Android - error retrieving information from server df-dferh-01

Google Play Store: error retrieving information from server df-dferh-01

I have an Amaze 7 Android tablet. It is an old tablet with Android 4.1.1. The Hongkong based manufacturers of this tablet have vanished, and there are no updates for years. Most of the time it freezes. I tried lots of suggested solutions.  Even tried to flash a custom ROM. But there is no custom ROM for this tablet. 

Recently I did a Factory Reset on this tablet. Then When I tried to use Google Play Store to install new apps, the above error popped up. So I searched the internet by googling & bing-ing.  

If you search the internet for a solution for this error, you see the following type of answers. There are so many articles that explain the same.

Clear cache and data from Play Store:

1. Open the device Settings app Settings.

2. Tap Apps & notifications and later See all applications.

3. Scroll down and tap Google Play Store Google Play.

4. Tap Storage and later Clear cache.

5. Then tap Clear data.

6. Re-open the Play Store and start the download again.

Restart your device:

After clearing the cache and data from the Play Store, if you still can't download apps, restart the device.

1. Press & Hold down the Power button until the menu appears.

2. Tap Power Off or Restart if this is an option.

3. If necessary, press and hold the power button until the device turns on again.

Reference Google Play Help

Uninstall Google Play Updates

You will find this in most other articles and YouTube videos.  
In my case, I do not have any updates since I reset the device to factory settings.


Reset your Google Account

You will find this in most other articles and YouTube videos. 

Update Android OS

You will find this in most other articles and YouTube videos.  
In my case, since the manufacturers are nowhere to find there were no OS updates are available.

But none of those worked for me, I couldn't install any app since the Google Play Store is not working. So I figured out how to install manually as a developer account enabled.   

Update Google Play Store Manually


Luckily I found there are 2 sites that provide Google Play Store APK downloads.

First I tried Apkpure and it didn't go smoothly since it need to install another app before installing Google Play Store. 

So I tried the APKMirror. And it worked without any issue. I didn't install the latest update instead I used the latest matching update for Android 4.1.x. All I have done is downloaded directly from the browser on the tablet. and then installed by double-clicking the file.

The good thing is after installing and several minutes later it automatically found updates for other Apps as well.

How to change password length requirement in Umbraco

Change the password length requirement in Umbraco This solution will work with Umbraco 8.xx versions. Previous or newer versions may need some additional or fewer changes.  In Umbraco default password length is 10, and need to provide a valid email address for the user name.   If you are developing or designing a website using Umbraco and testing it you may need to shorten the password length or use a short username in your development website to save time. (NOT in the production site) Changing default password length in a new installation This method is for a fresh Umbraco installation. For an existing installation, there is some extra work to do. I will discuss it later. Lots of people have an issue with changing the configuration to suit this requirement.  First, we will look at the issue.
