Install error -18 - Desire General

Hey.
Ive tried finding an answer for tgis on the OD thread but had no luck.
From yesterday, I have been unable to download/update Dolphin browser blue theme and MiniSquadron.
I did a fresh wipe as Adam sugfested, and it worked, I then went back to a nand to backup my apps via titanium, went back to the rom that worked and I had errors again.
Ive since tried on OD .15, .17 & .18 all with no luck. Also tried LeeDroid 2.1, latest AOSPDesire and Pinky 1.8 and still nothing.
Does anyone know what causes this or any fix?

I use the same blue theme but although I didn't get your error, I too couldn't install the same theme. So I uninstalled to an old version of Dolphin HD (before the ads), added the blue theme and then updated Dolphin HD to the latest version. It somehow worked fine(and it's much better than it was back then).
Using OD 4.0.4 and HTC 2.2.

Ahh, forgot to edit, this has been fixed. It was an error on the ext partition, apps were trying to create a file that was already there or something like that.
Just had to repartition the sd card and all is well

and how do you do that exactly because i have the same error with pocket legends

Market not Working (after froyo upgrade)...

I have been using the same old Fresh Evo rom from basically day one since I've had my evo when it first came out... Yesterday I decided it was finally time to upgrade from 2.1 to a 2.2 rom - so I downloaded the latest Fresh Rom 3.5.0.1 which worked fine except that I couldn't add my google account for the life of me. It wouldn't take when phone first booted up, or by manually launching the Market app either, didn't matter if it was via 3G or WiFi (and I checked and double checked and confirmed that data was working on both just fine!).
So I spend an hour googling around & find out about the YouTube app trick, so I sign in through that, and I'm in! Now when I go to Settings > Accounts & Sync, I see my Google account has been added. I can sync my gmail, contacts, and calendar. I thought all was good...
But now when I run the Market app I get the following: Attention - "A server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." ...If I hit 'retry' it just shows the same stupid error & 'cancel' kicks me out to home screen. When I load GTalk it tries to load but just kicks me to the home screen...
Frustrated, I went on a rom flashing spree (before each flash I do a "Wipe data/factory reset" & "wipe cache" & "wipe dalvik-cache")... I installed the previous version of Fresh 3.4.0.1 (also froyo) and no dice. I then flashed the most recent 2.1 Fresh rom which was v1.0.1 (pre froyo) and it WORKED! So then I flashed back to the latest Fresh 3.5.0.1 but still have the same issues. I then flashed Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5 (which is a dope rom btw) but I am STILL getting the same stupid issues... Flashed back to Fresh rom v1.0.1 and of course that works... but it seems anything with Froyo doesn't work!
The EXACT same thing is happening to another Evo I also updated yesterday as well. So I know it's not a problem specific to just the ONE phone...
I'm stumped. Any ideas? I've tried clearing the cache for the Market app, I've done a factory reset via "Settings > SD & Phone Storage > Factory Data Reset", I've used a completely different & freshly formatted microSD card, I've enabled 'mock locations', I've ensured 'background data' was checked... I've even done the adb commands from geekfor.me/new-release/fresh-evo-3501/ with no luck...
This is driving me nuts!
Dam.
That sucks well did you upgrade from the push that sprint sent? I know that 3. 5.1 work for me. I pick up my evo on june 4th night
Device: HTC EVO 4G OS=2.2 ROM=Calkulin's EViO 2 v1.7.5 [email protected]#15 Hardware=0002 Software=3.70.651.1 BaseBand=2.15.00.11.19 Brower=Webkit 3.1 PRI= 1.90_003/60672
I've always done my updates manually... I have a 3rd evo that doesn't have this problem that I recently updated to Fresh 3.5.0.1 and it's working just fine. But it wasn't a launch phone, and after rooting, the first rom I flashed to it was a 2.2 based Fresh rom anyway...
Still racking my brain on this... I recently tried flashing this blue version of the market update @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888330 - thought I'd give it a shot but I'm still having the same issues.
I've also flashed latest MIUI, EViO, SteelROM... no luck. If I don't do the YouTube trick, the Market will give me the following error: "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". But the funny thing is I am able to load webpages both prior & after trying to sign in with my google account. And then if I do the YouTube trick, again I am able to add my google account, but whenever I access the market it shows the error I mentioned in my first post...
I'm having this same problem..I haven't flashed a new market yet so I'll be trying that next.
Did you ever solve this issue?
Edit: Flashing new market didn't work, said instalation was aborted...I'm thinking cause it's for 2.3 GB and I'm on Froyo
Also, just to note, I had to do the youtube login trick in order to get my google accounts to sync
Same problem. This sucks.
I don't know if this would have much to do with it, but have you upgraded your radio? I know that most of the 3.70 based roms (the majority of newer roms) require a minimum radio version. I believe there is a post in the development section with all the radio files. Be sure you have your wimax partition backed up before you flash though, just to be in the safe side.

