I just recently rooted my phone using the newest root method for the 98.30.1 build. The phone was rooted successfully, but for some reason now, the Google Play Services crashes occassionally with a message on the phone that it stopped responding. I was wondering if anyone else if experiencing any issues with Google Play Services. Although this started to happen shortly after I rooted my phone, I don't believe the issue is related and is most likely being caused by something else. Anyone have any insight or solution to this?
Also, I was wanting to restore my phone to factory default, but was wondering if after I restore the phone, will I need to rerun the root tool to re-root the phone and/or reinstall the SuperSU app? I was thinking that the su binary and busybox are stored on the /system partition, so they shouldn't be affected, but would I then just need to install the SuperSU app from the Play Store? I am wondering if I would need to re-run the root tool or just install SuperSU from the app store for the phone to be rooted properly after a factory restore. Thank you in advance
Have you tried a safe boot?
PM notification is not on by default, btw.

Thank you for the quick response. I haven't tried safe boot yet, but I will definitely try it. Right now, I wiped the cache partition via stock recovery and am seeing if Google Play Services crashes again.
If I do decide to do a factory reset. What are the steps I need to do to ensure I keep root or can root again? I wasn't sure if I just do a factory reset and rerun the root tool, or do I just factory reset and install SuperSU through Play Store, or do I need to user OTARootkeeper to temporarily unroot and then factory reset and restore root? Just cautious to not mess up my phone. Thanks for all your help!

Or use SS Bootstrap as it gives you more options like BU before you wipe.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the 1.2.5i OTA that I received today has completely fixed the screen over-sensitivity issues for me.
I used to have a lot of issues with things like typing on the keyboard and scrolling through lists and the app drawer, but all those issues are completely gone now.
Also, the OTA did not mess with root. Root is intact.

My root is intact but everything else back to default factory settings and as titanium or the built in backup app don't work I now have to start again, i am really not happy would quite happily sell this phone now
Also there seems to be a bug with the new update where if you go into apps in the settings, it's force closes the settings app
Also since the update a lot of the system apps such as the backup and restore app force closes!

It must have been the update, because I have haven't changed anything else for it to happen, the update has fixed the screen sensitivity too which is good,but I am getting a lot of force closes, from settings app, backup and restore app, and few other system apps.
No issues
I had no issues with the update or any update. I still have root, settings are the same and all to data is there. Maybe your OTA packet got corrupted.

It may have done because I lost all of my settings, apps and data, root was fine but thinking of possibly going to custom rom soon but not which is the most stable with least bugs
No issues here.
Every OTA update has been fine and dandy. I still have root since 1.2.1.
you're not alone.

My girl's phone had something similar happen.
She updated to 1.2.5i OTA and lost everything - as if the phone went through a factory reset.
It even lost root. Irritated me to no end.
For reference, root was gained a couple of days prior on 1.2.4i through TWRP recovery and the supersu update 2.02.
The recovery was then flashed to the Find7 Mod recovery in the rooting thread on oppo forums.
I suspect that the OTA screw up may have been due to this Find7 mod recovery. I'm not sure.
How did you get root? and what recovery was on the phone when you did the OTA update?

I use the same modified recovery as I also used the same method for rooting on 1.2.4i. Even upgraded my supersu after rooting. It has to be something else.

hmmm, then I'm not sure.
Her x9006 (Int-EU) is less than a week old and had nothing significant done except OTA (to 1.2.4i) then root before the 1.2.5i OTA was released.

I had the same as you modded recovery, and I gained root at 1.2.4i (the same way too supersu update thru twrp, then flashed modded recovery) not sure what happened but am still getting force closes when I go into apps in settings and couple other system apps
Also I have the find 7 qhd version

Hmmm, when she gets back, I'll try to test if this modded recovery is indeed the issue.
I'm thinking of using the stock recovery provided by oppo on their forums.
Have you thought of doing full reflash to try and get rid of all the FCs?

Yeh you'll have to let us know what you find out, Yeh I'm thinking that to, i have got twrp installed at the moment but that was only to do a backup.
I have thought of doing full wipe and re-flash but I haven't got a way to restore everything because titanium backup or the built in backup app are not working

Ok, I did multiple tests, and am listing the 2 important ones.
Test 1
1. I reflashed back to 1.2.1i then OTA-ed to 1.2.2i (the next OTA it detected was1.2.5i), flashed TWRP and Update SuperSU 2.02 (to get root) then flashed the x9077-official-recovery-mod.
2. Installed some apps, changed some settings then OTA-ed to 1.2.5i - everything was deleted and I lost root after the OTA - essentially I had to go through the new phone start up menu (language, area, wifi, etc.).
*Initial problem replicated*.
Test 2
I did the exact same procedure again as in Test 1 step 1, but instead of the mod recovery I flashed the Stock Recovery for Find 7/7a (from the thread of the same name in the oppo forums, I used version 0712).
Then I again installed the same apps, changed the same settings and OTA-ed to 1.2.5i.
All the apps and settings remained but the phone lost root.
*Only significant delta between the 2 cases was the recovery version.*
Conclusion
The problem in my girl's case was the x9077-official-recovery-mod.img recovery. OTA-ing using that recovery caused her phone to go through a factory reset. This problem isn't present if the stock recovery direct from Oppo was used. Lesson learnt.
Hope this helps someone. Cheers.

