Hi, I've got a problem I cant fix.
I wanted to downgrade Google Search so I uninstalled updates and it went back to stock. I then installed the version I wanted. v3.1
Now, this is my problem. I DONT want it to show in Google Play as an update so I tried to make a updated APK like I have with many other apps where I like older versions.
Now I used Lucky Patcher and that didn't like making the modded APK but it did back a backup. So I clicked RESTORE BACKUP. and guess what? It deleted the app instead of restoring it.
Now when I try to install it from either any APK or even directly from Google Play it keeps saying the device is full and fails to install.
I have over 1GB free. I've deleted about 10 apps and still keeps saying device is full. I've reinstalled those 10 apps and they fit and install without problems and I still have over 1GB free.
HOW do i get Google Search reinstalled? I dont want to reflash it as I will loose ROOT and that was a big enough ***** to install the first time.
I have a stock recovery menu. Rooted Galaxy S4 i9505 4.3 official firmware.
I did delete delvik cache and the cache in recovery menu.
I cant find any other ways to restore it? I tried titanium backup with the backup I have of it but that never ends when I click restore. It doesn't finish, doesn't do anything just sits there saying its restoring but never stops still I kill it even after 30 mins it was still restoring.
Anyone??
I did try Titanium Backup and made a update.zip and that fails both from SDCARD and ADB as its not signed and its stock recovery.
Do I have to install a custom recovery? Can I use the one I used with 4.2.2 or do I have to get a 4.3 version? That was i9505-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2-4.tar
Anyone?
I'm stumped. I dont have a clue whats going on and why it wont install and why its saying its full when its got 1GB free.

Im be honest with you

Thanks for the reply.
Was hoping not to do that.
BUT, everything still works without it anyway and as it stole the use of my Bluetooth button it wont be missed but I do like the Google Now alerts.
What happened with me was the latest few versions stole the link to the bluetooth button. Before when you pressed the button you had the option of S-Voice or Google Search and now the newer versions dont have that option and always use Google Search and you have no way to revert back to S-Voice. I had Google Search disabled for a while but I want to use Google Now so I need the app but not the new version so an old version works fine. I think the last is 3.1? I didn't try 3.2 but I know 3.4 has that forced Google Search now.

I got it installed and fixed a few other apps at the same time.
I went to root /data/data and found the google search was a 0kb file so I deleted it and it installed fine after that. I also had a few other apps that were playing up so I deleted those folders and they now install and work fine.
So in the end no need to reflash just remove the corrupt files and its all fixed.
I did find out Google Search 3.3 is the last of the good versions, 3.4 is when it steals your bluetooth's connection and uses it for its own without letting you choose default.
As S-Voice is a Samsung feature those not with a Samsung phone wont care but those like me that use S-Voice will be annoyed that the latest Google Search removes the choice. I recommend to disable so it goes back to default version then get v3.3 and install that and use an app to remove it from updating in Google Play then all will be good.
it's solved right?
but anyway maybe you could try to flash gapps . Don't now if it will works but i good to try anyway ;D

When uninstalling on stock, you only delete apk file. You have also to delete corresponding odex odex file in system/
Then, you have to remove also corresponding folder in system/data/data
Then, you can try to reinstall the app.

I fixed it. There was a corrupt file in /data/data and as soon as I deleted it, it finally installed fine after that.
Now trying to stop Google Play from upgrading and also removing it from the update list is another problem.

I do that and it doesn't work with Titanium Backup.
I want to remove it completely so it doesnt even see it in the Google play store.
In Titanium Backup you can remove it from Google Play but that option doesn't work as I've had it removed twice and its updated both times.
So far its working. I've turned it into a user app and removed it from the store and its not updated yet but I will give it till tomorrow and if it auto updated like the last 2 times I will just uninstall it again and not use it. Its more trouble than its worth anyway.

I want it installed, I want to use Google Now but I don't want to update to the bad version and I don't want Google Play to keep telling me there is an update so I want it removed from Google Play.
As I said Titanium Backup does have a "Detach from Market" option which does remove it but after a few hours it updates anyway so that option doesn't work.
When you make a custom APK it's not seen in the Market so that works but Google Search doesn't work when you customise the APK.

