So, I purchased this tablet: Teclast x80h as advertised from manifacturer with dualboot Windows 8.1 and Android 4.4.4.
So far I can say Windows is working fine, haven't found a problem with it.
But When I booted the Android I face a common problem in the Google Play: No connection and the button retry.
I searched google and youtube and tried most of the things people wrote there.
1. checking the auto time/date update
2. the timezone
3. deleting all cache from the app
4. I rooted the device using: Kingroot and iRoot and tried to edit the hosts file. But in it there only was this line: 127.0.0.1 localhost - so I had nothing to change there. Tried to edit it anyway with total comander with granted root priv. - I receive "re-mount error".
5. I also tried to fix the issue with a fix from Frontier given here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...8-air-3g-tablet-9-7-2048x1536-t2913035/page43 , but sadly it didn't solve the issue for me.
Any other insight you can give me is welcome.
Thanks in advance to whoever comes to help.

I have the same problem and have tried all morning to fix it. I have managed to root and have tried following Frontiers instructions but just get the same problem at the end of it.
I also found it impossible to delete Play Store using settings as it is a system app, but managed it using an app called "system app remover". Then replaced it with the apk from Frontier but still no luck!

Have just found this, Maybe we have to wait for an update. But as they come in Chinese am not sure I will recognise it!!
http://bbs.teclast.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=262279&highlight=x80h+play+store
Applied fix:
with root browser:
Edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Now Google Play is crashing just before displaying the content ofthe store. Even got it working for few minutes after reinstalling Google Play app and Google Play Services, but after tying to download some app from it it started crashing again. I'm open for suggestions :>
I have those settings in as well, but Play store not working at all. I will try deleting them both and reinstalling

okay, guys, that's how I fixed it:
Fix for Google Playstore on Teclast x80h dualboot
requirements:
For Rooting the tablet:
iRoot
Kingroot
First you run Kingroot - all is in chinese, but it's pretty straight forward deal.
Then you run iRoot and finish the job.
Then you need the following apks:
superSU
root manager
uninstaller (root)
link2SD
google play latest
google play services latest
All this is available on APKmirror.
Copy them somewhere on the tablet (I used the Download folder)
step 1. Install superSU - to be able to grant root privileges to the other apps.
step 2. install root manager
step 3. open it and edit /system/build.prop to:
ro.product.device=picassowifi
ro.product.local.language=en
ro.product.locale.region=US
Then save the changes.
step 4. uninstall the Google Play app that came preinstalled with the tablet. (You can do it with any root uninstaller.)
step 5. install the Google Play apk
step 6. install the Google Play services apk and reboot
step 7. install Link2SD apk and run it. Find the google play app in the list press it and when it opens choose "action" and then make it a system app.
step 8. Reboot the tablet.
Enter the credentials in for your google account and then download any app you want :>
Hope that will help someone. Took me lots of time to figure it out.
Took info from several sources here on XDA and from youtube.
All credit goes to them.
I had done all of the above yesterday and still it didnt work. But today I got a Google Play Services update via Mobo Market and Play Store worked after that!
Got the same tablet and of course play store didn't work. Expected this would require extensive hacks, but apparently there is an update as soon as you connect to internet. Just click update app on the bottom left and then you'll see two buttons (all on Chinese), click the left one and it will download the update for you.

yea, when I received it, that update was downloading a broken zip file and it was giving error. That's why I had to do all that to fix it. Now I'm happy with the tablet.

I think I might be getting a broken Zip as well. Do you by any chance have the .zip for the update?
I followed these instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-supersu-stable-appstore-custom-t3113311 and everything was working fine for a few a while and was even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine! However today, the play store was booting to white however I could swipe right and the options would appear (With a lot of options missing) indicating it wasn't frozen or anything, eventually I got bored of waiting to see if it'll load and played some games, after an hour or so later a game I was playing froze and I rebooted my Fire HD, and upon doing so Virelauncher appears to have been broken, it launches to solid black (sometimes the kindle default background grey colour) however i can still open up the mini dock and open up apps or swipe down and get into settings yet virelauncher is still broken, I think sometimes it straight up crashes and tries to re-open because I see the orange circle loading animation for a few seconds but it just goes black again, anything I could do? Is it bricked?

So I just encouraged you to update to 4.5.4 over in the rooting thread, but seeing this I think you should hold off. This could all be Gapps, but I can't say.
Please clarify: 12 hours ago you posted (in rooting) that you wanted to update play store, yet here you say that for a while you were "even able to have the latest playstore and play services working fine!." Was that a couple hours or a couple days? Did you reboot during that time and everything stayed fine, or was this your first reboot after services update? thx.

