Hey guys , my friend has a nexus 4 and he got a notification to install android 5.0 and he did , the installation went on smoothly but now none of the google apps work including playstore even the check for updates option in settings is not working , all of them crash as soon as you open them , his phone has become a paperweight , He is on full stock , never rooted and i was wondering what is the best thing to do , to make his phone work as usual ,
1. Would a factory reset work?
if not .. do i root it?
2.If i wanted to root it - do i follow the same procedure as 4.4.4 kitkat root procedure?
Any thing else that could help us would be greatly appreciated
Thanks guys!

Yes, try a factory reset but that will wipe all your user data so backup anything important to a PC. If factory reset doesnt help, download and flash the factory image. Rooting will come after you have a working phone with lollipop installed. To root, flash a custom recovery (or boot into one) like twrp, then flash the latest supersu zip (2.35 I think).
Hi,
I had some problems with my Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo and Android 5.1.1 Lollipop, then finally there was Marshmallow 6.0.1 released and since then it's really running smoother (because a lot of people had problems with APA2 Lollipop Version). Now its base band G903FXXU1BPD3 and I also recognized much better battery life (no more high "android system" battery use).
On Lollipop i rooted my device with cf-autoroot and installed team win recovery to backup the system.. got it to work after a while. KNOX is 0x1 but no problem and OTA update was not working but i'm glad i could update to MM with SmartSwith PC Software.
I'm also waiting for Chainfires g903F -6.0.1- root file then I try again.. need it mainly for Apps2SD app to link big data to my 128gb sandisk microsd. By the way, is it o.k. to first install TWRP again to backup the system data, and after that root and TWRP will stay?
Now the remaining problems:
- Device Lag on Lollipop (had to reboot every morning to clear RAM): hope its better with 6.0.1 now.
- Sound issues: 1-2 apps stutter when bluetooth headset or bluetooth sound box is connected; without bluetooth it's working fine. Already tried to clear data/cache for system sound apps like AdaptSound, SoundAlive and also BluetoothService etc. ... by the way my stock music app is lost, can i reinstall it after rooting again with a .apk file ?
- I have CM Locker installed and now, on MM, I don't know which app data/cache i have to clear to reset the standard lockscreen which always starts after reboot (swipe) shortly before CM locker shows up.
- Is it safe to clear data of Google App or will my connected accounts, apps etc. be removed ?
I don't want a factory reset because i've got too much apps to configure again, maybe clearing dalvik-cache on MM after rooting will solve some things...
Thanks for answers..
You can already root your phone you must flash the cf auto root for g-903m. It also works for 903f. Look at the g-903f marshmallow theard. And after you flash cf auto root you have to flash twrp again because cf auto root deletes twrp

Root same way as you rooted marshmallow. Flash twrp, flash supersu 2.79. everything is the same. it will take a while to boot though be patient.
Flash TWRP in Odin
Flash SR3-SuperSU-v2.79-SR3-20170114223742.zip in TWRP
no its not working......After install recovery stuck in Samsung Flashing logo....
TWRP is making the devices get stuck on Samsung logo....
I think what is happening is that when you install only the twrp the encryption of the device conflicts and leaves in bootoolp. When you install twrp and root , root already comes with a tool that takes out the encryption. But if you just want twrp, as was my case, you should, first of all, on your own twrp, wipe data and then flash no-verity-opt-encrypt.
Having root and no encryption sucks. Think I'll wait
Found Some Official Announcement From @Chainfire

ChainFire Info
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here yet. I've had the stock firmware randomly stop booting even without modifying the boot image (rooting). Others have also reported that just flashing TWRP may trigger a bootloop (which is weird). I have some ideas what the cause may be, but it will be some time before I can properly investigate them.
The only way I seem to reliably get both TWRP and SuperSU working right now is:
- Flash TWRP (3.0.2-5) to recovery
- Immediately boot into TWRP
- If you were encrypted, format /data (ext4) and reboot into TWRP again
- Flash SuperSU v2.79-SR3 in TWRP
- Reboot into Android
The first boot will take a while if you performed that format, but for me it ultimately completes. Note that your device will be running unencrypted at this point!
Of course, if you format /data, you will lose all your data (including contents of internal storage!). Before I flashed the new version, I used FlashFire v0.54-PRE to create a backup of /data and internal storage to the removable sdcard, and restore that backup after flashing DPLT, rooting, and reinstalling FlashFire. This worked fine for me, and all my settings - including fingerprints and system settings - transferred fine. I came from the first Nougat beta, but I've seen others reporting success doing the same thing coming from Marshmallow. As always, your mileage may vary.
Unfortunately, due to this boot-loop issue with DPLT and encrypted data, it is also impossible to use FlashFire to upgrade the firmware itself to DPLT while keeping root if you started with an encrypted device.
I am not sure if the same difficulties exist with other official builds than DPLT, nor if the same problems occur with any of the custom ROMs based on DPLT. The S7 is my daily driver so I don't like to experiment with it too much
Below attach the required Files, I gonna try tomorrow. If anyone tried now please report update.

You can root but you have to disable encryption. Not a fan of that personally so I'll wait for another solution. If I lose my phone at least I'll have secure power up enabled. There is no bypassing that. There are too many FRP exploits on Youtube so having no encryption and simply a password isn't enough in my opinion.

Since you are rooted, uninstall S Health and install a lower version number which doesn't require Knox.

Security log will stop after you launch SU application and let SU to disable knox, it takes me always two attempts, disable, keep trying then i restart smartphone and after restart i try to disable knox again and it works, no more pop ups.
About S Health I'm looking for solution, so far should be enough to install older version set it up and update for new one, problem is that i cannot uninstall old version to get new one working.

S Health is now locked down if you have tripped knox. The only solution is to use an older version.

SuperSU couldn't disable Knox for me after many tries. In the end I just used Titanium to freeze Knox.

Try titanium. Backup the app first and then uninstall.

Sir thank you, i do not know how it is possible that another apps did not worked but titanium did removed new S Health. Afterwards i did install last version of S Health i found before version 5, After launching S Health and connecting account i did update on new S health and everything works.
You really saved me. Thank you

I did a full unroot of SuperSu to root with Magisk. After I root with Magisk, I get a few 'App has stopped working', I get
Unfortunately Logs Provider has stopped working
Unfortunately Media Storage has stopped working
Unfortunately Contacts Storage has stopped working
Unfortunately TouchWiz Home has stopped working*
Unfortunately User Dictionary has stopped working
Unfortunately Weather has stopped working
*I use Nova Launcher
I usually get them upon boot but sometimes I get them during regular usage
I've Tried
Reflashing correct firmware through Odin
Wiping Cache and Dalvik
Factory Resetting
Unrooting Magisk and Rerooting
How do I fix it, I am Running OS 5.0.2
Edit: Download Manager doesn't work as well when downloading APKs
Reflash it

I moved from custom pie rom to stock rom. But some samsung apps told me that it is still rooted so they won't run. My bank apps just runs normally and when i check using some root checker apps, they said that my phone is not rooted. Please help
Have you flashed it with odin? if not try it.

The very first time you rooted your phone, samsung's efuse was triggered. Now you cannot undo it even by flashing stock rom. The changes are permanent. Your phone has recorded that change to system was made at some time so it'll stay as unofficial forever
Only thing you can do is root again, edit build.prop > change ro.config.tima=1 in build.prop to ro.config.tima=0 save and reboot. This wil set Knox to 0x0.
Now unroot(if you dont want root)
Now you can use all Samsung apps like Health etc again
