SM-G9006V Google Play & Roms

*******************************************
AUGUST UPDATE
*******************************************
Most people are reporting that LiDroid is successful, I can confirm that it works well. I have occasionally encountered errors when installing apps from Play but they are not common or consistent. Note that when installing LiDroid the user may choose English for the language, but beware that the later Customer Service Customization menu selects the data network, thus if you live in China you should choose CHIN and not ENG at this menu. This second menu has no effect on the phones default language.

This post is about the G9006v which is the China Unicom version of the Galaxy S5. Here are links to a couple roms:
This is the official version:
Original Forum Post: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7402465-1-1.html
Download Link: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1d9VDc
password: ik2h
Note: Enter the password at the first screen. Then, use the grey button above the file, there will be a second dialogue box, again choose the grey button, not the blue one. The file will start downloading, if you're not in China it will be slow.
This is a rom that someone made based off Shohat's ROM, it includes Google Play Store:
Original Forum Post: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7398471-1-1.html
Download: http://pan.baidu.com/s/1eQknpXg
password: hmle
Note: Enter the password at the first screen. Then, use the grey button above the file, there will be a second dialogue box, again choose the grey button, not the blue one. I flashed this rom and it seems to work fine, but changed the model number of my phone to 900F, not sure why? Also, let the google play store update services and a few other files and afterwards it seems to work just fine

How to flash?
It is downloading in my mobile through a chines application but very slowly. After download this file where will it store? And how to i flash my sm g9006v?

You don't have to use the Baidu downloader, just press the GREY button BOTH times. =D
As far as how to flash, it's just like any other ROM. FYI, Shohat said he is working on making his version support the 6V so keep an eye out.

It is still working.
The first dialogue box, with a space to enter text, is for the password, though if you enter it once you won't have to subsequent times you visit the page.
If you're not in China, Baidu loads super slow. If it's too slow to download the 1GB file then you'll just have to wait for Shohat's rom next week. Should be better anyways. =D

Using this ROM should decrease the differences between the Chinese version and the "western" one, am I right?

Your question makes me think you might want to read a bit on what ROM is (don't worry, I don't reallly know either, but we can always learn more), but ultimately yes, this ROM contains some of the Google services not included in the China Unicom version.
Please be careful and understand that this a temporary fix, this ROM is a bit buggy. Keep an eye out for other XDA roms that will work for 9006V models. You will certainly want to flash something new later.

Nice job of putting it all together in one shot. Still haven't quite done it on my phone, but will be doing it soon. Maybe I'll wait for a ROM until the one you mention by Shohat comes along. Really would like if we could get some english developer love too. I know there are things available in chinese, those alone should have like 90% of the work done for those wanting to do a version for english.

I used this post:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html
BUT:
I think that the only thing that really helped me was having the drivers, which I got through the long way, by installing 豌豆荚 on my computer and it automatically installed drivers. Windows couldn't find them. I've seen the drivers on that forum listed above, so if you don't want to install that app (it is kinda annoying, but helps sideload APKs).
One other thing to note:
I also got really thrown off by one part of the above instructions, to enter CWM after you flash it with Odin you need to press Vol+ + Home + Power, not volume down.

I was NOT pulling the battery immediately after odin popped off the restart. pulled battery and usb and then booted directly into recovery and worked just fine. I am now in the CWM recovery... now if only I spoke chinese....

Ok.... for english speakers....
Once you are in CWM recovery after yanking the battery last second and loading recovery on the next boot cycle (or you have to do it all again)... You will be presented with options... crazy options... select the first one, then select the second option (it says some english about install-recovery.sh). This will disable the recovery script that keeps writing samsung's recovery over your fresh CWM. Then I chose the 2nd option again after that, thinking it meant something about rooting the phone. Not sure, but the phone rebooted and everything was fine. CWM still intact.
After that, I installed supersu as linked on the chinese website shown previously. you can see english for ZIP and from there see ext.storage or internal, just point to were you downloaded it and click through to install.
I downloaded a copy of gapps for 4.4.2 and did the same thing as I did for supersu and BAM.... now I have google play and it's working.... Finally the phone i was wanting it to be, at least until a fully english rom becomes available.

I must be missing something here. I finally downloaded this file from the second link, which is called 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip'.
I ran Odin v.3.09 to flash this ROM (just like any other ROM), and obviously it doesn't recognise this file, as it's a zip file. So I extracted it to a folder. However, all I get is a lot of folders such as 'data', 'META-INF', 'system', 'tmp', 'tools' and two files 'check_data_app' and 'romconfig.xml'.
Odin also doesn't recognise this, as it's looking for .tar or .md5 or .smd or .gz or .tgz file extensions.
I've tried renaming the original zip file to .tar.md5 but this doesn't work either.
Could you please explain further, or even step-by-step exactly how you are supposed to flash this ROM? What software do I actually need to flash it?

