My Galaxy Edge + does not have Google Services and Apps

So yesterday, i made the biggest mistake of buying a Galaxy Edge + (SM-G9280) from China, which of course does not have Google Services and Google Apps (didn't know before i bought it),. Even when i tried to Create my Google Account from Settings, to Sync my Calendar and Contact, Google Account was not there.
Now i searched around and Downloaded Gapps 5.1.1, but when i tried to install Google Services Framework it said "App Not Installed".
Now I am not the tech guru, and haven't played with phones before, and the phone really worth nothing to me without the google services.
Can anyone Pleaseeeeeeee help me fix this?
Thanks guys!!

Sorry but you might have purchased a fake, can you post a screenshot of your About screen (Settings > About device)

Edge plus don't have clone yet. Chinese version are very different for the restrictions of that country, maybe rooting but is not to much info for that model.

It is not a fake phone, in fact i purchased it from Samsung Store in Beijing. Rooting is not a solution here, i think chinese websites have talked about this, but unfortunately, i know no chinese.
Still waiting for your kind support.

What is phone model?
Did you try to flash another firmware for the same but model different country?

Problem with flyme account after changin ID of a chinese MX4 Pro to international

Hello everybody
I followed this guide [GUIDE] Transform your chinese MX4 Pro into International
I want to thank all those people who found and shared this tutorial.
Now I have an MX4 Pro almost perfectly transformed in an international one.
I said almost perfectly because now I have a problem with the flyme account. Initially the phone, sold as new on a internet shop, had flyme os version 4.5.7.1A on it. I created a new flyme account, logged in with it and rooted the phone. Then I changed the ID of the phone with that tutorial and all went well. Next step, I changed the firmware to version 5.1.11.0G successfully, erasing all data in the process.
BUT when I tried to login to the flyme account with the credentials that I had just created, the phone said that it was already connected with another flyme account.
So can I suppose that I have a phone with something like a cloned IMEI and that flyme accounts are not linked only to the IMEI or the serial number but also the “machine_type” variable? Or maybe the flyme system somehow sees that I am still logged in (since I didn’t log out before changing the ID and upgrading the firmware) and now it sees me as a different user?
I don’t care much about the flyme account. I am just wondering why a phone sold as new can be seen from the flyme system linked to another flyme account after changing from an A firmware to a G one. And what really worry me,from a privacy point of view, is it safe that my phone is linked to a flyme account that is not mine? Is it possible to safely remove all services linked to the flyme account?
BTW, I have not yet tried the restore the original ID and fimware because this phone is now my wife’s one and she barely lets me touch it…

i thought about doing the same thing, but the Note 7 uses an omc folder vs. csc on the Note FE. i wanted to play it safe so i cherry picked features from the AT&T csc used on the AT7T S8. i combined the cscfeature.xml and the cscfeature_network.xml in to one file named others.xml, which is what the Note FE uses. i backed up the stock others.xml and the customer.xml and copied my version of the others.xml and the customer.xml from AT&T csc to system/csc. i also extracted the SmartCallProvider folder from an S8 ROM and copied to the system/app folder. as always, you'll need to set the proper permissions on the copied folders and underlying files. i wouldn't recommend using my approach....don't know what issues might arise and i have a second device incase the FE has issues. just wanted to share my observations.
after making the above changes,
pressing 1 on the Samsung Dialer dialed my voicemail; since i use google voice, adding my number with the stock dialer didn't work
i can now access the call forwarding features and enter my google voice number
i know have the ability to identify unknown numbers - Caller ID and spam protection (although i don't know if it works)
and most importantly (for me), the "Places" tab is now available on the Samsung Dialer so i can search for places when i travel
the only thing that's not working is Voicemail notification for my primary number.

Is it doable without root

@iraqgsm, if you are asking if you can make changes similar to what i did (in post #3) without root, the answer is no you can't. root is required because you are making changes to files in the system partition.

Ah, that's too bad. I was about to ask if you got Samsung Pay working.

You can't use the CSC from Note 7 because they changed the way it works with the S8 TouchWiz which the FE has, although you can easily port the S8 or Note 8 CSC to the Note FE and should be able to use it no problems.

Any step by step guide and what available CSC options available

I know it's a long shot but being in Canada, hopefully someone can port S8 Canadian CSC codes or international.

With stock firmware gear VR doesn't work, I hope that some cook will find a simple way to figure out our Note FE as S8 changing CSC or other things..
