So I bought a note 3 in china and I'm trying to add google apps to my phone... but I'm afraid I may have bricked it.
I rooted my phone and then I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2343580
Mainly these steps.
Read an article which suggested using "Root Explorer" to install ONLY the 5 apps below
OneTime Initializer.apk
GoogleLoginService.apk
Google Services Framework.apk
Setup Wizard.apk
Gmail.apk
directly into root\systems\apps folder
Now my phone is permanently stuck in setup wizard has stopped.... I can't even reset my phone to fix it.
Can anyone PLEASE help me? I have no idea what to do..
bump!
anyone?
Hi, did you ever get an answer/figure this out? I'm trying to install Gapps too on the same system (without using CWM or any other custom recoveries).

Im having a problem with my mytouch 4G. I rooted my phone the other day and all was going well, then I decided to delete some of the factory apps that I dont ever use. well.. Im guessing I deleted an app or apk. file that I needed, because now I cant change themes, when I click on "themes" it just gives me this error "Unable to find an activity to handle this action" I was thinking it might have to do with the "my modes.apk" but im a noobie at all of this so im really not to sure and im looking for help from the big dawgs.. lol... Here are some steps I have already tried taking. I tried restoring it by doing a system reset, well after doing so I realized I didnt do a backup ugh!! So.. I found the factory rom and tried flashing it so that it would install the apps. or apk. files that im missing... I thought that would be the easiest solution, just to start fresh. When I started I re-downloaded the terminal emulator so I that I could flash the factory rom, but now it wont give me "su" permissions it says "permission denied" again nothing! and noticed I didnt have the Superuser permission app. so I downloaded it off the market thinking maybe it would help but its just black like its not detecting anything. why? that this point I tried dropping the rom zip into the root and booting in reboot mode, I noticed it said wrong img. and didnt do nothing. Am doing something wrong? Other then this my phone works like a champ. Thats why I am asking if anybody can send me the "My Modes apk. file from there my touch 4G. PLZ!!! HELP!!! if you know what the heck is wrong.....these are the apk. files I deleted.

PLZ!!! HELP!! IF YOU CAN AND THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!
Yes, the my modes app controls your themes in stock rom so you need it if you want to switch themes.
If you flashed the TMOUS rom to fix the missing apps problem, you unfortunately unrooted your phone. That's why superuser app isn't responding. There is a nandroid of a stock install which would have been better to use as it wouldn't have undone root. That's too late, it sounds. You need to re-root after flashing TMOUS rom. All should be ok after that.

no.. I was still rooted after I deleted but I have fixed my problem. I was being dumb and wasnt installing the right superuser app. lol, so after doing so I got super user permissions and just flashed the phone back to the factory rom. thanks for the suggestion anyway.
Hi everybody.
Im customizing my Note 3 N9005 rooted with the latest firmware I7.
I made a mistake using ROM Toolbox Pro and i stopped the service Exchange. That made my email application not function so i lost both services.
I made a backup of both before i touch anything but when i try to reinstall them with the same ROM Toolbox Pro, the program says it cant do it. Also with Roote Explorer into that application (very usefull with lots of options).
I also made a copy of all the APK into my Exsdcard and put the two APK with and without the ODEX files and nothing. In security i disable the setting that will allow to install them but nothing works. I even restart the phone with various settings and nothing changes.
So weird that original stocks APK cant be installed back.
Their name are SecEmail_Japk and SecExchange.apk. I reasure that i have both safely backed up but i cant install them again.
I tried K-9 but im acustom to this email apk. I also read something about flashing them but i dont even know how to do that (and make it worst).
Any help with this??
Thank you
Hey XDA. This is my first post here so hopefully im doing this right. Anyways A week ago i notice my S4 couldnt download any apps from the play store, but instead of fixing it i just ignored it. After I finally wanted to fix it since i wanted to download a app. So i backed up my phone and then i Factory wiped my phone to see i can fix the problem. Well it didn't. Now i have no apps. My device is rooted and unfortunately i uninstalled Supersu by accident. I meant to unroot the device but instead pressed the "Re install button" (remember i cant connect to Google play store so i basically just uninstalled the app by accident) So now i have no root control, My device is still rooted, and i cant connect to the play store. Any help is appreciative really. I've Tried Factory reset, Clear data and cache on the google play store, I even tried re-installing the factory version of the Google play store. This is my first problem on my Galaxy s4 and this is my biggest problem i ever experienced on a cell phone. Please help!
Here is a picture of what i get when i try to sign in
To be honest I haven't ever had the message. Could someone else shed some light?

