I have tried two market fixes here and one from youtube. Non have worked for me so far. Each time I wipe and start from scratch, I cannot find any of my purchased apps. I cannot search for even the most common apps! Can someone help?
Here is what I did after I purchased it..
1. Ran the root exploit. Gained root access on the device with the Viewsonic UI.
2. Downloaded Rom Manager and TnT Lite 2.2. I installed TnT Lite without installing clockworkmod though. Didn't run into any problems.
3. Noticed the Market problem and immediately searched and asked here and wound up doing the fix thats on top of this page.. Nothing, followed all instructions.
4. Did an older Market fix, tried a youtube market fix.
I am not getting desperate though as I just got it today and I'm having a blast with the flash 10 web browsing and wifi tethering on the go.
Thanks. Sorry if this doesn't belong here.

Seems like quite a few people have been having this issue, myself included. Just keep trying it should eventually work. Took me an hour or so to get it working last night on the Vegan alpha.
Only thing I can think of that I did differently the time it finally worked was immediately after seeing the error in the market power down, didnt click ok, just powered down immediately. Not sure if that had anything to do with it or if it was just coincidence but give it a shot.
Here is a youtube video on how to fix the market place. You will
also need to install titanium backup too.

I dont think his issue is with doing the fix, its that for some people the fix doesnt work on the first try and takes some repeated attempts to get it to work.

oh .. didn't know that was a issue .. it worked on the first try I did it ..
Looking forward to the next release of TnT lite ..
@necromonger89 I'm not certain we totally understand the effect of using ROM manager to flash TNT Lite over stock on the data in the user partition, or for that matter, switching from stock TNT to TNTLite without wiping data, or at least cache. I highly suggest installing clockwork mod, wiping everything, and flashing TNT Lite or other ROMs that way for now, because we are pretty certain the Market fix will work for you then.

I haven't yet been convinced that anybody has done these fixes correctly (with a normally flashed ROM and clean user data, at least - the original poster in this thread is in an unusual situation) and had them not work on any consistent basis. I sincerely doubt that some sort of fundamental hardware difference makes Market fix sometimes work, sometimes not.
With some ROMs, like ZPad, I have had to reboot 2-3 times before Market could repopulate it's cache (i.e. every time I started Market it would error again after doing the fix - this is the non-Titanium fix, i.e. clear Market cache, force stop market, clear Google Services Framework data, force stop GSF, start Market and let it error, then reboot). And I had to make absolutely certain wifi was connected after reboot and good signal strength before trying to start up Market, or it would error out again, I'd have to reboot and try again.
On the VEGAn ROM, on the other hand, the Market fix works the first time every try, although with alpha 1 it screws up the Camera (fixable by reflash of ZIP).
Most of the people complaining that it doesn't work seem to end up realizing they did something wrong, i.e. they cleared data on Market instead of clearing cache, or failed to force stop one of the apps.
I've done this literally dozens of times now, while I was experimenting with my improved market fix.

