sounds like something really screwed with your buildprop, or any other identification of the phone that the market needs. since you already tried to change the fingerprint in buildprop to no solution, i'd suggest to start completely over with JME v4 (= the roto suggested pit file, roto-JMEv4 FULL and repartition enabled). that should factory reset the phone and hopefully eradicate any screwed files.
here Market works like a charm as ever; running JME-v4 with CF-Root

didn't work. i re-downloaded both files
i dumped my system . any dev wants to take a look at it and see whats going on
http://www.mediafire.com/?biy21ctndrl8s23
This same thing was happening on my wifes tab the following steps made it work
-unbreak IMEI by restoring /efs backup
-delete vending.apk from /system/app
-fully reload software (chose roto_v4)
-sign in to market and allow it to update
-Rebroke IMEI
unfortunatly it only worked for about 20 minutes then back to the same problem. Testing now leaving the IMEI unbroken to see if that resolves
i think i found my problem i dont have anything in my efs folder. can someone provide me an efs folder with its contents. i did back up but forgot to take it to my desktop. when i reinstalled roto4 i wiped my internal sd

each efs folder is unique to the tab so i dont think using the folder from somebody else will work.

it doesnt hurt to try. i have no efs folder so what am i suppose to do? i did do a roto backup before the **** hit the fan. can i find my efs folder there?
all i can say is WOOOT WOOOOT!!!!!!!!!! thank god for roto backup. . i basically flashed all my dumps with heimdall. then it rebooted, but it was stuck on the samsung screen. i then put it back into download mode then flashed the tmobile stock firmware. i now have all my paid apps and no more whining about my device not being compatible with the market
My market started to do this today as well. What I did was go into manage applications and found market. I uninstalled updates and cleared data. It has been working like normal for a few hours now.

Hi boricua,
I had this same Issue since yesterday... unafortunately I didn't had the time to work on this until today. Since I don't found no body working with this I started it on my own.
And that's what worked for me: I deleted once again the /efs/ content and get the original files back on place. Then turned on WiFi and turned off Network connections. Then turned off the GT and reboot it and get connected via WiFi and Signed on Google Account via WiFi.... then turned On Networks and deleted the /efs/ contents.
This was just thinking and playing with some logics under the IMEI identification. So this is what worked for me. I didn't get back to stock or reflashed any ROM.
I hope this help you guys. I was monitoring it all day and still working!!!!!
WOOOOOT WOOOOOT!!!!!
im just glad that before i started messing with my tab. i did a rotobackup on my stock rooted jjb rom. lesson to all... rotobackup your tab !!

never did a rotobackup so i am SOL if anything happens to my tab, i dont even remember what FW my tab came with. i tried flashing the t-mobile stock FW that Roto set up but i kept getting a fail message when using ODIN but i am able to flash other FW, it seems that i have a bootloader, but at least my market is up and running again after re-flashing JME v4, dont know if that did it or the market was fixed. i will have to wait and see what happens.

are you hitting the repartition box when you flashing the stock firmware? flash without hitting the repartition box and see what happens.
if you don't do a roto back up then backup your efs folder at least
use this to check if you have a protected boot-loader. double click check and it willl do the rest for you.

So the other day i flashed the leaked version of froyo 2.2 to my captivate. Everything went fine and used it all day today. Well i wanted to recover my lost apps so i rooted it using the z4 root app. I tried to do a temp root first but the phone sat there for a while and didnt seem to be moving along with the process so i hit back and retried the permanent root option this time and just let it sit there. It got done with the rooting process and everything seemed to be fine. I opend titanium back up and tried to restore my previous back up from my rooted 2.1 phone. It wouldnt load the apps but i believe it loaded all the settings. It was saying they were 3rd party apps even though they came from the market. No big deal. I just lookked at the list and redownloaded the ones i wanted and restored the app settings individually. Got done with that and everything was working perfectly....until i shut the phone off and turned it back on. A messsage saying "android.phone stopped working...force close something or other" it would do that i hit close, the phone would vibrate a few times and it would pop back up. This made the phone unusable. But i decided id take the sim card out and turn it back on and everything is working fine. Im actually posting from the phone right now via wifi. Sorry to make this so long but i wanted to try and be as detailed as possible. Someone please help me out!

It sounds like you restored system settings from Titanium Backup. Don't do that. It will cause a whole gang of fc's (including the one you saw, android.phone has stopped unexpectedly). Only restore your apps and app data from titanium backup. When you restore system data from TiBu, you usually have to reflash the rom to stop things from fc'ing.

