if you just got the phone it probably already has the ota firmware on it so pwnmymoto won't work. as far as the app not installed, you need to go into settings and check allow 3rd party apps, you also will find some setting somewhere to tell the phone not to check the apps for security concerns or something. There might even be two places for this, one in google settings somewhere and one somewhere else. just look around and you will find everything.

I wiped out my phone and re rooted it, and when downloading all my apps two of them wont download and/or install rather I get this "install Unsuccessful" then I reboot my phone and got this now about 20 times "Download Unsuccessful" one app I dont care but its doing this to my app I bought called
Snap photo Pro
Anyone Got Ideas?
If anyone need ss just ask
What firmware version are you running? JFRC33, ADP or Sapphire? I believe running ADP may not let you DL paid applications and I'm pretty sure the Sapphire firmware doesn't let you DL paid applications.
Same for me with Toggle Settings, the new 2.0.x version. It's free, so copy protection should not be the issue. A copy protected/paid app would not even show up for me in the market, but Toggle Settings did. I just could not download it, I got "Download Unsuccessful" every time, must have tried it 50 times during a span of several days, both via wifi and 3G.
The market is probably my biggest issue with Android so far. It's buggy and inconsistent and does not live up to my expectations.
Any way we can save our paid apps so when we use magic rom we can just install them from the sd card using a file manager ?
I got this "download unsuccessful" when I ran out of room on my phone, i had 94+ apps on my phone at the time. Maybe you have a similar problem?

I had the same issue for some reason with Snap photo Pro.
I have my apps on sd card.
I know SPP is a locked program, i had to message the developer, show proof of purchase.
He sent me a copy of SPP that isn't locked.
The only draw back on this is, it wont inform me when he has updates.
Any ideas on why i can't install LOCKED APPS even though i'm on rc-33mod???
OK, I've got my new ROM installed and I love it. I'm in the process or re-installing my apps via AppBrain, and when I come to the two that I paid for (SystemApp Remover and ROMmanager) the "Buy" button is showing up again. I read in another forum that there should be something that says purchased but all I see is Buy. Do I have to go through the official Market in order to get them back without paying?
Anyone? I tried going in through the actual Market, not AppBrain, and it is still saying I have to buy them.
Paid apps are linked through your Google account. Try opening the Market at least once (to "establish the link") before installing through AppBrain and see what happens.

Thanks for replying
I went in through the Market so see if that might work. It didn't, and charged me for the SystemApp Remover again... grrr. I think I'm more frustrated now than I was before... LOL
I figured out what I did wrong. When I installed AppBrain again, I used a different email address in the Google Checkout. I've done a Google search but can't find a way to change it. Does anyone know if this is possible?

You should be able to return the app since it was less than 24 hours since you bought it. In the AppBrain app hit Menu > Preferences > Sign out and sign back in but with the right email. I hope I'm understanding your problem correctly
I can't figure out how to sign out. I don't see that option anywhere.
OK, I understand what you are saying, but that's not the problem. I only have one AppBrain account, which I linked to the wrong email address through Google Checkout, when reinstalled it. I will try making a new AppBrain account and see if that works.
Nope, still brings up the wrong email, I guess because it is on the same phone.
I have rooted captivate. since yesterday I can't download or update anything from market. It keeps saying 'starting downloads' and happens nothing. Even sometimes it says your item will be downloaded but again happens nothing.
I use black market too. Does it make my 'market' fail now? I don't have a clue...please help me.
Hey try re flashing the rom you have and see if that works, its worked for me before.

Make sure the Google Talk services are running.
Steps to try:
1) Clear market data, retry downloads.
2) Depending on the rom you are on, Froyo build, you may not have a unique Android ID. If this is the case, download Android ID Changer and change the ID to something other than seen. Next time you flash stock, get your unique Android ID and write it down so you can use in the future.
Good luck.
I didn't get Froyo yet, and I just rooted in order to get the permission of installing apps freely. so I didn't do anything with roms. And I realized that Google talk is not working. I never played that app becuase I'm using kakaotalk. It says signing in...but nothing happens. How can I erase maket data then. I think I should have study more before rooting. How does goolge talk running related to market?

Both the market and Google talk use this service called
Google Talk Service (or something like that)
If you use a program that blocks startup programs make sure both google talk and its service are greenlisted. In addition try to stop using any task killers to see if that is the problem.
And the massage "Sorry! The process com.google.process. gapps has stopped unexpectedly. please try again." comes out from time to time with 'force close' button.
What does it mean?

