[Q] galaxy s5 I9006v (china), how to install google app

Is there a cwm recovery for I9006v ?
I bought in china, by the time I realise there is no Google app install. How do I get gapps?

Just search for Google play store apk and install it.
Make sure in security you allow unknown sources.

The google play store apk won't just install like most apps, it will just crash or stop working, this problem has been mention in other threads for other samsung phones from china and since this forum is international and most users are using the US, UK or international version phone, a custom rom may be hard to get by, you will get a better chance by searching through some of the chinese community forum.
good luck.

Hey, I'm thinking about buying the G9006v too. Will I be able to root and install a custom firmware?
I saw another post where someone who had a G900i was able to install g900f firmware. I am unclear as to the G900 versions and their compatabilities with other versions' roms

Well, I decided to try, just bought the G9006V and will watch for updates to CWM that cover it. Also, I'll check out Chinese forums later this week and see what what I can find.

from what i found there is already a root for g9006v, in the chinese forum my chinese is kinda bad so couldnt much of it. I can give u the links if u want.

To anyone who is curious about checking out a Chinese forum for this phone:
http://bbs.gfan.com/forum-1443-1.html
You're required to register to see pictures and post replies to see links. Most of the ROOT methods look pretty much the same as what is going on here so far, so I guess they all trip knox. (I haven't figured out how important or unimportant that is ...)

I tried the following post:
http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html
and was able to use Odin to flash CWM and then get SuperSU. SuperSu said it disabled Knox, but when I checked (Vol-+Home+Pwr) knox has been tripped. Oh well.
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+Pwr not volume down.

G928-T help.

Buying this phone, I rooted it with what appears to be the wrong root file. Yet the website given said it would work. I cannot supply it, but I am now unable to use any mobile data without the phone automatically rebooting constantly. I can still use WiFi calling oddly. But I am COMPLETELY unable to turn data on and use it without the phone just shutting off instantly and rebooting. So I am wondering if it did hardware damage. If I unrooted it, would it help? What if I used an actual correct root file? I can't find one however and would like one. So briefly:
1. How can I fix this problem?
2. Is there a correct root file anywhere?
3. If that won't help, what is causing it to do this?
This is the T-Mobile version. I have already installed arter97's kernel and SuperStock ROM.

You need to find your devices Modem and flash that probably using Odin

SM-G530T1 Stock or Cutstom ROM

Okay, I have a Samsung Galaxy Prime with Metro PCS. I was just texting the other day and then my phone reset and I got a black screen saying Blocked by Binary FTP. So yes i made the mistake of bricking my phone and flashing the T-Mobiles SM-G530T firmware. I've looked everywhere for the Stock Rom but can't find it and not sure if there are any Customer Roms for this device. Can someone get me going in the right direction or am i best with just sendng it back to Samsung and letting them flash it?

same boat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/help/sm-g530t1-stock-firmware-kernel-t3236774

I have the fix 4 Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1
I have the firmware 4 MPCS Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1

give me Plissss I need them

HOW

Can I get link too please

I need that firmware also please send me the link as well

Here's the link with Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T/ T1 Stock rom flashed via Odin.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-core/development/odin-5-1-1-sm-g530t1-oh9-metropcs-t3280445
I know it says "Core Prime" but I assure you its the Grand Prime SM-G530T Stock. it's just a little typo.
It is the T-Mobile version but compatible with MetroPCS 100%. Metro PCS is under T-Mobile in the first place, pretty much the same thing except for the Start-Up & the apps. But it works! & the developer(s) that made the package did an amazing job!
If anyone needs further info feel free to contact me! I would be happy to assist in any way possible.

so i bought this phone about 3 months ago (SM-G530T1) and i bricked it 3 days after i bought it by installing busybox un-rooted. still not sure how that happened but that is not the point, the point is i flashed the only stock firmware i could find (at the time) and it just so happened to be a mis-marked T-mobile firmware package. i didn't let it bother me though and continued to gain root and flashed ShinySides [AOF8]. It worked like a charm! I was just running T-mobile FW on a MetroPCS phone and it just got confusing if you have to call costomer service lol. so i made sure it worked in every way and removed all the bloatware. the only problem i had was with the hotspot feature, it had a mind of its own and that got annoying but i dont really use it that often so i could live with that. the phone was a champ! so i went to find a recovery or twrp. i was looking and found TWRP 2.8.7.0...it was not for the SM-G530T1 but it sorta worked and when i say sorta i mean it does pretty much everything you want it to do except BACK UP FILES! Lol! (at least for me anyways) so i ran that with the T-Mobile software for a few months until lastnight... see I didnt know about the failure to back up my files issue so you have to understand that i fully expected the TWRP Backup files to work and last night when i went to restore one of the BUps it informed me that i had no OS anymore !! oh man i wanted to puke! Upon further inspection i realized that it was only backing up about 20% of my system only and i should have noticed but i didn't expect that and that is how we learn the difference between knowledge and wisdom right? OK so at that point i had a bricked phone (MY DAILY DRIVER i might add) and i was not to happy to lose all my personal info either, so i went back on XDA to see what i could do. i was very pleased to see that there was now a working MetroPCS Package compliments of TSAR3000 and I went to work. I flashed it via Oden and was happy to see the familiar MetrPCS logo again, but i needed to re-root it so i used the ShinySides [AOF8] just to see if it would worked with the metro Firmware and it did! it trips KNOX but i could care less cause i dont want that crap anyways and i get rid of it right away lol. I debated if i sould put this next part in the message but i decided i would because people should be weary of programs and roots applications and remember that this is the true reason we root and unlock our phones to begin with... so Im not a paranoid person by nature but i dont trust King root or any of those one click apps companies because of some article i read a while back about how the Chinese root apps and downloads could possibly contain spyware but i never found any truth to it but from what i do know about the Chinese government i dont take the chance but its my opinion and i like the good old fashion (though a little more involved) flashing of SuperSU or whatever you like. So yes if you want to use ShinySides root procedure do it cause it works with metro just fine. Good luck.

