Stuck in "starting download" in marketplace - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

D/L'ed Titanium backup last night and started removing unnecessary stock apps. Tried today to D/L from the marketplace and each D/L gets stuck in "starting download." I was reading somewhere that removing Google Talk might have something to do with this. Any suggestions?

I was having a problem with the market as well today. So I went into settings/applications/manage applications and cleared all data and updates involved with google market and don't have a problem

There are a lot of people who have issues with the market if they remove google talk. If you removed it, try replacing it and see what happens.

download link? should I just extract it from a custom rom?
Also, instead of starting a new topic..I have already rooted my phone but can't seem to find a step by step to installing a custom rom. I D/L'ed Darchdroid 2.7 but don't really know where to go from there. Link or see below?
Is this the correct way?
Download ROM ZIP of Choice: XDA Wiki - ROMs
1) Copy ROM ZIP to SDCard Root (/sdcard/)
2) Reboot into recovery mode>Flash zip from sdcard>select ROM ZIP

Okay so I have been experiencing the same problems. I am a bit new to this but have been reading like crazy on how go fix it.
So here's the deal: I have the Droid X 2.1 w/update (not 2.2), rooted, and yesterday I started uninstalling annoying stock apps, using Titanium Backup. Not thinking anything of it, I then go to the market and realize that I cannot download anything. My phones internet works great! (I'm using it to write this now) and I can even download apps from the phones stock browser, but the Market is stuck on download. I followed your instructions on uninstalling it, canceling it, rebooting it, but nothing is working. I think wiped my phone thinking it would reinstall the stock apps. To my dismay, nope. So now I have no apps on my phone except the few stock apps I have left. I heard the problem is Google Talk but if i'm not mistaken, DroidX can't flash ROMS. So any suggestions? I'm open to all!

You lost root when you rolled back to rc 29. You'll need to redo the process.
Yep just like he said. When you reload RC29 you lose root.
Yes I know I lost root not worried about that. My phone will not let me install in apk. From the market or the internet. I can down load them but not install them
any ideas
let me clear stuff up. i know i lost root im not trying to flash anything to my phone. ( i have rooted 3 different g1s several times and a couple of different ways i have good idea how this works i think)
i cant install any application on my phone!
i am getting a installation unsuccessful error with all .apks on rc 29.
also this mean i can not get root back do the fact i cant telnet or run any third party app.
so my phone i stuck in original stock hell.

The problem is that rc29 is based on Android 1.0 and currently the telnet app in the market is made for Android 1.5... that's why that, or any other of your 1.5 apps, fail to install.
Try to find a copy fo the 1.0 release of telnetd and try again

sorry thought you were providing a link to one click root thread sorry its been a long night.
ok i think i had a swap partition still on my sd card. and when i flashed back it some how read that as internal memory so i used another card. and it worked like magic. lol gosh im dumb!!! if you ever need anything feel free to ask me i would give some money but im broke college kid. and im about to test and see if get the same results and if i do i would like the word out. because i think one click root app will be short lived (which kind of sucks).

Maps update problem

I have CM 4.2.11.1 installed on my phone, and I cannot install Maps from the market. It downloads and starts to install and then says that it cant be installed.
I've been searching around and can't find an answer. Can someone link me to the maps update image that was posted a little while ago?
It was something someone made that you just flash in the recovery menu so it installs through there.
If someone could post it, that would be great. Thanks!
Remove maps from ext partition of your sd card, wipe dalvik-cache. You should be able to install maps then. If not, flash HTC 1.6 stock image and then latest CM and try again.
Good luck.

i had the same issue like u, what i did was...
download the the android 1.6 and the latest cyan i understand u know how to get those...
after that u need to wipe everything a mean everything, ext, dalvik, data, if ur using RA-recovery, DONT WIPE THE BATTERY DATA.
Next flash the android 1.6 dont restart, flash the cyan and thats it.
U can get the maps update..
ITS THE ONLY WAY IT WORKS FOR ME. BELIEVE I TRY ALL THE METHODS
yeah, I did a fresh install like the others said when I had this issue.

the reason its not installing is because the installed app and the one your downloading have different signatures. comepletely uninstall the installed maps and then install the new maps

[Q] missing market apps

i had my phone upgraded by a friend to cognition 3.02, which was a bonus after he fixed some settings so the phone could read my sim again. everything works great, but i have run into yet another problem. the app store doesent show me all the apps, and i actually cant find anything i was able to use before, all is shows me is a bunch of apps that have less than 50 downloads. i also sometimes get a message saying that my device might not be compatible with the android market. All i want is to the the market to work properly and not have to bring it back in so my friend has to waste more time toying around with it.
All is appreciated

Did you back up your android id when on stock?
Did you try this, settings, applications, manage, market, clear data?

