[Q] "Script Failed" when using Backup add-on with Dropbox - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I"m attempting to use the Backup program add-on to automatically back up my Kodi installation to my Dropbox account, but keep getting "Script failed" error messages. I've followed Rob Weber's instructions on GitHub, I created a Dropbox "app key" and "secret" and input that into Backup's settings. I've accessed my log files to get the authorization code for Dropbox, and after going to the generated URL, Dropbox tells me "Success!" that I've connected my backup file to Dropbox. But when I go into the Backup add-on and try and do a backup, I get a "Script Failed" message. When the scheduled time comes to do a backup, again, I just get a "Script Failed" message.
Has anyone got the Backup add-on working successfully these days? Any advice on where I might be going wrong?

Doesn't appear to be a Dropbox-specific problem, as I was able to successfully connect with my Mac and designate that as the destination for the backup files. But Backup still throws up an error when initiating a backup.
Is anyone having success with this program add-on? Trying to figure out if it's something with my system or the add-on has issues.

In case anyone in the future has this same issue, I found that unchecking the option to compress the older archives solved the issue of Backup throwing an error message. Seems to be working well now, though I get a message saying "Not all files were backed up." Not sure what that's about, but…

It says that I would have to do a factory reset on the phone. I wonder if that will cause it to unroot.

After cloning a samsung gio s5660 through a CWM backup I started experiencing the same issue. Heres What REALLY happens.
Google authenticates you in their services trought unique "keys" which are automatically generated upon system installation / factory reset, so if you clone your device or install a rom which has these "keys" pre-installed, obviously, your rom will only autheticate you in google servers if your phone is the only one using the service at that given time... Upon failure, your phone assumes to be the one who's wrong, and google servers won't autheticate you until you either tell your phone he is not wrong (by deleting the data from play store, which resets its status and errors) or you change the "keys". SO, what can we learn from this? deleting the play store data IS a temporary solution, and won't solve a thing. Let's delete the duplicated keys shall we?
Navigate with your favourite folder explorer on your android (I use X-plore, you can tell me anything, there's nothing better) to the following directory:
- "(root)/data/data/com.google.android.gsf"
Now you have two real options, either you may delete the all folder, which was the perfect solution for me, since my rom is prepared to re-create it upon phone restart and new keys will be generated, OR, you might want to just delete the contents of app_sslcache inside com.google.android.gsf whish are THE KEYS I HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL TIME, YEEEIHHHH and reboot your phone...
Needless to say, take a nandroid backup before you do any of this...
Thank me later
For those who remember me from symbian s60v3 phones, yes, it is me, I'm back, and I've moved to the droid world, it's much better indeed

[Q] Market doesn't show my apps

I've got a problem with the Android Market whereby it will work as normal, allowing me to search for and download apps, but shows the error message "the server is not available..." whenever I select my apps. So, I can't see my apps at all.
I'm running AceSmod ROM and have cleared the market data but to no avail.
I found this in the logcat. Not sure if it helps...
"[24] BaseAction.run(): ApiException: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR
I/vending (16292): [1] BaseAction.displayErrorUi(): Server error in com.android.vending.MyDownloadsActivity$MyDownloadsLoader: com.android.vending.api.ApiException: Error from backend. Request=com.android.vending.model.AssetRequest, Response=INTERNAL_SERVICE_ERROR"
Any help would be appreciated.

Please help fix "Activation not completed"

My phone : SM-928P working ok, updated to 6.0.1 via OTA. But "activation not completed" notification can not complete, it's retry 5 times, and stuck. Please help me hơ to fix it. Thank so much!
Work-around
Hello! Go to applications and select top right corner to show system apps and search for system update. Then force stop. Its not a fully funcional solution but I won't bother you until next restart.
Other options:
Root it, and remove the message with idoneapp.
If you want to keep it unrooted:
Root it.
Install idoneapp
Remove the activation message.
install TWRP
Save a backup of the whole system with smart switch.
Unroot your phone installing Marshmallow stock rom.
Restore your last backup with smart switch.
Reboot the phone to enter in TWRP.
Reset your phone with TWRP: it will delete EVERYTHING except the internal content (pictures, videos, will be kept but all apps installation will disappear). The activation message will be showed just ONCE. Then it will disappear.
Install the apps one by one. You will have still all videos, pictures and documents. I don't know if you can restore again the last backup with smart switch... maybe it works, or maybe it reinstall the activation message, I didn't try this last thing.
Thank you so much, i will try! Maybe no root!

Urgent help needed! Can't sign into Play Store to install Authenticator!

Sorry, I know this isn't specific to the 10, but I'm desperate. I just wiped my phone and now I can't sign in to Google without the Authenticator app (which I can't get because I can't sign in). I can't change my 2-step verification settings from my laptop because it requires a code as well. What the hell do I do?!
Edit: I don't have backup codes, but I did setup a backup phone. When I click "Try another way to sign in" it doesn't show any backup options, though.
I've always just had it text me during first time setup..
Yeah, normally texting is how I get past it if I don't have the app installed did you not configure it with your phone number? I even have my wife's number as a backup to my backup
I did have a backup number, but for some reason it's not showing up in the options.

On the phone click "problem with code" and then select text, it will automatically receive the text code and enter it automatically
or
On the website click "Try another way to sign in"
In either case the only options were to enter the code from the app or initiate an account reset.

com.android.phone error - Can't access texts to backup before reset. Any ideas?

Error message: Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.
Problem: Pops up constantly.
Another popup keeps showing up too, and started about the same time as this one. "Currently unable to download. Try again later."
I have tried all the steps suggested on google. I have cleared caches, rebooted, gone into safe mode, etc..
I have called tech support. It all leads to a factory reset. The problem with that is I haven't been able to backup my sms/mms texts.
Anytime, I open the text app, as soon as I clear the error message the texts app shuts down. Additionally, anytime I try to backup data either to the cloud or otherwise it quits as soon as it starts.
Does anyone have any suggestions. I really want to save my texts. I would appreciate it more than words can say.
TIA
