Hello to everyone,
I recently bought an SM-G9280, and didn't know at the moment that was a version from China.
Okay, the problem is that I can't get Play Store to work in any way.
I rooted the device, tried many google services APK's, installing gapps from opengapps (and could only install pico version because of the partition storage limit).
When I install pico version from gapps, I can't log in because always shows an error saying "You didn't sign up to use this phone" or something like that and then I have to flash the phone again with the stock rom (6.0.1 version).
Okay, what I've tried: Rooting, installing google services apk, tried a lot of versions (not all of them).
Installing gapps services using TWRP. (gets me to the error that I exposed already).
What I think it could work but need some help: Flashing it with the stock rom of SM-G9287 (which is hong kong s6 edge+, but I readed somewhere that it could work, also readed that we need something called PIT from the SM-G9280).
If you have the same device and you did actually install Play Store, please tell me how or the right way to do it.
Hope you can help me, I am from Venezuela and getting this kind of phone isn't cheap.
P.D: It is an official version of Samsung, not a copy.
Hope you can help me.
Listen i have a sugesstion cause i used to use chinese non xda roms on this device first of all do you have a recovery

Hi,
I have a Galaxy Note 4 which has Google Play Services Missing.
The handset has been rooted but cannot install Google Play services ZIP file, i think need CWM on the phone to do this but CWM is not available for Note 4.
Any other way to add Google Play services ?
Did you have the google apps installed before you rooted your device? Try flashing stock from the sammobile website, should install everything.
I also read TWRP is available for the note 4, GApps zipfile should be available somewhere already. (TWRP is only for the snapdragon though, don't know your model)

Hello, Note 4 was bought from china, hence no gapps on chinese android phones !
However the problem is solved now, TWRP is available for Tmobile which works with China firmware.
Gapps pushed using TWRP and problems solved.
Thanks for help.

Hi, I have the same problem. I brought a Note4 duos; model no. SM-N9100 from China. Kindly advice how to resolve this problem so as to be able to use google play store, youtube, etc. Thanks in advance.
Same problem here, I cannot seem to get TWRP working through Odin as well on my N9106w from China. I was able to root it no problem. GooManager cannot find a compatible ROM.
I rooted the phone then install twrp tmobile through Odin --> Result was as before. Still no google play etc. To those who got it to work, please advise.

Hi, I managed to resolve the problem. Just download app from below site and run but it is in Chinese.
http://soft.shouji.com.cn/down/26330.html
I downloaded from the link already but still doesn't work. When I open the google play store, it says no connection and I cannot search for any apps.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=315819327
Seems to be two threads for the same thing. I downloaded from the above link and installed v. 1.5. It then gave me a list to download so I chose the KitKat version which is about 44 megs. I then unzipped it and it expanded to many folders. I think the files in the folder are supposed to be moved to the similar folders on the phone. Possibly with adb? I am not sure.
From the translation, the link seems to be a crack for Gapps in China but I cannot translate on how to install it.
I bought a s6 edge+ dual sim in china.
n9280
i would oike to install google package.
is it possible ?
Thanks for the support.
What do you mean by a Google package? And as far as I know s6 edge plus varient models starts with sm-g928

SM-G9280 China Version does not have any google apps including google play as Chinese gov blocked google completely. I'm wondering how to install those google apps too.

Hey. Did you try to flash one of G.Apps package zips? If your device isn't rooted, you can download google services stuff from internet. I have a device which is brand China at the same situation as yours. I downloaded all google stuffs and use google things normally. You better try it some. Have a look at that:

Chinese here.
You must root your phone at first ,then you can install google package with TWRP.
Or you can just flash g9287 firmware that have google services.

Hi keures..
I have rooted and installed TWRP (although in chinese) and flashed Gapps 64bit which worked out quite well.
Do you know of a TWRP english version for the 9280?
Also, would like to try and flash the 9287 firmware, but do you know if anyone has been successful with that?
Thanks beforehand

SM-G9287 will require PIT file and re-partition the phone. You better make sure to have the PIT file for the SM-G9280 before you do that (use the IMEI etc app to generate the PIT - Dr. Ketan file). I have not flashed anything other than the 9280 FW plus chainfire auto-root, then manual customization. I uploaded the pit file by changing the extension to .doc. Download and change back to .pit.
I haven't been able to verify the PIT, and haven't seen anyone else post it, so use at your own risk!

Hi everyone, recently purchased a Chinese A7 SM-7000 and regret it, the phone is a good hardware piece, but the software is crappy, lot of Chinese bloatware, no more than three languages, and the best of all is there's no Google Apps, no Google play, so I need some help in maybe flashing another firmware, a (normal) one, or wathever to make this phone international, BTW I've rooted the stock rom under 5.0.2 but guess it won't help.