I think it is tied to GMail sync which is also tied to the Google Talk service I believe.
I uninstalled apps have chances auto killing that process. They are one click lag, auto killer memory, but nothing changed after rebooting. Even the same error message came out as soon as rebooted. The odd thing is that that task is still running when i check with android hackers. How can I control the start up apps?

try using an app called "start up auditor"
Oh my Gosh!! I love XDA developers friends!! Thanks diablo, nbs !! I just found out other thread with same issue and fixed beautifully my captivate.
Here is what I did. I downloaded google talk services apps from here, and copy them to systems/app, and reboot. They are automatically downloading all the accumulated failed downloading after rebooting. I might have deleted some gtalk related apps by mistake. Hooray!!
Thanks all!!

No problem! The same thing happened to me a while back because I accidentally startup audited the service.
i cant seem to make this work for me? but I am having the same problem..
Ok so this is weird as hell, and i've already called HTC about this and they provided a little bit of help.
First, this is my first official Android handset (Why the hell did I wait so long omg?) after kicking Apple to the curb, so I am still learning all the tricks and shortcuts, but I have a fairly good knowledge as to how the OS works now.
My Issue is I am unable to install 3rd party apps. I have the APK downloaded, I have the option in settings to allow 3rd party apps to install, and when I try to install it takes me to the install screen showing me what the app will have access to, and has cancel and install at the bottom. Cancel works, as well as show info, but the install button does nothing. I've tried from the download section, as well as ASTRO File Manager.
HTC Mention double checking to make sure third party app install is enabled (I can't even get to the install screen otherwise so it obviously is) and they mentioned to do a soft-restart by holding down the power button until it completely reboots.
Here is the kicker, after doing the soft-restart for the first time, I was able to install the Humble Indie Bundle Beta App. Worked perfectly fine. But now that I have downloaded the games from that App, I am back to the same issue before where I can't install the APK's and the soft-restart isn't fixing the issue.
I've goggled the crap out of this and haven't come across really anything like this, except some mention that AT&T Blocks third party apps, but it looks like that was on older HTC phones, and since I was able to install 1 third party app, I don't think that's the case. Any help would be appreciated!
*********** TLR SOLUTION ************
If you can't install 3rd party apps, after having checked the option in settings, remove the "Google Settings" app, and then run your installs. If you are using a new install for the first time, pick Android Installer and not Verify and Install to avoid issues. Scumbag Google. :laugh:
Re-install Google Settings at your own risk afterwards.

Google recently installed a new "installer" package from the store. I think it was called "verify and install". Anyway, the first time I tried to install from the Amazon store, it asked me which installer to use - Android or the new google installer. I chose the second program (always). After that my programs would not install. I had to remove that program and then the next time I made sure that I selected the default Android installer.
I don't know where the new installer came from. I didn't ask for it to be installed.
Anyway, check your apps list and see if that is installed.

Just searched all apps installed for both install and verify. There is nothing under verify, and install comes up with Certificate Installer DemoFloPackage Installer and Package Installer, all with android icon's, so they appear to be default stuff. I'll definitely keep looking though, thank you for the tip!
Edit: Your suggestion game me the idea to see if there was another installer application on the appstore that might work. I tried Easy Installer and it still just installs using the regular (or I suppose default) installer, which leads me back to the same problem =(
Do you have any apps like Lux Autobrightness or screen filter running or similar? If you do, that is your culprit. Those apps act as an overlay to your screen (that's how they adjust brightness) and as a security feature the install button is disabled when an overlay app is being used to prevent an overlay app from being able to hit the install button. It works after a reboot because the app has not yet started running.

I do have twilight installed (Like F.Lux) but it looks like stevedebi's original assessment was correct. The app is "Google Settings" attached is a screen cap of the culprit.
I unlocked my bootloader to install cynogenmod (decided against it) and when I went to re-install all the apps, the "Android Installer" and "Verify and Install" option came up, and once I saw the icon was the same as google settings, I opened it up and there was the verify options down at the bottom.

Thank you for this info! Completely forgot about this and was getting frustrated when the install button wasn't working..
I tried the whole "deleting the screen filter" app thing. It works momentarily after I "soft" reset my phone, but only for one install.
Every time, I have to reset my phone, so something else is in the way.
My phone is not rooted, if that helps at all. And it's an AT&T galaxy s2.
I cannot install it from the Play Store, as my country has no support for many Goggle apps. So I went to find an .apk and installed it, but if force closed on me after opening the app. Tried another one, FC again, but the third one worked... somewhat. I can install it, open it, but when it asks me to turn it on in the settings, I cannot do that, because it is not present there. I mean, the hell?
Any ideas?
