Hi,
I own a toshiba ac100-10d which is the model with only wifi (no 3g) and android 2.1, which unfortunately comes with no android market preinstalled. I tried to install one using one of the many packages which you can found online. The problem comes, when I try to login in my gmail account. It says "can't extablish a reliable data connection" and it doesn't login into the account. If I try to login via youtube it creates the account but it doesn't sync it. I have moderate experience with android so you can easily tell me what I have to do. Do you think it would be possible to install the market on this ac100?
Thanks to anyone who will help me!

It would be possible if I can get him into recovery menu. Just working on it as if it could still do that I have uploaded some files to the inside. Root can be done by z4Root 1.3.0.apk. Can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834428
I've made some headway
I have installed some files from cyanogenmods tegra compiled gapps + a newer vending.apk(Market) and a diffrent Google Talk app.
I had the same problem you have, but this suddently resolved itself for reasons unknown
Gmail Works and syncs
Google Maps works
Market starts and is stable without forced close, but I can't download apps, and I get Google Talk Authentication errors wich I belive are related to the market issue (the error also appears without the talk.apk installed)
I've got a new talk.apk from a samsung galaxy s, but it will not complete the sign in process
I feel I am really close to cracking this one, but I'm really stuck.
If anyone is interested, I can post which apk files I've installed in the /system/app folder.
Oh, I forgot to say:
I've got the same 10d version without 3g, but mine runs the updated Android 2.2
So it appears that sometimes market init it works, sometimes not ... Strange
I played and did many factory resets to find the right way and now it works (triple checked!)
I have a ac100-114 (French, no 3g), with android 2.2 and rooted with z4root.
(For anyone playing with adb : before doing anything, make backups with the tegra tools, and be careful with this powerful tool!)
I also used a package from cyanogenmod : the gApps from tegra. (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Gapps#Google_Apps)
I looked into gAppsInstaller (here:
http://code.google.com/p/archos-apps-installer/downloads/list and here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=867303) to find what are the mandatory apps to install from the gApps cm package:
Into /system/app/
GenieWidget
GoogleBackupTransport
GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter
GoogleFeedback
GoogleServicesFramework
MarketUpdater
MediaUploader
NetworkLocation
Talk
Vending
Youtube *
Into /system/framework/
com.google.android.maps.jar
Into /system/lib/
libspeech.so
libvoicesearch.so
Into /system/etc/permissions/
features.xml
com.google.android.maps.xml
* I had to replace Youtube.apk (in attachment) : I don't know why, but the one from cm is not working and prevent, even without launching it, the login into the market. I retrieved it from my hd2 running android ;-)
Installing maps in /system/app prevents Market initialization.
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!
Enter a random username (very important!), a random password and click next.
The market should start checking and then tell you the login is wrong : good, it connected !
Now click back, then enter your google account and click next : the Market should accept it and show the license page.
Accept it, the market should appear a few seconds before foreclosing. Launch it again, it will forceclose again.
The third launch should be the right one !
You will get forcecloses right after each app installation, but nothing to worry about : the app stays and appears in the download section of the market
Gmail can be installed from the market.
Your contacts should be synchronized, Talk and Youtube should work.
Problems:
For maps you will have to get the apk somewhere else.
The calendar is missing.
@tharf
Your method works perfectly .. Thx for that. Only problem is that the service framework starts some kind of messaging service and that wakes the ac100 from standby every couple minutes.... I tried fixing that but couldn´t do it... ;0(
So this fix is kind auseless for me...
But keep up the good work... ;0)
FC reason is a
Code:
E/DatabaseUtils( 1547): java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: writing com.google.android.gsf.settings.GoogleSettingsProvider uri content://com.google.settings/partner from pid=10019, uid=10069 requires com.google.android.providers.settings.permission.WRITE_GSETTINGS
for com.android.vending.
Does anyone has an idea how to fix android permissions, as it recreates /data/system/packages.xml if i change it?
Thanks for pointing out where is the FC cause !
I did some more tests, and it seems that if the packages.xml gets modified, followed by sync (just in case, I don't know anything about caching on the ac100), and then a kill -9 -1 is executed, the added permission stays, even if the packages.xml gets scrambled after reboot
For me it works : no more FCs
I found another thing : in order to see apps in the market that asks for the gps (maps, catch notes ...), just had this line to /system/etc/permissions/android.hardware.location.xml, in the <permissions> tag :
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
(Make a backup of the file first )
So the bottom part of the file should look like :
<permissions>
<feature name="android.hardware.location" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.network" />
<feature name="android.hardware.location.gps" />
</permissions>
But in order to get it working, you will need to login to the market for the first time, so a factory reset is required
hey, sorry for the dumb question..
i´ve downloade z4root and clicked on temporarly root...after a few
secs the progress ran through and the ac100 rebooted.
now i tried to install the gAppsInstaller v5 for arcors but got the error message, that no files were copied.
how did you do this?
can you please poste a howto for dummies q.q?
you wrote"
Then I did a factory reset, followed by the Toshiba first init and wifi configuration.
Now start the Market : nothing else or you might have to factory reset to start over!"
didnt you install the googlemarket after the reset, did it remain :O?
thanks
Hi,
Good job at first for trying this amazing way to install gapps into Ac100.
In my experience, that method worked well, but it seems, after pushing the mandatory apk files to the system partition, and factory resetting, in the Toshiba device initiation settings, turning on wifi will keep the Google account settings connection from working.
I've been trying many times, only turning on wifi when google login process begins will work.
No idea why that happens.
Regards.
hey gus,
i´ve come this far
ehhm..the files you mentionend.. i have copied them into the right folders, but the won´t get installed, i get parsing errors..
can someone please upload the working files?
working apps:
maps.apk
youtube.apk

