[Q] Get Google Play into Chinese Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) from Linux

Good day to you ladies and gentlemen. I will get straight to the point:
I recently purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 (GT-P5210) in China, and it comes with no Google Play.
I have tried installing the apks for Google Services Framework and Google Play, but as soon as I try to add my Google account (as requested by Google Play on first run), I get the "Unable to establish a reliable connection" to Google servers error. If I try to create an account from the settings panel, the settings program stops working. Google Services Framework also likes to crash seemingly at random.
I have tried getting a western firmware into it, but since I do not have a Windows box, and I haven't been able to get Odin to work on Virtual Box, no such luck. Heimdall doesn't seem to properly communicate with the tablet. Is there a way to do "Odin work" with adb and company?
So that's two questions, but what I would really like to ask is: what are my options? I just want my Google Play account on this beautiful tablet.
On a related note, how is the work on rooting the GT-P5210 coming along? Is there anything I can do to help? I have experience as a developer in general (not Android specific though), and I would be glad to help.
Thank you all for reading through this post
EDIT: I also couldn't find any custom recoveries for the Tab 3, are there none? That way I would be able to install a gapps .zip, maybe...

I finally solved this on my own. Anyone facing a similar situation, follow this and you will be signing in to google in no time: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44615378#post44615378

Galaxy Tab 3 from Chna
Hello tjohnman,
I also buyed last week a galaxy tab 3 10.1 here in china and have the same problem.
I have already rooted the tab and also found some how to´s for installing the google framework
and the app store for example
worlwideweb.androidpit.de/de/android/forum/thread/413743/Android-Market-Auf-X2-G
, but it works only more or less. Some of the google apps are running now but the most important
the google play store still didn´t run.
Maybe I only take the wrong software or I don´t know.
Can you tell me what exactly you have done to install the play store???
My Tab is:
GT-p5200
Android Vers. 4.2.2
Kernel 3.4.34-1216049
Has somebody a good idea or can tell me which software I have to use.
Thx for your hepl.

Solved the problem

Solved the problem by myself! But still is for me not clear how I can now which gapps-jb-xxx is the right one for my system.
Only with testing it was possible to find the solution.
Has anybody a good idea?

[Q] Alps H900 (Google says...)

Hi all!
I bought a china clone mobile phone.
It has body of s4 and camera of s5.
Specific device model is Step Fly (sf-) H900f , but google knows it as: Alps H900
Os Android 4.4.2, MTK6592, baseband: MOLY.WR8.W1315.MD.WG.MP.V35.P6, build: ALPS.KK1.MP1.V2.11
Well, my questions are:
- have yet anyone rooted il?
- and installed a custom rom instead of default one?
- can anyone publish/send me some helping links?
I've base Rom in chinese; an english one, downloaded from it's site, for changing the chinese one, but no instructions on how load it; so I found many post on how modify it, but with chinese I'm a little bit unsufficient...
I hope You can help me.
Thanks anyway!
Cheers...

Nothing is working.
She wants give to her little boy see videos and play something.
