Lost access to copy protected apps after root + A2SD

Hi guys I rooted my desire using the live cd method, powered up my phone before installing a2sd and I could see all of my download history on the market with access to all apps. After this I booted into recovery using step2 on the live cd and installed A2SD. When I turned the phone on again all of the download history was gone and I can't see apps like Google Earth, National Rail etc.
I thought I did something wrong so I wiped the device and installed the rooted rom update again with a2sd at the same time. The problem still exists and nothing has changed.
Could you please help me because this is very annoying and I cant set up my phone the I want until this is resolved.

Very strange... Use Market enabler > http://market-enabler.googlecode.com/files/MarketEnabler_latest.html
install, apply new settings and reboot, problem solved

Thanks for the suggestion but the market enabler doesn't solve it, I tried it.
Another strange thing that I found is I have an .apk of CoPilot which I was using before rooting and when I tried installing it now it gives me an error "Application not installed".

I still haven't solved this problem and its really bugging me.
I un-rooted my phone and used a different google account with no luck. I still don't see some applications in the market.
Just to let you know I am in the UK using a generic sim free desire on 3 network. Could you please, please, please help me out. I am running out of options and I thought unrooting would fix it.

Weird issue you are describing. As far as I know it depends on the fingerprint of the build.prop in the ROM (and if Google added it to the white list(?)) or not.
Many people are using the rooted ROM (all the same build.prop) and they can access protected apps just fine. So probably the problem lies elsewhere.

I have a similar problem, before I rooted my device I could see all apps I bought in my g1 days. After I rooted first of all none showed up, after a day or so only a few showed up... rebooted a few more times (only ever flashed once using Windows with apps2sd) now I have a few I had before show up not all just a few and thats how its been since. weird. I had half results :/

Same problem here with one single application.
Had SlideIT paid version installed on stock firmware.
Once i rooted it gave me the message "application not installed" once i tried to install it.
Funny enough the SlideIT lite version is still able to install fine.
Definitely want it to work again, so i hope someone knows how to fix it

I tried a couple of different ROMs today and had this same problem, clicking My Downloads would just show a blank screen, and there was no "Top Paid Apps" tab. I tried unrooting, rerooting, nothing fixed it, until I found this;
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=1ea082d443f3d16c&hl=en
Pushing that xml file (note the spelling mistake before you do it) fixed it all back up, no idea what caused it to get all messed up and why it wasn't fixed by wiping and reflashing.

I tried to push the file via adb shell in windows and got permission denied. Am I doing it right or do I need to root the phone again to be able to push that file because I have reverted back to the generic stock rom?

Mine was rooted when I pushed it, try re-rooting it and pushing it again I guess.

I finally got around to re-rooting it and tried your solution with pushing that file but no change to my market
Just to be clear I can see the Top Paid apps tab, but I cant access copy protected apps like Google Earth.

[Q] Market problem

Yesterday i flashed the latest version of the runny Rom and everything seemed fine until i tried to download apps from the market. i cant download anything, market keeps showing that its going to start downloading but the progress bar never moves, i force close Market app and the progress bar doesn't dissapear from the notificacion bar.
i thought i t was the rom so i restore to my previous rom, and the market wasn't working either.
i've tried every solution i've seen on this and other boards (clear data/cache from market app, start gtalk when downloading, clear date/cache from every gApp, uninstall market updates )
i've wipped everything on recovery and installed 4 diferent roms (1.0 2.1 3.0 and 3.5) i've done everything i can think of, and my market still doesn't download anything.
i really hope some could help me.

im gonna try that, and report how it went.

no luck with the fix.apk, im trying to de-root and re-root to see if it helps..

still no luck, please i need help, i've just went back to stock, s-On, and market still not working, then unrevoked, s-Off, custom rom, market still broken. i've tested the the next roms with no luck:
-Community Rc5
-Runny Revolution v1
-Incredible HD V1.0.4 (and with the updates to 1.0.5)
-Miui 1.9.3
-CyanogenMod 7.0.3
-Stock 1.0
-Stock 2.1
Kernels:
- Stock
- Latest Gingertiny
Hope this info could lead to a fix to my problem.

Ok, i think i've found the culprit, i've just tested to download only on 3g/1x and downloads start and finish, on every rom, but when i try to download through wi-fi, downloads never start.
i've checked other sources on the web and apparently its a common issue with all kinds of android phones not just my inc, and some people are able to fix it unblocking some ports on their routers, but i've done that with no luck..
but i have a hunch that my problems started when i installed the latest beta of gingertiny, the one that enables 802.11n... hope with this extra info someone could help me, im really desperate.