ROMs are .zip and installed via Recovery. You can use ODIN to put recovery on your phone. Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM), TWRP are both recoveries.
Once recovery is on your phone you can enter it using the volume+ / power / home keys.
If you're still unclear on this process just look at any of the roms in the dev sections, they all include a short how to for installing a rom from recovery.

Thanks ddxv, and sorry for being stupid - all my previous phones I simply flashed from within Windows using ODIN.
So step-by-step guide should be as below?
1. Download Clockwork Recovery Mod (CWM)
2. Download ODIN 3.09
3. Download 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' from your second link
4. Copy 'Samsung_S5_G9006V.zip' to a MicroSD card and place into phone.
5. Reboot phone into Download Mode
6. Start ODIN
7. Click on 'AP' (was 'PDA') and find CWM recovery file
8. click Start
9. Once finished, the 'Pass' message will be displayed.
10. Reboot into recovery mode
11. Choose Wipe Data/factory rest
12. Select install zip from SD card
13. Flash phone
14. Reboot

Usually people say you need to wipe data / factory reset, wipe dalvik cache and wipe (system?) cache.

My VyprVPNs connect but there isn't really any data sent afterwards. My StrongVPN account works occasionally. Neither are as good as on the computer. Make sure you're using PPTP, StrongVPN recommends unchecking the encryption as it's 'buggy' or something.
Also, Liantong/China Unicom in Beijing seems to constantly change connections, which naturally disconnects the VPN.

I've tried setting up both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec PSK connections, both fail immediately when trying to connect. The Astrill client app fails horribly. It's unable to link libraries ("libstlport_shared.so" is too small to be an ELF executable). It worked on the stock rom...

Yeah, the original rom this is based on was an older / original version of Shohat's rom.
There are now dozens of roms on the chinese sites, no doubt a fairshare are from xda, but probably less buggy than the one you chose

Yes i used the power+volume up button combination and it went in download mode, than the screen changed and showed "Firmware update" beneath it: "Do not unplug the USB connection until the prcess is complete." Is this the donwload mode?
The link with the recovery back to stock ROM seems complicated with lot of steps. Can i instead go for a google edition rom (such as EHNDROIX V) instead of the stock ROM at this stage?

Rooting worked, checked it afterwards with an root check app.
Also installed the AutoRec successfully with the apk file, i did run it after inszallation and everything. But i want to test it whether it is there, how can i check it? I held the power+down keys but its an white screen: "Factory hard reset" below it: "Permanently Erase user Data & Reset settings?" and below this: "Press power key to confirm, and any other key to cancel". Seems not like recovery with a lot of options touch buttons and things. How can i check for correct installation of the AutoRec?

Do you mean import your contacts to your device?

Hi,
Yes. When I go into the call function, there is no Google account for me to chose for importing and syncing my contact.

It seems to me,you must install all Google service package because It doesnt work in china(network).so they uninstall all Google service package.
First: you must download the package.
http://pan.baidu.com/s/1o6JoIT0
then you rename it in English.
Second: put them on your SD card.
Third: power off your phone,and then enter Recovery Mode(volume up+home+power key)
Fourth: select the ZIP file that you renamed It.
OK,PLZ waiting for install them!
Hope that will help you

Not what I did.
I did the CF-Auto root through ODIN,
then I did the recovery through ODIN (mine is the N9108v)
then flashed the GAPPS 4.4.* through that recovery.

you can use ODIN tool,and select the recovery in PDA.and then click the STARTbutton.before install it,your phone must enter into Download mode(volume down+home+power key!)

Trying to install GAPPS on SM-N9100
I have a Chinese Samsung SM-N9100 (Ver. 5.1.1). I have rooted it and I am getting an error when attempting to install "gapps-511-base-20160514-1-signed.zip" from recovery mode. The phone boots all the way back into a fully functional OS. Below is the error I am getting.
E: failed to verify the whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Any suggestions on where I should begin?

Can someone advise which firmware version this works with? I can't get it to work, it continues to brick. For what it's worth, I have rooted with Chainfire on OK6, but I have not been able to replace the boot loader with any of the TWRP or PHILZ recovery. And I still cannot get Google Play Services working properly - it has been sporadic, and sometimes the new play store will work, though other apps that rely on play services won't work at all (like Google Photos or even HBO Go).
I'm about to try updating to PB1 and doing Chainfire again...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/9q3v3s7qv00zjyt/G9280ZCU2AOJ9_G9280CHC2AOJ9_CHC.zip?dl=0
I uploaded the firmware version that worked for me in my dropbox. I hope it can help you- Tell me if it works.
Regards

Thanks - I think this is the last version that works with TWRP. I ended up having to un-tar the K6 firmware recovery re-tar and flash that by itself, then had to do a full wipe and flash the K6 back again. That at least has me to the original starting point, and I can use CF-Auto-Root to root and then try to install GAPPS. I had edited many of the CSC files and further deleted apps and files from the system and subfolders, which got me very close to running seamlessly, and then this... Luckily I backed up those edited files to use again.
I may try working with J9 so that I can use TWRP though - are there significant differences from J9 to K6?

