I have posted this issue on the official Root Call Blocker thread, but after reinstalling the app and trying out a couple different things I have yet to find an answer, so I am wondering if somebody here could potentially have an explanation or workaround. It's easily my favorite root app so hopefully this can be figured out.
Problem: So I am rooted, running Jelly Bean, with SuperSU on my Razr M. When I installed RCB, and opened the program and enabled it, my phone lost any signal at all. I tried the "restart telephony service" option within the app, and it seemed to get a signal for maybe half of a second then completely dropped it again. I rebooted my device a number of times. Uninstalled and reinstalled a couple times. Tried an old version of RCB that I had the apk from on my Droid Pro, but to no avail. It worked perfectly on my Pro, but is not playing nice with the Razr M. The developer mentioned that it may be my SuperSU app that is causing the issues. For kicks, I installed a similar call blocking app by the same developer called Call Master Private Blocker. And upon installation and opening the app, I immediately lost any radio signal at all. So something with both of the apps made by the same dev are not playing nice with my Razr M. Is it the apps? Is it SuperSU? Is it something to do with my root or JB? I'm fairly noobish about anything but hopefully providing enough information so that if anybody has any inkling of an idea, that I can find a way to get this to work. If not, hopefully a future version of RCB addresses the issue if this is indeed the app's issue.
Has anybody out there had the same issue or has anybody has any success in using RCB rooted with the leaked JB?

Anybody run into this problem yet since I first posted this issue? Still not working over here and the dev has not offered any assistance in identifying the problem.

i know this is an old topic.
RCB will kill com.andorid.phone on my phone. has stopped using it since andorid 4.3 has built in blacklist function.
I am not running 4.3, but I am using an old version of RCB. The newer one never worked for me on 4.2.2.

Did you get your phone signal work with RCB? I´m tried ad least five versions, and nothing... Any trick or hope? Thanks a lot...
I'm currently running 1.8.3.27 with few issues. I was never able to get any new version working. I tried again maybe 3 months ago and it just did not work so I went back to the apk I had saved. The dev is extremely confrontational so requests for assistance always led to nowhere. I have not tried the newest version of it, but at this point I've given up updating. If you have already purchased the app, which it sounds like you have, I'll gladly share the apk with you. The only issue I run into on anrare occasion is loss of signal completely. All I have to do is go into the options of RCB and "restart telephony service" and that fixes the issue completely. The dev, while the app is amazing when it works, is a complete jackalope, so I wouldn't hold my breath for a fix if it still isn't working properly.

Firstly congrats. If you're seeing this post, you might have already done so or are trying to flash some custom ROM, which is absolutely ok.
Rather its fun and satisfaction that you keep your device up to date if not possible through official means. Also for some good changes.
Unfortunately, its not completely flawless. There might be some issues which are covered in the further updates of the ROMs.
Among oother small problems, one major problem I faceed when I flashed a custom ROM (actually three) is that the Android Market failed miserably when I initiated it. There were horrible search results. Also the categories were not showing the apps which would otherwise be placed under them.
Fortunately, the Android Market site was open for me which was the last option for me to go on with.
The only solution I could find to this problem was a bit of patience and some really basic info about market.
I tried to re install all the applications that were previously being shown as installed already. Though they showwed "Installed" status but you can install them again.
After a lapse of almost three days, I tried to access the Market app and it was actually accessible with all the search functionalities and EVERYTHING running smooth.
A thing I would like to advise on is try not to wipe out all the data (the 4 wipe out options while flashing) from your device. It might, might help you not to lose data and possibly, the Android Market too.
Have fun.
I've been on a custom rom for greater than a month now and have not experienced any market issues. The only problem that I've ever had was wifi stopped connecting for me. But it was an easy fix. Sorry you've had problems... Perhaps something else is to blame?

Please let me know how did you fixed this issue?
I really need to know because i have the same issue.
I browsed the 14 pages in the development thread and a few in the general. I googled for an answer to my problem, but haven't found anything that has worked.
problem: My Droid X (formerly with VZW) has constantly been loading in safe mode. It was intermittent the past couple weeks or so, but now it only loads in safe mode.
1.I tried: to power down/restart normally-ineffective;
2.power down/remove battery/restart-ineffective;
3.booted phone holding the power button and home screen until alternate screen loads/wiped cache/rebooted normally-ineffective;
4. repeated step 3 boot/performed factory reset/rebooted-rendered ineffective.
History: I cancelled my service prior to contract guidelines. Have been using my phone strictly for wifi the past couple months now. Very recently (past few days) has this safe mode issue been lingering.
Question: Has vzw installed some kind of script that basically disables all cellular usage (except preinstalled apps) if the phone isn't 'free and clear'?
Also, is there ANY possible way I can install a completely different rom so that vzw network can't affect my phone? I just want to keep it for wifi access for calling/net/gaming. Has anyone seen this issue before?
ps - The first person to help me fix this problem so I can use my phone 'free and clear' I will donate at least $25 ! Not sure if that is appropriate to include this here, but I haven't seen anyone actually saying they would pay to get their problem(s) fixed. I am MORE THAN HAPPY to pay someone for his/her time to help me.
I don't want to infringe upon forum rules so I won't include my email or cell#, so I guess the best way to reply for now is either here or pm?
Thank you for all your help! I hope we can rectify this problem.
What u mean safe mode? But try sbfing your phone, root it, and then install a rom. Liberty is a very good rom.

