So I just rooted my G1 and installed Eclair 2.1.
For some reason I can't download anything from the market? Everything just sits at the 'installing' section of the app market and never really starts.
I would just install everything off the SD card but the ROM didnt even come w/ a file manager
Would I be better off installing a different rom or am I missing something? I am not recieving text messages either, but I was told that is because the G1 isnt compatible/working w/ the default message system and I would need to use a 3rd party app (Handcent, ChompSMS, etc)
Any help is appreciated
I have a retarded issue with it on my 1.5 Dream. Try signing into Google Talk. Not much of a fix... but if it works...

First, we need to know which rom you're using. Eclair is the version name of 2.1, not the rom. At that point, we might be able to help you. Also, roms generally dont come with file managers, you have to use your own. An alternate way to install your apps would be to install them through ADB.

Whomever told you that the G1 doesnt work with the default messaging app on 2.1 was lying. I can think of three roms off the top of my head that run it just fine. Hell, i've got it working on my G1 as I type this.
So once you get us some more information, perhaps we could help you out.
like the other guy said, i have heard that signing into google talk fixes the market download bug, also try rebooting, if i have this problem a reboot and about 5 minute wait will fix it.
For those who down play twitter, this is why it can be good. Samsung has released a direct way to get the JI6 update without waiting for OTA via Mini Kies(really? lol). So for those who want it that way, here you go

JI6 Update problems
Okay, now after updating through Kies Mini, I keep getting errors:
com.android.phone
android.process.media
com.android.calendar
etc... has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
and then you have to hit "Force Close"
...anyone know how to fix this?
Stock Vibrant
Lag Fix & Root
...FIXED
I just flashed to stock and then to JI6 with ODIN and now everything works.
after updated, my phone now stuck at bootscreen
i updated mines successfully..
please be AWARE that you have to DISABLE any lagfix before performing this update or else you may soft brick your phone. if you soft-bricked, i suggest flashing back to stock JFD build via ODIN and then update to ji6 via Kies Mini.
also be sure your usb debugging is on.
i also suggest you refer to the samsung kies mini thread that was originally posted in the vibrant general section since most have shared their experiences with updating there.
so according to the site,,, GPS fix is not included in JI6, it will be available in a few weeks...
few weeks = December
Samsuck needs to learn what customer support is.

Anyone done this and able to see fandango app in the market? I am not able to
My friend got the update OTA and is able to see fandango.
i did it successfully but don't see the fandango app either
duno what's going on there
How can I download this update!!! Stupid me hit cancel instead of install when i got my notification for it. I cant figure out how to update it now.
not updating?
i spoke to my local tmobile rep about what this update is really about and if it's even worth it for me to update...he's rooted and running ryans lagfix, one of the gps fixes and some other goodies like myself, his opinion, not worth it...wait for 2.2.
so i'm ignoring this update, any opinions?
Kies Mini Clockwork flashable
If anybody is interested, I have thrown together a Clockwork flashable JI6 update for personal use. There are 2 versions.
*Warning, proceed at your own risk as I cannot and will not be held responsible for your actions. Always perform a ClockWork ROM backup before flashing. The same rules apply regarding lag fixes as all other ROMs.
1st - This will wipe your data!!!
2nd - No format included (While this will not wipe your data, you will loose root and any installed mods... I recommend using the 1st dl if your coming from anything other than stock or leaked)

If this is a question regarding missing applications in the Market...
Quoting from this thread. The directions below worked for me running JI6. Just make sure to look for UVJI6 on both lines, rather than UVJI2. FYI, I changed them back after I downloaded and installed all of my apps in hopes of Google rectifying the issue (assuming it's on their end).
++++how to fix missing apps in the market++++
Missing market apps with new firmwares is always an issue because the market does not recognize the fingerprint. You need to be rooted and should open the file /system/build.prop in a text editor Scroll down till you come to the section titled # Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint. After this are two lines, on which the name of the firmware will be stated as T959UVJI2. Change the ast three letters in the name on both lines to JFD. Then save the file and reboot, and then go to market and download and install a couple of apps. After this the missing apps will show up again and won't go away until you install another unofficia firmware Last.
+++ Thank rajendra82 for this market fix, works great +++
Fandango movies . I have it on mine. I also used kies to update jI6 , successfully updated with no problems. I lost root but afterwards I rerooted.

