Hello all! Please help!!! I have a rooted Kindle Fire HDX 7" that I have successfully used each and every day until yesterday. All of a sudden I kept getting the "Google Play Store has stopped" error message. I went back into ES File Explorer and hit the "Google Play services_4.4.52" file and installed hoping that this might help and now when I click on the "Google Play Games" app I get the "Update Google Play Services - This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services" Update message. Also nothing shows up inside the "Google Play Store" app as well.
WHAT DO I DO & HOW DO I DO IT?!?!?!?! I use this Kindle ALL the time and love it, but don't want to mess anything up any further without taking the proper steps from the experts!
Don't know if this is all the information you might need (my Google Play Store Build Version is 5.3.6). If I can provide anything further to troubleshoot, please let me know.
THANK YOU MUCH IN ADVANCE!!!!!!
I'm leaving town late this afternoon and hope to fix beforehand.
My 8.9 HDX is doing this too. I was wondering what changed.
My kindle fire 7" is doing the same. Was working fine yesterday and then today error after error. Now google play store shows "check your connection and try again" no joy there either. "Google Play services has stopped" repeatedly popping up.
Happening to my hdx too. Hopefully someone finds out what's going on soon.

Google Play services 7.3.x began rolling out last week and will silently update existing installations without notification/permission. Believe the prior version was 7.0.
Best guess is 7.3.x introduces an incompatibility with Fire OS 3.2.6 (likely all 3.x Mojito variants). Hopefully someone can identify a fix. Rolling back to v7.0 or earlier won't help as it will quickly auto update.
Google Play Services and Google Play Store are separate entities. The latter is currently at v5.3.x transitioning to v5.4.x. The two services can and often do update independently (and silently).

That's what I was thinking.
Those affected should downgrade Google Play Services to a previous version and prevent it from auto-updating.
Unfortunately, this prohibits the use of GApps on their latest versions or so, such as YouTube 5.0+
Try this
Go into your file browser that has root permissions I recommend es file manager.
Navigate to device press etc folder
Scroll to file named hosts open it with a text editor like the one in es file manager.
Delete the # sign or if still not working the whole text in it.
Once done reboot it may solve the issue. Worked for me on multiple devices.
This fix is for those who get the no connection error with retry button below it on play store or youtube.. This also applies to the your device may not be provisioned for data services error on sign in to Google account.
How do I know which magic 3 letter extension to get when I go to the repository for older versions? In particular I have the 7" Kindle Fire HDX. Secondly, assuming that I get the correct version, how do I install it? I assume that the standard click on a apk file won't work because its a lower version than what's currently installed?

Hey.
How to find correct version:
1. You need an installed version on your tablet (doesnt matter if its the non working new one or the one you had from beginning).
2. Go to Settings -> Apps -> all apps and browse to "google play services"
3. click it
4. below the name of the app (here "google play services") is the version of the installed app. The last 3 letters are the one you need. I have a "german" Kindle Fire HDX 7 (codename Thor) and i have version 036
Beside from that:
I managed to keep my kindle "unupdated" for 3 days now.. dont know if it stays this way. You need root and a root browser like ES File Explorer.
0. have root and install ES File Explorer of amazon store or play store or APK
1. download the 7.0.99 Version of "google play services" (last version that worked here) from any source you think is ok^^
2. uninstall "google play services" (in app menu see above)
3. disconnect from internet
4. install the downloaded 7.0.99 version
5. open ES File Explorer
6. go to /data/app and look for "com.google.android.gms-1.apk" this should be the 7.0.99 you just installed.
7. create a file (in /data/app) and name it "com.google.android.gms-2.apk"
8. Youre done.
Like this youtube, twitch, etc which stopped working with the 4.x version work and as the OS "thinks" that the ...-2.apk is the correct one, it tries to update this (which doesnt work as its an empty file).
All here is at your own risk!!!

With some exceptions v036 should work for most JellyBean and KitKat installations including those on Kindle HDX. I can confirm 036 works with the Nexus rom; don't have my tablet handy to check CM11. I suspect the same can be said for the gaps hacks on Fire OS which is either JB (Mojito) or KK (Sangria) based.

