[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeva316:
Well I want to thank you for replying with such info but it seems that the recovery image file that I reinstalled on the phone was bad cause when it was updating the bar was going up but as it was going through each item it was updating.. I noticed "bootloader in red letters" with I believe saying "error" next to it and then same on another item it tried updating then the phone powered off and now it's dead, tried everything, no charging light comes on, computer (2 different computers) wont reconize it, it's doing nothing at all, I will try to get my hands on another battery but I am broke, but I doubt it's the battery cause I heard with a bootloader error (or damaged) then the phone won't boot up or do anything so I guess the phone is scrap for parts which sucks cause now my friend who started this deal killed my only phone me n my family had, another lesson learned...time to try n sell some stuff on craigslist..damn

Yes it's a Droid Eris...or was! damnnnn...

Again thank you for your help very much appreciated...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeva316:
Wish I would of read this part before I let my friend re-load the "PB00IMG.ZIP" cause thats exactly what he loaded and then it started the process what I jus described above..f***k!

Be aware that one or two people that were in situations that are very close to what you described ended up bricking their phones because they went from where you are now to attempting to use either a PB00IMG.ZIP ROM, or an RUU utility. Their phones went from bootable (in the way that yours is now) to bricks in that process.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, I am very sorry that this happened to you and my advice to you didn't reach you in time. From the details that you added, I am pretty sure that you indeed have a hard brick.

BUT - the death of your Eris can still help others avoid the same fate. If you can reconstruct the rooting process you went through,

[SIZE=+2]PLEASE LET US KNOW EXACTLY WHAT ROOTING METHOD YOU USED[/SIZE] - and then we can wave people away from it.

When I say exactly, I mean extremely specific: do you still have the download file that you used? If so, push it up to an uploader site and give a link to it. (I think you mentioned unrevoked or something). Do you still have the exact link you used to download that rooting software? Was it Unrevoked? Z4root?

[Android Software Development] Charm8er:
I have a proposition for any developer that's up to it. I need to build an app for Directv (also Dish in the future) technicians. It will include the following features:

-Contact list with important DTV contacts, with the option to add custom contacts for supervisors, etc.

-Browser add-on or mod of some kind that will allow the use of the camera as a barcode scanner to populate fields within the browser.

-Spreadsheet or something that can use camera with barcode scan to keep track of inventory, it will need an option to save a file every day and be able to email it to the desired recipient.

-Spreadsheet to keep track of jobs completed and amounts to be paid.

-Expense tracker that will be able to take pic of receipts, input and track mileage, and other expenses.

-Satellite finder, there is already an app out there called Dish Pointer Pro, it uses the camera to show you approx. position of satellites in the sky. If we can build something similar only geared only for Directv satellites, that would be great. If not maybe just a shortcut to that app.

-List or rather searchable database (maybe on a webserver if file size is an issue) of all Directv remote control codes for TV, DVD, etc.

-Flashlight

I will be selling this app in the market and will split profits 50-50 with the developer for as long as they continue to develop and support it.

I can do the graphics in photoshop (I am a amateur web designer but I am pretty good) and all of the marketing for this software via my Installation supply website at www.lcisupply.co and word of mouth to other installation companies here in AZ.

I will also be developing PC software and a Web Interface for supervisors to log into and check on inventory and expenses etc. to go along with it in the near future.

My goal is to develop an all-around software suite, that will make the technicians jobs easier and also help the installation companies keep track of inventory and pay for their techs. The android app is just the beginning of what I hope will become a widely used technician management system.

Please ask any questions you may have.

PM me for serious interest in becoming the developer.

Bump
[Gen8 General] pcfixitguy:
I have an Archos 101 with firmware 2.1.04 and I've installed the Android Market via the gAppsInstaller app. However, when I try to add a Google Account, I get this error message:

"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"

I can sign into my Google account through the web browser without any problem. I've tried re-initializing the tablet, reinstalling the gAppsInstaller app, and I've also tried installing the Android Market with the Arctools app available in Appslib. And I've tried force stop/clear data on the google applications listed in Manage Applications.

Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions for fixing it? I would really like to get the Market and Gmail working on my Archos 101. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Gen8 General] daveid:
Same here, something must be down. Try again later...

Sucks to be us.
[Gen8 General] pcfixitguy:
Ahh, ok. Just got the 101 today, thought I had borked something up. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try again tomorrow.
[Gen8 General] n8hack:
Had the same issue with my droid.

My droid required a factory reset to fix this problem. According to google its an issue with the settings.db file that stores your account info.

I've been playing with my new 101 all evening trying to get it to work and have had the same results as you.

I tried rooting with z4root to delete the .db file but it doesn't work either.

su and sudo don't exist in a shell. With my un-rooted droid typing su would produce "permission denied." not "command not found."

I don't think this is a server issue... although I could be wrong. I think its an issue with the app's not being able to read or write to settings.db

"data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" in case anyone wants to try something with it.

I also haven't had any luck connecting the thing to adb... but I'm going to try another machine not running ubuntu 10.10 as I've been reading there are a lot of issues with the SDK and 10.10 for some reason. Anyway good luck and if I find a fix I'll post it here.
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
Yes, I'm having the same problem! It has nothing to do with the tablets or accounts. I tried a fresh install and multiple accounts and none worked. This is something on Google's end.

Edit: @n8hack - z4root doesn't work with Archos after firmware 2.0.54.
[Gen8 General] pokho:
I have the same problem too!! Help!!
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
Thank GOD it's not just me..

I just got my Archos 101 last night and spent hours and hours resetting, formatting, installing firmware via USB etc.. only to come up with the same results.

Anyone with some advice would be greatly appreciated.

(P.S. Thanks to n8hack for testing)
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
This is very frustrating. It is a problem for everyone trying to add NEW Google accounts to their tablet. People are starting to post about this over at the ArchosFans forum also. This just started to be a problem on the 14th. :(

I've tried almost all of the tricks I've found in forums, but none seem to help.. I'm still looking for a solution.

Edit: I put a post up on Google's support forum:

http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=09fe078b281b2f2a&hl=en
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
I have my 101 rooted.

In terminal, after i type "su" without quotes I get the # prompt (rooted w/ su access)

then I type (without quotes) "ls data/data/" and com.google.android.providers.settings is not listed.

So i try (again, without quotes) "ls data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/" (to get a list of what's in there) and I get a "not found" error.

now either I typed it wrong, or that particular directory doesn't exist (just my amateurish guess... I'm not very fluent w/ android/linux command line at all)

Hope this helps
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
Would it help to revert to a previous firmware for the time being until a solution becomes evident ?

I really miss my gmail :/

Thanks for your efforts BTW. They are appreciated.
[Gen8 General] wdl1908:
Maybe this is the cause see the post on Archosfans http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=48381&p=328056#p328056

I have not had the problem myself but it sounds reasonable.
[Gen8 General] nochedelmono:
My market stopped working last night after unfixing the market to revert to the original state. I have re-fixed, tried a full reset and reinstalled gappsv5-final, tried a different (new) account, reset date/time and nothing works. If you have the market working, beware of unfixing/fixing as this is what killed mine. This is really terrible! but at least I know I am not alone.
[Gen8 General] enrimobile85:
I've got the same problem, since this morning. Yesterday, it was all ok (also refixing Market).

This morning I reformatted my device (Archos 70 It), then I downloaded Arctools from AppsLib and I installed Market. But there is no way to add Google Account to my Archos... :mad:
[Gen8 General] d31b0y:
Some people over in the Nook forums seem to be having the same issues.

Early reports that the following works as a workaround. Dunno if it'll work on the Gen 8 devices though.

Really looks like a google server issue to me.

Holy crap! I just kept restoring stuff with Titanium Backup and POOF! I got this thing.

