I hope someone has found a solution as NO ONE from GOOGLE seems to respond when I sent a support request.. I have not been able to download ANYTHING from the NEW market APP. I tried deleting the android_Secure, looking for the temp file people talk about, deleting cache and data etc. I have since FLASHED the OLD MARKET back. NOW, some APPS will install and SOME updates to apps will install. OTHER APPS and OTHER UPDATES will not install with the "install unsuccessful" message and OTHER apps will try to update but the phone will restart.
I see this listed all over on different forums and I am hoping someone has found a solution. It appears it is a wide spread issue. last night I was able to download a program from the market called FULLHDMI but today I tried to download SPRINT TOTAL PROTECTION APP and it downloads but doesnt install. Then I tried to update FULLHDMI and that worked but another app update didnt and finally a third app update rebooted the phone.
What is going on and how to resolve?? There has to be some kind of fix.
Thanks ....
Dang... you are still having issues? I wish I could help you more man. I have told you all I know to do That sucks!

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.
So heres the scenario:
I have an HTC Desire with Froyo loaded. I had rooted it with unrevoked 3.21 and everything was going fine until an OTA update (apparently an update for marketplace) came out. Yes, I made a stupid error and updated using the OTA and lost the root.
Now I did a factory reset and tried rooting it again with unrevoked 3.22. And surprise surprise! It got rooted again!!
Now the problem here is that, I am trying to re-install some paid and some free applications that were on my phone earlier and Marketplace refuses to even show up those apps in search results...!! They are not present my phone because of the factory reset. Now when I search for the same app in Appbrain it throws up the search result and when I click on it, it behaves as if the app is installed in my system and shows me options like "Open - Uninstall - etc."
Is there some cache in my system that makes it believe that these apps are still there somewhere? I deleted everything from my SD Card and I tried clearing the marketplace cache. I also cleared the Dalvik Cache (dont know if its in any way related to the marketplace, but I still did it)
So what is it thats going wrong? Why arent these apps showing up? Any help would be appreciated. I am quite disillusioned with Android marketplace.
try to install market access to try another country instead. after installing market access force stop market and clear cache.
Tried that, but it didnt work.
After searching the internet about this problem I realised that every ROM has a fingerprint that needs to be registered with Google. If this is not registered with Google, then users cannot find apps that are Copy Protected in the market.
I had recently received an OTA (about 2 weeks ago). So I am assuming that either HTC has not bothered to register this fingerprint with google or google has not updated their database. Either way the situation is pretty deplorable.
The only workaround that I found on the internet is to edit the build.prop file in the Android system (of course you need root access for this). I am planning of trying to do this so that I can fool the market into believing that I am using an older ROM version which is registered with them.
Well, just tried the build.prop method. Successfully spoofed the marketplace.
Shame on Google for having such restrictions. If I didnt have root access and I didnt know about this spoofing method, then I would just have to wait endlessly until either HTC or Google moved their rearside and get things working.
Really disappointed with Android.
I hope someone can help.. I have been having issues downloading 2 updates from the market on my evo4g.. COPILOT LIVE and ANGRY BIRDS.. I tried all suggestions already and nothing has worked... IN CAT LOG it shows this error:
DOWNLOADINGASSETVIEWUPDATER.UPDATEVIEW() ASSET COM.ALK.COPILLOT.MRKET.USA IS IN DOWNLOAD STATE BUT DOWNLOAD FAILED
I also see COULDNT FIND PATHNAME FOR COMPLETED DOWNLOAD URI: CONTENT://DOWNLOADS.DOWNLOAD/687 -- Assuming the download failed
how do I resolve this? other updates and programs work just fine... any help would be appreciated...
Try unmounting your SD card before trying to download the apps.
Settings->SD & Phone Storage
If that works and you want the apps on your SD card, you can move them from Settings->Applications

Tried that and it didnt solve the issue.. I am under the belief that this is an ANDROID MARKET THING and NOT something with my phone..
any other ideas??
Nothing than the ordinary clearing cache/data from market and trying again.

