[Q] Kies 4.3 update crashing phone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey so I finally decided to update my phone to 4.3, I hooked it up with my computer and updated it through the Samsung Kies wizard. The phone was rooted. For some reason the update completely messed up my phone.
-- Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505--
I am constantly getting a:
The process com.google.process.gapps is no responding.
As a push notification I am getting (coming from Samsung Knox):
An application tried to run system on your device without authorisation. The attempt has been blocked.
(I literally translated this from my local language to English so it might be different)
I have tried disabling and re-enabling downloadmanager, removed cache from google calendar, google chrome, good play, google play services, gmail aswell as disabling all those notifications.
I am also geting a system is not responding error message now and then, same thing for 'picasa uploader" and some other system apps.
I have also removed triangle away and some other apps that were getting the crash report.
Has anyone ever faced this issue?
I really don't want to have to reset my phone, I can't believe an official update through Kies can bring so much trouble...
I can't even back any of my apps up since the phone is constantly crashing...
Thank you in advance!
This is on Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505

[Q] Deleted IM and IMprovider

I have the original Tmobile mytouch. Recently I thought of rooting it. I used universalandroot and rooted the phone. I then though of removing some stock apps which are not used by me. I used titanium app to remove amazon, IM and IMprovider. I was not aware that removal of the last 2 IM related apps causes issues. The mistake I did was I did not even back up these before uninstalling. After removing these I started getting messages which said com.android.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly. This happened each time I tried accessing gmail or any other google app and also while accessing market. I google the problem an read that this can be resolved by going to settings - applications and clearing data from each google related app and then ensuring sync is disabled and then late reenabling the sync. After I tried this, I was able to access gmail but gtalk and contacts still could not be accessed withthe same error. I therefore thought of doing a factoryreset which might bring the original apps back. I did a factory reset and cache wipe from android stock reboot options but when I rebooted the first message I got upon reboot is "com.android.process.gapps stopped unexpectedly". I tried to sign in into my google account to use the phone but am pretty sure the the factory reset has not resolved my problem. I am currently unable to sign in to the phone using the intial google account set up wizard. Everytime I press finish in the wizard, I get "The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". Does this mean my phone has been rendered useles???
Can some expert help me resolve this issue? I am a noob and have committed mistakes and need some help fixing them. The phone current has donut android 1.6 on it.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help and time.
Update - Solved
I have resolved the problem. I flashed the phone with sappimg.nbh which took the phone back to the initial state (android 1.5) and this causes the rooting to be undone and also reinstalls the google apps. i dont see the failures due to gapps not found anymore and all is well.

Help network keep crashing

Hi,
The problem that I have is that everytime I turn on my S4 "Messages" crashes and afterwards "com.android.phone" keeps crashing.
It started when I was on Google Chrome Beta where I got a few crash notifications (I think it was 2, don't remember). I didn't think much about it then, but when I went to the Play Store to install Chrome, where it said it was already installed. Recently I have removed a lot of the bloatware including Chrome on the S4 and nothing happened by it and I have restarted my phone a few times after that. But in the Play Store when I clicked on the uninstall button it got stuck on uninstalling (most likely because it wasn't installed in the first place) and when I restarted my phone thinking it might solve the problem. The whole problem with "Messages" crashing and afterwards "com.android.phone" crashing again and again, started.
Now I have to keep Flight mode turned on or I can't even use my mobile.
I have tried following solutions:
- Wiped Cache & Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
- Reinstalled all the bloatware
- Reinserted SIM card
- Removed sdcard
My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 (XXUAMDM) - Root - Stock rom
I hope someone can help me figure out how to fix this.
I found out what the problem was. I didn't reinstall all the bloatware. I only got the first 20 installed instead of them all. So now it works again.

weird problems

I've been having some problems today with my phone. I've noticed that my Maps has been crashing, and I get this error message for a LOT of different apps: "Unfortunately, X (e.g. Google Play services) has stopped". I tried a restart, which does not seem to have helped. I was also getting some weird error messages about my device being corrupt (I have it encrypted). But yet I can still access it. I am running Android Version: 6.0.1. Google Vanilla Stock OS (Unrooted).
Let me know if there is anything else that I can provide to help.
Did you do any modifications (for example unlocking your bootloader) ? If you did you should just do a factory reset, if you didn't modify your phone you should try an OTA update and see if it fixes your problems, if nothing works and the problems don't stop after some time you should send your phone back to where you bought it from, never modify a phone you didn't break yourself

Galaxy S5, rooted has several issues now:

So my S5 (verizon) is rooted, running the deodexed stock BOK3 ROM with xposed installed but otherwise not much added is having a few issues.
1. Everytime I reboot, I get "Google Play Services has stopped" pop ups excessively. And error codes that "Maps won't run unless Play Services is updated" . Even when updated, if I immediately reboot, I get the same errors. This happens on every reboot.
2. WiFi does not seem to allow data transmission. It says it's connected to the network, but there is no internet activity. This is relatively new.
3 . Snapchat won't log on. Neither with mobile data nor Wifi (which doesn't seem to work).
Any suggestions on what is up with this?
Can I just back up all the systen/data in SS, then factory reset and re-install the ROM from the SD card?
getting the same problem with the Google Play Store not working, android.process.media keeps crashing as well.
The S5 looks to be coming to an end. Loved this phone, but I think I'm going to upgrade to the S8 and switch to the new unlimited plan--now allows hotspot. I get to use the faster LTE Advanced and won't have to go the rooted route.
Hi, I'm new here so be patient please. I have heard nothing but good things about XDA Developers website. May I test this "theory"? My question is I rooted my s5 a few months ago, but when I unrooted root checker said "not rooted" but some apps still think I'm rooted. ?? Help.
