Hello,
I need help for my new Witstech A81G. After I had to do factory reset and then flashing it, the following features do not work:
- when I go to market and try to download anything, the download stalls on "starting download"
- I also don't manage to sign into Google Talk.
(the two might be connected...?)
My specs:
- This is a Witstech A81G with full USB bought from Merimobiles in January
http://www.merimobiles.com/Witstech_A81G_New_Version_with_Full_USB_p/meri0544.htm
- It says model number MID, Android version 2.2, Kernel 2.6.32 Android MID #290, Build number MID-eng 2.2 JIEVIS eng.MID.20101124.105136 test-keys
- I have a 16GB mini SD card
- I am using it over wifi
- otherwise I am on W7 64 bits.
- Myself am quite computer proficient, but this is first time I use android.
The history how things happened (it is about 3 weeks I am fighting with it):
1> Started all fine
I got the device and it was working fine. I have set up wifi, my Google account, and checked apps.
I performed the "Witstech A81E Market full access fixed" proposed by Merimobiles, clearing cache and data, and got the Market working fully.

Then I installed few more apps, including App 2SD free, that let me move apps to my sd card.
Everything was fine, except I also installed apps for kids and let my son use it.
2> Factory reset
My son badly messed up and I could not understand much how to fiw what he did. So I thought I rather do a factory reset from the tablet, and I did (settings/privacy). This is when the trouble started.
After that, I did the market fix again, and could see all apps... but never could download any.
3> Flashing the A81
I went one step further and flashed the device, following instructions from Gadgets and tablets (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33)and using Android 2.2-1208 Firmware they propose (http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=16).
I backed up the apps I had into my PC. I used another 8GB sd card and formatted it FAT 32 using HP formatting tool (that is only difference with the described process, they say 1GB and FAT), copied the mlo file to my SD card and then other files, and flashed it into the A81G: the flash worked. I had to do recalibration, reset wifi and google accounts.
And again, no download in Market.
4> Several variation attempts
I tried different things:
- flashed again and tried another Google account
- installed WitsSetup.apk proposed by the same forum, that is supposed to optimize the device to the firmware or opposite
http://www.gadgetsandtablets.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=33
- installed z4root
In any case, and even without trying the "market access fix", I can not downlaod anything from Market.
Also, in the course of these attempts I realized my Talk does not work (I did not try before).
5> More aborted attempts
Browsing around, I realize this might be because of a wrong ID suggesting this device could not work with Market. (although it should, even in limited mode, as it didout of the factory!)
I also have on my PC a backup of froyo.zip which I think is the one originally installed. I tried to copy / paste it into android system, of course did not work.
So I would like to try the more complicate fix (changing ID) as proposed here for example
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=687371
But I run into 2 difficulties:
a> using the emulator: I don't have any keyboard access so can't type in
b> I installed Android SDK manager on my PC in order to run ADB. I installed Android SDK tools revision 9, android SDK platform tools revision 2, Google USB driver package revision 4. W>hen I connect it, I now see in my device manager under "other devices" a "A81E" with no drivers - and it does not find drivers neither in the above package nor on the web.
So I am blocked again.
6> What more?
Well... i pray for help, because without any apps this device is just useless.
I would like to manage::
- either fix market & google talk access
- or somehow retsore factory set uyp the way it was - with market access (even limited).
Note that I am with limited capacities, since:
- I dont have many programmes on and can't download anything from Market (though I have the backup of few Witstech original appps)
- I can't type into the emulator nor got ADB to work.
I hope you can support me or this device will be thrown through the window without even beeing used 1 full week.
Thanks
Agnes

Hi, you seem to have tried everthing except using the firmware from the official Witstech web site?
This might be worth a try.
Go to http://www.witstech.net/forum/showthread.php?p=1#post1 & download the correct format tool hpusbfw.rar. Format your sd card to FAT
Then go to http://witstech.net/download.html & down load the correct firmware for your tablet. Follow the correct proceedure to flash the device. Best of luck.
Maybe the MarketEnabler would help? Google said before use the market, user should login the Gtalk once.
better follow #2 suggestions, reflash the official firmware
Hey there.
I just flashed CM7 RC2 via Clockworkmod Recovery 2.5.07 and everything worked out. (wiped Data, Cache & Dalvik).
I noticed that all of the Google Apps were missing so i rebooted the Phone. Now at least the Market showed up. After setting up my google account a prompt showed up which asked which Google Apps i want do download (via Market).
I had no Wifi COnnection so i skipped the installation. Afterwards i downloaded the newest gapps.zip from cyangogenwiki and flashed it via Recovery but the Google Apps such as Maps, Gmail etc wont show up in the App Drawer.
Any ideas?
(excuse my poor english. hope you got what i was trying to say)
hmm, i guess i got it all wrong. The gapps.zip ist just the core librarie so the market is able to work. And the mentioned prompt should be doin the rest.
for me (Germany) Gmail wont be installed so i switched back to GingerVillain 1.6
Sad that there was no reply at all...
... , as I got the same problem about 1 year and 2 weeks later.
I am writing here to this old thread because - likely - somebody else will have the problem and shall get an idea on what is causing it (and maybe find the solution here) ...
and as the forum is abused as a documentation tool and not as a communication tool and stuff is not written into the wiki (which is indeed a documentation tool...)
The actual situation is (from my maybe faulty understanding) that the GApps-Packages only contain those apps/libs which cannot be aquired by download from Google Market/Play Store.
Your and my problem is, that we are not allowed to download GMail from the Market/Play Store because of:
This item cannot be installed in your device's country

