Hey everyone I need some help
I just upgraded my Milestone to 2.2 using dexter's awesome method and it's running amazingly, the problem is I don't seem to have access to all the apps in the market anymore and I just got a car alarm installed that I can control from my phone and I can't seem to download it anymore from the market...
Now I tried using Market Enabler and it still wasn't there so I started to dig deeper and found that I had a Nandroid backup of it on my SD card, but instead of being a normal .APK it's a .ZIP file.
So I need everyone's help in figuring out how can we change this .ZIP into a workable .APK? I tried just changing the extension and it essentially looks like it will install the app but then says Installation Failed... What am I missing guys? There's got to be some way to get the app back!
Its the Viper SmartStart alarm app so if anyone can help me out please!!

I need some info if someone has the time to help me. I am using Titanium Backup and it reports since I installed a new rom that the following files are no longer installed on my Droid and for some reason they are not backed up even though I backup regularly. Talkback.apk, Kickback.apk, Soundback.apk, System Updater 2.1 update 1.apk, and Alarm Clock 2.1 update 1.apk. It also showed that Sound Recorder was not installed but I was able to find, download and install that file just fine. I just need to find the others so I can download them. Can anyone point me to them or send them to me? Don't worry about the Titanium issue I just threw that in to let you know what was going on. Can someone please help me get t files. I have found no help anywhere else.
I know that there are tons of threads about this but none of them have helped. My market just will not work. It shows it downloading, then displays the message "Download failed" for a split second and disappears.
I have an HTC Desire (BravoC/CDMA) with the latest version of CyanogenMod 7 Nightly and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 for recovery. I also have Firerat's Custom MTD Partition. Details and links to all these can be found in my signature.
I feel like I've tried everything. Uninstall updates, Installed latest GApps, Installed old versions of GApps, Installed leaked versions of Gapps, cleared cache, formatted device.
This has been happening since the new market website was released. It really sucks, I can't update any apps or download any new apps.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Try removing SD card then try again. I had the same problem with my galaxy s I removed SD card backup on PC then I formatted it put it back in and market works perfect, don't ask me why but this worked for me

a little weird thing i noticed is,if i have checked the box that allows applications to be download to the external(Apps2sd) whatever i try to download, will be resulted with Unsuccessful. When i unchecked it, my downloads were successful.
See if you have it checked.
I discovered that it was a problem with the CSC file. I had exactly the same issue with a 'mixed up' firmware. Download would not work at all from the market. Anyhow, I flashed the phone (galaxy s) with a different CSC file and the market started downloading.
the only thing I had changed was that file.
So u may want to consider that Hope this helps.
I think there is also a possibility of going to applications --> market, and then stop & clear data.
same situation here...
re-flash the rom and market won't download anything.
But it's strange that I can install apps from web market.
i know i'm at the wrong thread but could somebody help me pls with sgs gingerbread im stuck at on command where it is saying that busybox is not a valid command and thats its not recognized
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, after some time I have discovered what was causing the market issue. It was the Firerat Custom MTD Partition Mod the whole time. Apparently the new version of the market deals with downloads a little differently now and doesn't get along with Firerat's mod.
So now the waiting game begins for a new update from Firerat.
Hi,
NOt a solution, but I found a workaround for this issue on my phone.
I am using Hyperdroid GBX V8 on my HTC HD2 now. From last 2 days I was struggling with this problem. I tried all solutions I found with google. Clearning everything and Reflashing, clearing the market and caches for other apps, reflashing, unmount/mount SDCARD and so on, smaller bigger recovery partition, without EXT3/4 partition.
Still the problem exist on the phone. But I found a workaround. Logon to market.android.com using your google id and password, select the app you want to install and click install. if your phone is up and live, it will be installed in a few seconds.
In other words, pull doesnt work, but push works .
Thanks.

