Ok, so right now I have a huge problem and I'm having a freak-out. I have the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4, which is rooted. I think I tried to back up my rom through clockworkmod and then it said it would "try to fix root permission" (The backup did not work, btw--I got an error that read something like "MD5 Mismatch!"). When I booted the device back up a box kept on popping up reading "Unfortunately, System Manager Application has stopped." Whenever I click ok, the box just reappears again and I can't do anything. I tried to do a restore with Titanium Backup but I don't think that worked. I did a factory reset and this error is still appearing. I did remove Carrier IQ and I read some other forums which had something relating the deletion of Carrier IQ to this problem. This is really starting to make me frustrated, because I can't tap anything on the phone except the ok button on the error message. I need help ASAP, thanks!!!!
UPDATE: I managed to access the Play Store and download Titanium Backup to restore my system data. Now the popup errors change to "Unfortunately, Dropbox/Google Play Store/etc." Not sure what to do.
Anyone got a solution? I've been working all day on this...
Easiest solution is to just flash back to stock firmware, or flash a custom ROM..

I was actually in the middle of doing that, I'm downloading the stock rom right now, it's taking like 2 hours. If by chance this has anything to do with the carrier iq app, will the stock rom reinstall that?

If by stock ROM you mean firmware, then yes.. If you really care about it just flash a custom ROM, they should all be carrier IQ free

Flash this http://db.tt/3i5sQZ5V
Just ignore the text its made of another 1 of.my zips lol.
Tried to flash kb.zip... failed
tried to force stop, clear data/ cache/davlik failed
I might just download a copy of a custom keyboard (keyboadr pro) from store and load the ics keyboadr on keyboard pro...a little more customizable too.
Reading about the error I foudn that it might have to do with the kernel (as opposed to the rom). So I wouldn't jump the flashing the restore bandwagon so fast

Since a few people ran into this issue I would leave the Samsung keyboard out of that Turboslim script. It was the only keyboard along with voice that worked. I would get the same error off of different ones in market. What is it that messes up those keyboard but not the Samsung one is the question.
I put on AOKP last night so this isn't a worry for me right now. If you have the samsung keyboard as standalone and can post it as an apk or zip, it would be really nice for those who are faicng the same dilemma and fall upon this thread or for when I go back to that rom
I received the notification to update this morning to 4.4, however the update started to apply, it kicked it out with a suspected root error. Before applying the update, I had already uninstalled Xposed and unrooted my phone, so I am not sure what set off the root checker. I was wondering what my options were at this point. I know I can flash back to stock, but I would like to avoid this if at all possible. Are there any alternatives, or will I be forced to flash back to stock?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm having exactly the same issue. I used the one click root method and have unrooted using full unroot in SuperSu.
But it appears full unroot per SuperSu is not enough? I tried root checker in Play Store and it says I am not rooted.
When I run the install it takes a long time to download and gave 0x13e error after the reboot while upgrading.
I also tried the LG PC Suite but it says my phone has the most current version, that is weird...
This OTA seems to be very picky as I was able to update in January 2014 fully rooted....
I wonder if I need to flash the IOT and go through the hassle of reinstalling all apps and config....that's a lot of hassle...

It is very strange but if I try update recovery it says my battery does not have enough charge. (but battery is at 100%).
I even bought a new battery. I did disable carrier iq spying service before I unroot.
Do I have to enable carrier iq spy in order to upgrade?

Your phone needs to be 100% stock in order for OTA updates to work. This means:
no custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, etc)
all bloatware must be present
you can't be rooted
all system services must be like stock (this includes carrier IQ, so yes, it needs to be reenabled).
If you can't get the OTA to update after fixing everything, try flashing this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760895
This IS the ATT stock ROM, but mildly debloated. The creator only debloated things that could be installed via the Play Store though (like Google Music, Newstand, Books, etc), so there isn't anything like the remote app or something missing.
I flashed this version because I'm too lazy to try and return my phone to pure stock just to get the OTA and then have to reflash root and a custom recovery. Too much work for me.
EDIT: I'm not too sure what's going on with your recovery... I hope someone else can answer that for you.
The easiest thing to do is just flash the 4.4.2 Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760895
This route saves allot of time having to flash back to pure stock, wait for your phone to receive the update again, and your phone taking forever to download said update.

Thanks a lot. This is my wife's phone so she'd rather not to update if a data wipe is required. She's actually quite happy with 4.1.
Anything extra would only be a "good to have". I think I'll keep it on 4.1 until she switches to another phone.
I did download the slightly customized stock rom so that it could be updated in the future.
In fact, I still have stock recovery and the only reason I rooted was to disable carrier iq because it was doing funny things with the GPS, very annoying.
There is no other way to disable carrier iq without rooting...unfortunately...

