Let me start off by stating I am far from a newb. I have been rooting and flashing android ROMs since the G1. This is the first time I have run across this. My wife's DInc wont let her install any apps. Install unsuccessful each tome and started on stock ROM. I just rooted wiped and flashed cm7. Still same deal. I have never encountered this. Thinking corrupt internal memory. Anyone else have an idea? Tried wiping market cache data etc... tried signing into Google talk... funny thing is out of warranty by one day now. Awesome timing.

how new is the inc? have you checked that the PRL settings are correct? what message do you get when you try to install apps? it wouldn't hurt to do a *228 just to ensure all settings are written correctly.
I had the same problem but it turned out that the apps couldnt interact with my sd card. does it display a pop up error message when you try to install an app?
Last 2 DIncs I rooted, the SD that came with it was Not FAT32. Those had the same issue you describe, I reformatted SD, worked fine.

I'm having the same issue.. I thought it was from me messing around with the provider #'s like 310004 310012 etc.. im on verizon... cant install anything... get a popup of can install on usb or usb storage.... pic attached. ( http://db.tt/0aLvpMJ )
Well... it let me update these... http://db.tt/wCkP1we
But not these.... http://db.tt/NtTKVRc
I'm stumped... all permissions are set correctly. I've erased data and cache multiple times from the market... I've *228'd... and rebooted MANY TIMES!

Thats the exact same problem i had.
Use root explorer and navigate to /sdcard/.android_secure and delete the file "smdl2tmp1.asec" if it is not in that location then it could be in /mnt/secure/asec/
After i deleted the file it worked just fine with no errors.
Does it install if you unmount the SDcard with the system settings first?
I tried doing that but it didn't work for me. But it doesn't hurt to try.

Ahh, I had an issue with it a while back that was fixed by unmounting the sdcard before installing them. I'd read about it in this article before, maybe it will help someone here: http://lifehacker.com/5714300/how-to-fix-installation-unsuccessful-errors-in-the-android-market
Seems like it mostly covers problems with updates, though.

I'm hoping someone can help.
Recently I started having troubles with my evo.
I am able to download apps from the market but they get stuck "installing".
This happened on Fresh 3.1
I then wiped and installed cm6 and again, same problem. On both I tried killing the downloader service as well as the market. I cleared the market data but could not clear its cache because it was stuck computing.
I tried installing apps from titanium backup and it gets stuck at 0%.
I then used another installer I got from when I installed tweet deck. It's an installer meant to allow you to install apk's received in emails.
That also got stuck.
Un installing also doesn't work. Gets stuck.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I'm at a loss.

Hit cancel in the market and redownload. I find myself in the same position. Sometimes hangs on download or install..
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Can't cancel, the button says "installing" and it is greyed out.

It started working. It's strange since it didn't work across different roms.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This has happened to me, sometimes it will install later after canceling the download. But I really think it has to do with titanium, not sure why, but I stopped using it and never have the problem anymore. I am good with starting fresh each time as long as I have my contacts saved to the sdcard.
It might be titanium..
I couldn't leave well enough alone..
I flashed cm6 back onto my phone then ran titanium.
At 16/100 app installs...the phone froze and rebooted. It wouldn't boot back into cm6.
I got stuck at the EVO splash.
I reflashed cm6 back on after wiping it, this time without the snap kernel, and the problem is back.. :\
If this ever happens again go to the /download directory on your memory card and you'll find the apk. You can then install from that. This happened to me a few times.
I'm not sure what you're referring to..but the installer doesn't work either way.
I tried installing some apk's I have in my sd card and the installer gets stuck at "installing" with the little bar under it continuously moving.
Why is this and how do I fix this, also, why can't I connect usb anymore, tried 2 different cords and 2 different computers. It was working just the other day.

I somewhat solved the first part, just unmount the sd card then everything downloads.

