Hello Members,
Maybe someone can help me:
2 Months ago i installed Market Access because I wanted to use Google Wallet (not available in germany).
If i search for Android Updates (now using 4.0.3) the phone says yes there is a update but if i download the updatefile and try to install, phone says "wrong update file, installation aborted".
Could it be that Market Access also affects which Updatefiles are downloaded???
If yes, is there any possibilty to switch back to normal?
I already deleted Market Access, but the problem still exists...
Thanks in advance!
Daniel
Before you removed market enabler, did you switch back to your region?

ok, so I got a new HTC Desire HD from my fathers company when we moved to China not so long ago. But the phone had a pre-installed chinese version of Android 2.2.1, which don't even have a app market.
Is there a way to get get google play on it? It's a bit annoying to always search around to find a .apk file of the app you want, download it to the computer, send it do the phone and hence install it.
This would help a lot.
Thank you in advance.
You could always just download the play store .apk
There are 2 at the bottom of the page, either a modified one or the original .apk

Nothing, you need to make your device not look like it is in China or a China version as the google market is blocked in China and on China based devices

And how should I do this? Would a VPN work?

Apparently you need to install the modified version in the link i posted, and when prompted to overwrite select yes
Download the modded .APK file
Connect your device to your computer.
Place the .APK on your device, but don’t use adb install; it won’t work since the Google Play Store is already installed
Open the .APK with a file explorer of your choosing, and install. When prompted as to whether you wish to replace the current Google Play Store app, you select “Yes”.
After a short installation process, that’s all. Your are now able to access unrestricted Play Store app.
Still not working ...

Ok, so I have now successfully rooted my phone, and installed the modded version of Google Play, but still, when I'm trying to launch the application it says; "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.)
Could this be because of a too old Android version (running 2.2.1)? Should I install a custom ROM?
If you are rooted, that seems like the next logical step. There are several 'stock' or 'near-stock' ROMs, as well as many 'modded' to choose from, based on gingerbread (2.3.4, 2.3.5, 2.3.6, 2.3.7). Most ICS are still incomplete although pretty functional.. Work in progress is the phrase they use. Must warn that once you start ROM swapping, it gets quite addictive

Thank you, I finally got the google plus app to work
But after flashing a new ROM, I got a new problem (as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1636999) anyone here got any tips for how to fix this .. ? : )
I recently rooted my Desire Z but now Google play won't install apps (When I attempt to install anything it always says "no connection" even after retrying) and also it won't recognize my already purchased apps, The only way I found to temporarily get rid of this problem is to select "Uninstall updates" to get it back to the old market that came with the ROM, Then it will both install and recognize my purchased apps until it automatically updates itself to Google play and then it it starts having those problems again!
Can anyone help me with this?
P.S. I already rooted my phone once before (And then had to get it replaced due to a hardware problem) and back then it didn't have this problem!
Hi, I just got myself an HTC One M8 today. Bought it here in Beijing, China, at a China Unicom store. Turns out they call it M8w, but it should, as far as I know, be very similar to the official Asian version (it has a 2.5 GHz CPU and both FDD-LTE and TDD-LTE). Google Play Store was not installed, so I'm trying to get it installed.
I tried installing Google Play Store using the "Google installer" app by Eric Xiang, mostly used for Xiaomi phones, but basically it's an app to download APK files manually and install them.
So far I've gotten Gmail and Google Translate to work without problems after installing it from the Google installer, but Google Play Store fails to start with a message saying "No connection" and a "Retry" button. This is probably because Google Services Framework (a dependency of Play Store) crashes after installation.
Any suggestions on what I should do? Do I need to root and put in a non-Chinese ROM?
Thanks in advance!
For the M8t, there is a easier way for Google Play service (gmail, map... etc),
Just search "GMS安装器" from HTC App store or Baidu App store. Then you are good to go.
For anybody that's interested, I didn't manage to get all Google apps running properly, so several months ago I flashed in this system dump instead. (I unlocked the bootloader and flashed it in using a utility I don't remember the name of, but I will look it up and update this post if I remember it.)
Haven't noticed any issues so far except for that I don't seem to be able to update anything OTA. But I guess that might be normal?

hey i have the m8w but with google play installed i bought it reconditioned but the camera isnt all that clear. can you help me out
Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

Hi buddies,
1. Do you have any success regarding installig Google apps on Chinese version (M9wp)?
2. May be someone knows how to replace chinese search engine Hidi with google search?
Hi,
Download this GMS from the stock app market (see photo)
Install
Run the app, let it download the package and install it (without SD card)
Reboot the phone
After the reboot I had all the Gapps but most weren't working because the G play services version was not updated,
I downloaded the latest version, installed it than something weird happened, using a VPN of course, I wasn't able to download all the updates of the Gapps while I was able to download any other app from the play store, this for a couple of days while I was looking for a solution, than the third day, without me doing anything I was able to download them and now I have the play store version for all the Gapps and they work
About G search I just put a widget on the home and hid the Chinese hidi
Sent from my HTC M9pw using XDA Free mobile app
Thank you very much for a detailed information.
What do you think will I need vpn anyway while I'm already in Europe now?
( Already solved this issue)
I have installed GMS. After first run also.downloaded 190mb app package and when I'm trying to open app again to install google apps some chinese warning are popping up.
Well since Google is blocked nowhere but China you shouldn't need a VPN connection, cannot say more than that since haven't used mine outside China,yet.
the first pop up says that you have downloaded the package and asks you if you want to install it,
The second tells you that you have to restart the phone to complete the installation.
Great!
Everything works as you promised.
