Trio 4.3 Root and Google Play Store

Hi,
Like everyone else I have to say"Follow these instructions at your own risk" I do not take any responsibility for any thing that happens. It worked for me so it may work for you!
Trio 4.3 Internet Tablet M4302 Model Trio 4.3MID 4.0C by Mach Speed Technologies
I just picked this tablet up. I have successfully rooted it and have installed a working Play Store. I now have access to all my apps that I use on my Galaxy Note 10.1.
To root I used the instructions from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
Once I had root I wanted to get Google Play Store on the tab. I found a couple of places that had information concerning adding Play Store to other devices and kind of pieced the info together to come up with this solution.
1. Download gapps for ICS. http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
2. Unzip file
3. Navigate to the " System/app " folder and find "phonesky.apk and setupwizard.apk"
(You will need to copy these two files to your tablet)
4. Once files are on tablet use something like "Root Explorer" to copy both to the "system/app" folder of the tablet.
(The folders will need to be mounted as "R/W" so they can be written to )
5. After the files are copied to the proper folder, you need to edit the permissions for both.
6. In "Root Explorer" long press on each file and choose "permissions"
7. Edit permissions to read "Owner: Read, Write" "Group: Read" "Others: Read"
8. Reboot and launch Play Store

Frys has this for $49...thinking I might need to order it as a music player for my 2 month old!

I used this method to get Google Play Store to work, But its not rooted. At least you can download the files.

works great thanks successfully rooted and installed google play on my trio stealth lite 4.3" internet tablet m4302 runing android 4.0.4 :victory:

Mine came rooted
Thank you for this post!
Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone who finds this thread through Google or whatever, like I did, that it's possible your device is already rooted.
I bought mine today from Big Lots - branded as a: Trio 4.3" Touch Screen Media Player for Android by Mach Speed Technologies - on the box (well blister plastic wrap thing that is Hades to open...). The instruction user's manual, however just calls it a Trio 4.3" Internet Tablet.
(Specs from the box.)
Android OS 4.0
4.3" Capacitive Touch Screen
4GB Internal Memory with Micro SD Slt (Up to 32GB)
Built-in WiFi
Speaker
Auto Rotate for Portrait & Landscape Viewing
1.2GHz Processor
Rechargable Li-on Battery
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, and let everyone know to check your device first. There may be better ways to check, but there are a couple of apps in the Amazon App Store called "Root Checker" - don't get the "My Root Checker" - it has crazy pop-up ads - I deleted it in seconds. But just check to see if your device is rooted. It could save you some time, and potential headaches.

Well, jsut confirming that this guide works. In the root post, I used the stadard root method...if you are like me and got this for a little one, they wanted apps. Of course I couldnt open until today...but it really works. I just dowloaded the root explorer apk (a quick google search worked) and installed it...i can upload a screen shot if necessary

My Trio also had root access right out of the box. Followed the instructions right down to obtaining the "root explorer" apk. Worked like a charm, no issues at all. Now I just need to find a custom rom that will perform better than stock. Thanks for all the info.

Hulu Plus
Since this is the best thread for this tablet I've found. I wanted to ask if anyone has gotten Hulu to work? I have installed many different versions including the latest and all of them will play the ads just fine, but once it gets the episode it just sits there and buffers and buffers and buffers. Devices on the same WIFI have no issues. I am even talking with Hulu suppor about it and of course they are playing dumb about it and just giving me standard troubleshooting. Is this tablet blocked by Hulu somehow because it's chinese made? I don't get a region error, which I can force with proxies and such. I just get buffering and buffering and buffering. Any help would be much appreciated.

I need firmware or update.zip im stuck on boot screen.

Rooted successfully, have play store app but won't open...help

I properly rooted my Kindle fire HD. I then tried to install the play store app. I went to about 5 or 6 different website with similar but different instructions how to get the play store app working. For the life of me I can't get it to work. I have all the files installed and it shows the play store app on the device but when I click on it nothing happens. It will let me install the program but when I click open it does nothing. I've restarted it, tried different tips from different websites and am completely at a loss for what my next trouble shooting tip needs to be.
Also, I saw where you can remove the ads by changing the extension name of a file to .bat or go in and uncheck some boxes, both in the super user ES3 folders and neither one will accept the changes.
Please help my sanity.

Uninstall the Play Store in whatever way you can (such as using ES File Explorer), then use the KF Fist Aide tool to install the Play Store again. It also has an option to remove the Amazon ads too.

