Bypassing Android market restriction ? - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Hi.
I heard from someone that there is an app that enables a danish Magic to fully access the android market thereby bypassing the region restriction. Is that true?
I´ve done a search. Nothing found.

yes, google for marketenabler

Thanks. Cheers.

You must root your phone for that to work.

I´ve just rooted the phone and the enabler tells me that everything is ok. But I still only get the free apps in market..
How do I check to see it my phone really is rooted? Might be that I´ve messed up ?

Did you remember to kill your market process and clear its cache before trying to go in again?

Did it and it works.. thanks..

I've been having problems with this app. My phone IS rooted yet whenever I try to choose a source in the list I get the "we got a problem houston " error message! Can someone please help?
BTW, I'm a Rogers customer.

Could you explain your steps to me? No matter what version I try, I ALWAYS get the "we got a problem Houston " error message. This is what I did:
Downloaded MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Put it in C:\AndroidSDK\
Opened cmd from run
Went to C:\AndroidSDK\
adb install MarketEnabler_v3.0.1-beta.apk
Completed successfully
Went to applications in my Magic and force stopped Market as well as cleared the cache
Opened Market Enabler and tried the German source
Error message comes up!
Thanks for the help
And yes, my phone IS rooted.
EDIT: Didn't have Superuser installed! It works fine now although ATM it doesn't show any paid apps...

step 3 is enabling debug mode, so i dont know what you could have typed wrong.
point 6 is just to open a command prompt. have you tried with the Command Prompt icon in Windows?

You can try to use the method ekindangen is showing in this thread:
[ROM] Change the perfected SPL HBOOT 1.33.0010 to 1.33.0009
And after that you can choose to use flashrec to get recovery-RAv1.2.1H.img on your device or just use adb fastboot method. And then flash the rom you desire into your mobile.
But before you do so please confirm that you got a 32A with the perfect SPL 1.33.0010 for your own sake You should have, and method worked for me and was really easy!

[Q] Phone has lost its IMEI number!!

My phone has no network and it says no sim card. After further investigation it appears that this is because the IMEI number has just gone, it doesnt exist on the phone. It is standard I have never changed software so have no idea how this could happen. Tried factory reset but nothing works. Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your guidance...I have tried both option but it get stuck in middle somewhere and not able to flash the kdz file.
So at this moment LG Mobile support tools not able to cross 10% in firmware update process and stops due to some error.
With KDZ update tools, same situation....and device can connect to adb terminal no other recovery mode options.
So using adb terminal is there any chances to do some fix ?
I think I have currupted my boot loader during installation of third party recovery software without doing boot loader unlock option.
Please guide or suggest any other try.....
Thanks

It was happened like......the phone was working ok with latest official updates V20A and suddenly lost the IMEI number so Mobile network also. After some try finally I have done factory reset..but it was not working as expected...some time it has shown IMEI but lost also...tried many time factory reset but not worked...so tried with LG Mobile repair under upgrade and recovery option but it was failing at 10 % everytime. So thought lets intall new ROM so decided to install cyanogonmod so for preparation rooted phone and installed CWM recovery ....as doing all this first time so may be forgot to unlock the bootloader so after installation of CWM recovery phone has not booted and also not going to recovery menu. After that under upgrade mode tried to burn KDZ file using LG mobile support tool but that also not working.
So now the situation is, the can only go in to firmware update mode and some time getting connected to adb terminal.
So now is there any change of BL repair through adb terminal or the only option remain is visit LG support....?
Please guide....
Thanks,

Did you downloaded the files??
Install Drivers and follow the steps properly,
this should work for you to keep connected,
One more thing run drivers and flashtool as administrator, I already PM you.
Still having problems, please let me know.
If your phone is still not booting, I am afraid that you bricked it.
Good Luck

