Turned out that the lovely chinese governement somehow got to Android
Anyhow, thanks to Marcus, we have the solution, tested & confirmed working by myself.
Please follow the instructions at that link :
hiapk.com/bbs/thread-278678-1-1.html
Then you'll be happy. If you need more detailed informations, let me know.
I haven't been trying to understand the changes I made. If you somehow feel that it's a problem for you, then leave the phone as is. Also, I guess this will be usable only for rooted phones.
Have fun! And once again, thanks to Marcus.

[original post, FYI]
Hey all,
Starting yesterday, I am having this error with the market.
Any app I try to get will give me that error : download was unsuccessful, please try again blah~
Weird thing is that it really happened out of the blue, because it was working fine until yest noon. I am on CM 5.0.7.1-N1, with the radio that came with Froyo. Issue exists with Wi-Fi and 3G.
I tried : reboot (multiple times), newer CM, Nandroid restore to a point when it was working, deleted/recreated APN.
I m too lazzy to try and downgrade the radio, and haven't tried to install Froyo.
Strange thing is : gmail app won't connect, but the email app will work (well, I knew that it isn't an internet access related issue, but still...). If I try and install a ROM from scratch, the initial Google login will fail again and again.
Actually, I have one suspicion. I am in Beijing, on China Unicom. I know that China hasn t been kind on Google lately. Any other user in China experiencing this same issue? Or does this just happen sometimes?
Thanks!
I am in GuangDong, and for the past 2 days similar things just happened to me.
I didn't use the GMail app but now you mentioned it, I tried it and it didn't work. It is stuck with "No connection (Retry)" screen
Using Email and setup a GMail account works fine with me as well.
Hopefully, this is not one of the other 'stunt' of the Great China Firewall.
Argh...
I do believe that we may be f***ed, at least temporarily...
Let s see where it goes, but if you do experience the same troubles, then it might a nation-wide thingy.
Are you on China Unicom, too?
Only time will tell.... But let's hope we won't have to give up on Android in China.
Any other Android friends in China having troubles? I ll update the title of the tread, see if we can catch more people's eyes.
Re: [In China only ?] Market : suddenly, "Download was unsuccessful..."
I'm in Shanghai and can only access market apps and gmail syncing with my vpn.

Hey, good catch!
Will give it a shot, then report back here how it went.

***EDIT
Gmail and the Market work on my US simcard roaming on China Unicom.
I'm in Guangdong; i've also had the same issues with Gmail and the Market at the same time. Both don't work on the network (Unicom) or WiFI connections; I'll have to give that fix a try later, thanks.
Hello!
Can somebody translate the procedure into English?
Thanks!
The procedure is to edit your host file with the information shown.
I m happy to share this, so here is the easy way to do:
1-get the file rootexplorer, which is attached here, if you don't have it.
2- install it, of course If you do not have a file explorer to get to it, then push the file.
3- open it, then find the folder /etc, open it
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
5- find the file called "hosts", and long press it. scroll all the way down to "Open in Text Editor"
6- there is already a line of stuff in there, so just skip a line and type :
209.85.135.100 clients2.google.com1
209.85.135.101 android.l.google.com
209.85.135.100 android.clients.google.com
underneath. I guess the spacing does not really matter, but they have to be each on a different line, as shown here. Also, it is a pain in the ass to type, so make sure there is no typo at first try
7- in options, save&exit (it creates a backup by itself)
8- reboot (not sure if that s necessary)
9- it works
there you go.
Does this fix works with a phone not rooted?

Hi, I am guessing that no, it won't, since you need to access root files. I m not sure but seems to make sense to me.
Sorry! Also, this is what is preventing me to go straight away to Samsung i9000, since it isn't rooted yet...
I didn't root my Legend yet and if i do so and the fix doesn't work, I will be stuck with the phone with no app on it.
At least now I have all my apps and only Gmail and the Market don't work.
Any idea from where this issue come from and if it will resolve itself?
It's the end of the chinese holiday... so maybe some hope...
sorry i m naive in the field of this mobile tech world .
i reached to the hosts file through your solution but i can't change read only files to write
this rooting stuff looks too complicated for htc desire .
is there any other way , without roooting my desire
Sorry, mate. I don't own a desire, so I really cannot help with this issue.
True enough, it's only those two apps which will not work, but still a little annoying to have to go and look online for the apps and to download them manually.
Ask on the Desire forum about this
4- remember to touch the button "Mount R/W" to change the status of the text r/o into r/w right next to the button.
In my htc desire i can't get this "mount r/w" is its the functionality of root explorer . because i can't see any option to change from r/o to r/w
Hey, what can i do if my phone isn't rooted?
Same problem as everyone has, apps not installing and no gmail.
I dont get it, why it happened. Stupid Great firewall.
I have froyo 2.2. how can i root it just to change hosts files? dont want any custom roms tho. tnx

Good point. For cm6.1 beta2, just alter the build.prop as follows:
ro.product.cpu.abi=armeabi-v7a
ro.product.cpu.abi2=armeabi
and reboot.
This was not my fix, and I take no credit for it - it was in the big thread. I believe that the forthcoming beta 3 is going to have this change built-in.

