Anyone else Android market WORKING unrooted after update 6.2?

Well, I got the update 6.2, it gave me force close errors on youtube and gmail.
However, I can still use the official Android market and re-downloaded both apps and installed them using android market and both work fine again.
I did not re-root, so how come my market is still working and not others?
I can use Amazon videos, all the "bloatware" I erased is back as well.

I installed gmail and framework via .apk without rooting myself previous to 6.2 and it still works post 6.2
I have installed nothing else but dropbox that wasn't on amazon.
I have not rooted.

Weird. For me gmail stopped working, but the android market works fine after update that unrooted me.

Everything still works
Dont know how, because its supposed to unroot, but i still have root...

THe only google app that didn't work for me was the market app. Were you rooted or back to unrooted when you recieved the update? I was unrooted.

I was rooted when i received the update. After update it showed me as unrooted, i click android market and it is still working.
Amazon videos working, had to re-install gmail and youtube to get them working.
I left it unrooted now since everything is working.

Application stopped unexpectedly
I am getting the same thing. I have not updated anything. I have deleted and reinstalled the market app. I have not bothered re rooting. Let me know if anyone come up with a solution.
Maybe there is a differnt apk for the market that will solve this?

Ok, so i was updated. Its automatic. Sneaky Amazon!ADB SHELL in Command line, and i did loose my root. Superone click got my root back no sweat. Tried reinstalling normally, did not work. Tried moving to /data/app and changing permissson and installling..no luck. And ssurprinsingly I FOUND ANOTHER MARKET APP IN MY COLLECTION OF APKs and IT WORKED! THE ORIGINAL ONE (apk) I USED WAS 3.2 MB AND THE ONE THAT WORKED WAS 3.14 HOPE THIS HELPS

[Q] 4.2 Update Failure

Hoping someone can help. After stopping the Google Framework service and clearing data, my 7 will find and download the 4.2 update. When installing the update, at about 25% complete, the Android logo with the red triangle shows up and I have to do a reset to get it to reboot. The update is never found without stopping the framework service. This is a completely stock 7 if it helps.
If this has been answered before I apologize. I did search and didn't see the same issue out there.
Thanks.

You said you are completely stock, meaning you have never unlocked, rooted, installed a custom recovery, frozen apps, etc., correct? Unless you got a bad download it should install just fine. Did you get any sort of error message? That can help determine what failed. Be careful with stopping and clearing the framework settings. You will have to delete your Google account and sign back in to be able to use the Play Store again.

Take a look at the 'Nexus 7 Update Problem' thread in this forum. You may just have to install a factory image for 4.1.2 or 4.2.

The only thing I have done is put in my gmailaccount. Thats it. No error messages just the triangle.
I have deleted my google account and made several resets but with the same outcome.

I had a similar issue, before the update it does a comparison of certain system files and system apk's and if it fails it gives you the red exclamation mark.I ended up talking apart a 4.1.2 factory image and replacing various apk's but i had to install twrp in order to find out which ones were bad.
I wouldnt be to keen to update at this point,other than the multiuser function there really isnt anything of benefit in 4.2.

Same here.
I just got my Nexus 7 back from Asus (again...). Factory reset with 4.1.2. Signed in with my Google account, got the update notification, tried to update after it downloaded, N7 rebooted, started process, Android dead with red triangle. Completely reset to factory specs again, signed in with Google account, stopped all downloads and updates, tried update again, same thing.
I'm going to try one more time by not signing in after another factory reset (if I can...never tried it) and see if that does the trick, but I'm not hopeful.
EDIT: It didn't work. Only other thing I can think of is that I'm plugged into a PC (trickle-charge) and because you have to be plugged in to apply the update, MAYBE it's failing during the install due to lack of full power coming through the charge cable. No other reasons I can think of at this point. Anyone else trying to update while on trickle charge? If so, anyone try on full A/C power?