If the software is infected, I think you can flash another rom from SamMobile... But for your model there are only chinese firmwares... Maybe from there you can root, then check if your phone can use a firmware from another variation, maybe it can be done by skipping the baseband. Check with your provider if there is any subscription, and if there are any, cancel them... Doing this after a full flash on Odin must clean your device from trouble...
Sorry if my reply caused any trouble to you, it wasn't my intention... :crying:

I have that phone too. Running android 6.0.1 but no google apps are available on this phone because Samsung China's devices have a restriction that is that phones don't have Google. i have updated my device from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and then 6.0.1 one month ago.

I have SM-A7000 running Android marshmallow but it doesn't have any bloatware apps and have over 20 languages but it doesn't support Google because it's a chinese device variant and China has a restriction that is Google has been banned in china and the chinese firmwares doesn't support Google.

You can't flash other model firmware to SM-A7000, odin process will be failed or may cause instability to your device or may brick your phone.
Galaxy SM A7000
I have idea to install gapps
So I made the mistake of buying a galaxy s7 edge sm-g9350 in China and not in hongkong so did not get Google preinstalled.
I got the phone rooted in (in a local emarket) in the hope to install Google manually but I can't get the right google services version. It keeps saying "update Google play services". "Unfortunately Google play services has stopped working" "Google play services won't run until you update"
So I first installed an apk file for Google play, then installed numerous different versions of play services (because I have no idea how to find which one I actually need)
I note from helpful sites I need to look for letters and numbers from the existing services version to know which version I need....but I don't have a previous version. It never had Google.
So, please could someone advise me step by step...a novice to rooting and installing anything from any other place other than Google play... to get this working?
Device details:
Android : 6.0.1
Baseband : G9350ZCU2APK2
kernel : 3.18.20 [email protected] #1 sat Apr 2 13:06:36 CST 2016
Build no : MMB29M.G9350ZCU2APF7
SE status : permissive
Android security patch : 1 July 16
I would be most grateful for step by spell advice with links to where I can download the relevant apkfiles?
Many thanks.

Just flash an official rom of the G935U through Odin.
What is the link to?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply but I'm not sure what I'm looking at?
Is it a new ROM?
For which region?
Which version of Android?
Bear in mind I have a Chinese phone so all the core menus are still in Chinese (ie when you home/power and down - startup) it's all in chinese.
I have to take it to an emarket where some chap will flash it for me!
I'm actually just looking to add google framework/services.
Can you advise me which version of google framework/services to download?
What version is this?

Thanks for the reply,
What is G935U? is it the HongKong version?
I have G9350 phone.
Where can i get the official rom?
Check this website ' sammobile.com ' and then go tho firmware, write your model number and download the firmware you want, but don't forget to unlock the bootloader or you can brick the phone
The Samsung 935u is safe to flash it's universal so just flash it through Odin and your fine
What is this link for?
....opengapps.org....
I downloaded this, and thank you for the link. But could you tell me what it is? (I can't quote original link xda rules)
Is it just for google or is it a ROM to flash for the system?
I'm a novice and honestly I won't be doing the "flashing" i'll be going to an e-market to ask for help.
My Chinese is bad...and I need to understand what i'm asking for in order to ask for their help in getting google onto my phone.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks a lot.

Updato ,Google this... To download Rom
Also , you can try this... without flashing, this is Google service installer..(non official )
http://www.coolapk.com/apk/com.goplaycn.googleinstall
Use chrome to translate.... Chinese app...
Alright I just remembered that the chinese variants are on a different bootloader than the American variants so I don't think you can install the u firmware bt if you wanna try here is the link for 6.0.1 u firmware ://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-s7-edge/how-to/firmware-verizon-s7-edge-t3344092
Worse case if you try to flash it Odin will say no and no harm is done to the phone so in my opinion it would be much safer to unlock your bootloader and flash TWRP then the opengapps that was mentioned earlier(opengapps is what will give you the Google apps you need for the play store and all that fun stuff)
I have heard of a website called cect-shop, and they are selling this device with the option for an international firmware with Google Play Store. I saw this website on a review for this phone on another website, and the review said that it worked fine with no bugs. Just thought I'd check before I buy. Has anyone experienced this website before?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.
Beware: This is not official NUBIA international ROM!
I have bought the device from them.
Their international ROM is international and has Google apps in it, BUT it will not do OTA:
Unless they have changed the ROM (which I doubt) you are stuck at V2.39 and we already have
V3.09.
They told when asked that they would tell me when a "real" international will become available.
They would not take the phone back, since their rules only allow for this if the phone is bad.
So I have to admit that I feel fooled by them (all the other sellers do the same).
I have worked with the phone and have installed several other ROMs mentioned in this forum.
But am still waiting for a real international ROM.

Sorry, officially we are at V3.06!
So what does v3.06 have and v2.39 doesn't?
To be honest I do not know.
I assume it just 3 months "better", more stable, better translations, etc.
Thanks for the quick reply, what is the best way to install Google apps and also retain OTA updates?

1. Flash twrp
2. Flash official Rom
3. Install full gapps
4. Flash Standard recovery (to replace TWRP)
(to prevent reboot in into TWRP after an Ota update)
I have to admit I have not tried #4 myself
