[SOLUTION:] Can't Establish a reliable connection to the server/Playstore No Connect - Android General

CREDITS GOES TO: to crazzzzy (and many other users) (pandawill) for posting this solution.
WARNING: YOU MAY LOSE ALL YOUR DATA BY DOING THIS.
Issues:
- Account sync OFF permanently with the message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems".
- Signing in Google Apps fails showing message: "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server"
Possible Cause:
- system file named 'hosts' (/etc/hosts) points to a Google server that changed IP, thus blocking access to Apps.
Possible Solution:
edit 'hosts' file (/etc/hosts) deleting or commenting (adding a # at the beginning) the old line
Please do it at your own risk.
How to do it:
METHOD 1
1.- ROOT your device (of course)
2.- Editing the file
You will need a proper editor
Download and Install Total Commander and open it
OR DOWNLOAD BELOW
3.- Browse with Total Commander to root/etc
(hint: on the right side of the screen there's a shortcut to system folder.. look for etc/ and you will find it)
Tap mount R/W
Long tap on "hosts" > edit file > Totalcmd-Editor
Open etc/hosts and edit the file. Just put # before 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com.
4.- SAVED
Edited file should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
remember: based on my own observation it should be look like this:
127.0.0.1(just one space)localhost
#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com
5.- Turn OFF your device.
6.(Not Necessary, Go to Next Step. But if the problem persist do Factory Reset..) Got it on Recovery Mode, Factory Data Reset, wipe data.
7. Reboot your device.
8. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.
9.- Sync to your account and contacts
METHOD 2:
1. Make sure you have a ROOT ACCESS on your Device.
2. Install Root Explorer, Run App, Grant SU Access.
3. Browse root / etc... at the top of your screen you will see mount R/O and mount R/W...
4.Tap mount R/W
5.Look for host file, long press it and open with text editor.
6. just Add # (pound sign) on the first number.
like this:
#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com
SAVE IT and Reboot.
Now you can connect to Google Play very well.
UPDATE: 08/22/13
If above method fail to connect you properly or have some issue on wireless connection, revert the host file to its original state
and install this app on playstore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.treb.hosts&hl=en
run app and choose your prefer edit.
Another Way Playstore not working after Installing/Uninstalling Freedom App?
- Go to Root Explorer and Mount R/W then delete Hosts file under system/etc/
- Reboot
- Shutdown & Boot to Recovery
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
- Reboot
- Presto! back to normal.
Edit:
Removed Attached Files you may download it on Google Playstore.
Total Commander: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander
Root Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Note: You may use your favorite File Manager as long as it can browse up to the root of your Phone..

I read your solution but when i saw my host file there was a different ip address
127.201.26.224 android.clients.google.com
mtalk.google.com
i comment both of them and did what you said but it didn't work the first time
2nd time i did that and it worked
Thanks

THAKS A LOT DUDE !!!!!!! I't works :good:

Same Error
Even i have 127.122.124.92 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com ip, so did u change this ip to 74. or did u add the new ip below the local host portion???
---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:43 PM ----------
Ok Thanks a lot it really worked now, now this might help for some one if u have the same error as i got. No 74.125.93.113 ip present below local host (127.122.124.92 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com ip present ). so just copy this (#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com) below 127.0.0.1 localhost , and that worked for me....

Thank You!
Thank you for the info, it worked on my Chines tablet as it stopped working all of a sudden.
I had a feeling that it was something like this, just had no clue how to go about it... and why the hell are they using hard-coded IP addresses anyway???
BTW, just fixing the HOST file and rebooting fixed it for me.

THANKS! Browsed all over the net to find a solution to this issue!
Tried many things and was about to decide to sell my GNex and upgrade to nexus 4!
Thanks to this thread and you all I am a happy GNex user again.
Still wonder what happened that changed this file or fckd my system...

