my friend just buy s3 from online seller in china..
dont know why google play not working..
it is because china retail firmware?
Does it have play installed?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I am in China and am currently having the same problem. Play did not come installed on the phone and after I downloaded and installed it on my I9300 it doesn't load. blacks my screen for a split second then kicks me back to my home screen.
Any ideas?
What if you delete the current PhoneSky.apk from the system/App
and flash the current Gapps, that may fix it.
To properly install Play Store on the phone you need:
- a rooted phone
- a deodexed version of the APK
- NO DO INSTALL THE APK using the usual methods
- rename the APK to Vending.APK
- copy the APK to /system/app/Vending.apk
- reboot

I'm going total neophyte mode here: this is my first Android phone (former iOS dummy) and I have little experience using Android. My phone is rooted with the CF-root from Chainfire. As for deodexed APK, what exactly does that mean? Also, you mentioned that I need to copy it to a filesystem location...how to access that? Again, sorry for sounding like and idiot but this is all so incredibly new to me.
Google Apps
download google apps zipp and zip it to your phone and it should work again
goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
This is exactly why the XDA community is awesome! Thanks to all for the help! Google play as well as a bunch of other apps installed and running perfectly!:good::good:

Only because I feel I have exhausted every option do I ask for someones help,I have done all I can think to do.
My Google Now (version 2.7) all of a sudden started FC.I asked for advice in a thread and I was advised to use System App Remover to remove Google Now and reboot,I did and now I am having issues getting anything but an inverted 2.6 Google Now using Team Blackout Updater to install.I have asked around and was told to look for system/app/velvet.apk and remove it but,even that doesn't work.I feel like there is a folder that has been deleted somehow?When I go through the steps to sign in to Google Now and when I get to "Yes,I am in" part it goes to load my cards and FC.
Please,any help appreciated.
Would I have to Odin back to stock to get my apparently missing Google Now files?
Running Hyperdrive RLS9 currently but,I have tried going to TW Eclipse,GE Eclipse,another GE ROM,BonesStock and nothing works to help me fix my issue.
Thanks.

Not sure I can answer it all... but here is the steps...
1. Using any file explorer remove(delete) Velvet.apk and/or QuickSearchBox.apk If for some reason you have both you will get FC's.
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Wipe Cache and then Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot
5. Flash Inverted or One from Market
6. Test...
7. If still bad, repeat Steps 1-4
8. Using File Explorer go into Data/Data and search for any refreance to quicksearchbox (woudl be a folder) delete.. You might find referances under data/app-asec or data/app-private depending on version of Android running.
9. Repeat steps 1-5
Try flashing someone else's GNow.. I have one here...

Cool... yea use root explorer to delete...
I forgot,this is where I run into another problem that stops me from going forward.
After deleting quicksearchbox.apk,wiping and re-installing using Play store,failing,then going to look for velevet.apk or quicksearchbox.apk again in system/app neither are there! Even though I installed it through Play,there are no references to quicksearchbox or velvet.apk at all anymore in system/app.Only the Google Search widget and I know that isn't it.I did manage to find the folder and deleted it in data/data and that was the only reference found in a search.
Any ideas how to move forward from here?

If you install from Play Store, there will not be a apk named Velvet.apk or QuickSearchBox.apk.. that is a name commonly used by Dev(ROM's/Themers). You apk would be located in data/com.google.android.quicksearchbox-1.apk would be the name... if this is the case.. go to my link and flash mine. It takes care of removeing it and placing Velevet.apk on your system...
try that.
Ugh,lol
This is so stupid!
I went ahead and installed your full inverted zip,tried to get in the app,FC again,managed to find the velvet.apk this time,deleted,searched for and found quucksearchbox folder and deleted again.Rebooted into recovery,wiped,rebooted,rebooted back into recovery flashed your full inverted zip,rebooted,opened the app,clicked Yes,I'm in and FC!

I have no clue how it happened either,I installed a 2.6 apk,got it to load,rebooted my phone for a different reason and the Play store updated Google Now to 2.7,but it's inverted!
How?
Did you ever have a chance to look at that logcat?
I'm still having problems!