market on toshiba AC100
Hi Guys
I can confirm that google market is possible on AC100. Also Gmail, Talk and Maps is working fine :
Can anyone please post a guide to get gApps working? (Gmail / Vending) Maps works standalone, but as far as i can see, the others need something!
Like a user above, i can't root my ac-100, it freezes and restart. If it's not rooted, i can't access the folders tharf was talking about in a previous post.
Thanks
Ok, i've managed to solve somethings (hopefully everything)
Unfortunately to root my AC100, i used ADB (I installed SuperOneClick in a previous try, don't know if it helped or not).
ADB is a tool developed inside Android project, that allows developers to test their apps directly on their phones, rather than an emulator. There are plenty of tutorial to get it started, just google it! It's not easy at first, but was the only thing allowed me to copy the files.
For those familiar with this development tool, just plug the device (ac100) in and execute
"adb remount"
in a "cmd" shell (i worked under windows). it magically remounts your system partition in RW, instead of default RO. This way you can "adb push" the files tharf listed in his first post!
Next, follow his indications:
-factory reset (HOME button+POWER button), follow the system reset, press 1 to continue, wait a few minutes and it will reboot on his own, give it time.
-configure ac100, like the first time
-connect it to wifi
-open Market App (you'll find it on the Toshiba Home menu, in the end)
-connect with random user, let it fail the authentication, the use a real one, and you're good to go!
I installed a few apps, so far so good. Only thing to keep in mind: Market launches an error after installing an app. No worries, it's fine: just press OK and go on.
I was interested in Gmail app, so i "adb push"ed it from the beginning, and it worked at first try. Same for Talk, Contacts, Youtube and Maps (find the apk, it's not hard )
Thanks to all, hope this could help.
Toshiba AC100
I've afforded this laptop two days and so far where i updated and hadded
the portuguese language, but when i when in settings->language it simples does not exist.
I dont have anything against english, but i need at least the ortography.
I could use spannish but i rather have english
Every time I run market/gtalk,I get this Message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. If it continues, call Customer Care."
Thnx a lot - got Market, Gmail, Maps, ... working too. Have only tested it for some minutes - but hope it will work forever
Very good especially as the Toshiba AC100 10V with UMTS is now really cheap here.
Still have the Market problem with crash after install/deinstall of an app.
Anyone tried the newer GoogleApps for Tegra from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912633
I tried to get rid of the market crash. So I did the following:
adb shell connect to /data/system after root
chmod 777 packages.xml
sync
kill -9 -1
But that didn't work I still get the crashes. Can you help me with more details what you mean with 'the added permission stays'?
Thanx in advance.
Firmware from the Russian community users of the AC100 Toshiba (android 2.2) All Google applications work fine(Market+Gmail+Tack)!
Different from the standard:
1. Root
2. Busybox 1.19
3. Google Apps, including the latest market (by 116(Toshiba AC 100-116- russian 3G+Wi-Fi+32Gb model) runs without any problems), SetupWizard works too
4. Jorte - perfect replacement calendar from Google, beautiful, seeing all the calendars
5. Ad Blocking
6. Titanium Backup
7. Terminal Emulator
8. New splash screen
9. Spare Parts
10. Easy selection of widgets
Installation in Windows:
1. Download the firmware
2. Unpack
3. Translating the device in boot mode (turn off, esc + control + power)
4. Install the driver from the archive
5. Run bat file from the archive (ac100flash.cmd)
6. We are waiting for the end of the loading and turning off the device while holding the button 10 seconds
7. Turn device, answer all the questions for 116 checking in via 3G.
8. Enjoy.

