Hello there!
So I purchased the strangest "Android Phone" I've ever owned in the form of an iPhone case. Some folks around here probably know about this but for those who don't:

It's essentially a phone within a case but minus the screen, camera and various other things. It "borrows" them from the iPhone itself. Anyway! As cool as that is (and I still think it's super cool in a geeky kind of way)... the issues I'm having are:
- I can't root this thing no matter what I try!
- I can't find the option within Developer Settings to enable ADB debug mode (I suspect either a build.prop value disabled it or I've got a modified settings app.)
- I can't get Play Store installed on the thing.
It's a straight from China device so it's tricky to setup and use but I've just about managed it for the most part. As I say - the main problem is I can't root it so I can't install Play Store (I've tried the "no root" options but they seem to force close and/or be unable to connect to google services despite the fact that the /system/etc/hosts file only has localhost in it.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I'm more than happy to tip anyone who manages to help me get this thing rooted or at least running Play Store in some other way!
Thanks!