I have the same problem after reflashing a ROM tonight. I am in a test market site and all the apps available are all test apps. I tried flashing various ROM's with the same result. I had this happen to me before and it took 24 hours before things returned to normal so I am calling it a night.

So i still have to talk with him huh. (nope havent tried there yet prolly do that next). one more thing though, what if i just use odin to flash to stock, would that undo everything he did? if not, might it also help fix the market issue?

Yeah it seems that way. To be honest that should have been your first stop to find the answer as most issues are posted and fixed there. If you flash with odin to the correct firmware then yes it will. What firmware did you have?

Android Market Unstable?

Hello all,
After flashing CyanogenMod the other day, I decided I didn't like it too much. ( Mind you, I just use my phone for basic phone stuff, so please don't flame me for it. xD ) So I used a nandroid to go back to my original (rooted) stuff.
However, in doing this, it seems that it messed up my Market app somehow.
Whenever I try to search, open, or do anything involving the Market App, it'll say: Attention. A network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen.
It's been like this for a while now. I can use internet, voice-to-text, and anything else that requires data ( not even WiFi works with Market ), but not Market.
What can I do to fix this?
Full wipe. Fresh install of rom+gapps.
Yea its Me Again With The
Modified Hero
@laie - he said he nanded back to rooted stock
@OP - try the nand restore again? Otherwise you could try adb shell fix_permissions?

It tells me that "fix_permissions: not found"
Edit: I've got it fixing now, will edit with update.
Edit(2): It didn't help, sadly.
I don't even remember, but does rooted stock 1.5 allow you to install non-market apps? If so, go find a market 2.3.6 apk on xda or google. Delete the one you have, boot into recovery wipe cache and then reboot, install the app - see if that'll work.
Nope, that didn't work sadly... Ironically, my Market worked perfectly without the updates installed. Is it possible just to block all updates for the Market apk?
this might work for you. a friend was having similar problem. this is what i did (note, i really really think that it was pure coincidence but...) go to SETTINGS -> APPLICATIONS -> MANAGE APPS. locate Market, if Force Stop is not greyed out. then click it, then click Clear Data.
like i said, his was having the same problem, i really think that it may have been a coincidence, but maybe not.

Yes, you need to delete the system app "marketupdater.apk". Also, if you go into settings/manage apps/all/market - can you click the button "uninstall updates"? If not, do you know what market version you had that worked? If so try to find and install that one using the same steps as I mentioned before. If that doesn't work, I'm at a loss.
Also what ngholson just posted is a good idea along with clear cache from the same menu.
I hope you get it figured out, good luck.

Yea and??? He can still start fresh. He posted he did a nand back to his rooted stuff. Which means he can srart fresh. As in wipe data,cache dev-cache and sd-ext.

The problem version is 2002306, oddly enough, I've overheard some other people having problems with it as well at a place a friend works. Maybe it's a stock hero thing. I'll revert to an older version, maybe one day this will clear itself out.
Thank you everyone for participating in helping me. At least it was a good effort.

Laie I was just telling you, don't get all frisky. If you read the OP again, you'll see he WANTS to be on stock 1.5. I couldn't tell you why lol. Maybe you forgot (it's been forever) but stock and sense based ROMs already contain gapps. You only flash those on AOSP based ROMs, so he can't reflash gapps. If he wiped and then nand restored it would've restored /system which is where the market would live in a stock ROM. His issue was likely a market auto-update which did not agree with old ass donut stock. Who knows. I wasn't bashing you, and I'm not now, calm down. Hopefully this info helps you help someone later. Peace.
OP- I have ONE MORE idea. Go grab a themed market zip from xda member "pendo" - he has green, blue, and red. They should flash from recovery. Delete your current market app FIRST, and clear cache and dalvik cache in recovery, flash and reboot. Good luck.
EDIT: 2 ideas I guess, copy the nand backup to your computer, find the "marketupdater.apk" in /system/app and delete it out of the nand. Copy that new nand to the same place as the current one you have and try to wipe all then restore that newish one.... I actally have NO idea if you can alter a nand or the system.img it contains, but it may be worth a shot. You could also just give up, and get gingerbread, because it's AWESOME.

