Hi,
I recently went from stock RC33 -> RC29 -> RC33 JFv1.43. However, I found that once I finished the procedure, I could not re-install any of my old apps! (They all got wiped going from RC33 -> RC29 using the DREAIMG.nbh file).
If I go to "My Downloads" in Market, it remembers all the apps I have installed previously, but they show up as 'FREE' instead of 'Installed'. So I click on one, then click the 'Install' button, approve the security dialog. Then I watch the download status, it goes from Starting Download... to Downloading... then I don't even see the usual yellow progress bar, it goes straight to "Download Unsuccessful".
I've only tried a few apps, but so far all the apps I had previously installed cannot install on this newly rooted & wiped phone. I tried installing two random apps I never installed before, and they came in fine.
Mainly I want to install MyBackup from reware because I had backed up a lot of stuff before rooting, and I want to restore it to save me the hassle of reinstalling all my apps.
I tried re-wiping to see if that would help, but no luck, same issue. I've tried with and without a SD card in the phone as well, no difference.
Anyone else have this issue, or have any suggestions to try to fix it?
Thanks
Now this is weird...after waiting a while (it's been a little over 24 hours since rooting), I can now re-install applications. But MyBackup is still failing...and I need that one
Interestingly, My Downloads no longer shows the applications I previously installed before wiping, so maybe I just need to wait a few more days for MyBackup to be cleared out of My Downloads, and then I can reinstall it?
Here's hoping...
Can I use clockworkmod recovery to reflash the 2 part pre rooted ginger 2.3.3 over itself?
I installed it and then used ti backup to make a backup of android market. Then I uninstalled android market thinking that I could restore it from ti backup. Not the case. Now I am stuck with a halfway functioning, older version android market app I found online.
I'm thinking the best way to go about getting things back to "normal" would be to just reflash 2.2.3, however if someone can tell me how to reinstall anrdoid market to fully function again that would be nicer.
Yes you need to reflash. It can be done by the update.zip method. There is also the 4.6.8 update available as a zip file now.
Dont try to tinker with google apps. Most of the time you cannot undo what you did
where can I get the ota zip file? thanks!
I have a somewhat similar problem. Before the OTA update went out, I was running a rooted 2.2.1 with TI. I had removed a few apps that I didn't like, but nothing specifically a "Google App" (unless the "Emergency Alerts" app counts as one of those).
Well, today the update became available for my device and when I went to download and update, it simply restarted my device and said "Update has failed."
Now, when I go into TI, I'm unable to reinstall the Emergency Alerts or even see that it's one of my backed up applications that was removed.
Ideas?

Hi, I recently was on paranoid android and was getting ready to sell my galaxy s4 I9505 so restored a back up I made of the stock rom which was what came on the phone when I bought it.
I restored the back up, but once the phone had booted it was really slow and I kept getting loads of error messages saying different processes had kept failing. The same as in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...restoring-stock-rom-cwm-t2882455#post55566370
I then booted back into recovery and wiped data and dalvik cache, which after rebooting sorted the problem. The device was running smoothly and so I went on downloading my apps from the play store.
But I've since noticed apps like swift key, instagram, whatsapp and snap chat seem to be having issues. I don't have any SD card installed just the phones internal memory, which I have ample space (9GB) but whatsapp won't let me download images.
Snapchat says I need to install an sd before viewing video and Instgram mentions I need an SD before being able to take a picture.
Also the language pack for Swiftkey won't download and when I try and download a theme it says it can't save it.
So it seems there's something wrong with the way it's trying to store certain files. Has anyone else come across this yet?
I'm planning on following the whole unroot process anyway documented here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 which I'm hoping will fix it.
But I wondered if anyone knew what it is that's caused it?

Did you install the stock rom before or have you just restored your old backup?
If I were you, I would clean everything, install the stock sammy firmware (with latest base) and after that restore your backup

No it's not a rom, I just restored my old back up of my OS before I started flashing any custom roms.
I did a factory reset on the phone hoping it might resolve it. Which hasn't, but I'm not sure now if it's got rid of CWM. Would as I can't seem to get it to boot into recovery (it maybe just me not releasing the volume up button at the right time).
Think I'm going to have to flash a clean stock firmware following the unroot process and hope that fixes it.
Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.
I have a Nexus6p that was been freshly wiped and flashed with stock Nougat running latest October build. I signed up for the Google Beta program and immediately got an OTA. I downloaded it and i pressed reboot and install. It said rebooting.... 10, 9 8 etc. When the countdown finished it just stuck at rebooting and nothing happens. I leave it for a minute and think it's going to reboot itself. When I come back after 2 minutes the phone still hasn't rebooted to install so I cleared all the apps from recent apps tray and I opened the update menu again. The update menu said your system is up to date. I checked the storage menu and the ota files were still on my phone because google play services was taking up 1.8gb. I rebooted the phone to recovery and cleared the cache. I also tried using apply update from sd card but it just said sdcard was invalid. I booted back up and the files deleted themselves, and the system update menu still said your system is up to date. I cleared play services data, and unenrolled and reinrolled. I have to redownload the OTA again which is a waste of time and internet. Any idea what happened?
