[APP][2.2+] Market Unlocker 3.0.8 - support Android market 3.4 and Amazon appstore

Hi all, i'd like to introduce my free app Market Unlocker to you.
It's similar to MarketEnabler which let you access paid apps in Android Market, but add funny functions as
1. Support Android Market 3.4
2. Support download & buy paid app in Amazon Appstore outside USA.
As you might have known, android market and amazone appstore will stop you from downloading and tell you that it's not supported in your region. Why? Because the server's checking your ip address countries as well as your provider. For amazon users registered with us credit card and billing address, it's frustrated when you're not in usa.
Market Unlocker will force visiting Market and Appstore via a proxy, that makes traffic looks like from USA. Unlimited access any more.
Find out more details in Android Market by search "Market Unlocker". I also attached an apk, but check out from android market is still recommended.
Believe it will help you.

Looks promising. It is a [ROOT required + Acquire IMEI] app.
But I cannot find a working US proxy yet to test its function (download apps from Amazon). What a pity.

getting a working USA proxy is hard

Pick up where to get working proxy in Q&A of Android market app descriptions. Google also...

Works great on my SGS2.
However, I tried it on the alpha ICS roms. (from samsung). It could not get su access and force closed. Might be about my setup though.

Does not work on CM9 alphas too.
Is it an ICS problem?

Hmm tried on nook color with cm9 preview and the market change works, yet the proxy setting says "invalid ip address or port number"

Thanks, i will try

Question
Hi! I just installed your app to see what is about.
I opened the app, then slide left to Market, then clicked in USA Verzion, then slide right to Home, then selected Enable Unlocker, but then I dicided to unistall.

Hi, thanks for your work.
Currently I try to download the GMail App, because the App isn't in the german Market.
I was able to fake the provider to Verizon USA and configured a proxy I found in the web. But the GMail App isn't available yet.
What went wrong?
The proxy??

could not make it work.

I bought the Pro version, got a proxy configured automatically and managed managed to buy and install fifa12 from the US market using these steps:
1. Turn on flight mode
2. Enable Market Unlocker and auto unlock
3. Got to system Setting => Applications => Manage applications => All => Market, and click “Clear data”
4. Reboot phone
5. Turn on Wifi/3G
6. Wait google service sync-up completed or refresh in Gmail.
7. Open Market Unlocker, enable proxy
8. Open Google Play. Buy your apps.
Turn off flight mode.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My question is this, if the device is rebooted with proxy off or flight mode is enabled and disabled, do we still need to do the above steps to be able to buy apps from the US market?

works good on my sgs

is it just me or does this app no longer work ?
for example enable it then use with or without proxy and i still can't download or use google wallet, whereas before i could.
Something has changed...

