I'm not aware of any way to install Android Market on the Stock OS,
As for the market website, I don't see why you would'nt be able to download apps from there so thats a first for me.
Have you tried going into your "My Market Account" settings and adding/editing your "My Devices" list?
This is just a wild guess since I had my device rooted and customed 1 hour after first taking it out of the box.
If no go with the web market, I might suggest you root your device and flash TnT Lite since it is simular to the Stock OS.
G'Luck!
there is but its a PITA. The Rev has written some instructions on doing this but I cant find them. (Do many worthless threads). If you want to search for them then you may find them or just read this and add a custom rom

The instructions below are a more concise compilation of instructions that can be found in various posts in the XDA Developer section. Use at your own risk. These instructions are what I used to update my Stock TNT 3588 to be able to use the Google Android Market, using ClockWorkMod. The ClockWorkMod install instructions can be found below in this post.
Get Generic Enhancement Pack v1: h+t+t+p+colon+slash+slash+www+.+multiupload.com/6IFY1JDSJQ (Use with Stock TNT 3452 and higher). This will allow for downloading of file TnT_Enhancement_3452_v1.rar. Unzip this .rar file which will produce files ‘update.zip’ and ‘recovery/command’
These procedures do not install a new ROM but updates existing Stock TNT to:
1) Run faster (Installs more current Nvidia drivers)
2) Install Google APPS (Google Android Market, GMAL, etc. – all except Calendar and Contacts which can be added separately from the android market)
Install Performance Pack For Stock TnT 3452 and above using ClockWorkMod
Step 0.
Install ClockworkMod.
Clockworkmod v.8 (only update.zip file)
h+t+t+p+colon+slash+slash+www+.+.mediafire.com/?dvleg4oatkfxm7w
See ClockWorkMod install instructions at bottom of this post
Step 1.
Delete the update.zip and recovery folder from your tablet (the ones we copied to install ClockworkMod). Don’t worry, this won’t uninstall ClockWorkMod.
Step 2.
From the Downloaded Generic Enhancement Pack v1 (See Link above), rename update.zip to ‘Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip’ (or ‘whatever name.zip’ you want to name the zip file). The ‘recovery/command’ folder and file won’t be needed by ClockWorkMod.
Step 3.
Create a folder on your gtablet's internal storage (SDCARD) called ROMs.
(Do this by plugging your tablet into your computer, activating USB storage on your tablet, and then a "Removable" drive will pop up in "My Computer". Open that up, right click -> new -> folder.)
Unzip the ‘Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip’ to that folder. (Leave it zipped, Clockwork will install it from the .zip file as is).
Step 4.
Turn off your device.
Step 5.
Boot into ClockworkMod. (Press the power button and the volume+ button at the same time until the Viewsonic splash screen pops up, release, then you should see “Detect a recovery key pressed”. After that it will think for a few seconds and then it should boot into ClockworkMod)
Step 6.
Breathe. This is where we are going to back up your tablet…just in case.
Navigate down to “Backup and Restore” using the volume buttons. When that is highlighted press the home button to select it.
Navigate to “Backup”, press the home button to select it…and it will back up your tablet. This will take some time (varies depending on how much stuff you have on there).
Step 7.
Navigate down to “mounts and storage” using the volume buttons. When that is highlighted press the home button to select it.
Step 8.
We want to mount “/system” and “/data”, so if it says “mount /system” that means system is not mounted yet.
Highlight “mount /system” and press the home button. The line should change to read “unmount /system”
Next, highlight “mount /data” and press the home button. The line should change to “unmount /data”
After the first line reads “unmount /system” and the second line reads “unmount /data” you’re done with this step, press the back button to go back to the main menu.
Step 9.
This is the step that we actually flash the ROM in.
Navigate down to “install zip from sdcard” and press the home button to select that option at the menu.
Then, navigate to “choose zip from sdcard” and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “ROMs” and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “Generic Enhancement Pack v1.zip” …for enhancement file you are flashing and press the home button to select that option.
Navigate to the line that reads “Yes – Install yourzipfile.zip” and press the home button to select that option.
You will now see it do its thing. When complete you will see something along the lines of “install zip from sdcard complete” at the bottom of the screen.
Press the back arrow over and over again until you get to the Clockwork’s main menu.
Step 10.
Here is where we prepare the system to run the new ROM.
Navigate down to “mounts and storage”, select it, and mount “/system” and “/data” again as in steps 7 and 8. Note that “/data” may already be mounted (showing “unmount /data”).
