[Q] Kies 4.3 update crashing phone

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

All apps "unfortunately XXXXXX has stopped working"

Looking for a bailout here guys. Bought an s4 a year ago and havent really played with it. Had an S2 before this phone that i rooted and had no problems working between ROMS. Last night i was "talked" into rooting my S4. Its an ATT (NC1). After it was rooted someone got a hold of the phone and deleted a laundry list of apps and now barely anything works on the phone. Trying to make a call, message, etc will not work and I get the "unfortunately XXXXXXX has stopped working" message and the app will close. Cant sign in to Google and the playstore will not open, attempts to but then closes. Google+ tries open but says "Couldnt connect to the server".
So i cant even make a call or message on the phone because the applications stop working. I have done a hard reset from both the backup menu and from recovery. Didnt make a difference.
Any ideas? It would be nice to be able to make phone calls again! .....And be able to download from playstore...

I guess he deleted important Apps so that the system can't really work anymore . The only way to fix it is to restore a backup and if you haven't got one you have to flash your current firmware again.

the best thing to do now would probably be to download a stock rom for your version of the S4 and flash it with Odin, you can search for the firmware here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
On "Type" choose: Smartphone, on "OS" choose: Android, then find your model and select your country, download the latest rom from your carrier, then flash it with Odin.

I didn't do anything on my g7102, not rooted. It just suddenly happen when i'm trying to call someone. I've tried clearing the Phone cache and data and turn off/on my phone, but the error stil there. Any other way to fix this without doing a factory reset or flash new stock rom? My phone comes with a 4.4.2 version already when i bought it.

Try clearing phone storage in app manager in settings... if this doesn't work then do a factory reset....

Take a look.

Wifi/settings keeps force closing

After recently rooting and installing latest TWRP on my s7 edge (enoxys 935f), I have tried to install different roms. However each time I install a rom, even if i "Format data" and fully wipe prior to rom install I get an error when using the phone when trying to access wifi settings. it seemingly tries to open the screen then force closes and says "settings has stopped" with the option to "restart app". this has happened on the superman rom , renovate, and Tmobile volte+wifi calling etc rom.
Don't know whats up and how to fix this? I am able to connect to wifi that i specified in the startup of the phone when it was asking for my google account etc but not able to access this settings.
Thanks!
PS how do i make a log report if you need to see a log?

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.
