Hi, i have a Zebra TC51 and nothing i tried would let me access the device with a GMA rom as it siad the device had been reset and demanded i signed in with a Google Account previously linked to the device which i dont have, i tried flashing Marshmallow and Nougat roms, Ent reset and Factory reset zips but it always wanted the linked Google account.
I cannot find a way to wipe the data its storing about previous accounts :/
I flashed a non GMA Marshmallow rom and i was in but now im struggling to get google apps running on it
The majority of things i need on it i can get APK files for and dont need access to the play store but i need the play store and Google play services to be able to run Chrome and Youtube ect but every APK i try results in the dreaded Google play services have stopped running message popping up non stop.
Does anyone know of files which will work?
I have searched for TWRP for this device and cannot find it, the Factory recovery does allow Update from SD card and also ADB, can GAPPS be installed though a stock recovery?

Hi there
I hope someone can help me or give me a pointer. The short story is that Google Play has reverted to the Android Market (v2.3.4) and I can't download anything from the Market.
The longer story is this...
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2, bought sim-free over a year ago, running Android 2.3.3. Yesterday I had a problem with Google Play not being able to download some apps. This was clearly wrong: I had 1.5GB free of 16GB. In the course of trying to fix this (ha!), and trying to find recovery mode, I borked the device further. Google Play reverted to Android Market v2.3.4, and some apps got messed up in random ways and consistently crashed. I uninstalled some of the crashing apps, but I still cannot download anything from the Market in order to reinstall them.
I've cleared cache and cleared data for various apps and services: Market, Download Manager, Google Play Services (odd that that's still there), Google Services Framework, and maybe some others.
The problem with the Market is that when I touch to download an app it readies itself for the download (moving diagonal lines on the progress bar) and then the progress bar disappears as if it's finished. There is no download, and certainly no install, but no error message either. On the other hand my web-based Google Play account says I've just downloaded it. And meanwhile my web-based Google Play account says there are no devices associated with my account.
Given the situation with Market, I can't even download something like MarketFixer which may help. I can sideload apks, but I can't find a (legitimate-looking) apk like MarketFixer to download.
I've never rooted my device, so I don't expect to have to do that to fix this. Before do a factory reset, does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks
Nik
Update: Solved in thread below
ah darn!! i thought i could help you, up until the point where you said you didn't root . If you rooted then you could just install the latest version of google play

Thanks for even thinking of that, dragid10.
Hmm... theoretically, if I routed, where would I get the latest version of Google Play from? I can't access the Market, after all.
There are a few threads in the apps forum here on XDA one is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932489
I also don't think you need to be rooted to install it. Just make sure you turn on unknown sources from settings(either under applications or security)
Also have you tried uninstalling updates for the market or removing your Google account from your phone and re-adding it.
Edit:Updated thread URL original one was a closed thread.

nsmith4, thank you. That's moved me a bit forward. I couldn't find a Google Play apk, and now I've got Google Play back on my device, and the web version of Google Play knows about my device again.
(I did try to delete my Google account and it refused me. It said it was needed by some applications and should do a factory reset instead!)
So now it seems I'm back to my original problem: I (still) can't download any apps from Google Play because it says (wrongly) there's insufficient space on device. I shall keep looking for an apk of MarketFixer or similar. This problem is now the same as the one reported here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1436188
although of course I cannot download MarketFix to help me fix the market.
Update: That install of Google Play didn't stick. When I rebooted the phone it took me through the Android initiation process (asked for Google username and password) and Market was back in place of Play.
Looks like a problem with factory resetting every time you restart. That is a bigger problem. Google Play will automatically update itself (all update to com.android.vending will).
Try taking the ICS update (if you haven't already), you need a fresh install of the OS. Or you can root and install a ROM. Same thing

You say you "borked the device further". The question is, what happened? What did you do, and what got borked, in what way? If you don't even know, then it will be difficult or impossible to repair. The easiest and fastest solution will be to install a fresh ROM, like Gagdude said.

