My X10 Mini Can't Download Apps from the Android Market

OK guys, here's the deal

I rooted my phone a few days ago to remove all the useless apps that the phone comes with. I basically got ride of a code reader, some stupid games, and a bunch of "trial version" applications.

I just noticed now that I can't download apps from the Android Market anymore, and this is probably what caused it. Everything else on my phone still works perfectly.

When I try to download an app from the Android Market, I select the app to be downloaded, press "Install", then press "OK" when it gives me the list of what the app has access to.  Once I press "OK" a popup appears that says "Your Item Will be Downloaded". That's it. Nothing appears in the notification bar, and the download doesn't go at all.

So I guess my question is... what would I have deleted to cause this problem? I unrooted my phone again since. Maybe a google app or something? And if so, I need the APK for it!

Yeah, yeah I was an idiot, I know. Don't mention it.

Here's what I've tried so far after searching this issue:

- Cleared the cache and updates for all Google-related apps

- Restarted phone

Thanks

Dirk

What not try re-installing the software update.

I have the same problem trying to download apps from the market via my WiFi. The apps just stay on 'Starting download'

Hmmm, how would one do that exactly? I'm a total phone noob lol.

Have you tried to download anything today... just seen on another forum that someone reported that its fixed. Maybe they just got lucky. Let us know anyway.

Under manage applications, the only option I have under 'Market Updater' is 'Force Stop', the other 2 options, 'Clear Cache' and 'Clear Defaults' are greyed out

Do you get any error message when you try to download an application? If you get one then please share it with us.

No, I don't an error message

I select 'install' on an application, it will appear under my 'Downloads' and it just remains on 'Starting Download' with the status bar, but nothing downloads and the status bar never changes

Well then, I am not sure what the problem is. Do you have bluetooth file transfer software or any other file explorer software that can look into your phone memory? If you have one then go to System> App and find Android Market apk file and try installing it once again.