How to Access Other Countries Google Play Store with a VPN App
This tutorial is based on merquise's one on S2 forum : [GUIDE] Access US or UK Google Play market through VPN, cmlx's and BC01 posts
Available in french (en français) on my website : ici
*** Updates ***
06 october 2014 - More little changes in the text - Tested and updated with Play Store v4.9.13
11 february 2014 - Little things in the text - Viatun <= 2.3 unavailable
22 october 2013 - Tested and updated with Play Store v4.3.11
*** NO ROOT Required ***
This thread can help people who are searching to access to the US or UK or whatever Google Play Store. You can download apps, music, films, books, blocked in your own Play Store country.
The advantage of this way of doing is that you will use a vpn server for some seconds only, and then your own internet connection which is more secured and rapid.
Problem :
Since february 2013, apps like Market Enabler (link to the apk) can't change the country of the Play Store. It seems that Google has blocked this possibility.
An answer with a VPN :
You can change the Play Store country with a VPN app, if your account isn't already locked on a country.
VPN are gateway to access the internet from a server in another country. We could easily fake our phone connection to UK or US, or any other country.
But the problem is that we don't really know if this distant server is well-secured.
So here is a way to fake our connection with the Google Play Store while remaining safe.
First, download a VPN app (I add some informations about the free versions of this apps), you just need some MB of data :
- TunnelBear VPN - Free : US or UK, need to subscribe, 500MB/month (you can easily upgrate to 1G with a tweet)
- or Vpn One Click - Free : 17 countries, "no traffic limit"
- or Hotspot Shield VPN - Free : US?, "unlimited bandwith"
- or Hideman VPN - Free : 16 countries, 5h/week free
- or DroidVPN - Root needed - Free : US, need to subscribe, 100MB/day
- or Tigervpns VPN - Free : US or UK or JP, 100MB demo
- or VIATUN 4 VPN (Android 4.0 and up) - Free : many countries, need to subscribe, 3 days (1GB limit)
How-To :
- Start the VPN app and launch the VPN (search for the country you want or US if you don't know).
- Go in Settings, Applications, Google Play Store, clear data
- Open the Google Play Store app : it will be re-loading and pop-up a confirmation window, says "By using Google Play, you agree to the ... ", just accept it and you can see a new Play Store without restriction.
- Turn OFF VPN and go back on the Play Store. You can then download the apps you want. The status without restriction of Play Store can retain till next reboot of the app or of your device.
You have to do again this process if you want to change again the Play Store country.
Careful : If you buy something on the Play Store or with your Google account, it may stay blocked on this country even if you try to clean everything.
FAQ :
# If you're on an old version of the Play Store ( < 4.4.2.1) :
Instead of clear data, you can go directly on the Play Store app after having start the VPN.
Press the "menu" button and choose "accounts", then press your account which you are currently using, and OK.
Play Store will be re-loading and pop-up a confirmation window, says "By using Google Play, you agree to the ... ", just accept it and you can see a new Play Store without restriction.
Don't forget to put off the VPN before starting to download the apps you want.
# I follow the instructions but it's not working :
- If you use a credit card, see the next tip
- Clear Google Play Store cache and data in settings again. Try also to reboot your router.
- Verify that the vpn is working (see tip below)
- If it's still not working, remove your google account and log in again.
# I use a credit card and the store doesn't change its country :
- The most simple way is to create and use a second google account on your phone, without using a credit card. When you use a credit card, Google block the country of your Play Store.
- If you use Google Wallet, you can try to change your adress and all your localization to another country. (tip from qbsti)
- Delete Creditcards (and Adress) in Wallet. Restart Mobile. Force Close the Play Store App and delete Cache and Data. Activate VPN . Open the store and don't forget then to put off the VPN.
# I don't know if the vpn is working :
- To verify if your vpn is working : go with a mobile browser on a website like http://www.hostip.fr and verify the country.
You can also note your ip before using the vpn. Then start the vpn, go again on the website, refresh the web page. The vpn works if the ip has changed.
# I've got a trust VPN, can I use it ? How ?
- If you've got a trust VPN, you can keep it permanent by directly add it in Android settings - More... - VPN
# Store's country has changed but I don't find paid apps or the one I search.
- If the market's country has changed but you still don't find an app, do a google search with your stock browser. It will ask you if you want to go by the browser or the Play Store. Choose Play Store. The app will open and you can download/buy the app.
- You can also use this app : Fetch, to search an app. It will then redirect you to the Play Store. (tip from xda's member skingg)
# I don't find the country I'm searching for the VPN :
- You can use one of this tutorial : http://www.vpngate.net/en/howto_android.aspx with one VPN of this list : http://www.vpngate.net/en/. There is surely the country you're searching.
- You can also try to use OpenVPN : Open VPN (Play Store) and search for a VPN with this app : easyOVPn

Not working for me
I used this methog with tunnelbear on my desktop, S3 and nexus 10 for months now, and it worked perfectly until about 2 weeks back. It now still doesnt work, it keeps going to my local play store, on desktop, phone or tablet, as if Google has decided i cant open any other store anymore. On the plus side, I can download my movies now without a VPN, that wasnt possible before.

"I can download my movies now without a VPN" In which country are you living ? Maybe Google has opened its market to your area.
Yep, sometimes VPN is not working to change market country, so I wipe cache and data of the app, reboot my phone and my router, start vpn, and most of the time VPN works again

i'll try it. thanks....

Can you give more information about your problem . VPN is enabled ?

