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.

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.

[EDIT Oct. 25] Here's what I did--cleaned up and corrected for bootloaders--to install the official 5.2.2 update (build date September, 2015) on myrooted tablet running Developers Preview, build date July, 2015.This is only for those who rooted and installed the dev preview before the upgrade/downgrade troubles. It let's you keep all your stuff.
Few important things:
If you don't reset/wipe in TWRP you can keep most of your stuff, including homescreen layout, play store and all apps. However . . .
Google framework, account manager, contact sync and calendar sync get deleted with the update.
I didn't flash Gapps and got bogus insufficient space error [130 Mb free] when I tried later. Restoring framework fixed everything, but it may be best to flash new Gapps (although that can cause problems when update doesn't completely wipe /system, like this one). Up to you.
Oct 26 Update: Based on reported "insufficient space" flashing Gapps--plus testing and researching contacts and calendar--I suggest not flashing Gapps but simply backing up Google services framework before you upgrade and restoring it after. The other google system apps that get deleted don't seem to be needed; if you want to sync Google contacts & calendar on the Fire you can add your google account(s) in Settings, same as on any Android. If you don't want Amazon's stock calendar or contacts, get another from the Play Store. I've updated the instructions to reflect this.
.
HDXposed module is no longer needed for working Play Store.
Xposed Framework: The update doesn't support the version we used with the July dev preview. You must either flash the latest version or flash the uninstaller if you don't want Xposed anymore.
Stock launcher now = com.amazon.firelauncher
Home key now defaults to stock launcher until you pm disable it. (No prompt anymore)
Backup Google Services Framework.
Turn off wifi (airplane mode) and plug in.
Download the zips:

Attached to bibikalka's lollipop post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950
Get latest SuperSU apk (?) Don't know if it's required, but I installed it.
- SuperSU 2.52 Beta: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/chainfire/supersu/supersu-2-52-android-apk-download/
Follow Step 1 of @bibikalka's guide to temporarily install TWRP and while in TWRP:
a. Flash the update
b. Flash Xposed (installer or uninstaller)
c. Flash 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip
d. Choose boot to recovery and install SuperSU when TWRP prompts you.
Confirm you're in recovery, then boot to system and press Exit at "Welcome to Fire OS 5!"
In OS, see if SuperSU is still managing root access. If it's not or you want to update, install the new SuperSU apk and update binaries.
(Wait to reboot unless you can't get su access at next step.)
Block OTA:
a. Disable dcp or otaverifier (whichever you prefer)
b. Rename system/priv-app/devicesoftwareota/devicesoftwareota.apk extension to apk_
Restore Google Services Framework and reboot.
Turn on wifi and sign in to playstore.
Thanks for the guide!

As far as I understand from my experience of going from unrooted september 5.2.2 to rooted 4.5.3 to rooted september 5.2.2, it should work fine if you go via that route.

This is only for rooted tablets. Follow the steps Hariiiii describes here. There are guides for what he did.
[How To] Upgrade Rooted Developers Preview to Official 5.2.2 Release
Finally i follow the turorial and i forgive flash 5.2.0 recovery and gapps and it works then i flash twrp again by adb and i did wipes and flash update, gapps, xposed and 5.2.0 recovery and i hard bricked my fire. Why?
I order a replacement. What i have to do to have fire os 5 final with root, play store and other launcher?
Thanks
You got bricked because you used a tutorial to root that said at the top, don't use/on hold. Maybe we'll have a new method when you get your replacement.
Could we possibly get a video tutorial on how to do this?
(May be easier for some.)
Ooh, I don't do video and doubt anyone will for this, but that would be kind. You can pm me with questions.
I'll see if I can do a video. However, can you add to the guide how to get to the rooted preview at the start of the guide. I bricked my kindle going from 5.0 or so to 4.5.3 up again to get here and bricked. Probably my bad but it would help if you provide some initial steps for those who just got their tablets. Btw my replacement comes in tomorrow do I'll see what I can do for the video if possible.
Nice guide!
I wonder if HDXposed is still needed to keep the PlayStore working. The clarity on installing GAPPS is kind of missing too

Think we have some confusion. I'll need to make this clearer: This guide is only for people who already have the rooted developer preview--people who did the downgrade/upgrade using the July build. There is no longer a way to use the developer preview to gain root; the latest version (September) ends up causing bricks, as you learned the hard way. Fortunately, it looks like the official 5.2.2 update that Amazon is now OTA distributing can be successfully used in the downgrade/upgrade operation. I'm sure guides for that will be out soon.
Then I'll look for a guide on that and go from there.
Thx for the replies.