Uhhh, didn't work so well. I have access to my google account again (play, gmail, youtube...)
but when I try to update an app or download a new one, I get an error: RPC:S-5:AEC-0
Can anyone help ?
thanks

For some reason after like two days my next 3 asked me to update automatically.ALl you have to do is connect a usb cord to the pc and then turn off usb and it will update on its own and go into recovery.
So great ..thank u
Greetings all!
I have made several attempts at installing Market on my Next3 tablet with varying failures. Here is what I've done (with some details for those who haven't gotten this far):
1. Downloaded update.img from the provided link onto my Windows 7 64 bit PC.(I assume update.img to be a compressed opsys file which the Nextbook's Linux opsys recognizes (by its name/extension) and automatically launches it.)
2. With the Next3 running, I connect the USB cord to my computer.
3. I copy the update.img to the root of my 4gig sdhc card. (root being NOT in a folder or directory but at the top of the dir tree i.e. ROOT)
4. from my PC, I click on Safely Remove Hardware icon (found in the system tray) and disconnect the Next3 Tablet.
5. As soon as the PC disconnects the Next3 Tablet, a bar pops up on the Next3 screen asking if I wish to install the newly found update.img. (I disconnect the USB cord prior to answering)
6. I tell Next3 to install.
7. The screen displays update.img's installation progress and then reboots.
8. After Next3 arrives at the HOME page, I access SETTINGS-> WIRELESS & NETWORKS and enable an internet connection
9. Then I access APPS (middle icon at the bottom of the screen) and tap MARKET.
10. I am then asked for a google login. I provide a GMAIL e-mail address
11. I am prompted to accept a license agreement (don't recall which came first #10 or 11)
12. After a few moments, there is the huge list of apps!!!
13. Have done this 3 times now. I have never been able to actually download an app. It always fails.
14. On the first occasion, I checked to clear the cache as mentioned in item #5 of the instructions on this page: Market Fix if not working
15. I found every time that I followed this step, the only item cache that was not grayed out was Market.
16. QUESTION! Exactly what means "Reboot Device"? (Item #6 of the instructions). Does it mean powering down (shutting off) the Next3 and then turning it back on or is it referring to the RESET button on the back of the Next3?
17. I powered it off and then turned it back on; still no luck downloading. Each and every time, it failed.
18. I then redid steps 2 thru 10. This time, the same google e-mail login (I believe) would not allow me to connect to the Market network.
19. I then redid steps 2 thru 10 AGAIN. This time, using a different Google gmail account. I was successful connecting to the Market Network.
20. and again, see #13
21. and again, see #15 - 17
So there you have it. Truly wish to get this installed. I welcome any suggestions!
Thank you!
can you post the link other than megaupload since they are shutdown now
Any one has that rooting file for nextbook3 please?
I heard about the ing file that worked for many people but I could not find it because Megaupload is shutdown. can someone give a substitute link or post the file here please.
Thanks in advance
Current update.img file location
Hello All,
I am new to the forum. I recently acquired the Next3 and wanted to install the the market. Was excited someone had worked on the image.
Can someone forward the file to me? The download location provided is no longer valid.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Luis

I too am looking for the download link (that works - - poor Megaupload) to mod a friend's Next3.
If I can't get root and the market on this thing for him, I will have to try to figure out how to tell him he bought a crap tablet.
Thank you for any help you can provide!!

[HOWTO] Bluestacks for MAC OS X rooted [2012-10-09]

