hey, first off, i'm a complete noob when it comes to rooting. however, i followed the instruction that you provided to root the viewsonic tablet below and it worked great. thank you very much for that. it was really helpful.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=865245&page=3
anyway, the first time i did it with tnt lite 2.2 everything worked out great. i had flash installed and market. however, i saw that there was a new release of tnt by viewsonic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=882521
so i downloaded that and followed the same instructions as above for rooting it. i got the rom to work just fine, however, now i have a problem with getting the android market back on the tablet.
basically, when i go to the manage apps and try to force stop market and google services framework, they're not there. furthermore, when i go to the ti, there's just overview, no backup/restore any more. i'm not sure what to do now. can you please help me. thank you very much. i've tried searching how to fix it and tried to install the tegra gapps, but it kept on aborting the installation. the more post's i read, the more confused i get about what i need to do.

Link to install tegra gapps and instructions
yes, i saw this post and tried it. downloaded the tegra file per instrustions, saved the downloaded file to sd card. turned of the tablet, got to recovery, went to install zip from sdcard, tried apply sdcard:update.zip and it just abort's because no file exists. i tried renaming the downloaded file as "update" and doing it, but it doesn't work. what am i doing wrong.
i opened the zip file and it contains two folders
1. system
2. meta-inf
when i did a recovery with the cwmod_v08.zip file originally, it contained
1. recovery folder
2. update.zip
could there be something missing in the first zip file?
Don't unzip the tegra gapps. In the clockwork menu there is a way to select what zip you want to install. Choose that option and then select the gapps file. The gapps file has to be on the internal sdcard.
man, i just spent over 1.5 hours reading the forum to figure this out and it was this easy. my mistake was that i was installing it on the external sd card. lol. it helps to know what you're doing.
thanks for the help. it seems to have worked.
No prob....glad you figured it out
one more issue now. i got the tegra gapps installed. however, when i go to TI to do backup/recovery, the option is not there. also, when i open ti backup for the first time, it says "sorry, i could not acquire root priveleges. this application will not work, please verify that your rom is rooted and includes Busybox, and try again"
how can i fix this?

this will get you you root
how do i install it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=446145&d=1290341328
download it and click on it...it's an installable apk. Then open it and press the big root button
i think i'm going back to tnt lite 3.0. this update sucks. not everything is working right. youtube the app won't even open and some other apps too. the youtube video from the actual website keep clitching. i keep getting force closes randomly. after all the time i wasted on this, it's funny that the roms provided by the xda community are still better. thank for your help.
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.

I just rooted my Inspire. I'm trying to flash a ROM for the first time using ROM Manager. It says I need CWM Recovery installed before continuing. But it is installed as far as I can tell, it is. There's a folder for it on the SD card. I tried using Flash ClockworkMod Recovery and it causes Superuser to force close.
I've search every string of words I can think of and none of the threads coming up are related to my issue. Fast Boot is off. Debugging is on. I'm new to flashing ROMs, so I'm sure it's something simple I'm missing, but it is REALLY pissing me off.
One of the threads did mention a superuser zip file needing to be in the root directory of the SD card. I don't see one in mine, so I won't be shocked if that's the problem. But then, it becomes a matter of finding where to download that zip.
Please help.

You need to reinstall su.
It's not letting me install it for whatever reason.
There is a certain irony that running "Fix Permissions" to solve the force close issue CAUSES Superuser to force close.
did you unzip the file? What rom are you running? Do have sdk?
I unzipped the file. Moved to the SD. Tried installing it from there. Yes, I have permissions set to install from non-market sources.
I'm running, presumably, the AT&T stock ROM, unless the Simple Root S-Off program installed something different.
Don't know the answer to the SDK question.
Have you tried to clear out the 'data' for 'Superuser' application under application settings?

As said try clearing data and cache.
If that doesn't work.
Uninstall su.
Download anrdoid SDK
Cope all the files from platform tools to tools
place su apk in tools folder
shift+right click on the tools folder, open command promp
use adb to push apk
Code:
adb devices( make sure it is connected)
adb remount
adb push ./(name of app) /system/app
Here's a possible reason I'm having a problem.
When I did the root, I used a spare SD card to make the gold card. I've been trying to flash a ROM with my regular SD card. Could that be what's causing it?

no, the gold card is only needed to downgrade the radio/rom and pass the CID check.
So here's where I'm at....
It won't let me install the superuser fix above.
It won't let me uninstall superuser.
I even purchased the pro version for the Market, hoping that it might install a version over the version flashed there and that doesn't force close every freaking time I try to do anything in ROM manager.
In the meantime, I miss about 50% of the texts, emails and notifications on my phone because, of course, I don't HEAR them. And the bloatware is bogging down the phone.
So, are there any suggestions before I walk outside and throw this phone into the Atlantic Ocean?
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!

Hiya everyone,
Been a long time user without any major problems. Today, my tablet, started to crash, having GAPPS and Play Services keep stopping, and then everything, mail, maps, plus loads of other apps, just stopping, pretty much 'bricking' the device.
I've spent the morning trying to install Lollipop (I've been on KitKat, via a Cyanogenmod ROM), but I cannot seem to install anything. I've got a newer ROM - cm-12.1-20150407-0546-UNOFFICIAL-p5100.zip, but every time I try to install it, I just get a Status 7 error message. If I try to install the original ROM I had, but that won't install either, with the same Status 7 error .
I've done a full wipe of cache, dev (thing), everything, but it's still not working. I've tried this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-2/help/probably-n00b-question-gt-5100-flashing-t3104842
But (the newest) version of Odin, won't let me install the CF-Root Download. I've tried it without the auto-restart, but when I go into Recovery Mode, it's on ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.7 and it won't install any of the MODS I have.
Please can someone help...I've been going mental all morning!
Quick a quick update, but I think there's something serisouly wrong.
Basically, everything is stopping, all the time. But I did try to move the ROM to the internal sdcard from the external one...it wouldn't copy. I then found I cannot delete or write anything to the internal memory, like it's write-protected or something.
I can't do anything, since every 30 seconds I get the barrage of '...has stopped. OK or Report...' and then they keep popping up.

Do you have a link? I've searched but can't find anything.
I've just tried to install GT-P5100_CWM_6.0.5.1.tar.md5, via Odin, it says everything was fine and goes to reboot, only to find the ClockWorkMod is still v6.0.2.7. So it's not updating anything.
I'm sure the internal storage isn't letting me write/delete anything.
