Problem with Android Market after Downgrading Radio

So after the big radio scare with the Alpha Gingerbread radio, I downgraded back to a Froyo radio and BAMF Remix 1.6.3. Since then, I've been having tons of difficulty with the Android Marketplace. Initially, after changing the radios, my Apps did their usual thing and began downloading themselves and installing themselves on my phone. About half-way through, all the downloads paused and restarted. Since then, every single App I've tried to download or upgrade through the market has failed. I just get the error message "Download failed. Please try again."
I've already tried flashing several different radios, wiping and re-wiping, and installing several other ROMs and nothing has fixed this issue. Is there a certain specific radio I need to flash in order to fix this? I'm really getting frustrated. I guess I could restore the phone back to stock and try re-rooting from scratch, but I'd rather avoid this as it takes a lot of time. Are there any possible fixes to this/Is anyone experiencing similar issues? Thanks in advance, guys.

Have you tried clearing the market cache?

Yeah, I have. I've literally tried every single thing I can think of involving the marketplace including re-installing the vender.apk off of the system files. I'm guessing it must be a problem with the radio because prior to the swap, I had no problems. What's strange is that I have absolutely no problems with data or voice; it's just this issue with the market place that's becoming a real hassle =\

Flash a different radio and kernel, then reflash the rom. I don't know how it could cause a problem with the market, but you might as well start all over.

Alright I'll give this a try. Over the course of the day I tried flashing several different radios and ROMs with no success, but I didn't touch the kernel. I'll do all three at once and see if that remedies the problem at all. I searched around the forums a ton and I can't find anybody else facing the same problem.

I'm having the same problem on BAMF 1.6.3 remix. When I flashed I didn't change the radio as it seemed that others were having problems. I'm fairly new to the whole rooting thing so I doubt I can help much. I've tried wiping cache & clearing data in Market, fixing permissions via ROM Manager. I can install some apps from Market, but there are numerous ones that I had previously purchased that will not install. I have no problem with Amazon App Store. Hope this helps.

[Q] Market Apps wont download

I am using Coredroid V7.
When I am trying to download apps from the official app market, it doesnt download.
it says downloading then just clears itself out. i try it again it doesnt download it.
i even did a full wipe(1.5 and coredroid wipe) then freshly flashed the rom again, then it doesnt download again.
because of that i even had to RE-root my phone..well that didnt fix it as well..
it worked completely fine in 6.7. can anyone help me whats wrong with it? i even resetted my phone..nothing worked...
im trying to download miren browser..

Wow hmm I had this before. Are you setting up any accounts after flashing? What I mean is once you flash and get to set up tutorial,when it asks about setting up accounts,so u log into Facebook or Google right then?

Well, after the extensive wiping/rerooting/reflashing/reseting you've done, to no avail, maybe it's just the market acting up.
I've run into similar download issues both stock/unrooted and custom/rooted, from time to time. It's usually that stuck progress bar that never seems to move and never finishes, almost always when trying download something that's set to update automatically.
I've also run into specific downloads not kicking in, as you're describing. It usually clears itself up if I just wait a little while and try again.
Not a very specific solution to your problem, but all I'm saying is that after all you've done to "reset," that should have taken care of the problem, if the problem was indeed on your end.
FWIW.

Do a Search for Full Wipe, there is something you can run that just cleans yer device completely. I would try that. Else; I am unsure.

Settings->Applications->Market-> Clear Data/Cache ???
Worked for me =(

It's just a sporadic issue with the Android Market. I have encountered this very same problem and thought it was the rom but never did any reflashing or wiping data/cache but then I would go try to download an app and it would successfully download and install. I think it's an issue with the android market.

Just fyi, I flashed v7 tonight, and installed several apps after the fact, so I can at least assure you that it's but the ROM.

Solution kinda
I was having the same problem tried all sorts of wipes to no avail ended up just downloading and installing new cooler looking app market thinking it would solve my problem but it didn't just gave me an error message to go along with it.....so the solution u say......annoyingly simple really reboot into recovery after installing new market clear cache and dalvik cache too just to be sure.
confirmed working as of 5 minutes ago.
with new market
on virtuous unity rom (but I don't see a reason it shouldn't work on most roms with weird market bug)
new market ***here***

try to uninstall some apps of your phone. Maybe it will help the other to install. Moreover, you shouldn't do anything with your phone when apps are downloading. Excuse my bad english, I'm french.

aha thanks dude but there arent any apps, thats the problem, even when i first booted and cm7 asked me to installl the google apps they wouldnt install, only market and talk ar on there the rest are the stock cm7 ones :S

make sure you have enough space to install apps on your device!

[Q] Google Voice Search won't update from Market

I've tried on the stock rooted GB OTA and on Xboarders tweaked GB and each time I attempt to Update, I get an Installation error: Package file was not signed correctly. This is occurring after factory resets as well.
Am I the only person encountering this, as I've not seen any mention of it in the forums?

Did you try removing the previous version first?

Not yet... I have tried freezing it with no effect on the outcome. Will give that a shot, but I'm curious if anyone else is seeing this issue or if my phone has been hitting the bong when I'm not looking.
Update: Removing the system version (2.1.3) allowed me to download and install the latest (2.1.4). But it just seems like a weird issue. I wonder if LG had done something to the 2.1.3 version that made it incompatible with updating.

Same issue here im gonna root then reinstall the app.

I've done just as mentioned in removing and installing however
The message of voice search being an "incompatible update" appears. Would either of you have the old apk or help with installation of the new one? Unfortunately I thought I backed up the old .apk but it never fully downloaded to my dropbox server ...Thank you in advance!

try rebooting phone first then go to market and try to install i had that error earlier today and a reboot fixed the issue if not try rooting first

Thank you
It is rooted, and it worked after rebooting twice. The first reboot didn't do anything after deleting the ap. Then after looking around I found the lib folder and deleted that too. Afterwards rebooted again and it installed, Thank you though!

no prob glad i could kinda help

Where is the lib folder?

[Q] HTC Sensation Both Cameras woes not work

Hi Everyone!
First, I know this has been discussed many times, but it was never solved under any topic, and all topics are pretty old...
Maybe someone has some new method for fixing this?
Upon entering any camera app, it just throws me back to homescreen, or displays "can't connect to camera"(depending on the rom).
Also, usind z-device, both cameras and flash are red-crossed. I can not initialize flash with any app neither.
I have tried all the possible roms, it happens on all of them.
Of course, tried clearing cache of the app too..
Did anyone fix this issue, or is this purely hardware ?
Thanks in advance!

Have you done a full partition wipe and format?

Hi. Have you completely wiped and formatted all of your partitions before flashing your ROMS? If you are using 4EXT then you can just use the option "format all partitions (except sdcard)". Use Titanium backup to backup your apps before doing this. I also always make a complete backup of the previous ROM, just-in-case, I need to quickly fallback in case of disaster. Then flash the ROM and then the GAPPS. If you have done this and things still do not work, then there is definitely something different about your device. In general, the camera is quite buggy in many of the ROMs I have tried. With one ROM trying to make a video recording will cause the gallery to crash and then I will get the same error about not being able to connect to the camera, but, once I reboot, this message goes away and I can take pictures again. Good luck!
