How would I be able to trick the market into thinking I am based in the us? There are a few apps like Google books and even nook is not available for my country. With the phone I can slip in a t mobile similar and problem solved.
I have tried using market enabler but that is a no go.
For me my account is American, was created in the US and is backed by an American card. I don't "miss" any software that users outside the US do. Unfortunately, I live in Mexico. So while I have full access to the US market, it shows me prices in pesos, which pisses me off to no end. Not a huge problem, but annoying.
So to note: My A500 was bought in the US, my market account was made inside the US, with all US information, here in Mexico it works just like when I'm in the US only the prices are in pesos. Dunno how hard it would be to setup an account from outside to US to look like it was inside. Use a VPN while you set it up I suppose, look up some random business address and phone number if it asks for such. As far as buying a tablet in the US, well that'd be harder.

Thanks for replying. So basically I will need to reset from a fresh tablet using a bocom?
Seems like google does not give much love fire non us fans.will try to look for a vpn to find out.
Here's what I did:
Kill the market
Clear the cache
Remove my gmail account
Turn off all the location settings
Turn on airplane mode
Turn on wifi
Run market enabler
Restart market
re-enter my gmail account
Now the market shows me the books tab, and apps allow in-app purchases. None of these were possible before. Hope this helps.

Here's how I always do mine:
a. Root your device and install Market Enabler
b. Remove all synced accounts in your Tablet
c. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market and Clear the data of the Market App
d. Run Market Enabler and choose T-Mobile or Verizon
e. Open the Market App and it should prompt you to login a registered Google Account
h. Once logged in, Market should recognize your A500 as a T-Mobile/Verizon A500
Note that you need to do this every time you reboot your tablet. Additionally, the trick also works for the browser version of the Market (it should list your device as T-Mobile/Verizon registered).
Thanks Will try that, because when i tried it with just the vpn, it did not work. Quick question, have either of you upgraded to the leaked 3.1? because that seems to be "china/taiwan" rom.
I got this working on 3.0.1 and the leaked 3.1 China ROM.
I'm on Picasso custom rom right now but haven't tried it yet as I just changed ROM a few hours ago.
You also mentioned using VPN - no need for that.
Thanks. Got it working, but still cannot see nook, google books, earth and some others.could you see if you can see google books on yours?
The Books link shows up in my Market but does not contain any books on sale.
As for Google Earth, I was able to see and download it before (and Blogger app too). Same thing for other paid games like Dungeon Defenders and Pinball HD that did not show up in my region before. Not sure about Nook as I never looked for it but it should be there.
You can check the browser Market App to see if your Acer A500 is registered to Verizon/T-Mobile. It it's not, it's possible that the hack was not properly executed (items for sale in $ but you are not able to see region-locked apps).
Did you also turn off the location settings (no need to go on airplane mode) as advised by ill_dawg?
I can see the books tab, but not the books app. I am going to try to reboot, clear cache and start from there, turning off all location services and try.
Ok rebooted into recovery cleared cache and also dalvic cache for good measure. Start up, take away all sync apps, clear data on market app. launch market app and can see the google books tab, but still not the app. On the desktop browser, i can see the app, but cannot actually download to device, because it is still not verizon or tmobile. Have you actually got a 3G tablet? Thanks for help Panda, much appreciated.
Omg just Google for Market access.apk; if the device is rooted, u won't experience any problem setting a default location and backing data up.
Hi,
Just an update, I was able to dl Google Books from the Market.
Unfortunately, this method does not seem to work with the Books Market only the Apps Market. Sorry!

Thanks panda. I am still not seeing books on the market. Must be doing something wrong. Market access is just another market enabler, which already does not work for me. It's alright tho, sideloaded the app anyway.
I had seen books on my market...which ussually doesn't appear ....by installin market enabler on my phone and settin it to at&t.....or sprint(for codes look for market enabler codes) and used wifi tethering for internet access on my a500.....and it worked!.....and as a matter of fact price currency didn't change but books was available....so were the other apps which weren't b4.....so....give it a try(don't forget to clear market data).......and FYI....when I then I used regular wifi....books dissapeared!

ok quick update. Redid the whole procedure and it worked this time. Was able to download the US only apps. My mistake was to just untick the sync accounts. Whereas this time, I REMOVED them as was instructed and it worked. Thanks guys.

i read in the moto section some time ago, it was enough to replace the build.prop with Verizon build.prop of xoom, but it didnt work.
so i used a VPN carrier (overplay.net) and instantly i got books and videos access so its for sure testing your origin by ip address.
and it worked with a A500 (PRIMEE!/asus) profile too.. as i tested videos (i just looked at its trailers)
but for me VPN is the only way it works, and if i disconnect vpn, i loose my web videos. i did not check if the books access also got lost as well, but the books remained on my bookshelf.

