Dear Experts,
I wanted to update Google play services and Chrome on a Galaxy S3 phone.
I have done this many many times before. Now when I tap the .apk files,
I am immediately getting an error - 'App not installed'
Surprisingly - it happens for both Google play services and Chrome. I tried
another .apk file and it installed fine !!
I tried to free some more space in the Internal memory, I also went to wipe
the cache from the Recovery menu, but none of that helped and now I am
out of ideas! Please help me!
Many thanks!
The phone is the i9300 according to the Odin screen?
http://opengapps.org/ maybe ? Custom recovery needed. In settings unknown sources app on ? crc (checksum) apk is ok ?

Yeah, I know the Gapps, as I have been flashing those on my Galaxy Note 3. But the S3 is perfect as it is and I am not planning on rooting it.
How do I get the checksum of the apk from the server ? I just thought, that the cause is a defective USB cable, because it's exactly those 2 apk's which I copied the last time. But just now I've tried another cable and unfortunately, the result is still the same
Please kindly provide a solution...
You no need root
Only flash custom recovery to force update google play service imo or reflash and use backuped data from google account (if you have).
I assuming, you dont have warranty void ?
For the second question use http://code.kliu.org/hashcheck/ and search md5,sha, ect.

Thanks for your reply! The phone has max. 2-3 weeks more warranty.
But just I don't feel like rooting it, because it's perfect as it is (except
for being very slow, but I guess with only 1 GB RAM this is no surprise).
4.3 is, in my opinion, the best looking Android version !! The next ones
are extremely ugly with the white background, round icons and iPhone
like on-off switches, really terrible!
Is it possible to flash a custom recovery without rooting ? I guess I need to use USB debug mode and Odin from PC ? On my other phone - I first
rooted it, then I flashed the latest TWRP with Flashify and it was a very
quick procedure.
Actually what mostly worries me - could the cause for Google play
services and Chrome failing to install be some virus/malware ? What
can I do in order to rule this out ?
Many thanks for replying and helping me with this issue.
If you use odin you no need root or usb debugging mode (dont know why people use that- its do nothing)
After you flash custom recovery, you may trigger knox (Triangle Away reset flash counter but not knox). You dont get virus without permission - never use antivirus (its bad for speed of phone).
You tried clean settings that apps ? Last hope - hard reset.
Yes, but somebody has installed quite a few apps and as far as I can see, everyting that popped on the screen has been agreed to :-/ This is why I'm afraid of malware

Get your specific versions of apks from apkmirror. They are copies of the genuine files. App not installed can be signature mismatch or signature conflict.

Hello all,
may i´m not right in this forum, but i can´t see a matching one.
I bought a used android phone from someone who was somekind of "not friendly".
Coming from winmob, i´m an android noob.
After reading here and at the net about the possibilities of android apps, i am now a little afraid to go online with the device with my sim inside, because i am not sure if the seller may installed some spy-apps and then may get my personal data, my location, or may remotely crash the device after a while.
I´ve already set it back to factory. But as i read, there may some apps which will survive this. I´ve also already rooted and installed some "su-apps" to look inside processes and files.
But there are many apps and services i cannot judge if they are standard from the OS and safe, or not.
Are there tools to investigate if something "weird" is installed, or may blacklists of spy-apps?
Thx in advance.
flash back to a stock rom, then youll know you are safe.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
thanks for the quick reply
you mean, when i run
settings - security - back to factory (my translation from german)
is enough and no "backround-spy-process" is able to survive within this process?
thx

Simply doing the factory reset may not get it.
If you're rooted, install a custom recovery and then install a custom ROM (could be custom, or just a rooted stock rom). You'll wipe the various partitions when you install the rom, and that should clear anything up.
We aren't going to be able to help much more than that without knowing at least what phone you have. Note that there are phone-specific subforums here, I would recommend that you find the one for the phone you bought and ask in there.

