I had rooted and everything was working great I keep getting 3 google updates (for which I delete the system files for). After which, boot would hang on Samsung logo. I then ODIN the rooted AP file with the BL, CP, and CSC as anyone would normally. Galaxy Store and Galaxy Weather do not show up (though the original system files are there; when you click on the to install (which would normally as an update), it asks as if they are not already installed, attempts to install then fails.
I fixed the problem by moving from priv-app to app then rebooting. Attempt to run, then it kept closing. Then, move back to prvi-app, then reboot. Run again and updates; works normally.
I could probably do the same with the Samsung weather app but I have 3 others that are better

Anyways I had the great idea of rooting my newly purchased TAB 4. I too used Odin 3. I loved the fact that I was successful at gaining root without data or app loss,. though slowly I began to see pop-ups pertaining to apps on my sd card. After awhile, I was seeing more pop ups on my screen for apps that began to stop working. Most importantly Google Play store. I panicked and decided to unroot without backing up. After that, I tried to factory restart. Being that I was no longer rooted, I figured it was safe to restart from scratch. What was I thinking? It all started over again, only this time with the out of the box look. Honestly I have only done the whole root process a couple of times and from what I understood it seemed to be fairly easy according to the process explained to me. All was well until I couldn't gain access to my apps. or for that matter download new ones. Is my Tablet dead or is there a possible answer? Does anyone have any suggestions on what I could do?
Thanks

Search in Google for gapps. Pick the right one for your android version ex kitkat 4.2.2. Your gonna need to flash a custom recovery like twrp to flash the gapps zip on your tab 4. What tab 4 model do you have?
Forget gapps. I was recently having this problem in which my google play stopped over and over again. I saw everywhere that this problem occurs because of host file, they said that erase the file on system/etc/hosts but it doesntdoesnt work for me.
All you have to do is (which i found out very consequently) to carry google play to sd card and then to carry again to system file. Of course first you have to root again to carry google play (system application) to sd card aand then again to system file by root explorer.
Hope this will useful for you.
Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.
Hi,
using stock nougat with security patch from october, latest release, debloating the rom with titanium, only safe apps i thought, live wallpaper, chrome, excel, power point....
..device stuck on bootscreen, that samsung galaxy a6 one before second step samsung letters animated appear.
while on first try i removed knox, my interests, samsung billing and so on ending in stuck boot i second try only deleted these office things and chrome again on reboot i get stuck.
many people offer lists for apps safe to remove which contain even more system apps and it works?
disable in titanium and hit restart, is that maybe the wrong way?
booting in twrp and doing a wipe does not give me a boot back(
There might be something wrong with your code that you execute while you flash the zip, or maybe you removed something important.

hi, wipe all partition exept memory card and flash another rom custom on XDA>>> revolution , xperience os etc... (debloating rom on os 7.0) reboot and wait.... good luck
I removed some stock apps using adb, and something broke my second screen. Everything seemed benign, but I jacked up something. Now my phone keeps displaying "Unfortunately, second screen has stopped." Thanks!
Do you have a Nandroid of your install or backups of any of your apps through TiBackup?
Non rooted with no backup
No.
What model do you have?
Just use one of the unbricking methods here on xda to reflash stock rom and you should be fine. Use LG UP to flash the latest kdz.

In had this happen many times tweaking things through adb. Never did figure out what I did to disable the screen. I found a simple factory reset fixed it. Assuming your are not rooted and just forced an uninstall of apps via Adb.
I had this happen (on VS995 i.e. Verizon non-rooted on Oreo) after I used adb to uninstall the 3 weather packages (com.lge.sizechangable.weather, platform & theme.optimus) since I don't use the weather widget. Reinstalling from the original apk files fixed the problem; they were listed as Weather, Weather Service (this one fixed it) and Weather Theme. So my guess is one of the packages you uninstalled. I tried disabling them first but couldn't, thus the uninstall. Couldn't reinstall through adb but just running the apk install once I found where they were hiding in the file system fixed me up. Argh!
Can any of you guys co firm if the Netflix App shows up for you on Google Play. It used to show up for me but it'a not showing anymore.
Normally, this happens on tablets where the ROM has been tampered with in some way (installed root, recovery, etc). Fortunately, you can simply download the APK and install it manually.

Rooting the device doesn't do it on it's own. I discovered that what did it was modifying the build.prop
I ended up reflashing the tablet with the stock firmware and rooting it again. I purchased it recently and have been tinkering with it a lot, so I neeed to reflash anyways.
