[Q] Market not working: "Download failed", tried everything. - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

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.

Market not downloading

Hey guys long time lurked, so here is my issue.
I was changing Rom, I had bamf remix 1.4, and I wanted to try another Rom. So backed up my current Rom through cwm, downloaded tesla coil 1.5 so I did wipe and installed tesla. Everything seemed fine, now this Rom does auto recover through Google, and I saw all my apps start to download after I put my account info, so I let it do its thing and it managed to get some apps installed. Then the rest of them just got stuck at "starting download", I've seen it do that before so I usually just cancel the download an try them later 1 by 1. So when I tried to load Rom manager it would go again to starting download but, then would get a notification saying, "Download Error, Download unsuccessful, please try again".
So that's what's going on, I restored my previous back up and it is still doing the same thing. I've wiped and cleared cache . Tried virus Rom and its the same thing . The only way I can get apps through the market is if I push it through a pc on a web browser.
I have searched already, and tried clearing data on market and download manager.

My phone is currently experiencing the same issue, only with all apps. I can download apps perfectly from the browser based market though. I've searched for a good six hours and I've tried everything that has been commonly suggested and nothing's worked.
Menu>settings>applications>manage applicctions > all tab > look For market> clear defaults, clear cache etc. Clear everything. Then try to download again in the marrket.
Well I think there was a fluke with Google or something, I wiped and flashed again and now its working again. When I was still investigating the problem, I used log cat to see what was going on, and the error was an apiexception and it had http 503 error, which I believe means the link is forbidden. This all happened when I flashed tesla Rom and it was auto restoring all my apps at the same time, and I think Google blocked my account or something because of too many download requests. Looks like the block was only for 24 hours. Sorry for rambling
But market is working again

[Q] Market reinstall fails

For some reason the Market did not download apps and updates anymore. All downloads simply failed ending up in paused downloads. I figured maybe a Market downgrade would fix this so I uninstalled the Market with Titanium Backup. After that I put Vending.apk (version 2.3.4) in /system/apps but for some reason the Market does not start. It doesn't show up in the app drawer either and simply clicking on vending.apk does nothing. Am I maybe missing a step here??
Maybe try with the one linked in the 2nd post on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896312
That is what I used since my chinese stock rom did not include a real Market.
Just put the zip on the root directory of your SD card and install it from the regular recovery (power ON + volume down).
Hope it works for you.
Both the stock recovery and clockworkmod report an error in the zip file. It's in the root of the sd card. It opens fine on the pc.
*edit*
It seems that this update.zip is specifically made for the ME525.
Out of despair I decided to flash another rom (Pays 5.1). But to my surprise the problem remains! This is horrible because now I can't reinstall most of my apps. Simple things like clearing the market cache has no effect. Why doesn't the Market work as it should?
*edit*
Also tried to download apps over the mobile network but same result. Seems the ISP isn't the problem.
Have you done all the wipe setp?
Check if Data Saver is enabled.
Well after having changed nothing at all the downloads started working normally again. After doing some more online research I noticed more people had similar problems, probably due to problems with google's servers. At least it wasn't my phone although it made me flash a new Rom resulting in a now undowngradable and warranty void phone. Oh well at least it works again. Nevertheless thanks for all the suggestions!

[Q] Can't download from app market - and no backup!?!

Hi all...I hope someone can help with my problem.
Background: After my stock phone 'crashed' last week I have spent a few days on the forum's and have learnt how to fix it.... First I created a goldcard and recovered the device using a stock WWE ROM (updated device using the PB.zip method). This all seemed fine, so then decided to use enrevoked3 to root....this went fine and I ended up with rooted version of a stock WWE ROM (I think?). It wasn’t until I decided to install a custom ROM (starting with a backup) that I found I couldn’t download anything from the app market!
I thought it was unrevoked that had caused the problem so re-flashed the WWE ROM, but found I still had the same issue (an no longer a rooted device ).
After researching on the forums it looks like I’m missing the gtalk.apk which is used by the app store (does this mean the WWE ROM I have is not up to date or complete?) However, this isnt so much of a problem if you reinstall the gtalkservices.apk, but after trying 3 different apk files from 3 different threads on this subject I still am unable to download anything from the app store (the apk's wont install and just come up with an error - 'application wont install' - also I tried this on the phone when it was rooted and after I reflashed back to the WWE ROM)
Can anyone suggest how I fix this?? I dont have a stock ROM that I can flash back to and I didnt have a backup of my original ROM as I hadn't expected to need it (as before last week my phone was 02 stock).
As a thought I wonder if I re-root with unrevoked and then installed a custom ROM (not the WWE ROM I currently have, something like Cyanogen or Miui) that maybe this would solve the problem assuming the custom ROM I installed included all the relevant gtalk apk’s etc??
I have tried to find the solution without posting another thread, but none of the other threads I have read seem to cover the same issue (most of the solutions are either re-flash your previos ROM, which I cant do, or install the apk, which doesnt seem to work..)
any and all help much appreciated
apart from step 5...this seems to have worked...hope it helps someone else one day ;-)
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and clear data
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Install an app from market.android.com.