Good feedback, thanks. HDXposed is indeed not needed, which of course means Xposed isn't required. If you don't install the new Xposed, though, I suspect the old, non-working one will stay on system even with factory reset. Your thoughts?
(Edit: NVM. Yes, they'll still have old Xposed, so will need new.)
Yeah, Gapps <sigh> It's such a personal thing. (Thinking about how to handle.)

I'm looking into this again. When you flashed "5.2.0 recovery" which zip did you use, 5.2.0_stock_recovery_only.zip or 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip? Thanks.
I flashed 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip
davigar, you got the developer preview in order to downgrade to OS 4.5.3 and root, is that right? If not, what OS were you on and how did you install it?
EDIT: @davigar Wait a minute--did you not root? Did you just use this tutorial to install the update and that's when you forgot recovery? This will make a difference. Thanks.
I upgrade my kindle to developer preview then i downgrade to 4.5.3, root and upgrade it to 5.2.2 developer with gapps. I followed the newbie friendly tutorial when i bought it. Sorry for my english [emoji16]

Just wondering if anyone was successful in installing xposed framework on the metro version of this phone and making it active? I have looked far and wide and after countless soft bricks and restores I admit defeat. As stated in the title my phone is the metro version of the grand prime android 5.1.1. I am running the trap kernel by Shinyside on this phone along with supersu.
I have followed many tutorials on several different versions of this phone and each one has ended in soft bricking the phone. When you search xposed SM-G530T1 it returns nothing but topics about stock firmware and xposed on the 530H. The only version that didn't soft brick is xposedinstaller 3.0 alpha, yet even after granting root privileges and rebooting I am still greeted with The latest version of Xposed is currently not active.
Edit: Solved using Wanams fix for samsung Link below for his steps to fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
Help me Please.
I have been going through this same problem but the other forum doesn't help as much I have the same phone a Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime SM-G530T1 rinning lollipop 5.1.1 the metro version. Um my rom is custom gwiz I think with a trap kernel l.. I had to install that through flash fire app. Because I can't seem to get CWM or TWRP working on my phone... can you let me know exactly what you did starting with rooting your phone to installing xposed ?:crying: :crying: :crying:

Well first I flashed the stock rom with odin waited for the phone to reboot then I set it up just like you would a new phone. Once it was completed I shut it down and put it back into download mode and flashed the trap kernel located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development/kernel-root-root-sm-g530t-5-1-1-t3203476
After that was done waited for the phone to reboot then flashed twrp from the g530h with odin . A forum search of TWRP-SMG530H will lead you to the file.
Once I gained root and flashed the recovery I needed to find out what type of cpu this phone was running so I installed droid info from the playstore. The system info shown ARMv7 so I went to the link in my original post and downloaded XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk but did not install it just yet. First I flashed the framework xposed-v85.1-sdk22-arm-custom-build-by-wanam-20160 with twrp. Once it was done I cleared cache and rebooted. It took the phone about seven mins to boot.
Then installed the apk gave it root permissions rebooted and thats it. Also Note that the twrp version used cant make backups because it was not intended for this phone but it will flash whats needed. After many, I and I mean many failed attempts this was the solution to my problem.
Ok
So you don't have a Custom ROM or is trap Kernel a custom rom... I'm still kind of new to this but I will try
Thank You
Thanks it's now working

You don't exactly need root to install google play.
Just a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM to install gapps.
The "most diffucult" thing is to install drivers on your PC. SP Flash Tool is pretty straightforward.
I've checked the .xml file and the lines which is described in the guides to fix this error does not exist, there is not kgagent.
I've installed a custom rom and opengapps, magisk, microg, supersu, all these flashed through twrp.

As a side note I've noticed that I'm having issues with installing magisk, which seemingly requires to be reinstalled if installing multiple things like microg, patcher, which throws error about android pie not being supported, etc. It says that the boot image incompatible or something. Also had issue with supersu saying that the binaries are or occupied by something else whilst inside the os. Trying to copy files in file manager (twrp) throws error 1.

2. Try flashing the base ROM with a base firmware that doesnt have any carrier like vodafone etc.

Are you saying that tartarus v.2 is a carrier dependant rom? Any suggestions of stable / bugless rom?
I've tried several, some sound issues, others soft brick/crash, and others thread topic.
