    Default paid apps issues on rooted phone


    Hey guys this mornining a succesfully rooted my g1 but now I cannot buy any paid apps from the market!! It tells me to go to checkout.google.com to fix it but that was no help, earlier this was working fine but now even my already purchased apps fail to download.. free apps work fine though.

    Has any one found a fix for this issue

    Long shot, which you probably have already tried: did you do menu > settings > applications > check "unknown sources"?

    Its not that I can't see the paid apps I can see them all its just my card doesn't seem to go through anymore and I can't get to the payment screen where you can pick the card it just hangs and fails. I already tried factory resetting and it didn't work is there anyway I can just manually put my card info back?

    Ok I figured out the problem it seems I'm having the same problem all the other frustrated root users arehaving the reason why my apps arnt installing is because they arnt in MY market anymore. Hmm I hope google fixes this soon for us powerusers. I'm just happy I can still download most apps there's nothing I can't have right now that is worth losing my root access over

    I'm rooted and i can download and install the paid apps, maybe ya'll problem is the firmware build. Upgrade to jfrc33 and make sure you have firmware 1.1

    Rooted users cannot download apps that are "protected" with the "Copy Protection Feature".

    Not all paid apps use the Copy Protection Feature, mostly because it sucks, and does not actually protect anything. It causes Force Close errors all over the place. All it really does is prevent those with rooted phones (modded G1's and ADP1's alike) from downloading the apps.

    I also had this problem after trying to move cache to SD, I managed to get my phone rooted again and could see all my Apps but the paid Apps just said purchased not installed, I just kept trying to download the purchased apps using my wifi connection and it worked in the end, I think it has problems at times using your mobile service connection.