OK I'm still under the assumption that this is a MARKET ISSUE and NOT my phone... I have a support request into android market but no response yet...
Ive tried everything and these are the ONLY 2 apps that dont download anymore..
Someone else was having a problem downloading those two same apps. Theres a thread for it, might have an answer there. It was a day or two ago.
Well, here is what I found out.. IF I uninstall the market update so that I am at the stock market that comes with 2.2 I can download the updates for COPILOT and ANGRY BIRDS.. BUT as soon as the market is updated to the latest version, I cant anymore. why would this happen? I have a support ticket into google to find out why. I tested this by uninstalling the market update and then I was able to download copilot update.. then the market was updated again and I tried ANGRY BIRDS.. NO GO.. SAME ISSUE.. UNINSTALLED the market update again and then was able to download angry birds...
anyone???
OK some updates on my issue..
Some APPS install and some do NOT. I dont know why.. I can uninstall an APP that wont update and the do a regular install of THAT app and it works. I just did that with FLASH 10.2. it would not update with "update unsuccessful" . BUT I uninstalled it the 10.1 version and then downloaded the 10.2 version from market and all installed. I then downloaded move2sd enabler which downloaded fine.. If I switch it on install all apps to SD card (external), they start to install and some give the unsuccessful message and SOME reboot the phone. If I switch it to INTERNAL, NOTHING installs and right away I get an UNSUCCESSFUL message.. if I put it on AUTO, some install land some do not. Any ideas??
Thanks.. I would think GOOGLE would have posted a fix somewhere since I see my issue all over the ANDROID MARKET FORUM and various other forums...
By an chance are you on CM7?

no. the latest SPRINT LOVERS SENSE ROM...
why? is there an issue like this on CM7
I was going to say...well you can still do it. You can try reflashing the rom, and the latest gapps for froyo.
OK.. NOW I am getting can not install in /data/app .. I see this in CATLOG
what does this mean? I even tried to SIDE LOAD an APP but putting the APK on my SD card and it wont install
i was having that same problem with a rom i was using, turned out the rom didnt support adobe flash for some reason. maybe it is the rom.
same issue download/install unsuccessful
Most apps download and install fine
But some return the unsuccessful error
At first it seemed to be only updates but now it's new apps as well
I have sinister rom
Market is still as it was, no Google Play
I've tried every fix mentioned here and nothing works
Facebook can't update
Flickr cant install
Market cant update
etc.
Do you know if this is Google's issue or if it's my Evo?
Getting a reply from Google that even remotely relevant seems impossible
Did you try removing .android_secure

i had the same problem before. i simply restarted my phone and it worked!
Hopefully someone can help.. NEW market will not install or even download anything. I flashed OLD market and 99% of all apps download (some still say download failed right away), some will update no problem.. OTHERS will not . I look in catlog when the install of the update fails.. for instance I tried to update a program called SOUND HOUND.. it downloads but fails the install.
You see in CATLOG this error :
DexInv : --- END '/data/app/com.melodis.midomiMusicIdentifier-2.apk --- status=xff00, process failed
and also
dexopt failed on /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@com.
What does this mean and how to resolve? why do some apps update fine and others get this kind of error?
Well I think I fixed it. Old market is the only one that works. New one won't download or install. I had to erase davlik cache and then market data and goggle services framework data. It appears the new market has issues as there is a big discussion on the google market forum. Glad someone was able to send me the old market.
Oh yea. I also had to uninstall an app and then reinstall the same app from the market and it fixed the issue.

Hi,
Anyone getting an error on Google Play Store installing apps or app updates? Some weeks ago one of my installed apps had an update and when installing it gave an error -- no error code as far as I could see. The update continued to be listed every time I went to the Store and stayed there. Finally I decide to uninstall / install the app hoping it would fix the issue. But no, then I couldn't install the app all together, producing the same error. I've contact the developers and after some weeks they replied saying it was an issue on Google's Store. I've reach Google which after investigating, are not aware of any similar problem. I've also done all the procedures recommended in such situation like cleaning cache, data, ... from Google Store; removing and adding back Google ids on the devices, nothing. Unable to solve this I finally gave up some days back.
Yesterday, the problem started with another app update. I see the update, click install, it downloads, starts installing, gives an error and goes back to be listed in the available updates...
Any help welcome.
Thanks.
Same thing happened to me, the reason is Google Play, I uninstalled Google play since my Chinese version didnt come with one, I then had to use a third party installer and installed the newest Google play and everything went back to normal and was able to install all the apps I havent been able to in the last 2 months but didnt care enough to figure it out until last week when I got fed up.
Hi,
Thanks for the inputs.
I've the EVR-L29 running Google services so I can only remove the updates from the Store, data and cache; which I did but didn't solve the problem. I also removed Google user, reboot, and added it back. Issue still persists...
I've contact Google and seems they are not aware of any similar problem. At least that was the feedback I received.
I do see a couple of comments of other users of the app I can't install with the same problem; someone with a Xiaomi and another user with a Huawei phone.
Any ideas? Thanks.
The only thing I can go by is what occurred to me I couldn't install chipotle app or anything, it took uninstalling it, I do know there is a command to uninstall apps and there was an app as well, been awhile but if memory serves me right, the app you used to find the location was App inspector then you had to uninstall it through and adb command line. I would check to see what version of Google Play you have installed. The version I installed that fixed my issue was version 25.4.20-21
