I recently did the root from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291827
and the hot spot mod from: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256950
I've reverted the hotspot mod and still the same result.
All my old apps work fine, nothing new that I download can be opened.
try clearing the data/cache on the apps then force close them and try to relaunch.....i had that issue with slim for a bit but it seems that whatever changes in build 6 were implimented fixed the issues.

stock rom.
Just tried a factory reset and now everything is crashing before I can even get into the setup process.
all services/apps that try to load crash.
I'm also unable to wipe cache from stock recovery, it says error.
is there a way to do it from odin? I'm waiting on stock firmware download, hoping that will make my phone useable again.
would installing TWRP and flashing an aftermarket rom potentially fix it? stock firmware is taking forever to download.
Stock firmware fixed the issue, scared to reroot the phone now tho....
if your having issues booting after a wipe try moving to to differant rom. if you like the TW UI there are still plenty of options for you in the way of custom roms. also if your going to be formatting your phone (i.e. wiping cache and dalvik and system components) i would recommend you load a custom recovery. you dont have to have one but it is advised.
Hey everyone I need some urgent help before I leave in 6 hours for a business trip ( and I NEED a working phone )
Long story short I was running Task650's rom with no issues for about 3-4 weeks
2 days ago my phone was just ripping through battery ( 100-0% in 2 hours ) Did some investigating and "mediascannerservice" was running none stop. I couldn't figure out why or how to fix it.
format, wiped / reset and clear cache and davik..installed the same rom
Same issue.
this time I formatted everything ( system, data, cache, sd card ) ( I had everything off that I wanted to keep )
Flashed a 4.3 rom and I couldn't install any packages ( mostly google packages like chrome and G+ ) I kept getting "package file is invalid" I did all the tricks I found online that people used to fix it...but no avail. So I thought it was a 4.3 thing.
did another wipe / format etc
I went back to Task650s rom which is a 4.2.2 rom ( that worked fine installing apps ) and I'm getting the same error ( package file is invalid )
What could be the issue? How can I fix it? What did I mess up?
any help would be greatly appreciated. I'll paypal anyone if they help me.

Edit, there have been others reporting a similar issue with invalid packages. It could be a simple as an issue with Google's servers. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44379885

I googled package file is invalid and looks like a few others are reporting problems..I'd wait it out a bit. So.. want my PayPal info?
If you're still running tasks aokp, there is an option in developer settings to disable media scanner on boot. Try disabling it and see if it stops the drain

I found some other options and posted them in the other thread.
Clearing Play Store app cache and data and even uninstalling Play Store updates are other options.
Been Googling the heck out of this for a while now as I had the issue briefly, but toggling the Verify app selection worked for me.

I'm out of ideas, but if you can manage to deal with the redundancy of a Google search, there seems to be about a dozen different ways to get past the issue.
I had that issue once yesterday while my phone tried doing an auto-update. No issues today. I was on 4.3 KB.

Man this sucks. I'm temped to ODIN back to stock and start fresh.
Try installing Hotspot Shield VPN and installing updates with it connected - worked for both my phone and my wives...it is the only thing that seems to resolve this issue - and I've been trouble shooting it for about 24 hours now. If you can't get Hotspot Shield to install, try Hideman VPN. Works just as well, but it has limited use. I had to disable wifi to get them to install.
If that works for you - I can send paypal info

did you ever answer if you had an i337 or i337m?
I use OUDhs recovery and I have been using Task 650's AOKP ROM without issue.
You must do the following:
Flash the OUDhs recovery if you dont' have it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2291956
Per Task's Thread -
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache, and wipe dalvik cache (found in advanced)
format system (do this again anyway)
format data (do this again anyway)
fix permissions (found in advanced)
Flash the AOKP ROM
You can now wipe both cache again or just reboot.

wait... are you installing the gapps from Tasks650s page? If you aren't then please do so and your problems should be fixed.
after i test the pacrom and restored my previous rom, now i cannot download anymore files. maybe due to mounting problem of the internal sdcard... only the playstore can download...
ill try aolving these via odin but hope someone can help me without the odin
You didn't give us nearly enough information to know for certain what is going on. You may be running afoul of the Kitkat SD permissions that limit apps to a single folder. Or you may have broken app paths, outdated cache information, simple corruption or even something else altogether..
Restore a valid backup if you have one. If not, then that is something that you should be doing in the future to avoid this type of problem. Some things to try in the alternative would be wiping the system cache from recovery mode. Failing that, go to the application manager in the settings menu and try clearing the cache and data for a given app. And failing that, reinstall the app.
If you have more serious issues that aren't resolved by the above steps, then it will be hard to discern what happened unless you can give us a detailed, step by step description of all the changes you made. A situation where a valid backup would be the best way to recover. If wiping the caches doesn't work, you'd probably be best to simply start over and write a full stock firmware image to your phone with Odin, followed by a factory data reset.

after coming from CM based rom my internal memory is read only..thats the problem but anyways thanks for the advice.. i solved it already by going odin
Hey guys,
So I just got my OP5 today... the first thing I did after taking it out of the box was unlock the bootloader (obviously). I then installed TWRP so I could backup my stock image. Since then I've been fighting with my phone all day because my apps say I don't have an SD card. 1) I can't download apps, 2) I can't take pictures 3) I can't create a folder on my internal storage with the file manager.
I have tried wiping system and wiping data. ( I'm currently on FreedomOS rom since I wanted to try wiping everything ) The weird thing is I was able to download ES file browser, Root Checker, and Titanium backup before the SD card stopped working. Is there any way I can try to fix this??? Kinda worried I received a defective unit.
you need to wipe data then reboot you will find the problem is fixed

Unfortunately I tried this a few times to no avail. Fortunately for anyone else with this problem I think it's fixed. After wiping I ran Fix Permissions in TWRP... that seems to have done the trick. I'm up and running now, no bugs. Thanks for the input!

sounds to me you somehow erased your data partition and didnt wiped/format it.

maybe a twrp or bootloader unlock problem ?
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.