It was a good 10+ hours, a few reboots had occurred during then which is why I'm not sure what happened, Virelauncher appears to be working now though and I don't know how it fixed itself just left it on charge, since everything but playstore is working fine right now what do you recommend I do from here? A step to step guide would be great so no issues occurs this time lol.
But yeah I was able to update the store and services fine and they worked for hours until it went blank though everything else that needs the new services continues to work fine (youtube etc), I haven't tried reinstalling the old versions yet in case it made things worse
Edit, I just managed to replicate the Vire Launcher crashing which was from the game Yugioh Duel Generation by trying to click the premium tab, so beware of that anyone else who maybe reading, Maybe I should try installing a different launcher? Either way I'd really love a step by step guide for what to do from here on as the other tutorials seem to use things that the tutorial I used didnt use or mention.
Your edit sounds like it must be Gapps. When the play store is broken, anything you do in an app that would use the store will fail. Don't know why the failure shows up as launcher crash, but I wouldn't do anything that might use the store until this is sorted out.
You could either roll back to older play services and store or update to 4.5.4 and install new Gapps. I'm not sure I can help with either one. For the update you need TWRP and I have only installed it using TWRP manager from the playstore, which you can't use. To rollback you will need to uninstall play services and store, at least, plus reverse other changes you made when you rooted. Others have more experience with that than I do.
Rollback would be less likely to threaten root or a brick, so suggest you post asking for help with that. @AlbusAngelus did a lot of work on play services/store and may be able to help you.

Ok thanks, since everything besides the playstore is working now and vire launcher stable yet again, I'll make another post about rolling back to the older services, if you remember anything else that can help feel free to share, otherwise thanks for the information.
Edit Virelauncher is dead again after trying to boot Digimon Heroes which used to play just fine, might also be related to the store like you said... now I have to wait for vire launcher to fix it self all over again, until it fixed itself, I would also love to know how to change from vire launcher to Nova Launcher since I hear it's very recommended.

Still having no luck with finding someone who knows how to rollback to a working gapps without breaking more/bricking, however I believe I can indeed confirm that it seems that Google Play store or Google Services is causing the Vire Launcher crash loop, during a crash loop I force stopped both and then Vire Launcer was able to stop crash looping and run again.
Install TWRP with Flashify (bypassing Play Store)

OK. I used Flashify on another device and can tell you how to install TWRP so you can update to 4.5.4, if you want to try. There's always risk. You decide.
1. Get the apk for Flashify, sideload to Fire and install it. (Sideload. Don't try to use play store, right?)
2. Go to bibikalka's root page and download the attachment. (This is JMZ's TWRP img, "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.6.0-ariel.img". You can thank him here).
3. Move or copy twrp img to download folder on tablet.
4. Disconnect from computer.
5. On tablet, open Flashify and give it SuperUser access when prompted. It probably will also prompt to apply loki patch for Kitkat. Say yes.
6. Select "Recovery Image" and select "Choose a File." Navigate to where you put the twrp img file and select it.
7. Flashify will ask if you are sure you want to do this. If you are, select "Yup!" and it should do the install. Exit Flashify (or it may offer to reboot. Don't remember.)
8. Reboot to recovery and see if TWRP is displayed: Power off tablet. Then hold down power and volume-up at same time until you see “Amazon” and then let go.
- If you see TWRP, press "reboot" and then "system." Now you can follow bibikalka's instructions to update and install Gapps. Let me know if you need step-by-step.
- If you get stock recovery screen ("reboot" and "factory reset"), TWRP didn't install. Press reboot and confirm you can get back into Fire.
- If you just boot back into Fire, you didn't power off first.
Good luck. Keep me posted.

This probably should have been an edit but this way you'll get notified, I was able to follow those steps and TWRP appears to be working! I haven't attempted the update process yet since I want to be thorough so if you want to post some step by steps that are clear and precise I'd be in your debt yet again.

