Hi,
I was having problems seeing apps on the market, so tried this -

Now when trying to launch the market the app dies just as it starts. I have tried clear cache & data and force stop service framework in nook color tools. Have also tried to clear cache in recovery, all without luck.
Any help appreciated
Cheers,
Thanks for the posting! This didn't work for me. I couldn't clear the cache, etc. And, when I tried the market after the steps had the same problem - Screen went to 'thinking', then went back home. So, I adapted your process a little. I renamed the old 2008 dated vending.apk to vending.apkold. Then I reinstalled 4.5.25. It then added the new 2011 vending.apk file. Works fine now.
My market hasn't been working for at least a month now, and I tried a whole bunch of things before finally found this.
Thanks!

Use any option it gives you to uninstall the app, then reinstall it.
Similar issue.
I am having a similar issue.
I installed Toggle Settings (Donut) on my G1 (CM 4.2.5 I'm not using apps2SD) and then decided to uninstall it. Now when I go to the market and my downloads it shows that I have Toggle settings installed. The problem is that I don't and it gives me no options to do anything (open and uninstall are grayed out). Other apps install and uninstall normally with the market updating their status correctly. I don't know what to do to correct this. If you know how to remedy this, please help me.
I apologize if this is an inappropriate place to post this but I serched and this was the closest topic to my problem that I found.
Try finding it in the app-private folder or if its in any of yours apps as a .zip file. If so, back it up and delete it from the phone. see if that resolves the issue. if not try deleting the market cache

Thanks for replying... It's not in any of my other apps and I've tried deleting the market cache (and deleting the market cache and power cycling the phone) and that isn't working. Where is (or should be) the app-private folder? I'm not finding that folder.
I'm starting to feel like my only hope is an update being put out for the app and then hopefully I can download that and go from there.

app-private should be in the same folder as app
Had a similar problem
I wiped my phone and did a frech Cyan 4.2.5 install to help clear a problem with Gmail. I used backup for root users to get all my apps back, but it left a couple out - leaving me in the same situation you guys are in - can't install/uninstall from the market as the buttons are greyed out, but it's not actually on your phone.
i eventually stumbled over a solution of sorts when i reverted back to a themeless 4.2.5 - for me flashing the update again sorted out my market data and allowed me to install the missing apps again. either that, or go into a nandroided backup, extract the apks and manually push them to your current setup - buttons are magically no longer greyed out.
Thanks guys.
Thanks for your guys assistance.
I found another solution that worked. I had one of my coworkers download Astro File browser and then the Toggle settings app. I just backed up his toggle settings with the built in apps manager in Astro and then put his memory card in my phone and restored toggle settings with Astro. Then I went to the market and uninstalled toggle settings through the market and bingo no more ghost of Toggle settings problem. Thanks again for your assistance.
I flashed on Paul's FroYo the other day and decided I didn't want the headache of app instability until later. But now after nandroid restoring my 5.0.6 backup, I can no longer download anything from the market. I read posts where people said to clear data from apps such as download manager, google apps, etc but when i go to my manage applications in settings I cannot see these apps, my guess is theyre hidden in CM. Any suggestions?
have you gone to settings (when in manage applications) and changed the filter to all apps?
I've got the same issue.
Decided to wipe, install Cyan 5.0.6 then revert to my 5.0.6. Nandroid.
Everything is fine until I try to download TI Backup from the market.
Anything I try and download just hangs at 'downloading'....
I've wiped caches, cleared data, replaced my XML file....etc
Grrrrrrr, why does nothing work properly.
i went back to 5.0.6 to do what you said, every time ive gone back with my nandroid back up its been fine, but this time the market app is corrupt for some reason. the vending.apk is in /system/app but the market icon isnt in the launcher and the shortcut on my home screen says app not installed when i use it. doing a factory reset works but i want that to be a last resort as i would like to preserve my settings/messages. ive tried replacing the vending.apk with different ones but it still won't install. any ideas?
I followed the steps here and it fixed the issue for me. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6575904
have a g1 running 1.6 dmd64
So I rooted my new g1 through androot method, tried to do some stuff to get a rom, but it said I wasnt fully rooted.. and this is over a month or so time so there were reboots throughout the process, so I tried installing busybox, it said I didnt have enough space in my /system/ folder.. so I read online that its okay to delete some files in /system/apps so I delted the files com.amazon.mp3.apk, im.apk,
improvider -1.apk, gtalkservice.apk, im.odex, improvider.apk, and talk.apk
so installing apps from the market worked for a while. then I rebooted yesterday and whenever I tried to download it got stuck at starting download. at that time google talk and im werent showing up under my apps list. so I tried putting those files back in the system/apps folder, reboot, stilll doesnt work. now I do a wipe of the phone through recovery mode and i'm still have the same problem.. except I have all the default google apps except those that I uninstalled, cant download any others, and cant get any off my sd card because I need a file manager from the market in order to do that.
so is there any way to fix this or am I screwed..? please help!

