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

What if that makes things worse Anguished_Face

I do not think that it will make anything worse. You are just reinstalling the application. It’s up to you to do it or not.

Ya but Android Market is a google stuff. I won't be affected by a SE update.

No dice.

Still stuck on "Starting download"

I tried to uninstall Market updates. No luck

I tried to do a software update. No luck.

Any ideas? I think I'll try download an Android Market APK and then try installing that.

I notice the SE website has version 2.10.11.10 software update, will this update fix this problem?

That sounds like the android update. can you post a link? I can't see it on the mainsite.

I just thought, it's probably not available everywhere yet.

Oh that's the update service. When i saw the 2.10 i thought it was Android! Crying_Face Guess it's in prep for the 2.1 update.
