After rooting my sprint evo 4g my market no longer works. I have tried the advice from gat (gadgets and tablets) but that did not work. What do I do???
Need more specifics. "Not working" is very general haha
Does this mean:
1) Won't load
2) Won't download apps
3) Isn't showing up at all
4) Is just force closing like it's its job
It will let me even search for an ap most of the time but will not let me download and will force close every time. This puts a damper on tethering because I cannot download the wireless tether after root ap. I'm still on clockwork mod and rooted via unrevoked
I'm actually downloading another ROM, MikFroYo 4.5, in hopes that flashing another ROM would give the market another chance to work properly. All the people I know that have rooted androids, including one with an evo, have fully working markets and can still download aps. I am not sure of another way to get the wireless tether after root or titanium backup. I have been trying to learn from forums and google but I seem to be coming to a dead end on this topic. It seems to be happening to some other people but nobody has given them a useful answer it seems. The best answer I found was from GAT but they were specifically doing the process on a tablet and after trying this process my market was still a lame duck. Also, while someone is checking on this thread (thanks so much by the way, this is the second time I tried to get some feedback on this forum and the first went by unanswered for about a half a week), what would be a good ROM that would not take away 4g capabilities, let me get an ap back like sprint t.v. but still allow most sprint aps (nascar, blockbuster, nova, etc.) to be deleted (although I think I can do this with titanium backup if I can ever get it downloaded), improve speed and battery life, and not be very glitchy/buggy?

Okay, go to the 2nd post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900584
There's a .zip for the stock android market. Boot into recover (if you don't have rom manager, turn off phone, volume down + power, select recovery) and flash the zip. Should install the working stock market. I used it when I uninstalled updates using Titanium Back-up and it deleted my whole market.
thanks dude i'll check it out.

eww, I had high hopes but it still force closes when I try and download wireless tether. Any other suggestions? In the mean time I'm going to see if using another ROM might help the situation...maybe give it a fresh start or something.
Yeah same story after new ROM...not able to download anything yet anybody else had the same problem and came out on top/would love to hear your solution?
What rom were u running first? Try flashing a stock rooted rom? If that doesn't work try ruu but leave s-off so it's easy to re-root quckly.

clockwork standard untouched from unrevoked and now mikfroyo 4.5...still no luck. I'll try another ROM but I think I have to have a new market or something like that. Is ruu unrooting?
Are you wiping data and cache each time you flash a new ROM? If not, you probably need to.
Are you restoring apps with Titanium Backup after flashing the new ROM? If so, only restore user apps (i.e. don't restore system apps). I've seen some squirrelly things happened when restoring system apps.
Last thing, from your home screen, try going in to Settings...Applications...Manage Applications. Tap on the "All" tab at the top and scroll down to Market and select it. Tap on the "Clear Data" button under Cache.
think i got it under control
You need to reflash gapps if you flashed a new cm rom

[Q] app is Your device is not compatible with this item when it is :(
Ok so I tried searching and the only answers I could come up with were for a different rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11626645&postcount=425) as the video said I'm a noob I hate myself, it's right lol. But I can't seem to figure this out. Before I dive in I want to know if it's similar for my current ROM to these steps. I don't want to screw anything up I tried clearing the market data, and checking the adult filter. None of that helped.
Phone is HTC DHD Telus is the provider, So I rooted to Android_Revolution_HD-4G_6.1.5 without any problem. Flashed over to the suggested radio. Phone seems to be working good and fast but I can't install the app. It ran on my phone before I rooted... what am I doing wrong. Even when I find it not through the market. It takes me to the market and says "Your device is not compatible with this item" and I know that's a load of crap. If there's someone smarter then me out there (so pretty much anyone) Help please

I'm having same problems with other apps and an earlyer version of ARHD(6.1.2). Would sure like to know how to resolve this. I'm thinking the ROM gives back a model, android version and manufacturer to android market(and maybe more info, i'm not an expert). If this says HTC Desire HD android 2.3.3, this is good. If this says Android Revolution Desire HD android 2.3.5 and this is not the response in the list of "the app" you want to download than market says "NO"???????? Or maybe it's something else?
At least I'm not the only one who can't figure it out
From what I can gather, its the new market causing the problem.
Wait until google fix it, or install an older market and delete the updater.

