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superuser says my binary is outdated.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 i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes.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...
Google play workaround For mate 30 pro EMUI10 in
Hello everyone Today i will be writing about Huawei's flagship Mate 30 pro
Let me quickly tell what all things you require:-
HISuite for desktop (latest)
HiSuite for android (latest)
Download Zip from the link below:-
https://bit.ly/2P54OoZ
Steps to follow :-
Install HiSuite on Laptop/Desktop.
Extract Zip in Any folder of your choice.
Search for HDB in settings and enable it.
Now connect your Mate 30 Pro to PC.
When your Device is connected to PC you will see:-
Options like Backup , Restore etc etc in bottom tab of HiSuite on your PC
Click on restore(2nd option)
on top tab you will find option to browse for backup directory
Go to directory where you extracted zip
Select that
Go inside you will find 2 folders
Google
Huawei
Go inside huawei
you will find a folder Huaweixxxxxxxxx(xxx=Some date )
select this folder
Now on HiSuite you will see 2 things
1)AppData 2)Settings (from backup file)
uncheck settings by clicking on it
click restore at bottom
this will install lz play app all in chinese lang
dont worry just allow all permissions and then when you see list of items in chinese
just click bottom blue button
now copy contents of google folder in zip to the phone (these are google apk)
install all apps
restart your phone
And done you are good to use google
Thanks
Your device does not support the backup or recovery feature
Thank you for sharing this fix, however, when I connect my device, I click on "Restore" and am met with the message "Your device does not support the backup or recovery feature".
I am using a Mate 30 Pro. Is there another way to get these files onto the device?
Many thanks,
Please tell your device model lio-l29?

I also faced this issue in starting but updating hisuite to latest version and factory reset device did the trick, don't use hisuite which is provided in package but use updated one, hope this solves your issue.
Thanks
Hi
Is mate 30 support this as wel
Hi,
You don't actually need to use the HiSuite and PC at all. Basically you can copy both folders to a usb stick, then connect USB stick to a phone and use restore backup from USB. All you have to restore from the backup is the com.lzplay.helper app. Then you can install all the apps from Google folder on the phone. Then go and give the Google apps all the permissions.
Now the tricky part. In order to make them system you have to give the lzplay app device administrator priviledges. You can go to flight mode, or even remove your SIM and delete all WiFi networks and then go to flight mode and then launch lzplay, give it device admin priviledges then restart the device. As soon as device restarts revoke device admin privs for lzplay and delete the app. Then enable data connection and you can use google apps now.
The only tricky part is that lzplay should be reverse engineered before to check if it is not dropping something else on your device when it is allowed device admin priviledges. Cutting off data just ensures that it will not download anything but if it drops something else then well I would be cautious with such device (well I am actually, just created a new google account for this device.).

Banking Apps?
Just a quick question.
Does this "Root" the phone or cause issues with using banking apps or any other app that needs a "Secure" phone??
I really want a Mate 30 Pro, but need all my banking apps and google pay to work.
Thanks

Google Pay works for contactless payments in stores?
I thought this is not possible due to Google not listing the phone model as "safe", regardless of the GMS setup method.

How did you manage to get Google pay to work?
- are you able to successfully add your credit/debit card into Google pay?
- Have you tried tapping your mate 30pro to make payment in retail store ?
I googled everywhere. Doesn't seem to have solution to use Google pay

I used the method I described in this thread-followed these exact steps and then since I was unable to update play services, I Transfered the latest version of Google play services app from my other phone and installed it which would replace old version of Google play services and from then on I can update and do all required things. Hope it helps

Hi Everyone!

2 - Now, go to the developer and enable the USB Debugging option.
3 - Connect your phone to your PC via USB cable and open an elevated(Run as Administrator) command window.
4 - Enter the command “adb shell” and press Enter.
Now, enter the commands from the list below to remove the respective app.
pm uninstall –k ––user 0 Name Of The App
And, i made a list of apps that I THINK it could be removed (no technical knowledge at all!).
Does anyone removed those apps or know that is too risky to do so?

Yeah I've done this on the chinese ROM, can't remember exactly what i did remove (it wasn't exactly that list), I used an app called 'Package Names' from the Play Store to help identify which ones I wanted to remove.
It is a bit risky so I targeted the Breeno voice stuff and apps that I knew wouldn't be system critical, has been a success.
Google assistant now working. Also google feed now comes up instead of the breeno feed thing.
Nearly feels like a european ROM, my only remaining niggle is how to get location tracking turned back on for google maps timeline.

Yes same here as well. DId you manage to get the google feed to display English instead of straight Chinese characters as well?
As a bit of information, IDK if you've played around with defaults aswell:
I have been trying to get past the default app limits arbitrarily placed in the OS. I followed similar instructions to above to get a working SMS app other than the stock Messages. For me personally, I enjoy using Textra.
First I backed up the stock messages app and then removed it via the method above. Then I reinstalled it. Next I deleted Textra and then reinstalled it as well. I set Textra to default in the Textra app itself. Finally I removed Messages. I can message in Textra, but every time I receive a message the entire system has a hint box that appears that suggests to change preferences. It is important to note that the OS does not recognize Textra as the default, but it functions as one since the default is removed temporarily.

