I don't really know what's going on and was hoping others may have come across this (although I didn't really see other threads on it). After updating to 4.3 and rooting I tried to uninstall root checker. It instantly restarted the phone after I confirmed I wanted to uninstall it. I try it again and the same thing. I try uninstalling another app and it restarts again. I try uninstalling from the play store and it restarts too. The apps never uninstall either.
Does anyone know of a fix other than flashing the stock image and starting from scratch?
Yeah you may have to reflash the image, the crash is so bad that it is not the system server crashing.
Maybe bad files.

Hey all,
Everytime I root my 1.2 device with manual nooter 4.5.6 (haven't tried .18), I get one download out of the Android Market. After that the Market.apk disappears from the system/app directory and I can no longer download apps. The end result of this is that I'm pretty much hosed. I've tried putting SU File Manager on to sideload apps, but it can't installed BusyBox because of the market problem, so no luck with that. I've reproduced this issue at least half a dozen times, using CWR to delete all the user data, re-registering the stock install, and then rooting again.
At this point I'm staying stock until I feel confident I can download more than one app from the market on a rooted device.
So, has anyone else experience anything like this, and if so, is there a solution?
I have this same problem. No solution yet.
It may be related to a download directory bug which has been fixed. I updated to MN4.5.18 over 4.5.6. Everything worked well untill a recent update to 4.5.25. The market crashed again. This issue seems not solved yet. So I had to flash back 4.5.18.
Same here - .18 works very well once you figure out you have to uninstall the apps that want to update and then reinstall clean to remove the chance of bootloops. I was considering doing a complete wipe again and flashing .25, but I've decided to stick it out with .18 until they get squared away.
Overall, MN4.5.18 kicks ass for all intents and purposes, and I'd suggest moving up to that.

Can you elaborate on this?
Can ANYONE elaborate on this
I think this issue started with .602, but I'm not certain. After wiping the phone (and yes backup was always checked off) my apps once installed from the market do not redownload. Some that were installed dont show up on the web version of the market either. Did something break in the second GB update and was there ever a solution for this?
It had been reported to Google. No fix yet.

Apparently, the app download routine "quietly" crashes in the background, and subsequent apps don't restore.

I've had my G2 for a few months now, no problems. Earlier today i noticed that it wont update my apps or i cant download new ones. its just constantly stuck in the starting download stage, never actually starts downloading.
I've tried:
force closing the play store app
clearing the cache and data from the app
signing out of hangouts then back in (read that might help)
restarting phone, and powering off then back on
I am out of ideas. anyone have any suggestions?
I am having tg the same problem. Started earlier today. My guess is it's a problem with the market. Hopefully fixed soon.

ROM upgrade.
I have had this issue in the past and found updating the kernel from the custom rom's stock kernel to another kernel(furnace, paek, etc.) has worked for me.
I'm just on the stock LG rom, I've rooted, but that's all I've done. So not sure how to update the kernel.
Get a custom recovery like can or twrp, then look for a kernel compatible with your device

So me being stupid as usual, I uninstalled system apps without backing up my system partition... After uninstalling a few, it was ok, but when I got to trying to uninstall the Amazon Kindle app, system app remover seemed to fail at removing it and it installed back as soon as Id uninstall it. Not really knowing what was wrong, I used TB to uninstall it and my phone proceeded to reboot as soon as I clicked uninstall. The app remained on my phone and my phone became very laggy.. Freezing the app helped a lot, but I think this caused other issues over time. Eventually the phone will freeze entirely and reboot. Attempting to uninstall it from anywhere (Play store, system settings, TB) results in crashing as well even when its frozen.
What im wondering is if I should flash a rom, flash the Kdz, or just flash a clean system.img if someone could supply it... I have no idea what will fix this...
Hi All,
So I'm facing this weird issue, where my app updates from the Google Play Store don't seem to stick.
I started having this problem when I was using LOS, and I thought maybe the ROM was the issue. But then, I switched to OOS, same thing.
An app will update and play store will show all apps updated. Then after a few hours the app will update again, and then once more. Usually the update sticks after the third update.
Also, even though I haven't kept a log, but it doesn't seem specific to some apps, it appears to be the case with all apps.
I use Magisk for Titanium Backup. But nothing else.
Also, I thought this was an issue with apps restored with Titanium Backup, but that isn't the case.
PS: I haven't tried without Magisk, as I wouldn't want to use the phone without that.
Any ideas?

Currently using Magisk on OOS and I do not have this issue, so root isn't the issue. I think it may have to do with the play store itself, as it doesn't seem to actually update the apps until the third time like you said. The only two solutions I can come up with are as followed:
1. Hold down on the play store app and clear the data on it and then disable the app (Make sure the option to go back to the factory version comes up after you press disable) and then re-enable the app again. Open it and see what happens afterwards. The idea is to get the play store to re-update itself and fix the issue.
2. Get on a computer and fastboot flash OOS again and see if it persists after you get your phone set up again.
