guys i need help on purchasing app from market.
ok i have a rooted x10i .
i tried the market fix but after many days of waiting , no miracle appears.
so i install the market enabler instead and all works fine now.
but the issue here is that i wish to purchase some wonderful app like setcpu etc.
but when i click on "buy" and prompt to insert my credit card information.the choice of locations doesnt include the country i am in (singapore)
i have credit cards but they need to verify the billing address and such.
so how do i go about it? or issit a dead end for me?
thanks alot

bro i have already applied this market fix .
issue is that now i do see paid applications with the help of market enabler software.
but in the buying section when entering credit card info , they only accept certain countries and doesnt include singapore.

This is where Im stuck too, cause I use the market access after rooting.
Now I have the full access to paid apps but I cannot buy as my country is not on selected list.
So I did little bit of googling. And found out this.
Go to (Using Computer recommended ) https://checkout.google.com/ and sign in using the gmail address that you use on the phone
Enter valid Card information, and relative billing address (any country)
sign out from the web checkout
Go to your phone and clear all the cache of market ( go to Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/market)
Use market access on my post here and emulate any market you want ( you need root access)
Use the same thread to find assistance if you got stuck on the application.
Open Market and you will be offered to accept terms and conditions.
Click buy app and automatically your checkout settings will pickup by the market
Enjoy paid market apps, no matter what country you are in
This method working for me on my X10 rooted BA24 version

Most users dont know this, share the word and make more android users happy.

Is this solution for rooted users only? or does that work on non-rooted phones as well?

hi , i believe it works only for rooted users as inorder to fake the sim location you need root access.

Ok, thank you!
I hope that google will give Norway paid apps soon, and from my understanding, you get alot of epic apps that you need to pay for. And I'm happy to pay a few bucks for some great apps

[GUIDE] Get Apps from Amazon Appstore outside US (no VPN or Orbot stuff)

I posted this as a reply to another thread which said the VPN method stopped working. Hope it works for you! Feel free to ask questions. Orbot never worked for me, which is why this method might be helpful for others as well.
Also, Market Access app mentioned here requires root! Not absolutely sure that part of the guide is needed though. Try skipping it and see what happens.
This is not that convenient since it requires you to keep jumping between the Amazon website and the appstore app. Well you can probably do both from your phone though but it might be easier if you were on the computer so you won't have to keep switching between the Amazon site on your phone's web browser, and the appstore app.
Edit: I mentioned that I used my Philippine address, but checking the emails statements from Amazon, it still indicates my US billing address (I happen to have one, but it was not the one associated to my one-click settings...Even when I deleted the address to check, it still keeps showing that same billing address on new orders..so if it doesn't work with your normal address, just find a random US address online )
anoneemooz said:
Angry Birds Rio for Android, exclusive to the Amazon Android appstore is FREE for today only to commemorate the Amazon Appstore's launch. So technically not yet considered as warez. It's also worth mentioning that they're giving away 1 paid app a day.
EDIT: I guess the day is over for them, there's another new app that's free for today (World Series Online Poker: Holde'm Legend) but you can still check if you can get Angry Birds Rio...it still says free on my Appstore.
EDIT2: I actually think this is a loophole in their system. So it might get fixed soon!
Anyway, there's a simpler way. I have it, I'm from the Philippines, and I've played through the first 10 or so rounds with no signs of being kicked out or anything. Just needed a break...
Anyhow, here's what I did. I'm not sure exactly what combination of actions worked so I'll just say everything here. Make sure your phone's on wifi or whatever.
1. (PHONE) Get the Market Access app (which allows me to buy from the Android Market when normally app purchases are not allowed for my region) - just Google Android Market Access..it should be one of the first links. It's free. Download and install it on your phone.
EDIT: Market Access app here: http://amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
2. (PHONE) Set Market Access to emulate the T-Mobile USA sim (does not effect anything, no worries..you can still text and call etc.)
3. (COMPUTER) Download the Amazon Appstore app via the Amazon website's Appstore page. You have to give your e-mail address.
Amazon Appstore page: http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b/ref=sa_menu_adr_app1?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011