thx for your suggestions....
as i said, i´m an android noob and a little afraid to install a custom ROM and if it will crash then.
it was on 1.6 and i already updated it to 2.2 (OTA) ... did that may did the same as to install a new (custom-) ROM?
btw. it´s a streak and i spent a lot of time to setup apps, widgets, etc.
are there really no tools to detect known spy-apps?
thanks to all

while surfing huawei china forums I found this custom Rom (http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-2182114-1-1.html)
Did any one tried it .. and if yes what is your feedback about it ?
I haven't tried his newest ROM B008, but I have tried several of his older modded ROM for the X1. Issue I have is that I can't get google play store or google services to work. I've tried varies version of goole play store and google service framework, but never could get it to work. Split view is nice...but it isn't automatic, you have to manually select the windows; not as good as Samsung implementation, but better than nothing.

it is sweet, i m using it, only 2 points to note before flashing it:
1) u need to be already on the official B008 rom (otherwise u will get the write to cust error)
2) the bootloader of your X1 must be already unlocked (if not u cannot flash via ADB)
for those using non china 4G sim, u may also get android.phone.com FC-ing during initial boot, no amt of wiping DATA or Cache (of phone itself or apps e.g. contacts, phone etc the usual sugg when u google the problem) will work, in this instance, simply switch to airplane mode, proceed to connect the X1 to your wifi and go abt dong all the updates via Huawei app store, i m not sure which update cured the problem, but when I switch off airplane mode after that, the FC disappears .. YMMV

there is actually a very simple workaround for google services (other than google+, which there is another solution), and it doesnt involve 'hacking' or meddling with system files, rooting is not even needed (although KangVIP rom comes pre-rooted)
because even on china roms, Huawei has actually implemented the google framework within, all we need are the correct apps, simply launch the default Huawei Store (App Centre) and search for Google Play, GoogleCalendarSyncAdapter and GoogleContactsSynAdapter. After installation of Play, just launch it and install other Gapps u need from there.
Hi all,
Small point to note, somehow Google always translates the Chinese word "shua" literally as the verb "brush" but it actually means the verb "flash" in this context.
Note that translations of "shua ROM" will end up being "brush ROM" instead of "flash ROM".

Sorry, I really have no idea what I had done to result in the FCs disappearing. In fact, I wasnt expecting it to be.
My original intention was to play around with it and conduct some experimental tweaks since I was already on it before reflashing to get rid of the FCs.
One other thing that may have caused the FCs to go away is Xposed framework, you can try installing it.
The attached file below is an old version, install it then update to version 2.5.1 via the Xposed app; I also installed the App Settings module (version 1.8) for per app DPI setting. In fact, this is the tweak I wanted to try on EMUI 3.0 B008, it worked on EMUI 2.3 B010 and I was hoping for the same favorable result on EMUI 3.0. It did.
It was after the above that I re-enabled mobile/data and discovered to my surprise the FCs were gone.
YMMV.
Unfortunately I couldn't make it so I'm back to use EMUI 2.3 B010.
Thank you for suggest me some methods.
ps / I got sme results. with Australian Boost sim is worked but Japan Softbank and Singapore StarHub SIM is won't work.
@potatohead
Today I try fix again then suddenly your method is work for my phone. I carefully follow methods then work.
Thanks.

Hi Potoatohead, after I installed the Xposed apk, I couldn't install the framework. I just got a hang (4.4.2 Emui 3.0). Downloading the 2.5.1 update and trying to install that result in install failed. Any clues?
I've been waiting for a custom ROM, haven't quite learned to make one myself. I've tried finding a compatible Xposed with no luck. The only things I have been able to do are debloat and add Viper/Dolby sound mods that added volume boosts. Please feel free to add any trials and errors you guys have had trying to mod this phone here.

