Hello friend - please forgive any ignorance exhibited in my question.*
I received as a gift a Chinese version of Moto Z Play model xt1635-03 very cool phone. This is unlocked/dual SIM. I can choose English at setup, however none of the standard Android apps are present -- not even Play Store. I tried (and failed) to use a Chinese-language Lenovo app store to setup Play Store. Essentially this is a brick to me.*
Is there a way to solve? For example, can I root the device and install a standard version of Marshmallow? If so, would someone be kind enough to point me the right direction? I have a moderate amount of tech capability, but def not expert mode.
Again, sorry for rookie questions. Thank you

Hi,
I really hope there is someone who can help me with this question.
Just got my new Sony Xperia S. I live in the US, so I needed to buy it from Ebay.
It is an LT26i with android version 2.3.7 build number 6.0.A.3.62.
I have noticed that I do not have the link to install the PS store and PS pocket.. But more importantly, video unlimited and music unlimited is not pre-installed.
I tried factory resetting and also to repair phone using the PC companion (which re downloaded the phone's firmware and installed it.
However, still same issue.
Is there anone who has the same problem? Can it have to do with my carrier (ATT). Or has it to do with where the phone originally came from?
Will I need to load a new firmware onto the phone? Appreciate any help in where to get the necessary files.
Thanks much
Yes, SEN and PS Store are available based on where the device came from. If yours is not from Europe or the US, it is highly unlike that it'll be on your device. You'll need to flash to that region's firmware to have it available.
I think a lot of the Sony apps came with .67 as well, it might be that you just need to update it.
flash to .67 and it should be there...at least that's when it all showed up on my device.
monkey123-missing apps
You don't need to flash anything to get those apps.
The forum page with the .apk files for the playstation pocket and store is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545270
I'm in the USA with a Hong Kong purchased phone and I've been able to download and play playstation games just fine doing this.
As far as the music and video unlimited apps, you can download those directly from Google Play (formerly Android Market) on your phone.
Ps store SA
So it's said that South Africans won't have access to the ps store... Will there be a way to get it in SA with the games working should I flash the UK firmware or what?
hey guys just downloaded the PS pocket app and PS store aps´'s from here, just a question, where did you guys but your files and did you use an app to install them, like astro filemanneger or something like that ? thought I should ask ?

You tried all methods from the Web. Which methods have you tried?
I don't use this Meitu but I once used Xiaomi from China. There's no Google Play Store at all (maybe Chinese manufacturers hate Google Play? haha). I had to find Google Play or Google Installer from App Store but i don't know for sure if you can get the apps from your store. Another solution is that you have to find apk file from websites like Download apk file for free, then follow the instructions and hope Google Play Store could live in harmony with your phone. :highfive:
Hope it will help

No it can't. This is one of the things you have to look out for when buying devices from China. You get what you pay for.
Anyone have updates on this? There must be a way!

If you can find something that will root a knock off then you maybe lucky but without root there is no option. Really should have done more research before you bought a device that you might not be able to use. Mainly one from China.
I had the same problem with a blank screen when installing Google Playstore on a Xiaomi phone. I just updated the existent app using another app store named Aptoide. It worked for me, maybe you could try this one!
I'm guessing no one has found a solution? I'm interested in rooting for the Meitu M8.
hey..
as i know there is no root way for this device..?
Any luck for Meitu with google play?
I know this post with age... but still
Any luck for Meitu with google play?
Or any way to get around the google play for apps in google play that does not require google services/framework?
Cheers,
If your device is rooted . try flashing Gapps

Any root method for meitu? I recently bought meitu t8 no support here.
Hi Guys,
does anybody have a possibitlity to install Google Apps on the stock 5.1.1 Rom? I have tried, but they are crashing, the same is with the root version of this ROM. A from Vietnam has made a rooted rom with Google Apps (see youtube), but the links to the Google Cloud are down!
Das anybody have this ROM and can upload maybe?
Best regards

try this for play store:-
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1996995
I have tried by simply nothing is happening, if I start this app. The china Rom doesn't have any Google Play services also any google account! The Play services are crashing while and after installing until I unsinstall them. I'm using the phone in Germany, maybe it is something with that issue?
I accidentally bricked my h968 with wrong kdz. Now I need debrick image file for my h968 , can someone provide me file or link to it?

If you still have the H968 problem, talk to me, I ken help.

Ugh, I guess I should have been more careful before buying this phone. Anyone have luck getting Google Play to work on the H968 model?
And in the most extreme case, what would be the risk in trying to flash a rom from one of the other dual sim V10 models?
I bought chinese version of V10 thinking that I would easily root it and flash custom ROM, but it turned out to be impossible :/ If anyone happen to know a way to root, unlock bootloader or install gapps on this thing, don't hesitate to share it c:

I'm waiting for this tutorial too! Hope there's something to do! :/
You aren't likely to find your answer on XDA. There is no free method for unlocking the bootloader on Huawei phones (which might not be an issue on the Chinese version). There also is no simple way to manually flash firmware on Huawei phones because they don't want owners (or unscrupulous Chinese merchants) to modify the software.
You would probably need to rebrand your phone to run the international ROM on it and I don't know if rebranding is even possible on this phone--it wasn't on the P20 Pro.
You might want to contact Funky Huawei. It's not a free service but they might at least be able to tell you if running the global ROM on the Chinese hardware phone is possible.
If that isn't an option somebody said there was an unnoficial build of LOS for the M20P. You might be able to flash that which wouldn't be an ideal solution but it would give you access to most Google apps.
Only issue so far is WiFi calling missing on my Chinese version, Google map timeline can't working properly.
I can use okay Google, Google feeds etc...after deleted some related Chinese softwares.

Hello everyone,
Would anyone know if it is possible to download the overseas/international version rom/firmware for the Gome U9?
I recently purchased the phone with the international version and thought I might be able to root it and remove the default Google apps, but instead I`ve managed to install the original rom (chinese/english), which contains the Gome app store. I suppose I should have checked first what I was installing. Oh, well, no big deal.
Installing a custom recovery is proving a little difficult and I`m struggling to get the Google play store back in. It may not even be possible with this build, so if I could somehow restore it to the international version that will do for now. I`ve found the international version for the U7, but not for the U9. Shame LineageOS isn`t compatible or something else.
If there isn`t a solution, I guess I`ll just have to wait.
Thanks for any help you might be able to give me.
As a follow up I have used adb to install a few apps and that works fine. But when I install Google Play and Google Play Services, it just crashes on launch. So, something is causing GP to keep crashing. Once I figure that out I think I`ll be good to go.