Are you in the US?
Wondering if it's because I am in a foreing country. :thumbdown:

I got notification out of the blue that the update was available. It failed again. I did a factory data reset hoping that would help. Tried the update again after installing NO apps. Failed again.
Any other suggestions?

I'm having the same issue. I wanted to keep my N7 stock and unrooted, but I may just have to root it and flash the update manually via recovery. It's kinda of a bummer.

I tried with a VPN and didn't work.
I'm still receiving the OTA update and every single time it fails.
Then I tried the recovery mode and didn't work.
I'm quitting on this.

Yes. I had the same issue (similar story to SWBailey), and the only way I could get the update was by flashing Google factory stock 4.2.1.

I have the same problem in Spain, I bougth the tablet (32G) last week. The attach image show you more information about the problem.

same issue, fastboot or root!
i have the same issue... a couple off guys recomended fastboot(doesnt need root as far as i get it)i... i think it might be do to having a 32gb but no 3g version, which i think is only available in countries other than usa... im from serbia for instance im probably gonna end up rooting it and flashing a custom rom

I called to the Asus support, and they sent me an email with the following instructions, I can´t finished all the steps because in the step number 5, the tablet never restarts, Something is wrong. I am going to send the tablet to the seller.
1. If the computer is on, please turn it off.
2. Press the power button volume button (-) and the volume button (+)
at the same time;
3. Press the volume button (-) twice to initiate the procedure "
Recovery "
4 Press power button to select.
5: After you restart the recovery mode hold the button
on and the volume button (+)
6. Use the volume keys to select the option to wipe data / factory reset "and press
the power button to select that option.
7 Scroll down to the Yes option. to clear the data and press the
on to select that option.

Same here...completely stock too! Tried 3 times... :/
If it doesn't work the fourth time, I will try to return it for a new one. Still in my 14 days..

[Q] Unfortunately, Samsung Hub has stopped!!!!!

Hello guys,
In advance, thank you for your time and help. Here's the deal. I am fairly new to the rooting business. I did a root using Towel Root. I had everything correct on my phone( regarding Super SU). I started messing around with Wan am Exposed and some other rooted apps. Long story short I did something do take auto rotate off of my phone completely unless it was forced through(as it is in the Netflix app.) I started to back everything up with the intent to just completely reset everything and start fresh. Well when I did that, I now get the Unfortunately, Samsung Hub has stopped working. It literally pops up again once I hit OK. It is making my phone completely unusable. I believe I may need to re-flash my binaries but I am not 100% sure. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!! :crying:

I have the same problem and it is extremely frustrating because the popup never goes away, it keeps popping back up making the phone useless. I managed to get it to quit by rebooting several times but eventually it comes back. I have rooted the phone with Towelroot but I don't think that is the problem. I have not changed any of the factory apps but I did install and then uninstall a couple of apps that I didn't want. I've read about this problem on other forums so I know others are also experiencing this problem. Hopefully someone with come up with a solution soon.

I think I found an easier way using Titanium Backup. I found Samsung Hub in the list, clicked on it and then hit the highlighted Restore button. It is probably too early to tell if that fixed the problem. If it comes back I will post here.
---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------
Since I started having the Samsung Hub problem, my screen does not rotate. I've looked at everything I can think of to change that back to auto rotate. No luck and I'm assuming it is related to the Samsung Hub problem. Restoring Samsung Hub with Titanium Backup did not fix the problem. So either the auto rotate problem is not related or restore did not work. Anybody know how to get my phone to Auto-Rotate again?

Ok the problem is back.
I tried to uninstall SoftCard and the instant it started uninstalling that app, the "Unfortunately Samsung..etc." came back with continuous loops. I rebooted and now Softcard in downloading from play store??? And the Samsung loops are continuing. I am going to take the battery out and see if that will stop the looping. That worked in the past. This is getting frustrating

I know im kind of late but I figured it out. I updated my Samsung Hub app and it fixed that issue. Unfortantly my phone stopped reconizing my gmail aka i could not use my play store. It kept saying that I needed to check with AT&T to add data to my account, although I know for a fact I have data( I am on the unlomited data plan). Even connected to wi-fi I recived this error. To fix that issue I re-flashed my stock binaries. VHOLA!! All of my headachs were gone.

