Hi all,
I have a star a3 which I've had for about a week, I am having trouble getting market place to work and also getting rid of the chinese apps. I have read the threads and even posted in another thread but I have not got any help. I have rooted the phone but the qqmobile security is not allowing me full access to superuser and I cannot install apps. Does anyone maybe a back up of the original software but minus the chinese apps with market place ready to go. I'm on 2.3.5
Thanks in advance.

I don't have a copy of the ROM, but i can help you out with a copy of google play and root explorer. Using root explorer you should be able to delete the security app along with all the other Chinese applications (I do have a list of whats safe to delete too)
I bought 12 of these phones, from 2 different suppliers and none of them had this qqsecurity which you are talking about so I am not sure exactly what it does or how to get rid of it. But I can point you to a 2.3.5 ROM for the star A3 that is also minus all the crapware you don't need if you want to go down that route of re-flashing the whole phone.
I would like to have this ROM. How can I find it?

Hi guys,
I need your kind help. I am in Ireland/UK/EU
I bought THL W6 from Antelife : tinyurl.com /cprnkvj
Basic Information
Model:THL W6
Band:2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz
3G: WCDMA 850/2100MHz
Sim Card: Dual Sim Card Dual Standby
OS: Android 4.0.3
CPU:MTK 6577 1GHz Cortex A9 Dual Core + SGX531 GPU
ROM:4GB
RAM:1GB
Screen: 5.3 Inch
The phone works fine,but the app store pre-installed in in chinese...so I installed googlplay, it installed fine, but when I click on it It does not open. Although I can install many of the application via 'apk installer' but its really pain to find to apps on 4shared and some local apps are only available on GooglePlay.
I emailed, antelife, and no help or reply from them. emailed THL W6, they replied "We only deal with china customers" So basically there is no support for this phone. and I come across xda developer, although there are many other models of chinese phones here are talked about, but I could not find THL W6 model.
I am afraid to brick it incase I installed wrong image or rooted it incorrectly. I have rooted/jailbroken android, iphones, ipads in the past, but this time I m bit worried this time.
I found another website 4pda.ru/forum/ index.php? showtopic= 400088 and found to be helpful to some extent, but the image and contents are in russian, so not much of help either.
Can any one please help me to root and run GooglePlay store or guide me to right direction.
Many thanks in advance for your kind help and support
regards

I am not sure, did you root your phone already or not yet. but its certain you have to root it and install CWM ROM and then move gapps zip to memory of your phone, restart phone in recovery mode and install from SD card "yes" it will install google play and also will fix Location services and will remove other not needed files from phone(only if you want to)
I had made a detailed guide at gurufoxy.blogspot.ie and also a small video just giving some overview, that what is involved etc.

Hi,
fine that you have solved the problems with the app store.
But wondering that you had problems because have the same phone and app store runs with no problems.

I think it depends from who you buy the phone, some chinese sellers sell the phone rooted and googstore apks pre installed, some even asks extra charges to do rooting etc for you and some even dnt bother doing anything, they only send you the phone as it is(as happened in my case and other previous poster).
I found out after I got the phone that GooglePlay store does not work in China and they have different Appmarket and search such as Biadu over there. So people should make sure this thing with the chinese seller before they placed the order or better asked for rooted and googlePlay store installed to escape all this hassle.:silly:
Can it be that your phone only supports 3 languages,english and simplified/ traditional chinese ?
Then we knew the difference why my app store works, have an multilingual version.
ROM: ThL.W6.121110.ICS.V13.QHD.EN.COM.8P32_S501_MT6577
The phone was not rooted, but after searching MTK Droid Root & Tools helped.
That may the cause of googlePlay crash.
On my phone it shows different version ROM than yours, and it does not shows many languages and choices either..
Well, the phone is in great form, its still fast while running so many different apps in the background, but you can imagine it drains the battery fast, but if I turn off bunch of apps, battery life gets better.

No, just rooted and added clockwork recovery to mine. The standard rom is decent once you've removed the chinese stuff from the phone.

To my understanding, the 4 gig ROM has been divided into several areas, such as system files area, cache area, Internal storage area, phone storage area. When you install applications, it will be stored either in the Internal storage or phone storage area. The 2 gig area you mentioned is the phone storage. You can check the spaces left on your phone through "Setting-> Device-> Storage".
For the gps issue, I think this may help. (Since I am a new user, the system does not allow me to issue an external link as such I put a space after the "http") "http ://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=n&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&eotf=1&u=http%3A%2F%2F4pda.ru%2Fforum%2Findex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D393538%26st%3D760%23entry17787246"
Good luck.

Getting 942 error when useing marked helper

The device changes name in Android Device Manager and I can make the browser version of play store add the app. But when my nexus 5 should starts downloading it the error 942 pops up.
Running stock android 5.0 rooted with modified boot.img for running root on 5.0.
Can confirm that it did not work on my device when I had KitKat 4.4.4
Gets stuck on step 2 on Note 4 with stock. I gave it root. Any help would be appreciated.

Wait what? You don't have to choose your actual network, but you must choose the network you wish you had instead, which means anyone in the list.
Forcefully Closed
I have Samsung Galaxy Gt S5670 mobile phone , With market Helper I've updated my phone & I've downloaded games ( thank you for this app ) , but those downloaded games are not running & it's been getting forcefully closed .. So now what to do ???? plz also mail me at : [email protected]
There may be tons of reasons... For example: have you overclocked your phone? What app are you trying to use? Your hardware might not support it..

Hi. I got the same but what worked for me.
1)Kill the Market Helper app (and google settings app)
2)Start Market Helper again
3)Choose Samsung Galaxy S3 (that one worked instantly)
4)Than choose anything else you want.

I have a custom rom with Android 4.2.2 on my Gionee Elife E6 and I've been trying to install an .apk file for 3 days now, only to get the "There was a problem parsing the package" error. It took me 2 days and another device with Android 4.4 to realize the application has an Android version restriction. I've been searching the web for 3 hours now and I can't seem to find any help in changing the app's requirements, and while browsing the apk's files I cannot seem to find any file to have a code line about android version restriction. Can I get some help please? I am so desperate to get this app working right now

Hey,
First of all, is there a nice dev who can move this question to the right forum?
Now to your question. There are some options to archive the goal. But the real problem could be, that the app really depends on a function which is just available on KitKat or higher. So even if you could install it. It most likely won't run.
And you'll just see FCs

I don't think the app uses any functions that 4.2.2 doesn't have, I am talking about Pokémon GO . Care to share with me those possibilities you are talking about?