Check my post over in the Vegan thread. I wiped data and cache on the device(three differnet times) on the applications countless times and it took me over an hour to get the market working. I must have rebooted and retried 50 times before it eventually worked. Not sure why some people have the issue and some dont.
All I can say that the methods that I've used twice and which worked were the Titanium based Google Services 2.2 wipe and manually using access from the TnT settings, both done under TnTL 2.0.2 & 2.1.1. (Didn't wipe for TnTL 2.2.0 and market is still working...)
Titanium way:
1. Ran market, tried dl (IIRC) been a couple weeks since I did these
2. Titanium to wipe Google Services 2.2
3. Ran market no error
4. Settings -> force close market
5. Used TnT setting -> apps force closed market
6. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe
7. Ran market no error
8. sames as (4)
9. Redid Titanium Google Services wipe (probably not necessary)
10. Settings -> force close Google Services
11. Run market error
12. reboot
13. market works, but w/usual missing apps, but most there
The key for me I believe was using settings (or any other app that can force close/kill) to FC market, run Titanium and THEN again using some way to FC that which was never mentioned in any of the tutorials at the time that I saw and I figured it out by going way back to the phone(or whatever it was -- it's slightly different as I have TnT setting and 2.2 v. 2.1 in that original hack IIRC) market hack that this was based off of. So this should work:
1. Run market
2. download IIRC -> fail
3. FC market some how
4. wipe Google Services cache some how
5. FC Google Services
6. Run market -> error
7. reboot
(Above steps may not be 100% accurate, i.e. may have missed a step as I haven't done this in weeks now and only did it twice. My other two devices I used ENTIRELY different methods to enable market.)
I did this essentially the first time using Titanium, but that's not necessary as it may also be accomplished by simply using settings to do the FC and cache clearing. The key problem for me appeared to be that Google Services had to be FCed before this works and the version of Titanium(free and whatever it was at that time) wasn't FCing Google Services & also needed to FC market as well IIRC.
I did it using the Settings app the second time as I didn't have access to Titanium when I installed TnTL 2.1.1 which I did directly on the tablet.
(I'll have to keep better track of exactly what is needed next time I do a fw update that requires a full wipage.)

Finally, I don't understand though. I tried this exact method yesterday and nothing happened. Well thanks everyone, I am finally able to get my paid apps from the Market.
running tnt lite 4.0 as of yesterday with market fix. all was working normally this morning. downloaded and installed quite a few apps and live wall papers. this afternoon most of the apps are missing and i can only get 1 live wallpaper. all the other stuff is missing. even the stuff i have already downloaded is missing. performed market fix over and over still same thing. the market seems to be working fine just most of it is gone. anybody got any ideas? am i looking at a complete rom reinstall?
It's happened to me a couple of times...
If you have Titanium Backup installed, just load it up and let it populate the app list...
After that, the Market seems to recognize everything that is installed right away...
It does eventually seem to come back on it's own -- but TB is the only way I've found of "forcing" it to happen sooner...
nope that didn't help. still missing most of the apps. the weird thing is that they were all there this morning and i haven't done anything that would have borked the market.
something else too. the market makes me "accept the terms" the 1st time i load it after a reboot. rebooted 3 time in a row and its the same every time.
Have you tried doing the Market fix again? I've had to do it several times. Even after it's done there are a few apps hat never show up, but most do.
You're talking about apps you've already downloaded from the market so I would definitely try the market fix again and see if that works.

That usually happens when you "Clear Data" on the Market app -- but you say you haven't done that? If so, sounds like the flag isn't being set/stored when you click accept -- so perhaps permissions are borked?
Maybe try rebooting into recovery and doing a "Fix Permissions" and "Wipe Dalvik Cache", then go back into normal boot, accept the terms again and see what happens...
yep done that too. at least a dozen times. and i know i am doing it correctly because it worked the first time a week ago when i rooted and intalled tnt lite the first time and again on saturday when i installed tnt lite 4.0. the market fix worked both times with no issues. now almost all the apps are missing. there are no free live wall papers listed and only 1 pay live wall paper listed. that and only 1 app shows up in the featured list when i launch the market.
i am really trying to avoid a complete reinstall of tnt if i can help it but i guess if i have to then i have to.