Oh, great! You will love how nicely Gapps works on 4.5.4. (Thank you @bibikalka!)
[EDIT2 - September 26, 2015] These steps and the post that links to them are essentially obsolete. If you want to stay on OS 4, follow bibikalka's recommendation in linked post to update to OS 4.5.5.
[EDIT1] This was written for someone with non-working Play Store and ES File Explorer installed. It's now been edited for people who get here from bibikalka's "Upgrade to 4.5.4 and keep TWRP and root" guide and don't have Gapps installed yet.
These are bibikalka's instructions from [upgrade guide] but without b's edits and with a little more detail. This doesn't wipe /data so your apps should all be fine, just finally work.
Install JMZ's Fire tool.
Download the following to Fire's Download folder (or download to computer and copy to Download folder).
- 4.5.4 update zip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5VDSXB6iXSmTEQ3cnljNzJhZk0/view?usp=sharing
- Chainfire's SuperSU update zip: https://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
- Pico GAPPS for KitKat: http://www.androidrootz.com/2015/03/download-android-44x-kitkat-pa-gapps.html
Turn off wifi.
[*]Look for the following files in /data/app and delete them if found:
- com.android.vending-1.apk
- com.android.vending-2.apk
- com.google.android.gms-1.apk
- com.google.android.gms-2.apk
Boot to TWRP: (a) Power off tablet. (b) Hold down power and volume-up buttons at same time until you see “Amazon,” then release.
Install the 4.5.4 update: (a) Tap Install, (b) navigate to Download folder if needed, (c) tap the zip (twrp_ready_update-kindle . . .) and swipe "swipe to confirm flash."
Note: If you don't see the zips, use button at lower-right to toggle between Zips and Images
Tap Home and install the SuperSU update zip.
Tap Reboot system.
[You'll see an updating message and it will take awhile.]
Boot to TWRP and (a) install the GAPPS zip, (b) wipe cache/dalvik and (c) reboot system.
[Another updating message.]
Open terminal/CMD window and enter following commands (prevents updates from installing):
adb shell
su
pm block com.amazon.otaverifier
If your Fire HD has lockscreen ads that you previously blocked, turn screen off and on a couple times and confirm ads are still gone. If they are back, enter these commands while still in su (note: There is no space in "Service" at the end of the command. It just seems to display that way):
pm disable com.amazon.kindle.kso/com.amazon.kindle.kso.lockscreen.LockscreenUpdateService
adb reboot
Turn on wifi.
Open Play Store and sign in. If you are prompted to update store and/or services, say yes.
Now open Play Store and sign in. (You'll be prompted to update store and/or services. Say yes.) Everything should work now!

Open JMZ's Fire tool, go to the "System" tab and disable OTAs and Amazon launcher. (Do not install gapps.)
Turn on wifi.
If your Fire HD has lockscreen ads that you previously blocked, turn screen off and on a couple times and confirm ads are still gone. If they are back, do one of the following:
- Give these commands from terminal emulator app on the Fire:

Hi, may be a stupid question. But how to install TWRP?
I tried, sideloaded apk but TWRP manager does not run (7.5.1.3).
So I tried to flash from fast boot, but nothing for this error "FAILED (remote: flashing not allowed for locked hw)".
Any help?
Thank' for your post.

OK, I found solution myself. AS also posted in forum, I used Flashify apk (sideloaded) and installa TWRP shared by @bibikalka!. Thank's to all for your work.
This is all great but @bibikalka's 4.5.4 custom file is getting a 429 error at dropbox. Is there a mirror somewhere, or should I just keep trying? Thanks to you both for putting this together, very helpful!

Yeah, I actually found a mirror in the other thread and was running with it, but I'm having a few issues. Silk doesn't work at all, and a recently purchased Kindle book isn't showing in my cloud library. Although old books are there and can download, the purchase from yesterday will not. Maybe related to silk issue? I'll wait for your new mirror and reinstall. Thanks.

My zip is per Bibikalka's original instructions. Bibi deleted a few more apps in the first file you downloaded, so my zip is slightly larger and there is less room in /system. Still, the pico gapps fits.
Please let me know if this fixes silk and books. Thanks.

Well, it fixed silk (kind of). However, whenever I boot it keeps returning me to the "welcome" Please select your language screen... over and over and over. Ha. Something else need enabled to get this to go away?
I was able to access silk in between one of these loops and it appeared to work.
EDIT: I should probably clarify that I'm not really interested in any custom launcher. The stock Kindle launcher is different from my other android tablets and I don't mind it. I just am trying to get access to the play store with GAPPS and the stock stuff be stable (especially Instant Video). Seems like this is close to happening.

Sorry to hear it. I've seen a few posts about this. Here's a solution:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61941315&postcount=45

You'll probably find that some or many Google apps don't work from stock launcher, while most things Amazon, including books and video work fine from a custom launcher. But first lets finish getting you set up. Please post back after following steps in link. Take it slowly if unsure and let me know if questions.
That's it, I can't install an app (cytus) from the .apk.
If I download it from the google play I can play and every thing else is ok. but I need to use Lucky patcher too unlock things
BUT, the real problem is that I can't install any version of this apk. (I guess when I was reinstalling it from titanium backup it broke some thing, I don't know)
Additional information:
I've already installed it once; I do have space on my phone; I've reinstalled the ROM and even changed to another one but all them are Lollipop 5.1

Lucky patcher is considered warez on XDA and shouldn't be discussed.
Regarding the rest of your question, it sounds like remnants of the app in question are present, therefore resulting in your play store error. Use a file manager to explore your data and system/data folders to see if you can find anything. If you do, delete it and try again.

Hi, I've already did that. Explored the system and trying find something related to the game but I did a full wipe on my phone and there's nothing left(I guess).
I'm able to download it from google play and play the game as usual but I can't install from the apk. And the same APK can be installed on very other phones
Any other tips?
Some one can help please?
Sorry to post for the 3rd time but I'm still having this issue
Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it