Back up to Clockwork’s main menu.
Navigate to “wipe data/factory reset”, select it. Navigate down to “Yes – delete all user data”, and select it to wipe out user data and all the cache. (You need to do this for the update to function correctly)
Now, navigate to the top option “reboot system now” and select it. Your tablet will now reboot. It may take up to 15 minutes to start up the first time. as it rebuilds the user data and cache for this ROM.
If your tablet bootloops (not likely with the performance pack)… Press and hold the power button to shut the device down. Boot back into Clockwork. Select the advanced option at the bottom, then go to “partition SD card”, for the first option select 2048, and for the second option select 0. Then, redo steps 7-10. This erases all data on your tablet, including backups.
Quick Market Fix (Follow Exactly) to be able to have access to all APPS in the Market.
Make sure Market is running, do search for tv.com, adw launcher, zeam launcher, launcher pro (they will not show up).
If you don't do this, there may be no cache to clear and for some reason the market fix may not work.
1) Go to Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Running
2) Scroll down to Market. Then hit Clear Cache, followed by Force Stop **DO NOT CLEAR DATA FOR MARKET**. (Clear DATA) may not show as an option to be cleared)
3) Go back, scroll down to Google Services Framework, hit Clear Data, then Force Stop.
4) Start Market again and you will get the Market Error.
5) Reboot and wait for Wifi to connect to your network before doing anything!
6) Restart Market again. Searches for previously missing apps now show up.
You may have to do steps 1 thru 6 once again if all the available apps don’t show up.
Done.
[GUIDE] How To Install ClockworkMod
________________________________________
This is step by step how to install ClockworkMod
If this does something bad to you or your device it's your fault. I take no responsibility for anything, any damage to you, your property, or anyone.
You will need...
1. Patience
2. to be willing to void your warranty
Step 1.
Unzip the downloaded file to your gtablet’s internal memory (SDCARD). Your internal memory should now contain a file named update.zip and a folder named recovery with a file named ‘command’ in this folder,
Step2.
Turn off your device.
Step 3.
Press the power button and the Volume+ button at the same time and release them when the Viewsonic splash screen pops up. You should see "Detect a recovery key pressed" pop up in the upper left corner of the screen.
Step 4.
Watch it install. Your tablet will reboot when installation is complete.
the easiest is to install titaniumbackup fromthe gmarket. Then install the tnt enhancement pack thatroebeet did. That leaves you as stock withmarket. Cwm. Is fine but could void warranty. If you want to see a lot YouTube ehunyadi. He did about 20 videos on the rims and the how to.

Got PM'd a few times in CM7 Nightly Forum asking for the exact steps I took to get CM7 installed and running well. Learned a bit from trial and error reading the following forum threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=973683 (thanks jz0money)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=985463 (thanks kali)
These are the steps I took to get a solid CM7 install - if I made any glaring mistakes or redundant steps, please let me know.
First off, if you haven't already, root your Inspire with attn1's hack kit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=952352
This looks like a very complicated procedure, but just follow the steps, and you'll be fine. If you have problems, or need help, follow the IRC link in the thread to get some live help. Belac got me out of a jam there during my issues (I was a bonehead and missed a .sh in one of the commands). I am aware of bubby's Easy Root method, but I haven't tried it.
Download the version of CyanogenMod you want from here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace get RC2 or the latest nightly (I choose this option).
Download Google Apps here: http://android.d3xt3r01.tk/cyanogen/...120-signed.zip (I realize this is a link to an older version of gapps - the market will update them to latest version anyway).
Don't extract the .zips - just leave them the way they are.
Put both files on the sdcard in your Inspire where you can find them. I personally keep them in sdcard/@ROMs/Cyanogen (your @ROMs folder will be at the top of the list in CWM - saves excessive Volume Down presses when flashing ROMs)
Open Rom Manager on your phone, and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" to get the latest version of CWM on your phone (3.0.0.6 at the time I'm writing this).
Now, Select "Reboot into Recovery." Your Phone will reboot into ClockworkMod.
First, you're going to backup your current ROM. Volume Down to "backup and restore" and push power. Select "backup" and let the scripts run. This takes 5-10 minutes, so make yourself a drink or something. You'll receive confirmation that the backup is complete.
