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.
I'm out of ideas here, sorry. For the factory reset I expected that to be an option in settings. On my T62 there is a Restore factory settings choice - I guess yours doesn't have that?

The Google message for dangerous apps is normal when installing an app outside of the Play store.

It seems like there may a problem with the version of the Play store for this device. The T62 is Android 4.2.2 - is yours only 4.2? Maybe that's the difference. I didn't order one of these because of the low resolution, but if you can't install the Play store I definitely don't want one.
