Welcome to Android Central! Android devices have to be certified by Google in order to be compatible with the Google Play Store, and unfortunately, not all devices are (especially ones directly from China). You can try downloading the latest Google Play Store .apk file directly onto your phone by going to this site on your phone browser: com.android.vending-4.5.10.apk | by Android Police for Generic Device. Download the .apk file, then swipe down your notifications and tap the downloaded file. Accept the install, and see if it works.

In that case, you're probably better off installing Amazon Appstore. Follow these steps:

1. Go to Settings>Security, and check "Unknown Sources."
2. In your phone's browser, go to amazon.com/amazonappstoreapp
3. Follow the instructions there to download.
4. Swipe down your notifications, then tap the Amazon Appstore download.
5. Agree to install, then open the Appstore and login with your Amazon account.

What about the physical buttons?
After installing that software I can no longer charge my mobile and the power button only works if I hold it for 10seconds to reset but I can not use it to close the screen or the vollume or anything!!!!
I went to the recovery mode and sadly I can not go up and down because the vollume are not working anymore!!! T_T

I'm not sure what's going on with your phone. Did the physical buttons start failing after trying to install the Google Play Store? Did the Play Store actually install? You said that you tried the file, but nothing. It would be very unusual for physical buttons and charging to fail after an attempt to install a legitimate Google app (the link I gave you was from Android Police, which is a reliable Android site).

At this point, it would be best to try a factory data reset. Assuming you can access the menus, go to Settings>Backup & Reset (or sometimes it's Settings>Privacy) and tap Factory Data Reset.

I tried the factory reset but the same thing.
Yes the software installed without any problem when I tried to open it it closed without any error message T_T


OK while I was talking to you, I held the power button for like 20seconds "it kept restarting after restarting etc.." now the buttons work O.O

I am sorry making nonsense...
I really have no idea how did I fix that...
Now if I only can get Play Store ;(

Ok, whew! If the Google Play Store doesn't work, then just uninstall it again (in Settings>Apps>All). I think you should just rely on other appstores like Amazon Appstore, or whatever came installed on your phone.

Where are you located? Another issue is that Google Play still isn't available in certain countries. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2843119?hl=en

If you search on Google, you'll find a number of solutions. There are a bunch of YouTube videos about it as well. None of the solutions is guaranteed to work.

How to install the Google Play Android Market app on a device that doesn't have / doesn't support it - YouTube

I finally got the Play Store and other Google services to install, but now when I try to open Play Store they say I should log in, so I entered my information and it takes like 3minutes then says:
Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.


What should I do now? >.<

EDIT: Nevermind the message I managed to sneakly log in "using Youtube App to log in then bam", but now when I open Play Store I get "No connection (Retry)" message...
How should I solve this...
Also when I go to settings then add acount > Google I get "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped".

I actually solved this problem but now I got a weird "really weird" problem...
When I try to download games "apps in general" are counted as large files "over 45MB" it asks me to confirm to only use Wifi only to download. When I proceed the app starts downloading. When I finally reach to the part the app is installing, I get this message: Could not be downloaded due to an error 911

I googled it and found there is a solution which is, to go to settings>apps> Google Play Store and clear data and force stop, but nothing worked :(


Help me please :3


I did not know it is not allowed to post my ID, but is there anyway to post my ID?
Thanks monitor :3

Sorry, what I had posted above is probably the best I can do. It's difficult for me to give any other solution, since I don't have direct experience with Android phones outside of the US.

Hi, sorry late answer, I have not been at home...
There is a link to download full Manual how to root and get multilanguage ROM. Googleplay is included.
Z5S 2.rar | Ulož.to
The fact is that I can not update to higher version 1.30, but with old, 1.22 version, I am satisfied.
Good luck