GtalkService is an iffy one. If you delete GTalkService and GTalk, downloads WILL get stuck at Starting Download. You're gonna have to find this APK again, probably within a GAPPS package, and re-install it to get downloads to work again.
thanks. I just flashed back to 1.6 that I found online
My market was working fine (You know what they say... if it ain't broke, don't fix it... I really should have listened) before I tried to add the new Vending.apk
The steps I took were copying the new market to my SD and backing up the old to my SD.
I deleted the old one on /system/app (all using Root Explorer)
Moved the new one to System, renamed it. Changed permissions and rebooted.
On boot, no Market.
Went to restore the old one, rebooted, no market.
Now I try to install the new one in the system/app with the .apk, and it simply says Application not installed.
Any chance I can get the old .apk just in case mine is faulty, or any advice?
Thanks fellas!
Did you try clearing the data for the Market app thru Titanium Backup first?

How is this done?
This isn't the Q&A section or general section.
Apply your question(s) in the proper sub-forum, cause you picked the wrong one.
Posting in the wrong forum might result in a temporary vacation
Should have thought about clearing Data before I tried anything. But now it's a little too late as I don't have the option to clear out the data. It just won't respond to the key press.
I downloaded the Vending.apk app from the original thread trying to get the market to work on the nook, and it is simply telling me that the Application could not install, again.
I really don't want to have to reset/reroot again, as I have had to do it for 6 units already and I just want to play on my new toy!
Any suggestions?

Yep, same here
Hi,
I'm starting playing with my Nook and have some problem with Market. Each time i try downloading an application it says "Download unsessfull".
I had some problems yesterday trying to use the CWR to make backup, so it can be related..
I don't know what can be related to this so i try to remember all things i done:
- A Nook, unboxed then updated to 1.1
- Rooted using Autonooter 3.0
- At this point Market was working, ie: i downloaded go launcher ex.
- I installed Rom manager and apply cwr (choosed Nook (new), i think it was the mistake)
- rebooted to recovery, i wanted to save the system before trying to apply kernel patch (OC and better touch responsiveness)
- failed to backup the system (it say's can't mount /system)
- So i tried to reboot, it reboot back to recovery each time.
- Panic mode (i'm not linux, recovery or other underground android fluent
- I think a tried the wrong buttons : clear dalvik, i think i clicked "wipe cache partition". Don't think i tried other button, not sure..
- Light back to brain and started searching real solutions
- Wana try the 8 fail solutions, but failed to do that (i don't want to lose against nook
- I installed zip from card: clorkwork-removal
- Nook back to laucher
- At this point i installed some app from elsewhere than Market, i played a little with spare parts i think. When a tried to install from market it didn't work.
- Try to clear market app cache, doesn't change anything.
Sorry if it was a long read, but i think that maximum informations can help you to help me
Oh, Youtube don't lauch anymore too (but that was before the cwr misadventure)
Thank you,
David
ps: sorry about my english
Try using titanium backup to clear data for google framework and market. Also make sure your wireless isn't blocking any traffic. This happens to me on my work network sometimes.
if i don't have titanium (no market at all..) the clear data from google framework is similar to that (found in another thread)?
settings->applications->manage->all
finf google services framework and clear the data then force quit

