hello. i'd like to start by saying thank yu to everyone in this forum, for yu have helped tremendously throughout my time with my droid problems. i've never posted because i've never had reason to... until today...

i was trying to replace my market app [vending.apk] on my phone, and for some stupid reason i thought it would be easy to do it by deleting my market [vending.apk]. not only that, but along with thee marketupdater.apk. and w/o backup. [shoot me in the head.]

i've tried installing vending.apk's thru adb.. push commands.. and so on..
i'm hoping somebody can help me get it back. i would be ever so grateful.
i have a rooted motorola droid 2.2 frg22d. i pray someone can help.

thanks for your time in reading this, if not your help.

 

thank you people. i had already tried [Frisco]'s method, with no success. i would always get the fail with [no certificates] as the reason. but last night i found success in a method i made up.
i seen that the vending.apk [market] had two files in the /system/app/ folder; a [.apk] file and [.odex] file. so i figured i needed both. i couldnt find a [.odex] vending file anywhere, so what i did was make a copy of the [.apk] vending file and renamed it to [vending.odex]. i tried to install it right after that, and no success. so i went to sleep, woke up the next morning; rebooted my phone.. and with no need of installation or anything, the market was there!
it works like new. i've downloaded apps and updated some already.
so my droid world is okay again. ;]
