I just completed upgrading my Samsung Captivate to 2.2. Per the instructions, I backed up all my apps and data before I did it, using MyBackup Pro.
After completing the upgrade I went to restore my apps, only to discover that it wouldn't work. It failed with an error message saying "For security reasons, this phone has been configured so you can only install apps from the Marketplace."
Worse yet, when I went to the marketplace, it doesn't seem to recognize any of the apps I purchased, and so I will have to buy them all again, or contact each publisher individually.
I can't be the only one that encountered this, what's the solution?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Also that disabled for security reasons is only an AT&T policy. All of the other carriers have the unknown sources available.

I have two google apps accounts. I logged them into the phone in a different order after the upgrade. To fix it, I had to erase all user data, reboot, and login in the same order as I did under 2.1.
