Detection found the Market fix !

[Detection]

TESTED ON MY OWN BROKEN MARKET SCROLL AND WORKS 100%

Ok so I did a little investigating last-night, and came across this guide.
http://www.slatedroid.com/wiki/index.ph ... For_Slates

It was designed to repair the market hanging / not downloading problem we are all facing by replacing the Android ID

-------


At the end of this, your scroll will be recognised by the market, as the Android SDK emulator and allow downloading again.



I have now got a fully working Market back on my FW1.01



Follow the guide to the letter > download the full SDK and system.img > make a new VM > and run the emulator

(I chose Android 2.1 update 1 in the emulator setup, as the guide was written for 1.6)

Copy the AndroidID from the emulator using the commands in the guide

Code: Select all

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/accounts.db "select * from meta";

Push the ID from the emulator to the scroll also using the commands in the guide

Code: Select all

adb shell sqlite3 /data/data/com.google.android.googleapps/databases/gls.db "update meta set intvalue='number_from_previous_commands' where name='androidId'";

Install this market.zip through CWM (Dont know if this part is necessary but my old market wouldn't work without this update)
Market 2.2.11

Reboot and download from the market

(This does take a little time, but well worth it in the end)



Enjoy!

(This will probably also work if you take the Android ID from any other device with a working market rather than going through the whole Emulator part)

@Detection - I am glad to hear you have a working market, nice one

[Mac]

would this work if, for example, a clean backup was made by yourself, and then distributed for other users?

<hint hint>

[Diego]

It prolly would, if he wanted to share his account info with everyone

[Mac]

would this work if, for example, ****a clean backup**** was made by yourself, and then distributed for other users?

<hint hint>

sorry, i should have emphasized it more

[Diego]

Yeah, I got that, it's just that, as far as I know, there is no such animal as a 'clean backup'. Could be I'm wrong (it had been known to happen ), but doesn't one have to put in user information on initial startup?

[Detection]

Its possible (If I could make a clean backup, which I cant really without wiping the scroll)

But the market "may" block the device ID if it noticed it was being accessed by multiple devices at once


It not a difficult fix really, and once you do it, you have a unique ID, as does everyone else

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Clearly something I have not downloaded any help appreciated

Massive thanks to Detection! After a nightmare getting the adb app to recognise my scroll I got the new ID applied, and the market does indeed appear to be working! I've updated one of my paid for apps no problems. Long may it continue!
