Hi,
I new to rooting and android and have some questions.
I think I corrupted the google framework on my phone.
I rooted my TMobile SGN2 using the*toolkit and Odin and SU on my phone. I used Option#2-Flash insecure boot image, root and install busybox" . I also installed Titanium Backup Pro and backed up all of my apps but I didnt do a full image backup using CWM or anything*similar*
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6BweCW5ck8.
I also used this method to add the wifi hotspot:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974109
The phone worked fine for about 1 week but then*I then decided to call Tmobile support because I was having data speed issues on vacation and they told me to reset the APN and Search for Mobile Operators in the Mobile Network settings. *I forgot about the APN changes I had made and it restored the original APN to the factory settings. *
Now I have the following issues with my phone.
1) I constantly get this error and it freezes my phone for 15 seconds. "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped"
2) If I goto the gmail app it says, "gmail has stopped" and it doesnt load
3) Now I cannot*load google play store any more so cannot install apps or do updates.
4) My*AllShare Cast Wireless physical Hub tries to connect to phone but doesnt connect anymore.
I have tried emptying the google files cache and stopped and restarted all of the google services, tried rebooting phone, taking out sim card and even went back the the original APN but the problem is still there.
What should I do?
1) Call Tmobile and see if they will send me a new phone? *I do have insurance but the phone is now rooted.
2) Just do a factory restore using this method?*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaZiO8vfrME
If I do a factory restore and the phone still has issues, will they be able to tell I rooted if I decide to use my insurance and get a new phone?
3) Try to use SU or some other way to just fix the issues I have?
PS, when I try to use my wifi hotspot now, the Tmobile Tethering wants me to active and setup their service, so Im no longer able to use my hack.
Please help me.
Thanks!

I figured it out! It turned out to be some kind of an error while updating the apps from play store. In the application manager there was a disabled update process which after turning it back on worked liked a charm (scroll all the way down to the bottom in the APP MANAGER-->ALL and it will show any disabled apps. Renable the app. I also decided to clear cache of all of the google services, gmail, app store, internet, etc. and then I deleted my google account. I rebooted the phone and added the google account back and viola... Its all back to normal.
But now that my wifi hotspot is not working, should I try this hack instead?
This application requires a "rooted"-device and (probably) a custom-kernel which supports netfilter (iptables). I only rooted my device but no custom kernel? Will it still work for me?

Alright, this is an interesting one.
So I was on CM 10.2 for the longest time, then I tried CM 11, then finally used SlimKat for a while. Everything was working pretty well on the 4.4 ROMs, except for occasional LTE drops where it just refused to go back to LTE.
Anyway... I decided to go back to a 4.3 ROM. I flashed SlimBean 4.3 first via TWRP. No issues on boot up, LTE works, IMEI intact, WiFi, data, all working. I'm also able to sign in to my Google account - but it only partially works (see screenshot). I also can't sign into any Google services... Play Store, Play Music, Ingress... I just keep getting the "problem communicating with Google servers" error.
Now, I've since tried CM 10.2 again and I've even Odin'ed back to TW 4.3 (MK5). I've fully wiped each time - including full data and sdcard wipe. Every single 4.3 ROM is giving the connection error. I tried going back to a KitKat ROM (CM11) - and it works! No sign in error!
Any ideas what could be causing this?
This same thing happened to me just last night on my Galaxy Nexus after attempting to go back to 4.2.2. The problem turned out to be something to do with 2-step verification. I went to accounts.google.com and disabled 2-step verification, deleted my account on my phone, rebooted, then added my account again and it worked as it was supposed to.

Wow, I owe you one. I would never have thought to try that... But that was indeed my problem. Thanks!
Edit: So after setting up my account on my phone, I then re-enabled 2-factor verification and the error comes back. Did you ever manage to re-enable 2-factor for you account and have it work on your non-KitKat phone?

I did re-enable it and it works, although I did change it from text message to google authenticator.
Hello,
I had to reflash CM 10.2.1-d2att after a failed OTA 4.4 update but I haven't been able to properly sync my Google account with 2-step auth enabled. Wiping and re-flashing new ROMs hasn't fixed anything so my temporary fix has been to disable the 2-step auth. I have tried switching code methods (from app to text message and back) but that hasn't worked. Syncing with password only then enabling 2-step also fails.
Any other suggestions?
I have literally said yes to updating every time it pops up. I know it's the same, because it's the same size every time (293.3 MB). Not to mention I've said "accept" every time, installed, reboots my device, then couple days later it tells me to do it again. Another thing to note are the same 3 systems apps asking to be updated (Voice Mate Speech Pack, Voice Mate, Voice Mate Engine).
Text from the update:
This update will ensure your device is working at optimal performance with the Sprint Network. The update will require that your phone is rebooted and it will not be available for emergency calls while installing the software.
My LG G3 is the Sprint variant (ls990), rooted via Stump Root and on the stock android. I have used G3 TweaksBox, as well as installed Xposed.
PM me for a link to the screenshots.
Anyone with an answer? Google only refers to Lollipop updates that are still not here anyways

You know OTA`s will only be installed when a device is unrooted and doesn`t have any system modifications. Either disable OTA notifications or flash a stock rom and have root removed or flash a custom recovery and rom.

