Hi,
I've flashed already different versions of the Andromadus JellyBean test builds (also latest 107) followed by GAPPS (JB version of 26 July) as indicated.
Phone afterwards works correctly but Google Play Store is missing.
Please advise what could be a solution to this problem?
Thanks for your help!
I would recommend flashing an older Google Application Pack should you require the Play Store soon.
You can download it from the web...just google it

I've tried a ICS GAPPS but that didn't work either. It actually generated errors.
when I go to the google play store on the website, all apps are displayed as installed but only a few are actually visible to me.
Any more hints are very welcome!
you can try to install via adb
Code:
adb install c:/apps/Gplay3.8.17.apk
*replace c:/apps to where the .apk is on your computer
here is a link to play
its been a while but you may need to push it like this:
Code:
adb push app /system/sd/Gplay3.8.17
cant remember if there is a file explorer in the latest jb builds, but if there is you could download it from sd card
can use terminal emulator to install (but i dont think there is one right out of the box in the build)
you could unpack the rom and add the .apk to system>app
then you will have to remember to sign the .zip or toggle off the sign check in recovery.
pretty much there are a lot of ways, just get creative!
thanks! the install via adb worked perfrectly and google play store was immediately active.
Unfortunately, now it crashes. Rebooting to see whether this will help.
And indeed, rebooting did the job! Thanks, guys, for the quick follow-up!
Also, this is actually a suggestion rather than an answer to the question, however, I would recommend that you refrain utilize the Test Builds as daily drivers until a stable build is created.

Thanks for the hint. I actually only try a version every now and again.
And I must admit they're remarkably stable and fast. So quite happy currently!:cyclops:
I received a version of the zenfone 2 ZE551ML without the google play store. Can someone help me figure out how to install it?
try it now: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B1MstkwW0vJ7ZU9ORTg0c2lWalU/edit
Just want to check what this is before installing it.
Phone is currently bricked in an effort to root. Any advice?

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.
I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.

google installer
so many people told about many things, but no one gave easy solution......I just installed Google installer_1.3_9.apk...thats it...now I can access google items in my Asus Zenphone 551ml...
A lot of people keep asking how to install Safestrap so i will put it all here.
This only works for 4.6.x versions of FireOS
#ROOT
step1: Download KingRoot http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/general/root-4-6-1-unlocked-gsm-phone-t3104621
step2: install the apk
step3: press the big button icon in the middle of the screen and wait for the process to complete.
note: (Latest version will be in english, 4.0 is in chinese i believe).
#Safestrap
Step1: now that you are rooted, download safestrap http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/recovery-safestrap-v4-0-1-t3149888
Step2: install like any other apk you download.
Step3: open application and grant it root access when it prompts you.
Step4: once you follow the instructions and install safestrap you can now reboot your device to access recovery
#Accessing recovery:
once safestrap is successfully installed, on boot you should be prompted with a choice of recovery or continue at the bottom of the screen, clicking recovery will get you into the safestrap recovery, everything is touch enabled.
#Installing CM11 (Please backup your contacts before continuing if you have no other way of getting them back)
Step1: Simply download the necessary files here http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/rom-cm-11-20150706-unofficial-t3151443
There is also the alternative SlimKat rom here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-phone/development/rom-slimkat-safestrap-v4-2015-08-28-t3188787
Step2: reboot into safestrap recovery
(For those that wish to backup their FireOS incase they want to go back for any reason)
step2.1: Select Backup
step2.2: Swipe the circle at the buttom of the screen
step2.3: once the process has completed go back to the main screen
(Continuing installation of CM11)
Step3: select the wipe button in RED
step4: swipe the circle at the bottom as instructed to factory reset (NO PERSONAL DATA WILL BE LOST )
step5: go back(button is on the lower right on the screen for those without softkeys)
step6: select the install button in RED
step7: find the folder in which the downloaded CM11 zip is stored
step8: Select the file
step9: Swipe the circle on the button as instructed to confirm flash
step10: wait for process to complete then reboot
You now have CM11 :good:

Download a GAPPS zip file and flash it from safestrap recovery just like you did with the CM11 zip file.
You will have Play Store available after that: continue downloading your favorite browser and apps through the store.

