Root Download from Market Still Throws Error

[CooperDuper]

Okay, I posted a few times before regarding the inability to download apps from Market after root, recovery and flash of the 01102012 BACKside IHO ROM.

I went back to the drawing board and followed all of the steps on the sticky 'Optimus V: All Things Root Guide' as noted below.

So far so good, phone boots up just fine with new ROM, I'm prompted first thing to add my Google account (which didn't happen last time because I added GAPPS after first reboot) so I'm thinking this must be why I couldn't download apps from Market on the first go around.

I add my account, phone finishes setup, everything is looking good, I add my WiFi connection, works fine. I open Contacts and see all my Google contacts, I open Market and open 'My Apps' and see apps I've purchased so I know I'm authenticated into Market okay, try to run an update on Superuser app and click Update, Accept & Download, and get the following:

Error
"Superuser" could not dowloaded due to an error.
[OK]

I get this error on any app I try to download. Thoughts... ideas??

*** INSTRUCTIONS I FOLLOWED ***

Optimus V: All Things Root Guide

Install custom recovery image

The recovery image is an alternative bootup instead of normal Android Operating System. It allows low-level operations such as backup/restore a ROM, wipe partitions, and flash ROMs.

4. Download and copy the recovery image VM670NH_recovery.img (works with new & old OV screens) onto your /sdcard.
5. Install the Flash Image GUI app (save the .apk to a /sdcard directory, then open it with file manager). Run the app & select 'Recovery Image' option with the file above.


Flash Custom ROM

[ROM][WIP] BACKside ROM (CM7) + Green Machine Theme

6. Copy the unextracted ROM .zip that you wish to install to the /sdcard dir. Also if installing a CyanogenMod Gingerbread ROM, the unextracted gapps.zip also needs to be placed in the same dir to flash right after the ROM .zip.
7. Boot into Clockworkmod recovery mode (From powered off state, hold vol-down, home, and power button until the LG logo appears).
8. FIRST, BACKUP ORIGINAL ROM! Don't continue until this is successful. Use vol-up/down, camera, & back keys to navigate in recovery.
9. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, wipe cache partition. Under Advanced submenu, wipe dalvik-cache. Then uner Mounts & Storage submenu, format all partitions EXCEPT /sdcard.
10. Flash the custom ROM.zip from sdcard and gapps.zip too if going to a CyanogenMod ROM
11. Reboot and enjoy the new ROM, the first boot takes longer than usual, also some problems may disappear after rebooting.

What rom? Did you reflash or redownload then reflash? I'd suggest you redownload the rom, from a PC if possible. Then search the forums for Andies post with the update wiper zip. I'd provide you the link, but I'm typing with one thumb with a sleeping infant in my other arm. Format (wipe, means the same thing) system, data, cache, dalvik. Run the update wiper. Flash the rom, and gapps. Then try again.

Thanks for the one thumbed sleeping infant reply (new acronym OTSIR). I really appreciate that!

ROM: 01102012 BACKside IHO

I downloaded the ROM on a computer to the root of the SD card. Last time it was in a folder that I browsed to from the phone when flashing/installing. So it was basically a new copy on the SD card.

Then I followed the instructions as noted in my original post from the sticky 'Optimus V: All Things Root Guide'. If these instructions...

9. Wipe Data/Factory Reset, wipe cache partition. Under Advanced submenu, wipe dalvik-cache. Then uner Mounts & Storage submenu, format all partitions EXCEPT /sdcard.
10. Flash the custom ROM.zip from sdcard and gapps.zip too if going to a CyanogenMod ROM
11. Reboot and enjoy the new ROM, the first boot takes longer than usual, also some problems may disappear after rebooting.

...equals "Did you reflash or redownload then reflash?" then yes I did.

I will go ahead and try the update wiper zip but I think the steps I followed manually performed that. Stay tuned for an update to see if that works or not... thanks!

And we have Market downloading. Very nice to have rooted and Gingerbread and most importantly no bloatware!!

Case closed, thanks for your help!

Okay one final question... I'm noticing I don't have any notifications from Gmail, twitter app, etc now. Is this a known issue? I tried to search but didn't see anything specific. Thoughts?

Try checking settings > accounts & sync > under manage accounts is your gmail address showing? If so, select it and then make sure 'sync gmail' is checked. I usually have to do that after updating. Not sure about your twitter, etc.

Thanks! Did the trick on Gmail. I'll dig deeper into the twitter app I'm trying out (Twicca) to see if I'm missing something in the settings.
