MARKET - install failed

HELP! I am running the latest SPRINT LOVERS ROM and have been having an issue with downloading NEW apps from the market and also installing updates to APPS. I could not get ANYTHING to install or download using the LATEST MARKET so I flash the OLD market to my phone. for the past week or so, I have been able to download SOME new apps and update SOME APPS. However, some apps, I had to uninstall and THEN reinstall or else I would get a INSTALL FAILED message. Now as of today, I cant download ANY new APPS as it downloads and then TRIES to install and I get a DOWNLOAD FAILED. In CATLOG I see "DEXOPT FAILED" and it references the downloaded file I was just downloading.
How do I fix this so that I can download again. I see in the android market forum that LOTS of people are having this issue but there is no resolution. I though it might be the memory card but I tried a different one and SAME issue. I also cleared the cache and DALVIK cache and same issue (the dexopt failed mentions the DALVIK CACHE). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Well, you can try reflashing the rom, going into apps clearing the market cache, reboot, or flash the newest gapps.

I have tried all of that.. SAME issue.. I'm not the only one with this issue.. I did a google search and a LOT of people have this issue.. all over different forums and the android market forum too!
GOOGLE must know about this and why arent they saying anything? there was a forum message that even had a google employee who commented and said they were working on the issue but no response again...

Go into recovery and wipe ur cache. The market stores apps there when downloading before it installs to the correct file on ur phone

The problem isn't the market, well the upgrading/installing new apps part isn't. There is a temp file that is on your sd card which is for the market, if that file gets corrupted or flagged with low on space, it'll prevent updates/new installs from happening. To fix this you need to delete that file, you can only see this file via plugged into a computer as a storage device then go to .android_secure and in there will be a random named file with .tmp at the end. Just delete that, unmount and restart the phone, after that it's back to installing again.

I dont have that TMP file in the folder mentioned. I know whichj on you are referring to and a while back I had this file which prevented me from installing files.. But I dont have it now.. any other ideas??
Note: the file is called smdl2tmp1.asec and I dont have it ...
Now something else strange... I SHOULD be able to download and install APPS with the card unmounted.. I cant EVEN download an APP if the card is mounted on the PC or unmounted from the phone settings.. any ideas

Also I notice that some times the phone will reboot while doing an install from market. I googled and saw others with this issue.

OK well I found something on another forum that mentioned re-flashing the ROM overtop fixed the market errors.. Well, it put the NEW market back and I cant download or INSTALL anything. I now am flashing the old market back.. any ideas? the new market wont even start a download as it ERRORS right away with DOWNLOAD failed...

[Q] Cannot install certain apps no matter how.

Yesterday I found that certain apps on my phone crash right after I launched them, including Kindle, Apparatus and some other apps.
I uninstalled them to see if re-installing could solve this, however it turned into the situation that I cannot install these apps any more no matter how
I tried re-installing them by Android Market, it just say the package file is not valid.
I tried launching the APK from file manager, it ends up with "app is not installed".
I tried using Titanium Backup to restore my previous backups, Titanium Backup just gets stuck with these apps.
I tried copying the APK file into /data/app, but after a reboot those APKs in /data/app simply disappear.
I tried using adb install command as well, the result is "INSTALL_FAILED_DEXOPT“
I have wiped my phone for many times, I even tried reflash Rom and Baseband. For once it worked after a Rom flashing, but after a reboot it bacome faulty again

[Q] People App deleted accidentally how to re-install it???

My Phone HTC Wildfire S A510e
Android version 2.3.5
HTC Sense 2.1
Software number 2.26.707.2
I have rooted my phone, bootloader is unlocked. I accidentally deleted my people app via link2sd. Now whenever I try to add a contact, it gives an error....
"android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please tell............"
I tried another custome ROM "Wildchild", on that ROM there was no problem adding people, and it was working fine. But I had to switch back to original, so I did. Now I am stuck again. I tried to install the app by HTC sync but there also it gives an error Not enuf space or something.

Have someone using the same rom send you people.apk or whatever it's called, push or manually copy the apk in system/app, fix permissions, reboot.

If you did a backup your stock rom after rooting, Simply restore with cwm recovery.
If not, flash a stock ruu with same radio version & software number.

If you have made a backup with CWM then just restore it and do a factory reset.
I don't think there isn't a way to recover it but if you can just tell me what app it is I can send it to you.

Dude, the easiest, simplest solution is to just grab the contacts apk and push it to system. I don't see why you want him to do a full restore :what:

I tried to push
I tried to push contactsprovider.apk to system, with <es file explorer> it gives error, not copying or installing it.
ANd with other <system apps installer> it shows that it installed it but, after doing with this my phone is giving more errors. , Now I cannot make even a call or see SIM contacts which I was able to do b4.
And about cwm backup,,,,,, ,,,,,,,,,, I did take the backup after rooting it and uninstalling the people app.

You have to mount system as r/w before copying. Don't forget to check permissions.
Also, be sure it's the right apk.

Workeddddd

Titanium Backup Stuck Restoring Any App

Couldn't find much on this issue...
Just installed the ROM in my sig. I was trying to restore an app for testing without data. I copied the Titanium Backup folder from my SGSII. YouTube wouldn't restore so I tried another single app and Titanium Backup gets stuck on Restoring App. I tried with and without data and it fails for any app I try. Rebooted, no go. Unknown Sources is checked. I have never seen this across all my android devices. ANY IDEAS MAY VERY WELL PREVENT ME FROM THROWING SOMETHING. Thanks and that it's all.
EDIT:
So after some troubleshooting I tried setting the App Processing Mode to "AUTO, Indirect." This didn't work. If I use "INTERACTIVE," it works. I just have to restore them one-by-one.

