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

If this Help Preess Thank! :good::good::good:
this is the chinese version sch-i879. which cwm should i try?
For those who use spice mi 495 and are stuck :crying: trying to update Google apps and are unable to install Google play services with error on screen showing incompatible with other apps using the same shared user id. Here is a tested and working solution.:good:
Steps :-
1.Backup all the data and apps u already have on your phone as we are going for a factory reset. ( To backup current version apks of the app use root explorer and copy all apks from /data/app and some apks from /mnt/asec/ .)
2.Downloaded latest signed gapps for Android ICS from here (49.64 MB).
3. Turn off your phone.
4. Boot phone in recovery mode and Wipe data/factory reset. (This is why you need to back up everything.)
5. Flash the latest signed Gapps downloaded earlier.
6. Wipe Dalvik cache and cache partition then reboot.
7. Downloaded the latest version of Google Play Store and installed it. (You can download version 4.5.10 of play store from here [3.69 MB] )
8. Update all the Gapps via Play Store. (Meanwhile if there are updates for other than Google apps you may update them too.)
9. Then install Google Play Services and done! :victory:
Note:- Alternatively in place of step 7 you can open the Market (Play Store) and tap agree. Then press home and leave it for awhile. After the Play Store is updated, open it and tap agree again. The new Play Store should download Google Play Services and install it for you.
I found the solution here
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

Hi Sir! Can you please provide a more detailed instructions sir? I seem to have a hard time installing Gapps. Will the n9006 rom compatible with my n9009 running lollipop v5.0? Please help me sir. This problem is already taking me forever to solve.
LINK error, update link please:angel:
I having Gionee Dream D1, Android version 4.1.2. I ran kingo root application to root the device; it got rooted, because when I check by Root Verifier (F-droid app), it says "Device is Rooted". Then I installed Superuser (F-droid app) and all is going well. I made all google apps as a normal app by using /system/app mover (F-droid app) and uninstalled all of them. Now, I want to re-install google play store app, so I tried by google search and xda forum. I tried by installing play store apks 5.2.13,3.7.11 and 3.7.13 apks along with google play service apks, google play store app gets installed, but when I click on it, it appears and goes away.
I have not install any other ROM for the device nor nothing done like recovery or anything else.
I don't know what else I need to configure. Kindly help me.
Regards
Girish Sharma
How I configured google play store on my rooted (rooted by Kingo Root tool) Gionee Dream D1 Device Android 4.1.2
A. Downloaded Gapps Manager.apk
B. Installed Gapps Manager
C. Setting--apps--All--Reset app preferences (To avoid gapps not responding or aborted error)
D. Performance Control tool—Cleared delvik cache and restarted device
E. Run Gapps Manager, clicked on Android 4.1.x option (Because I am going to configure google play store on my this android version i.e. 4.1.2)
F. Got downloaded gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip in SD Card/Download folder
G. Power off device
H. Booted the device in recovery mode Power button+Volume Up button
I. Install zip from sd card and browsed Download folder, selected above zip file
J. Ported above zip successfully and restarted the device.
K. All Done.
Just posting for those who are searching the answer/solution.
Has anyone had success in getting google play store / gapps running on the Chinese SM-G 9200 with Android 6.0.1?
Flashing gapps in TWRP fails due to insufficient available storage, all kind of installations i tried (rooted / unrooted) are just leading to crashing google services framework. I set the maximum permissions including change of system settings in the app config. No success.
Anyone had success? Or can extract the google packages from another S6 to test if i can install?
I had success but the path is everything else than straightforward and i would call it a dirty hack and i do not give any guarantee that this will work and not brick your phone.
1. Flash firmware CHC-G9200ZCU2DPL1-20170105164838 with Odin
2. Install TWRP (i used 3.0.0.0). This will result in boot-loop
3. Re-Flash the firmware above
4. Boot up the phone, should work now
5. Restart into TWRP, install SuperSU (i used 2.46)
6. Boot up the phone
7. Use Root Explorer to free up some system space to install gapps. (I deleted the Chinese apps in /system/preload which should give sufficient space but deleting might have side effects)
8. Download pico arm64 Android 6 gapps from opengapps
9. Boot into TWRP, install gapps
10. Boot up the phone. Play store should be there, you can open but i was not able to login
11. I downloaded the Google Installer_2.0.apk typically used for Xiaomi phones and run the app. It will update ServicesFramework, Install Loginmanager and fail with Playstoreservices, but this is fine. Probably it is just sufficient to install the Loginmanager, did not try that.
12. Re-boot the phone. Now It should work fine
