[Q] Help please, screwed up ROM installation - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

Hi guys I hope i'm in the right place.
So i've had a samsung galaxy s3 t999v for 2-3 years now and just yesterday i decided to root and upgrade the rom.
so i've been messing with it and now in a difficult situation...
I installed Lollipop Custom ROM...
i followed this link
Everything worked out, i had installed the ROM and was working, but I hadn't put installed the GAPPS and when I tried to just get the apk files which i did but google services would keep crashing.
"unfortunately google services has stopped".
Now you may say, oh just go into recovery mode and reset to factory or w.e, well that's the thing... I can't get into Recovery mode.
and that's where I am now... Help.

You can factory reset the phone in Settings > Backup and reset > Factory data reset. If that doesn't work, what happens when you try to get into recovery? It probably wouldn't hurt to try reflashing your recovery.

[Q] rooted - gapps not working

So in my infinite drunken wisdom I decided to root my Galaxy last night...
(First time I root a cellphone, I have rooted Kindles before)
I found a video online, followed directions and it was a breeze..
Until I decided it was not "custom" enough and I install CyanogedMod
Google was missing so I downloaded, boot phone and install from boot
Some APS installed, some did not...
When I reboot my phone there is a flashing window, I can't really tell what it says because it goes away before I can read it
---
I know I messed up something...
There is no keyboard now...
Unfortunately, Android keyboard (AOSP) has stopped
Appears when I try to use keyboard
How can I make it work?
Please help
go into recovery mode clear data/cache/dalvic. now reflash your rom with the gapps package clear cache/dalvik reboot
Yeah...
Is not working
Phone starts with "updating apps" # of 83
After the updating is done, cyro starts again... and I get the "Keyboard" is not working message
OK, i already did the whole process a couple of times...
I keep getting the same error, the keyboard
I think the problem is with cyanogen, i don't know how to uninstall/replace it
OK, i got it working
I had to install a different version of gapps
gapps-jb-20130301-signed
that version did it for me
thanks for your help, though

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod updates no connection to Play Store

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,
retnuh
Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.

Error downloading app from Play Store

I took my GNex in the evening from the Assistance Center where they changed my broken MicroUSB port.
They flashed on it 4.0.4 ICS and they unlocked the bootloader.
I update the system with OTA to 4.3 stock.
In order to try the Xposed Framework I used the Toolkit to take root access.
Then, connecting my Google account, when Play Store started to install all of my apps it prompted out an infinite list of error:
first (403)
then (920)
Flashed two times 4.3 stock via Toolkit, locked and unlocked, rooted and unrooted but... nothing.
Also tried to delete my account, delete play store data, delete framework data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik... nothing works.
Phone is uselss in this way... so if anyone has figured out what to do, please let me know.

I seem to have the same problem. I can't update nor download apps from the play store because I keep getting 403 errors.
Everything was fine until I flashed CM REMIX rom. That's when I started getting the errors. However nobody is complaining about anything like this on their thread. I've also tried using different gapps packages.
Could it be a server side thing? My other devices seem to be working fine on the same network...

I saw on another android board that this is happening also on some brand new Nexus 5, activated just today.
Almost sure it's a server side thing at this point.

If it is, I hope it gets fixed soon, coz my phone barely has any apps right now...
If it's not a server thing I'll try to flash my old rom to see if it helps.

Since you are flashing the official 4.3 rom, I really think the problem will just go away by it self (hopefully very soon)
Edit: It started working now all by it self!

The problem disappeared in a couple of hours. It was a server side problem for sure!

[Q] System errors even after a factory reset, help?

Thanks in advance for any advice given!
I was running Mahdi Rom, one build behind the latest, and all I can remember before things went tits up was I was updating a couple of apps through the play store.
Then I started getting repeated androidsystemui processs ended errors every few seconds. I rebooted into recovery and wiped everything through TWRP. Still got system errors after reboot, couldn't even get through the google account login and sync.
Downloaded the LG mobile support tool and flashed back to total stock -- can't go wrong, right?
Now I'm getting android.system.acore proccess ended errors, and Google Play won't run at all. Any hope, or am I fried?
Fingers crossed,
Yojimboj

Seems Google Play Services is messed up.
Try flashing the proper GApps .zip from CWM and see if it works (Google it).
If it doesn't help or you don't know about it, leave it and do this:
As you have CWM installed, install this zip: Lollipop 5.1 from recovery.
This definitely solves the problem
I used the master stroke...flashed whole rom again
Solved....and thnx for the reply