Are you experiencing issues with market? If so you can get your id back 2 ways. Back to stock, save it, flash rom, load saved, change.
If you have a nandroid of stock look in zip for I think dbdata file. Copy over to your pc. open text it with text editor. Search android_id. android it down. Change id using android id changer

I am not 100% sure this would fix but it may
I feel so stupid. Should have backed up before trying to do this, but...
I was trying to upgrade my TouchWiz30Launcher.apk but I gave up, unfortunately, i did rm Touch*.apk. I have no idea what the h311 I was thinking, but luckily I only lost the calculator and the calendar. I found the stock calculator apk and put it back. Works fine, but I am having trouble with the calendar. I was having trouble finding the right one and it foobared the app. It is no longer in the installed list and not executable anymore.
ANY help would be appreciated. Freaking out a bit as I like my calendar. Gahhh!

I flashed it as an OTA upgrade (well, using the Samsung crap). I don't have the original flash file.
I've tried to execute the .apk and it goes and looks like it is trying to install and then says (with a check mark mind you) Application not installed. How awesome is that.
Any other ideas?

I think if you flash the firmware via Odin without repartitioning, you'll get the Samsung apps reinstalled and user data not wiped

Well, I tried that. I found a file in what I think is a compatible firmware and pulled the TouchWizCalendar.apk on to my sdcard and copied it to the /system/app folder. Doesn't seem to work. It's like it's not there. I tried to rename the TouchWizCalendar.odex file to TouchWizCalendar.odex.bak too without success.
Is there something that I'm missing?
Perhaps someone with 2.3.3 and Titanium Backup could backup the app and send it to me? TB can restore an app that isn't on the system, right?

Oh I'm sorry, if only there was some way to find and download the stock firmware for the i9000 and i9000m, which is listed in a thread dedicated to stock firmware for the SGS.
hello,
i know creating a new thread isnt the nicest thing but my note isnt responding and im sweating badly
i have also posted this under the thread with the call recording mod but doing this here for faster response
i was running speedmod kernel k3-13 with stock 4.0.4
in the day to update by phone via ota reverted to stock kernel, still the update failed so reverted back to speedmod.
everything was working fine till then
sometime back thought of trying the call recording mod...
deleted the 2 files mentioned and then flashed the zip via recovery
after the reboot network gone, touch screen working intermittently and baseband version to unknown.
will flashing this rom via pc odin help? i dont have mobile odin
N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5---Download--- India
i might have also done some stupid thing that i dont remember but i guess above mentioned is all what i did.
please help
thanks and regards
sujai
Just replied to call recording thread
Again writing steps here wait
Get root explorer
Put device in flight mode
Extract recording zip file
You will find two folder appl and lib in system folder
Now copy files in lib folder to system/lib
And appl files to system/app
Change permission. To rw-r-r
Delete phone. Odex and phone utility. Odex. From system/app folder

thanks doc for the blazing fast reply but had taken out the battery and was waiting for reply
now the touch screen wont work, it just stays on the home screen...thats it
i cannot go any further, no option works
please note that the phone is showing baseband version as unknown (saw it when the screen was working earlier)
and
there is no network aswell.
thanks doc, hoping for a solution.
even if i have to loose all my data to restore phone to factory rom and kernel, im okay with it. but just want my note to come to life.
Restart device and just try pressing power button and if you get option to flight mode, it should work for further procedure as I have mentioned.
If you finish as I suggest then you will get everything working with record mod too.
If you are unable to handle then just put device in Download mode and reflash modem with pc Odin it should work, in last resort just reflashed rom otherwise, neither method will wipe your data.
Just need patience, don't be panic this is little issue.

dear doc and nokiamodeln91,
pressing the power button does take it to airplane mode but then the phone does not get recognized by computer when i connect it.
so i would want to flash stock ROM straight away and just need a clarification. Ill put the phone in download mode, connect it to pc odin.
and then click the phone tab or the PDA tab?
will flashing this ROM - (N7000DDLPA---4.0.3/12.06---N7000ODDLP5) get me back to stock ROM and kernel?
afterwards i can always update it via OTA to the latest ROM and then put speedmod k3-13 kernel back, right?
will do as you say and report back. any other thing i should keep in mind while doing this?
thanks a ton for the help
regards
sujai
If you put ROM file for Phone, then it should work too. It will just replace your Modem, which is corrupted right now.
If it doesn't work then use it for PDA, it will replace full ROM and that will work sure.