Thanks - I downloaded the firmware file, can you tell me which Philz version you're using? The one I've found is the arter97-recovery-g928fcig-11.0-philz_touch_6.59.0.tar.md5 version. I also have g9280_root_5.1.1.tar file, arter97-kernel-g928fcig-3.6, 6.0 and 11.0 versions, and boot.img and recovery.img files of unknown origin (perhaps from the JuanC/mega file package?). I *think* that boot.img is the kernel file referenced in post #15 and the recovery.img file is the philz bootloader referenced. I have so many Gapps zips at this point I'm not sure which came with JuanC's package. I've also seen folks drop the three Google files into priv-apps, change the permissions, wipe dalvik and reboot. But so far I haven't been able to get any to run Google services without problems (usually the recurring "Google play services has stopped" failures).

Hey guys, im JuanC who actually posted the steps at #15 to root the G9280.
After a lot of people asked the same, please note that those steps only work for me with the OJ9 software, ive tried with OK6 and APB1 but none of those seem to work properly. Im still looking for the root file for the newest sofwares but sadly i coulnt find any by now. Ive got that root file from a chinese page, it is hard cause needed to translate every single post, so im doing the same almost once at week with any result.
Once i get a new one, i will let you all know it.

http://totallybasedreviews.com/root-g9280zcu2apb1-sm-g9280-sm-g9280-android-11518/

Android 6.0.1
Were you able to get this working with Android 6.0.1?
I installed the 6.0.1 firmware, then rooted with Odin. Then I installed TWRP, loaded the GAPP files from your post #15 onto the phone and then installed it via TWRP.
This worked for a view minutes, then Google Play service starts crashing.
Did you have any luck?

正常情况是可以的，
真的不行就把kernel换了

Well let's try two things
If your data is important to you try to install custom ROM via TWRP
And if not try to reset factory from TWRP
I don't think that you BRICKED! your phone
It only causes from flashing wrong model firmware
And I think the best way is install custom ROM(do a full wipe)(see completely clear tutorial videos to install it right)and after system booted you can install stock ROM again
---------- Post added at 05:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------
If all the things go wrong
At if your completely know that you BRICKED it(that I don't think) you can easily request debrick.img and install it from SD card
So be relax dude
It would be great experience for you to save your phone

I assume that you must have installed magisk module like app systemizer or any other like that to convert system app?
Just have to uninstall certain module from twrp using twrp file manager. Reboot it will boot.
OR
You can use read my thread in guide section " upgrade downgrade without losing data" i mentioned in detail and also some links to ready magisk patched firmwares.

New Weird ****
So Thank you so much for replying, It gave me hope , I went to a Fixit guy, He I HAVE TOTALLY NO IDEA What he did,
Since i couldnt reach Download Mode, I got him to fix it, now ...
I am running my phone. Everything looks good, The warning of root at the start disappeared and the software starts normally.
There is 1 issue. I am still unable to run samsung secure folder (type apps , i think its because i did once root the phone), Secondly.
I updated my Phone to the new Andriod version and it bricked again ? (got restored by the same guy again), So like , can someone tell me what might be causing this ?
Should i Enable Debug, Go download mode and Reinstall the Original Firmware that I patched before with magisk? like (I compared the Baseband version and Build Version of the new installed software its not same as my original phone ? Maybe this is causing it not to software update? )
I dunno The Sideefffects of once rooting the phone? I mean can i ever get the old default non rooted phone back? I hope you someone understands what im trying to ask ? Like Should i Default firmware it ? or just keep using it ? will i gain something? like Will i be able to update the software?
(NOTE: I dont need root anymore . Im done with it.)

Once rooted, secure folder will not work anymore. If you are using Android 9 then use custom ROM because there is fixes there for Secure Folder. If on Android 10 then forget about it and wait until dev fix.
And for other questions, it sounds like you are newbie and didn't know anything about it until now. I would suggest to read some article here, explore about some magisk that what its, Bootloader ... how to unlock Bootloader etc. Trust me one day you will become dev. Good Luck

What i am asking is, I think something is wrong. I cant use Netflix , It was working before (when rooted), So i want to know, Should i Use ODIN to Put my Original (UNPATCHED) Firmware in this phone?
And If i do agree to proceed, (My Boot loader is unlocked permanently btw in developer options),
I just have to put it on download, connect pc open odin add the original files and run it ? and when start wipe data and cache. is that is ? Am i missing something can you please confirm sir? and these files only right?
"AP, BL, CP and CSC (I also have HOME file should i also attach that?)
Can you recommend me a tutorial to follow via odin, Restoring my Original Firmware back ? In s10+ please? Ill be grateful to you.
