I got my HTC J from China. It has got China market HTC Marketplace Chineese and lots of chinese apps and no google play store.

Searched some but got no solution and decided to start a solution for all people.

1. Unlock from HTCDEV
2. Install Recovery
   Download x920e Open Recovery from HERE
   
   Install via fastboot
   
   
   Code:

   fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

3. Gain Root Access via Recovery
   Download and copy Root file to your x920e storage . Download from here .
   
   Reboot into recovery
   Install zip from sdcard
   Chose Root.zip
   Reboot system

Now you are unlocked and rooted. Let's install Google Play Store

Download GooglePlay files from HERE
Copy to your system/app folder via Root Explorer.
Now install 3 files

• GoogleLoginService.apk
• GoogleServicesFramework.apk
• Google_Play-v3.8.17.apk

Now Reboot. After reboot finish you can login with your google account.

Have Fun.

Ps: Only tried with X920e No idea about x920d etc.
Ps 2 : i am cleaning china rom. I will share clean backup soon.

X920e is HTC Butterfly, not HTC J Butterfly.

BTW, if you use OpenRecovery, you can use adb sideload, no need to copy zip to phone.

Did you backup origin rom? Pls post it also... Need it to update OTA.

I think I saw the original Recovery on another site. Let me see if I can find it again. It was a chinese site, so hopefully I bookmarked it.

Doesn't seem to work for me. Rooted and have recovery installed, but when installing GAPPs, it just gives the 'Google Framework Services has stopped working' message, and the Play Store just displays 'Server error'. I'm on an X920e.

it is stock but rooted and custom recovery installed.

well if you want to get ota update. restore this backup and download ota update from rom section. than pull recovery.img from ota zip then flash via fastboot.

then reboot phone check for update then it will download and install from original recovery.

many thanks to you guys, you saved me
i bought the phone here in china and was surprised that no google software on it, only the htc markt.

now i have rooted it and installed recovery and gapps, every thing great

only the root seams to be not 100%, titanium backup says not able to get root

when i open the superuser app (i gess) i become two options in chinese, dont know what it means, when i press the right one the phone restarts immediately, i think it is a bug

thanks again, i am very happy now with the phone