Yaar my issue still exists its not rooted and I am using in Pakistan - also my Roaming setting crashes as soon as I open it. Would be better to root and add custom ROM to it?
Hi,
I'm fairly new to the Android rooting community, that said I have been jailbroken on iOS since the days of 1.1.2 and have rooting experience with KitKat. I have a Nexus 5X and after rooting, the phone worked fine. I installed TWRP 3.0.2 and Xposed framework, but for some reason I was unable to get Xposed to work. After a week of no issues with the phone, the Play Store stopped working, and Hangouts failed to send messages. I could send SMS via Messenger app and would receive the replies in Hangouts. I did a factory reset, and now I am unable to do anything. I cannot login to my google account, use the play store. Whenever I do anything I get a message that says:
Couldn't sign in
There was a problem communicating with the google servers.
Try again later.
I've searched the web and the forums for issues like this and can't find anything. I would really appreciate the help. It may be a simple mistake that I made as I am not fully aware of how the Android filesystem works.
Also when I check for updates, it stays that the last time it checked was: 12/31/1969. My clock is set correctly and I am connected to Wifi.
Wow!!! What ROM and gapps are you running?
I haven't seen this since my LG G2 a couple years ago. Hop in date and time in your settings and turn off automatic date and time and manually add it... Unless you're saying its right there.
I would try going to TWRP and wiping.
Wipe/advanced and then check every box except for internal storage. Then hit home and go back to install, choose ROM then gapps then vendor.
Xposed has to be installed as a zip from recovery before you can install/use the apk (in 6.0.1 anyway-use arm64).

What happens if you try on mobile data?

Unfortunately I can't use data either since I am unable to activate my project Fi service (since I am not able to make any data connection).
I've resolved this by wiping and installing PureNexus. No idea what was going on with the factory ROM though.

Any chance you changed your Google account password around the time you reset the phone? I think there is some lockout mechanism if they detect password change then factory reset. I believe it is something like 72hour hold.
Hello. Im here after wasting above month on official MIUI and Google forums. Xiaomi never answered, and Google is telling me "this is not proper thread" everywhere, and it looks like they have no support for my phone.
So problem is, after upgrading to Android Pie, my wifi stopped working for Youtube, Gmail and System Updates. Those 3 Necessary apps for me need to, MUST work on wi-fi.
What i have done so far:
- Changed router
- Wiped phone (at least 9 times)
- Flashed Official rom from MIUI page..... (few times)
None of them worked plus i got another problem. After flashing Android 8.1 from miui, my sim slots have swapped in system - now sim 1 is sim 2, and sim 2 is sim 1. I knoew it may happen, but even on 8.1 wifi have not fixed itself, so i doubt its something with device, but with some drivers.
I also downloaded ROM from MIUI in Pie version (released week ago or so) and it also not working, same issue. I even had downloaded some update on first pie version. Now its very strange - when i had first Pie (before flashing 8.1) i have downloaded update - to seek for updates i need to use mobile data - thanks for my location only 2G is working, so its slow as hell, when update was found - i downloaded it with wi-fi.
With Youtube its also strange - i can make it working by turning ON wi-fi, launching app, turning wi-fi OFF, and ON and voila. Sometimes it works. I started also using "Secure VPN" app to make Youtube loading - it works, but not in way i wanted to - i need YT working for chromecast - with VPN i cannot connect to chromecast.
Finally Gmail - it sometimes - very rare working on wi-fi, but very soon after i think it fixed itself it again stop to working.
For flashing i tried used mi flash tool, and script commands included in image folder
You can probably try that : https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78496783&postcount=40
Edit : this kind of stuff is a bit sensitive, keep in mind you can brick your phone, I don't know if it works I haven't tried myself, this is just a suggestion that looks similar to your problem (Sim swap, and it makes sense to me that the modem.img is also managing the wifi board (but really not sure about that).
BTW, I would do that with the Oreo ROM since I think the message is about Oreo. Then you can upgrade to pie again and see if you still have problems.
In my case, enforcing ipv4 in the router / access point settings has repaired WiFi.
I had issue with twitter, twitch, sometimes YouTube. I Could not access some websites.
I have no ipv6, i have tested this on 2 routers, now i'm checking 9.6.4.0 rom as i heard it have proper modem.img.
#kidoucorp - i'll try this also. I have tried updating to pie 3 times - i havent writed about this
So currently i'm out of options. Tried solution from your link, but it doesnt work
Wifi have worked like a charm after flashing 9.6.4.0 but my sim card wasnt working, system was saying its sim 2, so i wiped it for sure, now wifi is not working again, even after second flash with solution from the link. I wasnt able to login into google accounts, so i tried these steps from google help :
"