Hi guys,
Am about to purchase a KF tomorrow, but I wanted to go over some things quickly.
I know to use this in Canada, such as amazon prime (which I'm not a member of anyway) I have to have a VPN from the states. If I don't use a VPN from the states, am I still able to use the Kindle, or will it stop me at the registration page? If I have to use a VPN from the US, how hard is it to setup? I share my router with my family, would that cause issues?
Assuming I can avoid the VPN route, I would like to root my Kindle to have access to android marketplace. Once I route it, will I be able to access android marketplace instantly, even if I don't have an american VPN?
And finally, am I able to transfer stuff to kindle, such as books from mediafire that were free, and mp3's without having to go through amazon? Do they have their "desktop manager" for the KF or something?
Sorry for all the questions, been trying to do some research and just wanted clarification,
Thanks, any help/advice is appreciated!
Canadian Kindle Fire user here.
To answer your questions, you can definitely register the Kindle Fire easily out of the box with Amazon. As far as I know, they do not care what IP you come from during the registration process. Once you register, your KF will show up on your Amazon.com page under Manage Your Kindle. So simply put, registration is a breeze.
The KF does not have the ability to connect to a VPN (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1376742) but I have read that a lot of people have been successful with Unblock US (http://unblock-us.com/). As I understand it, they use DNS masking rather than having traffic route through a VPN. I haven't tried it yet but they do have a free trial so there's no risk. I am holding out for a VPN solution because I have already paid for a VPN service. Assuming Unblock Us works, you will have access to Amazon Prime (theoretically) and Netflix US. I do know that Netflix US does check for a US address on your credit card before allowing you to register ... I assume Amazon Prime does the same but your first month is a free trial so there is no need to verify a US address on a credit card as you don't enter it when registering. I would assume that when you go to renew, you will have to find a work around in order to allow Amazon to let you register/pay for Amazon Prime.
I tried sending a PDF to my KF yesterday using the provided email address [email protected] but I have not received it. Not sure why that is ... I have a 2 other Kindles so I know it's not a 'I'm an idiot and don't know how to use the Kindle interface' ... but you can definitely use a USB cable to transfer your content over. Alternatively, you could easily set up a Dropbox account and install the Dropbox apk onto the KF and get content that way.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Everyone in Canada is stumbling their way through this so remember the novel that I wrote for you and pay it forward when you can help a forum member. Cheers
Jayce
Jayce, thank you so much for the info!
I have some friends who are in the same boat as me, but your info is a huge help and convinced me to purchase the KF.
Will probably send you a PM if I have any questions and will forward your post to anyone who asks a similar question.
Thanks!
Sure thing. No problem but if you have a general question that might benefit the community, feel free to leave it here.
Canadian Kindle
I bought mine a few weeks ago, rooted it, installed Google apps, and basically made it an Android tablet. it works like a charm, GMail, Maps, Market, Calander (synced), Go Launcher, and Titanium BU.
It took some reading (XDA), ADB, and some learning but it works; I still can't buy software from Amazon but I can buy it from Google Market. I can however buy books from Amazon and read them on my Kindle App. Most of the time I download the app onto my Razr, and then send the apk file to my Kindle using Gmail.
All in all I am very happy with it.
Bought the kindle fire, rooted it, love it so far!
The only issue I'm having is that I downloaded the android marketplace app, after rooting it, but it simply says "you must add an account to use this device..." to which I say yes, and then it boots me out back to the home screen.
I tried looking up videos on how to install android marketplace (vender apk, root explorer all installed) but still no luck.
I also grabbed the Go Ex Launcher, but can't figure how to access my videos folder.
Great device though, so glad I picked one up

Try following the steps here:
http://www.kindlefirewire.com/2011/11/17/how-to-install-android-market-on-kindle-fire/
This worked like a charm and assuming you used Super1Click, it should be very easy for you as well.
As far as videos go, I use MX Video and it automatically discovers videos on my SD partition. I load them into my KF using a USB cable.

You will be able to use the KF like any other Android tablet to read email, internet browsing, running android applications and play games. However, without rooting, you have to side install applications. This method is not friendly. To be able to install applications to install from Google Ply Store, you need to root the KF. There are some simple guides available in this XDA forum that are good for you to read to explore deeply the KF as a wonderfully android tablet. Here is a link to one of many simple guides:

Hello Guys,
since Yesterday i have the Problem that i can´t downloading stuff from the Amazon Market. I has allready worked fine the last Day (i´m from germany).
But now if i clicking on "Get Free" the purchasing screen appears and the than i go back to "get free" but nothing happens.
Someone have the same issue?
I had some similar issues the other day. What worked for me was clearing cache and data on the appstore app.
Go to Settings>More>Applications and change the filter to "All Applications". Scroll down and select "Appstore". You may be able to just clear cache and force stop at this point but I cleared the data as well before stoping the app (you won't lose any apps).
Go back to the appstore and try to download again. Hope it works for ya.

No Luck with this.
Still the same issue, after clearing cache and data.
I have a similar issue.
Since yesterday I can't get the free apps anymore. When I click on it, it says purchasing, then goes back to "get free" button.
I was using a "test" credit card to get the apps because I'm not in the US.
Wonder if amazon fixed the leak or if its just a temporary glitch.
I did clear the appstore data and cache, and after that I got this problem. Don't know if it could be related or if it was just coincidence.
I cleared the appstore data and cache because an app got stuck in the installing process.
not working for me either since yesterday, i am also using a fake US address and test credit card. clearing data and cache did not help, but i was able to get free app of the day from the computer and then download on device.
I think it is a temporary glitch.
Ive had this happen on my phone and I use real info because I'm in the us... the only solution was time... after a couple days (once it was a week) it started working again

Use a VPN on the computer. I use Hotspot Shield. You can use various others available to trick it to think you are in the US.