Ok gang, hopefully this will work - FOR ALL OF YOU.
****You need ROOT on the device you purchase it from*****
EG: My phone is rooted (SGS2/E4GT)
Easiest way, for me (IN USA)
Needed:
1. Android Phone that's ROOTED that can purchase Mass Effect in Play Store
2. Rom Toolbox Lite (Or comparable Root Browser that can see and goto /data/app)
or
2a. Titanium Backup
3. Gmail/Dropbox
Here we go (Rooted way):
1. Purchase Mass Effect Infiltrator within Play Store
2. Install the APK/Application (Once purchased it will download and allow it to install the apk/application)
3. Download/install Rom Toolbox Lite (Thanks JRummy16!!)
4. Open Rom Toolbox Lite and scroll down to Root browser. Allow permissions.
5. Scroll down to /data/app
6. Find your recently purchased .com.ea.games.meinfiltrator_**-1.apk (** stands for country code)
7. Copy file to another directly (I used my download directory)
8. Exit out and open up regular file browser (I used My Files browser or ES File Explorer)
9. Find your file wherever you copied it. Press/hold and select Share. Either email it to yourself or upload it to your dropbox
10. goto your prime, download apk, install. Open up a beer, have a raspberry lemonade cooler, or goto church while you wait 20-40 minutes while it downloads (790 megs on my end).
11. Get the best earbuds you have, plug it in, and ENJOY.
12. Test it and make sure it runs properly. Come back here and use 1 of your daily thanks ;-)
Titanium Backup Way
Do #1 and #2 from above.
Backup MEInfiltrator
Send it to yourself (or use dropbox)
Skip to #10 above and enjoy the rest of your day
I hope this works for everyone. I've gotten 4 people who used Evo 3Ds and Galaxy Note to confirm this works.
BTW - no crashes for me, but i'm still on .15.
Let me know how it works!!
PS This way can be used for other games that do not run properly because of the developer not submitting proper screen sizes or dpis in the application. When Dead Space first came out (by EA), you could only play it vertically on the prime. They soon (within a month or so) submitted the proper app.
OK, sorry to necro-post, but... I can see this working on some devices, but regardless, it won't work whatsoever on newer ones like the NVIDIA Shield Tablet because it just isn't compatible with the higher resolutions. It will give you a server error 5002 no matter what.
Follow the instructions below in order to get Google Wallet to work on the Xperia P. Root needed, US cards only (though the app will launch anywhere).
1. Upgrade to a ROM based on 6.1.1.B.1.54. I used stock, here
2. Edit the build.prop to enable access to the secure element. This file can be edited using a root explorer, or through "Rom Toolbox Lite", available on Google Play here.
a. get Rom Toolbox Lite
b. On the "performance" tab, use the build.prop editor to edit "ro.nfc.se.smx.enable" to true
c. restart3. Get yourself a copy of the r87 version of Google Wallet (older versions won't work properly), which has been modded to work on any region and device
a. push the apk into /system/app and /data/app
b. use a root explorer to change the permissions of each apk copied to rw-r--r--
c. restart4. Google Wallet should now show up in the app drawer. If it's not there, use Titanium Backup to defrost google wallet/freeze google partner services
5. Launch Google Wallet and set it up. All steps should work fine. Note an account with a US home address registered on Google Wallet is required. If in doubt, create a new google account. After choosing an account, add a card and select it.
6. Go into your phone's settings, then "more...", then right under NFC the wallet option should now be clickable. Select "Google Wallet"
7. Go to a shop and tap to pay
This only works for US credit cards. Although I'm in Australia and managed to get the app installed and a card added, at the shop the payment gets declined.
If the instructions above don't work, I also made some additional changes to build.prop that might have been needed:
ro.nfc.on.default = true
ro.product.device = maguro
ro.product.model = Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name = yakju
I bought a Mediapad X1 from China via AliExpress.
I cannot make anything from a limited Chinese ROM.
Anybody who has international ROM or can extract it from the international version, please help!