I have been trying to days now to get this one last piece working. I have copied the flash apk to everywhere I can think of but still can't get it to install. I have tried using ADB (INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK), Droid Explorer (crashes while trying to install), made sure SYSTEM was R/W, and still I am stumped.
Any ideas what else I can try? I am running CM v6.1b2.

I am having the same problem trying to install on full vanilla. In fact, my device will not even download the rar...it fails. I had to copy it from another device....so dumb question, i assume i just need to rename the file to apk, not unrar it?
Flash 10.1 fix
I used a RAR extractor on my windows machine then side loaded the APK into SD on system. I then used ES file explorer to find the file On the internal SD and when I opened it it gave me the option to install. Install went off without a hitch.
I have stock system with no ROM changes and I loaded launcher pro which I use instead onf TapNTap. I have now viewed many Utube video's as well as movie trailers with no problems.
Hope that helps

My apologies for not explaining more fully. I actually have the build.prop edit in place. I tried copying the flash apk to /system as well as /system/app. My problem is that I can't get it to install. Either I get an error, the program attempting the install crashes, or nothing happens.
By the way, you mention a beta 3 of CM. Any idea where I can find it? I did a quick 'net search but came up with nothing specific for the gtablet. Guess I need to plow through the megathread again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Could it be I need to fix flash prior to installing CM? I had to do that with the wifi hack before it would work. Guess I need to get another backup going just in case.
Edit (again): Never mind about Beta 3. I see in the megathread that it is in the works.
For the APK error, not sure about vanilla (never tried it). TnT Lite is 90% vanilla so I figured it should work on full stock.
I usually install with "adb install", which is how I tested it. I assumed a sideload would also work. I haven't put it in /system yet although I probably will do that when I build out TnT Lite 2.00 - that's coming next week btw, as soon as VS sends out their new firmware update and I can get my hands on it.

Yeah, the ADB install just gave me an invalid APK error so I gave up there.
I may try flashing back to stock(ish) and installing from there.

I am having the same problem as iksnae. I changed the Rom to TNT Lite 2.0.2 prior to loading the 10.1 Flash Player. I get Youtube videos and even Angry Birds but I can't get flash video from CNN or Hulu? Should I flash back to stock and then add flash. If so can someone point me to that thread? Every other hack has worked perfectly.

My GTab was configured like yours. I unintalled Flash 10.1 and loaded the vanilla "out-of-the-box" Rom version. This version also had the clockwork menu so when you Flash don't panic if you see this pop up, just follow the instructions for loading the update.zip file from the /sdcard (I think it was option 2). I then side loaded Flash 10.1.apk from the PC to /sdcard and using ES File Explorer to access /sdcard, I doubled clicked on the Flash 10.1.abk to install.
Then I reinstalled TnT_Lite 2.0, flashed and then TnT_Lite 2.02 & Flashed this update.
ESPN3 works great. Also get Flash_TV from the Android Market and you now have IPTV. I am anxious to get the docking module so I can stream HDMI 1080P to my 46" LCD. No more cable, no more monthly cable bills (I do get internet 28MB/sec service).
Still looking for an optimized Nvidia Tegra 2 video media player that will take advantage of the processors embedded video encoder functions. I expect this will play HDMI 1080P movies quite nicely. Rock Player is rumored to be working on a dual core Cortex 9 version. Right now it plays using the software control option and is slow and clunky.
I believe that Flash 10.1 is optimized for the Nvidia Tegra 2 processor and it is quite nice. The streaming videos play smoothly. Not sure how they will play in HD when using the docking module and the HGMI connection to the large screen.
Best of luck. It's easy once you figured out how to do the original Flash load(s).

