i rooted my thunderbolt a few days ago and everything was working great. I downloaded titanium backup and while messing around, I somehow deleted the “file”/”app” that controls my phones data. After that, the only way I could get an internet connection was if I had wifi… I also deleted the play.google market app..
on the problem. I did a factory reset and the internet is back up and working. The problem is, I still have no market app and that’s where all my previous apps are stored. i logged on to play.google.com, and when I go to re-install one of my apps, it doesn’t bring my current phone up on the list.. I somehow installed the barcode reader but when I go to read an app code, it takes me to internet and says I don’t have permission… any help would be greatly appreciated.
same prob.. solution would be appreciated

I'm running Radioactive Froyo on a Samsung Moment. I installed and set up a whole bunch of apps before I realized I was using the wrong Google account. I need to change the primary account. The phone says I can only do this by resetting to factory defaults.
I backed up everything with Titanium, restored to factory defaults, configured with the correct account, and then restored all the apps via Titanium, but it seems like something's messed up -- the Market hangs on "Starting download..."
Is there a way to either change the account associated with the Market so it doesn't hang, or to reset the phone and reinstall those apps but not with the wrong account?
They are all free apps -- my concern is the time investment in downloading and customizing all of them.
Thanks!
whenever i download an app via android market web store, or send a link from chrome to phone, my phone will NEVER receive it.
it has worked flawlessly before, but seems to have stopped after i rooted.
any way to fix this?

Sending links to your phone requires an app called Google Chrome To Phone. You need to start up the app and agree to the terms before it will receive links, so give that a shot, even if you feel you have done that before.
Both sending links and having apps automatically installed rely on a Google Talk connection. You'll want to also check if Talk is connected as well.

i've used chrome to phone many times before, and have uninstalled/reinstalled on desktop and phone, logged in with another account, and nothing is working! i've also downloaded many apps from android market web store with no issues until recently when i rooted.
and it worked before without me being signed into google talk.
Try to reinstall the market can work in it
You may want to make sure you can log into Talk just to confirm the talk connection is working for things other than push. But if you know that already works...
I think it's time to go back to your Nandroid backup you took before rooting. If you're using a custom ROM, it may also be worth taking a backup and going back to stock to see if that improves the situation.
Then when you try rooting again, just test C2DM every now and then to isolate the step that causes things to stop working properly.

i had same problem try to reinstall market
lol I have no idea I'd my talk connection is working or not. when i launch talk, there is a little 'x' button beside 'Offline' under my gmail account, and when i sign in, the 'x' button is still there, although i have seemed to sign in. i dont have any contacts in google talk so i cant test if its properly working.
will try redownloading market to see if that works as well, thanks!
ill save unrooting to a last resort i guess :/
update:
ive tried redownloading market, but nothing changed. when i downloaded an app from the android market on the desktop, i didnt receive it on my phone, although the button said 'installed' on my computer.
i've also tried removing my account from the phone, and then downloading an app. the market (on desktop) still said 'installed' when there wasn't any phone linked to the email...
honestly i have no idea how to fix this.
Hi folks,
With the backup & restore function turned on, the Market automatically restores ALL of the applications I have ever installed using my associated Gmail account. I have been downloading applications using this account since 2010 and I have a large collection of applications, many of which I do not need, which are restored every time by the Market. What I want to know is how I can permanently uninstall or disable these apps from restoring. I want to restore only a select few of my apps, and not all. I have explored the different settings of the Market and I unfortunately could not come up with a solution to this problem. Hopefully someone here knows the answer to this problem.
may someone kindly help out.
Since I flash my phone alot, I had that happen to me. Now what I do is UNCHECK the backup and restore option in settings. If that don't work, then back up your apps, etc, and do a factory reset. Go through the welcome setup and when it comes to the part where it asks if you want to backup and restore then uncheck it.
Before you do the factory reset though, clear your market history and cache, first.
Hope this helps.
Her guys, so here's a thing. I adb sideloaded an OTA update to my phone. I had Google now on KK and after update it was turned on on lollipop as well, but Google search app kept crashing from time to time so i went to settings>apps>all and cleared its data. Well, guess what? It fixed the problem, app doesn't randomly stop anymore, but i lost Google now. and I really wanna get it back. I know the old way to turn it on doesn't work anymore and i read several threads here on this topic so i also know there is a way, but i need to factory reset my phone. Is there any other way so that i don't have to wipe all my data?
P.S. I wish android had some sort of software like iTunes which takes literally everything from your phone, including even information about how you previously had your phone settings, converts it into one file and stores on your computer. After restoring the backup everything is in its place, like you've had before. Damn.
Hi everyone,
I few days ago a virus got into my s6, and completely messed up the phone. I went to the phone service, and they removed the virus, and now the phone works properly. But the virus apparently deleted all contacts, both from the phone and google contacts. And i really need those contacts.
I rooted the device with CF Auto Root, checked the root status with root checker, and tried restoring the data with Android Recovery Transfer, FonePaw and EaseUS. Some of them asked for root like it wan't rooted, and one of these (i think FonePaw) found only 2 contacts. I believe that the problem is with SuperSU, so i downloaded it from a few different sites, and still nothing changed.
I wanted to try rooting again so i did full unroot with SuperSU, tried rooting again with KingoApp, which failed.
Then i installed aSQLiteManager, went to /data/data/android.providers.contacts/databases, and found 1 contacts database, which was created after the virus, and i honestly didn't really understand the programe.
I also tried restoring contacts on google as well, but it also couldn't find anything. It restores the contacts as they were 15 days ago, and nothing changes.
Any chance this contacts are still there somewhere ?
Hello, if you login into a Samsung account using your phone in the past your contact may be backed up there, that's if you have backed them up on the Samsung account
Yes, my Samsung account is already on, and contact syns is enabled too. Nothing there tho.
But i don't understand how can i not restore the contacts on google. It's as if they never existed, or deleted permamently.
the virus may have filtered to your google account and deleted them to. Since you had Samsung account accessible to the virus through the sync feature.
Just unbeliveable... Going to try downgrading to 5.1.1, and trying data recovery after that. Don't know what to do if that doesn't work.
