[Q] market won't download, email won't add gmail account, ROM manager won't flash - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I hate to start a new thread but I don't know where to go from here.
First off; I am having issues with the market not downloading anything, the files go to the download folder and say downloading forever. I am unable to download anything.
Secondly; I try to add my gmail account to the email app and it says "setup could not finish, unable to open connection to server." However I am able to add the gmail account to the gmail app.
Both were working before I flashed my Captivate using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 and then rooted it with SuperOneClick. I have flashed it a few times thinking that it could of been a bad flash, but always the same result. I have tried to access the market and email before rooting and still the same result.
I have sideloaded ROMmanager and was hoping to load a new rom that may fix the issues however ROMmanager will not flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I click it and a download bar appears for a split second and then nothing.
I am at my wits end trying to solve the issues here.
Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot!

Backup your data, and do a master clear using I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0.exe. Reinstall the ROM afterwards. I hope it helps.

Thanks for the quick replay.
I have tried that a few times already. Any other ideas

I've read a lot of solutions to the market issue saying to log in to google talk. Yet when I open talk it simply says could not connect to server. will retry shortly.
Thanks

This is the update zip created by rom manager. Save to your internal sd. Use three button to get into recovery. Reinstall packages, boots to same screen. Reinstall packages. Boots into clockwork. You can flash a rom from there

Solved the problem.
Do a factory reset through the menus. Once it boots back up, open the market and proceed to add your google account that way.
Worked perfectly for me.

Constant crashes after firmware update

Hi guys, I just updated to the new version through Kies. As soon as my phone booted and I exited lock screen, a lot of popups of processes that crashed show up. This includes android.process.acore, com.google.processes.gapps, Daily Briefing, calendar... pretty much everything shows up and I don't have access to anything on the phone. Apparently usb debug got back on so I can't get kies to recognize the phone.
I have a contract-free galaxy s from germany. Rooted. Uninstalled ryans lag fix through market before upgrading. I don't know what I did wrong.
What can I do? Thank you very much!

Try a factory reset. It will wipe your phone.

Just did a factory reset via recovery mode. Did not solve the problem. Weird thing: How can it still know remember what's my lockscreen password if it was factory reset?
Have the same problem here... Before Factory reset the phone was stuck at the Big S, after reset, it started, I could enter my pin and then the force closes started
Now downloading firmware and hope restoring via Odin will work. Luckily downoad mode still works
Hey mate can you please provide links of firmware you are using and odin? Please report if you have sucess too. Thanks!

Go into the phone settings, manage applications, Choose GMail, clear the data. Go back and choose GMail Storage and choose to clear that data. Try to force a sync.
Then reboot the phone.

I can't do anything on my phone mate, the popups won't stop showing up
thanks for the link
tried flashing directly from ODIN, now it got even worse
error is at booting
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid argument) E:copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA
Help? I have tried with 512.pic and 803.pic, both failed
Aww, that's bad.
Here all went well. Used Odin to flash back to the original FW I had installed (XXJF3), then used kies to go again to JM2 and just finished installing Froyo
Now to get all my apps back. Hopefully Titanium Backup does what it promises

restore apps only, do not restore settings, else it will crash or cause other weird problems

[Q] I896 - Unable to flash clockworkmod

Hello Everyone,
As my post count indicates I'm new to the forums, I've been a lurker here for a long time for various phones. I am a Android noob but I'm finding it fun to work with. I just got my Galaxy S two days ago, I'm on the Rogers network. I'm in the IT field so I am quite comfortable with this type of work yet I can't help but feel like I'm missing something really simple. The problem is I am unable to flash ClockworkMod Recovery from ROM Manager - I choose the option and I get the progress bar at the top of the app for a second then nothing happens. My phone is rooted via z4root. I've ran "Fix Permissions" from within ROM Manager then power cycled the phone. ROM Manager in the application list within SU. I've tried removing and reinstalling ROM Manager as well. I'm at a bit of a loss.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Go there, and copy that update.zip to your sdcard, then manually enter recovery and reinstall packages. It will load CWR from that update.zip.