I seem to have the same problem but cannot find the "App Processing Mode" in the preferences. Where exactly is it? I use the free version.

I just ran into this, trying to restore my backup of the Chrome system app. It got stuck forever. You have to go MENU -> Preferences, scroll all the way down to find "Troubleshooting Settings" -> App Processing Mode -> and then pick "AUTO, Indirect" or "INTERACTIVE".
For me "AUTO, Indirect" is what worked.

Backup/Restore Apps using Titanium
Most custom ROMs will require you to do a wipe data/factory reset, which will erase all of your settings and apps. By using apps like Titanium backup app, you can easily backup and restore your apps. Even better, if you get a new Android phone, you can use this app to transfer all of your current apps with data to your new phone.

Seems to be solvable by updating SU binaries, using the SuperSU app.
Install SuperSu, Run it, it'll ask you to update binaries, accept, restart, then if root is broken go to SuperSu, go to Settings, and choose "Switch Superuser App", restart again - and boom, it should all work fine.

Titanium Backup
When restoring batch files on the titanium back up observe in what part the restoration stop more or less that app have an issue on the files being restored.
Also you should ensure that you still have available internal memory while doing the restore since app restoration on titanium backup directly go to the internal memory.

USB debugging
Try enabling USB debugging. Worked for me.

I have the same thing happening to me. The popup window just says "Restoring App" and the chaser keeps circling. I have the Pro key for TB installed. I have Super installed. I have changed the preferences as suggested in this thread. I think it's a whole lot easier to reflash the entire ROM and redo all your settings and preferences.

check super su setting
you would want to go to super su and then settings and then uncheck unmount separation box then restart then try and restore.... worked for me.

Should be second last from the bottom

Thanks for the tip mate, a few botched flashes and Kinguser installs later and that tip definitely made my day! Titanium Backup worked fine with Kinguser, but for some strange reason it didn't seem to budge with SuperSU. Turns out I had to unckeck that option.

thanks man, after spending a lifetime i tried your tip and worked for me :good::good:

Having trouble restoring both Boost Zone and Visual Voicemail backups. Both preinstalled system apps that I did full TB backups of for their latest versions. Tried all 3 restore options, the SuperSU settings, and also attempted to install a few .apk's I found, to no avail. (got "out of memory/space" error msg on both apk's) Sigh.... Really just need my VVM app back. Not perfect, but convenient.

I'm having problem with titanium bkp. I had backup all my apps with data on 5.1.1 and flashed 6.0.1 rom. Now titanium bkp doesn't detect my bkp.
Tried many things like
copy bkp files to internal,
just made an app bkp and copy my bkp files to that folder etc.
still my TB doesn't detect my old bkp

[Q] "Unfortunately, Mobile data has stopped" Error. How to fix it?

Hi all,
I have the mentioned error on Nexus 7 LTE version, Stock android(AOSP), rooted. The error pops up every 2 seconds. Here is what I have done so far:
- Clear Contacts
- Clear Contacts storage
- Clear Mobile Data
- Clear Google contacts Sync
- Disable Mobile data from the settings menu
- Rebooted the device several times
Because I was getting the error every 2 secs, it was a bit annoying to do all the above commands in 2 secs intervals. Anyway, non of them solve the issue and finally I rebooted the device with no SIM card and obviously the error is gone.
Could you please help me to fix the error while the SimCard is in the SIM slot? I need to have the Mobile data ability.
Best regards,
Shobeir

Update: I kept getting the error right after rebooting the device after some time (more than 3 days) and I installed a couple of apps in the meanwhile. But there wasn't any error until the device was rebooted.

Are you using any startup managers that might have disabled a module from starting automatically?
If you haven't, with you having done all the other things, I'd suggest your next step is to reflash the stock ROM (first wipe cache, system and userdata to be sure). Test things out without installing any apps.

I haven't use any startup manager. Recently I installed the Android device manager and Battery Doctor. I uninstalled them based on your suggestion as they may be associated with the mobile data. I am getting same error..
Do you have any idea why this error is being generated?

No idea. It's hard to say if Battery Doctor hibernated something and left things mucked up, even if you uninstalled it. At this point I'd look to making backups and reflashing your ROM. You'll save more time than investigating what might have happened.

Thank you for the reply.
Here is what I have done (It may help others):
1. Using Titanuim backup to backup my device and generated an update.zip so I was able to flash the update.zip from CWMR to restore the apps faster that ever
2. Using ADB to transfer ROM files to N7 in order to install it in sideload mode
3. Install the ROM (CM11)
4. Restore apps. It was awesome restoring!
But I wasn't able to install (flash) the image factory from Google. The file comes in ".tgz" format and inside the compressed file, there is ".zip" file, but the ".zip" will be aborted in the installation process!! I have downloaded the ".tgz" file twice to make sure it wasn't because of a broken download file.
Any idea how to install RAZORG KOT49H on Nesux 7 with CWMR?
Cheers,

Update: I have found this post useful and it is the solution I was looking for.

I gather you extracted twice, using something like 7-Zip or WinRAR? Inside there's image-razor-kot49h.zip, and another file flash-all.bat to flash it.
If you prefer, you could extract the zip into its individual .img files, then do things like "fastboot flash system system.img" to restore each one. It's much easier to use flash-all.bat, though.