yea done that as well. same thing. its very strange. i have been at this for hours yesterday combing through the forums looking for an answer with no luck. i found all of the suggestions mentioned above and tried them with no success.
Ahhh...TnT 4 introduced the problem. I just read in another thread that v4 includes the Data2Loop hack and lots of people are now reporting this very issue...
Will update with the link to the thread which includes remedies...
Update: Link to thread detailing issue -- may want to just jump to the end and work backwards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004
hmm.... well there it is. thanks man. will revert back i guess. 4.0 sure was fast though.
This happened on my "stock" Zpad. I woke up one morning and it was like it was partially defaulted. I had to accept the terms again and some apps were like they were only newly installed (eg asking for default actions). It was like some database go corrupted overnight (by itself).
That was all about a week or two ago and I haven't had the same problem since.
I began to have market "re do" issues several days ago (On tnt 3.1.2) and have had to fix it several times a day. I think Google has something to do with it. I turned off all Google Sync to Gmail and since last night, market is sticking again.
I have been using it without any problems and suddenly all the apps are gone from the market download and for others the icon is not working anymore.
I use the website Market now. I notice more apps on the website than in the market application. If I download an app from the website it puts it in the "downloaded" part of the market app anyway, so all the updates happen normally. This works for me and I don't have to worry about re-doing the market fix.
Cheers, Mal.
Ok, I tried to avoid bothering people to solve this but I am just genuinely lost.
The other day I finally took the plunge and rooted my Nexus S and everything worked perfectly. So I decided to install CM7 7.0.3 Stable so I did a Nandroid backup of my current rom, then flashed CM7. Again, everything looked fine. So I proceeded to flash the google apps. As soon as I did that and logged into my google account, the market started going nuts trying to download all of my apps. The count in the notification bar was actually higher by a substantial margin than the apps that it was actually installing. After this happened, the first few downloads worked then the rest of them started to fail. So, at this point, I had a successfully installed rom and all of the google apps worked perfectly, except I couldn't download anything through the market.
At this point, I thought it would be best to go back to my restore point through Nandroid. Once I reverted back to my stock 2.3.4, the problem was still there. I wasn't able to download anything from the market. So, in my frustration, I went out drinking with my buddies and ended up crashing on a couch. In the morning, I woke up, my phones battery toast so I got into my truck, plugged it in, booted up and voila, market works again.
This led me to believe it was a server side issue. So today, I reinstalled the CM7 and google apps and tried again. Same issue. Now I am wondering, do I leave CM7 on for 24 hours to see if it fixes itself again or do I try to find another copy of the google apps. The ones I have are the ones I dl'd through rom manager.
Before anyone asks, I have tried all the usual suspects:
-Cleared the market data / Cache
-Cleared the Cache in Clockwork
-Cleared the Dalvik Cache in Clockwork
-Tried reflashing the google apps
No dice.
Anyone else have this issue or have any ideas for me?
Just set up my Transformer and have gone into the market, when i click on install for any app, and ok the permissions, it does nothing, just sits on the info screen for the app i was looking at. My data connection is fine.
any ideas?
I have tried clearing the cache and data from the market app in manage apps.
Not sure what was going on, It has now started downloading ok.
delete the tread if you like.
sorry.
Actually, got my new Transformer today...it proceeds to download but then errors out...rebooted...same thing...can't download or update any apps.
same here
Had mine just over a day, can't install anything from market. Google says to log onto Google talk, but THAT does not work either ... just times out.
But can surf the web just fine, and navigate around Market just fine.
So now what?
thanks, Ian
Have you tried clearing data and cache for the market?

Yes, cleared the data, there was nothing in the cache. Seems to be a common problem, and various different solutions work for some people but not others (on assorted devices). I have mailed Google but so far no response .... have no problems downloading stuff to my Galaxy S2 over same WiFi network ...
bump
Got the same issue since I got a failed firmware update. A fix would be great
this happened to me too, downloading from android market is a hit-and-miss thing... sometimes it downloads on the first try, sometimes i have to retry it a couple of times before it finally download, and somerimes it wont ever download at all (sometimes it leaves the downloading notification stuck)
I have also seen this behaviour - apps would download, then nothing. Clicking on 'INSTALL' again on the Market store entry would usually then do a successful download and install.
Solution?
Can you guys try this, which seems to work for me (as in: after installing Custom ROMs, is what worked ...)
1. set you phone into WiFi Tethering Mode.
2. connect Transformer to use WiFi via the phone
3. log onto market and initiate download.
4. should work fine. Then disconnect from phone, use normal WiFi connection, and it should work.
I've had long discussions with Google about this. They told me to open a bunch of ports on my router, which seemed to help, but is not THE permanent solution. I think Google, for some reason, needs a fix on your position before they validate you initially, which is what they get when you connect via a cellphone.
The ports in question are:
outgoing TCP and UDP connections to 443 + 5222-5443 port range.
Note: there is often a delay when ordering something from Market via website, and getting it sent to device. This is normal. Downloading via Market App should be faster.
Good luck.
Cheers, Ian
I have the same problem...I've tried every possible "fix" and nothing really works...I'm running stock not even rooted, I've had this problem ever since I got the 3.1 ota. Hoping for a fix in 3.2
I've noticed this too. I select an app to download, then I can see the progress bar of the download and then it changes to "Waiting to install" and just stays there. What I usually do is click the "back" button (or touch it or whatever), then click the app again and push the "install" button again. Then it installs fine.
It's not a deal breaker, but it is kind of annoying.
You can try downloading the newer market. I couldn't download apps with the old market, so I downloaded the new market .apk and can download apps from there.
Did you find the apk in these forums?

