Rooted Tablet S now no Play Store

[tippo88]

I have rooted my sony tablet s ( Android 4.03 release 1a) using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 after rooting all my apps were wiped which is no big deal but Play Store has also been removed. I downloaded an apk and installed but this runs and then says its stopped working. If i go into settings- aps and uninstall playstore updates it says that it will revert to the factory version but am then back in the same situation with Play Store not installed at all.
(In fact in settings-aps a large number of my apps are listed as installed when in fact they are not).

Any help much appreciated.

In fact it seems that the root didn't work just deleted the apps etc. Would still like to root so any advice appreciated.

Just do a factory reset and play store should be back.

You would lose your root. Use condi to install a play store which include more apps

That is not correct. After a factory reset, you still have root. I think it is a good thing to do a factory reset, after rooting or update.

Regarding loss of root access after performing a Factory Reset, I believe both of you are correct. I believe it depends on which rooting method was used.

If Condi's ALLinONE tool was used to directly root a tablet's OS (i.e., Main Menu's selection 1), then root access will be lost when a Factory Reset is performed because the rooting changes to the tablet's OS were not saved (flashed) in the tablet's System ROM.

And even though I have not used the newer rooting method originally posted by WonderEkin, I believe if it was used, then root access will be lost for the same reason. Of course, I could be mistaken.

However, if Condi's ALLinONE tool was used to pre-root and install a tablet's OS (Main Menu's selection 3, then next menu's selection 1), then root access will not be lost when a factory reset is performed because the rooting changes to the tablet's OS were saved (flashed) in the tablet's System ROM.

I have used the pre-root/install method twice on two different tablet's and have performed a Factory Reset on both tablets several times, and neither tablet has ever lost root access.
