After a hard reset my whole ill not allow me to add my google account to my phone...it gives an error "Can't establish a reliable connection to the servers"
I have tried multiple solutions to no avail..Heres a list of what I tried already
1.Another hard reset..(same prob)
2.the youtube/gmail login trick(it let me login to gmail just fine but when trying to sign into youtube it does the same thing as adding my google account)
3.Changing vpn settings(my phone does not have this option under mobile networks setting)
4.Tried just using wifi(same prob)
5.tried using just 3g(same prob)
6.take out sim card and try with wifi only(phone dont use sim cards)
No clue what else to try

HELP!

[EDIT]FIXED!! Shortly after I posted this question I found forum post that helped me fix this annoying problem.

Please do it at your own risk.

How to do it:

1.- Root your device (of course)

2.- Editing the file

You will need a proper editor
On your device open your browser and go to: Total Commander - Android
Download and Install Total Commander for Android... and open it
OR DOWNLOAD BELOW

3.- Browse with Total Commander to root/etc
(hint: on the right side of the screen there's a shortcut to system folder.. look for etc/ and you will find it)
Long tap on "hosts" > edit file > Totalcmd-Editor

Open etc/hosts and edit the file. Just put # before 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com.

4.- SAVED

Edited file should look like this:

127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com

remember: based on my own observation it should be look like this:

127.0.0.1(just one space)localhost
#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com

5.- Turn OFF your device.

6. Reboot your device.

7. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.

Done!

Now you can connect to Google Play!
