Hello folks!
I recently purchased a Gionee Elife S7 GN-9006 from China. It does not let me install any google applications or the google play store.
From existing forums, I have learnt that to be able to install Play store , I need to root my phone and install from the appropriate Google APKs.
Could someone please let me know in brief detail, the steps to be taken to install Play Store?
Many thanks.
Cheers,
Vardhman

Root the device
Has anyone figured out how to root Gionee elife s7 ?
There are no tested methods available anywhere on the internet. :fingers-crossed:
I was able to root the divice by following this howto from chinese forum
but xda du not allow my to post link. It based on Kingoroot 129 and work at firt try. Send me pn and I'll try to send you the link.
Still I'm not able to get google services working. I use some provided gapps packages and install it.
But all 5-10 sec the google service stops / crash. Also I was not able to finish the registration process for an google account. (Message -> no connection , retry)
any idear for that?
hello gregor4711, I don´t know how send a pm, but I need make root and install gapps in my S7, can you help me?
thanks
Hi Thunder,
in the mainwhile I give up. i just install alternative store like aptide etc. but was not able to get google apps working at all.
You do not need root to install aptide, just go on webside and install from there.
More intresting I fund an youtube video from an indian guy that present / introduce a S7 with playstore on screen
Try to get in touche with him , but no succes. Would be great if he would do a copy of rom and we install and wipe data partition. That shoulld do the job.
But he did not answer. -youtube.com / watch?v=15ZzA0KaAY0
(Its not allowed to post links so pls clean link from unnessary charakters)
My asumtion is that Ginoee india delivers a rom ** with ** google apps. We should focus to get that rom.

Then I flashed a stock ROM downloaded from needrom, now there is no Google services, also Chinese language, so now I need gionee s7 Indian ROM, if anyone can provide it please help me

Why? You proof what we all estmated / hoped that there is an different rom version for India.
Ok, what we (you) need to do. Go to Gionee India webside and ask them for the stock room for I*N*D*I*A Elife S7. Ask them how to flash.
With this procedure you should get your phone back, working with Google gaps and the comunity will praise you for this rom.

Can you use iRoot from here:

Remove the space.
Hi altrin, Iroot is not a custom room, it is just a tool to root the existing rom. Not all versions of Elife S7 stock firmware are rootable.
xxlmetabo ask for changing language, as it will be done by custom rom, not by root.
Could you share the link of the website which gave you a successful method to root gionee elife s7

Sounds good. Once you have the new rom on the S7, we will found a way to do backup. I'll try to figure out and send post to you.
May be you can have a chat with the technican employee and ask him how he flash the rom.
Take a usb stick with you, maybe he can copy rom + tool on the usb stick. That would save a lot of work for us
Many thanks for your effort.

Hi,
to both of you @Itsmefreddo and @Menrix_AUT
You have two options.
Method 1
1) Since you said you bought it from china I think you might have Hiapp on your tablet.
Then you can just type playstore in search and install it.
2) I hope you have Huawei ID to login
if you don't have Huawei ID then you can register for free from this link
3) once you register. you can download play store from HiApp and install. You are set.
This is more safer method as you are downloading play store from a reliable source. Screenshots attached.
Method 2
1) open your browser and type www.aptoide.com
2) install the app and there are plenty of stores from where you can download and install apps. ( my store samavb.store.aptoide.com )
3) you can just type in google playstore in search and you can get it this way too.
I would personally recommend method 1 as it coming straight from Huawei and you will not have any compatibility issues.
and for firmware
1) After you install playstore, install an app called "firmware finder" - this is actually used for Huawei phones but I just checked and you can get firmwares for Huawei Mediapad M3 and tablets as well. This is a famous app suggested by other members of XDA so it is safe. (screenshot attached)
2) You just have to open the app after installing and it will automatically identify your model. If your tablet is LTE model then it will identify the firmwares corresponding to it. (screenshot attached)
3) Download the firmware
4) unpack
5) move to dload
6) Switch off the tablet then press volume up and down and power all together and then wait for the tablet to vibrate.
7) After that it will start installing.
But I would sincerely urge you not to do this now and please wait for Android Nougat. Once you get Nougat you will love this tablet even more. Don't do this unless you have problems with your current firmware.
Please remember, that firmware updates always come with the risk. I have enclosed screenshots for better understanding.
Hope this helps
Cheers!
?
thank you very much. for now this worked so well... and I will wait for Nougat
No neeed to do so
I bought my M3 from LightIntheBox.com, and they send it directly from China so they Sent me the Chinese Model with No Google Play Store Either.
I just installed the Google Play Store APK and now I have an official working Google Play Store.
http://www.androidapksfree.com/apk/google-play-store-apk-latest-version-download/
-
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
You can Download it Here.
I have also installed the 2017 firmware in Mediapad m3 with the Firmware Finder App, I did a full firmware rather than OTA and it Works perfect. But the Firmware it is still the Chinese version so you have to install the Google Play Store APK either way. But I have now the latest 2017 firmware installed in my M3
China version
Hi, I bought mine on a recent trip to China, easy enough to get play store installed and change the language over with the exception of the hiboard, this insists on keeping me in China and there is no way to change the region so all the news etc is all in Mandarin. If i update the firmware to the EU version for BTV-W09 will it update it or brick it?
China Version
Hey Lads,
Just got the M3 from China as well and I was wondering if I could flash a global rom in any way so that everything is in english and I can get all google services! Btw is Nougat out already? I am very new to all of this and if you could give a step by step guide i would sincerely appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!!!
@JTal yo bro did you manage to find a workaround and flash C100 onto the Chinese C233??
how do you know which firmware is the UK version and has no chinese in it?
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?

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)
Hi guys.I have a Samsung S7 Edge with stock fw Nougat.My S7 Edge is rooted.Unfortunately i cant install Google Phone app on my device.Why?Hw can i fix it?THX in advance
2 methods that I am aware of:
1. XDA Apps & Games forum has the patched apk available for download to be used on all devices though it is still version 14 but im sure Google Phone 15 apk will be in the thread for download soon enough:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
2.If you are rooted with Magisk install Google Framework module from its download section and you can install any Google app by fooling the play store you have Pixel/Nexus device
Hope that helps.
Many thx @woomera.I always use SuperSU by Chainfire.On stock fw Nougat 7.0...can i install Magisk?
Which version?Where can I find a guide step by step?THX again m8.
As the title says. I do have SOME information on how to root devices, and I know that one-tap rooters like Kingoroot and such are usually too good to be true.
I have looked around the internet and XDA website, but haven't found anything that would help me fully. I did find some info from XDA that requires you to use Magisk to know some information about your device before rooting it, but trying to install the current Magisk version to the tablet causes "There was a problem parsing this package.", which the tablet does when the version of the app cannot be run on the current version of my tablet (I assume, since same apk works fine with my phone, which has higher Android version)
Any help regarding this? By the way, the tablet's android version is the dreaded 4.4.4, and there are no Android or system updates through Settings.
