Hello,
Got the 'apps stuck on installing' problem with the Market on new 2.1 firmware. I've read in other posts that it's possible to fix this by clearing the Market cache and data. However, on the X10 it's only possible to clear the Market cache and this doesn't seem to fix it.
Anyone found another way to fix (because I stupidly uninstalled the 'stuck' apps from the Apps Management settings menu and now I can't reinstall them )?
Generally enjoying 2.1, though (Angry Birds! )
Thanks!
I had this happen last week with a number of apps (all stuck at "Installing") at once. There was no option to cancel, and rebooting didn't help. Eventually, I just re-flashed my firmware (and added JIT to boot).
Knock on wood... so far so good.
errase all data of google, restart. click on market put ur data , must be fix it. thats wut i did

I tried deleting the Google account from within 'Settings->Accounts & Sync' but the X10 told me that other apps were using this account and the only way to remove it was to factory reset the phone. How did you erase all your Google data?

I was really hoping not to have to do that - it's taken a while to get the X10 running something like I want it after the 2.1 update
Download the apk from somewhere else of the thing you installed thats stuck and install it. That restarted the one I accidentally uninstalled while updating it
In my case fixed with reflashing, nothing else was helpful

Have you rooted your X10? If so, make sure ou install and use Titanium Backup. If you keep your backups up-to-date, re-flashing is a minor inconvenience as you can restore (almost) everything to the way it was.
No, I've not rooted it. Generally I just use the phone and apps and don't try to do anything too techy with it. Is it still worth rooting (apart from to use Titanium Backup?)

Here's the Market fix for ROOTED X10a and X10i with R2BA026. This will ONLY work on R2BA026! If you try it on any other firmware, you WILL get a yellow exclamation mark!
I made this because people are having trouble with the fix for 024 to 026 update. This one uses the R2BA020 fingerprint from Rogers-branded (Canadian) firmware.

Market fix for X10i R2BA026

Standalone Toggle Secure Shell script (run this if ADB won't let you mount /system directory)
ToggleSecureShell_X10.rar (Megaupload)
You must have PC Companion or Sony Ericsson Update Service installed, and you must have USB debugging enabled on your phone. There is NO NEED for Java or Device ID.
Run MarketFix_R2BA026_X10a.cmd or MarketFix_R2BA026_X10i.cmd to use it.
It keeps a backup of your original build.prop and default.prop files on your SD card. I've made an undo script, but I'm not sure if it works (Can you run adb after you get a yellow exclamation mark? I think you can, but I'm not 100% sure).
Please wait up to 24 hours for it to work.
If you still can't get it to work: I had to do this when NONE of the Market fixes were working. I reflashed my phone (a factory reset may work too), and then used Titanium Backup to restore my apps. I didn't restore my phone settings and region settings, but set them up manually instead. I installed the Market fix and it finally worked! Apparently, something in my backup screwed up my Market access.
Edit: Added X10i Market fix courtesy of MarylandCookie. The only difference is that I combined it with my script.
Noticed after a week of running 026 without issues (or so I thought), my paid market apps weren't showing up. I hadn't noticed before because the apps got re-installed when I restored my backup after upgrading my firmware.
Anywho, someone pointed me to this thread when I reported my market issue, and your process worked perfectly. Only took a couple of hours for the market to update for me.
Thanks!

Absolutely fantastic - I have F3 v3'd my X10 so now on R2BA026 and couldn't get my apps that I'd bought (ultimatejuice mainly) and some of the others I had like MyPlayer wouldn't work either - I tried the previous market fix and got the bricked Yellow ! on my phone so had to reflash. Found this - works PERFECTLY. Only took 30 mins for my apps to reappear, don't know if this was helped along by appbrain as when I searched market, UJ wasn't there but then I searched appbrain and there it was - MyPlayer was similar, searched appbrain and it wasn't there, so searched market and it appeared.
BRILLIANT fix. Thank you guys so much.
Just applied the patch now. Will update when I get access to apps.
UPDATE Already working!

Marketfix for 026 x10a
Hey guys, I went through the marketfix procedure and it's been almost 48hrs now and I'm still seeing no difference with apps on the market. Anyone else here with an x10a experiencing similar problems? Any suggestions outside of re-rooting and trying again? I don't mind waiting for the next upgrade, but obviously, if I can fix this now, then that would be better.
Thanks for your help..
Is this for rooted or un-rooted devices.
I've updated to R2BA026, Unrooted, but certain items are missing off the market. Myplayer being an example!
myplayer is also an example I have, but I'm talking about a 026 rooted x10a.

You could try this (it'll erase your stuff though):
1. Back up your apps, contacts, SMS, etc.
2. Factory reset (Settings > SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset).
3. Turn on USB debugging.
4. Install Market fix.
5. Test Market.
6. Restore apps, etc. DON'T restore saved region and phone settings.