Help Needed, Play Store Stops Working Everytime

As'slamu Allekum (Peace To You All)
I've got an Amazon Fire Phone 32GB and by seeing some tutorials i was enable to install play store in it, but after a day or two it stopped working, then i formated it and installed everything again, it worked fine for two days and after it again same happened, when i open play store it shows only white screen and nothing happens, no message, no errors, no caution, only a white screen, please help me out
Thanks In advance

Install Play Store as a system app, then use any file explorer with root access and go to: "/data/app" and create a new folder named "com.android.vending-1.apk. This will act as a placeholder to avoid auto updates until your problem is fixed.
Please provide more information about the GApps you have currently installed: write down the exact version number of the Play services, Play Store, Google account manager, etc. so it will be easier to locate the problem.
Please list also if you use any extended privacy tools or Xposed modules...

Disney+ and Primevideo on TCL 43P610 Smart tv

Hi, I bought this smart tv yesterday and I saw that it doesn't have many useful apps, including disney + and Primevideo. They are not even present on the store. Also in the system there is no app that acts as a file manager or that allows you to install external apks. I would like to know if anyone knows a way to install those apps, or change firmware, or install a file manager, or something like that. For example i see on youtube that with old smart tv they were able to downgrade the firmware and install a different store from which they install a file manager, and from this they install primevideo.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hey @vincent99187 did you manage to install anything on this **** 43P610?
I have bought as well some weeks ago due a good offer but I totally understand why now... Are we forced to buy an external device to have something usesul a side ths chinese **** preinstalled?
I saw a video with same interface and previous 'app store' where was feasible to download 'es file explorer' to navigate and install APK so somehow I still want to believe, however now isn't available to download and I don't find any way to enable adb or to move our things here..

Confused whether or not my Xperia Play is a fake and need help with getting Games

I just got my Sony Ericsson Xperia play and I think i got scammed. (I am a noob to computer things and tech in general so im sorry. I also am young and have no idea whats happening.) So first off, I try and root this, and it doesnt work, it says on Flashtool, {Part 1 of rooting failed, deleting and trying again} or something like that. Also it is a R800i model, but is Verizon, idk if that is supposed to be correct but i though R800i was for At&t. Also im trying to get games but they all fail, i have to get apks but people keep saying to put them in system/apps, which idk where that is on my SD card. I go to my Games file in the SD and see nothing in there, nothing at all. When i try and put my crash bandicoot apk in the game folder, i try and drag it in there and it wont let me, like it doesnt drop in the folder. I Dont know if im just a dumb kid or my Xperia Play is a fake, but i need serious help.

It's been like 20 days since you asked and I hope if you haven't figured it out on your own, that you at least didn't sold it because owning a Xperia Play in 2023 is just based. And there are no fakes.
How do you know it's a Verizon Play, just because of the logo? If you bought it from AliExpress recently, they are refurbished and matched with random shells (we used to have more Plays with a shell without carrier logos afaik but that's a little more rare now). It might be a R800i (carrier unlocked) inside, with a R800x (Verizon) shell.
Check the wiki in here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/xperiaplay/comments/ktz8hx
it literally has all the practical steps you need to follow to install ADB, fastboot and USB drivers, flashing kernels, recoveries and systems, sideloading apps and games... I sent a link to a page that has a link to the wiki, because this page has more useful stuff such as a link to a Discord server with other Xperia Play owners.
There's some stuff you might need to know first tho:
After you have installed ADB, fastboot, the drivers on you computer, unlocked the bootloader, flashed a neat custom kernel, recovery and ROM (I recommend the LuPuS kernel, TWRP and NXT Gaming respectively - bonus with NXT is that you don't need to root it), you'll get to the step of sideloading apps.
To install games, please don't install them to the internal storage even if you had to do it to save your life (that's "/data/app" at the root of the internal storage, because "/system/app" is for system apps... as the path name implies, and it's also at the root of internal storage).
Also don't mind the paths, you'll never need to put APKs there manually, if you install them (like you install any APK in any Android phone) that's where they go to behind the curtains and you don't really need to understand it, unless you want to ofc. Just in case you don't know how to install APKs the normal way, well, that wiki's got your back.
Normal apps like, idk, a terminal emulator, a file manager, you can install to the internal storage (that is, just install and forget about it). For games, you'll want to install them to the SD card (that is, just install them but then go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > [game name] > Move to SD card).
The first app you need to install is a file manager, the wiki teaches you how to install ES but I personally prefer FX. You can follow the same steps but just change the file name, and you can download it here: https://send.vis.ee/download/e1a641e6ee452023/#2sX0oEiwyUn1ciZKc7pAYQ - expires in 3 days.
And to install games, it goes beyond installing their APKs. You'll have to place certain files in certain folders (on the SD card), sometimes it's easier like with Crash Bandicoot, sometimes it's Dark Souls-hard like with some EA and Gameloft games... for that, you can ask for help in the Discord. They also have a lot of game links there.