Hi all, who are interested in using Bluestacks (Bluestacks Mac alpha) rooted and writeable /system & /data!
If you havn't installed or used it before, the android app player Bluestacks alpha for MAc OS X is available here:
http://bluestacks.com/bstks_mac.html
The idea for rooting it came, when I read the thread of xRepinsSporx here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571308. This is guiding tread for rooting Bluestacks for Windows.
So credits go to xRepinsSporx!
I've managed making full rooted Root.fs for the Bluestacks android app-player for MAC OS X.
The /system of bluestacks is rooted out of the box, but root-permissions are restricted.
So I've copied a new su file ('su.orig') and a symbolic link ('su') into /system/xbin. This was done under ubuntu-linux!
That works for me...
If you want try it, here is a
HOW TO:
(make sure, Bluestacks is not running!!!)
---Attention! this HOWTO is only useable on MAC OS X!---
I.
1. Download Root.fs_hacked.zip (rooted Root.fs)
II.
1. Unpack Root.fs_hacked.zip in a folder of your choice
2. In Finder-Menu go to "Go To'-cklick it once ; hold alt-key down for showing the user-library-folder;
Open Library-Folder; Go into the Folder Bluestacks App Player; Go into the Folder Android;
Rename the file Root.fs to Root.fs_backup (in case for having a backup!)
copy the unpacked Root.fs_hacked to here and rename it to Root.fs .
---- You have full rooted /system now! ----
3. Goto into Folder yourusername/Library/BlueStacks App Player/Runtime; make Alias For Bluestacks App Player.app;
Place this link where you want to (i.e. on Desktop or into the Launchbar);
Now you should activate personalized Home Launcher! (If you did not done it before)
I made it with Holo Launcher...
III.
1. Open Pulse in Bluestacks
2. Click an entry in Pulse; Click on Menu-Button, that goes to an WEBsite of an article; the hidden webBrowser of bluestack will open that;
in addressbar goto HoloLauncher (stable) download page http://hololauncher.com/download.aspx?t=STABLE and download and install it
3. Click on the colored Home-Button of Bluestacks and select Holo Launcher for ever.
Now you can install basic gapps for Bluestacks
IV.
1. open the web Browser
2. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/GoogleServicesFramework.apk; install it
3. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/OneTimeInitializer.apk; install it
4. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/SetupWizard.apk; install it
5. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Talk.apk; install it
6. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Vending.apk; install it
7. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Gmail.apk; install it
6. download http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12364391/BluestackForMacApps/Maps.apk; install it
At last goto Settings->Accounts-> add your Google-Account
You did it! - Congrats
What is working:
- root is granted for apps an the fly (without the use of Superuser.apk - this APk isn't working but not needed!)
(test it with titanium backup and/or root explorer)
- fully read/writeable /system, /data, /data/data
(you can test it by starting a terminal session in bluestack; after starting terminal you are at the $-prompt right(?), enter $ su - and you are the #-prompt - so you are rooted)
If Titanium Backup or other apps don't see your installed apps, then you have to change permissions for /data as following:
open terminal session
and enter
Code:
su
chmod 755 /data
(thanx Jainyankee1993 for his reply!)
- Homelauncher of your choice
- Market
- Synching Gmail
- installing most of apps you can see in your market account
(working apps i.e. here: Root Explorer; Titanium Backup; Adaway; Clocksynch...)
What is not working:
Contacts and Calendar won't synch! (So i use the Google website for my calendar and contacts for the moment )
The colored home button loses his function. (For getting home button function you can load 'button svoir' from market)
The stuff published here is for educational purposes only!
All you do with your Bluestacks installation on your MAC is done at your own risk!
BTW: if your full rooted Bluestacks is running as it should, you can delete the preinstall Bluetstacks-Apps-Folder link from the Launchbar...
(atached 2 screenshots here.)

Wrote this post before you posted the bigger screenshot (sorry).
the permissions for /data are looking good.
So make a
'ls -l /data/data' and ls '-l /data/app' the must have the sam permission values like your /data - line
my old eyes can't read your output.
Can you please write the single line from output for the /data folder?
Have tested the chmod command once more.
You can enter the command
Code:
chmod 755 /data
... and TB should show all your apps, i think!

is chmod supposed to give me an output, because it isn't...

