Just got a droid x2
Not activated wih any service yet
It is booted up bypassing activation
Wifi only
How in the hell do i get the play store?
Does any of the roms come with the play store?
Solution
So i found the solution.
Market wasnt updatinto playstore, it kept bullshitting me with errors and couldnt connect, kept saying retry and forwarding me to an agreement that meant nothing.
What i did was
1. google on my droid "play store apk 2013"
2. Found a link that was posted in 2013 because thats the time i figured the playstore apk worked for this ohone
3. Downloaded playstore version 5 point whatever
4. Didnt get any paraing errors and it installed perfectly and allowed me to install the apps i wanted
5. Downloaded google play services

Hi all
Before that, I was on CM 10.2 and GAPPS that comes with it, I was able to use the market even though I uninstalled the Google services apk, everything worked just fine.
Maps sometimes said somethin' like "best experience with google services", but it actually did work smoothy...
Now I installed CM11 with new GAPPS, and when I disable Google services, then Play store tells me that it can't run without it, and just closes without letting me download any app.
Is there any way do bypass this check ?
I fight any app running as a service when it's not needed (battery life, data consumsion, privacy), that's why I don't want to have the Google services on my phone.
Thanks for sharing your experience
Tried some search on the forum and on google but no chance, am I the only one to care about that !?
Just trying to get my message up again...
Hey, I think I've discovered a way to do this. it DOES require google play services to be installed, but you can freeze google play services completely once you install it.
Open terminal emulator and enter this command
Code:
pm disable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService
and then I think it should let you use the play store.
to undo this in case anything bad happens, just enter
Code:
pm enable com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.gms.recovery.RecoveryService
Edit: Never mind. This will let you open the Play Store, but you will not be able to download apps.
{note}: this thread made assuming you're android is rooted
Hey. My name is Sadcamp. I'm not really acquainted with how everyone here forums and all, but I'll give this my best shot.
Recently, I was working on fixing my Play Store, because of an app that blocked some of Google Service IP's, disabling my ability to access the store. So, using Root Uninstaller, I removed the Play Store app off of my phone, which as many of you know, removes the Play Store from /system/app. Hoping for it to be fixed, I got an APK of the most recent version and installed it on my phone. To my distaste, nope. I investigated further and journeyed to the mystical file called "hosts". I researched and found that the Google IP's were blocked. So, as recommended, I renamed the hosts file and restarted the device, clearing it all up.
Then, about an hour ago when I went to install an app from the Play Store, it stopped working (at the point where you press Ok/Yes to accept permissions and all). So, I whipped out CatLog, which I recommend if you ever have a problem with your phone, and saw that the phone was giving out messages like "Google Play APK file not found" and stuff of the such. After tracing some of my steps back, I figured this was because, as mentioned in the last paragraph, that I removed the Play Store from /system/app. That being said, I whipped out Lucky Patcher, commanded it to move my Play Store app to /system/app, rebooted my phone, and voila. Just as it had been before all of this crazy stuff had happened.
So, All in all, (TL;DR)
If your Play Store app won't download or update anything, and closes upon opening, consult CatLog, or you could just skip to what I did by using Lucky Patcher and moving the Play Store app to /system/app.
Hope this helped for those who have these kinds of problems. Love your faces!
I'm running official ICS on Xperia U and I'm facing some problems.
I tried to install Sonic Dash in Google Play but it would be stuck on "Transferring..." so since I couldn't stop the proccess I had to uninstall updates of Google Play.
When I launched Google Play again and tried to install it again, it shows error "Error retrieving information from server[DF-SA-01]", or something like that. I googled it and tried all the suggestions; however it just wouldn't work. I tried to remove Google Account and adding it again using both the Google Play method and the settings one but it would say that the account is already on the phone (I EXPLICITLY REMOVED THE ACCOUNT, checked everything and it would ask for Google Account).
What should I do now? This error is extremely annoying and I'm about to throw my phone on the wall. I don't think formatting will work, didn't try that but I don't want to lose my data. What if in the end it glitches again and says "There is already a account with that email [email protected]"?
Thanks. I'm pissed off, sorry.

i just sharing what i've do to solved the problem, a days ago i had same problem like that, and i just looking for google play apk from the internet, download and install on my device, and success fix that error, just share
Ok so I was using lucky patcher yesterday and I did a patch. my google play didn't connect to the internet after that, so I Deleted the play store completely (yes I have a rooted android) then I downloaded a play store apk here at xda I installed it and still it wouldn't connect, after that I did a factory reset thinking it would give me the android default play store but it didn't. My android had no trace of a play store. So I was getting aggravated and ticked off. I then downloaded a new play store here at xda, and then when I open play store it just crashes. I've done a lot to fix it but no luck. I've added a # in the hosts file and it worked for like a couple second and crashed again. I added 2 # and it worked (Example below) until I tried to download an app.
#127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.229.35.136 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
Any solutions

Not all Play Store versions are the same, nor do they work with every version of android. You need the correct one for your phone and software version. Without knowing these, it's kind of hard to suggest anything further. But did you use Lucky Patcher to mod the Play Store or to block ads? That usually causes these issues.

Your best bet would be to find someone else with your phone that is rooted and then they can share their version with you. Doesn't seem to be any custom roms or much for your phone so can't just download the rom and grab the apk from it like most phones. How were you trying to install the other versions you found?
All I did was install it.
Play store works sometimes if I put 2 # in front of the ip's but once I download something it crashes and I'm back to square 1

I think you can use LP to undo that patch as well. But you should still install the Play Store in the system. That's where it belongs and needs special permissions for everything to function properly.
I don't see anything about unpatching the patch

Need to use the "Remove ODEX with changes" option. Should do the trick.

Fix playstore errors
Sorry I didn't respond sooner. Anything that involved Google didn't work so I had to find a workaround. I couldn't Use apps or crome to reply.
I will try your answers and thanks for replying.
@Paget96
I have tried those options and they didn't work.
However I did notice another thing missing... Google services framework.....
I need it for my device, I may make another thread about that.
Hello, i just cant install the Amazon Shopping App, i cant from Play Store, I cant from APK, I cant from Xiaomi App Store, it gives me an error from 3 ways...
I think it has to do with a week ago I saw two Amazon apps installed, I guess it was a fake one, and I uninstalled them both.
After that I simply can not install the official application in any way.
I already used several antivirus, I cleaned the cache of Play Store and Google Play services, I cleaned the phone, I looked in the file manager the word "Amazon" and nothing comes out.
Another curious thing is that I can install the application in the second space, but in the first space I can not.
Any Ideas??
Thanks...
Same issue. Strange.