i had a similar problem a while ago and what helped me was uninstalling the market with titanium backup, then going to settings/apps/manage apps/ and clearing the data from the market, then i downloaded the stock market, it was a while ago so i don't remember where i found the thread to the stock market download. but after doing that my market began working again

[Q] Unable to install "large" apps/games on HTC Desire running CM7 (RC1 & RC2)

[Q] Unable to install "large" apps/games on HTC Desire running CM7 (RC1 & RC2)
Hello,
Since I'm new to the forum, I'm not allowed to post in the DEV thread, but the issue is here and found as well some others having the same issue on the CM7 RC2 thread but without any fix.
HTC Desire rooted, Alpha Rev S-OFF, wiped, then CM7-RC1 installed.
I did restore from Titanium backup the Angry Birds game with all my stars, then I saw an update in the market, but I was not able to download it.
The download initialized and then simply failed before the 1st % can be shown.
Tried several times to re-launch the download but still the same.
I've also had the same issue with other apps/games I wanted to try (e.g. Cordy, Pig Rush, Air Attack HD, etc...)
I then wanted to try another ROM, so I went GingerVillain 1.4 running GB 2.3.3 already.
Once running, I was able to download and install the Angry Birds update without any issue.
3rd step, I saw CM7-RC2 was out, as I liked CM7 better than GV, I decided to try it so I wiped again my phone, and flashed CM7-RC2.
Waited all the my apps download from the Market and then tried to download Angry Birds again. Same issue then with RC1.
Anyone having a solution for me or will I have to go GV again to DL the St Patrick and RIO versions of Angry Birds and going back to CM7 ?
Thanks
When restoring, wipe the cache and see what it does. You also tried to use the web market and not going through the app?
Which cache should I wipe?
Yes, I did try the web market & also Fast web installer with AppBrain without success

I did wipe Dalvik & cache partition in CWM. Nothing better.
I found something else, when trying to wipe the Dalvik cache I got an error :
Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2
Searched around for this error, but can't find anything relevant as I did not create any externe partition by myself... Could a rom install create an ext partition?

[Q] "Download Failed" - Market Problem after flashing...

Hi there,
hope you can help me. I used to have the usual OTA update, but got pissed because of the locations force from HTC. So I decided to downgrade and flash a custom rom.
I used the tutorial available here, did visionary, then s-off and eng radio s-off, even flashed the radio as recommended (after flashing the roms).
I tried several ROMs:
- [ROM] Android Revolution HD 5.1.7
- [ROM]LeeDrOiD HD V3.0.3 GB [KERNEL] V3.1.2
- [ROM][May 20]RCMix3D KINGDOM v1.0 Evolutionary Sense! THE ORIGINAL SENSE 3.0
All seemed to install fine, but all had the same problem:
Via Android Market, every download failed. Why?
Please help! I want my apps back!
Could be a router problem. Have you tried using the data connection rather than WiFi?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Have you tried clearing the data for the market app?
Setting>application>manage app>clear data and cache.
Sent from my TARDIS using XDA App
Router works fine,
cleared everything via the app menü. downloader, market, etc.
In no way, this phone does any download startet via market. Crazy thing is, that via http://market.android.com/ I can start the downloads, but not within the app.
I tried 4 Roms, and even the Stock Rom without root does not work properly anymore.
Please help, I am really helpless.
Did chat now about 2hrs with HTC live support. They are helpless too.
Resettet the phone all over, again and again.
Funny thing is, that under apps, installed apps, listed are:
- amazon mp3
- facebook
- soundhood
those three work. the others dont. neither am i allowed to mark google maps as "update automatically" (my phone is german), and every try updating or installing apps fails.
Funny thing is, that with a blank account, another gmail account with no content, it seems to work. But I need my main mail account of course, as I made purchases already, etc.
Please, someone here to help?

