[Q] Market Problems? Where's the apps? - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just barely, my market stopped showing... apps, I see like really crap things, but yeah basically nothing. I am running Phoenix 4.1, and haven't had any problems until today, i haven't changed anything... so you know i need a fix,

Mines not working either,

Yeah, not good. I am trying to FBTS and MC.

Same BS that has happened to me three times in last few months and second time in one week! I am so sick of this. Report here:

Already did that. Does not work. Even in stock, you will see you are in a test sandbox for the market. I have been here three times already. The only fix is to report it in the link and wait. Google is really starting to piss me off with this issue.

Yeah and now it sucks because i can't get ROM manager to get clockwork to flash a ROM. Plus i can't download the apk cause my phone can't download unknown sources

yeah tried everything in that thread, and nothing. wasted like 3-4 hours

I just restored my backup, and everything is working as it was.

hmm, yeah im freakin out. it won't work, i've tried everything and its just retarded

You don't need rom manager to flash clockwork. Second or third post if phoenix has an update.zip. That will get you clockwork recovery

There have been several cwm update.zip files posted. Just search and find one of them to bypass needing rom manager

yeah i got that all figured out, its just now my IMEI number won't freaking change...its at 004999010640000, i have the one that is the right one backed up but, it wont take. if used root explorer, tried the thread on the phoenix rom to back up and restore nv_data.bin and imei, but no luck. I "believe" if i get the IMEI changed the Market will start working. Now if i could have any suggestion that would be fantastic. I've spent all night with no luck. I think the IMEI is half stored on the NV_data.bin, which i don't know how to edit.
Thanks in advanced

Happend to me about a week ago and its happing again but it does fix itself just give it time thats all i did... did all that flashing crap back and forth last time didn't work just had to wait it out about 24-36 hours... sorry....

I went through this same hell today. Spent about two hours trying to find a fix, and then realized I had some backups in the efs folder that went by the name of ".nv_data.bak".
I backed up the efs folder using ADB, then deleted all the nv* stuff in there except for that one backup, and renamed it to nv_data.bin. I restarted my phone and my IMEI was back to normal (and after a cache deletion from Download Manager, Google Services Provider, and Market, Market worked fine again).
I don't even know why my IMEI was screwed up in the first place.
If you email me your nv_data.bin I can at the very least look at it and see if I can find any glaring problems with it. Send me a PM and I'll send you my email if you'd like.

Yeah i need serious help with this... I tried almost everything. I did this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8983897&postcount=103 and it shows its pushing the right IMEI number that starts with a 3. but instead i rebot and its the same 0444 number
also to ensure i did it somewhat right, i pulled the .imei and opened it up in wordpad and it is the right number, so it means something is wrong with my nv_data.bin

I'm just glad it worked as it was more of an educated guess than a sure fix

I can't download any apps at all or update them. Its really pissing me off. I click update and nothing happens. I click download and nothing happens. What is the remedy? If any. I'm running Andromeda 1.0 with firebird 2 v.5

Tried putting this into backup on the mem card in clockwork but when I try to get it to install I get a message:
MD5 mismatch!
what am I doing wrong???.
I'm not sure, i actually got this from someone else. It works fine on my wildfire, and it was'nt even created on mine either.
Here is the original link i got from the guy who gave me the backup, try this.

All I did was mount my sd and dragged and dropped it in to backup in clockwork folder (unzipped so that it was the same as my puzzle backup).
I then rebooted my phone into recovery and tried to do the backup through nan. Is that the way I should have done it? or did I need to do a flash first?
Thats how i did it myself, just go into recovery and restore it using nandroid options. I did do a wipe first though,to clear any crap from the previous rom.
Try the new link, hopefully that will work, i will dump it on my card again and try it myself too.
I have just updated the link in the first post with a backup that worked fine, i have tried it myself 5 mins ago.

Thanks very much for posting this. I decided to try wildpuzzle but i didnt think it was worth losing the 3 apps but I hadn't backed up my original rom so this was perfect. This worked very well for me.

