[Q] ZTE V955 phone rooting and Google Play store - General Questions and Answers

I have a Chinese ZTE V955 phone.
This model appears in the list of the Google approved phones and seems to work extremely well.
The Android version is 4.0.4. Kernel version 3.0.21 –perf.
For some reason there are no Google apps on this telephone, which is extremely frustrating.
Also there is no way to add a Google user to “Accounts and sync”.
I understood there is a way of adding the Google Play store after rooting the phone.
After a lot of searching and trying, I have been able to root this telephone in an instant with ICS Root Unlocker 1.0.
I have Superuser and Total Commander can write to protected files.
I found a GoogleLoginService apk and a GoogleServicesFramework apk, which I installed.
After that I was able to add a Google account in accounts and Sync.
I was also able to install Google Talk and I can log in.
Then I installed several versions of the Google Play apk.
The application starts, loads some 48k data and the stops with the message “Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped”. Behind that message there is another message that probably asks for the user to accept or decline the Google conditions, but I cannot click because of the first message on top.
Some sites suggest to copy the vendor.apk to the system/app directory and install it after changing that file’s permissions. I did not try that because I’m a little scared of upsetting this directory.
Can anyone help me further ?
Can I flash the Gapps package without flashing a new Rom I don't seem to find one for this phone) ?
Do I need to edit the etc/hosts file ?
Thanks a lot.

I have buyd the same phone, I have tried to instal several Google Play APKs and no one have worked.
When I tried to install a new Recovery, the phone stops and no more starts.
He start but only in DFU mode. I need a way to reflash the firmware, but I found nothin!
Another way that he starts is pressing Vol UP+DOWN+POWER. Windows asks for driver: 19d2:0249 (idVendor = 19d2, idProduct = 0249) but no were I have found this.
Can anyone help?

Same problem I have too
I just downloaded it from the play store and upon opening it asks for root permissions and gives that same warning. Can't play it either
---------- Post added at 03:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:55 AM ----------
It works when I turn off my WiFi but its very strange that it asks for root permission..
The game is not okay with rooted devices. Install Rootclock and add Zenonia to the list and BOOM! Insta fix!

Windows RT recovery download

Saw a few people requesting a copy of the recovery files so here they are, if someone can upload these to a better host I'm sure it would be much appreciated.

Good man
Thank you, i apreciate it!
Thank you!
I cant download though as reached limit
can anyone who already download upload it to another locations ?
Thanx
i buyed a premium account just to download this, i will try to upload to somewhere else, maybe a torrent...
Does anyone know if this Surface RT Recovery download will work on an Asus VivoTab RT that I have? I ask because the VivoTab has GPS, NFC and higher spec camera so wonder if the Surface Recovery will overwrite those software features/drivers.

yes i think that this will work, anything new that you have it will detect and install a update in case you need it.

so, i just need to turn it on with the volume down button pressed ? if yes, this is not working for me, got the same surfasse screen as ever....
---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:11 PM ----------
out maybe the problem is that the usb drive is not bootable, if that is the case, maybe we need a usb iso, instead of just the files....
I think you can create a bootable usb via pc settings. then put the recovery files on the same usb. try that.
can you believe I am still downloading part 1 at 77kb per second? only 31% done and 3 parts to go. uploaded.net is not very good
have you managed to upload it anywhere else please arqueiro?
my upload rate is very very low, 100kb so will take a lot to upload it too, pm me and i send you my account name and password, since i buyed a premium accont just for this
Got it in dropbox, split into chunks, I'll upload it to a torrent later as well..

wich version you have?
Which version of what?
Got it sat in dropbox but it wants contact/email addresses for sharing it, I'll see if I can make it a public folder, not sure if thats a "pay" option or not tho, never really used DB for that before..
The Torrent option would require me to upload it to a site of some description which might be a bit dodgy as far as rules etc go this end..
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vilboay7zn5gfjd/8BQtNdXqeN
See if that works, broken into 100mb chunks

saying 3hrs for my dropbox to sync, its ~3.5gb so you might need to give it a while..
what i mean was: did you make a iso file from the usb? or just copy the files ?
thanks
Not got anything to create an ISO with, however if you create a bootable USB and copy the files it should work as expected.

I think you just copy all files to usb and it does it automatically

[Q] Workaround for GTX 670M?

So my Nvidia Shield is in route after a much anticipated wait to finally having some extra funds to purchase one. I recall a while back with the most esteemed certainty when I check on the Nvidia shield tab of my Geforce experience was that the card was compatible with my ASUS G75VW laptop. When I updated my drivers today I looked at the shield tab and it said my PC is not ready for streaming to the shield... Evidently by some genius gesture, nvidia decided to make the card below mine (GTX 660M) and the card above mine (GTX 680M) compatible, yet mine the GTX 670M is not. . . Are there any workarounds to this that I may not be aware of or am I just SOL because of Nvidia's genius?
I was actually sent here from the nvidia forums where an actually moderator mentioned there may be some workaround here. I assume there is a way to bypass it but I am unfamiliar with this so called "rooting" process and if there is a guide some where where I can get this thing working I would really much appreciate it xD.

First install any updates for Apps as well as the Shields Firmware if you have not already.
THEN
Download the App in the above link, make sure you have "Unknown Sources" checked in the "Security" section of the "Settings" App, otherwise it won't install, then just tap it in the notification centre or in a file manager, install, open, click "Make It Ra1n", wait for it to finish, wait an additional 20 seconds, then reboot. You'll have Root Access (but NOT an Unlocked Bootloader or a Custom Recovery, so NOTHING WILL BE DELETED!)
If that does not work try downgrading your graphics cards driver, it might have a bug if it worked before.
DISCLAIMER: IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THIS TO BRICK YOUR DEVICE IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL BUT THAT IS STILL VERY UNLIKELY TO HAPPEN!!!!

Also according to the first post in the topic below, laptop GPU's can't officially stream and nobody can seem to get it to work.

The above says streaming with a mobile GPU works if you have at least GeForce Experience 2.0 installed on your computer. It also says that sometimes streaming does not work and that a reboot of the computer is needed.

Thanks for all the great info, but what exactly does that file do for my shield as far as the purpose of "Rooting" it?

Need stock recovery.img for this phone

I installed twrp on my phone expecting to install a custom rom soon after. Come to find out that all the supposed guides for installing custom roms on this phone are phony. There is no rom for this phone, trust me, I've looked everywhere.
I need to replace the stock recovery so I can get ota updates. Anyone with this phone who can post it, I would highly appreciate it.
Even i am looking for Stock image file, can some one extract it from their devices and post it here. All places where ROM for this phone is found is behind a paywall, and i am also not sure if its genuine

Here is my backup , but when I making backup, I forgot to remove my SIM card when i reset my phone and made bakeup, so there might be some SIM card build-in apps, just delete after restore.
