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,
HuskerJeff
Search youtube for "Allabouthegalaxybeam" - he's done a tutorial on how to root + playstore / google services and it worked well for me.

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.

Hi,
I just got CyanogenMod 9 running on my Galaxy S Plus (i9001).
But there is no Play-Sore app on the screen ....
Thanks .....
You have to flash Gapps...its in the CM9 threads. Gapps are all of your google applications. CM can't include them in the ROM due to licensing issues.
How to install the "Play Store App" on CM9

I have done so, and installed gapps (more than once).

Where you able to sign into your Google account? If you did and still no good then try searching Google and manually pushing the apk with root explorer or a similar app

Can not get Google Play Store to run on CM9
I successfully got CM9 to run,
I installed the associated gapps package, in this package downloaded from xda the app "Google Play Store" was missing ...
I surfed a lot in this space an found
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1581082&highlight=play+store+app
I tried to install all 4 version ....
with Root Explorer, checked permissions, rebooted ... and so on.
Every time I start the app it stops immediately ....
I logged in into my gmail account, that did work
Any other Help ? Thanks
Did you download the version of GAPPS made for ICS? (should have -ICS somewhere in the filename)
The gapps site lists dozens of versions, for various phones and roms.

Google play is not included in Android 4 / CM 9.
To install Google play, you need to download the google play apk from http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-google-play-apk-3-5-19/
Scenario 1: file managers is already installed.
Then transfer the apk to SD card and use the file manager to install google play apk.
Scenario 2: There is no file manager.
Install Android SDK or the ADB driver.
Some link that are useful here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601159
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Howto:_Install_the_Android_SDK
Open the ADB shell and type in "adb install <google play apk file name>"
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

...we can root this device?
whether previously able to install playstore ?
the quick way, try factory data reset (backup you data because it will erase data on phone). and try download playstore again.
Before trying to root back up your data, then try following this guide to root your tablet. Then once rooted you need to install SuperSu.apk (only trustworthy place besides Google play I could find the apk only and not a zip )here to be abke to grant apps root access. Then use a file explorer that can have root acces (I suggest ES File Explorer) to move the Google play .apk and Google play services .apk files (you should be able to download them from apkmirror or similar sight) into /system/priv-app/ using a file explorer with root acces and reboot and Google Play should work. If you have any problems rooting please post your problems in the thread I linked or search the forums.

First I noticed that your build version (YTD802a153015) is different than the one you need for this guide to work (Build YTP802A128630). To fix this go under Settings->About Device->Check for Updates (may be called something slightly different) and check for an update and if there is one install it and you should be on the correct build (YTP802A128630).
And the link seems to be broken, so I did some searching and I was able to find it directly from dell here.
thank you for your reply !!!
i tried to search some updates but is not available
how can do? hom many risk there are to root the device with different build?
thanks in advance
All Android phones in China comes without Google Play or any Google services.
It seems the only option is to root and install the google apps, but I was wondering what happens if I change the stock firmware from China to another country (let's say Hong Kong for example) in order to download play store. Any help would be helpful thanks!
Hi KJYap,
You can download the Google Play Apk from the link below: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
Probably a popup comes up that you need to give permission to install the apk..
Check 'Unkown Sources' in the settings and you're good to go
Now you can install all Google apps you want from Google Play.
Hope it helps!

Sorry but that's incorrect, you need to install TWRP and flash gapps to get the framework, otherwise the apps won't work. If you have a 9200 we cant use the regular TWRP and you must use the one linked on the SVA Rom page http://www.studenikin.ru/svarom/svarom_G9200.asp

This is not possible. You cant install the playstore apk like every other apk. You have to copy this apk (and play services) in the system partition and give it the appropriate rights. and for that you need root. And don't flash Gapps to the Stock rom because these are intended for aosp roms.
Before i begin with this tutorial full credit of for the files of this tutorial go to Twilight glass: https://bbs.nubia.cn/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=1397112
Welcome to my alternative guide to installing GAPPS on the nubia x. This tutorial is only for people who are having issues with Teeemoo's method of installing GAPPS or for people who to want to have a more up to date version of GAPPS. Im sure most people have already seen Teeemoo's tutorial but for anyone who hasn't, it shows how to root and install GAPPS.
Once again keep in mind this is a workaround and should not be the official way in how to do it, keep your eyes on the Chinese forums if your waiting for updates on twrp and GAPPS. Im not taking any responsibility if anything goes horribly wrong
Teeemoo's: https://forum.xda-developers.com/nubia-x/how-to/how-to-gapps-nubia-x-t3878441
Like Teeemoo's tutorial this requires root, as i don't believe there is any method to install GAPPS without root. I can help with the basics on getting root on the nubia x but if you need a tutorial Teeemoo's tutorial is your best bet and if your still having issues Twilight glass's root tutorial will help, as long as you use google translate.
Now if your all ready we'll begin.
There is this text tutorial but if you are having issues I've uploaded a video to my mega drive (it is the same place as all the other files)
STEP 1: Download the Google folder from the mega link(DOWNLOAD AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE)
STEP 2: Move the files to downloads folder if there not already there.
STEP 3: Install Root Explorer (DOWNLOAD ON MEGA)
STEP 4: Open Root Manager and copy the 4 google folders from downloads to /system/prive-app
STEP 5: Now go to /system/prive-app and select the 4 google folders and select the 3 dots at the top right of the app, then select permission settings.
STEP 6: Enter the octal 0755 and check both options at the bottom (apply to all folders and subfolders, not to subfolders).
STEP 7: Once you have confined these options restart your phone straight away.
STEP 8; IMPORTANT STEP FOR ANYONE WHO IS HAVING DATA ISSUES WITH APPS LIKE GOOGLE PLAY AND YOU TUBE.
Make sure when you open the google play store and login in to your google account with moblie data enabled not wifi (this is important) if you want to be able to use google play and other google apps on data reliably
GOOGLE FILES DOWNLOAD: https://mega.nz/#F!8poGlAqL!lJv5HZaa_iT-mMTWJhk7Hw
This is it for the Google play install for anyone having issues feel free to leave a comment and ill try to get back to you. And once again full credit for the files goes to Twilight glass.
Thanks for reading if this helped please feel free to leave a like.
thx will try soon

Contact sync is still bugged I think cause of how the Nubia software is correct me if I’m wrong however the download issue can be fixed by downloading permission manager and enabling all the permissions needed
