Just posted this in the Desire HD forum but I was hoping you might be able to help here...
I couple of days ago I installed the official RRU for Gingerbread but found it had too many issues with Wifi so I temp rooted it and downgraded it back to stock 2.2.
However I have been having serious issues with downloading apps off the Market since then. Whenever I try to do this I just get a 'Download was unsuccessful. Please try again' error message. I have tried to wipe the market, market updater and download manager cache but this does not fix the issue. I've also tried factory resets and that hasn't solved the issue either. The issue occurs on both Wifi and 3G. Strangely I can still install apps using the Market website (http://market.android.com).
I thought it may be an issue with the phone but after a factory reset I signed up to a new Google Account and I can download apps fine with that. However, I need to use my main Google Account as it has all of my contacts and app purchases on there.
Any help with sorting this out would be greatfully appreciated as it's becoming really frustrating for me.
I use Froyo. So in Froyo you have to go to:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications --> Market
And from there you just have to press the button " Clear data "
That is the fix for the Android Market " Download was unsuccessful "

Hello, I have an htc Evo 4G and running CyanogenMod. A few weeks ago I was unable to download SOME Apps from the Android market.... So I started reading some posts about people having the same issue... Someone said that the solution was to delete the cache from the download manager, market, and market updater. After I did this.. im now unable to download ANY app from the market, not even Install from the Sd Card. I just see the download arrow for less than a second and it disappears. I go back to the market... and the progress bar says downloading and it stays there , nothing happens.
Is there a fix, do i need to take my phone to get flash again...
help please
Try down-grading to previous version of Market by removing update and using Titanium. Check the CM7 Nightly thread on Inc S
Hi,
had a similar problem on HD2 with a different CM Build of course.
After reboot the download started automatically again and application has been installed. Since then market downloads were working fine.
WHY? - Who knows, but not me.... ;-)
Probably this will help to solve your problem.
But first try out the downgrade of market App recommended by "ashishling".

I've had a similar issue before on my My Touch 3G Slide. After some research I found that Google Talk is some how linked to the Market. Try opening that app on your network first, making sure it signs in with your account. Then try downloading your apps from the market. This has worked for me every time I ran into that issue.
Well for whatever reason, I'm running the Gummy Nexus ICS ROM, and I'm getting an error with the new Google Play market app whenever I attempt to download an app. I got online with my phone connected via USB and it worked fine when downloading apps from the marketplace online. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this error and if there's a solution.
It helps if you state which error "this error" is. Also, state what fixes you've tried and what the results were. Did you try clearing Market data? Tried uninstalling Market updates?
Yes I tried both. It just says "(application) could not be downloaded due to an error. (-101)"
It also says sign into Google wallet online

Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
Hi everyone, i m new here.
I have faced a big problem nw.
First of all, i can't download app from Google Play Store properly. It keeps giving me a message 'XXX could not be downloaded due to an error 927'. For sometimes the download will run but it can't complete the download.
This starts to happen after i have install and run ' Vodafone Market Enabler *ADS* ' from Google Play Store. (Ok i admit that i m stupid to use an app that i even dunno how it works.)
Though i still can access to internet via Facebook or Browser, but i can feel that there is a different compared to before. (Eg. Sometime it will show 'can't connect to internet' when using Facebook and laggy when using Browser)
I have searched everywhere to find the solution and tried everything i can do, but the problem is still there.
Maybe buying a new phone could solve the matter but i really can't afford it.
I m using SE Xperia Arc S
Build number 4.1.B.0587
and it is rooted.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I too have that phone and had the same prob
R u sure you logged in your google account
And no need for that app Vodafone market enabler
Waitin for ur reply
U can private message me ok
Ok, my phone is getting back to normal just now with no reason, or maybe i can say with don't know which is the reason is.
Let post my 'fixing route' below :
1. Run a 'Factory reset data' in Setting w/o Reset SD card. Problem is still there.
2. Update my phone to unroot it. Of course this is useless here.
3. Rooting my phone again. What m i doing... orz
...Starting to find any solution.
4. Clear data in Setting -> App -> Google Play Store(Force stopped), Google Play Services(Force stopped) and Google Services Framework(Force stopped). Remove my google account and add it back. Reboot. Problem is still there.
5. Uninstall updates of Google Play Store and uninstall Google Play Services. Problem is still there.
6. A solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20196766&postcount=14 but i don't know the way to find the .cache so i just leave it.
7. Remove the battery and SD card from phone and leave it about 5 seconds, then place in the SD card and the battery. Problem is still there.
8. A solution by boot into recovery mode and clear the cache and dalvic but my phone can't enter recovery mode so i passed it.
9. Run again 'Factory reset data' w/o Reset SD card. It starts to work as i finally can update my Facebook. After that everything goes back to could-not-be-downloaded-due-to-an-error-927 situation again.
10. Again, running 'Factory reset data' and now with 'Reset SD card'(of course important data is backed up). Problem is still there....
11. Frustrated, keep repeating cancel the download and re-download it. It works, Facebook updated and Root Checker installed. Then, once again it failed to download any other things.
12. About an hour pass then try again the '4th route'. But this time i just force stop and clear data of Google Play Store, Google Services Framework. Strange thing, i go to Google Play Store and it shows me 'Server error'. Restart phone. Google Play Store turns back to normal, but still failed to download.
13. Again after an hour, trying to download again, I found everything has going back to normal. Problem solved.
Though the problem was solved now, still i m scared this will happen again as what had happen in 9. and 11.
My apologies on my broken English.

Google Account Issue
It appears that this is an account issue, for some of us. I am having the same problem on multiple devices with my Google Apps account, but my gmail account is working just fine on those devices.
Google is evidently aware of it, and its gotten a little press on Android Police. Whatever you do, don't listen to what people are saying and factory reset the device. IT doesn't help, and all it winds up doing is removing access to all of your paid / no paid apps.
A small discussion has sprung up on the Google Wallet forum here.

i have had this issue on ics not on jelly bean before my fix for this normally was less radical than an factory reset
Suspects:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Services Framework
3. Download Manger
Step 1 remove all Gmail accounts from settings menu under accounts (i do this because i want a clear start like when you did a factory reset)
Step 2 locate Google Play Store (android market app) in settings menu > applications > all > Google Play Store
2.1 Force Stop
2.2 Uninstall Updates
2.3 Clear data & cache
Step 3 locate Google Services Framework in settings menu > applications > all > Google Services Framework
3.1 Force Stop
3.2 Uninstall Updates
3.3 Clear data & cache
Step 4 locate Download Manger in settings menu > applications > all > Download Manger
4.1 Force Stop
4.2 Uninstall Updates this does not get update make sure its enabled
4.3 Clear data & cache
Step 5 do a restart for good luck
Step 6 Open Google Play Store and setup you Google account again
Step 7 Open you favorite email program and setup you account
Basically you just did a factory reset only on Google Play Store & Google Services Framework & Download Manger
Good luck hope this helps helped me a few times in the past
Don't waste your time with this. It's permanent, account related, Even a factory reset and reflash doesn't fix it.