+1 JagDave is right!!
And you may also try :
1. Change the LCD density to 240 by editing build.prop using buildprop editor or something from the market,
2. Reboot (Normal),
3. Go to settings, then application, find market there and clear the cache and data (very important), and
4. Open Market and try to download your apps now!!
Worked for me, dont know about you but i hope it does work for you as well!!
I ended up going and swapping to CM7 cause I was having some other issues and that seemed to fix it thanks everyone!

I am running a custom rom and have recently been getting spamed with sprints OTA update notifications for the firmware and voice mail. From my understanding I can't install these since I have a rooted phone running a custom rom but I would like to stop getting notified about this update every few hours. How can I make it STFU?!
this has been answered many times over. search is your friend.
I tried that before taking the time to make a post and it was as useful as your response.
wow well have fun. I have helped many people and know for a fact if you push that little button called search this forum you will find it. its people like you who I won't help. if you can search for yourself using the criteria you posted in your first post you may have found this. it was the first one.

wow must admit that is pretty big of you and nice going. also have to say his lack of response from the forum was probably because he had to be about the 20th person to ask that same thing. I know it can be difficult to find things sometimes but I am a firm believer in a thorough search and that includes going page by page prior to posting.
nice to see things work out at xda.... Also I am the guy who posted a FOTAkill.zip file thats flashable to stop the OTA updates. Hopefully you found what you are looking for but if not just search for the zip I mentioned or look in UnNamed's thread in development
cool I didn't know you made a zip to do it. thanks.
I installed FOTAkill.apk a while back.
I have a Sprint Samsung Epic Touch.
I am running Rooted Stock EK02 and when the latest EL29 came out it was crappy. I went back to my Stock EK02 and kept getting the OTA update. I installed FOTAkill. Its been a few weeks.
My question is, Does simply removing the fotakill.apk from EDIT /system/app (i think thats where i removed it from) completely remove it or is that just the install app and the program is installed permanently and i cant remove it.
I ask because there is another potential update coming soon that seems to have a better modem package. I try to stay as basic stock as possible.
But this is my first time to want to remove a program like that. Its not showing up like other installed apps (duh because its a system app) so does removing the apk from that location remove it or is it still installed?
I don't know really. I haven't used the apk. but you can nAndroid backup and try it. couldn't hurt.

Can you share the apk or is it Market thing? I will test it. Also check in data/data to see if there's a folder there. If not, it should be gone

Remember all you will be doing is flashing the updates so removing this does nothing for you in that sense. If you have rooted your phone I am sure you will get the rooted versions and DO NOT DOWNLOAD OTA... You rooted for a reason
So I just picked up a nook simple touch and am eager to root it, I've done plenty with Android on phones, never an ebook though. I've been reading the material here and had a couple questions.
1.) It looks like 1.1 firmware is needed for most of the roots here, however B&N only lists 1.2 currently. Does anyone have a mirror to 1.1 or tell me how to get that, currently I'm on 1.0.1
2.) If I can't get 1.1 are there any roots that will work for 1.2? I've been following the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748 and it looks like it only works from 1.1 by the sound of it.
3.) Is everyone or anyone using the NoRefreshToggle? If so what do you think? Is it worth trying it out? Dangers of using it? When you toggle it off do you get greyscale back? From the sounds of the post, it's pure black and white with it on which is fine if when I disable it, it goes back to normal greyscale images.
4.) Did anyone find out how to turn off page animations in the kindle app? not a big deal, just wondering.
Thanks a lot, look forward to trying this out.
Here's a copy of nook_1_1_update.zip I pulled down from B&N a few weeks ago: http://www.mediafire.com/?h5kn1214gfjhkcg In the end I didn't need it, so I can't confirm how the upgrade works (the instructions said just put the file within the zip on an SD card and reboot)

