Note 4 with missing Google Play services - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] SM-G9008W - Need to get Google Play!!

Hi Guys
I bought a genuine Galaxy S5 in China (SM-G9008W) (baseband: G9008WZMU1ANEH)(Android 4.4.2)
Problem is, this specific model doesn't allow access to Google Play store, because the China government has a beef with Google. There is not even a 'Play Store", it is instead called "App Search", and it is 3rd party. Once google play store is downloaded, it cannot open.
Now I don't live in China (I live in Singapore), so it is not an internet problem. It is the OS the phone is running.
Does anyone know how I can access google (Play Store / GMAIL / etc...) services on this phone? I haven't been able to find a custom ROM for this model. Will any international version be compatible?
Someone please help me access GOOGLE!!!
anyone can help this one ? i also need to get Google play on this phone. Thank you.
need help with same problem, but firmware is 6.0

My first guess would be:
1. Install a custom recovery (i.e TWRP);
2. Root device;
3. Flash from custom recovery Google Apps (compatible with your Android version).

You are smiling what would mean that you are fine with this, then I am fine too
I wrote: "My first guess would be" and not: "I checked following solution" so I didn't guarantee you that it will work.
However some other things come to my mind which might help:
1. did you flash proper gapps?
2. did you wipe data/factory reset?
3. did you create google account?
4. Try with smaller versions of the gapps (for example pico or nano).

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!

Can't update google play services after restore to stock firmware !!!

I was on AryMod MM 6.0 v6 but GPS was a little problematic so I decided to go back to a stock rom. After a successful restore I couldn't access my google apps after update. I tried another stock firmware but got the same results. Older apks with .438 install correctly but the problem persists. I tried installing the latest apk from apkmirror but I get an error.
PS : after a google search I found a couple of note 3 owners (N9005) that have the same problem
Same problem here, cant update, got msg that my device is incompatibile.
I try 3 diffrents firmwares, 3 diffrent google accounts, cant use apps becouse it's says that i need to update google services, but google play store says it's incompatibile. Try to clear cache, data of play store and services, and no effect.
Same here.
Try to flash 4 files rom, with PIT file, and Phone Bootloader Update and Phone EFS Clear checked.
For me it worked, but every next rom update other than 4-file rom with EFS clear and problem comes back.

You need to download Play Services from apkmirror.

You are not alone with this problem. I made factory reset and saw this problem too. I think they (who ever it is) will fix this as soon as possible.
These apps must Be flashed in custom recovery ..search for gapps

Has there been an update on this issue? Is it fixed now?
I can try to flash stock rom back to see if it is fixed if no one else has tried.
This was a problem for everyone. Google Play Services was listed incompatible with the Note 3 on Google Play itself. Affected all Note 3 owners, regardless of Android version.
Most recent update to Google Play Services lists it as compatible again.
For me it auto updated. (And broke my GPS tracking along the way, but alas.)
my solution is to download services google play 9.4.52 and do not download the last version off all google applicatios like youtube chrome gdrive.
you downgrade the vertion antel you don't receve the error message
download from www . apkmirror . com

Worked like a charm on my
Rooted Galaxy NOTE 3 SM-N900
Official ROM, 5.0: N900BUEBOC3

Chinese bought S7 edge - trying to install Google play/services - on an sm-g9350

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

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)

Can't download messenger on note 4

Good Evening
I would like some advice regarding my note 4. I bought it second hand, as I've had 1 before, and I love the devices.
The issue i'm experiencing is that I can't install messenger, I have no problem installing any other apps, only messenger.
These are the things I've tried to rectify the problem
I've factory reset the device.
Cleared cache and data on both Playstore and google services.
Changed the playstore settings to UK.
Uninstalled and then tried reinstalling Messenger.
Tried installing it in safe mode.
Disabled Automatic restore of device.
Tried a different log in for playstore.
Tried downloading from a different app downloader service.
The phone is currently running android 5 Lollypop. (Could I upgrade this to another version? If so how would I go about doing this? explained in novice terms).
Would rooting the device help? (also how do I do this?).
I really would appreciate any advice that anyone could give regarding this matter.
Kind regards
Col
