Missing Market

[gacg2d]

I upgraded my eris to the gingerbread 2.3 and now the market is missing. I've gone into my applications and it's not there at all. My phone won't download anything on the internet anymore either, and I see no place to set up email like I had before. There's no way to log into Google. There's practically nothing on my phone anymore and the camera just takes blank white pictures. Does anyone know how to fix any of this or at least get the market? I've read rave reviews about the update, so I know some people must be able to get it to work!

gapps-mdpi-20101228-signed.zip
^^That is the Gapps pack for KaosGingerbread. Download it and flash it like a ROM.

I downloaded it from the PC to the SD card and when I put it back in the phone it didn't find that file when I was in recovery. Where do I save it/find it at?

It needs to be in the root of your SD card, just like your ROM. If your phone still doesn't see it, try to shorten the name... gapps.zip would work.

I've saved it on there, and it's in the same place as the other ROM, but it still won't show up once it's on my phone.

1. Power up your phone by holding down the Volume Up button and pressing Power to reboot into recovery mode.
   (If Volume Up + Power does not work for you, try Volume Down + Power and when prompted to do so in the HBOOT screen, select “Recovery” by pressing Volume Up)
2. Scroll and press trackball to select “Flash zip from sdcard.”
3. Scroll and press trackball to select “gapps.zip.”
4. Scroll and press trackball to select “Reboot system” once the rootme.zip has been successfully flashed.

I just checked the file, and it needs to be flashed.

That's exactly what I've been doing, but it's not there. When I plug the SD card into the computer, it is there tho.

Just for the heck of it, do you have ASTRO file manager? Im wondering if you named it gapps.zip.zip? Hidden extensions in windows does that every once in a while. Other than that, Im at a loss.

I used to, but since I upgraded to the 2.3 all of my apps are gone, so no I don't anymore. I finally got it to show up, and I installed it from recovery and it said it was successful, but I don't see anything different on my phone and I still don't have my market. Is there another step I need to take?

 

[Bob Dammit]

No, should just be a reboot.
