[solved] Unable to download anything from Marketplace using MIUI Rom

Hi,
I have downloaded the MIUI rom from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661
[Mar 11 ]HD2 MIUI 1.3.11 SD/MAGLDR ROM (Kernel-AmeriCanAndroid r3.01)
Now I am facing the following issues......
Setup
I am booting this ROM from SD; so when starting it's booting to Win6.5, and I have to launch it from Win6.5.
Issue 1
okay, in Android
- marketplace
- searched for Angry Bird
- hit download, and I can see that Android passed the download link to the "download manager", and download manager quickly remove it from the download - no error message
was wondering if I need to create a folder for them to put the file?
Is it possible to download the "Angry Bird" application on my computer, USB sync it to the phone, and run the application from the phone?
Issue 2
- i registered for beta version of swype
- i download swype, and tried to install it using it's installer
- swype is unable to let me generate a license for it;
===> do I need to set up permission for applications to access my SD storage?
Issue 3
I just discovered that this ROM has links to MIUI Market Place! very similiar to Android marketplace
and this time when I choose to download software from it, it says failed to download (in chinese); I can surf internet and receive emails from gmail though.
Has this got something to do with my cluster size? It's currently at 8kb
PS: I couldn't get any response/support from the development forum, so I guess someone could help me if I were post in the right forum?

I don't know about the market issues,but u can definitely download apps and games from the network ,go to options>application and mark unknown sources so u can install non market apps-games, enable mass storage in android,transfer the files to the sd,access it with astro(any file manager) or any other program u have and just press the file u want and it will ask u if u want to install it.
about the market issues maybe switch to another rom.

after download some apk and installing them into the mobile, and after a few restart/reboot, I can download from market place now.......

Guide for unlocking fastboot and flashing custom roms.
http://androidforums.com/optimus-gt...nogenmod-7-android-2-3-4-avaliable-gt540.html
My app root toolbox will flash a recovery image, all download links in my signature.
For root access use z4root. Don't update to 2.1 because z4root doesn't work on some versions of it.

Also have a look here before you change roms/unlock fastboot

Hey there
Nice to see you're still on 1.6 , We really need your help right now!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
If you haven't already rooted , Follow these steps :
1. Download http://bit.ly/9wAKC5 and transfer to phones SD Card
2. Download Astro File Manager in Market (Or any other file manager)
3. Open the file manager and locate the application you downloaded
4. Click on the File and Install the Universal Androot .apk
5. Run Universal Androot and select Superuser for 2.0 - 2.2
6. Click 'Go Root'
7. Follow any restart prompts
8. Go back into market and download Terminal Emulator
9. Follow the instructions from the CODE box on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123968
10. The files will be created in the backup1.6 folder on the SD
11. Using a computer, .ZIP these files and upload them to the filesharing site of your choice
12. Share the link to us
13. Be very proud of yourself, you've helped us all
Then after , I would install 2.1 using LG Software Updater (Easiest Method)
But EVERYTHING is deleted , Including contacts and SMS when doing so. To backup contacts , click Contacts , Press Menu and press Export then Export to SD
To backup SMS I recommend SMS Backup and Restore from Market.
Hope I helped Jamie

haha okei, i'll try to do that so i can give you a recovery imagine of 1.6
and you told me to upload to official 2.1 android through lg site,, i am known that 2.1 is just, mmm , as 1.6 XD i mean, you have problems to install things in the sd, and many apks does not work, and the flash is dead x.x haha
but well, i'll do that first before upgrading to another version!

first thing is to go in to the tablet settings and make sure "unknown sources" is checked, or you won't be able to install the apk. Then the best thing you could do is to use the browser on the tablet to download the iconiaroot apk, then once you have downloaded it you can click on it in the downloads to run it (instead of loading it through your PC)
Your next step should be to do the same thing with a market apk (google it and I'm sure you can find it) and get yourself a file manager, it will make future such things much easier.

Thanks, Unknown sources are checked and I also tried direct download to Tablet. But After Download, it doesn't install. Says can't open.
So plz inform, what to do next ???

Did you download an apk file? or a zip of an apk file? if it isn't the apk itself it won't work.
If you did get the apk, then I'm not really sure... maybe someone else has an idea? the other option would be to start by flashing a stock ROM from this thread to make sure you are starting from the same place as everyone else (if you want root stick to one of the HC3.1 series, I'd recommend 4.010.38)

Finally i got what i want with the help of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1113878...