Volume down until "wipe data/factory reset" is selected, push power, then select "Yes". This process takes a couple minutes. Next, select "Advanced" then Wipe Dalvik Cache" then "Yes". Then, "++Go Back++"
Now its time to install CyanogenMod. "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard", then browse to the location where you put the .zip file. Select the .zip, select "Yes" and then Cyanogen will install. After the scripts finish, "++Go Back++" and "reboot system now"
Enjoy watching the awesome boot image of the skateboarding robot for a bit, until Cyanogen loads. Once you are at the home screen, push the power button and do a normal reboot. Once you are back at the home screen, hit menu, select "Wireless and Networks" and setup your wireless network. Cyanogen needs a reboot after the initial install for wireless to connect.
Now it's time to install Google Apps. Push Power, Select "Restart" then "Recovery" then OK. One of the many benefits of CyanogenMod (and other custom ROMs) is the ability to get into recovery by pushing the power button .
Back in CWM. "install zip from sdcard" then "choose zip from sdcard" and select the gapps .zip from wherever you put it. "++Go Back++" and "reboot system now".
The Google Apps installer should start up - if not, open Market. Select the Google Apps you want, and sign in. If you had installed other apps via the Market, most of them should be downloading on your phone now. If you want to check status, open the Market, hit menu, then select "My Apps."
From here, you should be all set to enjoy the awesomeness that is CyanogenMod.
Thanks again to attn1, Belac, jz0money, and kali
Hiya!
So, I am no android beginner, but to me there seems to be a continual branching off & fragmentation (and obsolescence) in tutorials, howto's etc etc.
This is what I have: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 1.6, build DRC92
This is what I want: UK T-mobile G1, running Android 2.2 or higher
This is what irritates me: 1001 different tutorials, each of which (wrongly) *assume* you know what you are doing with this particular handset
I know what I am doing with ZTE, and Android OS in general, but I want to get this CLEAR, as clear as crystal, and I want to do it by following a SIMPLE, non-ambiguous, non-assuming tutorial. That SHOULD be simple, but it seems not.
I need to upgrade "SPL" and "RADIO". I need this explaining please, in as much detail as you can, if you don't mind?
I am sorry to sound demanding, but this whole process is a minefield of conflicting opinions, geek ego battles and preferences... and ALL I wanna do is upgrade!
Please, any help?
PLEASE: I ask that you don't just simply link me to other tutorials, as I am confused about how to do this, and that will just set me back to square one again. If you are able to spare a few minutes to explain what to do, I would be most grateful.
Thank you!
It is hard not to link you to the instruction that is already there. But I do understand your frustration. When I first started I had the same (similar problem) and end up following one of the instruction. FYI, the only links I posted is the recommended Froyo ROM. It has Android 2.2.1.
Simply put, here is from Instruction I have when I first rooted my G1:

Well first of all this isn't Q&A this is a development section, second look for the guide in the dev section, its easy to follow and not complicated at all, download a few files, blah blah blah your done. Took me 5 minutes.
Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using XDA App
i won`t go down to rc29. on market is an application named universal androot which works on htc dream ( 1.5 and higher ). this will root your phone but until you`ll restart the phone, you`ll have to flash recovery image ( amon-ra-1.7.0 ). after you restart your phone and still have root privilegies, that`s a good moment to change SPL. ezTerry`s tutorial i think is the best there is.
flash another rom. i am using now Nameless jedi`s rom maybe because i find it the best or just because i`m a star wars fan
i did not covered it all in this post ( i`m pretty sure ) so if your stuck in there somewhere ( android related ) you can IM me anytime. maybe we`ll even try a live installfest
p.s. the dreaimg.nbh is a "good to have" file. although i hope you`ll never use it.

Alright for the past two week I had searched every corner of the internet looking up on how to install the “MOAR ROM”. Just getting the same answer install with “TWRP”. And to install TWRP you had to root your phone. So now I had to search on the internet and find a tutorial on how to root my phone. In the end I had to go through three different tutorials on how to get the MOAR ROM flashed on my phone. And where I had to go to get the files to download.
Well so you don’t have to do the long, and arbitrary tasks that I had to go through. Here is a tutorial – Telling you from start to finish on what you need to do.
This is for the Sprint Variant of the Samsung Galaxy S5. I don’t know if this will work on other version of the S5.
I apologize on the crudeness of this tutorial, a lot of this was written from memory.
All of the software you need to download is provided by clicking on words that are highlighted in brownish tan-ish color
I don’t not nor do the developers of the software you use are responsible for the lost of data and/or lost of your phone. You assume responsible for modifying your phone.