I need to pair a watch with a phone that has just AOSP flashed on it and so I'm trying to figure out if/how I can install Google Play Services/Google Play Store onto the phone. (In order to pair the watch with the phone I need to install the Android Wear App, but I can't do that if the phone doesn't have Google Play Store/Google Play Services installed).
My phone is a Nexus 5 with the Lollipop AOSP installed, so I just tried installing the GSP apks using adb but I keep getting error messages that GPS has stopped running.
I'm an iOS developer and new to Android and have been searching for days how to solve my problem without success, so I'd be grateful if somebody could help me with the following questions:
1) If I get Google Play Services and Google Play Store apks from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install them will I be able to access the Android Wear app on Google play and download/install/run it?
2) If not then if I get the Android Wear app itself from somewhere like apkmirror.com and install it along with GPS will the Android Wear app run?
3) When I try to install GSP why do I get the error messages about it stopping? Are there other dependent components I need to also install to make it run?
4) Can I install it using adb or do I have to install it using a recovery? If so, then why does a recovery have to be used to install it, whats the difference between installing via a recovery and installing via adb?
Thanks for any insight, I'm getting nowhere and getting frustrated trying to work all this out.
I had exactly the same problem and could solve it.
I described my solution here:
https://code.google.com/p/aosp4nexus5/wiki/AOSPforNexus5
The documentation describes two alternatives:
1. Manual installation which is lost with every new flashing of the system image
2. Integration in the build process to create a system image including Google Play Store as vendor-specific prebuilt APKs
Thanks, I'll try it out
Do you have any ideas where I could get GoogleServicesFramework.apk from?
Places like apkmirror have GooglePlayStore.apk and GooglePlayServices.apk for Lollipop but not GoogleServicesFramework, (why would they have 2 of them but not all of them?).
I don't have a Nexus 10 device so can't obtain them as you did in your post.

