Hi guys,
I bought my device in China. It comes with baidu preinstalled and no sign of google.
I thought if I rooted it I would be able to install google services and then google play and etc.
I rooted it but when I run the APK for google services, it installs it and when I go to add an account (I tried both "new account and existing") it gives me a error message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
"This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care."
Device details: "Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 SM-T815C"; Android 5.0.1;
I am using the device only with wifi at the moment. is there anyway to get google services, google play installed in this device? please let me know.
thank you!
Can you flash an alternate rom through odin... One for another market that will have everything installed.
any idea for this issue? I have exactly the same problem! thanks!
As above, why don't you just flash an appropriate rom?

Hi, Ashyx, many thanks for your reply. I would very much like to flash an appropriate rom. However I have no idea what to do exactly.
I noticed you just released TWRP 3.0.2-1 for T710, which is my device bought from China.
I am very new in flashing Android tab/phone. As I understood, I need to flash above Recovery into my S2 tab and then install an GAPPS package.
1. root the tablet (I have done)
2. Flash Recovery TWRP 3.0.2-1 into the tab by using Odin
3. Copy a GAPPS into the tab
4. Install the GAPPS by using TWRP Recovery 'install zip' function
Am I right?
Is it possible to just flash an factory Rom which is for UK market S2?
Thank you!

Flashing gapps probably won't work as you need the whole framework.
Go to Sammobile.com and download a suitable Rom and flash with odin. Try Hong Kong.
Make a full backup of yours with twrp first.

Hi Guys,
I'm a I8190 user just rooted with vroot and now i need to install custom recovery either CWM or TWRP.
I have some doubts to be cleared before choosing the one among them.
1. Which one is working perfectly/preferred for SIII Mini ?
2.How can i easily install this to my device (without PC is preferred )
3. How can i shift from CWM to TWRP or viseversa after i installed one among them.
Thanks Guys.

1. Both work well, personally I prefer TWRP.
2. If you have stock recovery, you need to use PC for flash custom recovery via Odin or jOdin.
3. From custom recovery you can easily flash zip file with another recovery.

stick to this when flashing anything:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flashing_Guide_-_Android
also when you flash cm 11 stick to whats written on the developers page novafusion this also means to use twrp recovery for it (currently)
and if the latest nightly doesn't work for you, then try the latest stable that is 23th 3th right now

thanks buddie for that link.
Yeah i read the developers site and read reviews before flashing the ROM.
But as you said if the last stable version is 20140323, the download link is not available as the developer is continuesly updating the ROM.
Can i get the download link from anywhere else ?

So I root my phone and flash twrp. But when I tried to flash the zip file my phone could not get pass the Samsung screen. So I search for solution and disable the xposed installer and get back to the home screen. But that does not solve the problem I still couldn't install the firmware.
My phone is
Samsung Galaxy
S6 G9200ZHU2COJB
5.1.1
So I flash the newest zip file - xposed-v86-sdk22-arm64.zip ( this should be the correct zip ). But now I am stuck on the situation above.
I watched some youtube video about needing a custom rom for the phone to flash xposed firmware but I couldn't find one in xda forum or any other website ( this is an phone bought in Hong Kong, China ). Please provide me some solution if possible. Thank you very much!

As the tittle says. Can I install Android 6 in my s5 mini without rooting? Or unrooting later. I have G800H model. Can I do it with odin? If someone can write the steps for me or paste some tutorial I'll be very grateful!

If you Flash TWRP recovery trough Odin, like it is mentioned in another thread all about flashing, you can install CM13 (which is basically Android 6). You don't have to install SuperSU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...install-twrp-custom-roms-g800f-t3439853/page1
This explains just how you do it, of course you have to flash files specific for G800H and not for G800F if you have the Snapdragon version.

Thanks for answering. I think I screwed up a little. Installed twrp and rooted then I tried to install CM but it failed. I read that the reason is I got an old version of TWRP. So I wiped all but I still have TWRP and rooted. How can I wipe everything? And start as you indicated me? And where can I find a TWRP updated version because I can't find a compatible with S5 mini in the official website.
So many thanks in advance!

Just go to Androidfilehost.com and search for hennymcc than go into his CM13 directory for S5 Mini and download the TWRP there. You can flash it via Odin. Then you don't have to root. Just install CM13 from the same directory. No need to root at all. If you want to, just flash SuperSU which you can find on Google.
If you want to wipe, you can do that in TWRP under the option wipe -> advanced wipe -> and mark data, cache, dalvik cache and system.
Thanks again! I downloaded the recovery you told me. There's just a part that I don't get well:

Doing that I will erase the old recovery and the root? Because It's weird that recovery autodelete itself. Or how I have to do to delete the old recovery and the root? Or if i flash it with odin the new recovery will replace the old one?
Sorry and thanks in advance!

Hi Zocker1304 and anyone else who wants to help. I downloaded the twrp from hennymcc from Androidfilehost.com and flashed with odin but now the recovery is broken. I lost the twrp and the original recovery too. When I try to go to recovery I get this message: Could not do normal boot. And goes to odin mode. What should I do? I'd like to delete everything and put it all again from zero.
Thank you in advance!

Go to advanced tab on Odin and activate Nand erase all. I don't know if that will help, but activate that and than flash Stock again. That will erase everything.

Aaaaaaah you are on Stock right? If you are on Stock:
Flash the TWRP I told you via Odin and right after the flash finished press the buttons to enter recovery. DONT LET IT REBOOT! if it reboots, you have to try again. You have to go into TWRP right after flashing, because otherwise TouchWiz restores the stock recovery. It only does that on the first reboot. Once you were in TWRP, it stays.

There are other recoverys but TWRP works fine and is the best recovery in my opinion. And no, you can flash any zipaligned ROM with the recovery.
Hi guys, my name is Ali Reza. I have a Samsung Galaxy SII I9100. When I first got this phone, I rooted it and wanted to flash a custom recovery to flash ROMs, but I couldn't. I tried everything.
1) Flashable Zip File
2) Odin
3) Flashify and other apps
4) Heimdall Suite
But nothing worked for me
I managed to install CWM Touch Recovery using the kernel for Android 5.1.1 but I can only flash ROMs whose android version is 5.1.1. I want to flash Android 7.1 that is the Lineage OS on my device. For that I require TWRP recovery. I searched for this on all websites. Some say that before flashing TWRP recovery I require TWRP kernel. I searched for the kernel but couldn't find it. Some say that before flashing the latest version, we need to flash the old version, and using that recovery we have to update TWRP to the latest version. I tried that but I failed. Plz help me install TWRP on my device or plz provide me the kernel for android 7.1.1. Thank You

Have you tried unchecking the "reboot" option in odin when flashing twrp and then manually power off and boot directly to recovery with 3 buttons combo? Make sure you boot first to twrp rather than android. Tell if it worked