Thank you for this 11/29 edit pointer to the flash apk file (rename txt to API), all I have done is rooted thus far with z4root, stock TnT, and now YouTube videos work!
**NOTE FOR VEGAN TAB USERS** Steps 1-5 are no longer necessary for you, as the build.prop file in your /system directory has a working market fingerprint out of the box. Just apply the standard Market Fix (steps 6-8) and you are good to go.
I've seen several people complaining that the "full market" we had on G Tablet after the established market fixes wasn't quite full. Well, I've solved that problem, through a mixture of reading what others have done with other devices and experimentation. I will not promise that this gives you *everything*, but I do believe it gives you apps that otherwise required the release-keys status. Some of the apps you get may of course not work. But several applications I looked for before (TV.com for example, with streaming CBS video content) were not available with the previous market fix, and are now available with this fix. In fact, TV.com even works, except for a very minor video glitch in the upper left corner of the screen, and it's a cool app to get some quick streaming video content going on your G Tablet.
**NOTE** I take no responsibility for you screwing up your G Tablet. Please backup your system in Clockwork Recovery before doing any of this!
**EDIT** Removed unneccessary steps after feedback in this thread. Process is now very simple. Edited step 1 to clarify you need paid version of Root Explorer.
Here's how to do it:
0) Backup in Clockwork Mod. Please. I don't want you mad at me if this messes up your ROM.
1) Get the paid version of Root Explorer installed on your G Tablet. Apparently the free version lacks a text editor. If you only have the free version, the text editing step will need to be done in a separate program, or you will need to copy build.prop to your desktop, edit it there, and copy it back. Or use adb to push an edited build.prop to your tablet. Just buy Root Explorer though, it makes this very easy.
2) Browse in Root Explorer to /system. Then click on Mount R/W.
3) Long click on build.prop and click on Open In Text Editor.
4) Scroll down to the line ro.build.fingerprint=....
You are going to replace that with the following text:
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2/FRF91/43546:user/release-keys
5) Now you are going to click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O.
6) Now you are going to re-do the original Market Fix. I used the simple version illustrated here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7l-nySibzeA&feature=related First, make sure Market is running, and browse around in it for a few seconds. If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work. Then, go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running and scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET, JUST CACHE**. Then go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.
7) Now try starting Market again and you get the famous Market Error. Now shut down the G Tablet, then turned it back on. Wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything! I forgot to do that on the first try, so I rebooted again, waited for wifi to connect this time.
8) Now restart Market again. It seems to have sourced the fingerprint from build.prop somewhere in steps 6-7. Searches for previously missing apps now show up. Voila! A truly full market!
And steps 6 and 7 can almost certainly be replaced by the equivalent steps using Titanium Backup that I know a lot of people have been using, particularly with TNT Lite. I am running ZPad 2.2 here, so YMMV with TNT Lite. Please keep me informed if this works/doesn't work for you if you try it!
Credit goes to: Paul at Modaco for hacking on the Advent Vega and making the Market work fully on that device and for coming up with a working build.prop for the Advent Vega, Roebeet for inspiring me to look at the Vega ROM stuff with his current work on the VEGAn ROM, Rothnic for his excellent work on the ZPad ROM that I'm currently using. Basically, I'm just hacking and slashing here, this wasn't any sort of rocket science.
Paul from Modaco is awesome -- and you are as well, for making this post!
Any apps in particular that you found after this, that were missing before? I might want to try this on my device. Thanks again!
FWIW my Nexus One running a CM 6.0 nightly from 2 days ago has
ro.build.fingerprint=google/passion/passion/mahimahi:2.2.1/FRG83/60505:user/release-keys
Note the more up-level version (2.2.1) and build (FRG83). I haven't tried this on my GTab yet but I will as soon as I can get it up and running.

The only specific things I can tell you off the top of my head are TV.com which I know wasn't there because I searched for it a few hours ago. Also, I tried searching Market for Handcent before and found 14 or 15 results, and after this process I was able to retrieve 24 results.
There were a bunch of random apps I saw in the Top Apps list that I don't remember seeing earlier today. So that was enough to convince me that most of the missing 10-20% of apps are there now.
And thanks for the compliment, especially coming from the guy who made the G Tablet useful!

I'm sure that will work too, though the FRF91 build string seems to match the existing data in the ZPad ROM at least. I'm guessing the two signatures will produce essentially identical Market results.