}
4. (COMPUTER) Amazon will send you the download link. You can download it via your phone or to your computer then just transfer it over. I did the latter.
5. (PHONE) Install the Amazon Appstore App with the apk you just downloaded
6. (COMPUTER) If you don't have an Amazon account yet, sign up for one and attach a credit card and billing/shipping address to it (NOT SURE if this is needed, I just happen to already have those things..but you do need an Amazon account~)
7. (PHONE) Navigate to the free app you're trying to get. Try to download it and you'll be told that you need to enable One-Click...Just continue to activate it (it will open up Amazon's website on your phone's web browser) you'll be told to log-in to Amazon, then select the payment method (credit card you linked to Amazon) as well as the billing/shipping address (I just used my Philippine address) after that you would have already enabled One-Click.
8. (COMPUTER) Sign in to Amazon and then navigate to the app you want from the Amazon Appstore WEBSITE. If you try to grab the app you want from the Amazon Appstore app on your phone you'll keep getting the not available in your region blah message.
9. (COMPUTER) Now once you're in the page of the app you want, you should see in the right side a button that says "Get Now with 1-Click" and underneath that you should see the model of your phone displayed (which confirms your phone is now linked to the Amazon appstore)
10. (COMPUTER) You will be taken to the next page saying you now own that particular app and to check the Amazon Appstore app on your phone for the download. You would have also received an e-mail form Amazon confirming your order.
11. (PHONE) On the Appstore app, press the menu button (for my SGS, I dunno what it's called in other phones) then select "My Apps" it will say "Checking for new apps" or something on the bottom and after a few seconds you should now see your app being downloaded! After the download finishes, it will take you to the install prompt as with normal side-loaded apk installs where you confirm you want to install.
Tada! You can get apps from the Amazon Appstore from anywhere! I haven't tried it with paid apps. But I've already downloaded WSOP and Angry Birds Rio and successfully installed both and have gotten to play both with no problems.
Sorry I don't have screens for everything since I already went through the enabling process which is a one time only thing~
ENJOY!

This particular guide didn't work for me. Followed every single step, but I still get the country message on my phone and also on my PC.
I've even tried browsing the Amazon Appstore on my PC through a VPN on the United States, but I still got the same country error.
Tried reinstalling the Amazon Appstore app, also adding an US card to my Amazon account, nothing.
Either they fixed the hole, or I am doing something wrong.

nope doesn't work for me either

This one worked great for me. Thanks very much

Both methods didn't work for me " The Amanzon Appstore for Android is not yet avaible in your region"
VIVO- Brasil.
Nexus S Stock 2.3.4 rom

why not have a try with app Market Unlocker on the phone? Unlike market enabler, it can set fake provider and proxy for your Android Market and Amazon appstore, which looks like you're visiting from US (IP address). So you will be able to check out paid apps.
Search and check out "Market Unlocker" in Android Market

Have not followed the guide.
But US VPN does work if you already have billing address and One Click setting.

its not working anymore
I think the amazon appstore has been updated to detect your address (using your wifi connection) so any method I have tried is not working anymore.
I have seen a version of the MP3 player patched so it won't do that, and it actually works, maybe patching the appstore would work to make it work again.

Not true. I just registered recently without any proxies. You need a US number, address and a credit card. I used an amex card which was accepted
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

Any update on this matter?
I added an american card and address at amazon.com and I activated also the 1click.
But I still get from amazon.com the message for the of geographical restrictions.
I tried also through proxy to login, but the page needs cookies and can't continue.

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] Enable US/UK Google Play Store Version

Hello guys! I make this tutorial for who live in outside USA and wanna try US/UK Google Play Store version. On this time, you don't need a root access or deodexed phone and installed Market Enabler because on this time, we will using VPN (Virtual Private Network). This tutorial won't make your phone/sd card damaged because this tutorial didn't modifying any system files! (yeah!). Just look at the instructions carefully. But if you still afraid, very recommended to make a nandroid backup first!
Instructions
1. Download latest TunnelBear version from Google Play Store (It's free)
2. Log in or sign up.
3. If you have logged in, turn on TunnelBear and then choose UK or US (i choose US)
4. Wait until your phone connected to TunnelBear VPN.
5. Now, back to your home screen (don't force close it!)

Can't get it to work
Hi abielzuliom.
If possible, I would like your help.
Over the last couple of days I have been trying several methods to access the US Play Store (including the one you posted here), but I can't get any of them to work !
I've tried your instructions, I've tried apps like Market Enabler, Market Unlocker, DroidVPN, Market Helper, but none worked, I always get my default Play Store.
I know the VPN apps are working because when I go to the whatismyip website, it shows me an United States IP.
I've even tried a GPS faker app, to fake my location. Google Maps "tracked me" in the United States, but I still get the default Play Store.
Can you help me?
Here is my data:
Phone: Galaxy S3
Firmware: Stock Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2, ROOTED
Play Store Version: 4.3.11
Carrier: ZON Mobile (virtual carrier that uses Vodafone's network)
I live in Portugal.
Thanks in advance.

