[Q] (First Post) My phone is broken please help :( - Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok so I have the gt-i9195 s4 mini. It was rooted but I needed to update it so I decided to un root it. With the root installed I couldn't update I just got a notification saying it was modified :/ So basically after I un rooted it I still couldn't update. After finding out I still couldn't update I factory reset it. Even after that I couldn't update. I didn't want to f*** it up any more so decided I wouldn't update it and just leave it. All was going well I set it up fine but then I go to download an app but I can't sign in to the play store because it can't establish a connection. I google a fix and followed multiple guides but none have worked. Is my phone fixable? If anyone knows how I can fix this and update it to the latest update please tell me Thanks

Update after root ?

Hi Devs
I rooted my A100 ICS, couple weeks ago and now there an official update available OTA.
I hesitated to accept it, and then just downloaded it and install.
when it restarted a popup message says: update fail.
does rooting have anything to do with this .
is there any solution to this ?
Thanks
I have updated ota with a rooted tab, it went fine and justed needed to reroot with zernulls method.
If you removed any bloatware/system apps, it will fail. Hopefully you have a ti backup of everything.
Edit: if you need to reinstall a system app, you can try and go to /system/app, and click on the apk to reinstall it.

[Q] GS3 update error and Superuser pro issues.

So, my sprint GS3 is rooted with SuperSu pro. The Android version that is on my phone is version 4.1.1 I never had a problem with the phone until one day it prompted me to upgrade the software and I accepted. The update was never successful. I have a picture attached that shows error message it gave. SuperSU pros' icon also doesn't show up anymore on my phone. My phone is still rooted because I can use Titanium back up pro. It has been acting up more and more ever since that first error message.
I've tried searching for similar problems on this website as well as on others but haven't found anything that's similar. I hope the picture helps and someone else who's experienced a similar problem can shed some light on mine because it's driving me crazy.
Have you verified Root, like with Root Checker ? It's Free in the Play Store. Have you tried to Update SU ?
It sounds like you were rooted and tried to get the 4.3 update. Luckily for you it didn't take. If you want 4.3, I would suggest you flash the Knox free version. Just follow the install instructions in the OP and it'll get you back rooted. If you want to stay on 4.1, try flashing super su update through cwm if it won't install from the play store.

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!

Help me pls! could not use playstore/google service after root

As title, i root my tab s 8.4 today by the cf-auto root, after that i could not use any Google service.
i tried the method i could search on the forum, reset auto date/time, clear cache, delete google service data/ apps, update these service, factory reset, clean flash rom and its still not working. now i totally cannot download any apps from playstore or use apps that connected to google play.
update: after send to samsung service center, they could not found out whats wrong with my tab. They reflash local original firmware for me(before send i flashed a Russia firmware). somehow they able to erase all stuff very clean without leaving any trace that i mess up and it work perfectly. BTW they did do it free for me (under warranty even i rooted and trigger the knox to 1 with warranty void).

Thats a random one, best solution i can give you there is going into settings and doing a full reset, your tablet gets wiped but your personal documents get left...then when you sign back into google all ur apps should redownload themselves and your contacts and it will still be rooted m8....let us know how you get on pal.

Crikey....then i would reccommend
Flashing http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...recovery-twrp-2-7-1-0-touch-recovery-t2817100 , twrp recovery.
Then this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/prerooted-stock-touchwiz-rom-t2973107 t800/t805
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s/development/stock-tw-rom-galaxy-tab-s-8-4-t2995235 t700/t705
If this doesnt do the trick just dwnload the latest firmware for you from sammobile.com , extract the file inside the zip, use odin to flash it...this is the 1.6gb sized file im talking about, it will completely re go over EVERYTHING there is to go over except obviously your personal stuff...you will end up with an unrooted deep factory reset devices...then try another root method...if your feeling brave ...good luck m8

Hello. Does google play force stop or...? Does it say cant connect bla bla bla?
The only thing I can suggest is installing cm11 and flash the gapps package. It should remove google play and reinstall it.

Hey Thanks for the fast reply.
Well, it crashes all the time, have to keep hitting ok, so i uninstalled the play store etc. I rooted and wanted CM in the first place so this will be awesome If i can get it working. I noticed that the installer isnt supported but could you link me to the best tutorial to follow. I have only done this once on my S3.
Thank you in advance and peace.

Installer? You need to install twrp recovery. Just download flashify (from playstore) and install the latest twrp.
I assume you have the Tab S 8.4 SMT700? If so http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54549581 is the link and download for cm11. This is for google apps forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942
And download this for supersu http://download.chainfire.eu/supersu
Just download all that.
Heres a video I made for how to install cm12. The procedure to install is still the same. http://youtu.be/K96siaPKtrU

other solution i used, clear data, clean cache, uninstall update for playstore apps and google framework service, no luck.
then i do a factory reset, yet cant connect to playstore...last option, i do a clean flash from the rom i download, still the same
yesterday i send to samsung service center, they could not figure out whats the problem, had to left at there for further check
will update the problem from Samsung SC once i get my device back

un-root SM-T800

Hi all,
I wanted to start using my SM-T800 again. I had the last cyanogedmod installed and I noticed that I could not make Netflix to work.
Last week I tried to flash Lineage with Odin and it didn't work. The Odin msg was "establishing communication with the device" and then failed. I downloaded the official firmware from Samsung and tried to flash it without success.
This morning I flashed Magisk to try to make Netflix to work and after flashing it, TWRP asked me if I wanted to install Super SU as well. I said yes and when rebooting, it just stays in the logo forever. I can still access to download mode, though..
I made sure that the Samsung drivers were installed in my computer but I'm not sure what to do. I don't care if I lose the root.. I just need a working device. Is it possible to un-root it? What can be the issue that I'm not able to flash from Odin?
I know that there can be million reasons, but some ideas would definitely help.
Thanks in advance
I know that Netflix is not friendly to rooted devices or devices that were modded in some way. This used to manifest in Netflix disappearing from the Play Store on such devices. However, you could still manually install the Netflix using the apk file. There are repositories on the web that distribute the apks. You can google for them. This is how I installed Netflix on my Tab S (running stock MM, but rooted)
