[Q] Problems with Play Store & Google Sync after 4.2 update. What's wrong?

Ever since my phone got the OTA update to JB 4.2, my phone has had an error communicating with the Play Store. When the phone first boots, I get an error message for each app that I've downloaded in my notifications screen.
Edit: Just discovered that this seems to be an issue with my Google account, in general. Calendar isn't syncing, and it says that "Sync will be back shortly" when I pull up my account on the phone. Weird?
Screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I also can't download any new apps from the Play Store itself. Screenshot:
Anyone else having the same problem?

I'm still on 4.1.2 however I have this message too. Do you by any chance have two google accounts linked with your phone?

Heres the fix:
Simply remove the Google account, reboot, and then re-enter your Google account. Takes a couple of minutes, but fixes the issue instantly.

I have the same issue.
Can I remove my Google accont since it's the only one I entered, considering my Nexus 7 isn't rooted?
If so, could you please tell me how to do?
I'm trying to avoid factory reset, but I fear I have to do it.

Hi,
Go to Settings > Accounts
Click on Google Account and select account by clicking on email address
Select Menu > Remove Account
Now, reboot the phone and enter Google account details on restart.
You should be good to go.
Click on thanks if I helped you!

Thanks DZYR, it was so easy
Anyway, I already entered a new account without deleting the previous one, setting it as back up. Now everything works fine.

Hi guys, I've tried this procedure 2 times but I still have the same issue.
Please consider I've a N7 with root, I've re-installed superSU (as per suggestion on a XDA thread), I normally use an external internet key for 3G data connection and the application PPP widget.
I've issue to surf on chrome but it is impossible to update application from play store, download mails both on gmail and mail app.
Thank you in advance for your help

Had this issue yesterday. I figured out, that my permission in the fs are messed up, so I repaired it. Also the permission for all Files and Folders on the virtual SD was messed up, I need to repair it manually as follows:
1st. I temp booted TWRP and attached my phone to an adb console.
2nd. At the adb shell:
cd /data/media
chown -R media_rw:media_rw .
find . -type d -exec chmod 770 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 660 {} \;
sync
reboot
After This, the Phone is operating as usual.
Hint: the path to virtual ad card (/data/media/) may vary..

Hi TrusterX,
what do you mean for ADB console? Is the nexus toolkit usable as well?

Yeah just temp boot into TWRP, than perform permission repair. When finished, bring up a console for manual input (menu 24), type adb-toolkit shell
Now you're attached to the Shell.
Oh, and wait, you have to install the adb drivers. I'm sure, you did it already.
Good luck!

as you can see, the path to my virtual sdcard is /data/media/0, it may differs on your device.
The ADB Server need some time after booting TWRP, so if the command "adb-toolkit shell" says "device not found" (or simmilar), just repeat it again..
Good Luck

i had this problem with ICS actually. clearing play store data/cache didn't work. you have to remove and reapply account as mentioned above.
but on the note of permiossions - how would the permissions become messed up in the 1st place?

Mounting ext4 formatted sdcard?

I upgraded from the Note 1 with cyanogenmod 11 to the Note 4 (910C) with stock android (rooted).
I want to use the ext4 formatted external sdcard, but Samsung does not added ext4 support for the extSdCard (WHY???????????). Anyway, I managed to mount it, but I am only able to use it as root.
I used this script for this:
REALMNT=/mnt/media_rw/extSdCard
mount -t ext4 -o rw,noatime /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 "$REALMNT"
sdcard "$REALMNT" /storage/extSdCard 1023 1023 &
This script does mount the card, but with the wrong permissions.
I also changed the permissions in system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, no luck.
Some permissions:
# ls -la /storage (notice 1015 instead of 1028)
....
drwxrwxr-x 13 0 1015 4096 Jan 29 02:52 extSdCard
# ls -la /mnt/media_rw
drwx------ 9 1023 1028 0 Jan 29 03:30 .
drwxrwxr-x 7 0 1000 0 Jan 29 03:30 ..
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveA
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveB
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveC
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveD
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveE
drwx------ 2 1023 1023 0 Jan 29 03:30 UsbDriveF
drwxrwxrwx 13 1023 1023 4096 Jan 29 02:52 extSdCard
Clues?
Thanks!

