I can't update my gmail? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I can't update my gmail in the Market. It downloads completely and begins to install but fails to install. I get a popup saying "package file is not signed correctly"
All my other apps download and install without any issues. Does anyone know why I cannot update my gmail?
I have fixed permissions in CWM, wiped data/factory reset, wiped cache and wiped dalvik.
I have also used Odin to "start clean" using Whitehawkx KC1 and flashed a new ROM.
Any ideas on what is going on with my gmail update would be greatly appreciated. Gmail is a very important app for our phone.
Thank you.

do you have a custom rom or custom gmail app? If so use titanium to back it up then rip it out. Reboot your phone and install official app from market.

Ya. I have custom gmail from Audiophile.. I didn't even think of that because my gmail was working fine.
Well atleast all my flashing and reflashing served a purpose. I had some gremlins move in last week. My phone would vibrate for no reason, freeze up, I'd hit the power button and nothing would happen ect once in a while. Now it is working Great again.
Thank you for your help. I will definitely do what you said.

ya if you constantly flash roms sometimes its wise to factory reset if you have a issue with one app delete it though titanium and then reinstall it ...

You could always re-flash the rom again, or go under settings-applications-market-force close-clear app data. See if that helps, then delete your google account and re-setup.

If your device is booting, then just reflash with odin again. You might also need to do a factory/reset wipe after backing up critical data (such as TiBu backups, and backups from SMS Backup and Restore)
Also, only use the "restore system data" feature of TiBu when restoring from the EXACT same ROM. Otherwise you'll wind up with all sorts of weird problems.
The only times you're completely hosed are:
1) Your USB port is physically damaged and you can't charge or connect in any way
2) You flashed a bad bootloader (so far has not happened to anyone here other than Aou and he was an experimental volunteer) and have the "black screen hardbrick"

[Q] anyone have this happen?

did a oden back to stock,factory reset then i flashed mikeys miui after i set up my google account went to market to download titanium backup so i could restore my apps and once i clicked on my apps what do i see but every app i have downloaded before is already downloading to my phone. anyone else have this happen
There is an option on some of the aosp Rome that restores the phone from Google it was prob checked when you set up

Had you done a complete wipe when installing the ROM? I had this same problem when on an earlier version of Synergy, I brought it to eschelon's attention and when I installed the next version he put out I had no problems. Now I don't know if it had to do with anything echelon changed(because he did say he was going to change something to do with Gmail) or if it was just because I wiped and re-installed the ROM.
If you use Titanium backup to restore it also, that may be the issue because I restored all system info and data up until I had that problem and then just haven't used it on the upgraged of the ROM.
I would suggest wiping everything and then just re-install the rom and any apps manually.
Had the same issue. Wipe data,cache and format system. Should be good to go.

[Q] I need help.

I'm not a dev, but it's obvious to me something is wrong.
I re-flashed the eaglesblood ICS rom using clockworkmod recovery v.5.8.1.3 (touch version)
everything seemed okay.
until i started putting apps back on my phone with app backup and restore.
I was getting "process syystem has stopped responding" all over the place.
Then the phone crashed.
it keeps booting, only three apps seem to be running that show themselves in the taskbar, Groove IP, GV SMS integration, and Battery Notifier (Big Text)
It sits there, one one of the home screens, LW animating slowly as it will.. then the phone reboots for no reason.
I installed 4 or 5 different logcat apps but i can't make heads or tails of them
and adb logcat > logcat.txt just spits out this :
/sbin/sh: exec: line 1: logcat: not found
dmesg spits out the log i'm attaching.
Can anyone help me? If i can save the log from one of the logcat apps, will that help?
I'd rather not have to reflash and re-install apps AGAIN.
Where you flashing EB 4.0.4 from gingerbread ?
In any case a full wipe and reflash of the ROMs would work fine. Then reflash the appropriate gapps, But when restoring the apps using TB just restore at apps and not their data. They sometimes don't play well.
I had a similar issue when I tried flashing the 4.2 gapps on 4.1.2 keyboard would crash everytime and any app that uses even one of the google services would crash right away.
I cleared dalvic cache did a dirty flash over my existing 4.1.2 , reflashed the 4.1.2 gapps then I fixed permissions and in was good to go.

so a dirty reflash and fix permissions might help?
Funny enough, after posting that, and hitting reboot on CWM recovery.. the phone came up with the cord plugged in, and seems to be stable for now.
Uhm. i was flashing from.... heck if i know, i've tried a bunch of roms.
the phone INITIALLY was 2.3.4

*grumble* damn sun-downer phone. SO all night it was crashing.. So i finally got irritated when i went to bed, yanked the battery out and plopped it on my night-stand by my fan.
This morning i put the battery in, turn it on, and it seems stable.
What the heck?!
logs.
So... between all the log apps i've played with i have a bunch of logs.. if anyone could look them over and tell me if they see a problem, i'd appreciate it.
Re-download Rom+Gapps
Place on SD card
Re-nvflash cwm recovery 5.0.2.0
Wipe data/cache/davlk/battstats/format system
Install rom+gapps
Wipe cache/davlk/battstats
Fix permissions
Reboot
Using touch is sometimes buggy, 5.0.2.0 is most stable. Restoring apps/data is sometimes a messes things up.