You can unzip the file gapps-lp-20141109-signed.zip from BasketBuild https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
You find it under system/priv-app/GoogleServicesFramework.
The name of the APKs may differ. GooglePlayServices is named something like GsmCore or com.google.android.gsm.
The Play Store is named something like Phonesky or Vending.
Thanks very much
Hello together,
After a bunch of testing I find out how Google Play Games Connections working under FireOS 4.5.4. This is essential for Backup Games like Clash of Clans (installed per sideload) to your Google Account for using on another Device.
I do the following:
Download the gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=53319258#post53319258
Install the following apk from folder gapps-kk-20150412-minimal-edition-signed\system\priv-app per sideload:
Google Account Manager 4.4.4-1227136
Google Backup Transport 4.4.4-1227136
Google OneTime Init 4.4.4-1227136
Google Partner Setup 4.4.4-1227136
Google Services Framework 4.4.4.-1227136
After that i get the following files from here:
http://google-play-services.en.uptodown.com/
google-play-5-6-8-multi-android.apk
google-play-services-7-5-74-1997312-070-multi-android
And the newest Google Play Games (3.1.1) from Playstore
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.play.games&hl=de
Downloaded the apk via
http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/
That combination of files working actually on my 3rd Generation HDX 7 with OS 4.5.4 and allows me to backup my Gameplay to Google Play Games Account.
Hope you enjoy!
Google Account Manager?
Hi, I am following your guide. I can't find Google Account Manager in the downloaded zip file. Can you help? Thanks
It's the file GoogleLoginService.apk.
So is this working ok
Working!
Did it on my kindle fire hdx 4th generation running 4.5.4 os and it actually works on apps like boom beach and clash of clans! Thanks!
nothing in the folders?
I was excited when I found your post. But I didn't get very far. I download the first step and the file is empty. I'm committed to getting by amazons crap.your help is so appreciated. God I wish I could go back and never buy this thing sigh.
Thanks,bryce
Can I install with this method other applications besides games?
So I did all the steps and got everything working until I go into google play and it just comes up at no internet connection when I do have one
I hate to necro an old thread, but I was wondering if this works with the latest FireOS release? I have a Clash account I want to synchronize/transfer to a new tablet... Appreciate it!
Hi,
despite I modded some Android Devices (phones, ouya) I still feel I don't know much.
I got my HDX 7" when Amazon offered them for 100 bucks 1,5 years back. I found 3 guides to get another Rom and think none were 100% correct/actual (HDX exposed didn't do anything for me) but with the mixture of the information I could get and alternate ROM and play store luckily not bricking it.
Now if my play store version got an updated I could not go into play store anymore and just got a wide screen. If I deactivated play store in settings/apps it said it wenn back to the original version. Now I could use play store again and install apps. But some apps like YouTube would start running until I get the uptodate version of play store. So most time I ran those apps with the newer play store version and only when I need to get a new app from the store and deactivated/downgraded it in the settings/apps. This went on for over an year.
Now it seems the play store is gone completely as it's not longer listed.
I found two gapps files (is the play store included in gapps? gapps-jb-4.2.2-signed.zip, gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip) for 4.2.2 and copied them to the device via an FTP server and than install the zip via safestrap. On the first boot it asked me for my name and 2 or 3 other values. But there's still no play store. The other file didn't produce better results. I even saw that I still have a file called hdx-nexus-gapps-v1.2.zip. But this also didn't work.
Next file I found is Amazon-Fire-5th-Gen-Install-Play-Store.zip which is extracted on Windows and has it's own ADB. But this didn't help either.
When I start my hdx I now also get something like "Kindle gets updated ... pls wait" and it stays for >30s. I think I didn't see this before.
So any idea what I do wrong?
Should I get a new CM ROM? What would be the best way to install it.
So I thing it's a modified Nexus Rom. There a glowing neon X during boot up. I also have SafeStrap. Build Number is JDQ39; Kernel 3.4.0. Modelnumber KFTHWI. Android Version 4.2.2.
First time opening Google Play: "Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]"
Finally rooted my HDX 7" (2013) on 4.5.5.1, installed Google Play and its components. Here's how I did it:
In the Amazon App Store, download ES File Explorer.
Open and go to "Favorites" in the top left then "Add."
Add the following site: "dwl [dot] gadgetsxray [dot] com" and name it "dwl".
Once added, it will appear under the favorites tab. Click it to open. Then click the top link.
Four files will appear ending in .apk. Click one file to highlight then click the three dots in the bottom right and select "Open in Browser" and open each .apk file with ES Downloader to download each file. Once all of them have been downloaded, choose to open the folder.
Select and install each .apk in this order: Services Framework, Play Services, Account Manager, Play Store - you'll be prompted to allow installations from unknown parties.
I then opened up the Play Store for the first time, and signed into my Google account. First thing I see is this error message:
Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01]
I can see that my Google account is still signed into the Play Store. However, I can't sign out of it because there isn't an "account settings" option in Fire OS. Any ideas how to get around this? I've already reinstalled the store and its components, and it already logged me into my Google account as soon as it completed.
Thanks for any help.
I've attempted this, seems that FireOS will cripple anything google, or any access to Google Play.
Amazon didn't sell the hardware itself, but instead Amazon Appstore content to your device. They gain the revenue from the content and the ads pushed to your device. That's why they sell it dirt cheap even cheaper than most chinese tablet but it comes with premium quality materials.
Seems to me after reading all the guides here, I can only see that the only way to push the Gapps inside is through flashing. Flashing zips requires you to have custom recovery and Kindle will remove custom recovery on each reboot.
I use this guide to get TWRP :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...t-install-twrp-android-fire-os-8-5-1-t3278286
Get the Gapps on cyanogenmod download.
You're in luck I just tried to use CM12 gapps on 4.0.4 and it's very stable. Not sure on Fire OS though, but the latest FireOS on this device is based on 4.0.4 as well.
BTW please do report here if you do intend to try that out.
I want to know how it goes. I might want to stick with FireOS combined with Gapps.
[Edit] minor correction, CM11 on Kindle 8.9 is Jellybean 4.4, not ICS. Sorry.
Hi,
I have a Hyundai i35 2016 model. it came with a multimedia system that runs Android . however it does not have Google Play store installed.
recently i attended Hyundai and the mechanic upgraded the multimedia operating system (to 4.4.2), and i was able to convince him to give me the update file
That file opens up very simply using 7zip and i was able to add any application apk that i want, and just use that edited file and upgrade the multimedia with it. so i can have any application that i want now.
unfortunately, i was not able to add Google Play store successfully. (it crushes when i try to lunch it).
After reading many threads, i understand that i probably need in addition to the google Play Store to install the following: (please correct me if i'm wrong)
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Service
I did try to install those in addition to the Play store, but still it will crush (together with the play services..)
I am guessing that i need to use specific versions of all 4, but i do not know how to pick the correct ones. (maybe i'm missing something else..)
If there is anyone out there that knows what i'm missing and can help it will be awesome
anyone?