No, chmod returns without any output after setting permissions...
I'm pleased that it works for you.
(Will update the HowTo with the 'chmod' command for /data...)
You are right with the camera. The mic would also a nice gadget in using bluestacks...
But i don't think that bluestacks.com will build their emulator (Bluestacks App player) in this stage ...
So, who will try hacking the app player for using cam and mic?:laugh:
regards
bitstra
First of all, thank you very much and you're a genius.
Second, I can't seem to log in with my Google account, I fill in all data and then after it loading for 1-2 min I get a message saying "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
I've installed all the supplied apk (in the order they were mentioned) but nothing. Am I just a total n00b and forgot something or does this root not support the Market/Play store yet? I say Market because that's what the icon says on my Bluestacks, but that shouldn't be the problem because they're two different "apps" if I'm right.
Root.fs in use
Every time I tried to replace the root.fs file with the hacked root.fs, it says that it can't be completed because root.fs is in use. Please help!
When I do this and open up stacks it just crashes.
You can get contacts/calendar to sync by adding a corporate account under the contacts app. Then use use your gmail credentials and m.google.com as server.
There is no root.fs in /Users/<username>/Library/BlueStacks App Player/Android
There is root.sparsefs instead. is there any way to hack this?
Thanks for all
Best regards.
Need new root for Beta version
The Beta uses a different image format, "Root.sparsefs" containing two files "Map" and "Data", so it needs a new root.

[Tutorial] Proscan PLT-7035-PL Root and install GAPPS

Rooting and installing Google Play on the Proscan PLT7035-PL ** UPDATED **
*** Disclaimer ***
I am not responsible for bricked tablets, voided warranties, crashed computers and/or global thermonuclear war! This is what worked for me if you are unsure of anything in the following steps STOP NOW! There is no factory rom released for this tablet. If you brick it your possibly stuck until if and when they release an update!
These instructions assume you are competent to do the folling: get files on and off of your device using the mass storage driver, able to edit and understand changes to inf files, use command prompt, edit system user files and have enough patence to read all of the steps without skipping any. There are a few gotcha's that if are skipped will leave you pulling your hair out. Also these instructions are written for Windows. If your using Linux you shouldn't need my help anyways ..​

This tutorial may also work on other Chinese generic tablets. You would only need get the hardware vendor and product ID's from the device info for step 2. For the purpose of this post I wont be getting into that but the information is out there.. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND
Introduction
Its likely if you are reading you have recently visited Big Lots and scored a $69 7" tablet. Only to get home and find virtually NO information on rooting it or installing Google Play or GAPPs. I know I was in that boat but after a few hours of messing around I got it. I am writing this to hopefully help the hundreds of others I see out there asking for help on this.
Step 1 Download Stuff (Things to round up before you even think about starting)
Root with Restore by Bin4ry v15 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 .** UPDATE ** I attached the version I used to this post
ADB Drivers - You have several options here, milage may very.** UPDATE ** I attached USB drivers to this post. I had to seperate the 64 and 32 bit drivers to get the files under the 8 mb limit for uploads
install android SDK http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r21-windows.zip and follow instructions to get the google usb drivers. Search XDA there are several guides, I couldn't find the one I used as of writing this article but there are many out there.
Search google and find a zip with just the ADB drivers.
Download Super One Click Root and use the drivers in the tools directory of the zip. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
Root Explorer - quick way to move and remount file systems rw with ease. I used v2.13.1. Google around and find an APK to install, just be careful there is another completely differnent package out there called "rooted explorer" it may work but I have not tried it. ** UPDATE ** I attached the version I used to this post
Google Apps for ICS - gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip is what I used from http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip ** Update ** I replaced the URL with a direct download link from goo.im enjoy!
**NOTE** SUPER ONE CLICK ROOT WILL NOT ROOT YOUR TABLET SO DON'T BOTHER TRYING!
Step 2 install and configure your ADB USB Drivers (Let the fun begin)
Extract your zip file containing the ADB USB drivers or Install the Android SDK and follow instructions on how to use the SDK manager to download the lastest drivers from google.
Once downloaded edit the inf file (usually named android_winusb.inf)
Add the following under the [Google.NTx86] heading and again under the [Google.NTamd64] heading: (one is for 32bit systems and the other is for 64 bit Systems)
Code:
;ProScan plt-7035
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2207&PID_0010&REV_0222&MI_01
After saving and exiting. Turn on USB Debugging on your tablet. It is under Settings => Developer Options and is the first option at the top make sure it has a check in the checkbox. Exit the developer screen by pressing back or the home key and plug in your tablet to a usb port on your computer using a micro-USB cable.
Device detection should at this point detect a few devices but at least 1 will fail without drivers. Possibly more on XP systems..
Under Device Manager => Other Devices you should have a device called "PLT7035-PL" use the usb drivers modifed above to install the ADB USB Drivers.
*** Important Note ***
At this point even with the ADB Driver installed ADB will not see the tablet. We have to create or edit the file c:\users\whatever your username is\.android\adb_usb.ini
If you have already run ADB at any time on your system the file and directory should already exist. If not you will need to create the directory and the file.
on a single line simply add this to a blank line in the file and save and exit:
0x2207
This tells ADB to look for that vendor code. (if you allready have ADB on your computer 'adb devices' should now show your tablet.
** UPDATE ** This is still necessary even if using the drivers attached to this post!​