Quick update, I switched the SU app from SuperSU to CWM's Superuser and that appears to have solved Titanium Backup issues (based on a thread in oppoforums).
It also made FolderMount usable (I set it up to link some folders from the internal storage to the external SD card).
Hope this helps.

I can confirm that switching to CWM's Superuser works. When I updated to 1.2.5i I wasn't able to restore my data for ANY of my apps via Rom Toolbox. I decided to replace the Superuser app caused I remembered that worked for me once with a custom rom on the HTC Amaze, and sure enough now my apps' data has been restored. Success. :good:

Hi, regarding the screen touch oversensitivity issue, just one question - are you using any sort of screen protector?
I have a tempered glass screen protector. I tried everything from 1.2.4i to 2.0.1i beta and the screen problem is there. Hearing good news about this 1.2.5i update and need somebody to confirm it works.
So I was playing around with my old Galaxy S3 and I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983489
I think it was really useful especially since i blew through dozens of roms and mods and what not.
So i was wondering, is there anything like this for the LG G3 (T-Mobile D851)?

Yeah just check every box in twrp when wiping. Just make sure you don't select the external or internal SD if you want to keep it intact.

That link wouldn't work for non root either. Just format the SD in settings the reboot and do a factory reset in the stock recovery.

Factory reset only. You can do that with or without root, you can also start it in settings. It will still go into recovery but automatically instead of you manually booting into it.
I hope I am posting this in the correct forum.
I am running the Note 4 with a stock rooted Lollipop rom, with a TWRP recovery. Starting yesterday, I have had problems charging the phone. Most of my cables will suddenly not charge the phone at all, or perhaps charge the phone for a couple of minutes and stop. I have found that if I turn the phone off and plug in the charger that came with the phone (the fast charger), it will charge very slowly, but steadily.
I did some reading on this and what could cause it. Since it happened with all my cables suddenly, when they were working fine the day before, I have to assume the issue is the phone itself, not my cables. It could be (and I am hoping it is) some dust in the USB port, so I am going to pick up some dust off and try to clean it that way. But if it's a hardware problem that needs to be addressed, I am a little hesitant to bring the phone into the Sprint store
where I got it because I have tripped the KNOX meter and assume I could have some issues with that. At the very least I assume I will have to return to the stock recovery if I don't want call attention to the issue at Sprint. Anyway, I would be interested in hearing from anyone else who may have had these issues on any suggestions they would have for my on my next moves.
Addendum:
Just realized I should mention that my carrier is Sprint and I am paying for insurance every month as part of my bill. I don't know if that makes any difference as to whether the rooting and Knox would be an issue or not.
=========================
Thanks.
Back in December the consensus was that Sprint didn't care at all about root or Knox trip. And Samsung had a one-time pardon on Knox trip regarding warranty repair.
Recently, a few have posted contrary to this belief. With Sprint warranty, I do believe it is OK to bring it in stock with Knox trip; just don't mention root or trip. Take it somewhere else if they refuse to help you.
That said, have you tried backing up your app data, removing sdcard and wiping everything several times, power down and Odin stock tar and checking charge feature? Worth a try. I'd even suggest trying the NIE stock tar if another tar fails.
Just do the wipes in TWRP and power down prior to Odin in download mode.

Thanks very much for this; very useful. I was going to try what you suggested, the problem I am having now implementing it is that whatever issue is happening with the USB port also seems to be keeping my desktop computer from recognizing the phone is plugged in. I tried going into download mode, connecting the phone to the computer with the original cable, and running Odin, and it does not appear. I can imagine this is going to cause me problems if I want to revert to stock recovery before I bring the phone in, as I assume I cannot use TWRP to replace itself with stock recovery, correct?
Yesterday the phone did charge for a while, all the way up to 60%, right after I wiped dalvik and cache. I was also able to charge it for a while when it was turned off. So I am still trying to sort this out. One additional thing: though I was able to charge for a while when it was turned off, I notice now that if I turn the phone off and plug in the charger, the phone does not show a charging image, but it does throb continuously while it is plugged in. Very odd.
You want stock recovery? Since Odin didn't work, you can try Flashify. Extract files from the BOB7 stock tar using PC, transfer via USB to storage and install the recovery.img using Flashify app from Google Play.
Can you use USB to transfer files?
Edit: you can get the stock kernel the same way but if you flashed a custom kernel, not recommended because the modules get modified. You'd need a system image for that. I don't know if Flashify is up that task out not.
Did you try Samsung KIES? You may run into the same USB issues but worth a try if you haven't.