The international version hasn't been released yet... I bought mine (4G version) through Lenteen from Hong-Kong, and everythings works fine ! I installed google apps, rooted my phone
I know that Huawei was supposed to release it at the end of may in France but any news nowhere on the web... none even from Huawei themself !
So we just have to wait and see...

Thank you for the reply, some questions:
1. So, yours is also a Chinese version?
2. Please post the link for rooting.
3. After rooting, install the GApp, version for 4.2.2? And then we can go for anything, like Nova launcher?

When the phone reboot, after you renamed the file, gapps are automatically installed by the phone.. You don't have to use recovery mode at all !!
And for now, i'm not sure that CWM is available for this model... I think i saw it on a chinese forum but when i translate it's too messy and i have to be registered on this forum to download it so... we have to wait that someone make a post here in english with th e CWM in download...

Okay, I see the point, we just install portions of Google apps we need, starting with play store, the any thing you need.
I do hope we'll have CWM, or at least hardware ways to boot into download and recovery mode.
The KitKat may be far from reality?

We'll get Kikat firmware on this phone for sure, we just have to wait from Huawei to rolling out this version.
It's not portions of google apps as when you do this procedure i explained, ALL the gapps are installed automatically on the phone.
Basically, Huawei made a script in the phone for not allowing these apps to be installed, but when you rename this file, the script is no longer available, then all the gapps are installing after the next reboot !
Mediapad X1 7D-503L
The only deference is the directory:
/ cust / channel / charm_china_l / xml / ( charm_china_l not charm_china_u)
and i use the command as su
mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs /cust
because when It try to rename the UNSTALL_APK.XML I take the error "Read-only file system"
thanks
X1 undetectable by the PC
I have GApps Syncing quite fine without rooting, except the contacts sync which is missing from the sync list. I see your steps are very straight forward, but unfortunately my X1 is not recognized by the PC, although I've installed HiSuite from Huawei website. I've also tried to install Huawei device driver for X1 from this site, but still unrecognized. Accordingly GeniusRoot is unable to detect and root my X1.
I'm Win 8.1 (both 32 and 64 bits), and I've tried to do all these procedures with Compatibility model for Win7, run as administrator, yet the X1 is till not detected by the PC.
Also USB Debugging is enabled in Developer Options.
Any idea what's the reason for this?
More info about my version:
Baseband: 21.529.00.00.000

Restarting the Huawei Honor Mediapad/Honor X1 , applications will be automatically downloaded and installed on the phone and you will have access to all Google services including synchronization of contacts !
*
WARNING: by doing this manipulation, future updates will no longer be compatible with the device and you will have to rename the file UNSTALL_APK.XML.OLD to UNSTALL_APK.XML to update the device. Otherwise, you can make a copy of the original file that you can keep safe somewhere on your phone or computeur.
If anything goes wrong that's your entire responsability !