i give it a try.
is it the "google apps" one in applications list?
So it is not the google apps.. i try to update the market to 2.2.6. Search works but download doesnt start at all..
anybody has can hint me about this google framework..
Double post..
I was in the same situation- I also have an NC, 1.1.0, autonootered 3.0.0 and I installed ROM Manager (v3.0.1.0) from the market and used it to install CWM 3.0.0.6 by choosing "Nook Color" rather than "Nook Color (old)" at Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. I then did the reboot before rebooting into recovery and then wiped the cache and tried to wipe the Davlik cache, but every time I chose that it just went back to the same menu without doing anything. I then flashed Dalingrin's OC kernel and it seemed to work fine- SetCPU allowed me to OC up to 1100. BUT I lost access to the Market- everything I tried to install came back "Download Unsuccessful".
I finally, after much reading, removing CWM and reinstalling it 2 or 3 times etc. tried choosing "Nook Color (old)". This installed CWM 3.0.0.5 which DID let me wipe the Davlik cache and then when I installed the OC kernel it worked and I could download from the Market again.
So I would get yourself back to just a rooted nook (using clockwork removal if necessary). Then use ROM Manager to flash the ClockworkMod Recovery, but make sure to choose "Nook Color (old)". Then make sure to reboot (power off and back on you NC) and go to ROM Manager and reboot into recovery. Once there wipe the cache then go to "Advanced" and wipe the Davlik cache (I think this is the crucial part). After this I went ahead and flashed the OC kernel, but you could just reboot and hopefully you'll have access to the Market again like I did.
Good luck!

This method does still does not allow access to all the apps, only more.
Is there a chance that the google framework is missing?
I can see this framework on my phone, not on my nook.. What can i do please?
first thing tonight: i will check if GoogleServicesFramework.apk exists in system/app
Back, tonight was movie night with my girlfirend.. So i didn't played with my nook..
This morning i used rootexplorer to check if there was a GoogleServicesFramework.apk in system/app. It was not.
I tried to disable More locale app (it used to translate the devices texts in french) hope that "google framework" was baddly translated in app list..
Can someone confirm that the "google framework" i'm looking is the "GoogleServicesFramework.apk", and where is it on the nook? If missing, can i just put it with root explorer? Can the "clockwork removal" have beeing a cause on it's vanish?
Next time i have time i will try the Crispian Solution too..
Look for googleframework services in titanium backup. Select it and a little window pops up with options to uninstall and such. There is a button on the right that says wipe data. You can do the same for the Market.
As i said, googleframework service is not in titanium backup list..
I will try the CWR method asap.
grmph, tried to wipe dalvik and partition cache using working recovery.
Didn't work ..
i mean market does not work better..
Gtalk isn't working anymore too..
What if the framework service isnt listed in Manage Applications (all). This is on a rooted nook running stock 1.1.
are you telling that's normal on stock rooted nook 1.1

that's not what I am saying. I am saying I cannot install from the market and I don't even see the google framework listed under manage applications with the all filter selected
oh sorry, so you have the same problem ..
As i live in france i don't care about B&N app and shops i consider upgradding to froyo on emmc.. It will resolve my problem i think?
Possible solution
Same issue here. Color Nook v.1.1 rooted with Autonooter 3.0.0.
Market was working fine, then stopped. Returned to stock, then rerooted. Market worked for 10 apps, then stopped again. Clearing all cache did not fix. No sign of Google Services Framework in app list.
However, I found Download Manager and DownloadAdmin in the apps list and cleared the data for those (cache had already been cleared -- I used Gemini App Mgr for one-button clear-all-cache). Market is now working again.