Safe mode. I can't install/run any apps other than preinstalled, which I rarely use.

I would sbf the phone and root it. Then I would install a custom rom. You will be rooted and be able to use the phone a lot more freely.

I sent you a PM so call me and we can work on sbf'ing the phone back to health
I'll let barracudacm work on this with you but I just wanted to add that you should consider installing CM7 instead of a blur based rom to help you escape big red.
Thanks for all the help! Will post when I get it resolved!
Well this is an interesting issue that crept up on me a few days ago. If I go to switch on my Bluetooth, the switch will move to on position but the Bluetooth will remain off. Reboot does nothing.
So after poking around here and there I noticed in tibackup that Bluetooth share 4.2.2 is uninstalled. As soon as I restore it, Bluetooth works again. However somehow it keeps uninstalling itself and I need to repeat the process again before it lets me switch on Bluetooth. I can't figure out the cause of this problem and how it's u installing on its own. Any help and guidance would be appreciated! Thanks
Well I've found that the Bluetooth share uninstalls after a reboot. What is causing this? Permissions issue? Anyone?

So I set up my Wifi only nexus 7 using a mobile hotspot from my phone and everything went okay. But when I got to my home network I was unable to download or update any apps from the play store as I kept getting an error about the package file being invalid. Trying all the trick I could find to fix this.(without using recovery)...
Removed Google account...
Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates on Google play and framework.... Rebooted and still have the problem.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas how to fix this?

I'm having the same issue. Started yesterday. I thought it was the update I was trying to do, but I'm getting it on my Nexus 7 and my GS4. I've tried everything you've tried, and it still isn't downloading the updates to Facebook Messenger or Instagram.
Im having this exact same issue with google apps on the playstore. Cleared cache and data from Google Play and was able to download a few updates but issue still persists. Yesterday my tablet was going crazy saying something to the effect of a UID mismatch and it would just keep looping between that and the boot logo. Reset to factory via TWRP and the error went away but the package file invalid persists. I had been getting various force closes with google framework, launcher...etc fresh out of the box without installing a thing. I really want to like this device but all these errors are making me regret giving my original nexus to my son.
I am having the same issue trying to download the Kindle app over wifi from the play store. I was thinking that I could take the app from my old tablet and then move it to the new tablet. Is there an easy way to do this? Both tablets are rooted.
Thanks, Dennis
I posted this in the thread I made but I have found two solutions to this problem.
1) Install tunnelbear vpn, make an account, and connect to US network.
2) Tether your phone's mobile connection to your tablet. However, I would only do this if you aren't worried about data limits or the app isn't that large.
These two methods have worked for me and I have tried just about everything else. Factory resets, changing DNS settings, clearing data, etc, etc. Nothing like this seems to work since it seems to be a problem on Google's end.
I had this issue but only with one app...
I tethered with my GS3 and it worked

I've tried every "fix" I've seen and nothing works for me: will likely have to wait for a fix from Google. In the meantime, the Amazon app store has many of the same applications and it is not having this issue.
EDIT:
Sideloading also seems unaffected.
I am having the same issue tons of apps not updating. Error 497 and package file is invalid. Also having issues on my Verizon Note 2 my brother on his S4 on Sprint. WTH is going on with Google.

Same issues here. Only thing I can do to get around it is tether to my phone. Driving me crazy. Hoping for a fix soon.
Having this issue for a lot of apps too. I've downloaded quite a few just fine but whenever I go looking for a new one I get this error for things like Google Play Books and Light Flow.
edit: I decided to turn on my phone's hotspot and connect to that instead of my apartment wifi, and it worked then. This is such a strange issue.
Tried both WiFi and my phones tether, no dice when updating hangouts or downloading certain apps. Ughhhh. Such a pain

I guess I should note that I tried other methods first, like clearing data/force stopping Google Play and Google framework services, and then restarting.