It's for ROOTED phones only. Protected apps are missing if the fingerprint for the new firmware hasn't been approved by the Market yet. This fix basically spoofs the fingerprint to an older, approved one.
hi guys,i'm from brazil.I would like to now if is possible access the market doing this process.I've rooted my xperia x10a with RB...026 2 times,and i've installed the market fix too,but it seems to doesn't work.Could any one tell me something
Fantastic. 3 Hours and I'm seeing ALL apps
3G has sped up quite a bit as well. It was going at about 10kB/s ever since I applied the fix and as soon as the apps started showing in the market it's jumped up to 110kB/s.
Perhaps it was just (another) coincidence, but all my market downloads were stalling at "Starting download" and they started as soon as I switched on Google Talk. At the same time, the missing apps showed up in the market.
Ah well, I'm just glad everything is working smoothly

guiguisk8, can you supply more details? Which way do you root it? If you used exploid, did you keep your branded (Brazil) firmware, or did you flash with Generic X10a? Also, how long has it been since you applied the Market fix? Sometimes it takes a few hours.
hi grospolina,i used the new exploit that uses a cmd file where you type commands.I've installed the busybox(what is his function?) and the marketfix.The firmware is generic, by the way
another 2 questions: is possible install games like hero of sparta? And when the phone is rooted,appear a cmd prontop file on the prone?
Hi guys I just want to ask if i did these steps will i have a market on my X10i ????
Cause in my country X10i didn't come with android market
And I have the latest framware R2BA026
Please I need your help I want the market so bad
hi guys, well to cut it short my market isnt downloading, one of the users "GHIDDA" put forward the suggestion that i have activated a bug in market (infinity downloading at 0 KB or ETERNAL DOWNLOADING) by removing gtalk130 or chat1.6,
ive checked my apps and dont have chat1.6, it was suggested that i flash my rom, i know how to flash but what i need is some pointers on the ROM required and if some of the excellent brains on here could tell me more i would be bloody grateful lol
If you have Titanium Backup installed browse to Backup/Restore tab and list here what google apps you have installed and we will take it from there.

i dont have it, i used seus to repair my firmware back to r2ba026 uk gen, i could go through the flash process to give me r2ba023 rooted, would only take me 15 mins, i think the problem is ive messed my phone right up and would be better flashing a gen uk voda and taking it to the shop to get it sorted,

i have reflashed m8, a few times, still keeps happening, i reckon its down to either the vending or the talk apps that i might have deleted using root explorer, dont know if you can restore things from system or the data folder????
Can you list the google apps that you have left installed? Do you have IM?
google apps
google apps 1.3
google mail 1.3
google mail storage 1.6
google partner setup 1.6
google search (enhanced) 1.6
google search 1.6
google setting provider 1.6
google talk 1.3
google talk service 1.3
IM 1.6
Interesting... All google apps are there.. Hmm...
When you flashed you handset what firmware did you use? And from where did you download it?
Go to this post by Grospolina:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7490733&postcount=65
Download the pack and flash that firmware.
Dont use titanium backup to restore any settings..
sweet
one of the old ones going from rf16 through step 2 then 3 to give r2ba023 then step 3 to root, originally had uk gen r2ba026 unrooted, used x10 root to root installed titanium and root explorer, went OTT with the delete and browsing through allsorts of folders, deleting what i thought was useless (inc things in data and app and delvic so it might be down to a missing file or something from them perhaps.....im a effin newbie hence FNG) hard reset got what i thought was a great looking simplified phone and aaarrrggghhh market not working, which was weird as i had rooted and restored a few times as i kept making mistakes and market was working as i had to download ASTRO to install the x10root.apk, but after a last restore it just stopped working.........................hence im a DUNCE
aaaarrrggghhhhh
went through the process, 1-3 but my market still wont download, does changing google matter, i created a new one yesterday
Vodaphone rom
If anyone knows where i can get a stock uk vodaphone rom for flashing i would be grateful, i have the two original files from when i debranded but as far as im aware that cant be done anymore.................................................