Thanks for the link
Thanks for the 1.1 post link, however I updated to 1.1.2 and followed the instructions and everything seems to be ok, I can get email, install from the market place, only thing I can't do is search the market. A search just lists a blank page and doesn't find any apps, any ideas.
As for the Kindle question, after installing kindle app and seeing the performance, this isn't a big deal at all.
Still curious on the refresh toggle however, any ideas on that, have you guys tried it out? I may post there if I don't hear back.
Thanks

I have checked and as you said market search functionality is absent, it seems to be broken since the Googleplay thing.
As a way to regain it, in the mean time we get an updated market working, install Searchmarket.
The NorefreshToggle is still in early stages, but works quite well for webpages, etc.
Try it, there are no risks on it, on any program when you enable the app it will work, and when you go into a menu it will return to normal grayscale.

How do I install Searchmarket if I can't search the market for it lol ... Do I have to install it on my phone first, then transfer the apk over to the NST, then file browse and install it from /system/app ?
I tried NoRefreshToggle, it's interesting, like you said a work in progress ... Tried it with GReader unfortunatly it shuts off between Feed view and Article view which is a pain, but I think that's probably to avoid ghosting.
As for web page viewing, Opera Mini FCs on me everytime I open it, as does the stock browser, so I haven't been able to try browsing as of yet Still looking for a solution to that one.
Thanks for all the info, really enjoying the NST if NoRefreshToggle keeps getting better this could really be a killer device

I just use the Google Play website to initiate installs to the nook (it appears in my device list as "phone")
The included Opera Mini installation never worked for me (no FC nothing). In the end I fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

Didn't even know you could send apps like that to your devices, never had a need to try it before. Worked like a charm ... Opera is working now as well, thanks for the tips Really enjoying Android on the NST
So are you saying you are on 1.1.2 rooted and enjoying it?
Should I downgrade to 1.1.1 and root or just go ahead with 1.1.2?
I can't wait to try this out.

I can't speak to the upgrade patch from 1.1.1, I bought my NST yesterday, it had 1.0.1 on it, I upgraded to 1.1.2 then followed the rooting instructions for 1.1.0 or was it 1.1.1 can't remember, in any case, after rooting everything seems to be working just fine

It was 1.1.0, there was no 1.1.1
Is there any risk upgrading to 1.1.2 from 1.1.0? Would I have to reinstall google apps &c? Did anything change in between 1.1.0 and 1.1.2? (I have heard that they may have fixed the WiFi issues that were plaguing me a few months ago.)
Hi everyone, So a year or so ago I installed a bunch of stuff on my phone and I don't really remember what they were... i'm terrible with phones and I really didn't understand why I installed all these things into my phone either.
I was hoping to get some expert help to help me figure out what it was that I installed and maybe reset my phone and redo all those things again and maybe a link to a guide on how to be updated on these installs.
I think I installed some kinda custom kernal? I do know I have a few things installed cause I was just following some guide a long time ago like clockworkmod, superuser, lucky patcher, SuperSU, Titanium Backup.
I have no idea what any of these programs do if they're useless please let me know.
Also if anyone can suggest something where I can back up my apps (I have a few games I would not like to lose the cache files to, hate to restart). My text messages, contacts .etc (currently using google to do my contacts but if there's a better way lmk).

I see these posts a lot and I really really want to stress that the search tool, and search engines and general really will help you.
Backing up your games is as simple as using Titanium backup (Probably the first thing you'd find on google)
Resetting your phone, flashing back to stock to start over and everything, there's hundreds of guides on it.
Please use your resources.
Everyone starts somewhere, I never knew anything about phones once. It is so simple to start working on them or fix them. A lot easier than a PC. Anyone could do it. It only took me a couple of days to get a decent understanding of all of this. I started with searching.