Use the instructions from the following guide,

Don't forget to clear out the data and cache of Google apps mentioned in the guide right after you remove your GMail account. If the first method doesn't work, then try the second one. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
This guide did not help ether, I tryed both methods without sucess, still error 491.
Is this maybe a ROM bug, because some user seems to be the same issue as well mentioned in:

The playstore fix is for error 492-498 and not for 491. You can understand the Google errors and its possible solution from the following guide,
[Help Thread] Google play errors Explained (with fixes)
As for the error 491, try repeating the first method but this time make sure to delete the Google Play updates too when you remove your account. As far as I know error 491 is not a rom bug. Most of the people had this problem solved just by removing the Google account, clearing out the cache associated with Google Play & Play services, uninstalling the Play updates, rebooting and finally adding the Google account again followed by installing the updates. Do post the result. Hope I Helped
still no change, did exactly all things mentioned on the website. Besides, there was no option to deinstall the google service update.
The only eplanation I can see it must be a rom bug.
anyone who has the same problem with this mobile and rom version?

For general google errors this is true, but in this case, the error is caused by missing DRM (Digital Rights Management) libraries and binaries.
I have looked through the source code to find the specific files, and compiled them using the BroadcomCM.
Now everything is working fine =)

It is "kind of" a rom bug, the source code of the rom is working fine, but some of the libraries weren't included in the final build.
So I've added it via the gapps package, and now everything is working fine.
You can try my gapps package.
It's working for me. Tested with CM 9.1 Beta 5.
Nightly Coder said:
After several days of investigation I've found the solution.
A specific library and a binary was not included in the ROM (which is apparently needed by Google Play).
I read the log files, searched the missing files and compiled the corresponding source code using the BroadcomCM repository.
I included the missing files in the Google Apps package and added some lines to the updater-script, and voila a working Google Play
Changelog:
Added libdrmframework_jni.so to /system/lib
Added drmserver to /system/bin
Modified updater-script to set the permissions

Yes, it will work. But you should check if you are having the same problem.
Look into your /system/lib/ folder and search for "libdrmframework_jni.so".
Do the same with your /system/bin/ folder and search for "drmserver".
If both files are missing, then this Google App Package will fix your Error.
The libraries and binaries are also working for Totoro.
PS:
Just wait a few minutes, I'm currently writing/posting a new/better version.
Stay tuned
Best regards

I've checked system and found libdrm1-jni.so & libdrmframerwork.so but not "libdrmframework_jni.so" ofc there's not drmserver in system/bin.

If you have already installed a google apps package, which throws a 491 error, you should uninstall it first.
Because my previous google apps package (or the GearCM package) has old certificates, and therefore you cannot update Google Play Services, which is needed by some apps.
First Option
Therefore I recommend, that you uninstall the old version first.
Here is a detailed guide on how to do this [GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services.
Second Option
If you don't have stored data on your phone, you can also flash the rom again to delete your system partition.
Then you can install my new package without uninstalling the previous package.

Flash your rom again. And install my package afterwards.
Second Option
Pull the "packages.xml" file from your device and search the following Strings:
"/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk"
"/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk"
"/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk"
"/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk"
"/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk"
And then delete the complete "<package ... > ... </package>" element, where you found the string.
Afterwards you can install my google apps package.
Hope this helps.

By "yours google apps package" you mean this one: [*] gapps-full-ics-broadcomCM-20120317-signed.zip - 52 MB -
So, I purchased this tablet: Teclast x80h as advertised from manifacturer with dualboot Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4.4.
So far I can say Windows is working fine, haven't found a problem with it.
But When I booted the Android I face a common problem in the Google Play: No connection and the button retry.
I searched google and youtube and tried most of the things people wrote there.
1. checking the auto time/date update
2. the timezone
3. deleting all cache from the app
4. I rooted the device using: Kingroot and iRoot and tried to edit the hosts file. But in it there only was this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost - so I had nothing to change there. Tried to edit it anyway with total comander with granted root priv. - I receive "re-mount error".
5. I also tried to fix the issue with a fix from Frontier given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035/page43 , but sadly it didn't solve the issue for me.

1. checking the auto time/date update
2. the timezone
3. deleting all cache from the app
4. I rooted the device using: Kingroot and iRoot and tried to edit the hosts file. But in it there only was this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost - so I had nothing to change there. Tried to edit it anyway with total comander with granted root priv. - I receive "re-mount error".
5. I also tried to fix the issue with a fix from Frontier given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035/page43 , but sadly it didn't solve the issue for me.
Any other insight you can give me is welcome.
Thanks in advance to whoever comes to help.

I have the same problem and have tried all morning to fix it. I have managed to root and have tried following Frontiers instructions but just get the same problem at the end of it.
I also found it impossible to delete Play Store using settings as it is a system app, but managed it using an app called "system app remover". Then replaced it with the apk from Frontier but still no luck!

