Long story short, I uninstall packageinstaller with root and i can't install anything. My Google Play got out dated in my phone and will not install the new update. Factory reset doesn't work because i may have uninstall something important but it will was able to reset the phone data.

Good news is that i can still use it as a cell phone.

Does anyone have a way to put packageinstaller back in my phone?

Also yes i try google but no result on the answer just random websites.

Overview of what i did:
- rooted my phone
- uninstall packageinstaller
- reset phone by factory reset
- nothing online works but calling and text message is still ok.

Answer: I reinstall the stock firmware and it return back to a new phone.

Ok, fair enough. Always best to double check when uninstalling system apps though :)

Providing you have the exact model number, you'll be able to find it here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

You'll also need a piece of software called Odin to install.

@Jfalls63 may be able to help with the reinstall as I'm not overly experienced with Samsung devices
