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

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
Hello my name is Sean and I have recently rooted my phone (captivate glide) and installed a custom ROM. Whenever I try to update apps like the AT&T Code Scanner, Qik Video Lite, Andoid Keyboard, or even Google Play itself I receive this error message:
"Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
Also when I run certain apps like Spot Hero or Clash of Clans I get the following message:
"Google Play services, which some of your applications rely on, is not supported by your device. Please contact the manufacturer for assistance."
I have searched the forums and found a few instances with similar problems, but the issue was either never resolved or didn't match the problem I was experiencing. I've Googled the problem and a few folks suggested using Titanium Back Up to uninstall the app in question and then re-install, but I have read some users say that they are then unable to re-install the app. I don't want to lose any functionality, so I haven't tried that.
Here is a step-by-step of what I did to my phone:
1) Shutdown my phone and rebooted into download mode with Odin 3.04 running
2) Flash CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY 6.0.1.2 (found here)
3) Reboot in download mode
4) Flash stock ICS ROM (found here)
5) Flash Superuser 3.2-RC3-arm-signed.zip (following the instructions found here)
5) Flash GApps.zip for 4.0.4 (found here)
6) Reboot and the phone says it's upgrading Android and optimizing applications
7) Once the phone is booted up and the SD card is done scanning I run into the problem described above
Has anyone encountered this problem before? If so, please share your insights.
Thanks for reading and if you have any suggestions I would welcome the help.
hello
i remember i had same problem when i was using ics, i think you shoulr flash anotherics gapps from diferent source. I do not remember where i downloaded mine
I tried some different gapps and I got some apps like Hangouts to update, but now I receive this message when I try to install Google Play Services:
"Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID."
I did some further looking into this and found that if I wiped my /system data and reflashed my gapps.zipp that seems to work. I installed Youtube first (since it requires Google Play Services) and that took care of everything.
Unfortunately I have lost any progress I may have made in my game apps and have to download/update everything from scratch and reset my ring tones and such, but at least I have a fully functional, rooted phone.
Actually I take that back. Google Play Services seems to be cooperating, but now I'm getting the package file signature problem again.
I resolved the issue by starting over and following Rawr0w0's guide half way down this thread.
Since Windows 10 Mobile 10536, it's not possible to both run or install Android applications.
However, with the new tools in the attachment "WindowsBridge.7z", it's now possible to do that again.
Steps:
1 - Extract (using latest WinRAR or 7zip, for example) the contents of the attachment somewhere;
2 - Copy everything from the extracted "Tools" folder to the folder where you currently have the wconnect tool;
3 - In your phone, go to developer settings, enable "Device discovery", and choose "Unpair all" to remove previous pairing info;
4 - In your PC, make sure no process called "wconnectsrv" is running (use Windows Task Manager), and then use the new wconnect tool, and pair the phone again;
4 - In your phone, uninstall current Android applications;
5 - Reinstall them using the new wconnect tool, in the same way you did before;
Troubleshooting:
This method only enables installation with proper registering of Android apps.
If the application opens showing at least one screen, but crashes somewhere else, it's related to the Android Subsystem.
When trying to install an application, adb could return [DELETING_EXISTING_APPLICATIONDATA_STORE_FAILED] .
In that case, restart the phone, and try again
Best regards

Thanks! trying now.
Edit: autodiscovery doesn't work..
Another edit: After a few more tries it works, but no keyboard in the app.

F****** success!!! Brilliant!!!
anybody got google apps on this build?
Anybody tried on Lumia 640xl ?
Thanks, it works!
But doesn't Project Astoria support lollipop apps?
They show INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK error (e.g. Facebook Groups)
Couldn't install apps with API 21 or greater, only for api 19 (kit kat).

I installed it as you said but the keyboard still doesn't pop up
I am using a Lumia 1020 on 10536.1004. I tried this method and all apps (tried Facebook, FB Messenger, FB Pages, Line, and aillis so far) crash at startup so far.

You cant since WP has KitKat subsystem and therefore will not run apps with minsdk set to Lollipop...
Thanks ,

Possibly because they all use Google play services which is bit tricky to push... There were some tools that were stripping Google play from apps, but by that functionality goes down as well...
Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck at the connection stage with "Error Code - 6."
Thus far, I've tried:
wconnect.exe usb
wconnect.exe usb PINCODE
wconnect.exe 192.168.X.XXX
wconnect.exe 192.168.X.XXX PINCODE
And it results in the same error each time. I'm wondering if one needs Windows 8.1 64-bit version in order to successfully connect. I'm running 32-bit.
Anybody have any insight on this? Willing to experiment! :good:
Greetings everybody,
The ****en windows phone has downloaded system updates without my permission because there is no option to do that. Which is why windows phone 10 is stupid because that was in windows phone 8.1 !!
Now it has downloaded and attempted to install the update until it reached 70%~ and then it failed because there is no space enough.
I uninstalled some apps and freed space and then tried to install back again. But it didn't install, instead it downloaded the system update from new again. And didn't even delete or overwrite the "already downloaded update"
So, my question is, where the ****en windowsphone download it's system updates ???
Ps, I have unlocked full system access
PPs, i have encountered the same problem 3 weeks ago and made a hard reset but i can't do it now.
I ALSO HAD THE SAME PROBLEM SO I CONNECTED MY INTEROP UNLOCKED WINDOWS 10 MOBILE TO PC AND DELETED ALL FOLDERS AND FILES FROM This PC\Windows phone\Phone\Data\ProgramData\SOFTWAREDISTRIBUTION\Downloads AND AFTER THAT ALL MY PENDING UPDATES OF 1.7GB SIZED GOT CLEARED!
I have a dual booting 950xl (PhoneA) that seems to be stuck on OS 10586.318. Windows update says it is up to date. Also, the windows store has stopped functioning (acts like the server is down).
I have a second 950xl (PhoneB) that I recently installed WOA with dual boot enabled (same process as the first phone). Everything went great and it updated to 15254.603 just fine. Windows Store loads fine also.
My main goal is to either update the PhoneA without losing my text messages (it was my primary for a while so I am trying to preserve this information) or install the "contacts+message backup" xap (I have the xap but it is encrypted and will not sideload even with deployers) so that I can backup PhoneA and restore to PhoneB (To reinstate it as my daily driver). I have done "Transfer My Data" between the phones but it only transfers about 3 months worth. If the Store was working on the PhoneA, I could simply install the contacts+messaged app/setting and backup all I need.
I have onedrive on both and sync turned on but it doesn't seem to work (toggled both off and on with reboots to try to "restart" that process) on PhoneA.
Any thoughts on how/if I can preserve this txt history? Either through a non-destructive update on the first phone, getting the Store to run (I downloaded the store appx and changed the manifest for my OS version, as I have with a few other apps successfully, but cannot get it to install/update), or sideloading the contacts+message xap setting so I can backup and just wipe and reset PhoneA?
How can you update it? cookie clicker 2 unblocked games