its work my samsung galaxy s4 i9500
Hello,
currently I am having a Galaxy S4 i9500 with the original chinese Android 4.2.2, which has been rooted. I've been trying to install the Google Playstore and been looking a long time on the internet to do so. When installing these Apps, I use the Root Explorer to put these files into system/apps, changing the permission to match the other apps (rw-r-r) and then i just reboot.
First of all i got myself the google login manager, google services Framework and of course the playstore itself. The Playstore works and the accountmanager aswell, i get to log into my google account and i can open up the playstore now, which previously always instantly closed, but now it says connection error, as the installation of the google services framework fails. I tried several files from different sites. And if the installation succeds google framework keeps on crashing. Also tried clearing cache, but pretty much senseless as it never worked and I never had it before on my Phone. So I also copied a working version of the framework from my old Galaxy S2 onto my S4, but still does not work. But until now i didn't get the framework to work on my Phone.
Do you have any idea how to get a working file? Or am I just installing it the wrong way? Are more files needed for installation of it? Thing is, if possible I would really like to keep my stock rom and not having to install a custom one. I was just wondering, how so many people got the playstore to work on their chinaphone with the tutorials given, but it just woen't work on mine..
Thank you for your help!
so my friend found a samsung galaxy express 3 from at & t and wanted me to set it up for him. so he gave it to me, first thing i did was factory reset it in recovery mode. Then problems started. I dont have the previous owners account so i need to bypass the google verification. But i have no idea how. ive tried the side sync method, the open with option never showed up. this phone doesn't have usb hosting so i cant use an otg cable. i tried the real term method, just an error when i put the codes. i tried the no computer methods, i can get into ultra power saving mode, but thats it. with the other no computer methods it comes down to restarting it, and when it comes back on theirs camera access but for me when i restart it its locked, but no camera or phone access. ive tried every option i could find and even tried installing a stock ROM, succeeded with the stock rom installation thinking it would remove the google verification but still didn't. does anybody have any ideas? i cant enable USB debugging. so i dont think i can root it and install a custom rom and disable it. at least i think. im new to this stuff so if anybody has suggestions for me then that would be great. Thank you in advance
Google frp bypass. Methods have changed, due to patching. You need to research the most current method. I used Rootjunky's method back in the fall of 2016. Worked like a charm. Consisted of a phony call through an emulator, triggered a request for contact storage, led to browser opening playstore for a vcard app. Download frp bypass app instead, viola!! Imho, too much work for that phone.
I managed to get into chrome. Now what?
So with a bunch of messing around I managed to get into chrome through the emergency call but I'm in chrome. Which is how most methods work is through chrome. U install an app then run it and ur able to bypass it pretty much. But I can't install any apks. When I download a file it ask if I wanna download it, then starts it but never prompts me when it's done so I can't open it and install it. If I redowbload the same file it lets me look at the downloaded files and I can even get to the SD card. But if I tap on anything that's not a folder it kicks me back to the browser. So how could I get on the Samsung store to get es file explorer or install apks? Any help would be great thanks
I've had success setting up a samsung account installing es file explorer, then putting the app needed on sd card or Bluetooth it via a settings app. Rootjunky has the apks. But yes the 911 loophole is there if you don't have a sim to do a realterm dialer method
