Why did the phone come from? Is it stock, unaltered from a phone company or retail store or what?
I have never heard of a stock phone without the market app. However, you should be able to flash an appropriate dev ROM for your phone (need to figure out if it is 32A or 32B), or flash a standard ROM.
You could just load the market apk but if that is missing I would really wonder what else is missing.
If your carrier does not have paid apps, then you can use Market Enabler to access them.
I have the same problem. Just received it as a gift that was purchased from www.blueflymobile.com and it seems that the Android Market is the only app that is missing. Why would they take it out???
Yeah my phone was the same, and the android market app is closed source and isn't readily available for download either. The dev guys may know how to inject one into your existing install, but it's probably easier to just flash your phone with one of the ROMs in development forum.

Had the same frustration about the missing market on my mobile. Seems like the missing market on the first non-google-branded HTC android mobiles is mainly caused by a missundestanding between google and HTC. Hopefully they set things straight and updates will be available soon which include the market. But then its good that we got some elite hackers/developers here on XDA
I had the same problem.
I flashed my phone last week to the newest rom update of cyanogen.
All works perfect now!!!!!
Sorry if i keep repeating the same problem as previous user. Im actually having the missing android market application aswell. I bought this from eBay UK from company called Elcell(www.elcell.co.uk). Turned out that it doesnt have any market, not even a single google application installed - just a plain htc phone with basic stuff. I'm just hoping someone would actually guide me a step by step on how to get Android Market manually because I've been looking for this for long time. I really really need help, please any expert people from this forum.
Airtel India Magics have no google apps either
I bought my Magic 32A from India Airtel. Guess what? No google apps there either and a perfected SPL which meant I had no way of flashing a replacement. I ordered a second HTC Magic 32A from the states and it had no google apps either.
Only way I have found to get the market on the phone is to reflash stuff. I don't believe the market can be packaged up like many of the other apps. There are alternatives like slideme.org which offers a "market-like" experience. They even have a agent you can install to quickly download and install apps.
But as nice as slideme could become; its nothing like the market. For the airtel India Magic phones, one is kinda stuck until getting the phone redone. There are some nice Hero ROMs out now.
For those who don't want to flash a cooked rom should get an official update from HTC soon if not already out. Seems like HTC and google cleared out the misunderstandings and future Android mobiles from HTC should ALL have the market installed. So the 32A models will be able to enjoy the google apps as well as exchange
My phone is running CM-6, and I can only see the Top Free and Just In tabs. How can I see the apps available for sale?
Thanks

Set your provider to T-mobile USA or something.
There is a better alternative program, the name escapes me, but this does the job just fine.
You Can download the apk here --http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15594566#post15594566
Recently, we’ve been hard at work improving Android Market to give you new ways to find great applications and games, purchase books, and rent movies. Today, we’re releasing a new version of Android Market which makes all of these available on phones (Android 2.2 and higher).
In the U.S., you’ll be able to rent thousands of movies, starting at $1.99, right from Android Market on your phone. With the Videos app, available in Android Market, there’s no more waiting for downloads, syncing, or worrying about storage space. Simply sign into Android Market with your Google account, and you can rent movies from anywhere – the web, or your Android phone or tablet – and start watching instantly. You can also download movies to your device so they’re available for viewing when you don’t have an internet connection.
Also in the U.S., you can now purchase books from Android Market on your phone. Like movie rentals, books are linked to your Google account, so they’re instantly available across all of your devices – computer, phone, or tablet – without the need for wires or downloads.
You’ll be delighted to find we’ve overhauled Android Market to make it faster, easier, and more fun to discover great apps, movies, and books. We’ve created more space to feature some of the most interesting content of the week on the home page. We’ve added more top charts, with newer, more relevant items, and we’ve made it easy to swipe through these charts as you browse the store. We’ve also introduced new collections of great content, like staff picks and Editors’ Choice apps.
The new Android Market will be rolling out in the coming weeks to Android 2.2 and higher phones around the world. You don’t need to do anything - the update is automatic on supported phones. If you’re in the U.S., you’ll also be able to download the Videos app, rent movies, and buy books once you receive the new Android Market.
Your phone is about to get a lot more interesting! Enjoy the new Android Market.

This isn't working for me for some reason. I installed the apk but it keeps saying "The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." Running cm7 nightly 19 on my HTC IS

Have to say I still like the version that comes loaded with the phone better, mainly due to speed.

there you go
Anyone thinks that the interface is good, but it's lagging so much that makes you hard to download any applications / update your apps.
I mean I love the "Editor's choice" and "Staff's Choice" thingy, it makes it easier for me to download apps through their recommendation but it lags
Anyway here's the default android market.
flash it using ur EX4 or clockworkmod or whatever recovery you're using
Cheers !
thanks,downloaded and installed.
Just a quick heads up, Amazon has opened the App store for all.....finally.

It appears that it was accidental, it wasn't meant to be released worldwide yet - so amazon disabled non-US access again.
Hopefully we'll get it soon !
Not yet!
In Czech Republic not yet, not available in mz region!
Hey there, my more experienced friends. I have been lurking for a while now, and am preeeeetty sure this question or some variation hasn't been asked yet. We'll see.
I am an American living in China and bought the Chinese unlocked dual SIM/SD card HTC One. Though I think it's a great phone, some aspects REALLY bother me.
#1 - It has this ****ty HTC Marketplace rather than the Google Play Store
#2 - I can't get the Blinkfeed to display anything but Chinese jibrish
After a few weeks of finding NO apps that I want, I took my phone to a large electronics market in Shanghai and had my phone rooted. Some things became better, some worse.
1) I asked the guy to get me the Play Store and he did...but not everything is available on it. I'm unsure why this is.
2) It's obvious that the Beats sound is no more.
3) I still can't get Blinkfeed to change whatsoever.
4) I can find more apps than before with both the Play Store and HTC Marketplace, but something is missing. I don't really know what it is.
5) The camera seems to be much less clear than it was before.
I guess my question is, since it's unlocked is there something I can do to wipe the Chinese stuff off of it and install all American software? Did the guy get me a less than optimal root? What am I doing wrong? What's the easiest solution?
All I want is for my phone to function like an unlocked US or International version. Thanks in advance for your help!
I suspect at least part of the problem is the government firewall blocking things.
You might start by installing Xposed framework and the Modaco toolkit module for it. Modaco has a setting that blocks the Play Store from checking your location.
But the best solution is probably flashing one of the custom roms with a non-carrier-specific setting. Not sure what that would do for you, but it should help.
I can confirm that the Government is blocking some of the apps. Both my phone have the play store but on is still on v3 and the other on v4. I couldn't find an airport security game and all the featured apps and top are also china-fied.

I suggest that you have a detailed read through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273570
It will tell you everything that is currently known about modifying these devices, including how to install patches for blinkfeed that will allow you to read foreign news, and facebook etc..if the firewall lets it in to china

VPN won't work.
You could have one of two issues.
If you just can't view certain apps, do a search in a browser and open the link to the play store. If certain apps can't be installed, then you need to fix it another way.
If you have a foreign SIM card, put it in the phone, empty the play store cache, restart phone. Once you restart, you will be able to view/install the apps available in the country that SIM is from.
Maybe there is a rooted method that works now, but last I checked there wasn't a reliable working alternative. I used this with my One X I bought/used in China.
