[Q] Rooted phone and deleted google play NEED HELP!

I rooted my phone last night using poot and super user. I downloaded a modded google play from pirate bay thinking it was gonna give me free apps. i deleted the google play that was orginally on my phone now i can't get it back. i tried factory reset. i tried downloading a google play apk but everytime i open it after download is crashes. i want to unroot my phone but dont have a usb cord and dont have google play. what do i do?!?!?!

its ok
a lot of times roms do not have a google play apk but now here is what you can do .YOU can search the web ,and install google play 4.0.25 its the new one and it is downloadable as an apk file.JUST tipe downloadandroidrom in your browser and go to apk and then go to market, click on com.android.vending .If you have any problems installing it ,try use a file explorer.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.

superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,

If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.

Try this app as an alternative
Have u tried downloading 1 mobile apk its like Google play store try it

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Solution?
Any proper solution for this? Running on CM12.1.

Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure

Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...

[Possible FIX Need Testers]Google A/C wipe fix on leaked 4.3 Samsung Note II Roms

My Google account was being wiped out in front of my eyes almost every other time i rebooted. After some thread reading and trial and error I finally figured it out. Its been about 18 hours and over 15 reboots (EDIT: Few days now ) either via reboot menu, wanamXposed module and adb, I have not lost my account so far.
This is still being tested, so affected users please test and comment how it worked for you.
There are hundreds of posts out there that tell you the fix is to be on Google play Store version 4.4.21 and many of them have reported that it works. Unfortunately many including me, were on the very same version and yet Google account was being wiped no matter what. Thats when i realized, it is not just being on 4.4.21, but having that version as a system app, instead of having the version installed as an update. The difference is, when you have version 3.x.x installed as a system app, which updates itself to 4.4.21, it does not update the original app, but instead installs updates in the /data partition. So seeing version 4.4.21 in the Playstore app 'About' settings does not mean anything.
Verify if you are on an affected release.
Go to Setting >> more >> Application Manager >> Downloaded. If you see 'Google Play Store' you may be affected.
Now go to the application managers "All" Section (swiping leftward from 'Downloads' section) and navigate to 'Google Play Store'
You will see the version number of your app. Next to it, you will see two buttons, One of them may be "uninstall updates" If you see this option, your version number means nothing. Don't be fooled by it, you have may 4.4.21 installed, but in your /data/app directory.
If the above was true, you have an older version of playstore installed as a system app, and have the latest version installed as an update over the old version in the /data partition.
Instructions
Flash GoogleWipeFix_Flash_CWM.zip from Clockworkmod.
PS: This really only removes your existing Google Play Store, flashes v 4.4.21 and clears data. You may as well flash it, nothing to loose.
Click Show content for Manual Instructions (Not needed if you chose to flash instead).
You do not need this if you flash using my zip. This is for Manual Testing only.
If you are not already on PlayStore version 4.4.21 then download version 4.4.21 and place in in your SDCard as /sdcard/Phonesky.apk
DOWNLOAD
Google Play Store 4.4.21
Instructions for shell users :
Code:
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /system/app/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk.bkp
mv /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk.bkp
cp /sdcard/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Phonesky.apk
reboot
Instructions for Root explorer users
Re-mount /system as read-write
Backup /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Backup and Delete /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk (TIP: you may see warnings that PlayStore Stopped, Thats ok!)
Copy /sdcard/Phonesky.apk and overwrite /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Give the new apk appropriate read permissions to all. rw-r--r--
reboot

Troubleshooting help
If it does not work for you, it would be of great help if you could post below details.
What rom are you on?
Please check the following:
Go to application manager >> Google Play Store and tel me if you see the button "Uninstall updates" next to "Force Stop"
If you have "Uninstall updates" you need to click it, and then repeat the whole procedure again.
Do you have access to adb or terminal emulator app? if yes, please give me the output of the following.
Code:
su
ls -l /data/app/com.android.ven* /system/app/Phonesky.*

I use my own cooked rom which is posted in the forums as well.. I have hardly had any gapps issues.. Had them once in the beginning but flashing the latest gapps solved everything..!
Thanks for sharing

I am using Tigra v.3 ROM, which has the 4.4.21 version as system app and still I had the Google account wiped yesterday after a reboot from Wanam Xposed.
So maybe your fix solves some problems, but in my case...
Thanks anyway!

