[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.

Hi, have 2 new Samsung nexus S (for myself and my wife), trying to install on both the CM7 after everything formated and cleaned and for the 3rd time after awhile of working (few minutes) the download from anywhere is failing - in the market every download sends an error that media process is failing and then the download is stuck (happening also in any download).

have you tried fixing permissions? in the terminal app on your phone(included in cm) type...
su(press enter)
fix_permissions(press enter)
also, if you have root explorer, delete the app files in /cache/download/

yeap, have been there, wiped also all cache

wiping cache doesnt wipe this. you got to manually delete those files if they are in that folder.

also..
go to main settings, applications, manage applications, all, download manager, clear data/cache.

yes i know i've just mentioned what i did so far... seems like an hardware error but it is happening on 2 devices!, all downloads are failing, many programs error and sounds are not there when trying to chose rings / sms

stupid question.. have you tried redownloading the rom and gapps, then flashing them again?

yes
for 3 time. installing CM7, then GAPPS, then switching to Hebrew, working with the device for awhile then its beginning...
i'll try to track the things i do now to see what can cause it.

I think the problem could be compatibility, just found that my devices are I9023 model and not the I9020 that probably the roms are built on..

When booting into bootloader i see device id is I9020 while it should be I9023 as i see in the back of my my device (behind the battery) could be that causing problems?

[Q] Cannot install anything from Market after burning CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V6.5

After installing "CoreDroid HD GB 2.3.3 V6.5" everything seems like it's working fine, except the I can't install anything from the market. I can start the Market app, select an app, click install, Click OK, it will briefly dispay a download bar (a sec or so) and then the download bar dissapears and the app is not installed, no errors are being displayed, nothing. I tried to clead data & cache from for the Market, rebooted the device, tried another SD card, tried without an SD card. I'm out of ideas. Please help! ;-)

Did you try reflashing the ROM?
Before flashing a ROM, do the following:
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache
wipe delvik

If you would have done a search you would have seen the thread on this exact issue that was on the first page 3 days ago. Jesus you ppl are lazy.

[Q] Wired bug after installing new google camera app

Hi,
After installing today the new google camera app from play store I noticed that it does not show as installed on play store but it was. So I decided to run uninstall all updates of the camera app with the settings. After the next reboot my phone showed me that I have to sign in to my google account (like on the first boot), so I did it. I checked the accounts on the settings menu and noticed that all accounts was cleared even my wifi settings. Now I wanted to delete this buggy camera app and restore it with a zip file, so I booted into recovery and noticed that cwm can't mount E (my SD Card).
It is the first time something like this happened to me. Do I have to be worried about my phone?
Phone details:
Nexus 5 with root with unlocked boot loader
Cyanogen mod 11 m5

ok, then youre not as bad off as i was fearing. first, if you dont want the new camera app, go to the phones main settings, apps, find the camera app, open it and press uninstall update. the issue with your recovery is different, ive seen many people with that issue these past few weeks, honestly i dont know how its solved, but people have solved it. id go to the thread for your recovery and ask about it there.

My English is not the best, but (like I wrote in my first post) uninstalling the update caused this problem. Any idea how something like this is possible?

it didnt "cause" the problem, it was just coincidence. installing/uninstalling apps have nothing to do with the recovery, nothing. the "cwm can't mount E" is a very common issue though.

Thank you very much for you help I will start to setup all accounts again and hope that this will not happen again :silly:

Problems with Link2SD on Sony Xperia Arcs

Hi,
After problems with insufficient memory on my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S I decided to partition my SD Card using Link 2SD. Apart from the fact that it took 3 days to get my head around some of the more technical stuff I managed ok..and was pleased with myself when i finally had it all done on my phone with the 2 partitions.
I then used Link2SD to create links to my SD card for those apps that allowed it. However, after doing so, my phone came up with a message telling me that Facebook (kahuna?) app was broken and not responding (sorry, I can't remember the exact message now) I waited, rebooted and tried again but still not working so went back to Link2SD to remove link for this that I had previously created. (Figuring this would put it back to before i moved it) Rebooted phone and now Facebook, Google Play etc have all gone off my phone menu. They were still there as available apps, but when trying to launch them from Link2SD the message displayed that these apps had been removed. I then managed to uninstall the apps that were causing the problem, rebooted and tried to do fresh install of them. However, when going to Google Play via my p.c I am told these are already on my device!?! I cannot find them anywhere on my device at all
I hope I have explained this well enough for someone to offer help as to how to get Facebook and Google Play back on to my phone. Everything else seems to be working ok, it's just these two apps that seem to have gone awol.
To clarify, I just need to know if there is a way to get Facebook and Google Play back

have you rooted your device before using link2sd...?
see this application requires root permissions to work properly...
secondly..it depends on by which method yu have partitioned your sd card...

Thank you for replying. Yes, I did root the phone before starting, and confirmed this was active by making sure the superuser app was on phone. To partition the SD card i used mini tool partition wizard.

OK, Thank you. Though, repeating the process again won't bring back Facebook, GMail & Google Play Store etc, will it? Which, is really all I need to do now. I did follow proper guides when doing all this, I researched it for 3 days solid making sure I knew everything i could before beginning something like this and followed it all to the letter so really am stumped as to what went wrong. Everything else worked ok when linking to sd card via Link2sd...it's just Facebook, Gmail & Google Play Store that have somehow been corrupted.
Thank you anyway, though, I appreciate your advice. I'll keep trying:fingers-crossed:

Like you I also installed Link2Sd on both my tablets and phones and they have never been the same since. Constant FC on anything that the app touched. I've sent repeated emails to the developer that have went unanswered and also posted in his thread. I fear your going to have to wipe and reload. I did that with a spare phone and it was back 100%. Hate to have to do the others as no matter what type of backup I use I always end up loosing something

That's just it, I can't download them, and as I said at start, really and truly that is my issue.
Link2sd has corrupted them to the point where the phone doesn't recognise them as being installed anymore, but google play etc will not let me re-download them as they say my device already has them on. That is the problem i'm having. The apps are there but not there!
