Hi there.
Some months ago Google Play stopped working on my system (Huawei U8800).
Don't know what I did although I had rooted the device around that time - I didnt connect the dots. Im not even sure it rooted correctly. I have since found Root Checker which I must have downloaded before the crash cos I was recently able to install it on the U8800. It does tell me in Root Info that Root Access - no access. So now Im deeper in the, err, mud.
Bottom line is I cant download anything and I really need it back.
Id really appreciate some advice here. Thx

Hello
After rooting my xperia play. I now cannot install apps at all. Market downloads the app then gives the error download unsuscesfull. Tried from market.android.com but phone not on there any more. I have reset my phone cleared data from all apps reflashed root update (do get an error saying 1 bad block) error started after I installed busybox and hard reset.
Can anyone help?
Did you unlock bootloader and rooted and the same time?
reason I ask is that I noticed that after I unlocked the bootloader my handset disappeared from market.android.com and didn't show again for several hours. Once it showed again I was able to download apps etc.
I had no issue after root but I did unlock the bootloader the day Sony Ericsson released it.
na i unlocked the bootloader as soon as i came out
does anyone know where i can get the tft for the play as i want to try flashtool?
I'm looking for a working tft too to relfash. Think someone posted the decrypted files from SEUS. anyway to make it into a tft?

hi, i also rooted my play but i can't find apps that i used to before rooting. for example when i search the market for "titanium backup" or "root explorer" different apps appear for search results. anyone can help?
Ok, so first off I rooted my previous phone (a Verizon Motorola Droid X2) without any problems ever. I dropped Verizon as my carrier and switched to Straight Talk and I bought the Samsung Galaxy S4, after a few months of having it I decided to look for a way to root it. After a few days of browsing and reading about I found and root option that worked. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758) This saferoot worked and i had superuser and was able to do everything i wanted to.
I then went on the Google play store and installed apps that I previously had on my old device for rooted phones. Well I installed chainfire3D and opened it up and clicked install the drives (which then requires a reboot) after a sort time I noticed my phone was stuck on the loading screen and I can't get past it.
I then start looking for a unroot/unbrick option in order to restore my phone to default firmware and factory settings to get it to work again.
Now here is the dilemma...
Like it says in the title, the phone model is SGH-S970G and for the life of me I can't find this model's firmware anywhere.
plz help me asap!!!!
Thank you in advance for any useful information to help point me in the right direction or give me a solution!

If you get your phone fixed, I suggest you skip reinstalling Chainfire 3D. It specifically says it's not for Jelly Bean devices.
Omg so I let this guy root my phones cuz I was a tad bit scared to myself lol. After he did I started messing around an loving it! But I ACCIDENTALLY (I think) messed with system U I an bricked my phone. It wouldn't leave the Yellow Sprint Logo an was terrified! I learned about Factory Reset an how it erases everything, but come to find out my Google+ is constantly show up sayin, "unfortunately Google+ is responsive," or whatever. Then I CAN SYNC INTO ANYTHING! So can't get old photos, contacts, ect. Any time I TRY AN SYNC it says ( See pic below) that. So I've been looking on how to fix it an come to these 3 reasons why my phone is having these problems:
1) Tweaked around an messed with the System U I
2) I'm still on the original 4.4.2 version of I believe kit kat
Or 3) can't remember atm..lol smh
I also can't update my supposedly outdated Google Play Store and have this Icon (See pic Below). An cuz when I use certain apps I get a pop up that says "Needs Root Access," or whatever, EVEN AFTER I FACTORY RESET! So I downloaded a few Root Checkers and they ALL said I'm NO ROOTED! So it's like I'm Rooted but Very Limited....After 4+ Flipping Months of research I've come to POSSIBLE REASONS WHY IT'S MESSING UP AN SHEET:
1) Still on the Original 4.4.2 kit kat and needs Update (Since Idk I didn't get Updates after Rooting)
Or 2) I need to Restore my Firm and Softwares like I just got it from the store.
I'm I right?!?! PLEASE OH PLEASE HELP ME!!! I LOVE ANDROID BUT CUZ OF THIS IT'S MAKIN ME HATE IT!!!

I got the exynos s8 a month ago and imidiatly wanted to root. The root was unsaccessful and followed this video
https://youtu.be/VTi3uBkpJic
And used this file from the video https://mega.nz/#!5Q4TATzQ!DT2OQO01KHfw7HsVNElZSfZ4DHoO9W99k3dJqfumMhg
Now even the sansung health tells me "it cant work on rooted devices". But i have no root on the device. Dont even have twrp..
I just need some guidence on what to do now. I want the latest version with root im just scared to brick the device again. A good youtube video will help
Thats my status now

I am very new to all of this, so I am sorry if I'm ignorant about it, and honestly I don´t even have any interest in rooting my device (SM-G950FD), but when I check for new updates, it says the cellphone is already updated to the latest version (Is not, it is currently on 8.0).
I recently bought this phone to a friend and he claims to have never rooted the device, nevertheless, some things point to it being rooted. When I try to use the Samsung Pass App, a text pops up and says "You can't use the app because you rooted your cellphone." Besides this, I can't update the phone or sync my google photos pictures. I installed a root checker app, and it says "Sorry! Root acces is not properly installed on this device."
I was planning on followint the steps of a youtube video from HighOnAndroid called "How to Unroot Galaxy S8 or S8 Plus w/ Stock Firmware!" But I am afraid I can brick my phone if it's not already rooted. So I don´t know if I should just follow those steps, or first root my device (Even if I don´t know if it´s rooted yet) and then fo what the video says.
Thanks!

1. No you don't need to root to upgrade your phone.
2. You can check in download mode to see if you phone has been modified / rooted. Should have a line saying something like Warranty Void. 0 means phone not modify, 1 means phone is modified.

3. You can download firmware from sammobil.com or updato.com ( there are other site as well ). But download speed are slow. You also use PC app like samfirm or frija to download latest firmware.