(exact quote cut out of the market's html code).
I will try to post information as I get it on how to solve this. Most likely a german Android forum will contain a solution to this obstacle.
Hey guys,
i know you won´t like to hear that question, but I am trying to fix that issue for 2 days now but nothing works.
At first, I don´t know too much about all that stuff, but I tried to flash another ROM on my GT540 anyway. Obviously that didn´t work out to good.
The last ROM i flashed on my phone was V20B_00.kdz. I also reset it numerous times. I tried to use different usernames to log in to my google account at the phone. However, when I start the phone I get the fault
"System UIDs Inconsistent: UIDs on the system are inconsistent, you need to wipe your data partition or your device will be unstable. >> I´m feeling lucky"
When I click "I´m feeling lucky" I get the next fault
"Sorry! The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. >> Force close"
I get the second fault every time I try to start the Market. A market update didn´t work. I installed an alternative Market, still get the same fault. When I try to download the apps at my Laptop and put it on my SD card of the phone to install it, I get the fault
"Parse Error. There is a problem parsing the package. >> OK"
I tried to install an App to fix that first fault. I think it was ROM_Manager_5.0.0.1. But I get that Parse fault.
I might have changed the memory space for the system with one ROM that I had flashed to the phone. I am not sure about it. I have seen that this might be an issue for some system apps when the system partition would be too small.
I also updated my phone with LG Mobile Support Tool. So I flashed it, reset it, updated it, and now have no idea what do to, as I am not the biggest expert in that.
Help would be great. Thank you.
I have an ATOTO A6 headunit and its awesome minus I cannot install my patched version of Pandora. (Mainly for the DL feature)
The radio came with Pandora pre-installed. I have uninstalled the app, cannot find it in app directory.
I did notice when I uninstalled from Google Play (just trying different uninstall approaches) it asked to remove Updates and Restore to Factory Version.
The options were either OK or CANCEL so I chose OK - assuming this is what is causing the issue, however unsure how to move forward.
I have attached an image of the install error I am getting. I used SAI Installer to get a more descriptive reason, the basic error was "App Not Installed."
I have turned off Google Play Protect, Enabled Unknown Sources, Cleared Cache, Factory Reset, Tried Various APK Installer apps, really cant figure this one out.
If all possible I am trying to avoid changing anything to the device unless rooting is simple process.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again!!
Hello all,
I'm trying to install the Aurora Store directly from https://auroraoss.com to my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T311) but I'm having some trouble with it.
Once the apk is downloaded I am unable to install it - I get the error message "Can't open file" - please see screenshots 1 and 2.
That's using the Android stock browser, but I tried with Firefox too and it gave the same error.
However, I am able to download the same version of Aurora store from an apk site like Apk Mirror and this will install ok - please see screenshot 3.
I am able to install an alternative equivalent App store e.g. Apptoide directly from their website without problem - see screenshot 4.
Finally, as shown in screenshot 5, the file downloaded from Auroraoss.com shows in File Manager as an unknown file type, but the same apk from an alternative source is recognised as an installable apk for Android, as shown by the icons displayed.
It seems to me that the file downloaded from Auroraoss.com is not triggering the Packet Installer (or being recognised by it), on this device for some reason.
I have already enabled/allowed installation of apps from unknown sources. But maybe I am missing something else, another setting??
Also FYI, my tablet is running Android Nougat 7.1.2 (Lineage OSS 14.1).
I tried running some other custom roms but got the same result.
Just to be clear: of course I know can install Aurora Store from alternate sources as I explained above, but I would much prefer and feel safer to download it direct from original source at Auroraoss.com. Apart from that it's just annoying and a little bit worrying that it mysteriously does not work for some strange weird reason.
Any ideas why this might be happening or what I can do to fix it?
Would appreciate any advice!
Cheers
Dave