There are plenty of tutorials for making your own rom and kerenel. There are plenty in xda university and an excellent one by my colleague jackeagle, if you want something device specific then it maybe better to add the phone title in your op rather than just adding a tag

MODS
Changed BootAnimation .zip to Cyanogenmod version
Added Viper4Divine FX + DivineEQ + Dolby Atmos
Apps Added into system:
AdAway
Camera FV-5
ES File Explorer
EvolveSMS
FlySo
GhostKik
Instagram
Kik
NovaLauncher
PowerManager
Pulsar+
Removed from system:
All LG Home Apps (FIRST replace with Launcher of your choice E.G. Nova or ADW)
Lookout
All Google but Play Store, Play Services, Play Games, Gmail, YouTube, Maps, and Drive.
All LG apps but SmartWorld (yes including Messaging)
And removed more but they were minor and cant remember...
DivineEQ is blank when loaded so far.
ES File Explorer clears its "history" every time i exit the app. But major settings stick.
I know its nothing major. If I knew Android Developing, I would create a custom rom.

As I said on the OP of that thread, check the specifications at the end.
Of course, it is for the MetroPCS version, I make it clear where it says:
Carrier: MetroPCS
And I also mention the twrp limitations and the fix.
Besides that, I am going to start building an slim version (very slim) and at the same time if anyone can provide me a T-mobile/Other Carrier Nandroid I can build slim versions of that for you guys.

That's when you boot into recovery and flash the Substratum.rescue zip and all good, plus, you should have a good nandroid to restore also. So nobody should be afraid to use Substratum, it's perfectly safe if you know your back up plans. Anyone has questions, just reply in this thread and I'll do my best to help anyone.

Yeah, I already had that panned out. My comment was a simple heads up about one of the possibilities.
snafu
starting over from scratch currently. everything was correct and working when i first rooted and progressively i messed up. i have no idea how it got so bad or why Ive put up with it for weeks now. i have several nandroid back-ups if anyone wants a headache. but i think my problem is deeper than just the ROM.
Laptop recognizes my LGMS210 as a LGMS550 when in recovery. Code 10 -broken drivers.... *re-flashed the recovery from fastboot [ADB version 1.0.32 Revision eac51f2bb6a8-android] and laptop gave me access to internal and SD but only seeing 9.95g available (6g for sys? is that right)
Google play is broke af. Nothing will install (error -504) even after cleaning data/data. data/apps .. even after dalvik/cache wipe.... even after praying. Not even apps Ive never installed before. LG smart world ie themes,fonts,whatever gives install error.
cant even install apks i have on SD (error-package seems corrupt)
Magisk wont update from ver 2.*.* to ver 16. begins to work but alas error -1 ?
I still have root tho lol
no super su present
and i have xposed framework API 26 installed but i think when using magisk and xposed modules this whole cluster nut began.
android Easter egg wont even work. its stuck with a fish selected, cant change the food offering. and NO cat has ever came.
Boot-loops 3-4 times if not shutdown properly... ie rebooter app or terminal reboot. i changed the default MPCS boot animation so i can see if its looping or chooching. gets thermo-nuclear hot and eventually boots after 4-5 minutes.
i'm gonna go ahead and re-flash stock FW.
*on a side note i keep confusing my PC software like fastboot and adb for my gf's galaxy tab A. Caught a security error brick when i accidentally used its fastboot for something like to unlock bootloader.... i have way too many devices being worked on at once. eh, never a dull moment.

You're using the wrong recovery if it's still showing the ms550.
Drivers are universal inside of company devices. (LG for LG, Samsung for Samsung) so they don't conflict.
Adb and fastboot are both universal drivers and shouldn't matter for your device. (I'm using the same fastboot I installed for my Galaxy note 4 that I am for my aristo, my V10, my htc desire 610, and my uncle's v20)
Just do what you said and start fresh.
Unlock the bootloader.
Install the proper twrp and remove encryption.
Flash the stock boot partition and wipe data (this is sneakily pertinent if you're gonna use magisk)
Do not install system mods before using magisk.
After that, use twrp's file explorer to remove and stock apps that you won't need.
Dear All , this method maybe already here somewhere ,
i have tried to root this specific device and i ran into many issues !
but successfully i have done it .
i'll upload the patched file here and i'll mention what method i have done ! ..
unlock boot loader is a must . ( Please read about it in google , All Samsung devices is the same method )
u might repeat the process to times until it successfully unlocked and greyed-out !
Next download this firmware only to be able to run the patched AP .
un-tick Auto-reboot before flashing .
once flash done , power + Volume down to restart , then volume up with power until u boot into the recovery
wipe data . restart . done
to make sure u have done every thing correctly u'll see RED massage once u boot you're device
Firmware ( This is UAE Firmware " T725XXS1ATC5_T725OJM1ASJ3_XSG " ) All Languages included . Link

