Help needed! Can't install downloaded apps on S8600 Wave III

Hi all.
after successfully unbricking my wave III (S8600) thanks to a RIFF box, I'm now facing difficulties to install apps and games downloaded from internet (samsung apps market is not available for my country).
I would highly appreciate if someone could help with some advice. Already tried spoofing guides, but the process gives errors.
Please help me to install apps via usb/memory card or access samsung apps market.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Genci

Which error are you getting from samsungapps ?
and are your also tried samsungapps from Samsung Kies ?

Samsung app store is available in all countries.
The problem with samsung apps is that they are basically crap.
To make it work just create a new account with new email.Thats it.

samsung apps says is limited for your country. it ready my country automatically as not in the list of countries for which samsung apps is available (I live in Albania).
couldn't find how to use through kies. can you post some instructions?
Thanks!

if not support
Then download and install Samsun Kies to your PC
Go to samsungapps choose other country (which one you want) and register
Connect your phone to PC with USB cable
Download apps,games enjoy

Thanks for your instructions. I tried once with Kies but no option to access Samsungapps.
Anyways, I will reinstall Kies and try again.
Thanks

Did it...
Had to do the registry hack to change region and then manually replace the appstore plugin.
also solved the spoofing... was missing a step
thanks to all!
for me: Case closed!

[Q] Cannot download Apps

Hi friends
at this first, i need to say that my English is not good, cause its not my first or even second language XD
So ... sorry for my bad English.
I bought this phone yesterday (i9190)(4.2.2)
everything is ok, but i have a problem.
i cant download any apps on blackmarth, apptoide or our Official market "Baazar" and I have this limit to Galaxy apps and google play market. For reasons, our country cannot access Google play market, so i only have "Galaxy Apps" market for download apps. and i think you know that Galaxy apps does not contain all apps we need.
Ohh... i forget that to say i rooted phone and freezed (!!?) knox apps and its staffs.
and one other thing... that i can install apps manually from phone's file manager or ES or etc... (I 've been a nexus user, and know that should check "Unknown source" in security settings.)
it says "Failed to download [app]" on notification bar before start download
or throw error: " Parse error There was a problem while parsing the package. " after finishing download.
i think its a security option that Samsung put on his Roms.
now i want to know , is there any way to disable this ..... security option .. and download/install apps freely? (At least from our official market!)
i dont want to flash CM based roms or MIUI.
again, sorry for my bad English.
any idea?

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...

How is it bricked, can you elaborate?
Sent from my Nexus 7

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.

Samsung Galaxy Note II - How to play Pokemon Go

Hello every body,
Today, I want to play Pokemon Go on my smartphone but i can't play it because i can't install it.
I go to CHPlay and search Pokemon Go I see it but Google Play notification the game not availability this device.
Help me please, How to play Pokemon Go on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ?

sideload the apk from apkmirror

http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/nianti...lease/pokemon-go-0-35-0-android-apk-download/ Heres the link if you want..

just curious... can still sideload? i tried but it doesn't let me select any Google account. just tries to load and load. i did a permanent root and still the same. using ARHD ROM.

The model isn't the only problem. Pokemon Go doesn't run in Rooted devices. There is a way of hiding that you are root (rootCloack app through Xposed framework) to the app, but after that, the mobile phone model problem persist because the app knows the model of your phone

Go to settings/app and clear data from Galaxy app store, see if that fixes it.

thanks for reply.
I cleared cache , data and same error
also samsung is forcing kid installer on galaxy app if you use update all so everything is manual update

Same same
Any updates on this? As Galaxy Store also requires the update, all my Samsung apps that also require updates are busted.
I'm living in China with my US s9+. Wondering if others are in similar situation?

I've installed an OneUI port on my Galaxy J7 (2016) phone that had Galaxy apps but no Galaxy Store, so I went ahead and installed it via an apk mirror and I got the same errors. I attempted to make the Galaxy Store a system app but it didn't change a thing. I've also noticed the app understands it has been quote "...downloaded from package installer" so I'm guessing that's the reason the app isn't updating itself either. Should I maybe try to flash it somehow instead of installing by apk? Anyone has a fix for this weird error? Is it even possible in my situation?

Me again!
I managed to fix my problem by installing the apk of the latest Galaxy Store and making it a system app. The app proceded to update everything successfully, hope this helps anyone!