Step 3 Root your Tablet!
*** Warning ***
I almost bricked my tablet on this step due to an error with a faulty PlayStore I had tried to install just using the APK. It kept the tablet from rebooting properly during the root process! I recommend erasing all user data before continuing YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Extract Root with Restore by Bin4ry v15 to the directory of your choosing.
From explorer on your pc double click the RunMe.bat and select option one.
This particular root uses the system restore function to gain root access. If everything goes right you should get a prompt on the table to restore an image.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Press restore ON THE TABLET without entering a password or changing anything else and after a minute or two (maybe more) it should reboot.. Do some more stuff then reboot one more time and you should now have a rooted tablet.
Step 4 Copy root explorer and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip to the internal storage of the tablet.
Make sure the tablet is plugged into your computer and turn On USB Storage.
Copy rootexplorer.apk and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip to the Downloads folder via windows explorer and the removeable drive from the tablet.
Step 5 Install root explorer
ON THE TABLET: to applications => explorer => Internal memory => Download => rootexplorer.apk
This should bring up the apk installer and ask for permission to install rootexplorer. Follow the prompts until rootexplorer is installed.
Open root explorer. The first time you open it if everything is right you should get a prompt from SU to allow root access, hit grant. After that you might get a message that you need to close and reopen root explorer again, this is completely normal.
Step 6 Remount File Systems r/w
Once root explorer is open and has root access you should be in the root directory of the device.At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/o" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/w".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount / as rw.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/w" and the button should change to "mount as r/o"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Scroll to the system folder and open it.
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/o" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/w".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount /system as rw.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/w" and the button should change to "mount as r/o"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now click on the ../ Parent Folder icon on the top to go back to the root directory,
Step 7 Extract GAPPS
Scroll to and tap sdcard
Scroll to and tap Download
You should see the google apps file we copied earlier.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
tap and hold on gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip until the menu comes up and select "extract all" this will extract the zip file to /sdcard/extracted/gapps-ics-20120429-signed/
Step 8 Copy Google APPS to /system
Scroll to and TAP .. Parent folder at the top to go back a directory to /sdcard/
Scroll to and TAP extracted
Scroll to and TAP gapps-ics-20120429-signed
You should see 5 items, install-optional.sh, META-INF, optional, system and the ../ Parent Folder link.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
*** WARNING *** Do not click on the install-optional.sh bad things might happen!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TAP and hold on the system folder until the menu comes up and select copy.
This will place a paste button on the bottom of the screen be careful not to hit it yet or you will have problems.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TAP ../ Parent Folder until the directory at the top says / (you should have to go back 2 or 3 folders)
You should now see a bunch of folders in the root directory as well as the tablets system folder. There should NOT be a ".. Parent folder" visible.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now hit the paste button on the bottom left. You should get a warning massage saying "system already exist. Do you want to overwrite it?" hit yes
The file copy takes 1 to 2 minutes when it is done all that is left is to remount the / and /system folders r/o and reboot the tablet
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Step 9 Remount file systems r/o
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/w" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/o".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount / as ro.
The message at the top should change to "mounted as r/o" and the button should change to "mount as r/w"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Scroll to and TAP system
At the top you should see a message that says "Mounted as r/w" and a button to the right of it that says "mount as r/o".
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Click the button to mount /system as ro.
click the back icon on the bottom left until you have exited root explorer.
Press the power button on the top of the tablet and turn it off and back on.
If everything went right you should now have a fully functioning rooted tablet with Google Playstore...