Put the file in AP slot and the metro pit file in the box marked pit and start. And in about 4 or 5 min your phone will reboot and the if you want root and recovery flash Mr Sunnyside's trap kernel AOF8 then after that flash recovery TWRP SM-G530H it's the one recovery I've been able to find that works.. Good luck

i wish someone would have been kind to me and gave me this little rundown when i started rooting my phones way back in the day. direct and to the point good job! anyways i hope there is no issues... i dont see why there would be since i have been running this exact recipe for 7 days and i must say its a rare moment in the phone modifying world when you can say "perfect" this is one of those times... now if we could only get some rom up in here it would really be awesome. hey i jus want to warn you about that TWRP your about to use. i know it to have bugs personally.... the main issue is that it doesnt back up your Data Boot Or recovery or Cache LOL, but everything else works fine so far. it will however back up about 20% of your system and shut of LOL (Basically just enough to add insult to injury) so my advice is use it cause its the best we have but BACKUP SOMEWHERE ELSE! just use the TWRP to flash or do the little weird TWRP things you gotta do K? Good luck!

SM-G530T1
I'm new to this forum. I've soft bricked my Grand Prime, flashed it, put a custom Rom on it and installed TWRP. What I'm trying to do is find the device tree specifically for this phone. If there isn't, how would I go ahead and build it from scratch?

Iso stock firmware for sm-g530a

I obtained root with king root app. Everything g was fine then I rebooted and came with a message stating "System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone. Please turn off and go to the nearest AT&T store for help."
I'm looking for a link for the stock firmware so I can flash with odin. Any type of help and advice would be awesome.
And a warning for all other users with the same phone, no to install king root on this device.

Same boat, any info helps.
After speaking with AT&T support via chat, and getting someone who knew what I was talking about, I was referred here, after being referred to sammobile which doesnt yet have the sm-g530a firmware, although I hope that will change soon.
Does anyone know of any custom rom or firmware that is compatible with this phone at all, I just need to be able to use my phone nothing fancy necessary, any information would be greatly appreciated., thanks.

I have the stock firmware
I have the stock firmware the thing is I don't know how to extract it I'd anyone knows how I'll do it and share it with you

I'm not sure if this will work but download Philz RECOVERY CWM flash thru Odin then back up your current rom which is stock then reboot phone go into files(I used es file Explorer) look for back up then hold on it and click share or simply extract it and put a link for download that's what I did with my friend phone but through SD card hope this works :7

Just had this problem. I used Odin to flash the stock kernel and I was back up and running.

Downloading G935A ROM files from a2phone.ir

Hi i bought a G935A off of ebay with a google account lock and when i got the phone and removed the google account i noticed the phone would restart randomly so i started searching for a ROM file so i could flash via odin but the only one i could find was G935AUCU1APB5 and when i tried to flash with odin along with pit file and without it i would get "Odin protocol version error" i figured the phone didn't want to downgrade so i started searching for the rom on my phone (G935AUCU2APD1) or something more recent (G935AUCS2APE1) my search took me to a site called a2phone.ir they seem to have all the ROM files for the G935A ( they wont allow me to post link ) but they charge for it my question is has anyone here ever paid for a premium account on this site and used any of there flash files i would like to know before i do something silly

Honestly as little information as I can find about it online I wouldn't chance it unless/until you get positive confirmation on here from a well established user or someone with evidence to show that it's legit. But that's just me. They may well be legit, but if you are doubtful enough to ask, that's a good enough reason (for me anyway) to not give them any banking information/money or try to put anything from them on your phone until you see enough on them to make you feel safe about it.

You need Odin 3.12 to flash any rom for s7 att. I used this site 's rom, no problem with it. I didn't find anywhere else to download so I have to pay this site. A bit expensive though

ATT firmware seems not released through official
channel so it is hard to find. I paid and downloaded it.
I could flash it in and got OTA. I paid using PayPal which is kind of safer.

Not a problem! Got it from Br3w3r who is also part of the team responsible for the S7 Edge root! Where he got it, I am unsure. I have had to use it once though, and I can verify it works. It doesn't appear to reset the flags that cause Samsung pay to stop working, but it'll bring your phone back from disaster.