The last time I tried it, I disabled WIFI, and restored my data for G-Talk, Market & GSF. Rebooted, accepted the location dialog, and turned on wifi. Now it works!
[Gen8 General] nickwarn:
There is a fix for this in the Gtab forum. Just install market enabler and fake t-mobile NL (thats what i used) might work with other operators. I had tryed all day on my AdventVega. I just did this and it worked. Thanks to the guys in Gtab forum. Its the sticky thread
[Gen8 General] pcfixitguy:
I tried using the market enabler app, but all I get is a "Houston we have a problem" error message when I try to fake any provider.
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
Thanks all for the suggestions..

Youtube method doesn't work

Time and Date are correct

Market Enabler didn't work

I'll try restoring with Titanium.
[Gen8 General] daveid:
If you have a good Titanium Backup, restore Accounts, Google Services Framework, Market and Google Talk. REBOOT before attempting to access the Market.

I was able to get mine working this way, I was then able to modify my build.prop and gain access to all apps (finally!!).
[Gen8 General] nochedelmono:
Any solutions for non-root users (i.e., those without market enabler or titanium backup)? I really hope that we non-root users are not locked out forever.
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
Thank you daveid!!!

Okay! I restored the Market from my Titanium backup and it worked!

I restored Market 2.2.11 App&Data

I restored Market Updater 1.0 Data

I restored Google Services Framework 2.2.1 Data

Then rebooted.

I had to find my wifi connection again.. maybe a good idea to disable wifi first.

I still had to enter my Google account email and password, but this time no errors.

So this will help anyone with a Titanium backup.. sorry not a solution for everyone.

[Gen8 General] daveid:
Non-rooted users may have to wait for Google to fix whatever is wrong with the checkin server.
[Gen8 General] jsperri:
Same here ;(

I had some hopes at first, as logging into Youtube worked and Market started a bit differently by first showing the TOS page then it failed and brought back the "Add a Google Account" page, which did not work, failing again with "Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server"
[Gen8 General] maxuros:
Desperate to use the market droid !!!!!

Thanks for posting I thought it was the only one, well I hope the problem is resolved. if anyone knows of any solution please comment :o
[Gen8 General] Xiodor:
Hiya,

Having the same problem with the Advent Vega (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=954851&page=3)

Do you guys using the other google apps (calendar, talk etc) on the archos have any boot problems? My vega got into a bootloop so I had to reflash - we think it may be a result of this google problem (since they were installed and looking for account access?).

Now I reflashed and am stuck with stock android w/o google apps - installed market and getting the "cannot establish a reliable data connection" message.

Had a look at the web-market, but would appear you need google talk running in order to download anything from there - still requiring the google account :S

Will let you know if we have any developments on the google account front :)

EDIT: Really wish I had the fore-thought to install titanium backup lol

Cheers,

Xio
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
I'm rooted, I just got my 101, I do not have a titanium backup.

Any suggestions ?? I've not yet been able to get it to work. "can't establish a reliable connection etc. "

Thanks
[Gen8 General] CyberPitz:
I'm happy to know I'm not the only one!!! This was driving me completely and utterly crazy. Just got my Archos 101 yesterday, so haven't really been able to do anything with it yet......
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
Ok, I MAY have found a workaround...

What I did (and it worked FWIW):

I went to androidzoom.com and found myself an app that I wanted (textfree) and sent it to the email that I wanted to use on my tablet.

Then I used the tablet's browser, went to gmail, clicked the link and it asked for my gmail sign in.

After i entered my credentials, I'm at least able to search the market (by following the link that was sent to my email) and I now show the email account is synced to the tablet..

I'm still messing w/ it all but we just might have found a way to snaggle it and make it work..

If this works for you, please hit Thanks :)

EDIT 1: after having trouble searching the market, I re-booted my device. Now the market loads properly, however there are a ton of apps not showing up (yet).. but at least it loads now. I have done a clear cache, then force stop, then reboot to see where it gets me.
[Gen8 General] SprigganMaster:
Hello eveyone!