I think this is a sytem app,
So as to remove it ,you need root previlage ,
AS the twrp for realmex50pro is not availabe,you need to do this,
extract your bl of your current rom,
install magisk ,use magisk to patch the bl
boot to fastboot mode,flash the magisk patched bl,
boot to system,and complete the magisk install,
In magisk,set adb root previlage,
In adb command,type su,
then you type the correspondence delete command,
This time,Things will be done
Anyway,extract the bl of the current rom may be the most difficult task.
Try this website,I got it from another post,

pm disable-user --user 0 com.heytap.market
So, this is my first time rooting a phone, and once I managed to get it to work, I started playing around to see what capabilities I had now.
In doing this, I uninstalled the play store. I've tried multiple methods to reinstall it, but none have worked so far.
I've tried installing a new play store apk and used systemize to turn it into a system app, but that didn't work (the app crashed on launch)
I've also tried using link2sd but the app wouldn't let me convert to system app.
If anyone else has any tips for me I'd be grateful.

Copy it from another device using ApkExport then transfer the installable copy over to the victim device and install.
I haven't tried it with Playstore but it works on other apks even if the donor device is on a different Android OS version.

sadly the only other device i have is a samsung galaxy S2 that is barely functional. I doubt that'll work.
Before you do anything I'd make sure you have a good backup of your device. Copy text messages, contacts, photos, etc all to external storage.
My first thought was just download install APK, but I see you've done that.
Someone else may have a better suggestion, but, if nothing else works, I'd try installing pico GApps to restore Playstore functionality.

Pico PackageThis package is designed for users who want the absolute minimum GApps installation available. In this package you will find the core Google System Base, Google Android Shared Library, Google Play Store, Google Calendar Sync, Dialer Framework and the following Play Store applications:

I copied apks from a S4 running on Kitkat to my Note 10+. If it loads Playstore will need to update, that may be a problem... or not.

Yeah it's a system app on my Note 10+, can't be uninstalled*.
Normally it doesn't crash although it's common for it to not connect to Playstore. It does that if Google play Services is disable but even then it doesn't crash.
* I think, it has a disable option but to find out if there's an uninstall I would need to revert to the factory load first... which isn't something I want. It appears to be as I originally stated.

there is no uninstall option. I uninstalled it through other means as my phone is rooted. Now I'm having issues re-installing it and getting it to work.
My last 2 cents here:
Per definition only apps that are needed by Android OS to work are called system apps and are stored in /system/apps. Other apps - called 3rd-party apps like Google Play Store - may be stored in /system/priv-apps.
BTW:
If you manually install Google Play Store APK then it installs to /data/app directory - as expected.
Hey guy's, I hope somebody can help me out here. I can't find any explanation on internet. I want to install an apk from the local storage on my Rog phone 5 ( android 12,un rooted) .
In the old days it was pretty simple, just a slide to activate the "allow unknown sources", click on the apk file and it would install. Now on the rog phone 5 in the apps¬ifications, special app-acces, install unknown apps it only shows a few apps that I can give permissions to install from unknown sources. Like Chrome, file manager, gmail, brave browser etc. ( see picture). So I give the file manager or brave the permission,restart the phone, go to the apk in the file manager but it won't install.
It will just show the contents of the apk. If I select the apk I can remove it, rename it, compress it, anything but install it.
I can choose open with brave but still nothing happens. I tried downloading an app in the playstore to install apk files but it won't even list the apk file. I have no clue why they made something that used to be so easy so complicated. So I hope somebody can enlighten me how to install an apk on this phone. Thanks in advance!
Have you enabled install unknown apps in developers options ? Special app access allows you to allow/not allow individual apps to install unknown apk files. I think you have to enable it in developer options for the native installer first. I may be wrong but it's worth checking.
I'll go check if the option is there and let you know. Tnx man.
The only thing I found was " force app allowance on external drive" and but it changed nothing.

you could try
Code:
adb shell settings put secure install_non_market_apps 1
adb shell settings put secure unknown_sources_default_reversed 1
that would be from terminal on pc or you could install settings database editor from play store and grant it permissions via adb and you will have gui to change system settings
Could you please walk me through how to do this? Tnx.

Ok, first I guess I need to ask some questions. Have you tried a different file manager, installed thru play store ? How many .apk files have you tried to install ? If it is just the one app that you have in storage it may be corrupt. Have you tried a fresh copy of it ? Is it an old app and is it compatible with your Android version ?
I don't know what I was thinking, that isn't in developer options anyway, it's in security. It would seem odd for them to remove the ability to install personal apk.
