[Q] Market not working: "Download failed", tried everything.

I know that there are tons of threads about this but none of them have helped. My market just will not work. It shows it downloading, then displays the message "Download failed" for a split second and disappears.
I have an HTC Desire (BravoC/CDMA) with the latest version of CyanogenMod 7 Nightly and ClockworkMod 2.5.0.9 for recovery. I also have Firerat's Custom MTD Partition. Details and links to all these can be found in my signature.
I feel like I've tried everything. Uninstall updates, Installed latest GApps, Installed old versions of GApps, Installed leaked versions of Gapps, cleared cache, formatted device.
This has been happening since the new market website was released. It really sucks, I can't update any apps or download any new apps.
If anyone can offer any help or suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you

Try removing SD card then try again. I had the same problem with my galaxy s I removed SD card backup on PC then I formatted it put it back in and market works perfect, don't ask me why but this worked for me
Sent from my Ideos using XDA App

a little weird thing i noticed is,if i have checked the box that allows applications to be download to the external(Apps2sd) whatever i try to download, will be resulted with Unsuccessful. When i unchecked it, my downloads were successful.
See if you have it checked.

I discovered that it was a problem with the CSC file. I had exactly the same issue with a 'mixed up' firmware. Download would not work at all from the market. Anyhow, I flashed the phone (galaxy s) with a different CSC file and the market started downloading.
the only thing I had changed was that file.
So u may want to consider that Hope this helps.

I think there is also a possibility of going to applications --> market, and then stop & clear data.

same situation here...
re-flash the rom and market won't download anything.
But it's strange that I can install apps from web market.

i know i'm at the wrong thread but could somebody help me pls with sgs gingerbread im stuck at on command where it is saying that busybox is not a valid command and thats its not recognized

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, after some time I have discovered what was causing the market issue. It was the Firerat Custom MTD Partition Mod the whole time. Apparently the new version of the market deals with downloads a little differently now and doesn't get along with Firerat's mod.
So now the waiting game begins for a new update from Firerat.

Hi,
NOt a solution, but I found a workaround for this issue on my phone.
I am using Hyperdroid GBX V8 on my HTC HD2 now. From last 2 days I was struggling with this problem. I tried all solutions I found with google. Clearning everything and Reflashing, clearing the market and caches for other apps, reflashing, unmount/mount SDCARD and so on, smaller bigger recovery partition, without EXT3/4 partition.
Still the problem exist on the phone. But I found a workaround. Logon to market.android.com using your google id and password, select the app you want to install and click install. if your phone is up and live, it will be installed in a few seconds.
In other words, pull doesnt work, but push works .
Thanks.

[Q] Market reinstall fails

For some reason the Market did not download apps and updates anymore. All downloads simply failed ending up in paused downloads. I figured maybe a Market downgrade would fix this so I uninstalled the Market with Titanium Backup. After that I put Vending.apk (version 2.3.4) in /system/apps but for some reason the Market does not start. It doesn't show up in the app drawer either and simply clicking on vending.apk does nothing. Am I maybe missing a step here??

Maybe try with the one linked in the 2nd post on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=896312
That is what I used since my chinese stock rom did not include a real Market.
Just put the zip on the root directory of your SD card and install it from the regular recovery (power ON + volume down).
Hope it works for you.

Both the stock recovery and clockworkmod report an error in the zip file. It's in the root of the sd card. It opens fine on the pc.
*edit*
It seems that this update.zip is specifically made for the ME525.

Out of despair I decided to flash another rom (Pays 5.1). But to my surprise the problem remains! This is horrible because now I can't reinstall most of my apps. Simple things like clearing the market cache has no effect. Why doesn't the Market work as it should?
*edit*
Also tried to download apps over the mobile network but same result. Seems the ISP isn't the problem.

Have you done all the wipe setp?

Check if Data Saver is enabled.

Well after having changed nothing at all the downloads started working normally again. After doing some more online research I noticed more people had similar problems, probably due to problems with google's servers. At least it wasn't my phone although it made me flash a new Rom resulting in a now undowngradable and warranty void phone. Oh well at least it works again. Nevertheless thanks for all the suggestions!

[Q] Can't download from app market - and no backup!?!