I have the same issue where NOTHING will download from the market.. I tried all the solutions I found on the net. NOTHING.. any ideas?
Same here, I've been complaining about this for a while.
I tried reload my ROM and manually downloading every app again. I found that the problem re-appears once I restore just the "data" portion of an app from Titanium Backup.
I wonder if either (1) something is getting corrupted or (2) it craps out if I restore settings from an older version of an app.
I've got about 30 updates waiting in the market, and can no longer download anything either.
Have your tried, force closing the market from applications, clear the cache, and reboot?
I have CM6 and I have a few issues and questions. First, I recovered by backup with Titanium after I flashed CM6 and Gapps. Before I had almost all of my apps on my SD card and everything worked fine. When I restored, everything was placed on the phone. A few apps weren't even showing up under my downloads in the market app. I then moved everything back to my sd card and apps with shortcuts updated, but widgets and swype are not showing up, even after moving them back to the phone.
How do I get the new version of android market for CM6? I tried downloading an app through the markets site on my computer but it did not download, or get forwarded to my phone, for some reason.
Which kernel should I use to overclock? Ive read a few posts and comments about a few kernels and some apparently cause more bugs and issues.
Thank you.
EDIT: Ive managed to find solutions to most of my issues. The only problem I'm having now is apps not installing from the Market website. Im using CM6 and flashed 2.2.11 of the market app to my phone. Whenever I hit install on the site it claims to download but nothing is reaching my phone.
That happened to me the only solution i found for mine was formating the sd card. First you should try to fix-permissions n then reboot if that dosent work id suggest backing up your sd data on ur comp n formating

So after i flashed RCMix3d Runny v4.0 I tried to download an app from the market and get the error: "app name" could not be downloaded due to an error. It happens with any app I try to download any app from the market. I tried many things with no luck
-clear market data and cache. didnt work.
-uninstall market update. didnt work
- switch gmail accounts. didnt work
-flashed back to my previous rom. didnt work
I did wipe the phone before i flashed RCMix3s Runny v4.0
when I restored my previous rom it didnt work so i tried to wipe my phone again and reflashed the rom and still didnt work
can anyone please help me out here?
what exactly did you wipe? data & cache? use superwipe, maybe this helps...
i wiped data and cache. ill try superwipe
anyone? i tried superwipe and the problem is still there
Check your SD Card
check your SD card, take it or mount it on your PC and do a chkdsk (might need the /f to fix errors). Last time I had an issue downloading apps, my sd card was messed up. I don't understand why that would be.
good luck.

I had this issue when I first loaded mexdroid.
The first work-around I found was to select a different language option after the flash (during setup). English US wouldn't work, but English UK would give me access to the market. However it screwed up my data connection so that was a no go.
I eventually found that this only happened when I downloaded and flashed using ROM manager (first, and last time I've ever used that). Once I downloaded from their site and flashed myself through recovery, everything was perfect.
I currently have this exact same issue, only I went from mexdroid to synergy and back. I haven't tried wiping anything yet but I got this suggestion in my thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19432854#post19432854
Go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All
Find Market, first force stop, then clear data
Next find download manager, first force stop, then clear data
reboot into recovery and wipe the dalvick cache
then reboot system and try your market again
I'm going to try this soon and I'll let you know my results, but if you discover a fix first please post back, I don't like having a broken market!

I had done all that when I had the issue. It didn't work for me but heres hoping it does for you!
So you basically had to wipe everything and reflash mexdroid from scratch?
EDIT: I just tried the method I posted above and it didn't work. WTF, what happened? I don't understand how my backup doesn't work now, shouldn't it be exactly the same as it was before?
I'm going to try one last thing, I have 2 mexdroid's backed up about a week apart, at the time they both worked just fine but I'm going to restore the older one and see if that helps at all.
2nd EDIT: OP, I don't know why this worked and I don't know if this will help you, but I just reverted back to my mexdroid backup from BEFORE I tried the sense rom and everything is back to working. I don't know why but installing the sense rom definitely did something to screw things up. I also don't know if this had anything to do with anything but I unchecked the "auto update" option for market. I hope you can resolve your issue, good luck to you
For me when I tried switching gmail accounts again it started working.
I also accidently wiped out my sd card. That was right before I decided I wanted to go back to CM7. When logged into my gmail account I forgot I had to use my second gmail account, but for some reason it started downloading apps again.
Not sure if wiping the sd card had anything to do with it but it works now. I'm happy
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Glad you got it working, I'm happy with my results too but I'd still like to know wth happened to cause it in the first place. It's gotta be something related to google accounts somehow, but why did trying a Sense-based rom cause it?
weird solution
I tried clearing everything in order to get the market problem fixed when I had this same problem. In different orders, flashing, wiping, etc.
Finally, I linked a second gmail account, and now it can download. Why might this happen?
The weirdest thing, is that when I switch to the original account, it still doesn't work. Maybe a security file was corrupted somewhere?
I read something about google market locking somebody out if it thought there where too many devices attached or something. Haven't found anything to confirm that and I still don't know why I got locked out or why it started working again, but if making a new account worked that makes me think there's some truth to the market lock out theory.