Worked perfect for me too with a different SD card. Would not work with the card that had partition on.
Suits me though as I have one SD card with '3' rom on and one with Puzzle+partition on.
Best of both worlds!!!!.
Thanks very much for posting this.
No problem guys, at least it was useful posting it.

hey dude, this link seems inavailable cuz the limit of 10 downloads reached.
could someone reupload that? thx
Sorry i will sort it out.
EDIT- try it now
This might have just helped me solve the biggest problem i have faced in a while!!
Thanks to the OP.
I too, when i partitioned the SD, lost the original backup of the 3 ROM. Thing is, it's my mothers Wildfire!! She was missold it, and now has to return it and wait till next week to receive another.
Anyways, tried everything from RUU (Error 140 Bootloader); tired the %temp% rom.zip to get PC49DIAG.zip, fails to install.
Tried so many different WWE RUU (get Error 131 Invalid Client ID)
Yes, before you ask, i made a goldcard, doesnt do anything here (it works, as it works for other HTC devices i have rooted - Magic )
Anyways, i was going to just flash the most stock ROM i could find (probably MCR) and just tell her to say NOTHING, if the issue of branding arises, to just say that it came like that. Must of slipped thru the net!!
Hopefully this will work!
Thanks again.
UPDATE:
Links do NOT work, can somebody who got this files, please reupload.
I need to try this so i can restore a Wildfire back to 3 branded.
Thanks in advance (if anyone obliges)

I had it on my computer but there's no guarantee that the MD5 thing will work. That seems to break if you move it around too much.
I will get it later, but it appears after sucessfully getting the 3uk RUU from shipped-roms to work (with a downgrade.zip & region.txt), after full reboot, the touch panel has now failed.
If i goto hboot, it simply says TOUCH PANEL-FAIL.
I cannot access the phone at all. The RUU seems to of worked as the 3 logos appears etc, but cant slide the lock screen down to go through the setup.
No problem; its a case of.....'I did a factory reset via phone settings, it rebooted, and this'. Phone going back to 3 store, a new one is coming next week.
3 Store decided to issue new contract, when my Mum went in for an upgrade. They didnt tell her, she ended up phoning 3 as she kept getting SMS saying her balance was going up daily! 3 (on the phone) gave her better deal and said the 3 store do this all the time.
So, ultimately....i won by getting RUU to work, but the phone lost and decided to fail the touch panel to get back at me.
It doesnt even get recognised anymore on the PC, i was going to try a different RUU to see if it was the RUU that casued the fail (which i SERIOUSLY doubt).
Thanks anyways. Not had much joy with this Wildfire....Rooting etc was easy.
need help!
Hi, I've rooted my htc wildfire and after that I got to know that I can't update my phone from htc anymore. I was looking for the ruu file then I found ur post and it is the exact match for my phone. but the link is not working at all..... . could you please upload the file again so I would be able to download it for my phone. will be greatfull....
thanks in advance.

go back to stock 2.1 update the app from there, then backup the .apk (astro file explorer has a tool that allows you to do this) then install it in the other builds

Yeah, it's something like that in system/app
sprint_core.apk in /system/app there may be an odex. i always rm NameOfApp.*
if you delete the apk it may cause problems(maybe. didnt for me but has for others). you also wont be notified of vm's. youll have to call to check. on a 2.1 rom, that is. thats how it worked for me anyway.
personally, my vm isnt working on my new device. like it never set itself up correctly. if anyone should happen to have a link to some instructions to set this up, that would be fantastic. I hate calling the silly people at sprint. thank you

it didnt work. i removed the original, flashed yours. still have the undelivered message, the activation message. nothing is working, i cant figure it out. and when i called sprint, they reset my vm, so i lost messages and had to set up everything again...
FYI to Impaler, your VVM version in your sig works for those in areas where an official update has not rolled through yet.
Don't know if you are aware, but Sprint recently updated the VVM software to version T.5.1.0.48 (here in TX it was updated the last week of October). Note that Sprint CSR will not be able to help you reset it unless you are on a Sense ROM. Period.
Two options to fix on your non-Sense ROM... there is an updated .apk floating around on these boards (might need to PM someone for it). Get it and install via your file manager.
Or...
Other way is to nandroid your current ROM, then flash a Sense ROM like Fresh's most current. Then, update your PRL and Profile, then go into the VVM and press Menu and update Sprint VVM.
Then, either try to nandroid back to your original ROM and check to see if that does it (haven't tried that, but it might work)... or else... yes, you will need to pull the updated com.coremobility.app.vnotes from the Sense ROM and install the pulled .apk into your new ROM.
Hope this helps.
mr. implaler, I have used yours for the last weeks successfully, so thank you. I just ran into the same problem with the mandatory upgrade, and it is an update i did before I rooted my phone. the VM did work this morning on MUIU but i loaded MYN and that is when my issue started.
Hope someone can firgure it out

I had 9016 in the blocked texts list. Hope this helps you.
Excellent...let me add to this...
I suppose using variations of ROMS that don't include VVM and block 9016 caused this issue.
You can unblock 9016 by going to your account online, under "My Devices," then "My Preferences." Scroll down to the "Limits and permissions" section. You will see the "Block Texts" link there.

