Many many many thankssssss...worked on Chinese Samsung N7108... i bought a used Note II and was not aware of the difference between N7108 & N7100... It already had play store and other google stuff installed. 5 days back i upgraded the firmware using KIES & messed up with the china toy. Rooted the device using KingoRoot &have been searching for the solution and found this thread just now and you saved my hard earned money...Many thanks for this post.

Google Playstore works and lets me download apps but playstore constantly crashed so I had to remove it.

- Google playstore still works without the play services
- How do I get the right version of google play services?

Someone please help me... I am rooted with kingroot. I followed all steps to install google play store. When I got to the market I went ahead to login... Once I put login info in, it went to a white screen like it was trying to load and stayed that way for 30 minutes. I went back to the post and it said you could skip step and go straight to install play store. I followed the next steps and came back in. When I try to open the play store it says "error retrieving information from server rh-01

What do I need to do

Just an FYI, my girls have 2 Fire HD7 4th gens. They are running Fire OS 5.1.2. I was able to successfully install the playstore, framework etc. without root using RootJunky's Supertool for the 5th gen Fire 7. Before you login to the playstore, sign into your Google account via a web browser and enable 2 step verification. You can disable it after you once you get signed in.

I think this thread is kinda old, but I would greatly appreciate any help! Thank you!!

I have the same tablet, same OS. Can you briefly describe what you did. I am unclear about the vending.apk. After using the original method, which fails, did you manually remove that vending.apk from system/apps, copy the downloaded one to system/priv-app and install it from there? Wasn't sure what you meant by the original vending.apk in system/app as that isn't in FireOS.

I did all of the above steps, and the play services won't update because the vending apk won't connect to the server

Followed the instructions -- now the message "Google Play Services has stopped working" pops up several times a minute. The only way I can stop it is to uninstall the Google Play Services. Anybody have any suggestions???

    Maybe I missed it... but what about the "Account And Sync Settings-2.3.4.apk" file? You never say when to install it.

    tried that
    like I said
    the market works just fine, it's only when I update to the play store that it breaks
    thanks for the suggestion
    With all due respect to the OP, there is already a working tutorial for getting the Play Store installed. It is very specific and has to be done a certain way in order to guarantee your success.

    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069329

    The manual method from that thread is what the RootPlus script to install the Play Store is based on and works ~99% of the time for all 2nd generation devices.

    Does adding the Google Play store using this method require the Kindle Fire to be rooted?

    It says [ROOT] right in the title of the post. (Typed exactly the same as the post title.)