Did a system wipe of my device (with backup of course), everything is working again as it was ( after recreating the account ), clearing the cache/data has not helped.
I have the exact same issue on my tf as ferparedes.

the solution is one and follow my steps cause this thing almost drove me crazy for a week and yes,i could not install anything.
1.erase everything from the internal memory of your transformer connected to your computer. i mean,from the pc move them all to recycle bin.
2. go to recovery menu,and do a wipe data and wipe cache.then do a wipe dalvik cache and then fresh install from install from sd card the revolver rom.
3.HERE IS THE TRICKY PART.
after the first boot,you must do a factory reset of the tablet from the option inside the honeycomb,from the settings.
(NOT from the recovery menu)
i dont remember where this is,i think in development,you will find out.
after the factory reset you will see and android yellow box and the tab will do a reset and erase everything.
Voila! The market will work like a dream and you will never have again problem.
Trust me...i searched a lot for this problem...its the only solution.
they say its a bug in the android secure folder or something and only with a reformat of the file structure it can be solved.
I noticed that disconnecting and reconnecting Google talk solves that installation problem from the market.
To get this across, this is not an "insufficient space' error.
Alright so to make a long story short: (I hope)
I have used Weapon G2x for about 2 mo, everything ran fine. I wanted more power+battery life over the LG cam, so I went back to EB 2.3.5(7) (oct 11th update) + Trinity T15. I also formatted my SD card before that (which I havnt done yet).
After installing that I ran into the CM issue with the LED notifications being disabled and got reboots after about 20 FC's after a reboot. So it was essentially a boot loop, just after all the FC's in the first 20 seconds. So I did the same as usual, cleared cache, factory reset, format /system.
Reinstalled, updated with Titanium, the same jumbo as usual. This time, I cannot update the apps that need to updated via the market. I looked into it farther (after clearing data from market app), and uninstalled some apps then tried re-installing them. All i get is a box with an error that says "... Was unsuccessful due to an error" Thats it.
To go to the farthest realm, i reverted to my stock backup to try that. I get the same thing now. On every ROM I try, I cannot update my apps. Now I'm not sure if this is a TB thing, or a market issue with my phone, but if i reverted back to my stock version, did nothing but try and update an app, I dont possibly see how its a TB issue.
I ran some searches, and nothing exact or at least nothing was 'fixed' in any posts I found. So I'm shooting in the dark here. To be honest, i hope its something totally stupid and easy to fix. If I read right, going to a backup will fix your ext4 to ext3 issue? Im not even sure if this falls into that category or not, but just thought maybe. In that respect I also wanted a clean phone so i formatted everything except sd card via cwm, was their anything in their I shouldnt have formatted? (emmc would be the only one I could see posing an issue) Please help me =/
Well it seems to have been slowly working itself out. Very odd, but I still cant update a few apps, but I can update some, and dl apps now at least. I diddnt do anything, it just seems to have started happening after a few reboots... Just making the update.
