so my phone was a stock Galaxy s5 G900V running 5.0, but I wanted to root it and install a custom rom. I rooted it using this method. It worked but when I went to install the custom rom it would blackscreen, so I said screw it and wanted to go back, so I redid the root and when it asked me what rom to install I installed the 5.0 rom. I then wanted 6.0.1 so I used Odin and a stock rom and it seemed fine, but now I keep getting "google play services has stopped working" and I cant download any apps. I also try to download the apks but I get "My Files has stopped working" when I go to install them. Please just help me get my phone back to stock, I dont care if it has to be 5.0 (Lollipop), I would prefer to use Marshmellow, but I'll go without it if I means my phone works. Also I can no long boot into recovery mode. I will give any other details I have if needed. Please help. I would like to get it fixed by tonight.

Id try a factory reset if possible. On a couple of my roots, that fixed it. Good luck with it though.

Does towel root method work on AN12 update. I have read the root methods for under AN12 but since this update has been out for a while now i thought maybe they got towel root to work.
Thank you in advance.

Short answer is yes, however, you will need to ODIN your kernel first then gain root with towel root. Read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784860
Towelroot v3 refuses to install on Galaxy S5 from Verizon.
I'm having problems getting Towelroot v3 installed on my Verizon Wireless, Samsung Galaxy S5 16mb phone.
We were running fine while being rooted under V4.4.4 and Rom *NHA*.
We removed SuperSU, and uninstalled. it.
We installed the update, with no problems.
We rebooted, into Download mode, and flashed Kernel *NCG* .
We copied Towelrootv3 over and attempted to install it... (This is where the problem begins...)
We attempt to install TowelrootV3.apk. We get the popup that gives us the warning, along with the checkbox, we select the checkbox, which allows us to go ahead with the installation... the install begins but then suddenly says, "App not installed". (??????)
I have ensured that we are booted up under the NCG Kernel, and that we have selected:
Settings ->Security->Unknown Sources [ck'd]
Settings->Security->Verify Apps [Ck'd']
Developer Options->USB Debugging [not Ckk'd]
Developer Options->Allow Mock Locations [Chk'd]
No matter how many times that we try to install it, with different settings etc.... it fails with "App not installed!"
What could possibly be the reason that it refuses to install when we are using the *NCG* kernel?
I removed the NCG kernel and put the NK2 Kernel back in, and rebooted for the time being. It's working well, I just cannot get TowelrootV3 installed so that I can install SuperSU.
I've rooted another S5, using the very same procedure, and had absolutely no problems.
What am I doing wrong on this phone? It's driving me crazy, and I don' t have too far to go...:silly:
Thanks in Advance!
Please Help.

Check enable USB debugging and see if it works.

Well,
I found that if you do not copy the towelroot.apk to your internal memory, it will not allow you to install towelroot.
Instead of Downloading towelroot.apk from the website from the phone itself, I downloaded it onto my PC. Then connected my phone to my pc, and placed it into "Access Picture" mode so that you can upload and download pictures into the phone's internal memory. I used that mode to copy towelroot from my pc to the phone.
I used Odin3 to load up NGC Kernel.
Then I disconnected from my pc, rebooted the phone, and was able to install towelroot with no further warnings.
Once that was done, I was able to use Odin3 again to load back up the NK2 original Kernel. I then rebooted again,
and then I could "Make it Rain". After a nice summer rainstorm, I was able to install SuperSU from Google Playstore and install it.
I sure hope that when 5.0 comes to our Verizon Android S5 phones, it's equally as easy to get root access as it has been for 4.4.4. I would surely be hindered without it as my phone relies upon a lot of apps that require root access. Unless Verizon changes their ways, this will be the last Samsung Galaxy I will ever purchase, so that I can move over to a Nexus device.
Thanks to everyone who has stepped up and helped us keep our phones productive and rooted.
Cheers,
-Stone

As the title suggests the play store no longer works on my g2. It is not rooted or modded in any way. Ive tried clearing the play store app along with google play services. That didnt work so i tried to factory reset still to no avail. Someone please help before i throw this crap away.
I'm afraid the same was happening to me, I went back to KitKat and installed CloudyG2 since I was on it.. You could also restore a back-up made using the LG PC Suite.
Good luck!
So i would have to go back to kit kat before doing the backup? And how would I go back to kitkat exactly?
Guess I was replying too early in the morning and wasn't awake just yet Let me explain:
If you would have updated to LolliPop using the LG PC Suite, it would've asked you if you want to create a back-up of your current installation. I meant you could restore this back-up.
If you don't, I've got another idea for you. But I gotta work this out first. Haven't got much time to do this right now, but I'll get onto it later if you want.
That would be great because i have no backup from kitkat so unless i can find a way to fix this im gonna have to get a new phone probably. I cant use 90% of my apps right now. Only google chrome, calling, and texting still work
Could you describe exactly what the Play Store does btw? Does YouTube still work?
For me the Play Store was just showing a blank screen and nothing else.. Just gotta be sure if you've got the same issues as me.
Youtube works fine for some reason. But the play store is working. I can see all the appd and everything, just whenever i try to update or download an app it just continuously says downloading and moves the bar non stop without any change until I stop it. Ive tried wifi vs data and have even let it try to download an update for google play services for over 24 hours.
Hmm that's another thing than I experienced.. But still flashing another ROM could be a solution, if you're fine with that.
However, I'd suggest you back up your current installation first. Either using the LG PC Suite or using a custom recovery. I personally wouldn't go through the hassle of installing a custom recovery when there's another, easier option, but that's up to you.
This is the way I flashed it back to KitKat (and afterwards to the Custom ROM Cloudy G2)
And pay attention, if you use this and something goes terribly wrong, it's at your own risk.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476 (I used the KDZ Method)
If you've done that you're set to either flash a Custom ROM or keep your device on stock KitKat.
This is optional however, but I did it because I just like to experiment and tweak my phone
Let me now if you need any further directions, for example installing a Custom ROM
Having the same problem here too. After updating, can't use the Play Store. Tried cleaning cache, data and even removing Google account didn't help. Btw, does all your apps work, especially the ones downloaded from Play Store?
(Help) Restoring the original Touchwiz apk after a massive screwup xD
Hello everyone =)
I've been having this problem for a while with no apparent way to solve it...
I'm running a stock non rooted Lollipop on my Note 3. A while ago I saw a Note 4 launcher and got excited to install it. So I installed the apk file overwriting the existing Touchwiz. I figured that if it doesn't work I'll just go to the "uninstall updates" option to go back (been doing that all the time on my old Xperia S). I started getting the "Touchwiz has stopped working" message over and over again so I went to the "uninstall updates" option and found it greyed out. I deleted Cache and data, tried to reinstall the older apk, even tried to install other apks but I just keep getting "App not installed". I tried reflashing Lollipop using Odin but it still doesn't work!! xD
I have the original apk file for the launcher. Is there a way to fix this that doesn't require root?? I'm desperate here xD
Thanks in advance!!!!!!! =D

? reset your ?
You must have not flashed the right rom in odin.
Go to sammymobile and select the rom for your exact device and region (country and provider if needed)... flash it. It will restore everything back to stock (including the TW launcher, etc).

hmmm weird... I originally installed the Russian firmware with the original Touchwiz (before I ruined it xD). I flashed that exact firmware after I messed up Touchwiz.
I'll try a different region and see if it works.

All-
Verizon Galaxy S5, rooted stock NI2 (KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANI2), stock recovery. Did this sometime last year (back when NI2 was the newest), don't necessarily remember the steps, but it involved downgrading+towelroot+upgrading. Everything's been fine, until I decided to try and free up some internal memory by using TitaniumBackup (pro) to move apps to ROM. Got about 1/3 of the way through, started getting all sorts of G service/app bombs (specifically around Google Play Services plus a few others), and the process never completed. Had almost constant popups about Google+, Google Maps, and Play Services. Searched for quite a while on fixes for this- didn't seem like there were any I could use.
Here's what I've tried:
- clear cache from recovery, no change (figured I'd give it a shot)
- reloaded NI2 stock kernel md5 via ODIN, no change (guessing since I've got a broader ROM issue)
- attempted loading GAPPS via sd card via recovery- no dice since stock recovery fails on signature/verification
- backed up apps/data with Titanium, and factory refresh from recovery- still same issue ("error occurred during installation of Google+... uninstall and install again")
At this point, I can't get to Play Store to do any installations from there. I'm not too interested in getting on Lollipop, and would be happy getting back to where I was before (NI2+root). Since I'm already rooted, I searched and couldn't find something like a "NI2 rooted ROM", and think my only option at this point is to ODIN a full stock NCG retail tar, and follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2784880, which I'm still reading through, but which will basically be a towelroot of NCG and upgrade from there.
Is this my only option, or is there a way to blast the ROM to the extent that I keep root but my system issues are fixed?
Thanks!
Flashed NI2_retail_firmware.tar.md5, no change (but still have root for reference).
I have a question. Are we allowed to downgrade our phones with firmware without voiding our warranty? No root... I need to call verizon and they may ask me what firmware im running...lol
Case closed... followed thread posted above and now I'm rooted NCG with a blank slate
Diana- can't help you on that one!
hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.
Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar
I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy
Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
