I'm running 1.9.30
Yesterday I was trying to find an app to play Justin.TV streams so I could get an NFL game that wasn't being played locally. I tried a few different apps...none of which really worked...Then my phone started acting weird and force closed everything. I restarted and uninstalled the few apps I had tried. Seemed to work fine the rest of the day yesterday. This morning I launched the amazon app store and the force closes started piling on again. This time, when I restarted, I get to the MIUI boot screen and it just hangs there.
Any ideas on how to resolve? How do I get to recovery for MIUI? 3-button isn't working.
I'm relatively new to all this, so the only idea I have is to get to download mode (I do have a jig), return to stock and reinstall MIUI. I'm not sure when my last titanium backup ran though...so it'd be better if I can get it up and running at least to do a backup and then reinstall if still necessary.
Any ideas?
If you are having that many fc's, its best to reflash. Also, after you get to stock, but before you flash MIUI again, I would flash the I897 GB bootloaders to fix your 3 button problem.
Alright, I'll do that.
Are these the bootloaders your referring to?

I was actually talking about the one in my sig. But those should work.

For some reason my Nexus One running FRF85B is unable to install or uninstall any apk's. It just hangs at the installing... or uninstalling... respectively. Has anyone else ever seen that?
Installing has always been really darn quick. Now it just appears to be hanging.
EDIT: Adding new symptom: "Manage Applications" shows the apps installed , but their space is forever listed as "Computing...". It's like the manage applications service is just hosed.

I have seen that as well. I would have to exit (back or home) then when I got back to the applications screen again it wouldn't have to load at all.
Same here, AT&T Nexus One using FRF85B.
The weird thing is, the app(s) actually DO uninstall or install correctly, just that the Market page shows it's not, and hangs at it.
When I force stop the market, then relaunch and check my downloads, they're now reset to the correct info.
Well I'm glad it is not just me. Thinking it was a bad ROM I reinstalled (with complete wipe) Modaco's ROM, then stock Froyo, etc.
Problem went away when I just said screw it and installed CM 5.0.8.
The only problem that persists now is the server error going to the downloads tab of the market. I can't seem to lick that one even though apps download and install fine from the market.
On a side note CM5.0.8 still is snappier than Froyo. I'm salivating at the thought of CM6.
If anyone is also getting persistent errors with the market downloads tab, please chime in. I find it suspicious that I'm having this problem regardless of which ROM is installed.

No matter what I do I still get the server error in the Android Market application when I go to the downloads tab.
I've re-flashed the Froyo Radio and tried both CM 5.0.8 and Froyo.
I don't see others complaining about this so I have to imagine there's something wrong on my end. I just don't know how to diagnose it. Does anyone have any ideas? At All?

I did see that in the CM 5.0.8 ROM, but Froyo is a complete no-go. I've reflashed the radio, and have been using Modaco's ROM because it is the only one I know of that is just a rooted update I can flash with Amon-RA's recovery, but still no luck.
This is scary.
UPDATE
I went all the way back to Stock, Unrooted 2.1 from January, and still get the server error in the downloads page of the Market app. So for giggles, I wiped, created a new gmail account, and lo and behold, everything works. I could download apps, and they showed up in the download tab as installed.
That pretty much puts an end to thinking it's an app/ROM/radio problem, I think.
I then wiped again, went through initial setup with my primary Google account and I'm back to server errors on the downloads tab.
I guess maybe it really IS a server error. Don't know what I can do about it, except gripe...but at least I can stop scratching my head over what ROM/Radio is installed.
After several days of experimenting, the fact is that on any Froyo rom, whether it's stock or rooted, google's or cyanogen's, wiped or not wiped, new gmail account or existing gmail account, what I'm seeing is that, even if I wipe, go into Android and DO NOT enter a google account, going straight to settings | Manage Applications | running applications, shows "Computing..." forever.
Now, if I do a full wipe, it doesn't know anything about my account, right? And the cache, and all that are all wiped. So, what could possibly cause the infinite "Computing..." in the apps?
Does anyone know?
It happened to me as well last night. I was installing an apk (updating over an older version), and it showed "Installing...." forever. No hardware button gave me any response and I eventually had to reboot the machine by pressing the 3 buttons (luckily this worked. I really hate the thought of pulling the battery out...). After the reboot I tried again and it installed without a problem.
I m on a stock Nexus One FRF91, never hv an issue b4 that latest system update. Looks like it is bringing more issues to me...
what 3 buttons reboot the phone?
The same thing is happening to me. When trying to install any market app, it just hangs at "installing. I have to reboot the phone to get it to stop doing it.
Every once in a while, about 1 out of 15 times, I can get an app to install correctly and quickly, but all the other times it hangs.
It started happening when going to froyo. I have tried several different froyo mods and the same thing happens on all of them. When I nandroid back to 2.1 it is fine.
It happens to me with the Rodriguezstyle mod, the Kang-O_rama mod and the evil n-one shot Noir mod.
In order to fix this issue. You MUST do the following steps:
1. Wipe the SD card.
2. Wipe ext partition (if there)
3. Delete spareparts if you have it ANYWHERE on the system
4. Reboot the system into recovery
5. Wipe all cache's
Tada! Fixed!
This fixed it for me on Kang-O-Rama.
I belive the problem is when moving ROMs and the new app2SD feature stores files on the SD. When moving ROM's, it try's to scan them but fails. Something is stuck in a loop and wont stop .
When taking out the SD card, it ALL works flawlessly (give it a go if you need to install some apps to help)