Ok guys so heres the deal, I want to flash some of the new updated ROMS but I dont know how to back up netflix with out having to reinstall from the Market. I just checked and netflix is no longer available there. So i need to figure a way to create an apk of the existing app on my phone so that I can reinstall after flashing. Any suggestions? BTW does any one know why it was pulled?
Anyone using Visidon Applock- face recongnition locking app on their charge. I had a Nexus S 4g and it worked great, but because of signal issues, I went back to Verizon. Went with the Charge. I have rooted the charge and am running gingerbread, but the apps market will not let me download this program. I think current version is 1.5 and should work just fine on my Charge...if I can get the download. What you do is take a picture of your face. Then you can use it to unlock either the phone, or apps on the phone by showing the phone your face. Works great.
Anyone able to provide me with the apk ver 1.5? I found and downloaded ver 1.1 but it is missing a signature file.
Thanks
There is a market fix in one of the sections here, after you install and run it, it will show up in the market. I have the file but am at work right now and can't seem to find the thread for it. When I get home I will upload the file for you if you havn't found the market fix. I have already installed fix on my phone and looked in the market for this file and it is there and works with this phone.

I will look for the market fix...not sure what I am looking for...but I will search. Thanks for the reply. And yes, the market fix would be the best solution...as it will allow me to download other GB apps.
Thanks Again,
I think I found it. Is it called build.prop.
You have to edit the file to make it look like a Nexus S....which makes sense to me...because that is what I had before and it worked.

no, the file I am talking about does it all automatically, you have to install this app, run the fix from in the app, restart from w/in the app, then when it powers on you can erase the app if you want to. This will enable all apps in the marketplace.

Thanks...but too late....LOL....
I found the file build.prop which I would guess is the manual way to adjust what your fix does. I went into root explorer and renamed the original file to old...then like a dumb ass...turned off the phone before I had pushed the new file to the system folder. Anyway...I just re-flashed GBE....no big deal. and will take a look at your "fix" now.
Thanks Again.
lesson...don't drink and work on your charge...it's a bad combination.
Thanks for this post I have heard about thia app and never.put much into it, I stumbled upon this and bam! Up and running, thanks allall

This is what I found and what I ended up doing. Download the file and then replace build.prop in /system folder.
I did install your fix.apk...got an error on download via qr....but got the file and used adb to install. Not sure which one worked....
...edit....
just un- installed your fix.apk. then tried to install visidon again....all worked well. So I am pretty sure this manual mod is the same. Yours is much easier.

No problem, happy to help. I would give credit to the person who created the app, but I can't find the thread anymore.

This app is awesome, best thing to keep my roommates off my facebook status, can wait till google+ takes off
I have a Motorola Photon, and I had tried to get the old Market backet back with a process I found in the forum. It didn't work, and somewhere along the line I lost the Market all together. I tried wiping the phone back to factory and the Market app did not come back. I tried to just install a version from 4Shared, but still doesn't work with any version I install. It says that "com.android.vending has quit unexpectedly" and then it FC's. It only seems to do this when I go to download an app. I can browse and search fine with no problems, just no downloading!! I admit I'm a noob, and probably messed with something I shouldn't, but I figured this would be a nondestructive thing to learn on. Man was I wrong!! This sucks...please help me!!
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Yes...I was rooted but no custom rom. I don't know how to do that yet. This is going to sound stupid, but what exactly is a custom rom? After I wiped to factory condition I tried to install a vending.apk from 4shared and that still gives me same error. I will uninstall again and try a market.apk now. Is that the same as vending.apk?
A factory reset will only delete user data, it won't put back something that has been removed. You need to get the vending apk for the version you want and instead of installing it normally put it in /system/app. You can do so using Root Explorer or another root level file explorer. If you don't have one installed, I can post the apk of a free one for you. Mount system as r/w and copy/paste the apk into /system/app, then set permissions to rw-r--r--, then reboot. You should have your market back up & running.

That's what I originally tried to do and didn't work, but I will try it again...If you could post an apk of the market you know is good that would be great. Can u post an apk of a root explorer also? I havent checked 4shared yet. Is there another free download service other than 4shared? Thanks for your help!!
Just download Market and install it. If it FC then check the permissions.

(It's the new market btw. I know you don't want it, but you don't really have a choice at the moment)
Ok so this is weird!! I left the Market that wasn't working installed by mistake. I installed the OTA update that Motorola did, and then re-rooted my phone again. Now the Market is working for the most part!!! Only thing is...it FC's every time iot installs an app. It downloads and installs, but right after it installs it FC's!! It doesn't always close all the way...sometimes just goes to Market home screen. All the functionality seems to be working though, so I can deal with that.
Does anybody know why after the OTA update I can only get EDGE instead of 3G on a Rogers SIM card?
Did you clear Google Services Framework data and Market data?