OK I managed to figure out the solution
Used Root File Manager to rename and voila!! Renamed the file, restart device and got all the Google stuff setup on the phone
Now there is this second problem which is a big pain in the arse
I can't add a second Google account on the phone to get all my contacts..........
Under settings -> accounts -> add account -- there is no option to select "Google" !!!!
Have anyone also face this problem and is there any solution??
Thanks in advance for the help
Guys, you do not need root or tricks to install Google stuff.
Open the Huawei app market. Search for Google. Click on the big Google banner at the top of the page. You get a dedicated page of Google stuff. There you have download links for play store, all the Google apps, and if you can figure out a little Chinese, calendar sync and contact sync software too.

I can confirm this is true. I did a search for "gms" rather than Google - tap on the big link you get at the top of the results page, which takes you to a page of all the Google apps and services, and install everything! (You can always uninstall what you don't need later). No root required, and everything is syncing properly - calendar, contacts, tasks etc. Super easy.

Have you got Google Contacts Sync in your list of downloaded apps?

Danny here's how to fix it, and u don't need root
if u have rooted and edited the unstall_apk.xml, best is download and flash the stock ROM first:
http://consumer.huawei.com/cn/support/downloads/detail/index.htm?id=20241 (click 立即下载 on the right)
u can also ignore it but all preinstalled google apps will become system apps, and if u've deleted some huawei bloatware u might not be able to OTA update latest B006 firmware
All the Google stuff can work perfectly even can add multiple Google accounts. Best thing is, u don't need root. Here's how:
1) Go to app centre - all - brand and look for the one with 谷歌 (sorry I've updated app centre and it might be different if u haven't update)
2) Download 联系人同步服务, 日历同步服务, Google Playstore, Gmail and Google plus. The rest can be downloaded from playstore
3) After install, open either playstore or gmail and sign in
At this stage, Google is already setup properly with contacts sync just it cannot add multiple Google accounts. Workaround:
4) Open Google plus. Settings - add account
And voila. The phone is perfect now
There's also an OTA update for the LTE version which updates your phone firmware to 7D-503LV100R001C233B006
Cool new features includes double tap screen on, some control over notification flash light for messages and background battery optimization :good:
Play Store will not connect.
I found this repair and thought my problems were answered but add this problem can anybody help thank you..
Fix did not work for me. it said error writing to file.
I'm using a ZTE majesty droid. any ideas where to go from here. thanks. have a great day.
Here is a short fix for the No Connection Error on play store. It may not work on all devices.
1. Download Total Commander from Play Store or HERE.
2. Install it in your Device.
3. Open Total Commander and goto Root of System. (/ )
4. Open the etc folder.
5. Find the file named "hosts", and hold it for 3 seconds. Choose edit file, and choose Total Commander Text Editor if prompted.
6. Delete everything and paste this at the first line: " 127.0.0.1 localhost". Copy it exactly, dont modify anything.
7. Save the file and overwrite if needed.
That won't work without root access. Did you install any type of ad blocker? Did this just start happening? Have you made any recent mods or changes? Tried to delete the cache and/or data of the Play Store and Google Services Framework + reboot?
no have not added ad blocker. Seems like Play Storeor maybe Google search updated would not work.are you saying I should delete cache and gotta on Google Play Store and framework? Then reboot. or are you asking me if I have done that already.I have done that with Play Store I was told that would fix the problem. but the problem already existed at that time and it did not help.
thanks a bunch for the help let me know what you think.
assuming you wanted me to try to delete the cache and data file I just did and it did not help still no connection error.
thanks for any help greatly appreciated
Seems like there is a handful of things that causes this error. One of them is the time and date - Are they correct? You also emailed earlier, I believe. The best way to chat is in my signature.
The time and date are set correctly. How do I gain root access?
I'm new on thisform what is my signature?
Thank you
Depends on which software version you are on. Not just the android version.
