For unroot android device

2. Go to settings > applications > manage applications > select all > market
3. Click Force Closed
4. Click Uninstall Updates
5. Try to download the application again

If the application still can not to download after do the steps above, reboot your android device everytime this problem occure.
There`s no way to completely fix this problem if your device still unroot. well … just wait until google fix this bug.

• Method II : Using Script
  Install script 01newcache