gagdude, post-mortem: No, I didn't keep a careful record of what I did. The "borking" is a combination of the problems listed above. I'm going to do a factory reset and upgrade to ICS, as suggested, thanks. Will keep you posted.
Mid-point update: Successfully factory reset my phone (Volume up + Power on, factory reset, then reboot). Now my SIM card isn't recognised (sigh).
The same problem, but with a different device, is here:

Thanks to all on these forums (not just this thread) for sharing their experiences.
Ok so probably Im way out my league here but I have rooted my NT (via A Wertz method on here). I have amazon app store and googleplay. Seems like I can download every single app except messenger. I can get IMO, ebuddy, etc. When I go to google play it says "app is not compatible with your device".. If I download from the browser it will download an .exe file but then errors to nothing to read the file.
Any ideas what Im possible doing wrong here?
Maybe I never needed to root it at all. Could there have been away to just get amazonapp store without?
TIA
Need to install a thrid party rom like CM7/9/10 or any of the spinoff ones to get full access to the playstore.

Hello I am new to this forum,
I have a Rooted Galaxy S4 Mini, and I had a custom patch of the Play Store installed, but I just hated the icon and didnt notice any difference between the custom patch and the original version of the Play Store so I decided to go back to the original one and uninstalled the Custom one and installed the regular play store and when I did, I opened it and it started loading and showed me the Terms of Service once more but suddenly the little window with the Terms disappeared and the Play Store froze. Soon after it just crashed and a message saying it had stopped appeared. And this just repeats itself everytime I try to open it, It wont even let me tap accept or decline. I tried installing previous versions of the Play store and the same thing happens, tried clearing cache & data and reboot, didnt work, tried clear cache, data, then force stop and reboot and got nothing. tried doing this to Google Play Services, services framework and play store, nothing. I even tried uninstalling updates of Google Play services and all of this steps again. But nothing. And yes, my download manager is enabled. I was so desperate I decided to back everything up with Titanium backup and then I did a factory reset. When it turned on and I configured it, there was no Play Store in my apps. So I manually installed ES File Explorer and Titanium backup to restore my phone and my backup wasnt there unfortunately so I installed Play Store manually too and I got the same error! And now I got to personalize everything again and download all the stuff I had back in so it would be nice to at least get the Play Store working again, please help me!
Sorry for long post please give me some of your time and help me
Thanks
Hi Toby,
Welcome! Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This forum is specifically for the Galaxy S4, Verizon version. If you go back to forums, you can look through the list and find a forum closer to your model.
That being said, I am not sure where this post should go. Maybe a moderator can point that out...
If no one comes to your aid, PM me and I'll send you a link to a Google Play Store zip file to install.

Play store
Hello, I spent couple hrs last night trying to get the play store, I used Android cowboys way, the other way in this forum and yours. All not linked to a comp. Android cowboys with apks would show no connection after email log in, the other method in this forum worked briefly putting things in the priv-app., then went into a constant load white screen. Your method would not get past the email load page. Before each attempt I deleted the previous.. Feeling defeated I did a hard reset on the 4th gen Kindle.. Well, it reloaded with no es file manager, not your app but still had root, king user, and google play store, click the store and it works perfectly. Not sure what happen during the reset but thanks, the desired result was achieved.

What most likely happened was the /data/data information still existed when you removed the old ones. Mine are installed to system. So what a factory reset did was get rid of that previous /data stuff. Glad it got squared away

Was thinking the same, may be a option for people who have tinkered with this before finding your app. I was surprised to see the root survive a reset..

Yeah root is installed to system also. But some are using systemappmover to move the apks to system. Which will cause some problems if using my tool after that. Might need to figure out a way to detect and remove old ones. Not sure if I will be able to

I tried installing google apks before, some guide i followed. But didnt succeed so uninstalled. I even did a reset on it today and tried installing but same.
When doing adb install apk I get "Install_failed_older_sdk"
Good app, I have lots of gapps running now, sideload on some then they updated OK, but need google play services 7.3, I can get it to update so need to sideload it.