I am using the Lollipop rom I got as an update from Samsung. Only thing I did was CF-Root it, and Flashify TWRP and install a few apps like Titanium Backup and the like. And however the standard method is to install Superuser, can't remember if I installed it via Flashify, Odin, or just sideloaded it as an app at this point. But I was not as flash-crazy with this phone as I have been with some in the past. So I would assume I have a stock kernel still.

I could use that to restore to stock? I will look into it.
Right now I have to deal with the issue that my battery is almost totally out because of my inability to charge via USB. I decided to deal with that by picking up the Battery charging station and backup battery from Best Buy on the way home (a useful thing to have anyway), but I am still planning on bringing this phone into Sprint and getting it fixed if I can. I've only had it for since the fall and I am paying a service contract.
Thanks again for your help
Yes, extract the file from stock tar to get the recovery and use Flashify to install the image.
Have you tried a factory reset? Do you have a lollipop nandroid to restore? I may have asked that already? If it's on the external sdcard, factory reset a few times and wipe internal storage and system a few times before restoring nandroid.
You can unroot within the SuperSU application if you take it back to Sprint.
Best wishes for a fix it replacement.

Factory reset should be a priority and it shouldn't unroot you. I don't think there's any difference between settings or TWRP factory reset.

Yes. Personally I'd do this first. You could use titanium backup to backup apps because factory reset wipes the user apps and data. It's possible that your USB/charging problems are in this partition. Equally possible that it's in root partition or another partition which is where the nandroid or stock tar would be helpful since USB is dysfunctional.

Okay, right, thanks again. I will run another Titanium Backup before I do all this. Then I will flashify the recovery, then unroot with superuser, then do the factory reset in the settings (since I will not have TWRP anymore). I think that's the correct order. Then I can see after this if there is any change in the USB connection, and if not return to the Sprint store and keep my fingers crossed!

An additional question. I have downloaded the BOB7V3Final.zip file. I extracted it,
but I do not see a file named recovery.img. The only files named recovery are install-recovery.sh files,
several of them, and recovery-from-boot.p, and recovery.resource.dat EDIT: I believe that was the wrong file.
I am downloading a stock firmware from another site, and it does contain the recovery.img file.
Did This Work
Hopefully, someone will see this. I am having damn near the same exact issue, my phone has not been charging since a couple days after root. Unfortunately, I do not have a back-up of the stock OS. Seeking help to avoid being phoneless.

If you've never used TWRP before I suggest trying Google to get some basics. When I say "flashing" I'm talking about using the "Install" button in TWRP. You'll install the ROM first followed by the kernel. They should both be Zip files. If it was just Xposed though it might just fix the problem to find the correct Xposed uninstaller zip and flash that in TWRP.
Yep know that install is flashing. My thing is, is that I don't wanna lock up bootloader. I tried contacting person I got the phone from, because when I got it, wasn't showing the stuff that was listed. I made a backup on titanium pro, but can't get to it.. when I try to "install" on twpr the folder is there but says sdcard, that I wiped..the bootloader and unroot are my main concerns oh, and hard bricking..have internal storage folders...some in blue,most are grey....?

When you tap on install there's an option to select storage. You'll want the micro SD card. Unless you use Odin you won't be locking your bootloader and as long as TWRP is installed root is pretty easy. Just get your phone booting and then worry about the rest.

I agree with what shadeau said, first just get the rom to boot. Just flash the rom zip by itself and after it boots for the first time you can go back into recovery to add Xposed. A couple things that you may want to check on though, the kernel that's included in the rom is setup to let Magisk install properly which you'll need if you're using the version of Xposed that you have in the link you posted and I'm not sure if beast mode is. It may be easier to use wanam's original version which is here.

Thank you guys so much for coming to my rescue.. sorry for the long delay..my dad just passed..

In twrp, can I wipe everything in advance wipe (except sd card, of course) install install rom & kernel zips, reboot, install supersu, reboot, then I havent thought that far. Havent done anything yet, though, I have to install the moto cam and xposed framework.. and i was reading not to install xposed thru TWRP..then how do I get out of this mess??? wow, I feel pitiful rite now..

I'm sorry to hear about your dad, I hope you're doing ok. The process you mentioned is good as far as advanced wipe and install the rom, but I wouldn't flash the kernel at first, there's one built in and it's a good idea to make sure everything is OK first before flashing other stuff. But once you see all is good then you can go back into recovery to flash the kernel you want and you can flash Xposed in twrp just use the one I linked to in the previous post and make sure you wipe the dalvik cache and cache after you flash the Xposed zip.
just sent you a donation Kevin!!

Thank you for your donation, you are awesome!! I replied to the email address that was listed, but I'll also tell you now that it really means a lot to me and I couldn't be happier that you like the work I'm doing.
As far as restoring your apps I usually suggest that you should download them again from the play store. If you've already bought them they want make you pay for them again and honestly I just don't really trust the way that titanium backup restores apps, but if using the play store isn't an option it's ok to use TB to restore them and a lot of people do use it.
Finally Fixed the bootloop.

Your bootloader is not locked if you can boot to TWRP. Not having root is different from the bootloader being unlocked. You just need to flash the SuperSu zip.
