[Q] Droid market force close - cannot restore rom manager

Hi - have the original droid. Rooted. I tried installing a ROM (Cyanogen) then my phone didn't boot with the screen I was expecting.. just looked like the original factory reset. Market App now force closes every time I try to open and I cannot install any ROM for file managers to get out of this mess. I did a full wipe - same issue. No apps and cannot go into market to install any - Force close as soon as I open it.
When I try to install a custom ROM as update.zip I get the message that it is not signed. I have recovery 3e.
Build:FRG83D
Kernel version:2.6.32.9-g68eeef5
Original droid.
Help?
Thanks in advance!

Try the finding a place to download vending.apk or some such...I had to do this a while back

thanks for the quick response. I'm hoping that I'll be able to use that without a file manager on my phone... off to track down that file!

Still trying to get this APK loaded. Having difficulties with the SDK... can't figure out how to use ADB. Would take ANY solution that allows me to restore a functioning market. Anyone have a follow-able process for restoring my market, or flashing with an entirely new ROM to restore functionality?

Alright. Commenting on my own post again but this is how I got up and running again:
Friend gmailed me the rom manager APK file which installed right from my gmail client (nice).
Then I ran ROM manager flashing the recovery and downloaded sapphire 2.0.
All installed and ready to go!

Multiple part question. Rooting and rom flashing

There are a few problems i'm having. Have done multiple roots (z4, super one click) and have super user access but doesn't show any where. If that matters our could be the reason to my problem. I have rom manager and multiple roms but everytime I try to install them I get some error message saying the certificates could not be verified. Does any one have a suggestion about what is wrong?

What rom are you on? Sounds like you don't have root. If super user is not there then that is your problem. The root didn't take, you need super user

BACKUP
1.Flash stock
2. Master Clear
3. Grab a CW mod recovery update zip from on of the threads.
4.Copy said zip and rom zip to phone
5. Follow directions to flash rom. Lots of FAQ on how to do it

What do you mean by flash stock?

I've done it the way this website, theunlockr.com and numerous youtube videos have said to do out. I keep getting the ertor (E: failed tp verify whole-file sinature. Followed by E: signature verification failed installation aborted)

This is how you "flash back to stock": http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ
Instructions can be found on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364
It's crucial you read most of it, and then ask if you don't understand any of the steps there.

Have you tried to download the app more than once? It can take up to 8-10 times for certain app to download..
Also, are you trying to install them on your external? If so, move your downloads to internal.
EDIT: Here comes the stupid question.. Do you have a gmail account?? and if so, is it setted up on your phone.

Yes I do have a gmail account and yes I'm installing to internal. im not that much of a newbie

RE: HELP!
also ive tried install apps from market and from external in all kinds roms. it never works
PS: love your signature i have tried that rom and i LOVE it but i cant use it because of this issue. :'(

What about your android id

?
? is that my email?
if it is my email is @gmail.com not google mail

No, and I can not say for certain this is your issue but every device had a id that can be changed from time to time when flashing roms.
You said you cleared market cache and data in manage applications?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

yea i cleard data and cache many times in lots of roms. Cleared Market, google talk, download manager, google framework service....

What rom are you on
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

right now im on stock 2.1 cause that the only rom i can install apps on but i was on firefly 2.4, then tried continuum 4, and apex and andromeda

Download an app from the market called android id changer.
Open app
Click save id
make sure you back up app using titanium
Next time you flash open app
Click load id
Click change
Phone will reboot
No guarantee this works but it is worth a shot
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

thanks i installed id changer and saved id and im backin up in TiBu now....

I am not sure what you mean
If you are asking can you restore the app on 2.2, yes
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App

no i mean can i back up my stock rom and data using clockworkmod backup, so that i can restore it later if this doesn't work

You can do a backup through clockwork, this will back everything up, buy you would still need to flash sick first then restore backup in order to get it back. You can not respite the 2.1 backup directly onto 2.2

thanks ill try that now

ugh these roms take so long to download!

Can not help you there

i cant get to clockworkmod i installed it with rom manager and gave rom manger root privs and i press reboot to recovery and it just goes to stock recovery. and when i press install update it says signature not verified!

Stock MMS APP

I backed up and then deleted the stock Android mms apk after installing chomp. I now can send but not receive any text messages. I have tried to restore with titanium but it just hangs during the restore. Anyone have any suggestions? I have also tried pulling the app from a downloaded ROM but it won't install.

Reflash the current ROM your on

Yeah I was hoping to find a way other than starting from scratch again. Trying to remember if I can push the app using adb. I'm too tired for this right now.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

As long as you don't wipe it won't make you start from scratch if you flash the rom again..it'll just replace with stock kernel and bring back all the previous apps but you won't start from scratch .have you tried installing it with something like root explorer or root browser if you're not familiar with adb

[Q] Super One Click

I have rooted my captivate with super one click then i clicked "allow non market apps" and it runs but it does not change anything on my phone and i can not install non market apps. My phone is on 2.1.

Damn dude, that version of Android is ancient. Just update it to kb2 (the last official 2.2) or kk4 the official 2.3 update. Both allow this option in settings without the need to even root. Not to mention the performance boost you'll get from a newer version of Android.

I know its old but its stock so I thought I would flash it to cm7. But I need to install a few non market apps. Any help?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

What? Why do you need a any apps BEFORE you flash to cm7? Those will be erased when you flash a rom. So You're just spinning your wheels

I want to get rom manager free. I can only get the paid version in market. I bought the paid version and wants me to install the free version.
Sent from my LGL55C using xda premium

no need for rom manager at all that app really isnt very useful on galaxy devices, when it installs cwm all it does is download the attached update.zip and flashes it. everything else such as backing up and such can be done from within recovery itself.
grab this zip put it on the root of the sdcard and boot into recovery, go to reinstall packages twice and that will boot you into cwm. wherein you can flash cm7

Just update....
Download kies: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I897ZKAATT
will update you to kk4 2.3.5
then flash a custom kernel with odin... Then you can install cm7 or 9 or anything else you want

So I guess I wasted $6 buying the app.

You probably only bought the paid version license key...which still requires the core program(free). A lot of apps are like that such as Titanium Backup.

Studacris I did what u told me but I get this error
"E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip

Is it in the main directory of /sdcard? Don't put it in any folders.

Yes. Gotta be internal.