I've unticked that box so Google Search won't auto update but it's still in the update list and it still gives notifications that it needs to be updated.
It needs to be removed from Google Play, that's the only way to stop it from updating or asking to update and it's the only app I can't customise that I've tried. I've modded many apps and they work and they are removed from Google Play but this one I can't.
I also want other apps to auto update so I dont want to turn that option off.

YES YOU CAN.
Just install Market Fixer and that removed it. But it does sometimes show up after a reboot. I rebooted twice and it showed up the first time but not the 2nd time.
So it looks like I've fixed the problem.
Titanium Backup's 'Detach from Market' doesn't work but Market Fixer does the same thing and that does work.
The problem I think is its a system app, its used by my Google account, its used by half the system so its not easy to hide from the App Store. As other apps aren't used the same way they are easily hidden but Google Search isn't.
Since I updated HiSuite to the last version the backup function isn't working. It hangs on getting data from the phone. Has anybody had a similar experience ?

DOOMKING... YOU'RE BACK :laugh:
Never used it. I take backups with twrp
Of course I am back, this is the best forum I know and I follow it regularly at least for last three months. I made a backup with TWRP too but I also used HiSuite in the past since contacts can get messed up by Google contacts and/or Outlook and further I want to have a second backup on my computer just in case my SD gets messed. Anyway HiSuite worked OK until I updated to the last version, so I was curious if it is because of that or because of Su or something unrelated.

i got root, deleted some apps, twrp installed, custumized rom and custumized build.prop. missing some stock apps because i don't need them and installed xposed framework.
and well... look at the picture
did you gave the right permissions to back up app?
Ok thanks for info, I was just wondering... Anyway I can allways make a copy of my TWRP backup to PC or try a cloud backup with an app. Any suggestion ? Is Titanium best? Where do I give permissions to back up?

as i remember correctly... you where on Android 6.0 werentyou?
first go to settings
then ->permission manager -> apps
find huawei backup
the enable trust this app
after that go to advanced sttings -> security -> allow Hisuite to use hdb
Note i disabled usb debugging
Doesn't work. Can you point me to how to find permission manager. Even if I switch to English I cant find it. HiSuite to use hdb is allowed. It works I can see contacts, media, apps. Just can't make a backup. Another question, why is my keyboard (I use Swiftkey) always switching to Huawei's after each reboot ?

I'm using a sligthly differrent rom so it could be that.
Keyboard is somethi'g i dont know for sure (deleted the huaweu swipe) i use Google his. But do you have swiftkey installed at you memory card?
No, Swiftkey is installed in internal memory.
I reinstalled an older version of HiSuite and same thing happened even if it worked before I rooted the phone. I can connect the phone contacts, photos and apps are there; just when I want to backup - no go. It must be something connected to permissions but I am banging my head what... (ouch )

Your permissions are not properly set up. under phone manager you should see permission manager. try to give the apps you're having problems with full acces.
Thought so, now I am trying to find how. EMUI is not vanilla android so I am learning. Oh well....

The only version of Hisuite, that the backup works is version 2.3.55. That is strange - so it's not permissions on my phone but something with the program. In the meantime i moved to Sokkoban's latest rom for dual sim eu P8 lite, so i thought that then maybe Hisuite would work, but no except the old one that I mentioned. Confused - yes.

I looked for solution for the same problem. Some time ago i use to use HiSuite and it worked, Now don't. When I red your post i poked into Internet and found this:
Huawei » Hisuite » 2.3.35 : Security Vulnerabilities Published In 2016
Huawei HiSuite (In China) before 4.0.4.301 and (Out of China) before 4.0.4.204_ove allows remote attackers to install arbitrary apps on a connected phone via unspecified vectors