Standing to lose all the data on my fone..
Thanks to xiaomi..
We are aware of this issue and we are working on a fix. My personal opinion this "locked bootloader" is useless.. If someone doesnt want to play around with it they will just leave it. Anyway... The should be an update of Mi Suite soon that will fix this problem, thank god that I didnt update lol

Well most beta testers used Xiaomi's reccovery which worked fine with the update so they did not end up in a bootloop but for users like us using TWRP it was otherwise. Try doing a request again maybe? Write bit more details etc. I do apologise for the inconvenience of this update being released, I'm happy i never updated myself as I do use my phone a lot for business purposes which is very vital.
I'm using this, is it the older version? working well.
xiaomi.eu_multi_leo_V7.1.4.0.LXHCNCK_v7-5.1.zip
No updates showing in updater. I s everyone saying they now have no phone?
I need phone for work why am I having no issues.
I see no way back as the update disables fastboot. Luck and only luck stopped me applying the update.
Posted another req for unlock..keeping my fingers crossed..
So whats the best course of action? thinking return to stable, lock bootloader and sell. Anyone got a better idea?

Exactly what @arkabose said. You can also disable automatic download.
So this looks like the only option for the lucky ones who haven't locked their bootloader.

1. Due to large amounts of requests, please wait for 10-12 days after submitting your application. If you haven't get any info after 10-12 days, please make a thread on en.miui with your Xiaomi account number, we will check it for you. Thanks for understanding
2. The unlocking procedure only supports MIUI China developer version (6.1.12 or later version) currently. MIUI China stable version will get supported in future updates
3. Some Mi Note Pro users could not unlock bootloader after updating to 6.1.12. This issue will be solved in the next update

Stuck On Google Logo and didnt Check Unlock OEM

Hi All,
So I have been searching the interwebs for the last four hours with no luck.
I have a Nexus 6 and I was trying to update the OTA developer preview from google that I signed up to test.
Problem is that I ended up on a bootloop. I am able to get into Fastboot but I am unable to make any commands work since the device is locked. All commands end with a Failed (command write failed error).
I am able to go into recovery to access ADB but that is also not very useful because it seems i am unable to push anything to the phone. The only thing which seems to want to work is when I try and load an OTA image.
This loads until 100% and I get an error which says the image I have is to new and it requires a specic image.
I am currently on 6.0.1/MMB29V/2554798.
I have tried factory reset but no help there.
Also when I try select update from SD Card it says it Couldnt mount/sdcard.... Unknow volume for path
Any help?

your n6 is bricked and you could try all the options from XDA.
There is a thread about the Nexus Root Toolkit of Wugfresh. This kit runs on a Windows PC and has a menu with option for bricked phones.
When you can start in recovery mode (long press start button + volume down) you could give it a try. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2947452
When there is no result, you could send it to Amazon for repair. But check the costs.
The total costs of mail, assurance and repair are probably more than $ 100,=.
I have seen some posts that the of a new N6 is every month lower.

How to do "sdfuse" method with twrp

Thanks in advance.
Please have a look at

Thanks, I was able to figure it out, but now I have a new problem... When I try to update using the sdfuse "SD method" I get
ERROR: product is Z2 Pro? Why is it stating that? What is the fix? Thanks again
Maybe you have changed your model in build.prop, try to check it or maybe flash any other ROM via TWRP and after that try to use the sdfuse method. Let's know.
You have to remove check version lines in update package.
then twrp will install it
Sorry i dont have any in my phone, but it is in,
META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

I've been given a friends phone that does the same, link above is dead so was a bit stuck..
He was told that it is impossible for him to get the error he was getting so I've got the phone now, I was getting the same error...
However, if I left the phone on the error, and then tried the QFIL way of doing thing, it worked, weird as QFIL on its own originally was giving an error as well..