I'm using HTC One X so I'm not sure whether it's my device or what.
I followed your steps and it didn't work. I even used VPN (Japan), market helper (Samsung Galaxy S3) and market enabler (NTT Docomo) at the same time.
My IP was a Japanese IP and Google Dashboard showed my International HTC One X as "samsung GT-I9300 NTT docomo", but still no luck.
I also cleared cache, forced stop Google Play and reboot.
edit:
It didn't work when I used my primary Google account. But when I added my other Google account that was never used for Google Play before, it worked!

Don't use market enabler or any other app. It will not work for the moment.
Start a us vpn and go with your browser on a website like whatismyip.com and verify if your vpn is working. You should be located in us.
But if it's working with one account, it should work with the other one
Keep the vpn open, wipe google play cache and data, then open it. Try also to reboot your router.
If it's still not working, remove your google account and put it back. Then start the vpn, and then the play store.

I don't know what is exactly the problem with Netflix, I don't use it.
A vpn will fake your connection, and can, for example, put it in the us.
If it's what the app needs, it should work with netflix.

Yep, you need at least a card on Google Wallet (or a gift card or somethine like that) to download, free or paid, film or music.
We don't need it for free books (and apps )

What you can do, but it's risky, it's to create your vpn in Android settings - more (under data consommation) - VPN, and to use a adress here http://www.xroxy.com/proxy-country-KR.htm
But I' m afraid of the security of this distant server.

[HOW TO] Get US Google Play Store (or any other)

OK, few peoples like myself were so frustrated when Google silently introduced "locked on certain country" account thing.
We lost access to what we used to, music, magazines, restricted apps, lower price of apps like here price of Tasker for US and other etc.
I think this tutorial will work for everyone, but I'm not sure, right now I have US play store for just few days. Using it without VPN or any other tool like location spoofer or market enabler. Also using it on PC browser without VPN.
WHAT YOU NEED:
1. two android phones (second phone you need for just for 10 minutes)
2. credit card
3. VPNoneclick APK
4. One Google account
SCENARIO:
You have one phone you are using as daily driver (my case Nexus 4) you have in that phone one Google account that is locked to your real country. Even if you try VPN + location spoofer + market enabler at same time you'r still locked to your country.
GOAL:
US Play Store
TO DO:
1. Delete your credit card from Google Wallet
2. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/account > next to Email click Edit > Set US
3. Go to play store, try to buy something setup credit card set US, for ZIP type any number (this is the best part: in g wallet you cant do that) , your name, skip rest
4. Do factory reset of your other phone (EVO 3D android 4.0.3 stock in my case), skip setup, don't add account!
5. Get to browser on EVO 3D and download VPNoneclick APK, install it (enable unknown sources in settings first), or install it via ADB from PC
6. Open VPNoneclick click connect to US, wait 30 sec
7. Open Play Store on EVO 3D and login with your locked account (it should be US Play Store now)
8. Clear data on Nexus 4 Play Store, without VPN or any other tool open it and login with same account like before and on EVO 3D
9. Say Thank You
Let me know if you have problems, I have few more things in account settings but I don't think they are relevant for this setup.
I was thinking of not sharing this because I'm afraid that Google will close this hole, and I will end up again without US play store.
But sharing is caring and I did use what other people have been sharing in past.
Thanks

I did a lot of different things and got it to WORK also...
the KEY step is when you MANAGE to get a US Play Store on ONE device (my process involved using a nexus 7 with vpn and a REAL US account + my intended account), and when you want to "transfer" to your original phone (and after to the PC play store also), you MUST not be connected to VPN and clear data on the Play Store app.
Then when you open it, it will be on the US Play store...

[Q] Order from the US Play Store

Hi guys,
I wanna order the Nexus 5 from the US Playstore through a friend whose residential address I plan to use for the shipment.
Now what happens is if I login to the play store, it automatically redirects me to my country's play store where the phone is not available yet.
So how do I bypass this redirection and order it from the US Playstore myself?
Would I need a proxy server or something like that?
Would appreciate a kind response,
Cheers!

If you are using Chrome desktop browser. Download an extension called Hola and select USA as a vpn.
Fun fact. This will also allow you to watch American Netflix if you have a subscription.