[Q] got stuck on unpacking zImage...

hi there!
I have a viewsonic n710 tablet ,it's a fake Nexus7,and it's only saled in chinese mainland,I have to say ,it sucks,hardware and software!
about hardware ,I only can do nothing,but the software ,because it's similar with nexus7 ,so I decided to do something on it!
now here comes my question:
I got stuck on unpacking zImage ,I used all the methods that learned from xda here ,but only repack_zImage works,but whatever version I used to unpack the zImage ,the result seems not right,the early version I used can extract some files in the zImage_unpacked folder but it prompted wrong message and quit ,the newest versiion (0.6) I used can also extract some files in that folder but the program keep displaying many increased numbers and never stop unless you pressed "ctrl+c" to quit it forcely ,so I think the files maybe not right either!!!
in the first place ,I think the tools I used to unpack is not compatible with my n710 zImage,so I searched at least 3 different to unpack my kernal,
unpack ,unpack-initramfs,repack_zImage, the former 2 tools even can not extract anything from zImage ,only extract a folder named initramfs_root,only repack_zImage did something but seems not right!!
so I tried such ways to unpack nexus7 zImage for proving ,but it surprised to me that it can not unpack nexus7 either!!
I am confused now,I have been searching solution to solve this problem for two days,but a little achievment I got!!!
the only way I can do now to ask such question at here,I am sure that some people can extract right files from zImage ,(because they even can do an custom kernal for nexus7,:good:I adore them so much,)so will someone tell me how to unpack right files from zImage???or did I miss any important things for unpacking ,I am a green hand on linux system.,so I might make many silly mistakes on operation
!!
thank you very much in advance!!any suggestion and hint also will be appericated!!

Just because it might look/seem like a n7, its not one. Its different so our kernels wont work
Kernels aew very specific so they need to be made for the device because they have different hardware
Sent with from my Asus Nexus Unicorn

Viewsonic N710
Hi There
I agree with you, i bought the same Tablet and the prior Incident is that you can not install the Google Playstore. Contacting the "Customer" Support is useless cause you always have a different employee who answers emails or is on the Chat Line. I asked them now for about 6 Times to give me a RMA Number and the Return Adress and it they do not want to understand.
The Tablet itself seems to have a good Hardware, Sygic runs very fast and stable, i also installed some Games and they are very solvent.
Dolphin HD didn't runs for the First Installation but now also runs stable and fast.
There is an Instruction on Tabletrepublic but it didn't work for me. I was able to install the ADB Driver and can also run it from the DOS Box. I was not able to Root the Tablet which is necessary to get Google Playstore to Run.
Does anybody else has rooted this Device and can explain how he did it...?
Thanks
Michael

To root N710 is not a big deal any more!you can flash cwm recovery to help you ,I released cwm for N710 at Tabletrepublic,so just download the right version recovery for your tablet ,please aware that 1.01-1.05,1.07,they don't use the same cwm recovery!
after fflash recovery ,run into cwm recovery ,and flash superuser.zip just like nexus 7 does!
of course you can also flash the gapps.zip to get google service serial and what not !
good luck to you if you tackle it!

[root] ZTE Open C

I was browsing a help thread I have over at the dev.b2g google group this morning when I came across a post by Vance Chen. Look at the bottom of the thread and you will find a link to root the ZTE Open C!
You will need to have Windows Vista/7/8 to run the upgrade tool and flash the developer build.
First, you will need to download the ZTE Upgrade Tool, then you can either choose between a US build (for those of us who live in the Americas,) or an EU build (for those who live in Europe.)
Don't forget to remove your sim card before flashing!
Once you have the firmware downloaded, navigate to the directory you downloaded it to, then extract the .zip file. Now, open up the upgrade tool and click the browse button. You will need to navigate to the root directory of the extracted files. Once that's done, make sure your phone is detected and click update.
Here is the link!

No support at all lol for this phone, lol no matter I support myself, I have rooted device setup dual boot and built a recovery for this phone, now I like the phone.
Yes I know pics suck, I took them with a HTC EVO 4G, phone., back ups come out with 1970 date, I googled, just a date bug, doesn't bother anything. recovery boots to black screen, to overcome this , run scripts via adb in recovery then phone correctly displays cwm screen.
