The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.

[flabombarda]

Guys,
I think my Market database is corrupted.
I can't install any app here.

I'm able to open the tool, browse, select the app I want to download install but when the download supposed to start the application crashes.

The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly.

I found an article to use sqlite3 hacking the database but I can't access the database:

C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools>..\tools\sqlite3.exe /data/data/com.android.vending /databases/assets15.db "SELECT package_name FROM assets10 WHERE state='DOWNLOADING'";
Error: unable to open database "/data/data/com.android.vending/databases/assets1
5.db": unable to open database file

It happened right after try to install bigdx zoom themes, all the applications were restored but it seems that the database was corrupted.
Any idea?

Thanks!

Sometimes if you go to the market in settings there is an option to uninstall the update, that works some of the times. Also, try clearing the cache and data while you are there and reboot.

[Droid-Xer]

Yup. Settings/apps/manage apps/all/market/wipe data/then retry

[flabombarda]

Wipe data and cache did not help.
I cant find the 'uninstall the update' setting.
Could you please guide me there?

[ggrant3876]

Menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all - look for market sometimes but not always it says to uninstall update. This is where you need to clear the cache and data also you can go to market updater and see if there is cachce and data there too, if not force stop it, reboot and see if that helped.

[flabombarda]

I was there, but I don't have this option to uninstall the update.
cache/data has been deleted.
Is Market updater another tool?

[flabombarda]

found market updater on system/app
ran it sucessfully but still having issues here

[ggrant3876]

Only other thing I can think of is if you have Rom Manager you can run the fix permissions script from it. If my old brain thinks of anything else I'll post more.

[ggrant3876]

If you don't have Rom Manager, you can use a terminal emulator to type the script.

su (enter)
fix_permissions (enter)
