I started setting up my Mojo, followed the steps to update the firmware, root, etc...
I noticed after the firmware update that I could no longer open the Tegrazone app or the Software Upgrade app (it gives me the "Unfortunately, [app] has stopped." error). Okay, weird, but I thought I would continue with the steps (my reasoning being that there was probably an update or something needed).
After getting everything rooted, updated, and lookin' good, I decided I'd check out the Tegrazone again; I still can't open it. This also happens with the Software Upgrade app - and since it is what I was directed to use to update the firmware, I can't try downgrading or re-flashing. (This also happened with Chrome when I had it installed, and the Play Music app.)
I decided I would do a factory reset - maybe I just installed something that was being weird. After doing a factory reset, signing in to my google account, I immediately tried the trouble apps again; same result.
So another factory reset, this time I didn't sign into google account or connect to wifi at all. Tried the apps; same result again.
So with it in factory default mode, the only change being that the firmware is updated to MO0202-WW, it would seem to be something caused by the firmware update.
I am kind of out of ideas; can I re-update the firmware over usb from my pc? I'm comfortable doing so, but I haven't been able to find any sort of guide or direction on what I should do from here. Should I even bother doing that? Is it possible that the non-working apps were corrupted (and for some reason a factory reset didn't restore their .apks)?
If anyone can give me any ideas or direction I'm willing to try. In the meantime I'm going to reset and root again.

quick question, everytime you factory reset. does it still maintain your root? maybe its not clearing everything. If i were you i would install titanium backup pro, delete tegrazone and reinstall it.

The root isn't maintained; I have to re-root after a factory reset. (How is using titanium backup going to help me? I've never used it.)
I've also thought about just deleting tegrazone and reinstalling it; the TLDR: have to remove it manually and sideload the .apk. Annoying. But I may try that.
In a similar vein; can anyone send me the Software Upgrade .apk?

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.

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

[Q] No Connection after unroot & uninstalling Freedom - unable to root device again
Sprint GN3
Android version 4.3
SM-N900P
N900PVPUBMJ4
I rooted my device, decided it wasn't for me and followed directions to unroot. I also uninstalled/deleted the app Freedom which I should not have. I did a factory restore but I can't connect to any Google services, including the play store.
I changed time/date, clearing cache, and factory reset. No change. I tried rooting it again using Kingo (which failed) and Odin using this PDA CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip which put me recovery mode and I had to use full restore to get out of that.
After I did a factory restore, I tried updating and it said my system had been modified and it wouldn't let me update.
Now, it is downloading the updates. And I really don't know if I should install the updates?
I really don't want to do anymore with this without some advice on what I should do next. I think I need to root again to get to root and remove something that the Freedom app put in, but I'm unable to root.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.
Seems like you didn't follow the correct uninstall procedure for Freedom, which is explained on their website.
Your system files are modified, you have flash stock firmware in order to fix Google Play Store and other apps.
Install freedom
Press menu key and click on stop. If there is start, click on start and after click on stop.
Hi all,
I have a G900I running Nougat. Recently My phone started getting slow, so I reset the phone. Here is where the issues occur, I had restored some apps and it worked for sometime but took a very long time to restore my existing apps that were installed, so I figured lets reset again and start without restoring at all.
Now the biggest issue is to get apps download at all. I can only update the existing apps that were installed. I have tried many solutions from google but no go from disabling the google play store app, clearing cache and for Google Play Services. as well. I keep on getting the Google play error of 905 and 495. I am quite stumped on how to fixed this issue.
Is there any method to fix this issue? I hope I am not resorted to root and install a custom rom to fix this issue. I have attached a screenshot of the stock rom I am running.

i know it will take some time to configure your apps but it will fix your problems

Hello!
I tried to update my phone (SM-G975U) via Odin from Android 9 to Android 12, got the firmware from SamFw.com. Everything went fine until the phone rebooted, after unlocking the phone gets stuck on 'phone is starting'. I CAN access the Set Up Menu, Uninstall apps, move some settings here and there, connect to Wifi/Bluetooth, receive calls, install apps using ADB. Also, theres a notification all the time that reads 'Phone restarted Unlock your phone to get app notifications', I'm assuming that the phone thinks it is not unlocked and that's why it doesn't fully boot up.
Some things that I've already tried:
Intalling another Launcher (Pixel Launcher)
Reinstalling the firmware (ver G975USQU6IVC7) / Trying with different CSC with no results
Wiping Cache in Recovery Mode
Deleting/Adding Fingerprints
Changing from Lock Pattern to NIP to Password
I don't really want to do the full wipe, I would like to keep my data or be able to export the photos (Device not Recognized by Smart Switch also)
Is there anything else I can do?, has anyone been through the same issue?

Hi !
@DannOsnaya have you found a solution to the phone problem other than restoring to factory settings?
I have the same problem at the moment, almost identical to what you experienced.
If anyone has some advice on how to fix this problem, please share your advice.

Any way to factory reset. I tried every possible way following YouTube but nothing works. It's just stuck. I've a backup of my data so not worried.
No, I still have the same issue.
Have you tried to install a launcher?

Nothing works. Now decided to show it to anyone. I guess the mobile shops have an option to erase everything. I don't understand how did it happen because it's usually with my toddler, he might have done something.

I followed a video and wiped out. Finally successful. I wasn't worried about data as Google has a backup.
I followed this method and finally it's factory reset.