Try to using Google Play Store with or under 4.3.10 version. If still didn't work, try to using Wi-Fi when you open Google Play Store at the first time after following my instructions. I hope this can help you and sorry for my bad english

Hi.
I did the same.
Created a new Google account with both Tunnel Bear and Market Helper activated (to fake an United States IP address and phone carrier).
Now I just need to activate Tunnel Bear and login to my US account in the Play Store .
Strange thing though, when I search for an app on the Play Store that exists only in the us (like Netflix), the app doesn't show up.
I have to look for it in Google (for example, I type "Netflix Android") and then click on the Play Store link that appears. The link then takes me straight to the app on the store .
Does this happen to you also?
Anyway, thank you all for the help

Yes. True.

Hello guys! I make this tutorial for who live in outside USA and wanna try US/UK Google Play Store version. On this time, you don't need a root access or deodexed phone and installed Market Enabler because on this time, we will using VPN (Virtual Private Network). This tutorial won't make your phone/sd card damaged because this tutorial didn't modifying any system files! (yeah!). Just look at the instructions carefully. But if you still afraid, very recommended to make a nandroid backup first!

Thanks bro!

Or use a free vpn service like us.newfreevpn.com if your data of Tunnelbear gets over. Although it's a lil bit risky if you're buying stuff from Play store, although I've been doing that for over a year now so IDC

It doesn't get connected
My tunnel bear is not connecting! I can't understand that the image is not valuable for that? See the image fnd's

When using TB can search but when dc the VPN TB , cant search big problem !

have to set another account which previously not linked to the playstore... but still works!

Using American version of google play store
:fingers-crossed: I have a Samsung Note 3 and was having the exact same problem as you. I tried Tunnelbear which did change my ip address to america and I registered for a new google account from my American ip, but the play store kept reopening as the Australian version even after force closing and reopening it several times. I eventually fixed this issue by performing these steps:
-click settings on your phone
-click on general
-click on accounts
-click on google
-click on username
-click on remove account and continue
Now when you next open google play store it will open onto a sign-up/logon page, and just sign in with your new American acount details and the American version will be activated.
It's also worth mentioning that following the above steps will most likely sign you out of all other google apps as well, such as gmail. Really hope this solves your problem .
My device is a Samsung Note 3 running 4.3, and I'm in Australia on the Telstra network.

Need Google play services apk for verizon galaxy s III

I recently received a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III with android 4.4.2 from a friend, but it doesn't have Google play services, nor does it have Google play installed. I tried a factory reset but that didn't work and I found out you need a specific Google play services app or it wont work. The usb port is also broken so I cant hook it up to a computer. Please help.

I have several play services apk files but I'm not on the locked bootloader. Unsure if it will work, I know where to find versions if your requesting a specific one
And that's very odd that it doesn't have play installed. Most come pre installed especially on a verizon rom
From my CM11 S3

He said he rooted it before and accidentally uninstalled Google play services and that he couldn't find the right one to reinstall either, so that's why it doesn't have it on there. Also, I need the right apk for my phone because I read that you need the one with a specific three number ending in the app version, but I don't know what mine is because my phone doesn't have the app so I can't check the last three numbers and I have tried a couple apks before but they didn't work

From my CM11 S3

If someone that has a Verizon Galaxy s III running android 4.4.2 Kitkat could post a screenshot of the app info of Google play services, or just post the full version number from the app info under application manager, I would probably be able to find the right apk.

I have another S3 here at my house, my gfs S3 but she has it with her, I could get that if you can wait. Your call
From my CM11 S3

I am able to wait. It's not like I'll die if I don't have google play services.

Here is a screen shot of play services, stock 4.4.2 Verizon S3.
I may be wrong, but if you get the play store installed won't it download and install play services? Is been awhile since I've had to mess with it.

I haven't tried installing google play store before trying to install services. Maybe it does download and install services, I'll have to try it. Thanks for the screenshot as well.

So I installed google play store 5.0.38, and when I open it the screen to either login in or create an account appears and I put in my info and hit sign in but a message appears (in attached screen shot) and i cant sign in but i can sign in to google through my browse, and I've tried my neighbors internet (with his consent) just to check its not just mine, but it doesnt work on my neighbors either. Any ideas?

I'm not home right now, but give me a bit and I will try and pull my play services and get it to you. Not having it may be your sign in problems.
Oops, just noticed the last couple posts. I can still get you mine if you need it. Also, check and see if play services is actually running.

Google play services is running, I'll attach a screenshot of it with this post. But if its not too much of a hassle, the apk from your phone might work.