Why is that download so damn slow?
Mediafire is a real good Hoster to download directly to my cellphone, but for now, it downloads only with 5kb/s . Just boring :S
I hope this Version works for me, until it's down in 6 Minutes^^

are u running 2.2+ android ?
honestly I'm running CM6.1 final with 2708 kernel/hack
I never tried installing manually and created the flashable update and it worked like a charm on CM6.1 Final 2708
It simply replace Vending.apk to the newest version and chmod 644 /system/app/Vending.apk also...
You do need a recovery that accept test-keys AKA rooted & unlocked BUT why aren't rooted yet ?
Thank you
This looks great. No problems I just flashed and it works great!
I got this to work by going into "Titanium Backup" and on the MARKET app, chose the wipe data button, then un-installed the old version of "Market".
Then I rebooted and ran the update.zip and it worked!
Hope this works for you!

I did even release a 2.3 sdk port to G1 since so much ppl were kindly asking for it
Nothing worth a mention IMO lol
I'm gonna give a few of my spare time to G1 dev <3 paste your adb logcat on pastebin so I can check
That would really help

ok it didnt work for me...im using mytouch 3g...it flashed but the market says loading then goes white...i didnt nand (noob move) but i know froyo will just reinstall all the apps but i dont feel like going through all that.
does anyone have a flashable version of the froyo market so i wont have to wipe? thanx in advance
I'm wondering how to flash this onto a phone o.o
I'm new to the flashing, rooting etc stuff ><
Edit : Continued searching and found out it has to do with recovery mode. Just cant figure out how to switch to recovery on galaxy 3
Did a nand backup, flashed the zip, rebooted, FC on Market before even launching, launched Market and a white screen. Restored from nand to get back up. Running OTA 2.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=811620)
Any ideas? Manual installation via ADB?
To save you the trouble of putting the adb method , you can refer to my post .
It does the same thing but manually and its working for sure (Eclairs and Froyo ) : )

Cheers !
I just got this OTA update for market. I just backed up my old market, then installed this from the SD like a regular app. I didn't have any problems or need special permissions. Maybe someone could try this if they're having problems with the flashable or adb.
Two threads?
Ok so someone else started a thread for this in the development section which I thought to be weird, just wanted you to know, here is the thread. Personally I would rather just have one, yours : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872526

did exactly what he did here, nd works like a charm
is this flashable to sd card? I have cyanogen 6.1.0 android 2.2(froyo). Its probably a dumb question. But I'm asking this because theres another thread which indicated on his post that he didn't make his flashable. And its similar to this except that one runs on adb. So I'm wondering if this is flashable?

same rom..same problem
even doing adb doesnt work
Okay. So i have my g1 rooted. With froyo 2.2 cyanogen 6.1 ROM. As you may know, it doesn't come with google apps. So market isn't available. I've been looking all over the web. Trying each and everyone's market.apk and market.zip . All doesn't work. I tried normal install from a file manager. Nothing. Tried adb process. Pushing it. Still not working. Tried android command, still not working. And finally, your file, which i flashed. Still didn't work. All of them I got the same. When I open market, I just get a white blank, then after 5 seconds, goes back to the desktop screen. Any ideas to help me? Would really appreciate it.
Or I was thinking of doing this. Reflash the stock android 1.6 with root and then try the market. If it works, use nandroid back up. And then flash cyanogen 6.0 froyo 2.2 and restore the backup that i made with the market. DO you think that will work?
succesfully installed on my g1 cynogenmod but the market get fc when i try to download