Could you please try to upload the screenshot somewhere else as it cant be viewed here or post the result between code tags

Working now ?

Thanks, that helps. And hopefully the debloated rom is still a fairly good representation of stock. I'll work with the OP and see if the fix for Potter also works with Cedric.

Rooting Samsung Galaxy Watch Active

Hey guys!
I'm searching around and I couldn't find a way to root SM-R500 Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (Tizen 4.0.0.3). I found a lot of firmware on different websites, but I couldn't find a rooted one. Any suggestions ...
Thanks

Depend what you expect...
Factory/Service Firmware called Combination Firmware is rooted...
I am using Combination Firmware as base... as Engineer sboot.bin (Bootloader) Engineer Kernel is inside...
From Stock Firmware only rootfs.img is modified... to have su Binary...
Problem...
SM-R500 nor other Galaxy variant tested...
Sugestion for you...
Flash Combination Firmware to see what kind of Root you can expect...
I could help you to modify Firmware Files... but OWN RISK...
Best Regards

I don’t mind to give it a try. Please share what you have?

Sorry.
I waste tooo much time with Tizen...
I have limited time... and energy...
The long way is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/gear-s3-android-wear-port-wip-t3584588
Somewhere inside this Thread are infos how to play with rootfs.img...
The "faster" way for you or both of us... is.
Flash Combination Firmware for SM-R500 to see if this is what you want...
Code:
COMBINATION-FT40_R500XXU1ASA5.tar.md5
COMBINATION-FT40_R500XXU1ASG1.tar.md5
These 2 FT40 seems leaked and available... maybe somewhere in public...
I am too lazy to search for you.
TRy hard enough and in 2 days you can pm me... if you not able to find it...
Maybe I will upload for you...
But again.
What kind of magic you expect from Rooting of your SM-R500?
So I can make decission to help you... or maybe waste my time with other things.
Best Regards

Code:
COMBINATION-FT40_R500XXU1[B]ASA5[/B].tar.md5
ASA5 I have on my HDD... I could upload...

Uupsi.. I have both FT40...
Still no idea if somewhere public Link available...

You "need" netOdin Tool for Flashing Firmware...
I will upload for you:
Code:
COMBINATION-FT40_R500XXU1ASA5.tar.md5
Need some time for upload...
Plese remember:

Sorry.
I waste tooo much time with Tizen...
I have limited time... and energy...
The long way is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch/gear-s3/gear-s3-android-wear-port-wip-t3584588
Somewhere inside this Thread are infos how to play with rootfs.img...
The "faster" way for you or both of us... is.
Flash Combination Firmware for SM-R500 to see if this is what you want...

Sorry for the late reply and thank you adfree for your effort, but I already have and tested the combination firmware and It is not what I'm looking for! Now I'm trying to figure the pinout so I can connect it directly.

Done first attempt with DSL1 Firmware...
Waiting for feedback...
Meanwhile...
A
To enable Root access... SDB Tool required...
Code:
sdb root on
A.1
To enable su from Shell...
Additional steps required...
Code:
sdb root on
sdb shell
mount -vo remount,rw /
chmod -v +sx /usr/bin
Code:
sdb root off
Then you can su from shell...
Code:
su
then it asks for password... password is:
Code:
tizen
B
To check if you can now play with rootfs.img "on the fly"...
Code:
sdb root on
Or you have enbled the other way...
Code:
sdb shell
Code:
mount -vo remount,rw /
Now you can for instance delete poweron poweroff Animation... you can do more but this is safe... nothing will explode.
Code:
sdb root on
Switched to 'root' account mode
sdb shell

rootfs to dump is not really usefull... remember free space...
usr is written to usr partition... so never possible to dump in 1 step...
rpmb read protected,,, found no way on Wearables...
To pull all files from Media folder...
Code:
sdb pull /opt/usr/media/
Or pull file by file with filename... example:
Code:
sdb pull /opt/usr/media/[B]csa.bin[/B]

Code:

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
Creates corrupt/unfinished archive file... but have 2200 MB inside... few more as uncompressed...
Better we split... and find other way for user partition...

