How to restore/fix Market on Samsung Galaxy S after 2.2 Froyo update
Ok, so it seems that the current version of the 2.2 Froyo update for the Galaxy S removes the Market application for some users. Fortunately, this is very easy to fix.
If you have Astro or another file manager installed:
- Go to the folder /system/app and then select and install Vending.apk
If you do not have a file manager installed:
- Download the SDK if you do not already have it.
- Go into the tools subfolder of your SDK-directory.
- Run “adb pull /system/app/Vending.apk” to copy the Market application from the phone.
- Finally, run “adb install Vending.apk” to install the application.
After reinstalling the Market application, I initially had some problems with it crashing. This was solved by rebooting the phone, and Market has worked perfect since then.
Thanks! this is a lovely application for the android i9000! can i use the same way to install market to other phones as well? pls inform?
Thanks
Ellham.
