Hi. First time poster, so please be gentle.
Following the recent 5.0.2 update, I've lost Google Play Services (or similar), so I'm tring to reinstall an up-to-date Gapps. I have a 1st Gen Nexus 7.
I've read up on the process, and am trying to do this via ADB sideload. The problem is, no matter which version of GApps I use (Micro, Nano, Pico etc) the ADB sideload ALWAYS fails when it has copied 47% of the zip to the device.
Please could someone shed some light on this, and offer a solution? Alternatively, can I manually copy the GApps apk's to the device and install those?
Thanks very much for any help.
S4 i9505 not rooting through any apps
Hi, I recently flashed cm12.1 on my S4 i9505 and its working fine.
I need a working GApps package, I tried flashing 2 PA GApps(mini and micro), updated version which is TK GApps(mini), and also cleared calvik cache before and after flashing them as some forums suggested, but none of them worked and all Google apps keep crashing as soon as I boot in CM even the keyboard.
The 2nd issue: My phone is not rooted anymore and I tried a couple of rooting android and windows apps but none seem to root my phone, fails everytime. The errors which I faced are below.
Framaroot: "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"
iRoot (android): "GT- i9505 No Root Permission"
iRoot (windows): "Device is connecting
eRoot (windows): Stuff written in chinese and no root button available as mentioned in different forums"
KingoRoot: "Root Strategy unavailable, just try it"
TowelRoot: Stuck on make it ra1n and after a while "towelroot stopped responding"
Root Checker: "Root checker has stopped working"
3rd Issue: I tried installing playstore apk till I get my GApps working, but it crashes everytime I open it, any solutions?
Thanks

1. Gapps: http://opengapps.org/
2. You cannot loose root acces on CM. It's impossible. You just need to activate it in developer settings and after that flash Supersu (optional). All the apps etc you tried is completely obsolete.
3. See post number 1.

Yes.
I would suggest performing a full wipe then flash CM and then the Gapps.
or you can try to just flash Supersu and your root will probably be back.

I tried your suggestion, did a full wipe and flashed CM successfully through TWRP, the flashed GApps successfully, and SuperSU also, but just before rebbot, TWRP asked for "fix root" and when i swiped for yes, the reboot brought me back to Samsung logo and never rebooted CM... waited for about 15 mins before pulling the battery out...
I tried to flash CM and a stock firmware through odin then and now it says "Firmware upgrade failed, try KIES...... " odin fails to flash anything and gives error "No PIT Partition", even if I try to flash PIT files (tries 4 different files for i9505), all failed....
now I can only access download mode and lost TWRP too...
help please!
Install a stock ROM through Download Mode. This will get you back to a working state. From there get TWRP and then install CM12.1. And this time around, follow instructions! At no point were you EVER told you had to fix root, and as you found out, fixing root removes root access.
Honestly mate I was on CM for a while with my i9505 intl before deciding to try something else. I recommend this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 . either the latest 5.1 or previous 5.0.1 release, they are both rock solid and there's great support for it too. They've even packaged cm addons as optional flash files.

Sorry forgot to mention it's a Google play edition so rest assured your gapps come included.

I used the xposed armv74 zip to install. It gives me an error "No space left on device" when I tried to flash it. After that it went into bootloop. I installed stock lollipop back LY48YM. Any help how to install it?
TIA

If that was the only error, it is simple to solve. It means that your system partition does not have sufficient space. So uninstall some unimportant Google stuff like maps, news stand, books etc and then install Xposed. Afterwards you can install the uninstalled Google Apps from Play Store, if you want.
Also check that you are installing the correct version of Xposed, SDK21 vs SDK22.
Im trying to install xposed too but it throws an error stating arm version is not compatible. Im on lollipop stock rom and kernel with root and unlocked bootloader.

I rooted my lg g2 at&t d800. And installed the Cyanogenmod 13. Then i tried to install the "gapps" (downloaded from opengapps.org) through Android System Recovery since the clockworkmod reovery wasnt opening up. How do i fix this? I tried installing the google apps seperatedly using apks. But it isnt working either. The "play services" i downloaded is crashing often. Playstore downloaded wasn't opening. No google apps is working. Please help me through this.

I got scammed by an online reseller and send a SM-A7000 with bloated adware when I ordered a SM-A700H. To get rid of the adware I flashed Samsung Official rom 5.0.2 but now I can't get gapps to work.
I have rooted the phone with the SM-A700H root recovery but moving the gapps that I got from Apkmirror to the systems\app folder just results in errors that google framework has stopped.
I don't have the skill to extract the framework from the SM-A700H 5.0.2 rom nor Port it to the SM-A7000.
If anyone with the skill can help it would be very very appreciated.
Ok I extracted the GoogleServicesFramework.apk from the SM-A700H and install that on the SM-A7000 but no success.

I don't normally reply to these posts when someone unnecessarily creates a voting thread I usually just ignore, so in future I suggest you create a standard post in Q&A.
You are probably having permissions issues due to the way you have installed GAPPS.
Install a proper GAPPS zip package via TWRP.
Some work better than others. PICO may work.
If you still get issues make sure that each app including all Google services has full permissions in app manager.
Thank you for the help. If I can get a TWRP recovery that works for this phone I would do that. But so far I have not been lucky. I have found several chinese sites that provided options but none seems to work. Or my translator is letting me down.
You don't need twrp. If you have root you can use flashfire.