Go to settings>storage> Apps>application manager> Google services frame works> clear data ( below Android 6.o)
Restart device,
Go to settings >account >add account> select Google,
Add account.
Still problem persist,
Try after few hours.
"
And now i have signed into google, but google play store is plain white page. It wont download any updates as wifi is not working, and on LTE/3G/2G i cannot seek for any updates (default play store setting to download only on wifi). Android one is trap, never gonna buy device with this. Looks like i'm gonna try to sell this phone, but i dont know whos gonna buy it.
Any more ideas?
So i make it workable, but i cant login into damm google serwers. I hate everything that startd with G and have 2 oo inside.
What i have done :
- Downloaded 9.6.4.0 Fastbot image from here : https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/how-to/ota-v9-6-4-0-odlmiff-t3823913
- unlocked bootloader again
- Flashed image without any changes via miflash
- On first config i choosed to not connect with mobile data or wifi, just skipped it.
- I configured phone once i saw desktop;
- turned off localisation, BT, switched to 2G, configured APN's,
- Configured gBoard, disabled Find my device, disabled FMD from administrators of device, disabled smartlock, and configured google settings so it cannot collect so much my data
- configured sounds, AND WIFI.
- Once i had wifi connected i went straight into SYSTEM UPDATES.
- I saw IT IS DOWNLOADING UPDATE FROM NOVEMBER without any notification. Pissed off about it, i went to developer settings and turned off auto updates.
- Went back to System updates and it was freezed on searching bar and nothing more, so i enabled autoupdates back, i get error it could not update, and in second try it updated.
- YT is working but i cant sign in to google serwers, "try again later".
So now i think i get what is hapening here. Android Pie, Google new owner, everyone have problems "with wifi" - that all BS.
Nobody have problems with Wi-Fi - wi fi is working well, in chrome, or any web browser its working, so DEVICES ARE FINE. Its Google serwers, google apps (using THEIR SERWERS) not working. So i guess new owner have no control ower everything and serwers have half of its speed, so lot of users sometimes have working gapps, sometimes not. If it could be only apps i at least could login into damm google account. What is not fitting into my idea is why PC versions are working OK - mobile devices are using different serwers?
PS : If anyone have Pie and having issues with wifi - try to logut from google account. All should start to works.
PS 2 : i logged into google store via secure VPN - again wifi is not working without VPN.
Phone is useless. LTE and 3G are working 1/5 its speed, its better to use 2G, Wi-Fi is not working on Google Apps. System updates are not working (infinite searching). Only thing that works are browser, messenger, SMS, calls, Deezer.
I dont get how people can not have this issue at all, what its dependent? I tried creating new google account - phone will not login into it. "Problems connecting to google serwers, try again later". Its most sh***y ROM ever created. Never had so much troubles on any custom rom on any phone. Thank you Google, f u G.

Have you tried Settings - System - Reset Options, then reset the WiFi from there?

Did you update the apps not working to the newest version? Otherwise if you have an unlocked bootloader (which i guess if u used the fastboot flash scripts) you could try to flash opengapps with twrp. Or you could get a logcat on a fresh installation and see if there is really everything ok with the rom.
have you tried joneplustool, you need root, but i did was toggle wifi bonding and my wifi started working fine, only had to do it once, but i suggest to flash magisk and use qualcom wifi bonding module.

All apps are updated, Google Plays Store is normally working, device is certified and udpates are normally working (for apps). Only problem was loggin into google account but after 7th or 8th try it worked. I dont have custom TWRP and have locked bootloader (scripts are doing it manually after finishing the flash). I dont try with TWRP and custom ROM's as i'm not familiar with it on this device (I have installed multiple mods - roms, recovery's. modems, etc on Redmi Note 4, but it was much easier). I'm also not familiar with logcat and its script language.

Well, at my work WIFI is working fine (for while), i have straight connection in work. In home, "friend" is sending me a signal (but its very hard to ask him for help) and i'm receiving it via wi-fi in my home. What he told me, i dont have ipv6 (he's not also). I tried 2 routers in my home - 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz - both same issue. In work i have 5Ghz, but 5 is not fitting to my home - i got low signal in the bottom of the house while router is on upper floor, lot of metal tubing, etc. its old building style home and it have some cons and props.
Well, friend have changed something about DNS, system updater, youtube started working, he said there was some problems with 8.8.8.8 on my phone. after 15 minutes system updater again searching for updates infinite time, in 2G it works flash fast. Youtube still works, but who know how long... Any ideas?
BTW xda page also wont load on wifi....