Force Close Loop (Bricked?)

Hey Guys - I am out of ideas and think my run with the charge might be coming to an end.
My phone is running FP8 stock ROM, rooted, with some apps frozen using TiBu. I have not issues with this set up since the update was pushed. I used tweak for a year or so, then went back to stock for FP8.
A few days ago my phone started to act weird. Widgets were not updating, apps randomly force closing. It was annoying but still usable. I decided to do a factory reset and then everything hit the fan. When I boot up the phone every app on my phone force closes and it is not usable. The "Setup Wizard" also force closes so I can not even get past that.
I have tried flashing other ROMs including Eclipse, tweaked, EP4 with pit, etc.The flash is successful but the force closes persist. I have also tried wiping data through stock recovery and CWM, but I do not think it works. I still see force close errors when the phone boots of apps that should have been wiped (twitter,TiBu, etc.). Anything else I can try? Pretty desperate as it looks like this thing might be toast.
Cliffs
Phone acting weird, reset data multiple times and everything force closes. Phone is not usable at all.
Tried wiping data but does not seem to work, downloaded apps still force close
Flashed different ROMS (both stock w/ pit and custom)
Still force closing. Help?
If the force closes are persisting even though data is wiped, you may have something nasty sticking around through dirty flashes (assuming you're flashing over the old). Make sure you clear all caches and if that doesn't work, it's a shot in the dark but you may want to try formatting the system partition through CWM and then reinstalling FP8 or whatever custom ROM you want. Whatever you do have backups ready...

Thanks for the idea. I am pretty sure I have already tried this but through CWM I will clear cache, davlik cache, data, and format system then try a flash of stock with .pit
Like you said, it seems like whatever is causing this is still sticking around even after all this clearing/flashing. Is there any way to clear these things through adb? Or would getting a log be worth my time?
If all else fails try odin.

I have tried flashing ROMS (stock and custom) through ODIN and to no avail. I am able to flash but it still does not overwrite the corrupted data. I still get force close errors for downloaded apps that should have been erased/over written. Even formatted my SD card just to be sure and didn't help.
Seems like my only option may be to somehow find and delete the data through ADB. Clearing through CVM and stock recovery is not doing anything. Problem is I do not know where this old/bad data is!

Never heard of PST when you posted that. Good idea, but I just tried a few flashes and the effect was no different than ODIN/CWM
This problem keeps getting weirder. So sometimes I am able to get through into the phone (even though I get force close pop ups every 2 seconds). I was able to uninstall most of the apps causing the FCs (not all because some are the system apps).
However, everytime the phone reboots the apps come back! Where in the hell are they being cached/stored to just magically re-appear after data wipes/flashes/un-installs. Seems like I have all these corrupted apps that I can not get rid of. Through terminal emulator I cleared data, and davlik but didn't help.
Have you pulled your sd card and sim then checked if it would boot. Also wipe internal sd from stock recovery

Yea, eventually I can get it to boot but the phone is not usable with all the force closing. The option to clear internal SD only seems to be available for the older ROMS, but I flashed ED1 and cleared it. No luck.
Think I may just be out of ideas on this one...
Pray to jeebus, might be your last option

Have you gone into Settings, Accounts & Sync and turned everything off? If you are back to stock then this could be the cause of restore of the apps. You are using the full EP4 odin - rom, kernel and radios - correct?

Yep I have turned them off. My settings also get reset however when I clear data, reboot, re flash etc.
Good question about the full EP4 ODIN. I have been using the ones from imnuts website, and have also tried the CWM packages from kvswim's thread in the development section. Tried Eclipse Beta 2 & EP4,EE4,ED1, FP8 stock. I also tried the CM10 ROM just to see if the change to ext file system would do anything. Not sure if any of them are labled as having rom,kernal and radios, but I would imagine at least a few of them are.
No matter what I do, I get outsmarted and all my corruped apps, settings and force closes remain.
I think you can skip activation after flashing ep4 and still get the ota's to get to fp1, fp5 and finally fp8. once there try activation, etc. Keep it purely stock no root. still fc's? IMHO your phone storage is hosed.

To skip activation - on the setup screen click on the Emergency Dial button. Once at the dialer, dial:
*#TESTMODE (or *#83786633)
That will "enable the soft keys", making it so you can then hit home to get to the launcher without activating.

Pretty cool! Didn't know I could do that. However once getting past that just about every app continues to force close including tw launcher.
Being that old apps & settings will continue to be restored after doing everything possible to get rid of them it must be a hardware issue.
Oh well, I will keep the phone around for the hell of it but guess it's time I look into something new.