Press the trackball, volume down and the power button all at the same time.
If you have root then the app quick boot is a one click solution.
When I was or do have a stalling at the install. I clear the market data and this works for me. I also try to keep the cache clear.
Since I manually upgraded from EPE54B to FRF85B to FRF91, my phone has been freezing a lot. I don't really see a pattern to it as far as which apps are open when it freezes. It has happened on Handcent, browsing, Gmail, and probably a couple other apps. Anybody know what could be causing this?
yes u are right, its freezing.
Try this, from lostinbeta:
Yes, boot into recovery (turn off the device, then hold down the trackball while powering on the device)... then follow the instructions to navigate to the recovery window)... I believe when you get to recovery you get an android with an exclamation point.... press volume up, volume down, and power button all at the same time to access the submenus. Wipe should be in there. Works for non-rooted and locked phones. It's the same way I did my manual 2.2 update.
Wouldn't that wipe all the data on my phone?
Select the wipe cache option first and see if that fixes the issue. That only clears the cache partition and not the phone data.
If it doesnt then you might want/have to do a factory wipe which will delete all ur info (so back them up first).
I wiped the cache, but that didn't help. I decided to try disabling some applications to see if one of them was causing the problem. I think I may have found it. I disabled some of the options on LauncherPro that said they could cause instability, and I haven't had a problem since.
I'm having problems with the phone freezing as well.
i had a problem freezing too and i jus did a factory reset/data wipe in recovery and everything came out good no freezes, did manual updates too
I ended up doing a factory reset/wipe as well, and that fixed the problem for me.
Go to the market and grab Process Manager Full. Kill some of the apps running in the background like mail, browser, music or stuff that isn't a service. Free up some memory and see it that temporarily fixes freezing. We all deal with this and for myself, closing apps always unfreezes the phone.
Is there a way to solve this problem without factory wipe? Mine freezes 5 times a day....

I was going through this as well. If I fell back to the original ERD PASSIMG and then updated to ERE27 and stayed there things were fine.
As soon as FRF91 got pushed to my phone it would begin running hotter and lock up / restart many times per day. Yesterday alone I counted five lock-ups in 45 minutes while out shopping with my wife.
I finally got frustrated and last night I rooted my phone and did the hack needed to block the 2.2 OTA. I am currently running rooted 2.1 ERE27 (otherwise stock) and my phone is behaving nicely.
I haven't had a single lock-up/reboot since I rooted. There are some things I miss from FroYo now (like properly working hands-free Bluetooth) but I can live without if it means my phone is behaving properly.
Your still going to get the OTA, I restored one of my nandriod backups FRF85, and the OTA was waiting for me after bootup. You can't flash it though if you have custom recovery. They have rooted stock FROYO, try it out maybe you'll like. I would never go back to 2.1 that's insane.

