I have a set of Sprint Tab E devices that seem to be getting stuck in an activation loop. These were all used so I have no idea what the previous owner did with them. When I boot into download mode, it shows 0x0 by the Knox Warranty indicator so it appears the fuse hasn't been tripped.
The device turns on, goes into activation, says it needs to reset, wash rinse repeat. Any ideas on what could cause this and how I might be able to fix it?
I also have another set that appears to activate but does not connect to LTE. I think these have had the software flashed at one point because the home screen after factory reset has a different background than the ones I've had that were good. I have not tried flashing anything as of yet.
Thanks for any and all advice, direction, etc!
I have found a solution to the activation loop for anyone who needs it.
Step 1: Ask Sprint care to do an OMADM Refresh. It can’t be any other kind of refresh. Must refresh OMA specifically.
Step 2: Reset the activation on the device:
1. Go to Apps -> Calculator (By default, Calculator app is located in Samsung folder) then type (+30012012732+
2. Dial ##72786#
3. Tap Yes
The device will activate once more. May loop once as well. Then it will stop looping.
For the tablets not connecting to LTE, I reflashed the stock software to the tablet and they now activate and connect to data. This created a new problem with google play services. When I try to access any of the google apps (play store, gmail, etc.) I get an error stating that google play services has stopped working. I've tried all of the following:
1) Clear cache and data of both google play store and google play services.
2) uninstall updates of google play store and google play services.
3) clear cache of google play framework
4) download and install latest google play services (not even sure if it was the right one. Tried armeablev07 no dpi.
5) factory reset (this stuck me in the "checking for updates" stage on one with google play services constantly shutting down. won't be trying this again)
I am completely at a loss at this point. My next step is to try rooting the device and uninstalling google play services all together then reinstalling with a fresh APK then removing root and/or flashing back to stock ROM. My concern is that this will tick the knox indicator and i'd prefer to keep it intact if at all possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
For anyone that can understand this, here is the logcat file from when I attempt to sign in to the google play store. Any ideas what is happening here?

Hi!
I've recently updated my rooted nexus 4, everything went ok, but now I can not open google play.
I have tried just about anything:
1. Clearing the cached data from google play app and and google play services.
2. Deleting the google account and re-adding it.
3. I have tried even to factory reset the device but this didn't help.
4. Verifying that Download Manager is enabled.
5. Uninstalling google play update through app management.
The crash report on java.lang.ClassNotFoundException and the cause is: Didn't find class "com.google.finsky.FinskyApp" on path...
Also whenever I try to get into recovery I get "No Command" error.
Please help me, I'm kind of lost here especially after I did a factory reset.
Thanks!
Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

hello, I use android 5.0 lollipop.
Google play doesn't auto update and doesn't show notifications for update waiting apps. When I clear "data" for Google Play Store it starts to show notifications, but when I open Google Play , it asks me about google campaigns and agreements, I accept it, and after this process problem starts again.
I am sure this is about the "data" that Google Play uses. Problem disappears when I clear data. Problem starts again after first usage. (first window)
I tried deleting cache and data for Google play services too. I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps.
Thank you.
Try updating the play store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
And clear cache/data for google services / framework
i tried, still no luck.
ive been having issues with updating apps on my s5.
i got an error code 963
it seems to be with apps ive moved to sd card.
i read something about new android OS after a certain version are not allowing apps to stored in sd card.
i unistalled playstore and reinstalled it and i aldo moved the apps to device storage and both those actions or one of them by itself allowed the apps to update
i dont know if it was just uninstalling the playstore or moving the app to device storage though. thought id share my experience
mine is the sm-g900r4

You already said "I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps"
What extra do you think you can achieve without re-flashing a ROM, that a factory reset couldn't fix?

sorry i am just a beginner user ,i have 2 questions
-if i do flashing rom will my phone out of warranty?
-can i see/change Google Play Store files on my phone? i have no root access
thanks.
No you won't lose warranty flashing STOCK ROMs with ODIN
You will lose warranty if you flash anything custom
Which Google store files are you talking about?
And if you had access to them, being a beginner, what would you be looking for, and what would you change, again, that a factory reset did not achieve ?
Unbelievable !
I flashed last stock rom but problem continues.
I check manually most days, and just update any that are sitting waiting
Not sure if there is like a set time period it waits before auto updating, but the notifications for available updates will likely only happen if you disable auto updates, otherwise it has no reason to tell you there are updates waiting, it will/should just update them and tell you once it's done
So try this:
1. Disable auto updates in Google Play settings
2. Wait for a few days until there are some updates available
See if you get notifications
If yes, try this:
1. Enable Auto updates in Google Play
2. Wait a full week without manually updating, see if they auto update
Hi all,
I have a G900I running Nougat. Recently My phone started getting slow, so I reset the phone. Here is where the issues occur, I had restored some apps and it worked for sometime but took a very long time to restore my existing apps that were installed, so I figured lets reset again and start without restoring at all.
Now the biggest issue is to get apps download at all. I can only update the existing apps that were installed. I have tried many solutions from google but no go from disabling the google play store app, clearing cache and for Google Play Services. as well. I keep on getting the Google play error of 905 and 495. I am quite stumped on how to fixed this issue.
Is there any method to fix this issue? I hope I am not resorted to root and install a custom rom to fix this issue. I have attached a screenshot of the stock rom I am running.
reset your phone from zero
i know it will take some time to configure your apps but it will fix your problems
NOTEont restore anything from google
Steps

go To wipe

Ok, just bought a US Cellular US996. Whenever I set up the phone, it wouldn't let me enter my google account. It just gives me a "There was a problem connecting to play.google.com" message. It does the same thing when I try to open the play store. I've factory reset it, removed my SD card, cleared data from the download manager, Google play services, play store, tried different data connections and I still cant even get it to the screen where it will let you enter your gmail account. The phone is rooted but i even restored it stock and it still does the same thing. Any one have any ideas?
Anyone??

hi rafe and everybody. this is my first comment!
i get the same thing as OP. i had factory reset the phone and had cleared all 'google app' data iirc. please help!