[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?

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?

HELP! Messed with QPST and now I don't have service!

I know, "At your own risk" means this could happen.
For the past week I've been trying to get data on my Hero that's already flashed to MetroPCS (just talk and text). And most of the methods I've found on the internets require some QPST work. I'm somewhat tech savvy, but I never thought I could actually lose the basic service I already had.
Any help?
I used this method before everything went to crap.

For the past week I've been trying to get data on my Hero that's already flashed to MetroPCS (just talk and text). And most of the methods I've found on the internets require some QPST work. I'm somewhat tech savvy, but I never thought I could actually lose the basic service I already had.
Any help?
I used this method before everything went to crap.

Just a Suggestion But...
IF you Made a Nandroid Backup, Try Restoring your Phone Back to a Earlier Working State!

Yeah....I didn't do any backups. Horrible mistake.

Hey did you Fix your Phone??
If Not.... I was just Thinking that your easiest Fix would be to just Flash a New ROM!!
**Assuming your Rooted**
Either that or just find a ROM for Metro Pcs... Unzip it, then go to System/Apps and Copy the Two apk. Files you need to your SDCard, and use a File Manager with Root Capabilities and Push them back to System/Apps, Install and Reboot!
If you need Any extra Help, PM me and I'll walk you through it!!

[Q] Twingerbread Camera Issue

I would post this in the Android Development, but cannot since i have not posted much.
Aaaaanyway, seen an issue that other are having with the rom that I would like to fix if I can. Camera will not go into video recording as it FC's every time. Same with if you try barcode scanner and the likes.
So far I have reflashed, deleted email.apk, camera.apk, camerafirmware.apk, tried hacked camera.apk, stock.apk, blah blah.
Wondering if someone found a different cause and or solution.
Was using Serendipity but not sure I ever noticed if it was aproblem since I barely use these functions these days.
Was fine when it was stock (way back when).

Since you have deleted Email.apk you are having this problem. Advice you to not delete apps that are needed for the ROM to function properly
Sorry..
Misunderstood.
I noticed that in your thread to give it a try, that it worked for some people so I did, not that it happened after I did.
Wow that sentence looks retarded.
Lets try it again. Had the camera and barcode issues THEN tried the above.

Ok let me take a step back. Do you mean that just after a fresh install you are facing this problem? I mean you havent restored apps+data using Tibu etc?
Edit: people who had problem either deleted Email.apk or CameraFirmware.apk and thats what my first impression was
Oops, misunderstood that post on the email delete.
Anyway, I have reflashed with no luck to the fix.

I am running the same version 3.3 right now a fresh flash and just recorded a video.. Let me know if you used Tibu to restore apps+data.. thats my next guess
Yes
Correct. Issue still after re-flash, no TiBu yet.
On a seperate note, I really like the rom. Looking forward to the possible blue theme. Came from Serendipity which I liked as well.
Don't necessarily need these functions (I barely use them), I just like to have things fixed.
Ok now one last thing that i can try would be to request you to download the ROM package again.. ODIN back to JF6 for a fresh install.. Flash the fresh downloaded package and see what happens.. you may have a bad download is my last guess
Will do
I will try another re-flash.
What do you thing Tibu is messing with (if that is it)?
it might just affect if by mistake any system app or data is included in the list which can cause camera to FC
EDIT: PM me if you cannot stil get camera to work. Would be happy to help
Still reflashing. I will let you know how it goes.
Again great work on the ROM. I am just being a perfectionist on something I barely use.
That did the trick. Maybe bad download.
I will also have to be more selective on what I let TiBu restore.
Thanks and keep up the good work. Again looking forward to Bluebread.
Alright now keep enjoying 3.3 till you see a 4.0 coming your way, and a blue theme too
twingerbread + sgh-i897 + VIDEO camera = fail

I have re-installed this ROM twice on my captivate sgh-i897 ... the video-camera does NOT work. period. moved on to continuum's rom, because ... the video camera works, for one.
Twingerbread is a nice rom, but has anyone thought about flashing to Apex (i think 5.2 is the latest). Unless i am wrong, it replaced Twingerbread.
If I am wrong, PLEASE don't start calling me an idiot. I do sometimes get facts mixed up.

you mean you installed ApeX 5.2 and without restoring your apps + data with TiBU camera wasnt working for you? I have heard this problem before and everytime it was restoring apps+data using TiBU that was causing issue.. or let me know if you have deleted email.apk?
Does the same thing happen if another backup app is used? I've used My Backup Root since I started flashing, and I've never experienced anything look that(and I ran Apex 5.1 for about a week before going to Continuum v4).