ClockworkMod not loading?

ive searched the forums but couldnt find anything helpful. so i have my captivate rooted and its on 2.2 fw. i load rom manager and it says the clockworkmod is loaded and i reboot to recovery but i get the android recovery 3e instead of the CWM. I try to apply the update.zip but of course the signature is not verified. i tried older versions but half of them are not loading. I also tried the 3e modified recovery installer but after it installs and runs rageagainstthecage it fails on stopping adb server. Any help would be great.
Thanks - MaDDaWg
EDIT: I foudn a way to manually redo the recover to run unsigned sigs. sorry for the post. feel free to delete!
I have sort of the opposite problem- I recently used CWM to upgrade a DX to the pre-rooted GB and all went swimingly except that just about everytime I reboot the phone, CWM turns on. From there, if I select reboot, it will reboot properly, but I can't get CWM to turn off. I had this same problem on another DX and I was able to go into Manage Apps, found the D2 Bootstrapper running, so I selected "Force Stop" and that resolved the problem, but on this particular phone, the D2 Bootstrapper is not listed in the running applications, so that resolution is a dead-end.
Thoughts greatly appreciated!

[Q] teamhacksung ICS build 8 market issues

Posting here because I can't post on the dev thread being a newbie and all. I've installed [ROM][ICS][ITL41D] teamhacksung's ICS Port for Galaxy S (BUILD 8) and for the most part it's working great! Really love the changes in ICS over GB.
I had CM7.1 installed, I did a data wipe/factory restore, cleared cache and even cleared dalvik cache, installed ICS and then installed Gapps 5.1.
I have two major issues with Market:
1) When on the Market website it shows a bunch of apps in the INSTALLED state to my phone but due to the wipe they are not installed.
2) When I click install on an app from the website it says "This app will be downloaded to your device shortly." but then I never see it on my device.
I CAN install apps via Market from the phone though with no issues.
I've restarted, verified internet connection, etc. I even tried reinstalling Gapps.
Any ideas?
I know there have been times mine would not download anything after I used the website until I went on my phone and downloaded something else, then it like "wakes up" and downloads what I sent through the website. Have you tried that? Also, you are making sure you Ars logged into the same google account on the website as your phone, right?
Sent from my ice creamed Captivate
Yeah I've been able to successfully download from the phone... still nothing on the site. And yes, same google account as on the phone - if I initiate a download/purchase from the website it does show up on the phone market app under the not installed portion of My Apps...
I've also tried with Wi-Fi enabled/disabled, tried switching to airplane mode and back... still no go.
SOLVED!
Pain in the ass though. Did factory reset/data wipe from within ICS, including formatting the SD card. Reinstalled CM7, booted, booted into recovery, then wiped cache/factory reset, reinstalled ICS then booted, booted into recovery, installed Google Apps and it seems to be working. Still shows up on Market website as "Installed" but allows me to select the phone and it does sent the push install.
Must have been some data setting that was preventing it. Oh well, good to start with a fresh phone once in a while

Process com.android.systemui has stopped

Im sure ill get flamed but i have searched and couldnt find an answer.
I have a z2 odexed stock with root. Just updated new firmware via pc companion to 17.1.2.a.0.314.
i downloaded the xposed installer and that went well. Then downloaded the serajrs xposed module so i can get different themes to work, extended power menu etc. everything seemed to install fine however now after rebooting i get this error.
it boots up but stays on the home screen and i can do is keep hitting ok to acknowledge the problem but i cant do anything else.
It was the stock rom so i dont have any custom recovery to go into to restore a nandroid or flash another rom (which i didnt want to do).
All i have is my titanium backup but i cant get past the error, any help would be greatly appreciated
* the error appeared about every 2 seconds so each time i hit ok, i was able to go 1 step each time. Basically was able to get into settings and do a factory reset which managed to do the trick. restored via TB so minimal setup time again. Would still like to know where i went wrong though but grateful didnt brick it lol (yes i can laugh about it now)
For next time: check the FAQ and stuck threads for info on how to temporarily disable Xposed (with or without a recovery).
The FC was likely caused by a module, so you should ask in the module's thread instead.