yes that happens to the apps moved to SD card.. restore them using TB or reinstall them
and as dr ketan mentioned.. on the new twhome launcher... the apps moved to SD card will not stay where to fixed in (folders etc)..
No need to restore with TB/Reinstall
Just go to setting - Application - Apl on SD
And appl which are on SD card will have option to move to phone, move from there and that will be sufficient.
yes doc did that yesterday and its all cool!! call recording and transparent weather widget also working great!! all thanks to you!!
are you trying to find out a way for apps to display icons even when they are moved to card?
No, I think it can be solved by new launcher only, hope next update we shall get it fixed

Hey guys. I messed up my phone. amature mistakes. I learned my lesson. I was trying to flash a jellybean rom plus the Devil R3 kernel over to a rooted Captivate using CWM. It flashed the Devil kernel over smoothly then when I went to intall the Jellybean rom zip it started to go smoothly then it rebooted in about 5 seconds into the installation and all that came up after 20 min of sitting was the Devil kernel screen. I can get to download mode. I could flash different kernels with odin but then I thought to myself my phone is basically bricked, so I tried that one click unbrick and it also messed up my drivers so now I can't use odin. It worked kind of but didn't change anything. Now I am stuck at the AT&T boot screen. I think the OS was deleted. I can't acesses the SD card. I was stupid and didnt create a CWM backup first. Now all I wanna do is simply go back to a basic 2.3.5 gingerbread and I am never gonna try anthing this dumb again. Please help guys this is my last hope.
edit:
I also wanted to clear up I used the corn kernel to install CWM it worked for the installation of the devil kernel but not the installation of Jellybean OS
Heh, deleting the os? I do it all the time, it means nothing. Have you used heimdall at all? That will mess up your drivers, so make sure you don't try to Odin using the same usb port you did with heimdall.

Go to that thread and then to the second post. Download an Odin one-click for gingerbread kk4 probably with bootloaders unless you've been on gingerbread previously in which case you can go without boot loaders. Using that will take you back to stock gingerbread. Then you can use Odin to flash your corn kernel or devil kernel, which ever one you want and continue on with your flashing fun.
Just an FYI based on your OP what happened during the rom flash is normal. A lot of the Jelly Bean roms out there use different partition layouts and different kernels. So when you start the flashing of the rom the first thing is does it install those two things. So a lot of times when it changes one or both of those it will cause a reboot about 5 seconds in and will get you stuck in a boot loop. Next time you end up stuck on a kernel screen just pull the battery and replace it. Then use the three button combo to boot back into recovery. From there you should be able to flash your rom again and it should work without problem.
Its okay to have the OS 'deleted'. First thing you need to do is go into recovery (red devil options screen). Then go to mounts and storage, connect your phone to different computer if possible and mount your internal SD. Open up a browser on your computer and download another ROM (cm10 is stable). Drag and drop that ROM.zip unto your internal SD and flash it from recovery. Peace amigos.
Its a great relief to have such a giving crowd out there
Thank you guys for all your help! I got a rom flashed over "Helly Bean" Now the only issue I am having is the IMEI is messed up. I don't have any clue what to do now. I have tried following other posts even a video and I'm stuck! Please help!
Once again guys thank you so much cause I'm a far stretch from where I was last night where it was a blank Kernel that wouldn't install a rom.

A few minutes ago I got service w/o changing anything I got a bunch of texts I tried to make a call and lost service. I rebooted and same problem as it has been. No service and it popped up with the IMEI problem.

Provided the imei issue happened during the helly bean flash you should have a backup on your internal SD card. Look on your internal SD for a folder labeled backup. If you have that look in there and hopefully you'll have a folder within it labeled efs.
If you have that try downloading an app called nitrality from the play store and use it to restore that copy of your efs folder.
Like I said IF it happened because of the helly bean flash that should fix your problem. If not I don't want to tell you what you'll probably have to do....

Ok I did some playing and actually went in and deleted my efs folder. I did this because I've personally never had the issue so I wanted to see what I could do to understand it better.
So like you Nitrality didn't do me any good so I apologize for pointing you in that direction.
What did work for me is I went in with a file explorer and simply copied all the files in the backup /efs folder directly into the root /efs folder where they should be. I then rebooted into recovery and fixed permissions. Then rebooted normal and all was good.
Now keep in mind that helly bean was the rom that made that backup for you. So if by some chance in your flashing process, a rom that you flashed prior to helly bean caused the issue then the efs backup you have could be corrupt as well. But for now we'll assume it is good and go from there.
Efs problems are best fixed by going back to stock.

I did the copy and paste with the recovery file manager. I then backed out and fixed permissions. rebooted. nothing has changed.

Then I'm afraid to tell you that the only other way I know to get your efs and imei corrected is to flash back to stock again as stated before...
