Root Can't download apps after SBF

I SBF'd and re-rooted to get GB installed. Now I can't download any apps. Some of my apps installed, but most of them show up in "My Apps" in the market but they show as free or purchased instead of installed. When I try to update them or download any new apps, I get an error that says "Download was unsuccessful, please try again." I've rebooted, pulled the battery. Do I need to go back into stock recovery and do something? Very aggravating! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
 
Do you get 3g now?

Sometimes after you SBF, you have to re-activate our phone, but sometimes it isn't triggered if you didn't clear data. You end up without any data service. I think you can check by just trying to make a phone call. If it works, you should have service.

You can trigger it by simply performing a data reset. There is probably some other way, but I don't know personally.
 
Guys I am having this same problem no matter what I try I can not download updates or apps from the market..?? Just SBFed this morning 2 times to try and fix the problem 3g and wifi work fine


HELP!!!
 
Ok get this!!!! I logged on to the market on my pc and pushed an app to my phone and it worked but trying to download anything updated or apps from the phone fail.. WHAT THE HELL
 
I've had no resolution either. I haven't SBF'd again, but I've gone back into stock recovery and wiped data and cache and no luck. Everything show under "My Apps", but all updates and installs fail.
 
Im having these problems on stock froyo!! I sbf back to stock an tv market is screwed. I the re-sbfed and same thing then installed the non rooted gb and still have the same problem. So I sbf back to stock.. have cleared cache and data like 5 times
 
I'm the same as Geno. I'm going to SBF again tonight and see if I can get it to work. I had the same issue with my SBF. It got all the way to the end and bootlooped. So I went into stock recovery, cleared data and cache. The phone activated and everything was normal until I tried to update the apps and all downloads have failed. I've tried everything listed about and no resolution.
 
Try one of these solutions

1. Open Settings.

2. Select Applications.

3. Select Manage Applications.

4. Select Market (You may have to press Menu > Filter > All to see it)

5. Select Clear cache.

6. Back out of the screen and select Download Manager.

7. Select Clear data.

8. Also clear data for Google Apps, Google Talk, and Checkin Service.

See if downloading from the Android Market works now.

Or


1. Go into
 
I think I've finally got up an running although I'm going to have to recover a lot of apps. I tried Tom's suggestions 1 and 2. #1 didn't work for me and #2 worked for a couple of downloads and then it stopped again.

A guy on another forum suggested I go into stock recovery and do a factory reset four times and then reboot the phone. What ever that did to get my market unstuck worked. I can now download apps from the phone.
 
You need to make a another gmail account and then sbf back to .340 start your phone with that then sbf back to .340 your android_secure file got corrupted you need the market to make you a new one I fought with this for 4 days in till google finally respond. Also if the update won,t download after you in install the apps you have to go to the market web and push the apps from the site.