No ! ..
Hi
Do I just need to use odin to flash the Firmware you mentioned then use ODIN again to flash the patched ap
I can just add that with this specific fw version and patched ap everything worked on LTE version but I might add my little deviations ...
1st original firmware flash (BL,AP,CP,CSC-non-home one) instantly followed by wipe data in recovery mode.
2nd After the initial setup + wifi connection I installed and updated magisk.
3rd "adb restart bootloader" (here i am not sure if it mattered but anyway) and flush again with the provided Patched AP File (BL,the_patched_AP,CSC - the home one this time ... using CP failed with modem err with me so I just skipped it here)
4th get trough the init setup again with wifi on and open magisk which will install more stuff.
The prerequisites still apply oem unlocked bootloader before you start and keep your battery at least 60-70% since the process drained mine a lot.
You know you are on the right track when you have warning with tablet bootloader is unlocked (at startup yellow) and tablet not running Samsung's official software (red after the first one)
Ive just bought this SM-T725 model android 11. There is no sign of OEM Unlock Bootloader under development. Does anyone know how I can unlock this.

The option only shows up when you are connected to the internet.
Thanks for reply mate, I got it figured. I also manage to get root and twrp recovery but not both at the same time. After flashing and using twrp recovery I then lose root after reboot and have to flash a patched magisk bundle over odin again. Bit inconvenient but I only intend using twrp now and then for backup/recovery.
Can you recommend a stable rom for this device - far too much google bloat on it for my liking. I tried latest lineage but found it unstable.

Just install LineageOS. Clean, no Bloat, everything smooth and you can have TWRP and Root/Magisk at the same time.
Depending on how much Google you want to have on your device, you might rather choose LOS+MG ( https://lineage.microg.org/) I can highly recommend it. You get rid of Google which debloats it even more and is a plus for your privacy but almost everything works (at leat for me. But migh depend on your needs)
If you like Google, just use normal LineageOS (https://lineageos.org) + GAPPS
Thanks for reply. Will try the LOS ROM later. Wish Google crap would disappear totally. I hate it enormously.
By the way which folder am I looking for on that LOS ROM download page
Ah gts4lv I presume

Along with Aurora store installed as a service, I think you don't need Google anymore.

You get rid of Google which debloats it even more and is a plus for your privacy but almost everything works (at leat for me. But migh depend on your needs)
If you like Google, just use normal LineageOS (https://lineageos.org) + GAPPS

I'm having some problem here:
I can install LineageOS, I can root/Magisk, I can have TWRP, but not all together at once.
Can you help me on how to do this?
Working on a SM-T725 of course, actually rooted, lineage and TWRP installed, but my Magisk can't install modules, it seems it doens't have root privileges.
Thanks in advance for your answer
anybody have an updated one, the file has been archived on the said link... thanks in advance
I need help please! I flashed a custom kernel using kernel flasher but now it's stuck on the Google logo(Where it loads), I did not disable verity and verification as I did not want to wipe the device( So the problem may lie within it). I am able to get to fastboot but the problem is I do not have a computer at the moment, so I used can use bugjaeger with another device... Usually I have a PC at my disposal and could've have fixed the problem. Sorry for the hindering english.
Note: I manually updated the factory image of April (I was on the April build) but now when press start on the bootloader menu it shows the Google logo and come backs to the fastboot mode. Thank you all in advance.
You're going to need access to a computer to be able to fix that if you don't want to wipe phone

Used android flash... By another device nonetheless. Just a few tweaks and everything was fine. Did not lose any data except root. Not disabling verity and verification can cause a lot of problem.