WASN'T THAT FUN!!?!?!
Ive tried this several times. It hasn't worked yet. Maybe I am doing it wrong, not sure. Ill keep trying but I am losing hope.
I am trying with a Proscan PLT7035-PL
worked ... Many thanks to amjtech ...
Here's how to do it:
Install Android SDK, then install Android SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-Tools, Google USB Driver (download from google)
Install PdaNet for Android on PC.
Attach Proscan pad, check Settings->Developer options->USB debugging to on
XP install adb driver - if unsuccessful, need modify registry
regedit under HKLM/SYSTEM Permissions -> Advance, check replace permission entries on all child
(http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/252428-45-installation-failed-access-denied)
Install USBDeview, run to see usb device attached, get device ID of PROSCAN pad (0x2207)
Add device ID to file adb_usb.ini in c:\docume~1\<user>\.android, also add google's id:
0x2207
0x18d1
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1479311)
(http://androidforums.com/kindle-fir...k-how-get-adb-running-root-superoneclick.html)
Now device will show running
Install ICS Root Unlocker 1.0, run ... got rooted.
Download Root Explorer (2.21.1).apk, Google Play Store (3.8.16).apk, and gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip from 4shared

Unfortunately as stated above there is no factory rom available for these tablets yet... I am looking into using rkflash or rkflashtool to download my rom prerooted so I have a backup and also can post a rooted rom for everyone. Most likely later this week I should have some time to figure out the rkflashtool and get it dumped.
I will post it here once it is done.
I'm going to say this now. I have a very busy schedule so I cannot guarantee when I will get this accomplished.
Also if this works for you please hit the thanks button.

Confused as heck !!
OK, I am confused as heck here. I have the SDK installed. I have the USB Drivers installed. The PC sees the phone just fine, I can browse the internal storage and the external sd card with no problem. Windows XP Device Manager shows Android Phone, and under that the Android Composite ADB Interface.
PDANet works with the phone, no problem. However, adb devices never shows the device, and the Root program cannot find it either. At this point, I'm stumped. Any ideas what I need to do? I have put the android_usb.ini file in c:\Documents and Settings\myusername\Android with the necessary hex codes for the device and for Google. I'm going nuts here!
I know ADB is installed properly, because I can plug my phone into the PC and run adb devices, and it's detected just fine. It's just this tablet it can't find.
FIX: Not as obvious as it might have been, but here is the solution to my problem. I used the Search function to find the adb_usb.inf file - umm... it's in .android, not android. Once I added those ids, everything was fine.
No Market?
Achieved root, copied over the system folder from the zip, but no market. Did I miss something?
What about Recovery?
Just wondering if there is a recovery option as yet? That would be so helpful!

Yeah, this happened to me too. And for some reason, when you go to the \system folder and look in apps there is another apps folder in there. I think there is something really odd going on with root manager possibly. I don't know what the deal is, but none of the Google Apps are running.
I've tried several older 4.0.x versions of GAPPS, and I will be danged if I can get any of them to work. I'm rooted OK, but that's all that worked thus far.
Good instructions! But failure... and then success
The instructions were great above! The pointer to the version of google play was bad, but I found this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1934441 and after using Root explorer to do the appropriate permissions at / and /system, and on the renamed file, it works!
---------- Post added at 06:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:06 AM ----------
Now that I got Google Play to work...
I am having an odd problem however - the installation of apps stalls at 0% for about 30 seconds, and then continues. And as the percentage is updated, I see app screens cycling. And little google play shopping bags start to stack up in my "task tray" area of the tablet.
Does anybody else have that problem? It's very annoying! It seems like the downloaded apps not only install but open, eating up precious memory.
Speaking of which, how is the flash memory used? (4 GB), and not having apps take up the 500 MB that's available?