Installed the RunnyMede 5.0 ROM by Sebastian15 the other day, The ROM although is very impressive, fast and such but there is one issue that I'm facing. Whenever I try to go to the market app using wifi, it gives a network error and says to either retry or close. Works fine on Edge but not on WIFI.
If any of you beautiful people have faced this issue and found a working solution, Pls share

Hi there I am having a similar issue. But not quite the same. I am updated to the latest market but am unable to go to myapps directory. Every time I click on my apps I am being given my google account and an option to brows apps and games.
All help is highly appreciated.
I think it has something to do with gmail not syncing on wifi.. they are the only two things not fine atm. I hope someone got a workaround this?
All of my other g-mail apps a synced : calendar ,contacts etc.
In the beginning of using this ROM and on first installation prior to moving back my apps everything seemed OK and I was able to access the market. I cleared the market cashe as well as my g-mail account but to no avail
I think I fixed it on my own. I reformatted my sd card, started from scratch, made the partitions etc.. did a full wipe, reinstalled, and now it works flawlessly.. Make sure to have a ext4 partition, i think that helps :S
Let me know if this works for you too.
I am with 1gb ext 4 partition. Will tru the A2SD++ version with a clean wipe. Hopefully it will fix it,other wise this is a brilliant ROM.

I don't have such a problem with a clean 5.0.
But did you try to flash market 3.3.11 from addons?
It was automatically added,mate. Running the latest version from several days and still the same issue and non of the installed apps get updated. I am waiting for Runny 5.2 to make another full wipe and clean install. I hope it will solve the issue.Thanks for the help any way.
i think you should download last version of market...

Did you try the route I mentioned? It works for me now, flawlessly.
I am with the latest market version ,but do not want to re-format the card. Simply will wait for 5.2 to be released if the issue continues will follow your steps ,mate.Appreciate the help.
Will be flashing 5.2 in a while.. will update then
Me too,but I solved it.
You may entering "setting">application>app management, then at "market" ,click it ,wipe the app cache , so you now run the app ,no more issue.
Try it and let us know, btw 5.2 works like a charm

Issue partially solved
Since i did the cahce cleaned on version 5.0 as well but forgot to mention it .Yesterday I made a full wipe and clean install on version 5.2. I set up the ROM and checked the market and it was running fine. Afterwords I restored my apps. with MyBack UP root and the issue reoccurred so I figured out it is from the back up. I used titanium to make the back up - full wipe and set up the ROM again.I restored my apps with Titanium the market works fine but the ROM itself does not recognize my returned applications in the myapps market list. However the original ROM applications are being recognized so I can live with that for the moment. If you have any suggestions I am open for them.
Hi all,
It seems the market is running slowly than the previous version and I read if you use setdns app sets on "dhcp/disable" the market is running very quickly than before. Change Dns.
if that's help....
Thanks.
Fred.
Thanks for the prompt will try it tonight !
I don't have any problems with runny Rom and market , but you'll try the new version 5.3 i think everything is ok there ...

Oh BTW I'm with Runny 5.2 with ad2sdx-1.0-RC01 Script Everything is fine here and verry smoothness Today (but i think later) I'll "Fix" my Rom with 5.3
As it turnes out it has something to do with backing up applications. Installed all in one version and returned all of the applications simply by installing them from the matket and it seems the problem is solved for the moment. Cheers and thank you for your help.

WildChild 3.3 PowerAmp problem

Hey guys,
Just installed (by the install tut) the Odexed version and found one problem for me:
When I try to install PowerAmp (music app) it get stuck on installing. Waited about an hour and did a normal restart......after that the phone is stuck on the red loading screen at startup. Had to do a fresh install. Have tried about 10 times now. Other programs installed from Market fine.
Problem is just with the PowerAmp - really love the program have the full version. It worked with WildChild Sense rom.
