Let me explain,...

I decided to Root my Samsung Fascinate and it worked! I loved the results. I downloaded a root app called system app uninstaller. Good idea!... Bad execution on my part. Being a newbie I started deleting system apps WITHOUT backing them up. DUMBASS!! right??

Well anyway it actually worked out great! Except for 1 thing..... My Android Market will no longer download. it remains stuck at "downloading" yet in never does.

After reading several forum posts, it is to my understanding that i messed up by deleting Gtalk.apk, GtalkService.apk & Gtalkserviceprovier.apk.
Im guessing The Market uses Gtalk to push downloads. Well,.... whats done is done,... I messed up! I can only download apps through the browser in apk Dumps.


I should receive 2.2 Froyo from Verizon soon. Will updating renew my gtalk and complete market access?

Also I tried downloading Gtalkservice.apk and once on my phone it says "Parse error: There is a problem parcing your package" wth? lol

Can anyone answer my question, offer advice and/or provide me with a solution?

Thank you!
 
To fix your problem, you're going to have to go back to stock. Follow the instructions and use the software here.

This will fix your market problems. You will need to root again, but that's not so difficult.

Also, you should know that getting the 2.2 update to install on your Fascinate will require the stock recovery image, which you no longer have. Don't worry though, it won't take long for dev's to release an update that you can flash and get 2.2 without losing root, or having to flash the stock recovery.
