.0 stable... i dont know what else to do/try...
so i got a little bit further with this issue. there is A SECOND USB DEBUGGING OPTION in the settings, why is this not mentioned anywhere??? (screenshot)
after enabling it i get the mi unblock app to see the phone but then it stops verifying at 50% with the non-descript error message (-1) (screenshot)
maybe somebody knows what to do from here?
edit: it shows me only 1 attachment under "attached thumbnails" but there are two, just navigate to the second picture via the first one

i guess you are referring to this: "3. Use another PC (64-bit) to unlock if MI Unlock Tool fails to detect your device/ unknown error."
but i only have amd pc's and it is a 64bit system (including the os)... but i have found clues in other threads that it might be amd ryzen related, so i guess thats my only option then... what a ****ing ****show xiaomi's software is, it's rediculous!

well since literally every other software works just fine on my ryzen system i doubt amd or ryzen is to blame here...
edit: although i thought it was no use i gave an older amd system a try and it kinda worked... BUT (of course there is a but) now it tells me i have to wait 35h before i can unlock my phone!? didnt they say they got rid of the waiting period? wtf...

You should be glad that it is only 35 hours as against 72 hours that I am facing. To my knowledge, Xiaomi merely said that they changed the earlier method where after registering with them, you had to wait indefinitely till you received a SMS message from them. Now atleast you know how long you have to wait. Some progress

so basically "we got rid of the waiting period! (but there is a second waiting period we left in...)" great, *slow clap...
well that 35h is after ~two days of figuring out wtf is going on, so maybe the timer was already running?!?

May be one of your earlier attempts got through though the tool did not let you know. Because I have not so far seen anything less than 72 hours in the threads I visited.