Just wanted to post, thank you. Running SS4.9 on a droid, was having problems getting this app to work until your post. Downloaded and renamed to update.zip and so far is working like a charm.
Thank you very much.
Hello, guys. This is my first post after lurking for a while, adding roms and getting all of the good stuff for my captivate. But i bumped across the new market. I didn't follow instructions completely and deleted the market. So how should I fix this? I don't want to reflash my phone, because this would take 6 days and I am going on vacation in a few days, and I don't think I will survive without my beloved phone.
Any help on how to download the market app would be much appreciated. I have the android market app v2.12 but it will not let me install through my computer...
Still have the *.apk for the new market? If not you can go to the Themes Forum and do a search there - someone had the *.apk file for the new market app. You can download it - put it on your SDCard and then run it through your file manager - should install and your back in business.
Will need to use the SEARCH feature to find it though as I don't have the link.
Allright, thanks. I hope this works because normally I could not install apps directly to my phone because of at&t but i will try this.
btw.. are you on a stock ROM (2.1) or have you flashed to a custom ROM? Also if your phone isn't rooted this method won't allow you to install the app.
Sorry forgot to mention it.
And uh.. it never takes me 6 days to flash - usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to flash back to stock, install the new ROM, and restore my applications/app data.
It WAS on android 2.2 but I'm not sure if it is anymore because i tried restoring it to factory settings. And I'm talking about sending it to samsung to reflash it, I don't know how to do it myself :/
Oh, and yes. It is rooted.
and the app from there is kind of messed up... Very glitchy (crashes a lot and lags like crazy) and doesn't show every app in searches, like z4root which is how i easily rooted my phone the first time.
So i really just want the old market back but it will just not let me.
Go into Menu -> Settings -> About Phone and look to where it says "Firmware Version". If it says 2.2 and your phone has been rooted it should work fine.
Otherwise... you would at least need to Root it if on 2.2.
And if your not on 2.2? I'm not sure if this will work as I know it was pulled from a 2.2 updated phone.
Ok.. Plan B
You should be able to find the old Market app inside the *.zip file of any ROM you have downloaded. Just make sure they are 2.2 Froyo ROMs
Open up the *.zip file and go into system/app and look for (I'm 99% sure) "MarketUpdater.apk"
Copy that file to your SDCard and install using your file manager - should overwrite everything and hopefully your good.
Also.. you could go to your Menu --> Settings --> Applications and probably uninstall the current Market app you have downloaded first - delete any cache/data under there first before uninstalling.
Hopefully that will throw back on the original market app and your all set.
The only problem with that is... It was this one click downloader thing... Odin3. So I don't know... It also won't let me reupdate it for some reason....
Hrm.. This is from the OTA JH7 zip I have lying around. Give this a try and see if it works.
If not you will need to re-flash back to stock.
Could you supply me with a good rom thats easy to download and has the market and ****, like android 2.2, because the odin crap doesn't work for me.
Hrm.. I'd say go here if you wish to install a custom ROM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=819105
Then a few options you have is Cognition, Auxura, or Assonance.
I've ran all of them and they are all great ROM's. I currently am running Assonance with the Gingerbread theme and it runs great.
Just make sure to do the reading first then download the ROM and you should be on your way.... just remember failure to follow the directions if on you and your warranty is already toast
Its already too late for my warrenty..... But I'll go ahead and try these. Thanks.
Actually. Something that would REALLY help would be helping me get into download mode. Every time i plug my phone into the computer in download mode it says usb device not recognized. How do i fix this? I've tried about every samsung drivers... None of them work... If i could get it into download mode i could get it working easily
I decided to root my Galaxy S I9000 the other day to delete some of the really annoying bloatware and free up some space.
Knowing my n00bie, idiotic self, I didn't back up any of the things I deleted and now my Android App Store no longer downloads anything.
After some research I came to the conclusion that the reason was because I deleted the "DownloadsProvider.apk" app. I've tried re-downloading the files off the internet but when I put it back into that same system files folder and change its permissions to match all the other apps, I find that my problem is still not solved.
I figured this may be due to an Android update around last year which gave a "Downloads" application at the devices application menu. But after replacing the file, this "Download" application is not there like it use to be (before I made changes) so I figured it may be an outdated version.
I also forgot if it had an ".odex" file previously along with the the ".apk" file and each time I try to get the files from random sources of the internet, the file size is always different.
Maybe someone could provide a full set of stock apps for this version of Android? Not sure if that's how to fix this but I really am struggling and need some serious expert help.
I'm on Android 2.3.6 and Baseband I9000XXJVU if that's helpful.
Thanks in advance.
I really need help, no one has replied. Great.
I think that your best bet would be to back up important data and restore to a stock rom. But I'd say wait till someone else confirms this before actually doing it
I'd be happy to do that but I can't find any source that offers a full set of up-to-date stock roms. Either that or they aren't compatible with Galaxy S/Android 2.3.6

An other option.could be a.custom ROM. Or try and actually install the download manager apk.

I've managed to get Android Download Manager.APK on my phone but the Android Market still crashes when I try to download something and the problem is not solved.
I've also tried clearing the data/cache of the Market and that hasn't helped either.
Maybe I could solve the problem by updating the firmware? I don't know, I'm out of ideas...
Updating or reinstalling will deffo fix this but.you will lose everything thats not backed up. Back important stuff up. Download stock rom that you want and install using Odin. Or try updating through KIES.
