[Q] Android Market Error - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've just installed a new ROM onto my phone and I am unable to download ANYTHING from the Market! I've reflashed and everything. I figured it was a ROM related issue so I installed another ROM. It seems though the problem is my Google account itself. I created a new account and I can install everything just fine with this one. With my actual account though, I continously get the "<app name> could not be downloaded due to an error" message!
The ROMS I installed are Virtuous Rom: Unity and InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.
Like I said, the ROM doesn't seem to be the issue..my google account does! Any fixes please?
Thanks!

Well obviously its not the device..this site support device related issues, not issues with a certain email or google account. If the new on worked but your old one doesn't you need to check your account settings from google.com

Similar thing happened to me.
I tried out Virtuous Sense & G-Lite (can't get Unity to work). During the process I noticed under my default account, I couldn't download/update from the market.
I went back to stock 2.3.4 (rooted) and still had the same problem.
I'm now back to Cyanogen nightly builds and the problem still occurs.
Thank goodness for the new market since it lets us switch accounts. And I'm extremely thankful for Titanium Backup.
It's still a pain in the arse though, since I *can* get my device up & running initially by rigging it through my 'other' account, however I can't do market downloads/updates w/my default account.

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.
Sent from my PC36100.
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] "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?

[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.

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .
Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.
OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.
Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

[Q] Runny 5.0 Market Issue

Hey all,
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.

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.
