[ROOT][HOW TO] Install Google Play Noob Version - Reinstall After 10.2.6 Update

modmyphone,

Wow, thank you for the positive feedback, we are honored to have this medium to post our tutorials and general thoughts - if you ever require training or more detailed support please give us a call.

I guess you did not apply this script?

OK, so Google Play Store crashes after the 10.2.6 Amazon OTA update, correct? First, before we recommend what to do to fix the problem, be sure to apply the OTA Script after you get everything the way you like: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086450 - we were very careful to only disable OTA. Having said this, nothing else is effected, so after you apply the patch you Kindle you will notice the Kindle runs faster and has increased battery time.

Hmmm, I am a bit suspicious regarding Root, so let's do a manual inspection. Please open up Root Explorer or ES File Explorer and navigate to /system/app/ do you see Superuser.apk? Good, let check it's partner in /system/xbin/ do you see su? If yes, Root Checker Basic is telling you the truth. If not, you know, go here to Root the Kindle Fire 2: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2069117. OK, we have gotten this out of the way, next we need to fix Google Play Store. Since I am sure Amazon removed the Dependant services, let's replace the Network Services:

Play Step 1 Download GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk to your Desktop

Play Step 2 Using Windows Explorer move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from your desktop to /Kindle Drive/Download.

Play Step 3 Using ES File Explorer app, open ES File Explorer on your Kindle. Go to the Setting Menu on ES File Explorer. Choose Root Settings, Select all the options here. A Superuser window will Popup, be sure to click "Allow".

Play Step 4 Now on the Kindle Fire HD use ES File Explorer to move GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app. If there are old versions just over-right the old applications found.

Play Step 5 Next change the permissions on GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by long pressing each apk until you see an option window. Select Permissions and change all 3 apk permissions to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.

Play Step 6 Install all 3 apk's: GoogleServicesFramework.apk, AccountAndSyncSettings.apk and GoogleLoginService.apk by clicking on each on and choose Install. Ignore any install errors.

Play Step 7 Reboot the Kindle

After step 7, you are now back at your desktop. Let's try Google Play to see if the program (apk) is damaged. Go ahead and launch Google Play which you will find in /Apps - be sure you are on the Device and not the Cloud. Does Google Play launch? No, let's try to Reset the App. Let's have you pull down the upper status bar, select More+, next find Applications and next Installed Applications. Scroll down to Google - go ahead and click on all the Google Services, there may be up to 5 services total. Clear the Data on all services. Reboot. Try Google Play Store again, does it work? No, let's fix the rest of Google Play Store here:

Play Step 8 Download Vending.apk to /Kindle Drive/Download

Play Step 9 Using ES File Explorer app on the Fire. Move Vending.apk from /sdcard/Download to /system/app. If you find an old copy of Vending.apk, just over-right the old file. Next Using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer, change permissions set to Owner: Read-Write, Group: Read and Others: Read.

Play Step 10 Install Vending.apk

Play Step 11 Google Play should show up in your Kindle Fire HD Apps. Tap on it and follow the steps with sign-in and agreeing to the terms. This is an OLD Market so move on to Step 12

Play Step 12 Download Gplay3.8.17.apk to /Kindle Drive/Download

Play Step 13 Using ES File Explorer, go to /sdcard/Gplay3.8.17.apk select Gplay3.8.17.apk choose Install. This will upgrade the the android market to version 3.8.17 Google Play market.

Play Step 14 Download Phonesky.apk to /Kindle Drive/Download

Play Step 15 Using ES File Explorer, go to /sdcard/Phonesky.apk select Phonesky.apk choose Install. This will upgrade the the android market to version 3.10.10 Google Play market.

Play Step 16 Reboot the Kindle Fire.

So how about now, does Google Play Store Launch now? If no I will begin to growl:p