If you flash that ROM over her current stock ROM, it should act just like an OTA update and replace the JB OS with the KK OS. It should also replace JB version Google apps with KK ones too.
If you decide to do this, you will need to do 3 things:
1) Make a backup just in case, but then copy the backup to your PC
2) Backup the internal SD to a PC and then format the internal storage. (see *2 below as to why)
3) After the flash, you will need to install the apk from the following thread and use it to install a Kitkat compatible CWM. If you don't while in recovery at any time, you may get stuck in what's called the Recovery Bootloop. Basically, every time you try to reboot the phone into the system (whether from a powered off state or from recovery), you will always go back to recovery.
The only bad thing about this recovery is that it can't read external SD cards, so anything you want to flash/backup will need to be stored on internal storage.
*2) Kitkat uses a different directory system for internal storage. If you were to not wipe the internal SD and managed to get the OTA working, it would wipe the drive for you automatically (which means all your data would be gone!).
However, with this flashable stock ROM, what will happen instead, is that all your data will remain, but will be hidden from view/access. If you have root, you can get it and move it, but it's a pain. Otherwise, your files are hidden from you, yet the system reads X amount of your internal storage as being occupied by "Miscellaneous" files, yet shows that nothing is there.
So just backup the files, then format the internal storage (which will leave her apps alone) before updating. Then flash that ROM and then copy the files back over.
All this is up to you and your wife as to whether or not you deem it to be worth the effort.
I rooted, S-offed, and flashed my phone with a 4.3 rom (Stock+). Everything is great, but the problem is that my phone keeps re downloading OTA updates and then telling me I can't update since system is modified. I selected the option to download only on WiFi in settings, but it continues to download using my data. It's used over a gig of data so far, and I'm nearing my limit, so I'm forced to keep mobile data off all the time. How can I disable these updates?
I've tried freezing the HTC DM process, but i guess it's not the right one. I can't find any forum posts which tell what I should freeze. I will flash another rom eventually, but I don't really have time to backup all my data and apps at the moment. Just want to be able to use data with out worrying about it getting sucked up.
Edit: On 4.4.2, not 4.3

All you have to do is flash stock recovery long enough for the update to complete

Don't want to update the phone though. Wouldn't that just update it to a new stock firmware and remove root?
I should also mention this is a T-Mobile rom as I'm using the phone unlocked on it, if that makes any difference.
I'm still having this issue, does anybody have a solution?
Why don't you want to update?
I can't guarantee this will work on 4.3 but try this.
Download DisableService from Google play
Under system tab find Google framework services or something like that
Disable system update service
If you can't find it search for system update service with the included search
This might get re-enabled when you reboot your phone though so just uncheck it if it comes back when you reboot
Sent from my HTC One_M8
I found the service, but the odd thing is that it was already unchecked. I reselected it then unchecked it again, hopefully it won't come back. Thanks
If that doesn't work you can try using titanium backup to freeze updater

Phone's rooted, install was success, and subsequent restarts after that was fine. But now I removed some Verizon and LG crapware and after a restart, I get Failed to boot and then it loads the Verizon Flash screen, and occasionally gets to "Android is updating" and loading apps and immediately crashes. Any tips?
Try a factory reset? Root will stay.

Yes the KDZ is out right now, but I have no idea how to flash it.
Edit, do I go through the process in the root thread but replace the file listed with the kdz?
Ouch...this is why I only disable system apps that I'm not sure about, as opposed to actually removing them.
I'm really not sure what you can do if a factory reset isn't working? Flash back to stock is the only thing I can think of?

Sorry I'm a bit busy at the moment. I've never used that return to stock before anyway. Should be easy enough. it's the only thing I can think of trying.
You're not supposed to conpletely uninstall system apps when on stock rom. This will result in security errors (os checks its system files to see if it's been tampered with) and then refuse to boot. This is not specific to the G4 but almost all LG devices
we should probably start a list of bloat that we can actually uninstall/remove as opposed to simply blocking!
There is a DeBloater thread already here. I don't recall a list of what is OK to remove, but people have been posting their log files or which ones THEY removed.
I'd like to add, that I was able to get back to stock with ease.
How were you able to get back to stock?

I just went through this and I think I figured out which app is causing the constant reboots. Mine was literally rebooting approximately 100 times per day (not exaggerating)...Use Titanium Backup and freeze "Android System Webview" so far that seems to have solve my issue. Hope this helps anyone experiencing this reboot nonsense! Good luck!
So I ran into this same problem and after reading this thread about removing system applications on a stock rom I've learned my lesson. I just finished using a Debloater application on my rooted G4 and everything was operating smoothly while I was using the phone. Initially I only blocked the apps I was focusing on (some 30 of them) but eventually ended up deleting them. I decided to reboot my phone just to cover my bases and now I'm getting a boot screen error underneath the LG symbol that says "Start up failed. Your device didn't start up successfully..." I'm able to boot into the stock recovery and attempted a factory reset to no avail. I also attempted to run USB Debugging but it just reset and went back to the bootloop.
Any advice on how to flash back to stock?
If need be and flashing back to stock isn't necessary I have screenshots of the apps I deleted thanks to the backups created by Gates Jr's Debloater app.

Disregard my previous request for help I was able to follow the KDZ flashing method posted earlier in this thread and now my apps are optimizing great success!
So, i installed kingroot on my lg g2 and i figured i should try to get rid of some bloatware. I didnt make a backup of any apps. So i uninstalled a couple apps that that looked safe to delete and anyways it all works fine, until i restart my phone. Im getting like 3 error messages system UI is not working and a couple other apps, i cant navigate anywhere. The settings on the boot screen and i can navigate through them. I tried to flash the stock rom but since i have the sprint version and it has a different file type. All lg flash programs use kdz. I dont know how to reinstall the built in apps. Help, i know i was stupid for doing this and its all ny fault but can someone help me get it back to its original state. Thanks!