It is 4GB shared. I haven't tried looking at the partition table.
There is only 2GB usable, it's on the TF card, I moved the apps there.
Not sure how to access the SD card to put apps there.

My GAPPS are working fine. I thought about killing that /system/system folder and manually placing the files via adb.
Try checking the permissions too, I think they need to be 644 or better.
I've put the Tablet away for now, I will tinker again later probably.

How do you move your apps there? I'm aware of the app called something like app2SD, but the TF card isn't an SD card.

You have to extract the zip file, remount the file systems as rw and copy the /system folder from the zip into the / of the device so that all the files goto their proper places... if you have /system/system it was not copied correctly...
as far as those not getting ADB to reconize the tablet.. a) make sure you have usb debugging turned on and b) you put the hardware id in the adb_usb.ini file.. See the ** important note ** in Step 2!
Unzipping Files
I have read and followed your directions to download the files, but, my unit keeps saying it can not open any zip files.
Do you have any idea why it may say this or how to get around this problem so I can continue as instructed?
unzip on your computer and transfer over, or use root explorer

You can unzip them on your computer and then transfer them over, or use root explorer on your tablet. You'll have to hold your finger on the .zip file for a few seconds and then the unzip option pops up.
Well, everyone be careful! When my Google Play would not install properly, I tried to clean the tablet up, ie, put it back to its original condition. Somehow, I managed to cause something to crash, and from then on, the tablet won't boot past the Android startup screen, although I can adb into it and it is still rooted, etc. What I've got now is a project tablet - HOW TO UNBRICK THE BRICK.

I noticed before I hit yes it said do you want to merge and copy the files over not do you want to overwrite it but I still hit yes bad idea. can anybody tell me why I said merge and copy. well this is the second one I have bricks follow the steps perfect got all the way to the end and this is what happens so I took the first 1 back guess I'm going to take a second back also and try again until i figure out what I'm doing wrong.has anybody maked a rkimage or a .zip. update that will work to re cover this thing. I would be willing to try it out for you because I can.

try doing an ADB shell
then the following commands
su
wipe data
this will reset the user partition. I had something similar happen on mine.. BTW 'wipe all' will definitly brick your tablet so be carefull
If you still cannot get it I was almost in a car accident yesterday and my tablet went flying and broke the screen... If you confident with a soldering iron I now have a plt-7035 mainboard prerooted and playstore installed for sale for $25 including shipping.. it would involve soldering 6 wire and the wifi antenna if your up to it pm me,, I know its good as I was able to ADB into it and run su and wipe data to reset it..

Here's what you need to do.
Assuming that you have already rooted your device, use any file explorer app and go to 'etc' folder of your device. (I used Root Explorer and did this on my Samsung Galaxy Tab N8000).
In 'etc' folder, locate the file called hosts.
Touch/press and hold the icon of the file to get its context menu and open the file in text editor.
In the file, there will be one IP address to the localhost, i.e. 127.0.0.1. Leave this as it is.
There will be a second IP address which may vary depending upon your region or country. Put a # in front of it. (eg. #245.45.14.14). This will mark this entry as a comment and the device won't read it.
(I would suggest that you backup 'hosts' file before making any changes. In my case, a 'hosts.bak' file was automatically created when I saved the file after editing.)
Save the file and reboot your device.
This should resolve the issue.

