Install Google Playstore on Pendo Pad 4.0 and rooting the device.

Coles selling the Pendo 7" Android Pad running Ice Cream Sandwich 4.03, however by default it does not come with Google Play Store. Rather it has the China "store" GetJar, which only have limited Apps available. In order to get the  Google Play store install on device. Firstly you have to root the device to gain root access.

1. Download unlockroot from :

www.unlockroot.com/

2. Connect the device to a windows PC, install and run the program. Make sure window machine has the necessary driver to access android pad.












 If device driver is not available. Download and install the driver from:
http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html

Make sure set the android device to USB Debugging mode to allow the unlockroot to root the device:

Enable the USB debugging mode from :
Setting -> Developer Options -> USB debugging


Click on Root to root the device.

After that, install the google play store by downloading it and transfer it to SD card put it on the device.

    Make sure you move the Google Service Framework and Google Playstore main APK back to the main directory for it to function properly.

    Fix for "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped."

    - Follow root instructions (uninstall play store)

    - Remove ES File Explorer bundled with device by using root manager (and anything else you don't want bundled)

    - Download and install a new copy of ES file Explorer
    http://www.papktop.com/tag/es-file-explorer-file-manager-apk

    - Copy the Framework and Play Store into system\app

    - Play Store will install automatically

How to update -grub from live-CD

 In order to update the grub configuration of the machine that you might be misconfigured and unable to boot up properly you could use live CD to boot into the machine, however, even if you are able to update the /etc/default/grub file, you will need to perform the "sudo update-grub" command to effect the change. if you are using Live CD to login, you need to perform the following steps: First mount the root directory in question for my case it is my /dev/sda so it is it will be /dev/sda2 as mostly sda1 is for the /boot/efi partition.