[Q] Rooted , Deleted Market , Want to Install again...

Hello everybody. So, i rooted my X10 Mini (Android 2.1) and i deleted Market. I am trying to install it back BUT it cannot be installed. I get a message that the package could not be analyzed properly. I guess it is because the version of the market i am trying to install is not compatible but i cannot find a compatible version. I've searched the world. Any ideas?
Well i am not so sure if this will help you but you could try a factory reset, it might install your maket again since it goes factory state...it will wipe your data though.
BTW: i wont be responsible if anything happens during the wipe, you should backup your stuff first.
I did a factory reset
I did a factory reset but it didn't install it again. However some uninstalled apps returned, like SlideMe and 2 games...
try this http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-and-games-pin-number-for-purchases-and-more/
Get it from 4shared.com just search market place. I did it yesterday cause I needed a older version.
Nothing worked till now guys...
I tried every market on 4share and still...nothing.
Any suggestions? Should i reinstall android? Is this possible?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Xperia_X10_Mini_Default_Applications
Visit this page and download the archive at the bottom. Extract the "vending.apk" and try to install it.
This should be the one, that came with your phone originally.
If that doesn't work, you might have to reflash Android - at which point it might be a good time to maybe give CyanogenMod a try? ;-)
But try installing that apk first.
If nothing of those tips help you can do it the hard way. Download the gapps zip file for your device and push it onto the sdcard. Boot into the bootloader, enter the recovery partition and update the zip file. After that the google apps should be reinstalled.

Some problems with CyanogenMod 9 Milestone XT720 RC fjfalcon

First a BIG THANK YOU, FJ for the great job.
I have some problems with a build from 16.07.2012
First i can not move app to SD. I can move only 5-6 apps, and no more, so after i installed 10 apps my storage was going to full. /Sorry about my bad english/
I have tried to install Link2SD, but it says Link2sd is updating and did not have icon of it. I lost my PlayStore and have to reinstall the build. After that it was the same problem with a Link2SD and moving apps. My second partition is FAT 32, because the previous build and Link2SD did not work with ext partitions. I see that the second partition after moving 2-3 apps is empty.
When i click on Manage Apps it is closing and nothing happen. After 4-5 times of clicking it is opening.
The Cam is working well, Camcorder too.
I have a problem with a virtual keyboard. It shows for a while and is hidding.
I have tried many ways but still can not flash it. I am an amateur. but I can not ask in the official topic. My posts are not enough.
Can you give me detailed instructions please?

You must have OpenRecovery installed.
Just download the build and gapps. Copy in the Updates folder of OpenRecovery. Go into Recovery mode
Apply Update, search for the file that u have copied.
After Update do 3 Wipes
after that install gapps
Did you find any solution for missing apps problem?
I tried this build couple of times. Its pretty great. Sync with Google-account didnt work but biggest problem was that app thingie.
Everytime i rebooted the phone,(or it rebooted itself) after the CM9 booloader logo a box appears saying: "Updating Android. Optimizing apps xx/80".
When the phone finally starts, ALL my installed apps have vanished. Every time. And the are installed in the phone, not on sd.
Is this a common problem?

The build is great. Google account sync works by me, but the problem with apps still persist. I have tried a couple of gapps but is the same.
I'm waiting for the new builds or for JB )

Yes it is! Beautiful and fast.. Well, loading of the main screen took 4-5seconds when sim-card was in the phone.
Except that, build was faster than Froyo I used. Hope it gets fixed soon.
Is the smoothness of this rom,the same as froyo??..i mean is it stable enough??..