Yeah. I may be somewhat overoptimistic going with FRG83. The build and version numbers identify the version of the system code so apps may read them and make some assumptions as to certain API characteristics. We're probably closer to FRF91 than FRG83 on TnT Lite.
This one worked ok for me

Yes this is Galaxy Tab. Probably better a Tegra tab once a full market one comes out.
I did the following:
1) Edited build.prop as described in step 4, rebooted and searched for tv.com - no results
2) I preformed the edits in step 4a, rebooted and searched for tv.com - no results
3) I stopped Market & Google Services Framework & wiped Google Services Framework, rebooted after getting Market Error, waited for wifi and opened Market to search for tv.com - no results.
I can't say if it works. I haven't had trouble finding apps, but I can't find tv.com before or after the steps above. Perhaps, I missed something.
Wait!!!! It does work. I tried again after posting and it's there! Thanks!
Is it possible to post the TV.com app? I don't want to do the mod but would love that app!
Great post man worked like a charm, I can get my slingbox app from the market now.
Edit: dammit I can't get the downloaded sling client to launch even after trying it many times which usually worked.
I'm going to give it a shot but being a newbie I'm not clear on this step:
5) Now you are going to click on Save and Exit. And then remount the /system directory as R/O
Will "remount as r/o" be an option to select at this point? If not, can you provide more detail.
The rest of the mod is easy enough to follow.
Thanks.

I looked around to see if this was posted anywhere else on here but didn't see anything. I wanted to let everyone know that you are able to port Fifa 10 to the gTab using the following method.
Note: This method has only been tested by myself. I do not know how this will affect your device so proceed with caution.
You will need to have a device that can already run Fifa for this to work. (ex Samsung Fascinate)
Instructions in red are to be performed on your gTab. Instructions in lime green are to be performed on your second device.
1.) Install the Fifa apk on the gTab. You can either do this by downloading from the market, if it shows up, or by side-loading it. (If you try to open it it will try to download extra information and fail.)
2.) Install the Fifa apk on your second device.
3.) Once you have installed on your second device you will open the game. It will start by notifying you that it must download more files from the EA servers. Allow it to fully download and install the game.
4.) After it has been completely installed on the second device you will have all the files you need to play on your gTab. On your second device use Dropbox to upload all the files in /sdcard/data/data/com.eamobile.Fifa/files to your Dropbox account.
5.) On your gTab navigate to the /sdcard/data/data. From here you will need to create the folder " com.eamobile.Fifa ".
6.) Inside that folder create another folder titled " files "
7.) Install all of the files you upload to your dropbox into the newly created files folder on your gTab
You should now be able to open Fifa 10 on your gTab. Hope this can help the gTab loving soccer fans out there!
Thanks for the walkthrough.
Do you know if this solves the "white field" issue? I've installed it in the past but the grass is always white for some reason?
Too weird -- FIFA 10 worked for me right off the market...I bought it when the app was 99cents for a while...
No work needed at all to get it to run on the gtablet...
Ive gotten fifa to load and start a game but always fcs abt 10 seconds into the game and I see the white field patches. Memory is 300mb before game launch, data file downloaded properly, running vegan 5.1....any thoughts?
me too

So I managed to get CM7 on my nook fairly easily just now (latest versions for everything) however when I was up and running it asked me to upgrade my cm7 version in the notification area. I did but now I have no access to the market. I see the icon but nothing happens when I press it. If I goto manage applications, the market doesn't appear there either. Did I miss something?
The market worked previously, although it was the old school android market, not the new one. I thought that was odd, but after the cm7 update, the market doesnt open.

You didn't really have to do that if you are running CM7 and CWR off the internal eMMC. Just put the .zip on the card, boot into CWR and install .zip from card.
But since you are up and running I guess the point is moot for you.
So I've come across a different problem. I'm trying to get netflix to work but the market tells me "Your device is not compatible with this item".
I looked around and I think I found a fix but I needed to install ES File Explorer..I went to download that and...
"Your device is not compatible with this item".
Thought maybe I could do it through Astro, but same message.
How do I get around this? Especially sicne any of the tricks I found to do it are unavailable to me because of the very same problem.
Thanks!

I redownload the GAPP's file from the CM7 Wiki and then try reflashing it. I dont know what could've happened but I would try that first. As for the file explorer issue, I would download the Dropbox app on your NC and then on your computer, search for the Root Explorer/ES APK and upload it to Dropbox on your computer and then istall it on your Nook Color. Although, I am running Nightly 202 and the entire Market is working for me with no modifications or anything. I think the fact that one of the nightly's changed the DPI to 160, either way, I still have access to the entire Market without modifications.

I had the same issue. What I did was upgrade to latest via ROM mgr pp WITHOUT checking 'load gapps' option which rebooted into latest CM7 nightly without gapps. Then rebooted into recovery, with gapps 0828 loaded on my sdcard, chose wipe cache option then loaded gapps. rebooted, had to reinit gapps but then it all worked.

You never mentioned what version of CM7 you are running. If it is older than nightly 200, install a newer nightly.

You need to download and flash a nightly above 200.