Is the problem that you can't download apps from the market, and it just hangs on 'download starting', or something like that?
If so, just open Google talk, and wait for it to sign in (with an active internet connection), and the download(s) should start.
It's a common problem - just have a look here:
http://www.google.co.uk/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=57b5e3efa7477b50&hl=en
I hope that this solves the problem, as it did for me.
Good luck!
Internet
do you mean wi-fi, 3g or with browser?
what would happen
what would happen if i installed a rooted firmware and then removed all the google apps and even market, and removed all files and traces associated with them from system or data and then cleaned all my caches? just incase it has something to do with a file error/virus or bug, would seus be able to replace all missing elements in a reinstall, or to simplify can i erase nearly everything and get seus to repair?
Please read before going mad...............
hi peeps, just a quick update,google recently changes from GOOGLEMAIL.COM to GMAIL.COM..........anyone facing problems with sticky downloads should go to google via your PC and change your email to GMAIL (THERES A LINK TO DO THIS SUPER FAST, INSTANT CHANGE< dont worry you can still get your mail from your googlemail.com name)now go offline, pick up your phone turn on etc, go to SETTINGS/APPLICATIONS/MANAGE APPS/GOOGLE APPS and then press clear data to wipe, go back to menu press GOOGLE TALK and sign in with your GMAIL.COM ID........voila market works again the way it should, it must be a bug caused by the change by google recently.....but now its GOOOONE....thanks and good luck peeple
I think iI may have broke my Android Market!
Can still access the Market, but when I try and download an app, its shows the downloading progress bar and then just does nothing. It worked before.
I have been zapping a load of apps recently using Titanium Backup, could that have broke my downloading abilities?
Got a feeling it may be some of the google apps I removed, like google talk, even though I never use them.
Could anyone point me in the right direction to the x10 mini 2.1 stock app .apks?
Much appreciated
Maybe it's what you done with Titanium backup.
Try this first :
Go to Settings -> Applications -> "Menu" button -> Select "All". Then search Android market, clic on, and now clic on "Force stop" first, then "Wipe cache" and "Wipe data" ! Then reboot your phone and check if it's working
If it don't work, reflash your phone using SEUS !

This should be stickied but NEVER, EVER, EVER freeze, delete or even look at any of the Google Apps (any of the apps that say "Google..."), those apps are necessary in order for the system to work correctly, so by removing Google Talk you basically broke your Market.
Just restore a backup (if you have one), reflash the Google Apps or reflash your entire ROM, because I don't think there's a way to reinstall Google Talk.
Okay, looks like I'll have to start from scratch again then.
If I reinstall Android using the sony software, I take it I will lose all apps and root?
I think in future I'll avoid removing bloatware
Yeah, flashing the Sony ROM will wipe your phone clean, but hey it's not that hard to root and flash a custom ROM, just look around for tutorials and you'll be good to go
Was looking at the minicm6 rom, but can't really see the pro's outweighing the con's on using a custom rom. From what I understand, some things like camera and wireless are buggy.
Think I'll stick to the official 'stable' 2.1

Actually, MiniCM6 1.0.0 is pretty much stock ROM stable and has all the functionality of it, I use it every day and it works perfectly, what you have to weigh in the pro/cons is MiniCM7 as the Camera is still stuck on 640x480 instead of 5MP.
Right, flashed minicm6 rom, loaded and run okay, but just didn't like it.
Flashed back to stock 2.1 using sony software, everything back to normal, marking downloading again
On;y thing now is when I plug my phone into computer, it doesn't give the option to install pc companion anymore, just charge or connect. Not that I'm really too bothered though...
Hey guys,
Starting today I have been having a problem with the Market and it saying it doesn't have enough memory to install something. For example the Flash update released today. I try to update and it fails saying it doesn't have enough memory. If I look at free space I have like 2gb free on the phone. I can still download other applications bigger than the update, but it isn't letting me update. I have tried clearing market cache etc. I had the same problem when Fring released an update the day before yesterday. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still couldn't/cant get it to even reinstall. Is their anything you guys might recommend?
Also I have been having a problem with the contacts application. I click on a contact and it says contact not found, or something to that effect. It is like it looses all my contacts and a little bit later they work fine(usually after a restart).
Just seems like I am having lots of problems at the moment. Is their any suggestions for an easy fix? Can I just reflash rom only, and if I were to do that would I loose all my applications etc?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
Thanks,
Blaine

1. MARKET.....try clearing data/cache in menu/settings/apps/manage apps/all/market then reboot and open Market.....should help
2. The contacts issue is pretty strange...do you sync using Google or a Backup Assistant?
Yes you can reboot recovery, wipe cache and in advanced wipe dalvik cache and reflash the ROM your on...it will rewrite system/ and your apps/data will be left as is
ALSO, try a different ROM....I have personally run all teh Froyo ROMs and currently run BAMF Stripped v1.7 with no issues at all.....
i deleted my facebook app from my tablet yesterday and now i cannot find it in the market, i downloaded a FB apk from this forum but it gives me a log in error. is there a way to get my archos tablet back to the orginal setting i tried reformatting , reset android all and i still cant get it to work..
i did the market hack about 50 times already too. i have SDE installed too i was on uruk droid at one point and i went back to the archos firmware.
anyone?
I used Titanium Backup on my phone to back up the apk and then used dropbox to get it to my Archos.
i can download it using app lib but when i log in it gives me an error
i wish there was a way to wipe everything off like everything just have a blank slate and then re install android. like i want it to be like the first time i turned the darn thing on

Mark, there is a way to wipe and start over.
Go to settings/repair and formatting...you can reset android which will just kind of reset everything back to new but won't delete anything. Or you can do a "full re initialization" (thats what they call it) and that will wipe everything. It will be like it just came out of the box.