Does anyone have a gmail apk that will work with this. It keeps saying that google play services needs to be updated
Out of Space msg with Play Store update
I used this tool to install gapps. @bibikalka says here we can now update play store and services, but when i try to update play store I get message: "Out of Space - Google Play store couldn't be installed. Free up some space and try again."
I have 2+ Gb free space. I've heard of this happening and being unrelated to space, but can't track down the problem. Does your tool move or rename something that could cause this? Any ideas how to fix? thx
EDIT: OS 4.5.3
EDIT: So I brilliantly uninstalled playstore, then got the out of space message when i tried to reinstall (both older and new versions). So restored from TI backup and now playstore won't open at all, just crashes back to wherever i start it from.
EDIT3: ok, so I was in denial about space left in /system. :silly: Moved some stuff out and now store loads again, but still get "out of space" when i try to update.

Awesome!!! Looks like you are a great candidate for 4.5.4 !!! It's actually very simple to get to a good place with a modified 4.5.4, supersu.zip installable via TWRP, and JMZ tool. I was scared of the update and that setting up things again would be hard, but the bricking episode showed me how easy it is If you insist, you can reflash a modified 4.5.3, this way you'd go back to where you were. This is probably 30 min of your time, to do all of this.
All your stuff in /data will be kept. You'll want to go to /data/apps and remove those 2 dummy directories that JMZ tool puts there to block GAPPS updates. This way GAPPS could update, but start with the playstore first.
I did get a similar "out of space" message on 4.5.3 when I played with GAPPS a lot. It has something to do with odex files or perhaps some other stuff. Not a fun message to deal with.

lol . . . (You really are very funny!) Anyway, I was planning to update to 4.5.4 for the very reason of no-hassle Gapps. Then saw your post about current play services/store working--apparently with 4.5.3 since guy you replied to had that OS--and got sidetracked.

Thanks, that's the info I was asking for. After fair amount of messing with this, I'm back to the original problem with 4.5.3 and latest play services and store: Play store won't load; just get white screen and spinner. So now off to do 4.5.4 update!

Hi I'm new here. A few questions for you. Does this require root? My understanding is that the newest version can't be rooted. Is this true? Also will this allow me to install the google play store and run any app from the play store?

Problem with playstore
Hi, my playstore stopped working, I open it and it is in blank, so I tried to install it again, but it disappeared from my device. I have a Kindle Fire HD 6 with King root, could you help me with this? Thanks
First, please forgive my lack of knowledge in this area and I truly thank you for taking the time to read my post. My problems were caused when an idiot friend of mine rooted my gpad 8.0 and went on a deleting spree. He totally removed anything with the name "google" as well as a host of other things I don't even know of. Here's my major issues...
1) All Google service including the play store app was deleted so I tried using the play store website which only says "no device found" or "you don't have any devices."
2) When I try adding any type of account to tablet I get box stating "Unfortunately unified EULA has stopped."
3) When I try opening files to help me fix the problem I only get a box reading "cannot open file" or "not supported."
I have done the factory reset and it does not help restore any of the removed items. Am I fighting a losing battle or or is there a way to put the google functions back into it?

All you have to do is install Gapps on your device.
There are many Gapps packages(Google apps) from basic to full function Gapps.
You can visit the opengapps website and download Gapps package you require and flash then using recovery.(assuming you have root and a custom recover installed)
Unlike others apps you cannot install Google apps from apk( apps like Google play store and play servics)
I'm pretty sure this will solve your problem
Please thank this post if this helps you my goal is to become the youngest senior developer on XDA.
Thank you, I should have mentioned there is no recovery installed on the tablet. In the days since I posted my question I did install Gapps but I haven't been able to do anything with it.

That's fine, then the safest way, is to install a stock recovery image of you stock OS. This will be available on your devise's forum. After acquiring the file, you'll need to reboot into Download Mode and install it.(there are different methods for different brands, you can surely find how to install a stock recovery,on your devise's forum.)
Please note that this will erase everything on your device, so consider taking a backup before restoring stock image. This WILL definitely fix it.