LOL agreed.
@OP - You could also try one of the *ahm* market replacements. like *ahm* applanet or something (not sure how 'legal' they are but...)
also, i know someone mentioned it before but did you ever get your permissions fixed? if not try that too, you can do it from ROM Manager.

Duce were in the op does he say he's looking to get back to 1.5??? Humm think you might be reading to much " lol " eyes playing tricks on you??? He said he restored his rooted stuff. Not restored 1.5. And nope I remember 1.5 and I'm aware of the gapps only flash with aosp. I posted my comment because he didn't say 1.5 so I took a guess as he was not on 1.5 because he didn't mention it. So mabey this will help you help someone in the future slow it down when ya read.

I redid everything on it, the only thing I haven't touched is the radio file.
When I tried CyanogenMod 6 at the start of this thread, it had me flash 2.42.01.04.27. Could that be the problem?
And I'm terribly sorry for the delay in replying. Other issues are stealing my time.

That's about it. I think it's all worked flawlessly until the radio, but I'm not sure. If I'm missing any info, please let me know.
maybe consider starting completely over. download a new rom, i recommend aospcmod. download the latest version of gapps at the same time. if you don't already have it install ROMManager from errr. damnit your market doesn't work... hopefully you already have it. Open rom manager and install a custom recovery (i recommend clockworkmod) once that is done copy both the new rom and gapps zips to your sdcard, reboot to recovery (either manually or using rommanager) wipe everything. then select 'choose zip from sdcard' (or similar, can't remember exact verbiage) and install your ROM, then before you let it reboot, then use the same option and install gapps as well, then reboot. follow setup and it should work fine.

Hello everyone, I am new to this whole rooting thing. I rooted my galaxy s7 edge and everything was fine and working properly until a couple of days ago. I deleted my SuperSU and some other backup files on accident. I re-downloaded the app on the playstore and now the SuperSU app says that root is not detected. I am trying to fix it and I can't figure it out. Someone please help me, I need to either unroot my phone or somehow get superSU back. Again I am new to this I tried to flash a zip in recovery and cannot seem to figure it out. Anyone know how to fix my phone???

Flash the unSU zip from here to unroot, then make the same that you did to root it again.
I am having a hard time flashing things to my phone. Would you be able to help me a little more detailed. My phone doesnt want to recognize the file do you use odin or a program?

So after I download FlashFire I can flash new files onto my phone from my phone? I am sorry I am asking so many questions I am just getting frustrated and slightly confused with all of this.

I never tried it (don't needed), you need to try for yourself. Just a silly question, do you have a nandroid backup, before the issue happened!?

Well I wanted to use some of my apps such as PokemonGO, and with the root it wouldnt let me. I read on this site that deleting 3rd party apps and then signing into the apps would work. They made it seem like all I had to do was redownload SuperSu. However all the rooted apps are gone and a lot of other files are gone, and I still cannot use the PokemonGo app. I cant seem to flash the zip file that everyone says to do. When I try to open SuperSU it says it root undetected, but my bootloader still says custom and when I reboot in recovery it says custom. Also rootchecker says that I am not rooted. I just want to get my phone working either with the original software, or rooting all over again.

How on earth did you delete the Play store when trying to remove third party apps?
Anyway... I'd nuke the phone and start from scratch. Have you searched through your device's forum for advice? Feels like the more appropriate place to go... Good luck.
My phone loaded into recovery mode and factory reset the phone and now there is nothing on it. I cant get it to load what can I do
what is ur problem?

Your phone did that by itself? Seems unlikely...
And that doesn't sound like a factory reset, it sounds like compete wipe.
Like I said, go to your device's forum, find the stock firmware (here's one guide) or a custom ROM and flash it to your device. If you need further advice, those forums is the place to go...
What you really need to do though is read, read, read about what you're doing, before doing it. "Sir! Put the device down and step away!" :laugh:
