Hello guys! I tried to root my phone and I followed all the steps on this website on my Galaxy s7 edge. I have SuperSU on my phone but I cannot download any other apps from the play store. What is going on? Access cloud does not work either, almost every app has been stopped somehow. I need help quickly and please (I'm begging) be specific on the steps. I need my phone like all of us.
Thank you guys.
The more specific you can be, the faster and more helpful the help you'll get. Things like where SPECIFICALLY on this website did you follow the steps from? At what point in the root process did you get to and at what point did things go wrong. What kinds of errors are you getting and what have you done to try to fix things thusfar?
Based on symptoms it sounds like you didn't follow all the post-rooting steps (specifically disabling security policy updates) and your phone will soon bootloop. Wipe, read the post-root fixes thread, try again.

So i have a Nook Simple Touch I was using about 9 months ago, which fell to disuse for a bit for a variety of reasons. It's running 1.1.0, and is rooted.
I dusted it off to recently give it some more use again, and wanted to update some of the apps, but discovered that the Market doesn't seem to work anymore - I know it used to, but now, whenever I try to download anything, I get a dialog: "Download Errror: Download was unsuccessful, please try again." I've waited an extra day, as I remember that was originally necessary to complete the registration process, but still nothing. Searching (with Market Search) works, even for things I haven't looked up before, and it still recognizes my account, as I see my email, though I noticed that the Nook Touch doesn't get listed in the Google Play Store under devices.
Any ideas what might be going wrong here, or things to try? I'm also willing to upgrade to a newer firmware (1.2.1), but am not sure of the best method to update a rooted device. I can pull it into a separate post, but I'll include it here for now:
I'm sure I'l have to root again, but Is it possible to upgrade the rooted device and then simply re-root, or will I lose everything I've installed? Is it just better to wipe, update and re-root? If so, is there any convenient way to keep all of my settings?
Thanks!

Sad, no one wants to reply. Or perhaps no one knows.
Did a backup, and experimented. I couldn't update directly, so I wiped back to a stock ROM, and upgraded to 1.2.1. Rooted with ManualNooter, and the market worked. So I have no idea what was going on, but it works now. Sadly, a computer accident made me lose my backups (including unrooted images). But at least I've got something functional.
I am currently in the same boat with my NST (BNRV300) running rooted 1.1.2. I last installed and/or updated some Market apps successfully perhaps about a year ago, and have not made any other change to the Nook, so I am at a lost as to what might be the cause. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.
For now, my workaround this problem is to download the desired app's apk file from an alternate source (e.g., APKPure) then side-load it onto the NST.
My guess would be that somehow your authtication with Google has been lost on the device.
If you go to the PlayStore on a computer do you see your NST listed as a device, and if so, when you select an app that way does it eventually appear on your NST?

I think you are right -- my NST credential with the Playstore must have expired or more likely become invalid when I changed my password on my Gmail account.
If so I can't figure out how to re-validate the credential: I recall entering my Google login/password via the YouTube app during the course of rooting my NST using the MinimalTouch tool's 2-phase process, but now I can't even get the YouTube app to start (error message: ... problem starting up, please check your network connection and system time).
Look here
I responded to a related issue awhile back. Not sure if the info at the link might kick-start the signing in process.
Thanks for the pointer.
I decided to go the route of "factory reset, upgrade to 1.2.1 and re-root using Nook Manager", as simply re-rooting 1.1.2 using the old tool (Minimal Touch) is tedious & somewhat error-prone -- plus I'd like to try out 1.2.1.
That was what I would usually suggest but the farther I have gotten from that "day 1", the less likely I am to take/offer the same advice. I've made so many modifications at this point I don't think I'd ever get it back to its present state! Back up early and often...and, apparently, access the Market every so often, even if you don't want anything.
Good luck!
Hello, lovelies of XDA. I'm looking from some advice from those who better understand what they're doing, as I (like a true novice) have reached what seems to be a "point of no return" with my phone.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I have rooted and updated to Lollipop using the methods described in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...to-root-i337ucufnj4-4-4-4-11-13-2014-t2939553
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
I went from Lollipop 5.0.1, to KitKat 4.4.4, got root access, then updated to Lollipop again via the KeepRoot thread. This took me forever, but everything seemingly worked fine. Until I messed it all up. I used TitaniumBackup to remove apps that were on the safelists on this forum after creating backups. However, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Google Play Services have stopped." error message every time I tried to add a new Google account in my phone's settings. In my efforts to attempt to fix this, I managed to delete the Google account that was working on the phone, and now I have no access to Google Play at all. Whenever I try to launch anything involving Play or Google accounts, I get the "...Play Services has stopped." error. I was hoping to maybe start fresh, but I don't even know where to begin. I was thinking I could reflash using the method in the "Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot" thread, but I have no way to get the FlashFire app on my phone as it can no longer access the Play store. When I try to install it wirelessly from my computer, it thinks that the app is already Installed, even though there's no Google account (or Play access) on my phone. What is my next logical step to try to get things working again?
Thanks in advance for your attention and efforts.
I'm sure there's an apk of flashfire app somewhere on the internet.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so you could try flashing a gapps package and see if it works.
Hi there forum
I've recently been having issues with my Samsung Galaxy S5 (M900 series) mobile device regarding Location Service Apps (i.e. "Easy Taxi" & "Uber" apps).
I was using the Easy Taxi app for some time now with no issues since downloading it a while back and had also been using the Uber app just recently, but out of the out nowhere it they both no longer work. Upon starting up either app they both instantly close with the msg, "Unfortunately, <app name> has stopped."
I've looked a little bit online and some sites have stated that turning off "Android System Webview" might fix the issue. It did not.
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.
Try clearing the caches in recovery, and from the faulting apps themselves
Just tried doing that and nothing. Easy taxi closes immediately, where as Uber allows me to log my login info again. Once I do that though it too closes immediately.

Same issue here - S5 BOB7 900F running Abasadii V4.2 Knox 0, with root
Dear XDA Community and fenixvive,
I have the same issue sinxe a couple of days. Just as you have reported, some apps just simply crash on start, some only when trying to access the locations.
I suspect that there was a security update sometime ago, as after having factory reset my phone, giving in failing to identify the culprit, once I have updated every, I keep getting the notification, that this or that would like to access my location, and if I let it- as far as I can remember, this was not there before, but please prove me wrong.
I have not updated my system firmware, nor received any OTA updates, just had let my Google and Samsung apps to be up-to-date.
Big mistake.
I have also contacted the Samsung app support, but I got an answer pointing towards a firmware update. Let me copy what they have answered :
Dear Customer
Thank you for contacting us. We appreciate the opportunity to assist you.
Please note that you contacted Samsung Content and Services. Here we can assist you if you encounter any issues related to Samsung Account, Samsung GALAXY Apps, Find My Mobile, etc.
For your situation regarding any system update issues, please contact our colleagues from Samsung Electronics.
We are definitely not alone. The Endomondo forum and Android central has also reports of this bug ...
I will try to restore some system apps to old versions from my Titanium Backup, hoping I will find the fix.. I will surely let you know, if I figured something out.
Until then:
Keep Calm and peace!
Thanks for the update Razor. From what I've read online, most of the other forums or sites are just recommending the easiest answer, which is trail and error. I took screenshots of the running and open apps running at the time.
(It's listed in the system report it sends along when you send an error report).
Since I'm not really an expert at debugging I'm gonna try it the brutish way and disable each app one at a time and troubleshoot it that way for now. It's a tad long list so I'll do it when I have the time.
I really do hope someone has a much better solution though.

A fix was found: updating to BOE6 with newest modem and bootloader
Dear fenixvive,
Thanks for the kind words, it seems that we have gone the same directions.
I am not a big debugger either, nor do I know everything about android, but I follow the basic try and error strategy.
I restored some system apps, and neither the old version of Android System Webview, nor the old Google Services Framework helped. However restoring the Google Play services indirectly helped me to find a fix. The old version forceclosed almost all (even the restored) Gapps.. I tried to make sure that everything was running the old versions, but they kept FCing after every restart. Since I messed up with system apps, a simple factory reset was no way to go, I had to reflash a new ROM. This is what solved my problem.
I went with an Odexed BOE7 rom, I chose _ALEXNDR's debloated version, but I suspect going for anything similar would be fine as well.. Just make sure you update the Modem and Bootloader as well, as I did so. Therefore I am not sure if updates to the BL or modem would have been enough on their own.
Regarding the specific versions I used, I just followed the links in _alexndr's third post
This for the bootloader, and this for the modem.
Flashing the rom with FlashFire was straightforward and also let me keep KNOX 0.
Kudos to all those senior members. They are truly amazing.
Maybe you can try first updating the modem and bootloader with your older rom and check if it is enough to fix your problem.
I hope you can solve your problem soon as well.
Same problem in my S5 G900M
I have the very same problem. I wonder if it only affects the G900M model.
I have read in a Google Play support thread that downgrading Google Play Services to a previous version make the problem go away. However I haven´t been able to reproduce that solution.
For the time being I don´t want to change the ROM, even though Touchwiz is not great, I just became used and don´t want to go through reconfiguring everything, so if anyone comes up with a solution that allow me to keep the ROM, please share.
Regards.

I got a message this morning about a system update on my YT3-X50F
(YT3-X50F_S000022_160606_ROW_TO_YT3-X50F_S000023_161201_ROW) -
Downloaded and the install failed.
I googled and it seems this is happening to others. however the "Resolution" was to download from some Russian site
(https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Androi...x50f-dec-2016-update-fail/td-p/3523775/page/3)
I'm not even clear on what the resolution steps are.
I'm asking here because I've used XDA as my go to forums for years (my third tablet). You guys are always helpful and able to explain stuff anyone can understand.
I had rooted my tablet, but went ahead and unrooted. I also pulled the "nuclear" option and factory reset. I was already on the verge of needing to do so anyhow since it was having a bunch of annoying freezing and rebooting issues. Its in the process of reinstalling all my apps now
I followed the post at How to root Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 SM-T330NU on Android 5.1.1 [Guide] without checking the build number carefully enough. The rooting appeared to work, but I get a series of messages that some services have stopped, such as Unified daemon, Contacts, Touchwiz, etc. I can still log into the tablet, but nothing else works. Is there more to do to make it function again?
Can someone help?

I'm not sure it was necessary to root your device. Where are you in the bigger picture of replacing the stock ROM with LOS? Have you replaced the stock recovery with TWRP? Once you do that, wipe the caches, system and data partitions, and flash LOS and the Google Apps. Reboot and your tablet will be a brand new device. Enjoy! We're here to help.
I don't know what to do next. The goal was to upgrade the tablet to an OS that let me install a Meetup app. The tablet at that time had Android 5.1.1.
The rooting was done under the instructions of the linked web page in the last post. How I got there is no longer clear, however, all the web pages I read seemed to need the tablet to be rooted. I did not install TWRP since I was not sure the rooting worked. Nor have I installed any ROM since I'm not sure if the LOS is a "ROM".
The problem may be that the rooting instructions were for a build number that I misread, and so rooting may not have worked.
Note that there doesn't seem to be many choices of tablet model to rooting versions, TWRP versions, Android versions, and ROMs. There are several tutorials. Many are overviews and not specific instructions, so its hard to know which to follow.
For example, I have no idea how to "wipe the caches, system and data partitions, and flash LOS and the Google Apps."
Can I use any TWRP version? Any LOS version, for SM-T330NU?
Let me add... If you are trying to help, then please suggest a specific web page/tutorial to follow. Something that works for my tablet. Otherwise it will continue to be trial and error without understanding the problems.
Well...I tried and succeeded with Factory Reset. It all came back and I have a very recent backup. The Android version is still 5.1.1, but the meetup app downloaded and installed properly so something must have changed. I am content for now. Thanks.
(PS: Still not sure what went on to allow this to work.)
