In the process of rooting and installing the various apps I screwed up permissions on the /system directory. So i reinstalled the 6.2 base OS. I noticed that my 1 month Prime free trial reset to the day I did the reinstall. Has anyone else seen this behavior. Does it happen on de-register or factory reset or does really require a full OS reinstall?
I've reinstalled from the 6.2 base OS and did a factory reset (which involved deregistering and reregistering). My Prime ending date is unchanged.
Interesting, I definitely know it reset I received an email from Amazon welcoming me to my new prime account. I checked my inbox and found the original prime activation 3 weeks before. Maybe just a glitch, either way I get a free extra month of prime.

Hey all,
I've checked the other threads that are similar, but none of the solutions have worked thus far.
I switched on my tablet after leaving it off for a few days, to have it update about a dozen apps. All but 3 of them updated fine, those 3 would give me a quick "downloading" icon, then revert to still requiring an update. I reset it, and I could update 2 of them, reset again, and I updated the last one. I managed to install 1 new app in that time also, but now can't install any new ones.
This happened once before, but my storage was reporting -.334* mb available, so I figured it was corrupt, did a factory reset and all was fine. This time, everything reports ok, so I'm not sure what to do. Don't want to factory reset again.
Any ideas?
Well, i'm having a huge issue going on the past few days. I wish to start a new account on a game called Knights & Dragons and the developers are of no help at all [it's a GREE game]. Somehow the app keeps loading up my old account and I cant get it to stop. I've tried the following:
Factory reset
Flashing new ROMs and GApps [4.3 and 4.4 ROMs]
Change ID in Titanium Backup
Spoof all info with XPrivacy
Made a new google account completely after all of the above
Formatted and erased completely my SD card through CWM.
Used PDroid to block/spoof info.
Nothing seems working. When I open the app it'll show the "complete tutorial and get so and so" above the loading bar which is fine and dandy but then it goes to update the game and boom. Old account loaded even with the Google Play ID and all Phone infor not only changed but being randomized as well.
On my Note 10.1 all I had to do was flash a new ROM and GApps and it made a new account without me even intending to do it.
I'm so lost so my last ditch resort here is to completely wipe EVERYTHING possible and then get my ROM back up and running, reroot and all that jazz. My question is how do I go about doing so without completely bricking my device? I need to get this new fresh start going here and I don't care if I lose everything as I backed up all stuff already to my laptop.
Any ideas?

Hello!
Please help, this is driving me insane.I've had a galaxy S4 for almost a year now. I had it rooted and ****ed around with it a bit, it was all good. Then I was running low on space and got a disk checker or whatever it's called to show me how my space was being used. A lot of it was in caches. I downloaded a file manager and went on a cache deleting spree. One of the caches I deleted was google. Ever since that day everytime I start my phone:
Samsung Link has stopped
Dropbox has stopped
Google + has stopped
Google search has stopped
The phone in general just worked extremely ****ty.So I decided today that it was time for a factory reset. I run it, all good. The phone restarts in factory settings.. and I get the exact same error messages. ?So I decided that I would do the hard reset. Shut it off, volume up + home + power, wipe/delete all data. EXACT SAME PROBLEM. WHAT?How is that possible? I wipe my phone completely and end up with the same problems? How do I reinstall the OS? Since I'm going to be uninstalling the OS completely (probably the only solution to my problems), is there anyway to get a nice clean OS? And not the one full of bloatware from my carrier? I really just want to start over from a fresh OS.
I also tried just running a software update, but I got the error message 'this phone has been modified and cannot be updated'. I guess that's because it's rooted..
Thank you for your help
Hello people, I am new to this device and forum. I would appreciate any help you can give. I love the device, but I am struggling with something concerning Google Photos. It keeps getting stuck at various points in the backup process. I have searched several ways and have tried the suggestions about uninstalling updates, clearing the data cache, even purchased a new SD card... but still it is stuck. On previous phones, I have had NO problems with this at all on my previous phones. I have updated to MIUI 11 and I am using Nova Pro as my launcher. I have also tried using the Gcam mod on the phone and somehow I wonder if this is part of the issue?
Feedback please.
Solved with MIUI 11. Update and make full reset AFTER update (Settings --> About Phone --> Backup and reset --> Clean all data --> All).
Worked for me. If not, i dont know (try with another account?).

Thanks for the info! So, were you having similar issues before you did the reset? I have already updated to MIUI Global 11.0.4 but I have not tried the reset yet.
To help with this conversation... it seems that if I remove all the Google Photo updates, it behaves correctly, BUT when I allow the app updates to go through, the backup issue returns.
I will try the reset suggestion soon and report back.
To keep this discussion moving along, here is an update... I did the full reset after I had already upgraded to MIUI 11, however, the same issue persists for me. If I allow Google Photos to update past what was originally installed, the app gets stuck again. I can uninstall all updates and clear the caches and it will start working OK again. This is a pain and the issue should not exist. Let me emphasize that the devise is NOT rooted and is all original. I have installed Nova Prime launcher from the Play Store and my usual apps.
Anyone else have ideas - outside rooting and using a custom ROM?
Ok, to add a little more... I removed Nova as I wonder if there is some incompatibility with how it works with MIUI. It was acting a bit odd at times and "often" it would loose its ability to display notification badges. It would say that I needed to enable notification access, but I am 100% sure that it was already allowed. I would then turn that permission off and back on and it would start working again. So, I have gone to the less custome "Poco" launcher which is sup[posed to be a more official Xaiomi product.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A - SM-P580. After trashing everything and starting from scratch, I was finally was able to get Lineage installed- lineage-19.1-20220824-UNOFFICIAL-gtanotexlwifi. When I tried to install MindTheGapps-12.1.0-arm64-20220605_112439, I was greeted with an error (Updater process ended with Error: 1. Error installing zip file etc. etc.). I had originally installed Lineage 19 and had rebooted and then found out app the Google apps install. I initially installed a version of NikGapps. I performed a factory reset from with the OS and reinstalled Lineage and then MindTheGapps, before booting into the OS and got the same error when installing MindTheGapps. I noticed that even after the factory reset from within the OS, it still retained my Google account information. And still at this point, even though I was able to connect to the Internet on my WiFi, I could not access the Internet at all. HELP - before this tablet get skimmed across the water like a flat rock. Thank you!!
Why haven't you posted this in my thread? Barely anyone would see this here. There's a greater chance someone could've helped you in my thread.
The factory reset function in Android's settings might not work, which I'm guessing it wouldn't have in your case. It's untested. Factory resets should be done in recovery.
Can't really help with Google app issues since I don't use them, but you should do a factory reset within recovery, format system, reinstall my build, and then install NikGapps (use the core package by the way, if what you have is a heavier package).

Thank you for the input. I've made some progress and am closing to a working tablet.
I posted in your thread a little while ago. Thanks again!