This has nothing to do with the nexus 7..

Yep. And in fact, here's the weird part.... On phones if you're having the issue on Wifi, try the download over Celluar and it'll likely work.
Weird stuff.
A list of issues I've read about with KitKat.
Install
If you previously rooted like a monkey (you blindly followed instructions without understanding them), you will probably have issues upgrading - either a brick or an unrooted KitKat.
If you are on KitKat and not rooted, you have no option to root at the present time
Battery
Totally "by feel" but it seems a touch worse to me. No empirical data to back that up. tehcodeman feels his is slightly better.
Applications
Play Store would download 100% of any new app I was trying to install then get stuck. Force stopping store & clearing store cache fixed the issue
USB OTG no longer works. You can use third party apps like StickMount but they require root
Issues with Tap & Pay not working
stock mail client will not start if you swipe its notification up from active display since the KitKat update. See https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6c3888a792 . This is true for me using stock email client to MS Exchange Server.
[*]Phone won't send mms(pic/vid/group) when connected to wifi (Metfanant). I've read there is an issue with Hangouts + Kitkat and MMS on wifi (not droid specific). Some have said using default messenger works. I tested either.
Photo bucket does not work on ART. - Probably many more apps too as this is relatively new to developers.
Root
changing the SQLite db for tether no longer works - you now need to replace the entitlement apk
If you got to KitKat and didn't Slap it first and therefore have no root, you are SOL
Xposed does not work with ART - if you have it installed and try to switch to ART, the phone will reboot but you will still be dalvik.
Cant switch to ART from dalvik - doesn't take: Do you have Xposed installed? If so that's why.
Non-Root
I've read things like foxfi and other tether apps no longer work (except maybe via bluetooth)
Other
More issues (than with 4.2) with connectivity to non VZW carriers.
My Bluetooth connection to my car (VW) drops occasionally (it never did on 4.2). Not often enough to be super annoying but enough that sometimes I think I must be getting a call, email or some other notification. Comes back on its own about 5 seconds later.
BAH! I thought I was posting in Q&A forum - can a mod move it? unless it belongs here.
Almost good enough as a stickie!
fat-fingered and Maxx-ed out.
I don't see how any of those are issues with KitKat in the slightest. Maybe you mean "Limitations with KitKat"?
Also, my battery "feels" better than ever. I used it moderately at work today and had 80% charge at 5pm after unplugging it at 7 this morning.

Its meant to be a list of issues upgrading to, rooting, or applications on KitKat on the Droid Maxx/Ultra phones. If you don't see how the items posted are related to that....
The home key issue is the biggest annoyance for me. I was trying the Aviate launcher and it made it almost unusable.
Many people are reporting Bluetooth issues, particularly after the upgrade with existing devices. Sometimes unpairing and reestablishing the pair fixes the problem. I've done a factory reset and that seems to have fixed almost everything.
I concur about the battery. At best it is the same as before, but it's usually a bit worse - as much as an extra 1% per hour of drain compared with before. It was the same both before and after the factory reset that I did. It may have something to do with Google Play Services - I'm still waiting for the update. But I probably received the last, buggy update right around the time that I updated to KitKat last month. What's weird is that it isn't consistent - some days I end up with 40% battery, some days I end up with 60%, and usage is the same.
The only Play Store issues I've had came after the factory data reset - it took hours to reinstall all of my apps. Otherwise that's been rock-solid for me.
I noticed the Motorola Kit Kat build didn't include the Google Cloud Print app with native Android printing support. The app that's available from the play store doesn't work with the native print functionality, either. However, sideloading the Cloud Print apk pulled from a kit kat Nexus device does work.
It's disappointing that Kit Kat pulled USB OTG support. There are non-root apps like Total Commander+USB plugin or the Nexus Media Importer that can bring back partial support.
Biggest annoyance has been the home button double tap bug. Been playing with various xposed apps to try and override it, but so far not much luck. This needs to be fixed ASAP. I am currently rooted so everything else is fixable via xposed or 3rd party apps (tethering, blue status bar, etc). I've also had some random wakelocks that won't go away without a reboot (last one was the audioMix wakelock) but those aren't consistent so I can't really chalk that up to 4.4 as wakelock problems existed in 4.2.2. Otherwise 4.4 has been pretty good, and I especially like immersion mode (even with the hard buttons having a pulldown status bar is nice when you're running fullscreen games).
I don't use the stock email client - I just use Gmail - but I have read that the stock mail client will not start if you swipe its notification up from active display since the KitKat update. See https://forums.motorola.com/posts/6c3888a792
