LeapFrog Epic root and Play Store

[sicuchy]

i tried but download fails every time.
i don;t know why, i downloaded the amazon app no problem but when i got to the website to download the pollywob app it stalls forever and the eventuallly tells me that download fail, i side loaded it in to the tablets memory but the apk is gray and can't be clicked on, i dont know what i am doing wrong.

do i go to the website of the polllywob apk and donload it from there or is there a way to downloaded someplace else?

Go to Parents Menu and check if your version is 1.7.18. IIRC Epics that come with said firmware have what I believe is a bug that LeapFrog somehow did not even bother addressing, likely as parents may have just trashed their kids' tablets thinking they're toast.

I factory reset the tablet and when everything came back online it did an updated and a patch.pollywob apk was downloaded and working.
I'll be rooting this baby in the morning

Thanks, I'll see where i get stuck next, what method of rooting you recommend better?

Glad thing you got that one to work. As of now I don't recommend rooting the Epic as Magisk is a bit of a pain to deal with in this case. What I mostly do is install NewPipe for an unrestricted YouTube experience.
