Root Un-blocking US Apps

[hsjnlssmith]

I moved to Holland and brought my HTC Vivid with me. I have spent several days going through this forum and other sites and was finally able to:

* Un-lock my bootloader
* Root my phone
* Install MarketEnabler (apk file)
* Install VPN Hideman

This was all an attempt to gain access to US (region blocked) apps.

* I ran MarketEnabler and set my provider to Verizon (US).
* I then ran VPN Hideman and was able to change my IP address to a US IP

However, this didn't fool Play Store into thinking I was in the US. I still am blocked from installing the US apps I want.

Can someone provide any help regarding what I am doing wrong or what else I need to do? I hope that this effort to root the phone was not done for nothing.

Thanks,

HSS