Guys, this worked for me w/o changing google account or wiping sd,
1.)Turnoff your phone
2.) Remove Battery
3.) Remove External Sd Card count maybe 3-5seconds
4.) put sd card back in and battery
5.) turn it on and see if you can download again
I tried all of the solutions listed here; switching Google accounts, downloading an app, then switching back to my main account solved it. Thanks so much!
I had the same problem, going to accounts and removing my google account then adding it again fixed the problem
I added new account with the sync app, open the market, switch account, download some apps, switch back to old account and download other app. This fixed the problem. Thanks.

None of the posts on here worked for me ): I will keep trying though and post something if it starts working.
Today I started getting a strange error when downloading select apps onto my internal SD card. Most apps download just fine, but some of them have this error when I try to download them. Since it's an internal SD, I can't mount/unmount, so I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. I am currently running Nocturnal Venum v1.0, but when I was on the older version before upgrading today, I never had this problem.
Apps that cause this error:
Aldiko
Sprint NBA Mobile
Cordy
Running Fred
There seems to be no correlation between the size of the app and whether this happens. When trying to restore them through TB though, TB just freezes and I need to reboot my phone if I want to use TB again.
Has anyone else gotten this error? If so, how did you fix it?
unmount sd card, go back to market and install apps, then remount sd. been a bug on a lot of ICS builds
edit: i didn't read well enough. I see you already crossed this bridge
That's just Titanium Backup. I have several apps that do that every time. Just manually redownload those apps from Play store. Delete the backups for the apps that freeze and redownload, and rebackup. Fixed the issue for a few of those for me.

No, as I said in the post, it freezes when restoring with TB and i get this error when installing with the play store

TB freezes on several of apps everytime for me too. As for the market there are 3 fixes that I know of: 1) unmount usb when installing 2) use a stock kernel 3) clear data/cache for google play and download manager, then reboot.
It could also be a bad ROM flash.

Thanks for the help but I've already tried all of them and none of them work :/
I don't think it's a bad ROM flash because I reflashed and redownloaded 3x and the same thing is happening, oddly enough. I guess I'll have to deal with it.
If I remember, FD02 had those problems. It's worked ok again in FD10 and FD16 so far. Can't remember about FD05. You can always unmount your sd card, load or restore the apps, then remount. That is a good work around.

Ever find a solution? I still don't have it. I have had issues with this in the past, as well. I was running ICS a while ago but went back to GB for this reason. I have to be able to get medscape or epocrates. I just tried ICS again and it's greatly improved, but I see this appears still broken.

So, the issue (at least one of them) is that apps that require installation on the SD won't install. CY9 has issues with this, as well, per this link

If anyone is still having this problem, mine was solved installing the latest ICS kernel. My problem started because I accidentally installed FD10 instead of FE10. But when I installed the right one, the latest kernel for the latest AOKP biuld, it started working again. Might be worth checking which kernel you might have installed.
Deleting smdl2tmp1.asec worked for me. Would post link to more info but not allowed. Sadface.
where is this file located -- nm found it
Uninstall then re install!
All I did was uninstall then re install the app, this sounds kinda risky because I thought I may lose the app completely, but it worked :laugh: ! I did this with exDialer, but have not attempted to see if it will work with any other apps with this error. Sometimes just persevering and repeatedly trying to install the damn thing works (but not usually!) Hope this helps