Go to the Amazon app store on your computer, log in and then you can purchase or download apps and send them to your device.
Works great for me for the time being.
Good luck
Since my free month of Prime expired I haven't been able to get anything off Appstore, I'm not in the US though so I'll have to try via VPN.

From my side it still work when i place the order by the Amazon website.
If you get the message "We could not process your order because of geographical restrictions..." you have to use Unblock-US to get it work.
Was having same problem, tried faking gps location and using market enabler didn't work.
so i logged in here amazon(dot)com/mobile-apps/
after logging in i used a US proxy which i got from cool-proxy(dot)net/index.php?action=proxy-list - use sort by country.
after that i just clicked purchase (on free app) and it was able to install it from store.
Hope it helps
Amazon has fixed the vulnerability and I can no longer use it from India using the Fire, on trying to buy any free app it says Appstore is not available in your region, i had made an account with fake US address and a test credit card.
However I can still use VPN to log on the Amazon website and get all the free apps from the website and then download the apps to the device.
Hopefully this is the best place to post such a question -
Is it possible to use the Amazon Kindle App Store in the UK? I can download free books from Amazon however when I try getting something like Angry Birds, I get the "the amazon app store is not available in your region" error.
Any ideas?

Having only VPN does not work.
For Appstore, you need to have a US issued credit card and actually you don't need any VPN or proxy to download apps.

As long as you have working adb and fastboot, you don't even need to touch the kindle. (Other than to plug it in and install these things.)

It will work outside US, no matter you root/flash it or not, you can still browse web, read docs/books/comics, watch your own videos...
But you may not use the Amazon version of "Market" to get apps.
And for sure you can flash it, root it and enjoy almost full Android features.

UK user - to root or not to root!
Hope my message sits correctly in this thread...So, my KF has just arrived (UK) - yet to turn it on, and hoping for your advice please!
Do I:
1/ Turn it on, put in WIFI password, allow the OS update, see what works and what doesn't in the UK
2/ Enter some elaborate hoax by using USA IP address etc to try and get access to cloud, games etc
3/ Go for broke - root it and install Android 2.3. Have done this with a ZTE blade before, but the more I read, the harder it looks (especially when you factor in most 'how to' guides need access to the Amazon app store at least once to get started. Any UK specific walkthrough's available?
Concerned that option 1 will rule out options 2 or 3...
Would genuinely appreciate any advice or tips from 'one who knows'. FYI I got the Kindle via Ebay (new), £150 all in (and they threw in a UK plug, bless them).
Many thanks,

I'm in the UK and you can get most things to work on the fire bar the streaming.
For Access to the appstore set up a amazon.com account at a US address with a Dummy amex card number (google it) - If you want non free apps then buy a $ gift card with your uk amazon account and put it in the US account.
For Android market access with the stock Rom install TWRP and use the Modaco ROM.
If you set up the Amazon US account then you really don't need to do the TWRP stuff.
You also need to Install mobo player to play all formats of films in the UK. You can get the .apk with a google search.

The appstore doesn't check your ISP address by the way. Nor does the bookstore but the video sales does !!!!!!
If you are installing a CR then you don't have to worry, it runs perfectly. But you could also use the Stock Rom with an US Account.

I'm no expert by any means, but I don't see why 1 would rule out 3 unless Amazon's come up with something newer than 6.2.2 that isn't rootable yet.
Just for the record, though, I don't use amazon services other than reading kindle books through the kindle app. On ICS.

I followed the various instructions, set up a new amazon account with us address und us credit card, and also using ión my mac a us proxy not to have a regional ip (from gemany) but no matter how i try, i neither can get free apps from the amazon store on my kindle fire, nor can i purchase e.g. a movie.
does anyone know how to solve?
also my amazon store on the kf does not work, though telling me i use a non-us credit card, even though this is wrong, i use a us credit card.

I'm from Germany, too. To buy the free apps I'm using the Tor network with exit "noiseexit01[a,b,c,d]". It does work perfect. On the kindle fire you can use Orbot and set it up in transparent proxy mode (only proxy for the appstore).
For downloading use the normal ip without proxy. Works for me for more than half a year.
I dont have us creditcard so i'm using one my fakenamegenerator
i am living in Germany too. Before flashing ics I wanted to know whether there are any issues with wifi channel 14. Saw that mentioned in the known bug list of cyanogen mod.
is wifi working properly in Europe with the custom roms?
regards Torsten

Check out "World Wide Kindle Fire" app it will allow you to use the amazon prime service outside u.s and also use amazon market.. see the guide in their site for full details.
Good luck.
Hi,
I'm from Germany too and have no us credit card.
How is it possible to install free apps ? I need an explorer to root my kindle fire.
Greetings Max