Thanx to the couple of people who actually tried to help, if anyone runs into this problem with the market i've found the solution, its not your phone (rom, mods, radios) its actually some kind of issue with your router.. i've just factory reset my router, and the downloads from market started to work again.. hope this helps someone in the future.

updating..
i've found a temporary fix for this!
Yesterday after i reseted my router i though my problems with the market where gone, but they started a couple of hours later.. so i asumed that i wasn't my routers fault.
so i started again testing roms, kernels, unroot, reroot, and bam! found a fix.. not the best one but so far i can download anything from the market..
what i did was:
1.- unroot with PB31IMG.zip (stock rom from last year)
2.- connect to wifi during initial setup
3.- login to my google account during setup
4.- open market app (version 1.82 i think)
5.- download any app (wait what? yes im downloading)
6.- market updates itself and i stop being able to download anything.
so it seems obvious that the culprit was the market, so i freezed "market_updater.apk" to stop the market from autoupdating, uninstall updates and create a backup of that markets verison (1.82)
now im running community rom with that market and everything its perfect, hope this helps someone in the future.

[Q] Problem downloading/updating and deleting apps. unrooted

It seems like ever since the market updated to google play i can't download any new apps on my phone (the force close and disappear as soon as i open them). Also, when i try to update existing apps they also force close and disappear but they end up coming back if i restart my phone. Also applications that i've had on my phone that i don't use any more I can't get rid of. I delete them and they come right back as well.
I've tried to restore my phone in tons of diffrent ways, regular factory reset, ruu, thought hboot, and htc sync. Factory reset and hboot just give me a red exclamation that i can't get around, the ruu someone told me to use didn't work i believe because the version of android i'm running and htc sync always tells me my phone isn't connected when clearly it is because i can open it up and explore it on my computer.
I'm at a loss, anyone have any ideas?
Time for a new phone?

Maybe consider rooting? I actually haven't seen a dinc with GB 2.3.4 that upgraded to google play, for some reason I've seen it stay with the market. My phone hasn't been in stock for a long time so I couldn't really say if that were true now but I know that google play was first released back in March and mid-april when I first rooted my Dinc, it was still on the android market. That being said, the dinc is far from trash if you are willing to root and flash a custom ROM to it.
I've seen this problem on ROMs when the version of gapps wasn't compatible with the ROM anymore because either the ROM was updated or gapps was updated and compatibility was lost. Usually in that situation I would recommend that person to do a fresh flash of their ROM with the newest google apps but in your case I would suggest flashing a custom ROM for the first time. if that is not an option you want to explore at this time, I believe that if you place this PB31IMG.zip on the root of your SD card (which must be formatted to FAT32) and then get into hboot it will reflash gb for you which might do the trick.

my DINC upgraded to google play when it was on stock. But really, stock sucks and has bugs. Upgrade to a real firmware listed here

[Q] SOLVED Lost root, trying to figure out why. Help, please?

Update 2: Root was still acting wonky. I was getting multiple requests per app and it wasn't remembering my preference even with the box checked. I tried to allow all but it just wouldn't work at all that way. So I went to update the binaries just to be sure and I had version 3.2 while the latest (and I'm assuming stable) version is only 3.1.1. So if anyone has the problems I did, UPDATE YOUR BINARIES! That fixed everything for me.
Update: I uninstalled the Superuser apk via ES File Explorer, reinstalled it from the Play Store, and just let the phone sit while I was browsing and looking for an answer and when I went back to it Superuser opened and my root was back. I'm not sure if what I did helped but if anyone else has this problem then I can only recommend what I did. If someone can explain what I did wrong or why I lost root, that would still be helpful. If this post needs to be deleted then the mods can do so, I left it in case anyone else runs into this and searches the forums for it.
I have the At&t ion and I managed to get root on ICS on my second try. I was happy about it and decided to start flashing some zips after installing CWM so I deodexed, rebooted, and then flashed one of the status bar tweaks. When I rebooted again Superuser would force close as soon as it opened with the message "Unfortunately Superuser has stopped working". I still have root access in ES File Explorer since I granted it before Superuser stopped working. I cannot however grant any new root permissions since Superuser won't open.
I'm willing to reflash GB and start from scratch again, I'd just like to know what the reason is (was it deodexing? Flashing the zip for the status bar? Or is this just something that can happen?) so I can avoid it the next time. I'm not too excited about having to redownload all my apps for the 3rd time (I was living without root on ICS but decided to go ahead and get it) so if there's a way around it I'd like to find it. Any help is appreciated. I'll try to reply as quickly as possible, thanks guys.

[Q] [Redmi 1s] Can't download anything from playstore

Hi, i got the redmi1s few days ago. Today, i decided to root it and right after that i couldn't download anything from the playstore. It just keeps on buffering. Once in a while after rebooting it starts downloading but, it is freakishly slow. things that took 5 mins before takes more than half hour and/or it says couldn't download in the process.
i.imgur.com/eb6FPyI.png
I've tried clearing data, cache on the apps, factory reset, removing and adding back google account and other things that were suggested in the forum.
Edit: now i can't seem to install anything. While trying to install it says the file could not be parsed or something. Happens after rebooting the device.
i.imgur.com/yUGvp5p.png
Edit: Somehow, was able to download supersu from the playstore and it said no storage available while i haven't even installed anything happens when i'm installing externally.
i.imgur.com/4I7YVeH.png
So yeah, are there any solution/s for the following problems. I'm planning to flash a new rom, PAC. But, i've never fiddled around much before.

Try

The apk file shows not enough space and after reboot the apk file is says file couldn't be parsed as in the pictures in the op.

Good luck !
