Help Help with Error (-101)

since i used odin to get the GB update, everything has worked fine except for one thing. When I try to download apps from the market, I'll click accept and download and the following message will pop up:

Error

"APP_NAME" could not be downloaded due to an error. (-101)

app_name is a blanket term for any app i've tried to download, kinda like an (insert name here) thing

Anyway, a few apps did download over night, but i can't seem to figure it out or find any info of what to do. Is there any advice?

I am rooted now, but the error was pre root and it didn't affect rooting through shabby's one click method.

Try: menu, settings, applications, then scroll down till you find the market and select it. Then choose clear data and reboot. See if that works. I had that issue a while back and that worked for me.

Thanks for the advice. I tried it once but it didn't change anything. I'll try a few other times but other ideas would be nice.
 
Well I just did the factory data reset under settings>privacy and it seems to be working now. It seems that the phone was still accessing the older version of the market (at least from the appearance) and now it has the more standard android market skin so I'm assuming that's the reasoning behind my issues. Just means I have to fix all my settings again;)

Any other ideas at what was up? or others may find this solution to work for them as well

And now it's back to the other skin of the stock version, but at least it's still working so I'm stumped but am glad it's working.
 
If you have CloWorkMod Recovery on your phone, you could boot into that go to: andvanced>Wipe Dalvik>Yes. See if that helps. I have heard it has worked for others.
