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
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)

Galaxy S6 Edge FRP Lock, OEM Unlock propably unchecked

So, my friend gave me his S6 Edge+ today and told me that he's stuck with the Google FRP. I tried downgrading to 6.0.1 as I did with my S7. Yet though his S6 seemed to be on the latest update from Samsung (Nougat+Security Patch).
Now when I try to flash via Odin, the phone gives me a "system rev. check fail device 1 binary 0" error and I have to reflash the latest Firmware.
What can I do?
Help would be apreciated.

This error is because you are trying to downgrade you need to flash latest firmware to fix your issue

I don't know how to bypass the Google FRP. I flashed the latest firmware already.

tell your friend to give the Google account password. The method to bypass frp is profit not allowed to be written here as it violates terms I think.

Probably you want to downgrade the bootlader. If the firmware is A310FXXU2**** you can't downgrade. If the firmware is A310FXXU3**** you can downgrade. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-a3-/SM-A310F/SER/download/A310FXXU3BQD2/132023/

You can downgrade a firmware is the firmware has U3 bootloader. For example A310FXXu3CQI2. If the firmware is A310FXXu2**** you can't downgrade.

Hello i have a samsung galaxy s9-g960f with binary 17 i think, odin says device 17 binary 2 (or whatever i want to flash). Is there any way to downgrade it to binary u2?

Samsung's downgrade lock is an insult to users. The blatant destruction of the device is a mockery of the user's intelligence and an abandonment of Samsung's reputation.

¿Method for downgrade Pie to Oreo?

Hi all
I am a guy from Spain and I am using Google translator, I hope all understand all me well.
I have an S8+ updated to Android Pie and after testing it several days I did not like it.
I tried to install Oreo using Odin but it gives me an error.
Searching for information, I found I can not do downgrade because of a binary boot number.
is there another method to install stock Oreo rom? Could it by root?
I never performed root, i'm noob.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks and best regards

Do you have the newest Odin version?
Have you ever tried it on another computer?
Have you ever tried it with a 4tlg.Firmware? (Download with SamFirm)

Hi.
Yes, the latest version of Odin: Odin3-v3.13.1
Yes, 1 pc with Windows 7 and another with Windows 10.
I've never tried a 4tlg.Firmware, I do not even know what it is.
As I commented in the messenge I read that odin can not be downgrade because it changes a binary number of the boot between Pie and Oreo ¿not? (or something like that happens).
Thank you very much for the reply.

In the firmware name you download the binary number ( bootloader version ) is the fifth (5) number from the right. In your case 4 is your binary number.
Eg: G955FXXS4CRLB - 4 is the binary(bootloader) number. You can only flash version 4 or higher not 3 or lower.
Download firmware from.sammobil or.updato
Eg: G955FXXS4CSB1 ( PHE ) is Oreo Feb release.
Don't know if your on carrier firmware or not?
Unzip downloaded firmware using 7zip,WinRAR or any zip program that supports lz4 compression ratio. There will be 5 files.
Note: It is recommended to a clean install when downgrading so do a backup first.
1. In Odin from the extracted files place:
BL in BL section
CP in CP section
AP in AP section
CSC in CSC section - use the CSC file not the Home CSC file. This will do a clean install same as a factory reset.Wait for Odin to load files
2. Put phone in download mode and connect to PC
3. When Odin see's the phone then hit the start button.
4. When finished phone should reboot then run through the setup and restore your backups.

It has worked! Yeah! It was as you explained.
The problem I had was that I was getting a firmware with the binary number 3 because it was the last one in SamMobile for the normal S8 + (SM-G955F), to download the one you put me in, I searched for the S8 + dual sim (SM- G955FD).
Updato has very slow downloads, three days to download the firmware.
¡I thank you very much for the help! Without you I would not have achieved it.

Hi bro.
Yes, all apps work correctly: Samsung Pay and samsung health perfectly and all the others.
My case is with Spain PHE firmware.
The Knox is 0 * 0, using official stock firmwares the Knox never rises.
After returning to Oreo, remember to freeze the software update process so that it does not search or update again to Pie. You have to do it by adb
If you continue with doubts, you ask me

And the files downloaded from Updato and Sanmobile are stock? I have S8 and want to downgrade from Pie to Oreo, I have G950FXXS5DSF1 bootloader 5, the oreo files are with bootloader 4 (not 100%), can I do this downgrade? or it will get bricked? knox tripped?

Hello.
I'm afraid you can not download the version because it's a 5 and Oreo only has up to 4.
Maybe I can install a version of Pie 4 and then download it to Oreo 4, but I'm not sure about it.

Use the U4 one

What I did is changing the indian stock firmware (3.1 Gb) to the Moroccan firmware (2.7 Gb) without root. Through Odin.
Apart from the Netflix app ( can be disabled) I didn't find any other bloatwares
I used adb's pm uninstall -k method to remove some built in mini system applications like Facebook manager, print services etc
Results = fully debloated without root access and without losing warranty or updates.

Thanks mate, i had problems trying to root, so after changing Csc , I decided that i will wait until they release the Android 10 on June 2020 (Samsung said that in the Samsung members App) I can't wait to experience OneUi 2 on this phone, then I will root inevitably ?
I'm so interested in lineage os too, I've used it before with good results, but unfortunately the A20 is not supported yet.
Have a great day