I got the same problem but I was able to solve it.

With a fresh firmware install, here what I did on my archos 43:

1- Install gappsinstaller v5 final

2- Install youtube apk (I can share it if you need it)

3- Sign in to youtube

First time I got a crash, second time it worked.

4- Launch market and I was able to signin

5- Apply market fix and reboot

Good luck!
[Gen8 General] CyberPitz:
Well, I am finally downloading an app!!! I did exactly what you did, and I'm able to hop into the Market and find apps finally. Things are starting to finally work......
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
I did manage to find, download and install Gmail.. and it works :D

NOW, I'm working on editing my build.prop file to make it appear as though it's a galaxy tab.. THEN I think we can see all the apps...

Wish me luck.

IF this all works, I'll write up a guide..

wish me luck :)
[Gen8 General] pcfixitguy:
I just turned on my Archos 101 tonight and tried adding my Google account and it worked! Google must have done something on their end, because I haven't made any changes to my Archos 101.
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
I swear I've been trying all evening and couldn't get it..

at any rate, have you edited a build.prop file before ??

I'm stuck .. never done it and want to replicate the fingerprint of the Gtab.

Thanks
[Gen8 General] Hypershadsy:
Thank you so much, market works completely

What I did, in detail:

Went to androidzoom on PC

Selected Textfree

Emailed it to my Gmail

Opened up Android's browser

Went to mail.google.com and logged in

Clicked the link from androidzoom

Took me to the account hook screen (from the browser??)

Entered in my creds

Success! All items can be downloaded and installed
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
Can you find and install textfree ??? how about zeam launcher ??

Just wondering.. these apps are still eluding me..

I'm wanting to edit my build.prop file but i have NO clue how to do that.. I'd love to have the Gtab fingerprint..

sigh...
[Gen8 General] jsperri:
Everything is back to normal here as well, Market is installing fine again with ArcTools.

daddymikey1975, zeam launcher is not listed by default on the Market, but gets visible after doing a Market fix
[Gen8 General] daddymikey1975:
Market fix got me all fixed up.. clearing the data on google framework is the step i was missing..

thanks a TON folks.. Glad they got this all fixed.. and I have NO idea if my findings helped at all, but hey, the crap all works now :)
[Gen8 General] Tesla74:
Cool! I'm glad the market is back up for everyone!
[Gen8 General] Hypershadsy:
I didn't need to, it spit me out in the market anyway.

After using market for a while I searched "textfree" in the market but it doesn't appear, and using the barcode results in "no search results for 'pname:com.pinger.textfree'".

Ah well. I've gotten 6 other apps perfectly fine and I don't intend on using this one... Haven't tried "zeam launcher" but I'm in a bit of a hurry.

I know this may be a dumb question but my phone is zippy fast except for messaging. I have lag fix and am using ultimate droid. Is having about 4500 sms and some mms causing the slowdown in messaging or am i missing something? Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRide113:
Yes this is the exact reason why. It's about time to delete your messages and start over. You can also set message limits in the message settings.

I set mine to:

Text message limit - 500 messages per conversation

Multimedia message limit - 20 messages per conversation

And usually this works perfectly for me. No lag at all when entering the message app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veedub1991:
I have mine set to 450 for text and 20 for MMS. And i only have lag since copying my messages over to 2.2. I had no problem on 2.1 with the exact same number of messages.

Why would you bother to come on the Internet to post if your gonna hate?... {Edit: good to see the hateful post's deleted}

The basic principle of it is pretty great actually; I'd love to have a couple of my songs (per say) featured in a app that can be deleted, instead of having people download my song's & then have it get lost in their folders. They can delete it if they hate it with ease, or have a link in the app to your iTunes/Music page if they like it.

Can I just say that if you don't want feedback or opinions, constructive or otherwise, then a forum really isn't the place to be announcing your app.

I thought this forum was a place devs/users could gain feedback and discuss apps, if you aren't prepared to take the good with the bad then why post?