Help reflashing stock Android

Hello.
My Nexus 6 is out of warranty, so I'm doing my best to get it working myself because I can't get it replaced for free.
So, several months ago, my Nexus 6 (running Android 6.0.1 MOB30O) restarted on its own and showed a "Device is corrupt" message before booting (information at g.co/ABH; red error). I was concerned about the security of my device, so I performed a factory reset. Upon trying to set the phone up again, I found that after connecting to Wi-Fi, the phone would loop indefinitely while periodically saying that Google Play Services has crashed. I once tried leaving it overnight while it was "Checking connection" or whatever, and it still did not move to the next phase of setup. I have tried this on several different networks, and when I intentionally use a wrong password, the phone doesn't connect. So, I have no reason to believe the Wi-Fi connection is the problem. I have tried performing a factory reset from Android Recovery dozens of times, and it still doesn't work. So, I'm effectively limited to the boot menu to interact with my phone (so, I can't access Developer Options because I can't set up my phone). Also, most of the times I boot up my phone, I still get that red error during boot.
So, I've been trying to reflash stock Android. I tried using Nexus Root Toolkit to do that several times, and it never works (I get to a part in the process where it says to set up the phone and enable Developer Options, but I still can't set up the phone). I then decided I would try to do it myself since that tool wasn't fixing the problem. I am able to get ADB connected using the "Apply update from ADB" option within Android Recovery, but whenever I try to sideload one of the Shamu factory images, I get a C++ (I think) error:
Code:
loading: 'C:\Users\dpowell\Downloads\shamu-mob30o.zip'...
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
what(): std::bad_alloc
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I just updated all the ADB-related stuff from within Android Studio, so it all should be up-to-date.
So, I don't know what to try next. I've used Nexus Root Toolkit to root my Nexus 7 successfully, but I've never tried to modify my Nexus 6 before it stopped working. Regardless of what images I try to put onto the Nexus 6, it always shows MOB30O as the current image in the bootload menu.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I really would like to get this device working again, and Motorola would charge me $170 to replace it because it's not under warranty anymore.
Thank you for your help.

Hello,
The error you get from adb is coming from a problem with latest ADB Rev.25.0.4
Check this: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37139736
In Android studio are you able to revert to a previous version, no?
Rev.25.0.3 should work...
I assume your bootloader is locked?!
Good luck...

Yes, my bootloader is locked.
Thank you, that fixed the ADB problem. I just saw that they actually have a Rev.25.0.5 now, so I am using that.
I tried sideloading first one of the Android 7 images, and that didn't work. So, I tried MOB30O again, and that also didn't work. Here's the error I'm getting:
Code:
E:footer is wrong
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
The Shamu files I was trying to flash are the ones found at https://developers.google.com/android/images#shamu. Is this not what I'm supported to be using?
I don't know how relevant this is, but again, I'm using the "Apply update from ADB" option in Android Recovery, and all I did from my command line is "adb sideload [file]".
Thank you.

Hey,
WTF
You can't sideload a factory image
Download a proper OTA here: https://developers.google.com/android/ota#shamu
And try again.
Good luck...

Yeah, I understand about 40% of what I'm doing. Thanks for helping.
So, I sideloaded N6F26Y, which is 7.1.1. Here is the debug info I got:
Code:
Installing update...
Target: google/shamu/shamu:7.1.1/N6F26Y/3821691:user/release-keys
Patching system image unconditionally...
E:unknown command [log]
E:unknown command [log]
Writing bootloader...
Writing radio...
script succeeded: result was [1.000000]
Install from ADB complete.
So, it looks to me like that worked, but at the top of my screen, it still says 6.0.1/MOB30O. Also, it always makes me slightly nervous to see error messages. Do I need to reboot to bootloader in order for changes to take effect? Does it look like anything went wrong?
I know that manually messing with the operating system is potentially risky, so I didn't want to continue from here without knowing if there's anything else I needed to do.
Thank you so much for your help.

Hey,
You know everyone has to start somewhere. 40% is not that bad. :good:
Factory reset once again, just in case. And reboot.
Should be good now (hopefully). Let me know...
Cheers...