That's really strange. You should be able to edit the file as rooting process needs a reboot too. Well you can still try a workaround.
* Copy all the contents from the existing host file.
* Create a new file either on your smartphone or use a computer to do so. Make sure the name of the file is 'host' (without quotes) and file does not have any extension like .txt or .doc. If the file has any extension, remove it while rename the file.
* Now paste all the copied contents from the existing file to the new one and then make the changes as I mentioned in my answer.
* Save the file and replace it with the existing one.
Let me know if this helps.

Caterpillar S60 FRP Unlock / Bypass / Removal?

Hello All, Before you ask no the phone is not stolen. I'm a idiot but not a thief. So I wanted this phone for a while and I saw it at a pawn shop while in Oregon on vacation. So I purchased it sorta cheap with the original box cables books the works in mint condition. The phone did not come with the prior users information so I did a Hard Reset from the Boot menu and now it ask for the prior persons info which I obviously don't have. Called Bullitt who informed me that they can't fix it that it is an android issue and to contact google. Which I can't seem to find information for. So tried a few of the unlock methods for other phones on youtube to no avail. Can't return the phone so unless I somehow fix it I'm out $350 bucks. =/ Any help would be appreciated.
Phone Details:

Sorry to hear. Not too long ago in the past, you could hit google and bypass FRP in minutes on the first attempt. Now, FRP bypass how-to's have become a great ad pusher, and 95% of the info has been patched.
Save yourself multiple headaches, and put your research into learning how to flash a new rom. That info will be much more reliable, you'll get a much better Android version, and frp will be gone.

Thanks for the reply, I actually did try to see if I could just unlock the boot loader and flash a new Nougat Rom to it since it's almost a vanilla version of Android OS but couldn't really find anything along the lines of posts that might break down how to go about unlocking the boot loader. =/
There was a guy here who showed how to overwrite GAM as a user app using DirtyCow. I can confirm it is possible to get a root shell with DirtyCow and replace files in memory on the S60. His FRP bypass looked like it would work for you. Look on youtube, it's about a 15 minute long video.
The version of DirtyCow that worked on my S60, partially, was found here in D1kiy's "Universal Debloater" package. I don't have a Windows machine so I just used those files manually through ADB to replace run-as. There's nothing made specifically for this phone, so you'll have to use your brain and cobble these methods together. Basically, where he goes into the shell and uses the cat command, I would try to create that file and use the "dirtycow64 <file> <location>". You could TRY to install D1kiy's run-as and use "run-as exec cat <file> >> <location>", but I don't know if that will work or not. It didn't work to disable packages on my phone, and it's more steps.
What I'm trying to do is replace my hosts file with a larger one, which of course can't be done directly with DirtyCow. If you get any farther towards real root than removing FRP, please let me know. Good luck!

Hey Thanks for that info. been trying to get this method to work for the past 4 hours to no avail, but I do see progress. I think I just need to find all the correct files to overwrite. I'll do a write up as soon as I figure out the FRP Removal process.

I posted a wetransfer link for the files should be good for a month if you need them or if the link is taken down PM me. Most of the ideas for this FRP Bypass came from Ghostlyhaks.com I just complied what worked and what didn’t to get FRP Removed. Thanks to @aff3p for giving me a push in the right direction. Also thanks to XDAdevelopers whom I have constantly learned a few tricks from.
Once it is FRP unlocked it will download updates so if you don't want them make sure to block them upon factory reset.

help with FRP removal
Hello Sirs,
I have just bought a CAT S60 from my carrier as a used handset, and I've ran into this FRP problem too. I could take it back, since I have a 2 weeks guarantee for this, and they would pay me back its price, but since it was a good price, I'd rather keep it.
I've tried the solution above, I've managed to get to the google app, and searched for ES file manager, but when I click on the app, the phone tries to open google play which directs me back to the point where I should enter the previous user's data.
As far as I can tell, my ROM version is after 01. June, 2017. Or at least, I've entered android recovery, and the latest recovery log sais: ro.bootimage.build.date= Thu Jun 1 12:12:51 CST 2017.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
P
Solved
