Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...
I finally solved this on my own. Anyone facing a similar situation, follow this and you will be signing in to google in no time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44615378#post44615378
Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.
Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?

Hello guys !
It's my first topic on XDA but I watch XDA's activity for 2/3 years.
Now, I have a serious problem and I didn't see anything about him.
I bought my tab 3 10.1 on a french distributor (RueDuCommerce). It works well (as good as can a tab 3). I root this tablet and install some ROM (to remove the boring TouchWiz). It works but big apps like XBMC crashed. I think that's because it uses too many memory.
I gave it to my mum, so I flashed a stock ROM via this site. After a while, every apps clashed, at start or in use.
So decided to flash a stock ROM from Sammobile and it's the same.
Can you help me, by show me how to restore everything correctly to use my warranty ? Or fix this bug ? Because it's unusuable :/
Thanks for your help ! I will be attentive to your answers.
Nover
I've found the problem but I don't know how to fix it.
There is a issue when the RAM is overload. I can go through it by clean current application.
I must found a way to do it automatically. An idea ?
Hi guys, I hope someone can help me with my stated query
I recently installed aptoide because I wanted to update an older version of KICK by Samsung (it's unavailable in my country on the Play Store) and found its possible through aptoide, I want to know if I update an app that is currently unavailable for my device due to region locks and the like, when a newer version is available, will I be able to update from the Play Store or have I lost that right by updating through aptoide?
Please answer as I need to know, I've updated many Google apps from aptoide as it currently isn't available in my country(ZA) and I don't want to lose Play Store functionality.
Thanks in advance to anyone who has the slightest idea on the matter

For me as you have not installed an application through the Play store it will not offer you any upgrade for this application but it will carry on offering updates for the applications installed through the play store.
But in another hand Aptoide will offer updtes for the applications it has installed.
Hey guys just need some help here.
Because of the release date is still due for germany i decided to buy the ZE551 ML online.
I ordered it at tinydeal.com. As it seems i now have an somewhat chinese Version where i cant even add an google account.
Also i have trouble installing Google-Playstore properly because it crashes all the time (as well as other Google apps, tried to figure out why but all online solutions didnt help)
A freind said this might happen because of no Google Account being registered.
What should i do in your opinion?
Best option is probably to flash it for some EU/NA Version right ?
then i should be able to add an google account and set up all the apps properly ?
Thank you for your help!

I accidentally bought the CN version myself
I read somewhere earlier this method should work to add gapps to the CN version. --> http://goo.gl/ea7bCv
Make sure and remove your previous PlayStore install before.
I didnt get mines yet, but if ur willing to try it, see if it helps!
If not then the pre-root img should do the trick --> http://goo.gl/7viYVt
Hello, I got a new zenfone 2 ZE551ML from China without google account manager / google play. I am from Germany and need this. I check the internet and this forum, but there was no working solution for me. I installed Mi market, next the ggogle installer.....but it dosent work because in the end by click google account log in I got the message Connection problem with the google server....try again later.....
So I think the best way would be to install a new rom. But I have the problem to find a rom which support google and German lenguage with an instruction how to do it.
Please can you help me?
Hi, link
I have a Galaxy Tab S 10.5(SM-T807P) Running Stock 5.0.2
I'm trying to find a way to get this device to play XCOM Enemy within, I've tried to see if there is a thread on XDA supporting this idea before posting this, if missed it and there is a link that someone can provide I would greatly appreciate it. However if there is not one I would like some help with someone who has some free time to assist.
I've never rooted before but I am not opposed to the idea(if it would help me accomplish this) with some instructions on how do it.
Thanks!
Have you tried finding the apk file and installing it manually? I've installed one or two apps this way and had no issues on my Tab S
(you don't need to have a rooted device to do this)
Edit: XCOM and EW are BY FAR two of my favourite games. And XCOM 2 is definitely in the same league