Have just found this, Maybe we have to wait for an update. But as they come in Chinese am not sure I will recognise it!!
http://bbs.teclast.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=262279&highlight=x80h+play+store
Applied fix:
with root browser:
Edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Now Google Play is crashing just before displaying the content ofthe store. Even got it working for few minutes after reinstalling Google Play app and Google Play Services, but after tying to download some app from it it started crashing again. I'm open for suggestions :>
I have those settings in as well, but Play store not working at all. I will try deleting them both and reinstalling

okay, guys, that's how I fixed it:
Fix for Google Playstore on Teclast x80h dualboot
requirements:
For Rooting the tablet:
iRoot
Kingroot
First you run Kingroot - all is in chinese, but it's pretty straight forward deal.
Then you run iRoot and finish the job.
Then you need the following apks:
superSU
root manager
uninstaller (root)
link2SD
google play latest
google play services latest
All this is available on APKmirror.
Copy them somewhere on the tablet (I used the Download folder)
step 1. Install superSU - to be able to grant root privileges to the other apps.
step 2. install root manager
step 3. open it and edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Then save the changes.
step 4. uninstall the Google Play app that came preinstalled with the tablet. (You can do it with any root uninstaller.)
step 5. install the Google Play apk
step 6. install the Google Play services apk and reboot
step 7. install Link2SD apk and run it. Find the google play app in the list press it and when it opens choose "action" and then make it a system app.
step 8. Reboot the tablet.
Enter the credentials in for your google account and then download any app you want :>
Hope that will help someone. Took me lots of time to figure it out.
Took info from several sources here on XDA and from youtube.
All credit goes to them.
I had done all of the above yesterday and still it didnt work. But today I got a Google Play Services update via Mobo Market and Play Store worked after that!
Got the same tablet and of course play store didn't work. Expected this would require extensive hacks, but apparently there is an update as soon as you connect to internet. Just click update app on the bottom left and then you'll see two buttons (all on Chinese), click the left one and it will download the update for you.

yea, when I received it, that update was downloading a broken zip file and it was giving error. That's why I had to do all that to fix it. Now I'm happy with the tablet.

I think I might be getting a broken Zip as well. Do you by any chance have the .zip for the update?

It's pretty straightforward, there are several apps that do this. You can search in Baidu.com for Gapps and the apk will show up. Install it, press the big button and there you go. You can also find several tutorials in Youtube, if you don't know how the app looks like.
Alternatively, here's another tutorial with a different app: http://en.miui.com/thread-17910-1-1.html
somehow i'm able to install Gapps using the installer, i don't know what i did to fix it, anyway its all good now, btw the link you gave is for device that is not bootloader locked
The minimum set of Gapps are very easy to install with the help of this tiny online installer. It's in Chinese, but it's intuitive.

This is the tools that i was using when trying to install Gapps, and after countless of failed effort, somehow it works on its own, i don't know what happened
For me NewGoogleInstaller works flawlessly on all firmwares, including the latest 7.2.4.
yeah, but now i'd like to know how can i set google playstore as a default app store instead of Mi app store
Everything is installed following the process but I can't download any apps from the app store..

You must update Google services
And Google Play at the same time.

Reboot your phone.
"At the same time" means can be done, but not necessarily.

Same here first time, but removed Google*, installed them again and it started working. I rebooted after Google login, Xunlei engine was disabled and download limit set to Unlimited.
it seem that after you login to playstore, you need to wait for a while for it to sync in order for you to be able to download apps, otherwise you'll get unable to contact server error message

Gotcha. Rebooting didn't change anything at first but I just kept rebooting (..a lot) and it seems to work now.

I can't find Xunlei engine.. But rebooting (numerous times) seems to work now.. Just hope it stays that way...
Xunlei engine is in Downloads apps settings.

the google installer worked to install the apps but they couldn't establish a connection to the servers. I had to restore my playstore and google apps from a titanium backup file I had and then it would work. So anyone not able to get on google apps try installing old titanium backups, it may work.
One thing to note with all of these is sometimes it just needs time.
After all, the play services and framework often have to register with Google and also update themselves (you're not guaranteed to get the most up to date version for each even with the installer).
I installed mine and they registered fine. But as soon as I tried to download an app from the play store I got weird errors.
Left it a day and boom, worked fine.