My ROM users are already on 4.4.2.1 by default (removed everything related to old versions) and they still have account lost.
The problem is only in XXUEMI6, XXUEMJ2/5 don't have this problem.
Thanks for sharing

tried this on my n7105T
no i no longer get the force close / crash message
just no connection (like i was getting prior to trying a million other fixes)
including factory reset

I haven't been on the forums much lately but can't see anything about this - what is the bug exactly? All your google data being deleted on just the account being removed from the phone? Or something else entirely?

Its just been one day, so i'm hoping this fix stays permanent. Are you sure you do not have /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk installed?

What do you mean by no connection? I am not sure if this will apply to your device since this caters specifically to Note 2 leaked roms.

If you are on one of the affected roms, after you reboot Google account is totally removed. As if it was never added. Its known to happen on Note 2 android 4.3 leaked MI6 rom

I've tested your possible Fix.... Had 3 reboots in total now... so far so good... No G account yet....

I just did try.
I didnt have vending-1.apk in my data folder so didnt do anything with that.
Also when we copy phonesky.apk , do we need to set permission to rw.r.r ???
I actually did it. And now trying.

I just moved the updated version to /system/app and removed Phonesky.apk.
I'm gonna check out if it does anything, smart tip btw, never thought of this.

I've given it a try, thanks.

Thanx man

Yes,the fix works...rebooted nearly ten times today,no google account loss.
Just remember to set permission as rw-r-r for phonesky.apk after replacing the old one.

Hey, I do have installed your "old" Radio and works just fine ! Thanks a lot !
The ZIP that has FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk in it.
I do use PACMAN ROM v21.0 JB 4.2.2.
Now about this "new" Radio app. I wanted to try it, because I already love the design of it.
a.) Tried to just install it (version 2 actually started without freezing at once), still having your "old" radio installed.
It starts, asks for headset und superuser rights. No sound and while searching for radio stations the app freezes, giving me the message "Radio stopped working".
b.) I could not uninstall "old" Radio the "old fashioned way", as trebuchet-launcher stopped working then, so I had to to delete FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk from system/app. (are there any other remnants btw. ?)
Deleting FmRxApp2.2deu-ger-only.apk 1st resulted into a "Failed"...but then got deleted.
c.) Flashing ZIP via CWM also ends up in a Error (Status 6) - Installation aborted
d.) Copying the 2 apk files of the "new" Radio into system/app (after deleting old one) Installs the app (android updates message) but the Radio FC's on start (version2)

Dont worry doing factory reset, just back up your data and apps using titanium backup and simply restore them after doing factory reset.

When the apps from the playstore install without problem, i'd say your installer is fine. I've encountered this problem as well, but only if I was using the wrong file/wrong file extension..

thanx a lot man!!
i backed up all my data and then did a factory reset with a rom and gaaps reflash...
all is working cool now!!

Hi there, m sure that yu tried to remove bloatware from your device or yu may have rooted ur phone. i would suggest to download and install adb driver and debloater applications in your pc first. after that open debloater app with phone connected to ur pc and begin to read files. there in the list of files you can see googleinstaller.apk which will have a tickmark. that means yu have removed that file in ur phone and so yu are facing this problem. untick and click apply and yu are good to go

the problem is android 10, once i upgraded to 10 i couldnt install any of my backed up apk(samsung a20). still trying to find solutions ...

My problem is specific with ES Explorer File PRO app in Android 10 too, and I solved this issue installing the "APK Installer by Uptodown" app from Google Play. It's free and no ads.
Maybe if we choose "certified installer" and marked as app "default" to open apk files and later we change manually to "package installer" in the file where that this choice was record, the ES Explorer File could use the package installer native of android to install apk files.
