I'm guessing you are rooted with recovery and the phone is working (not bricked).
What recovery are you running? Is it a custom recovery? TWRP? CWM?
You should be able to just install gapps through goomanager
1. download goomanager (google "download goomanager," third result)
2. load it up on your device
3. find it in your file explorer and install
4. open the app and let it find the appropriate gapps for your device
goomanager will also let you install a custom recovery, just press menu in the app and choose install open recovery

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superuser says my binary is outdated.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.

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...
I have a Galaxy Grand but the chinese version.
The model is SCH-i879.
The problem i have is that the android in this phone does not allow me to install any of the google apps (maps, gmail, play etc).
I haven't been able to install CWM with odin. The installation seems succesfull (i'm installing the CWM for the Samsung Galaxy Grand GT-i9082). I cant boot into recovery when i flash the CWM.
I have the original Stock image that i got from Samsung Mobile.com, but other than that, i have not been able to install google apps, root the phone or install CWM to install Cyanogen or other custom rom.
Does anybody know what could i do to at least root the phone? i was able to install ROM Manager, but without any root privilages it is useless...
Help me Please!!

I want to install coustom rom on Samsung Galaxy Grand(Chineese Version)...Pless Help....
hello.
can u tell us how you managed to install gapps?
i downloaded the zip from goo.im and copied it to the root of the phone, rebooted and tried to install from recovery mode 3e but it says that it doesn't find the sdcard.
after that i thought that if i put an external sdcard maybe it will work. still nothing. the i tried with adb but i get an error about the signature of the zip.
the only way i see that i will be successful is by installing the zip from cwm.
is there something wrong with my phone that it can't see the internal sdcard or is it normal? when the phone is running i can see it without a problem. just in recovery mode i get the error

this is the chinese version sch-i879. which cwm should i try?
I figured that since it took me forever to figure out how to install GooglePlay store on the N9009, the dual sim China variant running 4.4.2 KK, and get it working properly I thought it'd be worth sharing with others who might want to do the same.
Things you will need:
Rooted N9009
Odin 3.07 http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1168421
CWM Recovery http://downloadandroidfiles.org/download-n9006-cwm-recovery-6-0-3-70922-fix-adb-tar/
GAPPS I used CM11 GAPPS from cynanogenmods wiki found here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
ES File Explorer/Root Explorer
You will need to flash a custom recovery through Odin. Run Odin with administrator privileges and click the PDA button. Locate the n9006-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.7(0922)-fix-adb.tar file and click start. Your phone should reboot. You should noticed that we're using the N9006 CWM recovery, which was the only one I could find that'd work with the N9009.
The problem I discovered when trying to flash GAPPS on the N9009 was that the priv-app cache was full and wouldn't allow all of GAPPS to install to /system/priv-app/. This is where I had to use a root explorer and delete a couple of apps from /system/priv-app/ For example, I deleted the Samsung gallery app and a couple other non crucial non-needed Samsung junk. Now you should be able to flash the GAPPS zip from CWM.
This was the best method I found for installing the GooglePlay Store and having it run correctly. I tried to install it manually by copying Google Play Services framework and everything over to the folders myself but kept running into the gapps has quite unexpectedly, google services has crashed, or the play store would just never connect.
maybe you can use the google installer in wandouji market
also need root
you will not trip knox and only need install an apk and let the software to do it.
[RE] maybe you can use the google installer in wandouji market
Well it did need all of the Google Services to run properly and I'm not sure whether Wandouija store would include them all or not. Also I can't really speak/read Chinese and I can't remember if the Wandouija store was on the phone already or not.
I just figured it would be best to flash it as a system app from twrp because there always seems to be less problems that way.
Maybe next time I have to add the play store to my bosses dual sim Chinese phone I'll try it that way.
detailed Instructions please

Is anyone out there aware of a way to root a Galaxy Beam 2 (SM-G3838)?
I recently purchased an ulocked device. It did not come with Play Store installed, and I can not seem to get it to work by installing the APK file.
The phone would be a great help at work if I could fully convert it to an American Phone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Update - I just found a method that works better than the Allabouthegalaxybeam youtube tutorial.. unfortunately I can't post links yet, but do the following:
1) Root your phone using the above tutorial.. but stop after rooting.
2) Use ODIN to flash CWM 6.0.5.0 - there is a tutorial online that you can use.
3) Install ADB on your PC and ADB Sideload one of the CM Jellybean GAPPS packages.
4) Sign in to your google account and update all your google stuff via playstore.
This will give you full google play services and framework + playstore + all google apps via play store, and you don't need to go through any strange 3rd party app stores or do any root explorer file copies. This is the most stable / secure way of getting Google on to the beam 2.

Dear All,
I bought Lenovo pha plus ( ROM versionis PB1-770N_S000101_160701_PRC ). It has only LenovoStore (in Chinese) to download the apps which really sucks Smiley Sad. It dont have pre-installed any google app. I badly need these google apps because without google maps the mobile is really useless. I have been tried these methods already:
1. Cleared cache in google app store etc and restart mobile.
2. Tried different versions of google app store and google play services.
3. Tried gapps also
Note: For some reason i dont want to root the mobile because firstly i am noob, secondly on the root mobiles our office attendance app dont work.
Bump! Please anyone could suggest. Thanks in advance.
One of the ways is install custom recovery so you can flash the GAPPS.
This is tutorial for installing TWRP in lenovo phab plus. Install TWRP
After that you can download and flash compatible gapps with your device here
You must think to do root on your phone to have super user thene install all google play services including play store ...

Did you ever figure out how to install google play on the phab 2 plus? I'm having the same issue. None of the google apps I've downloaded will work. Plz let me know If you found a way to fix it!
Just download stock rom and install fresh android. All process is very simple.
If you dont find, I will upload again...
