Market broken after tether hack - Motorola Atrix 2

Running updated, rooted, stock. Performed entitlement check hack for tethering. Tether works great. But now a number of things are happening.
1) error "process com.motorola.service.main" fc
2) error "process com.motorola.socialservice" fc
3) play store cannot download
4) screenlock not there
multiple other fc's
Have reverted entitlement check back to 1 and still happening.
Any ideas?

Screen lock not there? Like a blank screen?
And a quick google search from my end is not showing this hack for atrix 2. I'm only seeing it for OG atrix and bionic.
Little more info? The more you give the better we can help you. A link to the thread where you got the "hack" would be helpful as well. It helps to know what the mod actually modifies.

Hack came from xda atrix2 dev forum.
When I press the power button to wake device, it goes straight to home screen. No "Slide to unlock" screen.

ok, have you tried to set the settings back to what they were originally?

Its a very common issue with google play store, what you have to do is go to manage app/all apps/google play store and uninstall updates
Now your old market will be restored launch it accept anything it says after it loads everything close it go again to all apps and to market this time and clear data and cache and perform a reboot.
After reboot launch market and hit my apps you should see your preinstalled apps in the list.
Now download 2-3 apps from market and in 10 mins it will be automatically updated to google play and you'll be able to download apps from Google play.
This method was assisted by Google support team to me when i had this problem so give it a try.

First thing I did was revert to original.
Uninstalled Play Store updates. Stopped the install crashes but installs start and just stop with no message. All other errors still happening. Seems to be something to do with google log in( I'm guessing). I'm reluctant to remove the google account because I don't want to lose all the work I've put in so far.
Any other ideas?

Might be time to flash the fxz, if you didn't make CWM backup.

After much deliberation (and frustration) I have rolled back to 2.3.5. I've decided to wait for ICS. Thanks to Jim and the device team. For the work they are doing.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium

wait... were you on ICS? And you were able to FXZ back to 2.3.5? Or you were on 2.3.6?
I have the entitlement check disabled on ICS for tethering and haven't had any new problems introduced. Have a feeling maybe something else happened here.

Can't download apps from Market after Cog 2.3b6

I just flashed Cog 2.3b6 and when i try to download an app it tells me that it will start but they never do... Anyone with this problem?
Yep. Problem here. Not sure why.

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue
Posted from my Captivate running Perception build 3 with SetiroN's SuperOptimized kernel
I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.
I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.
It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone
ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?
because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id
Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.
Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work
Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

How to recover from aggressive bloatware

Deleting Tmobile myaccount will cause your phone to go into infinite force closes making your phone unusable. If this happens, remove your SD card and SIM card, than reboot. After rebooting you will see your bloatware has returned and your phone will be back to normal. Using titanium backup, however, and "freezing" the app causes no problems and at least stops the background services from running. Deleting Telenav GPS navigator will NOT effect your phone's gps as one thread in general states, and freezing the "backup" system app which runs the tmobile contacts syncing account in titanium backup is good to do a well. Both of these apps leave 2 constant background services running.

Kind of a live and learn thing?
MyAccount is actually a nice app to have. Provides quick access to your account information as opposed to accessing via the web. not sure why you would want to remove it anyhow it's not really bloatware as much as it is a functional app design for tmobile customers.
Tmobile TV is another story.
Your right to a degree
its all depending on the person....I mean I personally never worry about my minute usage so i dont need to constantly check, so for me its useless, and if i really wanted to access my account id just go on my comp.... anyways like i said its all opinion
I deleted my account and just held the power button to reboot. No issues with it coming back and no more my account.

Of course, same as if you deleted Wifi Calling. That's why I hold down power until the phone reboots and then it doesn't force close anymore.
Why delete those? Especially MyAccount, provides useful information for sure!
I deleted My Account 1.0 and now have FC Issues, HELP!
I was trying to get rid of "My Account", AKA T-Mobile My Acount, to keep it from constantantly running in the background, but actually deleted "My Account 1.0", nad not the "My Account 4.?" with Titanium Pro... I tried to freeze them both but the program kept appearing in my task list, so I deleted the My Account 1.0 entry.
Soon as I did, I got a buzz... buzz buzz buzz... the buzzes of death... I now get force closes when ending a phone call, when trying to read SMS, and when trying to view my call log.
This is killing me, and I have no idea how to fix it...
Any experts out there, please help!

Apparently freezing the "Wifi Calling" app dosn't actually work for me, even after rebooting.
Orionsmart, if you remove DriveSmart, does it remove the link for it inside the settings menu?
EDIT: I just went ahead and removed it, was tired of it running constantly without even using it, and the menu item remains. Small price to pay I suppose.

Is this confirmed?
I think i read in more then one thread that it will affect your GPS.
I only kept it because of this, so if i could be sure, i would remove it right away.

