My mistake, it had no extension. I tried " 127.0.0.1 localhost " (without final dot), checked the Play store, rebooted, checked again ; so I deleted it and checked and rebooted again to see, but I still had that "No connection" I then recreated a new file which I called "hosts" to replace the one I had deleted, in which I typed the code you just gave me (with a final dot AND without) : still nothing.

Yes, I scrupulously followed your instructions : did the factory reset with ADB (there was no "reset" button in "backup and reset" submenu, only "erase SD card" and "delete account") :
Code:
adb shell
adb wipe data
copied the three files and changed their permissions to rw- r-- r-- rebooted, I had the nice suprise to see the Play Store confirm it got my credentials and signed in my device (and I can see "new android device" in my Google account on my computer) but... I've got "no connection", although... I have : I can browse the web, etc...
Some posts suggest to use "recovery mode"...
Also, not sure it's worth mentioning, but I get this Google message, for instance when I grant access to SuperSu, proposing to keep an eye for me on possibly dangerous applications (agree/decline).
Just did a second "adb wipe data", and found out that there was now the "reset device" button. Nothing changed this second time, nor the third which I just performed using the proper reset button this time after deleting the three apps : they're back in system\app and my "hosts" file is just like I made it.