Hi all...I hope someone can help with my problem.
Background: After my stock phone 'crashed' last week I have spent a few days on the forum's and have learnt how to fix it.... First I created a goldcard and recovered the device using a stock WWE ROM (updated device using the PB.zip method). This all seemed fine, so then decided to use enrevoked3 to root....this went fine and I ended up with rooted version of a stock WWE ROM (I think?). It wasn’t until I decided to install a custom ROM (starting with a backup) that I found I couldn’t download anything from the app market!
I thought it was unrevoked that had caused the problem so re-flashed the WWE ROM, but found I still had the same issue (an no longer a rooted device ).
After researching on the forums it looks like I’m missing the gtalk.apk which is used by the app store (does this mean the WWE ROM I have is not up to date or complete?) However, this isnt so much of a problem if you reinstall the gtalkservices.apk, but after trying 3 different apk files from 3 different threads on this subject I still am unable to download anything from the app store (the apk's wont install and just come up with an error - 'application wont install' - also I tried this on the phone when it was rooted and after I reflashed back to the WWE ROM)
Can anyone suggest how I fix this?? I dont have a stock ROM that I can flash back to and I didnt have a backup of my original ROM as I hadn't expected to need it (as before last week my phone was 02 stock).
As a thought I wonder if I re-root with unrevoked and then installed a custom ROM (not the WWE ROM I currently have, something like Cyanogen or Miui) that maybe this would solve the problem assuming the custom ROM I installed included all the relevant gtalk apk’s etc??
I have tried to find the solution without posting another thread, but none of the other threads I have read seem to cover the same issue (most of the solutions are either re-flash your previos ROM, which I cant do, or install the apk, which doesnt seem to work..)
any and all help much appreciated

apart from step 5...this seems to have worked...hope it helps someone else one day ;-)
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and clear data
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Install an app from market.android.com.

I signed to market and started to download mvideoplayer.. BOOM failure... I took SD card(8GB) and put it into phone and tried again.. Nothing.. After few minutes i went to file manager and acctually file called mvideoplayer.apk was on /sdcard/downloads/.
But that was the only file that i could download now even after factory reset Now every time I get the message. "download unsuccessfully"
I have to say that i bought this device because previous was archos and i didn't have market. NOW I DON'T HAVE IT AGAIN!
What I allready did:
1. Cleared cache (market, market updater, download manager)
2. Trying to factory reset (i don't have that option anywhere in menus!)

3. Created new gmail account - Doesn't HELP!

Do you have RM? In downloads find google. Try downloading a newer or. Older version of gapps flash through cwm
Also you can boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache, also should try" fix permissions"

Facebook not able to install, error -504

Hey guys and gals I've been fighting with this issue for a while and can't seem to find a way to fix it. I'm running the newest nightly for CM12 via safestrap and I've done a complete wipe and fresh install and I still can't install facebook. Tried clearing the data and cache from the google apps that were recommended via other threads.
This morning I did an entire wipe, installed stock, rooted, installed Facebook successfully, then installed Safestrap, made a new slot, installed CM, and facebook fails on install. Tried installing via Playstore as well as manually with the APK and both fail basically the same way though when doing the APK it doesn't give the 504 error.
So I'm hoping someone out there has another idea of something to try, in the interim I've been running Facebook lite, which works but notifications are unstable for me. It would be easier if I could run the normal app but it's been fighting me at every turn.
Thanks
Luke

Did you try pasting the .APK directly in /data/app and setting appropriate permissions?

Alright I figured I'd come back to this since I did end up finding a solution. I didn't try pasting the APK direct since I had read of some issues with guys doing that and having to wipe the device and I didn't want to have to do that. So I ended up using Titanium backup to backup the copy from the stock rom install that was working, and then restore it into the CM12 install and it worked. Wouldn't update via Play Store but it did work to get a functional install.
So if other guys find this thread down the road, this might be a way to make it work.
Take care!
Luke

I don't know why it wasn't working when you tried to install the apk, but sometimes happened to me something similar. I wasn't able to install any app from the PS, it always trow me an error, I don't remember the exact number, but if it wasn't 504, is really close. The only workaround was to delete my Google account and format data, and when it turned on I skipped the Google first startup wizard and went straight to the play store, and when it prompted to log on, I did and worked flawless. Glad to know that you already fixed it, but this workaround may help someone else