If I backup TeleNAV GPS with Titanium Backup, and then delete it, how can I restore it? I want to have as many MB free in Storage since the reason why I bought the phone was to access the Market and install lots of useful apps
Titanium backup created two files: com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.properties
com.telenav.app.android.telenav-20110314-174328.tar.gz
The tar.gz file has this inside:
\data\com.telenav.app.android.telenav\
inside I see 4 folders:
.\databases
.\files
.\lib
.\shared_prefs
What should I do now if I want to restore the Bloatware?
The custom Odin tar file that krylon posted works great includes root, and already has bloat removed. After I got it flashed on my phone there is a huge difference much smoother and faster than original stock.

Why would you want to do that ?
on the other hand, i think there is a stock software file floating around the forums somewhere..
If you want to replace something and you are rooted. Buy root explorer from the market and get your hands on the. Apk (for this phone) and really install the apps you want. Otherwise if you root first then make a back up of apps with titanium backup from the market, you can then also select the ones you want and either delete or freeze the ones you don't want to keep.

[Q] auto market app download

I wipe my rom often, on each install i notice google market trying to download apps i used to have. Its NEVER all of them, its only a few here and there but sometimes it downloads NOTHING. Is there a way to find your app list that market sync's with so that it automatically syncs them every time? Is there a way to edit the list? because sometimes i find that it downloads older apps i removed a while back.
Any help would be appreciated...
I've wondered the same thing. When I used to be stock rooted on Froyo, I would notice my phone would always download all the apps from the market automatically, maybe save for the last couple of apps I downloaded before trying a new rom. But while I use Titanium Backup most of the time, it seems my phone no longer downloads them from the Market on its own. The last time it tried, it downloaded all the apps I have from about 3 months ago. So where am I missing the little option to make sure it always tries to download my most recent apps? I assumed they had always been backing themselves up automatically, but I guess not.
You can use SQLite editor to tinker with the market database. Don't know if that will help. Each installed app is listed in it and whether or not auto update is enabled for that app.

IS that a phone app or something i can do on the computer?
It's Google backup that downloads all your apps back from market, if you are not in 4g or WiFi your phone is screwed for an hour or so of battery drain.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Menu, setting, privacy. Is this checked? This being checked allows google to have those backup and you see this option shortly after the sign in. Mine its not checked because I don't use that feature but this started with Froyo.

[Q] Purchased apps now gone after upgrade to cm9

I just flashed my ROM to cm9 from cm7 and installed the google apps package.
When I log in open Android Play (same account), and go my My Apps, all my previously downloaded apps and purchases are there still there, but none of them say 'PURCHASED'. They now list the purchase price of the app. Essentially, it's not recognizing I purchased any of my apps.
Can anyone tell me why this is happening?
EDIT: If I go on my computer and visit https://play.google.com/store, My purchased library still exists and I am able to install it via send to phone.
So really, it's a matter of inconvenience.
I read an Engadget article saying this is happening to a ton of people and Google is aware and working to rectify it.

Try going to manage apps and deleting app data for play store. That has worked for me in the past.

Yes Google is aware of this and best thing to do log out your gmail account clear data then reopen/sign back in. But if that doesn't help you'll have wait till Google updates

It seems to have fixed itself. Maybe there was just some server delay recognizing my phone.

Apps installing by themselves

Hey I was wondering if anyone else has had apps install by themself, over the past few days a couple of apps have somehow showed up on my home screen. They don't show up under the app drawer or under apps in settings. Also ever since these started coming thru I keep getting notifications for other stuff like "lose belly fat" and "job offers starting at $325 and hour". I'm currently running aokp m6 if it helps. I've done a full wipe and it stopped for a day and then came back. I'll post some screen shots of the apps.
P.s. the ones installing automatically are the last three above the PayPal widget.

I too had some Apps install on their own. But they were apps I had before I attempted a NANDROID Restore, which for some odd reason failed and killed my Boot. So I was forced to re-flash my stock boot/ROM on my S3 (AT&T Flavor) and repeat the Rooting process. But once I started looking through my app drawer, some of these apps were being re-installed. Odd, perhaps some internal back-up that I'm not aware of on ICS.
Yea these are random apps that aren't even from the play store. When I click on them they open the browser and take me to a page to sign up for a subscription.

Have you installed recently any pirate app? An app not bought or downloaded from Android market?
I saw some apps that installs a patch that brings/installs apps and shortcuts on your cellphone. Tô solve this Just delete the program or patch and use an antivirus Just in case...
Good luck

I'm having this issue but its legit apps keep "updating" themselves baxk after I uninstall them
ie: bbm, flashify, (more I can't think off atm)
Some of the apps has Adware build in it, which means if you download the App, it will spam your Home screen full.
You can fix this problem by manually delete it everytime, to fix it permantly you need to delete the app.

Are you sure you uninstalled the right one?
also do you have any virus on your phone? I don't think this is the problem though.

Yes multiple times
Today I went as far as deleting history of them being installed in the app store... Waiting to see if they are back tomorrow
Update: still happening. Resorting to auto update off and still having to stop installs... Something to do with rebooting, or its triggering it