Maybe found something...
Code:
sdb shell dd if=/dev/mmcblk0boot1>testme11.bin
sdb shell dd if=/dev/mmcblk0boot0>testme11more.bin
sdb shell dd if=/dev/mmcblk0rpmb>testme11moreAA.bin
Now need more time for next attempt...
Code:
sdb shell dd if=/dev/mmcblk0>FULLeMMCoverSDB_WiFi.bin
4 GB !
IMHO 1 - 2 hours...

Rooted SM-R500 DSL1 Firmware is here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81762345&postcount=838
If Questions... better ask BEFORE...
Best Regards

Hmmm... I don't know why...
But if I direct dump to PC... then additional crap is written...
2 Bytes...
Code:
0D0D
I have Tizen handset... SM-Z130H... with Tizen 2.4...
Here this work as it seems, tested with Command:
Code:
sdb shell dd if=/dev/mmcblk0boot1>Z1_boot1.bin
This partition is ever empty... contains only 00... so IMHO good reference...
But my Z1 is connected via USB cable...
No idea if 0D0D cames because some TCP problem...
Best Regards

With SM-R760 we have luck...
Combination Firmware not mandatory for Tizen 4 Root...
Only RAMDISK taken from Combination Firmware...
Maybe this is also working for SM-R500... need to be tested.
Attached is ramdisk.img from FT40 ASL2 for SM-R500...
Best Regards

Hey guys!
I'm searching around and I couldn't find a way to root SM-R500 Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (Tizen 4.0.0.3). I found a lot of firmware on different websites, but I couldn't find a rooted one. Any suggestions ...
Thanks

Hey there! Could you finally root the SM-R500? Is it still alive? Have the same model here... I used to root all Samsung I had but this is my very first watch so I do not want to mess it yet without anyone proofs

I have only rooted DSL1 for SM-R500...
Best Regards

Hi adfree, It seems DSL1, lastest Samsung update.. I have read about combination firmwares etc.. but not tired anything without being sure cause is the most expensive watch i ever bought..
The most combinations firms seems for others than R500, I don't know either about knox on watch if will be tripped too and will left samsung pay useless or it works different than phones..
Yesterday I downloaded all tizen SDK tools etc... and sideloaded tpk apps to watch, they install but could not run them propperly.. but I guess all this is about to test yet as it is a "new watch" ...sorry my ignorance but I come from a LG watch from 2015 omg I had to update myself... xD
Thank you and have a nice day !

@Albayeah
Sorry.
In main I am talking with my self... about Rooting...
No idea why user not confirm in public...
I know he used the old method with Combination Firmware first... then my rooted rootfs,img...
The new way... is to flash only RAMDISK from Combination Firmware, then my rooted files.
So Round 1:
with netOdin
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81799723&postcount=15
Round 2.
with netOdin
IGNORE the Combination Firmware files
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81762345&postcount=838
Only this:
https://www.file-upload.net/download-13891175/2020_DSL1_smR500_ROOT_v1.7z.html
Own Risk!
But I am 99,9 % sure this is working. :angel:

Many thanks! I am going to save your files by the moment because I am still afraid of messing something definetly on the watch with no reverse..
Maybe I have to do more research..
I hope I dont bother you with my questions but if you already rooted.. could you use samsung apps as usual..? Like samsung health, samsung pay.. won't prompt a security message or disable any functions, any apps..?
Sorry cause i am kinda confused with that details..
On phone I use Samsung apps hiding with magisk etc... cause it is rooted but it is Android, but what about watch with tizen and no magisk..? Will disable the apps just like in the phone, or is it knox unrecoverable? :silly:
Sorry for my inexperience maybe all this sounded silly to you XDD
Best wishes to all on these hard times :good:
