[Q] How to root Huawei G520 - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
I've got a Chinese Huawei G520-0000 in Shenzhen. Since I'm back in Europe I want to run Google Play Store and other Google apps. But so far without success.
Here's great thread about how to root the G520. But unfortunately it's not working for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=43073790
I installed VROOT and according to my Chinese colleagues who translated what they saw on the screen, the software sucessfully rooted the phone. Just to make sure I've ran the software twice.
Now there is a Chinese "superuser" software installed. I could install the Google playstore. Although I can't read Chinese I know how to "allow" apps like Google Play Store in the superuser software. However, it can't connect. I get a time-out. Google Chrome crashes on app start. G+ doesn't work without Google PlayStore. So, currently I'm at a loss. What to do?
I've googled but the above mentioned thread seems to be the most extensive resource for rooting the G520.
Maybe I looked at the wrong places.
Can somebody pls point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
Andy

Google Earth 1.1

Anyone know where to get the APK outside the market? It's not available in the Korean marketplace for whatever reason? Did a Google search, came up with nothing but news and QR codes.
TIA
Also want the apk file as well. Cannot get it from market from Thailand either. Using market enabler faking Market, I can search for Google Earthj but after download, installation fail due to certificate invalid problem
Really want Google Earth 1.1. Please share the link if any friend have one
Cheers
Try AppBrain.
HERE​
I have the same problem. And AppBrain doesn´t work for me because it redirects me to the market. And since this is a dead end...
I´m running Android 2.1 on the Milestone...
The older version of Google Earth (v1.0) is here...
(I couldn´t post the link because I´m new. Google this: "google earth android 2.1"
and then it´s the second link from the top. In the comments you find the link to version v1.0 which works find on my device.)
But I can´t find v1.1 on the web.
So if anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.
appbrain worked for me.
CM 6 RC3 on Nexus One
AppBrain doesn't work for me. It always redirects me to the market where the app is not found.
Any ideas why it worked for you?
I installed Appbrain App Market & Fast web installer on phone.
Registered at http://www.appbrain.com on my PC, logged in, searched Google Earth and installed (through PC) & saw installation was done on my N1. Needless to say N1 was online.
hope this helps.
Hi there.
For anybody needing help on how to install Google Earth with AppBrain, here I wrote an article: it-nthusiast.blogspot.com/2010/08/exclusive-install-google-earth-11-on.html (sorry, but I'm not permitted to post directly links going outside, as I'm a new user).
Hope that helps you.
Thanks lorin_93 ... it does help and works for me.

Good one, thanks, but after download and try to open it displayed installation unsuccessful.
Any thoughts?
I have tried also market enabler switching a wide variety of operators, no luck...
I tried the Appbrain App Market & Fast web installer method. It downloaded the app on my milestone and I clicked on it in the notification bar. That was a mistake because it took me too the market again and no installation was done. Yeah stupid me...
After that I tried it again but it doesn´t work anymore. Every other app I push to the phone installs without a problem. Just the Google Earth App doesn´t "arrive" on my milestone anymore.
Any ideas why?
I tried to erase the cache, reinstalled both the AppBrain app and the Fast web installer. But nothing works...
Thanks for the help so far!
get market access and emulate another sim. you need root to do this i think. then install anything you want. amip.tools-for.net/wiki/android/marketaccess
please guys upload the 1.1 apk file
edit: found it
Hi Aqrab,
can you tell me where you found it, please?
No other method is working for me
There have been plenty of people looking, I haven't checked back on this thread in a while because I expected better, faster responses. But, that's nearly rude to ask for someone to post it, then saying "I found it, goodbye." when we are all aware people are looking for it, and finding difficulty finding it. I'll dismiss it as a moment of not thinking, but that should've been shared.
Here is the apk file:
http://www.mediafire.com/?l8gqi9egdna5vps
But,
I cannot install the apk file of Google Earth v1.1. onto Motorola Milestone. The system informs "application not installed". I uninstalled the apk of v1.0, then tried to install again this apk 1.1. However, it happened again: Application not installed"
I downloaded the apk file v1.1 from the internet. I tried to 3 different apk files, but the same wrong thing: Application not installed.
I tried to re-installed the apk v1.0, it informed"out of space" though i got the apk v1.0 installation succefully.
Please help!
I posted many forum but no answers found. Please answer

Is it possible to install Play Store on a non approved phone

I have a phone, Thl W1 ICS that does not have Play Store installed. Is it possible to install Play Store. I have been trying for a week and the closest I can get is a Server Error screen. If it's not possible lesson learnt, if it can be done could someone tell me how. This is my first Android device so knowledge is limited. Thanks either way Mike
Yes, but you will have to modify your build.prop so it identifies as a supported android device. Find a supported/official android device that has the closest spec to your phone. Also, you will need the google framework (you might as well just flash the ICS gapps from CM, they will work on AOSP roms also)
Yeah, just search the forums. I believe the thread on how to do this is in the Devlopment forums.
Would like to give flashing gapps a try but every post I've read requires Clockwordmod but without play store I am unable to get it as every download site refers back to play store

Many apps dont seem to care as my HP Touchpad shows up with the name cm_tenderloin on Google Play since its unofficial. Its only some games that flag as incompatible. I imagine most other apps just care about Android OS version and processor instruction set (ARM11, ARMv7).

You can try alternative android market's like 1mobile market that might help you find something to help you install the play store

[Q] How to fix Chinese Samsung Galaxy

Hello,
I'm the owner of a Samsung GT-I8250 phone. This phone has been specially made for the chinese market. I found the phone on the streets I managed to get it on english language so I could use it.
Things like google play are not installed and i'm not able to use it (I can install it but it's not working). I am able to install apps using wondershare mobilego, however many apps are not working or behaving strange. My guess is that there are some chinese blockers or something on this phone.
Is it possible to re-install a fresh android installation on this phone? Guess I need to root the phone for this, I already found to do this with a program called ZhuoDashi, but I'm not sure if there's a android version available for this phone that I can use.
Anyone have some advice about this?
Greets, Sander

I have googled and troubleshooted but I cant seem to get it to connect to google servers , no matter what I do the wifi icon stays grey.
Any help or enlightenment on this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in Advance.
There is a app called market unlocker, maybe that will help

Thanks for your help , im managed to figure it out but heres the procedure in case people in the future want to know :
1) Root device (I used kingo root for compatibility sake)
2) Download google playstore,loginservice,serviceframework apk(should suffice)
3) Install root explorer
4) Move apk file to system/apps

[Completed] Google play services constantly being removed

Got an iDeaUSA CT740K tablet with missing Google play services. I wasnt even able to sing into any google account because of the missing google play services. However, I found an APK version of the services for the tab and installed it. It fixed the problem, well, for a while. Whenever i install the apk it fixes the problem and i am able to download stuff from google play, however, google play services remove from itself after about 10-20min and i cant download anything from google play again. I tried to move the apk into root/system/apps but it didnt help (the device is rooted). I wanted to flash gapps but i dont have a custom recovery (cant do it with the stock one, as it seems) to do it so, because there isnt any available yet. Also, there isnt a stock firmware available so cant re-flash it over the current one. I tried factory reset and erased internal memory but didnt help.
There are 3 games from fox which appear on the tab even after being uninstalled. I assume that the tablet cough some viruses and they are the reason for this happening.
If someone has a solution, feel free to share it
Thanks!