I've gotten my Fire phone rooted, safestrapped, and running CM11.
Just one comment: the linked version of Kingroot is Chinese only. Get the rooting program from here: http://androidxda.com/download-kingroot-application
It took me several tries to gain root, so be patient.
How do I remove Safestrap if I don't want it anymore? I understand flashing a stock ROM, but Safestrap is a different sort of beast.
root/safestrap/CM11
Got ATT fire phone unlocked - on 4.6.1 and it just updated it self to 4.6.4 - got 4.6.1 / king root 4.5 / safestrap / CM11 and the google play store install files and attempted the following:
- under both 4.6.1 & 4.6.4 the play store would not work - only the initial run before it updates itself to a the current version - kind a killer for me can't get easily contacts etc.
- installed king root 4.5 - works on 4.6.4
- installed safestrap - works on 4.6.4
- backed up the phone
- flashed 4.6.1 - worked - have not tried older version - have not saerched for one yet
- flashed CM11 - worked - but no camera app works on this thing - the build in one can't take a single good picture / flash doesn't work - it is too slow too much flash flash pictures are all white - the google one can't switch to video mode - the camera fx one works ok without flash - have not tried with flash - video is not accessible - says not supported switch to video mode - a better camera doesn't work either
Next step would be try and remove the king root and use Super SU - didn't not like what I'm reading about king root.
cheers
So what next?
I have Fire OS 4.6.4 and used Kingroot to root it then installed supersu. I want to get CM11 but not sure how to flash to 4.6.1
Any help?

You don't need 4.6.1, Safestrap and CM-11 will work with Fire OS 4.6.4.
ooops... didn't see that I should be safestrapping on top of 4.6.1. Currently running CM11 8/29 build on top of 4.6.3... haven't noticed any issues, camera, play store, etc all seems to be working. Granted this is just a backup phone and has not be put through the ringer. What issues should I expect to see, any issues I should try to reproduce??? Don't mind being the guinea pig here.

As of now the biggest issues seem to be camera, 5ghz WiFi and play store crashes. There are other bugs but check the cm11 post in the developer section to see what's going on.
Thanks a lot. Can the mods make this a sticky?
Several people are going to be looking for this after the ebay deal on the Fire phones. I'm surprised there isn't already a sticky.

Just wondering if anybody has tried it since there are no posts. I wanted to see if anybody knew the changes.
They started rolling out, Amazon hasn't published download links yet (in case s#it hits the fan), so we will have to wait a little bit longer for qualified answers...
I have no intent to install on my device, but let's see what the changelog will tell us.
edit: BIN file download is available... Thanks to russy23 & wjchen0 for posting the updates. :good:
(Just got home from work and saw the links, nice work.)
I hope the update has a patch for the mms bug called Stagefright.
not sure about the changelog, but this page has the updates
http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201607550
Well, after the update a warning symbol with the message "Error" appears to the screen.
Now if I try to turn on the device it boots in the recovery mode and nowhere else.
Thx Amazon -.-

The Bug is possible only with the processing of mms information by Hangouts.
The Fire Phone, doesn't have Hangouts, so it probably wont be infected by the malware.

It's not just hangouts that was affected by stagefright. Stock messaging, Facebook Messenger and whatsapp could also trigger it. To my understanding.

Updated the 461013820 rom to 463001420 without any problem. non-rooted device with google play store installed.
The latest software version includes bug fixes.
this is what Amazon said about the new update, well i have to say more:
They fixed the bug of the AID Mode during the call, FINALLY!
They improved battery life. I say this because i've noticed a little improvement on the battery life.
They didn't fixed the bug of the headphone (When you disconnect the headphone while you are listening something such as Youtube, Music etc. If you replug the jack, It doesn't work anymore until you restart the device )
Did someone find anything else?
4.6.3 just being installed on my UK O2-locked Fire Phone (463001420). Looks like the download link is already up on Amazon UK - http://fire-phone-updates.s3.amazon...update-fire-phone-33.4.6.3_user_463001420.bin
I guess my phone tried to update last night... I woke up with my phone stuck in recovery, just continues to boot there... factory reset did not fix.
Help!!
if you are rooted, do you just loose root? Re-root after the update? Thanks.
Just got the OTA update not a big file at all
Installed the google apps..and so far so good
So for those who are wondering, after sideloading through adb, I was able to reroot using kingsroot and was also able to install safetrap and use it.
Any noticible changes??

thanks for the link. I noticed the 4.6.3 update is only for the unlocked version, while the AT&T version is still 4.6.1. When Amazon released the previous 4.6.1 update, they released versions for both AT&T and unlocked. Weird.
Same issue as ediebol reported. Stuck in Recovery. I've done the wipe and reset with no luck. Attempting to sideload, I get the * cannot read update.bin * error in ADB. File is copied to the ADB directory so it shouldn't have any issues finding it.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Well, the February OTA just barely started rolling out yesterday, so you have to give it a week or two at least. There may be nothing wrong at all, you just have to wait for it (patiently)
You can force the OTA to be received by going to Settings > Apps> see all > Press on the three dots on the top and select "show system" > Google Services Framework > Storage > Clear Data
Then reboot your device and wait for few minutes and you will receive it ?