Weird problem here, not sure if anyone else has seen this issue. I was running the rooted firmware 1.1 (and a 950Mhz UV/OC kernal) for the better part of the day today. After rebooting a couple of times to 'fix compatibility' with Spare Parts, I accidentally hit the 'Lend Book' app. It started to load the app, gave some kind of Barnes authentication error, and the Nook just shut down. When it rebooted, it started in the recovery screen for a few seconds, and then it loaded up the old 1.0.1 software, with no custom apps other than Market and Rom Manager. Luckily I had a backup from earlier in the day, but what gives? Is there something I did wrong to cause the nook to default to an older software?
This is being discussed in the 1.1 Flash ROM thread as well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=932145&page=38
A temp fix I figured out is the "freeze" the program "DeviceManager" in Titanium Backup. That will prevent it from rebooting and resetting. I dont know what else it affects but you definitely cant use the B&N shop.
I guess I will have to use this method until someone finds a real fix as the ones on this forum dont block the authorization error.
Greetings all, I've been running 1.1 for a while with root while I waited for CM7 to get Bluetooth working. I had misplaced my nook charger and stopped watching threads due to real life, but now I've found it and had some time to get caught up on things.
I took the NC back to factory and upgraded to 1.2 without issues. Rooted using MN (using the currently latest version of MN, which is like 4.5.25 or something similar). Was able to root without issues, and started reinstalling all my apps. I'm not quite ready to get CM7 on there as I want a good backup of stock so I don't have to mess with dual booting and so that I can read using the native app rather than downloading the nook reader from the market.
Anyways, after I installed everything, I put CWM back on via rom manager, then rebooted it and immediately got bootlooped. Had to use cwm to wipe data and cache to get out of it.
So I started working my way through installing a few apps from the market at a time and eventually narrowed it down to being Adobe Air.
So after I got back in again, I started checking around in the OS and I noticed that AIR comes preinstalled (I checked the updater-script and it does not install air nor flash, but yet both are installed by default). I realized this after I saw that the option for AIR in the market is actually update instead of install, while the application list when I search for AIR shows free instead of update available.
Anyways, I'm about to see what happens after I use root uninstaller to remove it and then install it solely from the market, but I'm just curious if anyone else has encountered this? I have no problem updating gmail or maps from the market even though those are installed in system as well.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Removing AIR and flash did not cause bootloop upon reboot which is good news. No bootloop after installing AIR from market once I removed the default one.. Strange indeed. Must be an issue with checking the new one against the stock one's dalvik-cache entry. I installed a modified flash from the thunderbolt forums so I can get hulu in-browser on here, which works but the video is pretty horribly choppy, probably because I have it on Hi Def.. I'll try low def later.
I had 1.1 and then also went back to stock and upgrade to 1.2 than manual nooter 4.6.16 and was working to get my IMDB to stop force closing and getting Netflix to stop playing at highspeed. Happend to stumble upon flash 10.3 in the market and it asked for upgrade, so I did so and when to rebook NC. Well it now is stuck in a loop even after clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache AND reloading manualnooter 4.6.16. It'll load up to the oscilating color Color dev logo but then restarts loading and gets stuck every time at Nook Co (only partially loads the O). Do I need to go back to stock, AGAIN, and reload the Manual nooter 4.6.16?
Clear data, in addition to cache and dalvik.
You mean in mounts do a "format data" or do you mean clear data/restore to factory?

They do the same thing, so either will work
So, I did the one-click root, which worked fantastically, and I downloaded Titanium Backup, froze the V-cast stuff and a few bits of bloatware.
I'm not sure what happened, but my phone is no longer downloading successfully from the marketplace, and sync has failed every time i've tried it.
I've tried defrosting every program I froze, rebooting the phone, and doing a battery pull, but it still keeps telling me that the network is unavailable and that I should call tech support whenever I try to sync, and the marketplace is still not downloading apps.
Opera works fine, the market itself has no problems showing me every app that's available, but when I try to download, it just hangs without downloading anything at all.
Any suggestions?
Did you try flashing the leaked ota? Try to get yourself as close to stock prior should you decide to try it.
Hadn't heard about an OTA, and don't know how to flash it if there were one. Would doing this correct the problem?
Further investigation shows that data connection is working fine, and I can update using google account. The only problem left is the failure of Android Marketplace to download any apps, regardless of connection type.
Try going in to Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, find Market and then clear cache and clear data. Force Stop it then exit back to the homescreen and launch the Market app again.
That was what the guy at Motorola support tried, except he had me do a battery pull instead of a force stop. No luck.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. Any other ideas?
Yeah...and this one will sound stupid.
Sign in or out of Google Talk. I had an issue on my Droid where everything I downloaded was "unsuccessful". Don't remember where I saw it but it was a google support posting that said to try that.
I was signed in...signed out and everything worked fine after that.
The leaked OTA is in the development section if you want to try it.
Also, I know it sucks to lose everything but have you tried a factory reset?
Tried the google talk solution, no luck.
Will try the OTA flash; all it will take to get me virtually back to stock is to unfreeze everything, since that's pretty much the only thing i've done since I rooted the phone. Is that all I need to do prior to trying, or do I need to unroot or something?
Haven't tried a factory reset, but wouldn't be that huge a loss as long as I back up my contacts and texts.
