Help post please help - Samsung Galaxy J7 Questions & Answers

I bought a Samsung Galaxy J7 2015 China edition without google in it and also play store. How can I get Google in it and use play store and other Google apps.
Thanks in advance.

Install custom recovery. Twrp using odin. Now flash opengapps.
Thanks.

It's j7008 which doesn't have twrp

This post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67988342&postcount=103 confirms that J700P sprint qualcomm chipset is the same as J7008 so the twrp version should work as well.

I dont understand. When you flashed twrp with odin , did it say PASS or FAIL ?

It passes but when it tries to turn on it crashes on boot image.

flash stock recovery to get it to boot up again. use AP slot in odin.

'down load TWRP from andriod store' what do you mean by this? you got an app off the play store that lets you download TWRP i presume?
go to the official thread in the note 3 forum for TWRP, and if you are on KK download the latest.
works fine for me.

How can one see if its worked other than the increased volume

[Q] C-ROM locked SM-G9200

Hi, I hope somebody can help me.
I have a Chinese SM-G9200. I did the following:
- pingpong root
- installed Flashify to install TWRP (success) and it asked to reboot
but during reboot now it says "Custom binary blocked by C-ROM" in pink on the top left corner of the screen of the boot Galaxy logo, then it shuts down :crying:
I cannot have it to complete the boot sequence anymore. See the picture attached.
Also when I try recovery mode is the same pink writing and then shuts down.
Only possibility is to go in download mode, but if I try to upload with Odin, the usual screen that says:
Installation Failure
You need to unlock your device to install a custom OS.
For information about how to unlock, please refer to your device information at wwwsamsungcom/cn.
Please press the power key to restart.
Please somebody help me to get back the phone to life!!! how can I unblock it?
thanks

you need to first install CROM from Galaxy app store and then unclock the bootloader. CROM is official Samsung software.

well... I've installed TWRP, but the touchscreen doesn't work, and also the buttons don't work in TWRP. How can I move the cursor?
I need to install the gapps...
I've installed TWRP 2.8.6.2. Is there any other version or any other recovery tool that works?
Or: is there any other way to install the gapps on this chinese S6?
Thanks for the support!!! :angel:
Ciccetti,
Could you tell me what steps you have taken to put the phone back to life. My phone always stuck at the logo screen like yours.

you need to reinstall the exact stock ROM for your mobile. You can find it for example on the sammobile website.
then install it with Odin: you can find the procedure by googling. the phone should not complain about "installing custom software", because it is the stock ROM.
once you are done, go on the galaxy store (icon on the phone) and search for C-ROM app. Install it and unlock your phone.
once done, you can reinstall TWRP with Flashify.
One hint: at the end of the flashify flashing, do not hit reboot button, otherwise the phone will only boot in TWRP and will not boot anymore into normal mode, and you have to reflash everything again.
Instead, after the flashify, do not press reboot, but hold the power button until the popup comes up and then press power off. Then after the phone is well off, keep volume up, home and power to boot into TWRP. Then you will be able to boot again into the normal phone.
Problem is: I can't get the touchscreen to work on TWRP and also the hardware buttons. How can I install the gapps?
So the stock rom should include the stock recovery so that once Odin finishes installation, it will replace TWRP recovery and the phone should be able to bypass the boot lock?

ok. found the way to install gapps using flashify.
telling flashify to install gapps through twrp doesn't require to use any button or touch in twrp. so now it is all set!!! :victory:
Do I need to locate the exact version of the stock rom in the phone? if it is a different (either older or newer) version, will it work? I ask this because I rooted the phone by pingpong root about three weeks ago and since then, Samsung has updated at least twice of their official stock rom.
@cicceti
mate, TWRP chinese version with english theme you need.

IT WORKS!!! thanks BrasoV!!!! :highfive:
so to recap:
Galaxy S6 bought in China SM-G9200
root with Pingpong (google it)
download C-ROM from the Galaxy Store to unlock it from flashing custom roms
download TWRP Chinese version (the "normal" one is not responsive to touch screen), with the English translation (for example, google "SVA SM-G9200" and download G9200-TWRP-2.8.6.0-CN(0601).tar and S6_TWRP_English_theme.zip)
Copy the English theme for TWRP on the phone (extract ui.zip from archive, put it into "/sdcard/TWRP/theme/" directory)
activate the USB debug mode on the phone (google "how to ...")
Install TWRP with Odin 3.10.6 (google "how to ...")
Boot the phone in normal mode
google "Flashify apk", download it and install it
run Flashify, click install GAPPS (choose gapps 5.0), choosing the TWRP option
DONE!!! now you have a S6 dual sim with GAPPS and a working TWRP!!!
NB: KNOX gets tripped and Triangle away doesn't work (yet)
THANKS BRASOV and all the other people!!!
also you can try my stock rom for 9200 hk P >>>>