I have not created any of the software provide in this tutorial.
Step 1. Make sure you have VPU1BOA6 (Lollipop) OS installed on your phone.
-To see if you have this already installed your phone.
- You go to your phones “Setting”
- From there go to “About Device”
- You will then see “Software Version” and underneath that you will see “G900PVPU1BOA6”
If you see “OA6” you are good to go on to step 2. for rooting your device. So Please Continue. If you do not see this that is okay all you need to do is either update your phone or you need to flash the appropriate OS on your phone. To do this continue on to step 1a.
Step 1a. If you fail to see “OA6” in under “Software Version” then you will have to download some files.
- You will need to download Odin
- Then you will need to download the OS “Lollipop”
- Once you have both of these move to step 1b.
Step 1b. Warning!!! Installing this OS will wipe your phone of all its data. Highly recommend that you create back of contacts, photos, videos, etc.
- Now unzip Odin, and run SM-G900P_OA6_FullRestore.exe (This is will give you the Lollipop OS it will unzip it to the file destination you wish)
-Run Odin, Click on the AP button – A window should appear, navigate to where you unzip the OS and click on it.

Step 1c. Now it is time to put your phone into Recovery Mode and to connect to the computer.
- Power down the phone, once the phone is power down hold the “Home + Power + Volume Down Buttons” Do not let go until you see text show up in the upper left corner of the screen.
- Now some of you might see a screen that gives you a Warning about custom firmware and roms. And press up on the volume on button to continue or press volume down to restart the phone. If you want to continue press up.
- If you have elected to press up then you are awesome and it is time to continue on your route to being rooted. Now you will see the Android Guy “Downloading” or something to that effect. Plug your phone into your computer
- Now move to step 1d.
Step 1d. Again Warning: You will lose your phone data. Continue at your own risk.
- Press Start, on Odin once your phone is connected to your computer. Let it do its thing. Go make some coffee.
- Once it has installed the new OS go ahead and setup your “Slight used Phone”
-You ready for step 2. I think you are.
Step 2. Alright you have decide to root your phone, because you love all the options the Android OS has already provided you. But you know your phone can do more and you want more and deserve all of it.
- So first thing you need is the rooting tool and Odin if you don’t have download it. You will also need to two other additional files. SUPERSU and Knox Removal Mod Do Not Unzip these two (2) additional files.

Custom firmware Blah Blah Blah…etc. Press Volume Up to continue or Volume down to restart phone” Press up then Android guy shows up with downloading underneath him. Connect your phone at this point to the computer.
-Press start on Odin. Let it do its thing it should only take to 5 minutes at the most. Now that it is done. Shut your device completely down.
-Go to step 2a.
Step 2a. You will need a Micro SD card. Add those two other files. To the root of the SD card.
- Move to step 2b.
Step 2b. You need to put your phone into recovery mode.
- Your device should be completely shut off now. To put into recovery mode you need to hold down these buttons (Home + Power + Volume UP Buttons). You should see in the upper left hand corner of the screen text saying Recovery…
- You will see a list of options you will want to click to on “apply update from external storage” Find one of the two files you add to the root of the SD card and click. It should start to apply the update. Once that is complete. Repeat the process from Step 2b. for the other file.
- Go to Step 3.
Step 3. So you have decide you like to play risky and rooting just wasn’t cutting for you Daredevil.
- Go to “Play Store” Type into the Search bar “TWRP” – Install “TWRP Manager”
- Once it installed, Open the application, Grant the application root access. Now that the application has root access click on Menu icon in the upper left hand side. Once there go to “Install TWRP”.
- Click on “Device Name” and scroll through the device list and find the “Galaxy s5” and click it. It will then go back to “Install TWRP” page. Now press “Install Recovery” And let it work.
-Go to Step 4.
Step 4. Assuming everything for you so far has gone to plan. The next step is to install MOAR (Mother Of All Roms). Do not unzip the file.
-Connect your phone to the computer.
-Now that you have download MOAR. Move it the “Download” Folder on the SD Card. It will make easier to locate later.
- Now power down the phone and go into the recovery menu. To do this make sure your phone is off and now hold (Home + Power + Volume UP Buttons). Once there click on “Advance”, Then “File Manager”. There you will a list of options scroll until you see “external_sdcard”. Now you will see another list scroll until you see “download”.