So probably problem lays INSIDE HiSuite.
EDIT\\ Problem lays in Huawei Backup. It needs to be upgraded to newest version. I had installed HB already, but HS do not want to work with it. Cannot upgrade from Play Store because it sayas so I have installed newest vesrsion. When I unininstalled HB from my phone, Play Store says, so my phone is incompatible!! Huawei phoner!! I found newest HB on APKMIrror and after installing it all went good - HiSuite works lakie it should and makes backup from PC.
Try ia USB storage device
HiSuite kept giving me the "insufficient space on your device" message... So instead I tried using a USB storage device and it worked fine. Basically a USB pen with the micro connector so that you can plug it to your phone. Hope this tip helps!
I faced the same issues. You need I think 10% (capacity or backup-volume)free storage on device and/or 10GB free storage. After cleaning up a little bit, it worked.

if you got it from APK Mirror, you downloaded a corrupt file. The newest file is corrupt.

Use Root Explorer and overwrite the old Samsung account with this one. The. Fix the permissions. Look at the screenshots.
Also how big is your enhanced features apk.
Also which rom are you on? You may want to update to a new rom?

Different color because I customized it. see if you can access the system folder.
What rom are you using? You maybe outdated and need to flash a newer one

Are you rooted? Stock means you never unlocked the bootloader? What bootloader and modem are you on? Check your about screenshot it and post it.
If i hard reset my phone and create a new account from the start up, would it fix my "Processing Failed" problem? Or just a waste of time and effort?

I had same problem.I go to apps and force stop Google play stroe and Clear data.Also i do same to Google Services and fix my problem every time.I hope Nubia fix this with update
I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:
For what it's needed: firstly , for those who do not use cloning, this is an unnecessary functionality; secondly , this chip conflicts with Google's synchronization (for example, with the G-board keyboard) and in general with all Google services. Who does not care about all this, you can not read further.
What you need: TWRP or root-access, PC and ADB
1. Delete CMVirtualbox.apk (located on the system / priv-app / CMVirtualBox path ) or just rename / delete the .apk extension to ease the rollback.
2. Connect the phone to the PC, run the command line (all the necessary drivers must be installed, debugging by USB is enabled, the start is made from the ADB folder), we write the command:
adb shell pm remove-user 10
and press enter. After success, reboot for persuasiveness.
As a result, cloning will be disabled, G-board keyboard messages "Synchronization on devices with G-Suite account or Android for work profile is not supported" will not appear any more and Google services will work more adequately. Successful to you of samples!
PS For rollback just return CMVirtualbox.apk , reboot, and everything returns to normal.

For me, the problem was resolved by uninstalling SwiftKey. For some reason, it blocks Google services and just stoping it's process or hibernating it using Greenify solves the problem immediately. Maybe it would help also to use sync with Microsoft account instead of Google in SwiftKey settings. I saw a similar issue also with Google Contacts app (Nubia Contacts works fine).
Since switching to Gboard, problem didn't appear again and Google Play and sync works without any issues.

You are welcome Although not rooting it would be pity...With root it is easier to get the phone into more useable state, like background apps not getting killed to get notifications on new messages properly etc. It helps to turn a few apps into system apps and/or add them in ProcessManager database as protected apps.

I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.

Phone got stuck

I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.

LATEST UPDATE: Now I'm stuck in the "Nubia...Powered by Android" start screen. This happened after I tried to install v1.05. This opened the TWRP screen in Chinese. I selected the bottom-right button and then again the bottom-right and chose English and then rebooted.
I can still get into twrp mode by long pressing the volume down + power keys.
What steps do I need to take to make the phone boot properly again?
-----
-- I posted this section below earlier before I had this boot problem
--
I finally found the time (and the courage) to try this out.
SuperSu was installed so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Does it mean that the device is rooted?
I can successfully get into su mode with a terminal app.
Also, I have two root checker apps. One is showing that the device is rooted, and the other shows that it's not.
All my apps and settings remained as they were.
IS THIS OK? I expected that the process will wipe all the data.
I didn't flash majisk. IS IT NEEDED IF THE DEVICE IS ALREADY ROOTED?
And lastly, I still can't download from the play store
Any suggestions on that issue?
Thank you so much

How did you install v1.05? You need to do it from emergency recovery using OTG cable/adapter, not from TWRP.
If you went from LineageOS to stock, you need to wipe data from emergency recovery, because the storage is encrypted.