Google Play Services on G9200 CHC
Absolutely Awesome :good: You guys saved my life with this solution having almost given up on my G9200 CHC version entirely.
No matter what I tried I always kept getting the "Google Services stopped working" message, even after I had rooted the phone. Then I did the mistake of updating to latest official firmware via Samsung Switch - only made everything worse.
If you did it anyway, here's how to fix it, and get back on track so you can apply the solution provided in this thread:
1. Download the firmware version that was originally installed on the phone (in my case G9200ZCU1AOD9)
2. Boot the phone in download mode and push the original firmware via Odin 3.10.6
3. Boot the phone normally and let it get to the Samsung logo - where it will get stuck/freeze
3. Now enter recovery mode (hold down Volume Up, Power and Home until the boot logo appears)
4. now Wipe data / factory reset and Wipe cache partition, then boot your phone normally.
5. The rest was piece of cake once I found this thread
I tried a million ways to get Gapps on my phone without rooting, but none of them work, even many methods with rooting never worked for me. This one worked, and everything is running smoothly now.
Thanks everyone.......

dear all,
did anybody succeed in installing the GAPPS on the SM-G9200 with the new update to lollipop 5.1.1?
i'm referring to ROM G9200ZCU1BOH2.
i succeeded in installing the G9200-TWRP-2.8.7.0-LL51-CN, but when I flash the GAPPS for 5.1.x and hit reboot, the phone doesn't boot anymore and I have to reinstall the stock ROM...
any clue?
thanks

Want to unlock my bootloader + installing TWRP

Hello all,
I am receiving tomorrow my new Samsung S6 and i want to know some things.
- Unlocking bootloader (how to and link?) - have searched a bit and you need ODIN. but what is the best version etc
- Installing TWRP3.0 (how-to) - where to find the latest TWRP for samsung s6
And than one of the most important question, is there a stock android that doesent have any buys and fc's????
Bootloader is not locked on S6 (except AT&T variant)
You can get latest ODIN from here;
http://dl.sammobile.com/Odin3_v3.10.7.zip
If you want to install TWRP on it;
1- Update it to Marsmallow if you haven't
2- Install this TWRP via ODIN;
http://arter97.com/browse/S6/kernel/13.1/g920fi/arter97-recovery-g920fi-13.1-twrp_3.0.2-0.tar.md5
3- Boot up to TWRP and flash this ZIP before do anything on TWRP;

Wouldn't this order make more sense so he had a backup in case something goes wrong?

No, and there probably won't be any for a long time, but there are lots of TouchWiz-based custom ROMs.
so basicly i dont need any customezation? because you telling me there will not be released a custom stock rom? Even a CM13 rom
thats poor services!

Correct. The only custom ROMs availability now and the foreseeable future are based on TouchWiz, not AOSP Android or CyanogenMod.

He need dm-verity disabled boot image for working TWRP backups. That's why I suggest him to install this ZIP.
While reading topics on the internet (google)
If you THE smartphone update to 6.0 you do not need to unlock the bootloader. is this correct?
For now i will not use TWRP because there isent a proper ROM for the S6. is this because the exynoss CPU? because QSD cpu's have always the better support for CM..

As I said before, there's no bootloader unlock because bootloader is factory-unlocked on Samsung devices.
If you want root, you should to use TWRP for install the latest SuperSU.
Yes, there's no CM ROM for Exynos 7420 right now. Maybe in future? Who knows...
is there a twrp that works because the original twrp that i download form twrp.me isent working getting a weird issue: recovery is not seandroid enforcing

i tried to install it, used the AP method in Odin.
But when i want to go in TWRP recovery i get the stock recovery! How to solve this issue
I'm having this issue as well on the T-Mobile variant. I have tried the unchecking auto reboot option in Odin and manually going to recovery. When I successfully flash according to Odin, I can't not get past the Recovery is not Seandroid enforcing boot.

Recovery for Marshmallow?

Hello all! I recently updated my Spring Note5 to Marshmallow! I quickly installed the Aurora Kernel to root it and got xposed installed via FlashFire. I was just curious as to if there was a Custom Recovery for marshmallow yet? I tried the latest TWRP and got stuck in a bootloop (soft brick). I was able to recover it luckily. Is there a working custom recovery yet? Thank you!
Here is the TWRP link for the Note 5 running marshmallow https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24459283995314665