Just for future reference and my 2¢, I personally think restoring apps is bad practice. For the exact reason you had to reflash. Especially ones that you can just download again, then change a few settings.

Thanks for the info. I've restored the Samsung Hub app a couple of times now and I don't seem to be having anymore problems. If it happens again I will update the app from Play Store

Fingerprint scanner completely stopped working

I have a stock rooted Galaxy s5. For a while now the fingerprint scanner would stop reading fingerprints (nothing would be detected when swiped, no "no match" or "swipe faster" type errors, just no reading at all). This was always fixed by simply rebooting the device. That was until now. After encountering that error again I rebooted the phone. Now it appears to scan the fingerprint but won't match. I've tried all three of the fingers I have registered with the same results. I also can't access the fingerprint manager. When I try to access the fingerprint manager it won't match the fingerprints and says I have the wrong alternative password (which obviously I don't since I was able to bypass the lock screen with it). It does accept the alternate password when I tried to change the password but when I press the last "OK" to change the password it says " an error has occurred with the fingerprint sensor. If this message appears repeatedly, restart your device". I have restarted more than once.
Has anyone experienced anything similar to this? is this a defective sensor? I have unlimited data and had to use a loophole to upgrade to this phone so getting support form verizon might be a bit difficult.

finger print scanner tab s
Hello. You bet i have! Just tonight. I have a rooted samsung tab s, I was receiving the exact error messages that you speak of. Swipe slower, blah blah. Now, my tablet will not offer fingerprint scanner- it just disappeared entirely! And my alternative password says it is incorrect when I know it isnt. It doesnt give me an option to retrieve my password either! So, no fingerprint scanner, and incorrect alt password- im hooped! I cannot get into my 600$ tablet that I am currently using for online courses!
Please, if anyone can help me get into my tablet, I will forever be grateful!
I just installed lollipop, not sure if that would have anything to do with it? Another recent install was inbox gmail.
Please what can I do?

You need to flash the aroma add-on package. From there, try to select/install an add-on that states "finger print(or something close to the term)". That's what i've done.

Annoying install Moto x pure

Model xt1575
I am having some trouble with my moto x pure xt1575. there is an install for an update that pops up on my phone blocking everything i do on it every 10 minutes of the day or even whenever i lock my phone wanting me to install an update that will never be successful. Ive ignored it many times and i just cannot find any way to get rid of it. My phone is rooted and i have no use for this update. please someone help me with this issue. it has became a real problem for me for a week now and i dont want to look at this thing any longer Ive attempted to attach an image to this post. hopefully you can see what pops up on my phone.

attempt #2 to attach an image to the post. hopefully it shows up.

Theres some kind of package update app, like "Motorola OTA" or something in system/apps. I think that you can freeze with titanium backup. That will get rid of the notification, especially if you dont ever want to take an OTA, this is the way to go. I'm on BrokenOS right now and the update crap is already totally removed on their ROM so I can't find the exact name.
Maybe see this thread for the Moto x and look for some of these things. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46927618&postcount=14

Damn
I installed titanium an went to freeze the updater app. It will not do it without a full version of titanium.

Have you tried these three methods?
I do not get update notifications, and truthfully I cannot remember how I stopped mine unless its in the rom I am using that it is blocked by default. I had my rom installed to long to remember.
But try these steps and see if it helps.

I think I did it
I downloaded app quarantine from the play store, set it to advanced settings from the tab on the top right of the apps home page above quarantine, I went back to apps on the home page of the quarantine app and checked Motorola updater then clicked either quarantine or block (mind you there is a tab next to the apps tab on the front page, you cantiss it) it gave me a warning that it will block this app then boom. I can find it on the quarantine tab and I haven't gotten a pop up in 2 hours when the update normally would've blocked all my apps every 10 minutes. I'm happy so far