I tried to install v1.05 from the settings->System Update->Local Update menu (http://blog.geekbuying.com/2018/03/official-global-versionzte-nubia-z17-lite-snapdragon-653-android-7-1-smartphone-firmware-20180316/).
Before that I had the global stock version 1.04.
What can I do now?

1. You can try wiping data & cache partitions.
2. Use that emergency recovery and flash zip over OTG from there again.

Thank you,
I already tried that.
The problem is that in emergency recovery mode the thumb drive that is connected with OTG cable is not recognized.
In TWRP I can mount that drive, but in emergency recovery mode its not mounted.
UPDATE: I tried different USB drives. One of them mounted. I found that this one was formatted in FAT. Since this is a small 2Gb drive that cannot hold the ROM, I found another drive that was formatted in ExFAT that also loaded correctly.
I loaded the ROM as suggested and now the phone is working again.
My guess is that the phone can't read NTFS file format in emergency recovery mode.
Thank you!!!

Yes, NTFS is not supported very well on Android. Use just FAT32, that should work fine. ExFAT also works only somewhere....

I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:

I renamed the CMVirtualBox.apk and also its folder, removed user10 and restarted, but that didn't help.
What did you use to kill the SwiftKey process? It's not installed as an app on my phone.
Thank you

In that case you probably don't have SwiftKey installed - it is not installed by default But if Play Store doesn't download and Google account sync doesn't work for you, it may be some different app causing the deadlock. You should go thru all apps and force closing them one by one...when you kill the problematic process, Play Store will start downloading immediately. You can do it from Settings - Apps, or use some app for that.
I really appreciate your help.
I forcefully disabled all apps but the problem remained.

It is Google services Framework that must be clear to receive update + the google, google play services and locatuon services.
Plus after clearing go back to the vpn app and reactivate the tunnel.
Do not put sim back until update will be installed
Worked for me.
I get it before this post, but it's similar. In my case, I just changed the system language to English (for view all the apps mentioned) instead of timezone. And don't needed to remove my accounts (even Google accounts). Gps off and without SIM cards. About the apps to clear data, when clear Google Services Framework, it's recomended to force stop too. After all, I start vpn in India server and try to update. And it's done! Very similar. Works for me. Maybe works for someone else.

Yepp works fine. :good::good:
I've tried it with Torguard VPN, it didn't work but after using Psiphon Pro VPN it works.
Please don't do this,

You are right.
With method of the OP it worked to upgrade to pie.
But as already forecasted in your post, push notifications stopped working properly after upgrading.
Workaround without factory resetting the whole ROM seems to be reinstalling the apps which need Google Cloud messaging services, to obtain a new ID. E.g. for WhatsApp, that worked for me.
So think twice if this trouble is worth to you.
Thanks to Midomad to this useful link.

Run this command in a root terminal then reboot and reopen the apps, no need to reinstall, though I still recommend a factory reset
find /data/data -name com.google.android.gms.appid.xml | xargs rm

Push notifications of what apps? On my phone i did twice (clear data from framework) and push notifications are working as they should be.
PS: U don't need to remove your google account to do the process. Wiping the apps do the trick.

No,i'm from the future!
This is valid no matter what Android version you are using!
https://c.mi.com/thread-821007-1-0.html
Here is another recent thread from miui forum for last year's Mi A1.
If this not enough for you,you can make some search on google about clearing Google service framework data.
If, after all, you're still not convinced!
Do whatever you want, just be more polite answering users next time.

For me in WhatsApp, the german weather app "WarnWetter" and Xing.
I'll observe if other issues come up and will then consider a factory reset.

It's true, you won't receive notifications from many apps like twitch, restoring backup from titanium backup has the same effect, but running the command above is enough to solve it

Since not everyone is rooted,and from my experience,a factory reset is the only safe solution available after resetting GSF data!
I think waiting for an OTA update, is easier than looking how to fix things on you're device.
