Problem with SM-G9280 (NEED HELP!)

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

had the same problem on marshmallow this is why i upgraded to 7.0 i thought it will fix it and why use pachage disabler??

I use package disabler to disable updates and stay on 6.0 . I feel 6.0 is more stable and quickcharges more cosistantly.

Then it might be hardware related. The only way to know is to reflash I will provide you links on how I downgraded and did not trigger knox.
First download Samsung drivers https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/galaxy-s7-edge-t-mobile
Next download odin I used this version http://stockroms.net/file/Tools/ODIN/Odin3_v3.10.6.zip
Last download Rom. This Untouched Rom will not trigger Knox. Worked for me no issues here.

Also you might wanna try to clear cache before and after flashing. To clear cache you hold Power+VolumeUp+Homebutton during bootup. then recovery will pop up there you clear cache.

How to check firmware/hardware integrity on Nokia 6 TA-1054?

Hi!
I just received my Nokia 6 TA-1054 yesterday. Unfortunately turning it on, it has a 7.1.1 on, with a patch from 2017-Nov-6. No update since.
Tried several method to get the OTA going, like factory resetting and wiping the google services framework cache after startup and checking. Tried VPNs different regions. Alao tried with and without simcards, before and after a factory reset. I did not tried an other carrier sim yet, but it did not get an update before I inserted my SIM so I'm not full of hope here.
My question is: Can I check if I have the original rom or had the shop installed some other firmware that would break the OTA?
Thanks for any suggestion, cheers!

Maybe I'm just thinking for myself here, but I figured if the device came with Play Store preinstalled, it ahould be some custom rom isn't it?
By the way Nokia support said the device should bbare an original ROM. They needed the IMEI1 to check. Can they know from the IMEI number alone?

Same problem

I have the same problem with my phone. I purchased it in China without knowing that it's a customized ROM. I want to receive OTA updates. Any suggestion?

Well, I sent mine back to the local vendor, because laws in Hungary allow me to do that, and puchased a gloval version from amazon.de.
The main reason to do this was that the china variant is not in the android one program.
As a solution, because global version started to roll out, if you can't switch the phone, I'd just wait until someone dumps their rom, and would try to flash that.

You could try flashing mena region firmware on your phone there is one for your phone in google drive folder use ost tool

SafetyNet CTS profile missmatch on official firmware

Hello there,
history of my device:
brand new s8 950F with XEH firmware
- flashed official oreo xeo
- flashed renovate-ice
- came back to official oreo xeo
im getting cts profile mismatch on official firmware, i know that knox is tripped after installing renovate-ice, but is that what causes the problem?
Google play displays device uncertified and safetynet fails on official, so i cant use google pay or even download netflix, i can use my native bank app and got no errors though., but it seems it has different security mechanisms which is not based on safetynet. On renovate-ice native bank app fails to connect to my debit card even when is added to magisk hide and safetynet passes.
I'd like to be able to use both apps: google pay and my native bank app.
Is there any solution to this?

Ok, nevermind, native bank app is now randomly working in renovate ice

How did you restore your phone?
I recommend to flash the whole and newest firmware for your s8 again. After flash, go directly to android system recovery and perform a factory reset...

Hi
I don't know what is your phone build number exactly but I suggest lineage 16 or 17.1 and you can find them from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development
but first of all , since you have Android 4.4.4 on your phone you should update it to 5.0.2 (The latest official stock rom for Grand Prime) .
