S4 i9505 not rooting through any apps
Hi, I recently flashed cm12.1 on my S4 i9505 and its working fine.
I need a working GApps package, I tried flashing 2 PA GApps(mini and micro), updated version which is TK GApps(mini), and also cleared calvik cache before and after flashing them as some forums suggested, but none of them worked and all Google apps keep crashing as soon as I boot in CM even the keyboard.
The 2nd issue: My phone is not rooted anymore and I tried a couple of rooting android and windows apps but none seem to root my phone, fails everytime. The errors which I faced are below.
Framaroot: "Your device seems not vulnerable to exploit included in Framaroot"
iRoot (android): "GT- i9505 No Root Permission"
iRoot (windows): "Device is connecting
eRoot (windows): Stuff written in chinese and no root button available as mentioned in different forums"
KingoRoot: "Root Strategy unavailable, just try it"
TowelRoot: Stuck on make it ra1n and after a while "towelroot stopped responding"
Root Checker: "Root checker has stopped working"
3rd Issue: I tried installing playstore apk till I get my GApps working, but it crashes everytime I open it, any solutions?
Thanks

1. Gapps: http://opengapps.org/
2. You cannot loose root acces on CM. It's impossible. You just need to activate it in developer settings and after that flash Supersu (optional). All the apps etc you tried is completely obsolete.
3. See post number 1.

Yes.
I would suggest performing a full wipe then flash CM and then the Gapps.
or you can try to just flash Supersu and your root will probably be back.

I tried your suggestion, did a full wipe and flashed CM successfully through TWRP, the flashed GApps successfully, and SuperSU also, but just before rebbot, TWRP asked for "fix root" and when i swiped for yes, the reboot brought me back to Samsung logo and never rebooted CM... waited for about 15 mins before pulling the battery out...
I tried to flash CM and a stock firmware through odin then and now it says "Firmware upgrade failed, try KIES...... " odin fails to flash anything and gives error "No PIT Partition", even if I try to flash PIT files (tries 4 different files for i9505), all failed....
now I can only access download mode and lost TWRP too...
help please!
Install a stock ROM through Download Mode. This will get you back to a working state. From there get TWRP and then install CM12.1. And this time around, follow instructions! At no point were you EVER told you had to fix root, and as you found out, fixing root removes root access.
Honestly mate I was on CM for a while with my i9505 intl before deciding to try something else. I recommend this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 . either the latest 5.1 or previous 5.0.1 release, they are both rock solid and there's great support for it too. They've even packaged cm addons as optional flash files.

Sorry forgot to mention it's a Google play edition so rest assured your gapps come included.

My N7 originally is nonrooted with 5.1.1. wifi only and factory reset
Yesterday i used "WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit NRT_v2.0.5" to unlock the bootloader, root and flash Dmitry Grinbergthe's "grouper-M-TWRP_v1.1.zip" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-7/development/rom-aosp-6-0-grouper-t3225584). Everything seems okay and it restarted and shows Android 6. Then i installed Gapp.zip it stuck at "Android starts, Optimizing app xx/xx" windows and finally got "Set up wizard stops" error when reboot. I tried two different Gapp zip files: "working-marshmallow-gapps.zip" and "benzo-gapps-M-20151011-signed-chroma-r3.zip" both got the same error. I have to restored it without Google apps.
Please help me to eliminate the error and install Google apps to the custom rom.
Thank you very much !!

Hope someone can provide some guidance on this one....
I have Galaxy S6 Edge+ G928W8. It's running stock ROM, but rooted with auto-root on this forum. Other root-required apps work, so I know root is good.
I tried installing Xposed by doing:
1) Installed Xposed Installer app from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
2) Flashed amd64 ZIP from here with TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/unofficial-xposed-samsung-lollipop-t3180960
3) Rebooted and Xposed Installer still says framework is missing. Also Wanam Xposed says framework is missing.
The Xposed Framework instructions say to use CWM recovery but I can't find that for our S6 Edge+. Is that the problem? Now whenever my phone boots, it gives the "Android is starting / Starting Apps..." message before it goes into my lockscreen. I also had an error with Google Play services but reinstalling Google Play services fixed that issue.
Any help is very, very much appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the idea. I tried 75.3 and 75.8, still same issue. I'm now trying to flash the deodexed stock ROM and will see what happens.... might have to flash back to original stock and try again.
I rooted my lg g2 at&t d800. And installed the Cyanogenmod 13. Then i tried to install the "gapps" (downloaded from opengapps.org) through Android System Recovery since the clockworkmod reovery wasnt opening up. How do i fix this? I tried installing the google apps seperatedly using apks. But it isnt working either. The "play services" i downloaded is crashing often. Playstore downloaded wasn't opening. No google apps is working. Please help me through this.

Hi there! I'm having issues to update OTA, this is my scenario:
Phone came with Android 8.0.0 Oreo (OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.9.0.ODHMIFA) so I did the following
1. Installed TRWP, then Magisk.
2. Installed Xposed (systemless) (Magisk Module)
3. Profit.
All good till here, the problem came when I tried to do the May OTA, it gives me the "Installation Problem" in the first step. I have read over the forum but I cant decide what to do. First I tried the " Uninstall -> Restore Image" in Magisk, but FAILED, and then:
1. Uninstalled Xposed Module.
2. Via TRWP uninstalled Magisk.
3. Update Failed.
Root Check says I'm rootless
Xposed Installer says "Xposed Framework is not installed". But OTA still fails.
So by now I'm thinking that maybe I have to flash stock system image, but not sure about this, actually NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, I just want to be able to have root and Xposed systemless, and then when an OTA arrives uninstall everything, do the update, reinstall Root/Xposed, and be happy.
Any guidance for me? Will I be OK if I flash JUST and ONLY the system image (OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.9.0.ODHMIFA)? Or do I have to flash ALL the stock images? What are the best option for me right now? Basically I'm trying to avoid reinstall all the apps and customization already done.
TL,DR:
Installed root/Xposed.
Uninstalled following different options.
Tried to do OTA, failed.
Not sure what to do now, I want to do OTAs and have root/Xposed.
Thinking into flash stock system image.
Thanks in advance!

But why some people can do the OTAs without uninstalling TWRP? Anyways I'll try this. Thanks. :good:
