Please help me?

I made a not to wise choice and bought from a china store. The mini tablet I bought has no app market installed. I have download many "google play store '.apk'" files and they all install, when I open them, they crash RIGHT off the bat! I have done this at least 5-10 times.
If anyone...anyone... can help me, please let me know! Please, please, please.
Thanks a ton for anything,
Thomas

Ok then, make sure its the correct play store for your Android version (GB gapps won't work on ics and vice versa).
And if you have a custom recovery, try flashing Google apps

Rooting methods are different for each device, but you should probably try using superoneclick or unlock root.
(You need drivers installed)

You can check this method but you nead to know if it is the right one for your android virsion first...

GOogle them, superoneclick is a .zip file you must unzip it and open the application, unlock root is an .exe just execute it. They both are one click root programs. Very simple.
And China phone companies don't have many root prevention security (they don't care) so either one of those should work

Nope, both PC applications. You have to connect your phone and run them.
They are two different applications, so if one doesn't work the other probably will. If neither work let me know

Ok, I tried the superoneclick and it said I had to have a driver, but it did not come with one. What do I do now?

In order for the computer to recognize the device, it needs drivers. They used to come on a disk (way old school) but now they are usually online. Chinese tablets drivers are harder to find, but there has to be one out there. Try googling "<model> drivers"

That's the stock system recovery. Just used for wiping the phone and applying updates (if they ever release any lol). After rooting, its usually changed to a custom recovery for phones that have enough development, which allows way more options. But that's another matter.
If you REALLY cannot find the drivers (I couldn't either, could barely even find the model.) then your only chances are to root with gingerbreak or z4root, but both were meant for Android 2.3 and below. They're applications, so couldn't hurt to try them, but by now there is a very low chance.
SoC and UR both work amazingly well, maybe you could try contacting not the sellers for the drivers but the manufacturer (chinavision?)

What are 'SoC' and 'UR' ? If I root it with one of those, will it become Android 2.3?

Oh sorry for not clarifying, they're just my abbreviations of super one click and unlock root.
Rooting won't change your operating system, its just that methods meant for older versions of Android, like gingerbreak, probably won't work.

Switch recovery

Is it true that CWM is not good for flashing roms? Im using CWM and was wondering how to switch?
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app

It works perfectly fine. There are simply alternatives, if one was made for your device.
AFAIK, CWM's only problem is interface. TWRP is full touch but is not widely supported like CWM
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium

Not widely supported means not many people uses it right ?
Sent from my ST25a using xda app-developers app

It means that some of the lesser known ROMs may not work on it.
I've always used CWM and never had a problem at all with it

Google "TWRP <device name>" and see if it is available. If it is, just follow the directions on the thread.
Flashing recoveries varies by device. The less supported overall it is, the harder it is to get a recovery on it.
Example: my Motorola Cliq, Droid, and LG Ally had official CWM, so I could just download the official app (rom manager) and tap flash recovery. My Flipside did not have official support, so I had to download a 3rd party app meant for the Flipout (which happen to have similar hardware so some stuff was interchangeable) and tap flash recovery. For my LG mytouch I had to use ADB, and later someone in the thread found a way to flash via terminal emulator commands (I ultimately ended up bricking my Mytouch, though... whatevs)
@kidcarter93 lol, OK (sorry I was too lazy to quote)

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up

Hmm, what pacman version are you using and are you using BMM to install it? It could also be a bad download zip but I guess it would indicate that to you during the installation. Well if you did use bmm and installed it on system 1, try fxzing back to stock, reinstall bmm and try it again on a different system.

Ahaa, I guessed that was where you were going wrong. More recently introduced ROMs like pacman, aokp, carbon, etc. require that you use Boot Menu Manager (BMM) from the play store in order to install and run them successfully.
CM10 was one of our first working jb ROMs which used old bootstrap. But even the newer releases of cm require bmm now so we don't need bootstrap anymore except for like MIUI and older ROMs.
So if you still have bootstrap installed, you need to wipe its data in app management, uninstall it and then you're safe to install bmm. Read the bmm installation guide for further instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115715. I hope this helps you and good luck! :thumbup:

Can you access bmm at startup? If so, try wiping cache and dalvic cache of the system to see if it helps. If you can't access bmm, then you'll have to fxz back to stock, reroot and install bmm. If you mean your phone won't turn back on at all, then try pulling the battery and letting it charge for a while.

I could tell, but no worries. There are numerous threads in this section with guides for new A2 owners, especially a thread called 'The ask anything' thread.
For your current case, you have fell victim to what is called soft-bricking, which means there's a software failure preventing the phone from booting normally.
What you need to do is charge your battery externally with either a battery charger or using the Mcgyver method. (search and you will find it in this section). Once charged enough, put your phone into fastboot mode (hold the power button+ volume down button) and then use RSD lite or a fastboot script to flash the appropriate sbf file for your phone's region.
Use this thread for more details and ask for more assistance if needed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2245825 Good luck! :thumbup:

i am using the newest version of bootstrap at least thats what it said. I think i also need a bigger sd card im using the one that came with it and im already having sd space issues.

Well you need to uninstall bootstrap and download BMM from playstore. All the ROMs supports BMM. There's a thread on how to uninstall bootstrap safely, search for it . Good luck.
