*FIX* market working properly in 2.1


Recommended Posts

Posted

I think this may solve a couple of other issues as well.. .

I cleared the Dalvik cache.

I havent stock clockwork recovery on, so I did this manually.

as ROOT

in a terminal (either on the streak, I use better terminal emulator, or using adb shell from your PC)

 

su 

cd data/dalvik-cache

rm * 

exit

reboot the streak

it'll take a while to set up on boot (like 1st time) then everything works fine..

Download a terminal app fards said use better terminal emulator.

as Ive said before if youre going to mess about with prerelease software then read a bit more before you start...

turn your streak on (The power button is at the top on the right hand side )

your right hand is the one that doesnt make an L shape when you hold it up in front of you...

I am being too basic here? :D

two choices..

go to the market

type in terminal

download one (I bought "Better terminal emulator") but you dont need to as long as its not messed up you should be good..

Root your streak using the one click root

http://android.modaco.com/content/dell-str...one-click-root/

do it twice, as it probably wont work first time.

open the terminal app you got from the market

type in exactly what I wrote in the box, at the end of every line press enter/done/return, what ever it is on your keypad.

after typing exit

press the power button till it turns off..

when turned off turn it back on again..

wait

wait some more

still waiting? time for a bad joke.. why did the camel cross the road? because it did... my son thought that one up...

now its loaded try the market..

ps I Think theres a basic terminal emulator in the firmware, but it must have been poor to make me want to buy one...

I need this fix to get into the market to begin with ..... I tried to restore with app brain, but now my pc doesn't recognize the streak anymore. Now it shows a mini 5 instead.

Tried it......still can't get in, but for other reasons I think.

Change your @googlemail.com account to a @gmail.com account and your problem will be fixed! just log onto googlemail and there is a link to do this... for some reason it fixes the problems...

I signed in as a gmail account and it automatically shows my address as googlemail, this wasn't an issue on the old firmware, so why is it an issue with this update?

If the guy above fixed the problem perhaps you could remember where this link is?

Cheers!

I got the opposite but without any problems... I signed in with a googlemail address and it shows as gmail everywhere on the streak...

yes, now ok. many thanks :D

OK, I have fixed the issue by doing something pretty basic and obvious. Factory reset your phone - Settings>privacy>factory reset

you will lose all data but keep the OS update, meanwhile create a new gmail account, use your new gmail account when setting up your phone. This will have to be done over 3g or HSPDA NOT YOUR WIFI link (no idea why that makes a difference).

Then you will be able to use the market again, and download the all important gmaps updtae!

Ciao 4 Now!

To everyone that is still having problems with Market place.

If you have a @googlemail.com account you will need to go to your google mail page, select SETTINGS from top right, then select ACCOUNTS AND IMPORT.

Look for SEND MAIL AS and at the end of your email address you should see SWITCH TO @GMAIL.COM? select this and confirm on the next screen.

You now need to do a factory reset on your Android device and then setup your google with [email protected] and you should now be able to download from the Market and all your previous purchases and downloads will be in the download section.

This is the only thing that worked for me.

Give it a try, it might help you as well.

Andy.

I had similar problems, I'm sure its related to the googlemail/gmail switch google are doing in the UK, it's not an issue specific to the streak.

I don't know exactly how I fixed it - just did a combination of switching gmail<->googlemail and factory resetting. Was a pain but I got there within 20 mins.

Thanks for everyone who posted their findings here.

Has anybody got the fix working ??

I have tried the fingerprint fix for the nexus one and still missing loads of apps, such as google earth, calltrack.. I can see Paid apps so I guess it is just some protected apps ??

I have also cleared the dalvik-cache as well

I have messed about with market enabler as well and that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Just wanted to know if anybody has got the market working fully and if so, How ??

Cheers

Make sure you reboot after you run the fix.

Well this flipped my displays X and Y axis after I installed this.

It messed up the graphics to the point where things would be white until they moved, and also my display (after the 3rd reboot) decided to completely display upside down.

I then removed the 'Fix' but as you might know yourself, theres no remove option, you can only remove the installer.

Anyone who uses Eris Market Fix be wary.

Thanks,

Shauneh

Eris Market Fix installed fine for me but doesn't work as I still can't find the apps I'm looking for. So far I have performed all steps listed in this thread with no luck. I don't understand how it works for some but not others.

Also tried Eris Market Fix.... was obliged to wipe and restore a cleAn 2.1

It was totally impossible to boot after having applied eris market fix

Don't know what this was exactly, but it worked (hard to finally find this post though).
