Rooted phone, accidentally uninstalled Play Store, and now stuck without it - OnePlus 6T Questions & Answers

Hi.
Yesterday, I unlocked the bootloader and rooted my OnePlus 6T. I accidentally completely uninstalled Google Play. I still have the GP Services, Music, and Video on my phone, but Google Play has been completely removed. I've tried reinstalling from multiple APK sources, but every time I try to install anything, it crashes. It does not ask for permissions either. I've tried wiping my phone multiple times, but it still hasn't appeared.
Any solutions would be greatly appreciated. I could try reinstalling the OS through the same tool I used to convert it from the T-Mobile version to international. If that is the solution, then I'd appreciate if you let me know.
Thanks so much.

Have you tried the Msmtool? https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6t/how-to/tool-6t-msmdownloadtool-v4-0-oos-9-0-5-t3867448
Since you already said you wiped multiple times, this tool should bring your phone back to fresh out of the box factory reset. You'll have to unlock the bootloader and root again if you go this route.
How did you remove the play store anyway? Some kind of app?

Alright, cool. Thanks, this is what I used to turn it from T-Mobile to international as mentioned. I'll do this when I get home.
And no I used a root file explorer, was trying to downgrade to previous version.

Hope it works for you , I believe it should be the easiest method. I think maybe using the same root explorer you can replace the play store, but there's some extra steps like settings permissions that I'm not all that familiar with so I'd just use the Msmtool if I was in your situation.

Maybe I'm oversimplifying things but what if you just downloaded the Play Store apk from Apk Mirror?

Oh sorry about that, I guess I read the OP a bit too fast.
Maybe try fastbooting the factory images before msm tool? Just thinking that way you could save your data from being wiped.

The best answer!!

I did the same thing and was trying to restore it with TiBackup. But it did not do anything and I tried restarting, and it went to boot loader. Anyway I can save my app data?

Are you on a custom rom or stock?
Go to settings-apps and clear cache/data, then force stop. Reboot & try again.
If that didn't work, go to settings-accounts-Google-click on the email thing-settings (top right)- remove account. Then re-add your account and try what was failing earlier.

Wow, easy! Wait a bit.
Are you rooted?
Have you changed anything that could have caused the play store to misbehave like that?
Check in the settings of the play store, which version is it?

Ok, let's try this then: download and install the Play Store apk again; this isn't dangerous and shouldn't do anything but over-write the Play Store, however, it's software. Just a warning.
Unless someone else comes with a solution, you might have to root & flash a factory image (= back to stock).

[Q] KitKat let me uninstall the Play Store app. Completely. What now..?!

So the OTA URL finally started being shared last night and I decided to take a few minutes this morning to sideload it. My Nexus 4 is locked and unrooted (the main reason I used to root other phones was that I wanted to have the latest version of Android and/or get rid of HTC Sense).
Anyway, after updating and playing around a bit I went to update some apps and found that the Play Store threw force close errors every time I tried. Knowing that I'd previously updated the store app from an apk I thought it might be related, so went to uninstall updates. However, the button read only 'Uninstall', not 'Uninstall updates' and as such the app was removed and no longer shows in the launcher or apps list in settings. I thought a simple reboot might kick things into action, but no luck there.
Now, I completely concede that I should have noticed this before I read it (long week, stupidity, etc), but this shouldn't really be something which the user is able to do. I think what's happened here is that the update script has removed the old version and skipped adding the new one into my system directory when it detected that the same version was already present. I've managed to reinstall the Play Store apk, but it's not functioning correctly, crashing whenever I go to install something.
All of which brings me to my main question: Where do I go from here?!
I assume I can't just re-sideload the update since I'm now on KRT16S. I'd prefer not to flash the factory image, since it's a bit of a pain having to redo everything, but if that's the only option then I guess I'll have to take it. Any other ideas?
Edit: I've also shared this on Google+ here. I'll update this thread with a solution if/when one comes.

You don’t, you only need a custom recovery, and I'm not even sure if that is required

Well I've not managed to solve this issue in the way I wanted, but got fed up with effectively no Play Store access on my phone and decided to go down the fastboot unlock and flash factory image route. Cheers for the suggestions though!

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled...

Unable to connect to the camera because it is being used by other apps or disabled due to security policies.
This is the error message I keep getting whenever launching my camera. I've tried factory reset but the error still persists. I can try and get a logcat but I'll be completely honest I've never done my own logcat before.
Any help appreciated, thanks for looking.
Does your camera work after a fresh reboot? Does it stop working after awhile? There might be a runaway app hogging your camera. Usual culprits are camera apps, face unlock and custom lockscreens.

Did you change anything in the build.prop?

I added the line to add navigation bar to phone (it doesn't work)
From my experience so far with the Axon 7, tweaking certain things on the build.prop crashes the phone. When I tried to make enable multi-windows by changing the "user" to "userdebug", it caused the same problem you were having. Nothing fixed it; not restarting, system wipe, changing the build.prop to its original setting... nothing. I simple had to restore my phone from a previous backup. Hopefully, you did do a clean backup of your device. If not, then that is a common rookie mistake. Sorry to break this down to you. I hope that this was helpful.
Only time I've seen this error, is when I downloaded a different camera from the Playstore and tried to open it the same time my stock camera was running in the background.
You don't have any other camera's installed or have an app that is open that uses your camera (like Snapchat, ect..)?
I'm sure you don't, but just throwing something out to try/check.
Just restore system from previous backup like B4oE said, if you did not make a backup just download one of the twrp backups uploaded by the users around the forums. make sure to download the correct version either b20 or b20_boot. what version are you on? did you root using tenfar + locked bootloader?
