So this is odd.. Since yesterday a few things happened:
-If I search for apps I have in the play store, I cannot find them. Search results turn up VERY little results.
-If I search for 1 app specifically and click the app icon (so not searching by text field) it says the app is not compatible with my device.
-If I do the same with apps I already have, it says my device is not compatible with this version of the app (even though I have it!)
-My device is gone from the google play store website..
-If I go to my apps in the play store, about 15 of my 200 actually show up, the rest is gone.
I already cleared Google Services Framework yesterday, and after a night, still not fixed..
Now what?
I was planning on flashing a new rom today, will that auto fix it? Because I don't want to flash the new rom, if after that I cannot use the play store to find all the apps I have right now..
Which rom are you running at the moment?

Stock with built in root (also stock recovery). Had it for at least a year now without updating, but I felt it was time for kitkat.
Wow this sucks. I did this, the ultimate wipe and reboot 1 second after:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
And after rebooting, my play store keeps getting the same error "no connection". On wifi and 3g even though my internet browser works fine. So I guess that made it worse.. Going to try this now:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2273994
Didn't work, still no connection.
Now rebooting after deleting play store data.
Will the new rom flash solve this anyway? If so I'll just do that.

No I wanted to do that today but I won't if I can't install my apps after that.
I'm on 4.1.2 and my device name is still correct.
Not easy to predict and give a guarantee, but on the other hand: what to loose if you already have those problems?
I would give a try.
Not to forget the most important thing: If you update, you will get knox-enabled bootloader, so you could loose warranty by Samsung with rooting your device.

For that rom you need at least MJ5 bootloader as for all new KitKat roms.

Which comes with knox, correct?
But roms can come de-knoxed, right? And this one isn't.
I already have root so warranty is not that big of an issue.

Yes comes with knox but not enabled so there is no knox counter saying warranty void 0x1.
All custom roms come deknoxed, nothing to fear about knox.
BTW: Knox is in fact only an application to run on business devices of companies. No use and importance for private users.

Okay thanks.
I'm not planning on updating any time soon and I want 4.4 doesn't REALLY matter which rom.
Can you advise me which rom is most done atm? So I don't have to update in a month again?
Most roms are still in development and change their bases as soon as new firmware is available.
Many of them deal with new S5 features and also Note 3 goodies are inbuilt.
It is totally your choice - not mine - what you need and prefer :good:
Take a look around HERE

This thing happened to me. Except for me having no luck solving it. It was bootlooping all the time after turning on the cellular data, after landing back home from vacation on the airplane. Phone was stuck in a Samsung Galaxy A5 logo through customs and during the drive all the way home. I tried factory resetting it on the phone but no luck, it gave me errors in red lines and cannot wipe data or cache for that matter.
Since I've only bought phone for about 1.5 month ago, I contacted my carrier (freedom mobile) about this and they send it to get it checked, only to tell me I tampered with it through a root. Lol. I don't know what's going on, and from what I have seen, I don't think there is a root for this device (A520W) yet...
The phone is still in the cellphone repair company contracted by Samsung (called Futuretel) and have yet to get it back and deal with it.
If anyone has any insights, help let me know. I will update if anything interesting happens.

I live in Canada, and unfortunately if you root it, it voids the warranty and they will not do anything unless you pay for it.
I did NOT root my phone. I kept it stock and I am sure of it.
For my issue, the company wants to charge me for replacing the mainboard too. I think they don't believe me when I say that I did not root it. I'm glad to find someone who experience this similar problem, maybe it can gain some traction.
I am also waiting for Monday to hear back from them. And hopefully you get your new device

So this is the picture they sent me saying that I rooted my phone, even though I am sure I kept it stock.
Not sure why it's displaying custom, maybe something in the mainboard triggered that.
Also the knox didn't go off. The warranty void is at 0, shouldn't I qualify for the warranty?

Those engineers that sent that truly are idiots. They haven't even considered the fact that the issue was caused by corruption to the system partition which would not only quite possibly cause the bootloop, but it would also fail the hash check and trip the custom flag.
You haven't tripped Knox and therefore in my opinion have not voided the warranty. If they don't have faith in the knox flag then why are they so keen to deny warranty when it IS tripped.
Irrespective of the above have you actually just tried reflashing the stock firmware?
A modified system image, corrupt or otherwise will fail the hash check and fail dmverity causing the device not to boot.

I haven't tried yet. The phone is still with the phone company, I was afraid of reflashing stock due to possible messups that could void the warranty. I just felt that it would be wise to deal with it the idiot-proof and "official" way since I had the phone for such a short time.
I didn't think they would accuse me of rooting my phone and voiding my warranty. I'll try to call Samsung with the picture they sent and see how can they resolve it.
Worse thing is that the phone company (freedom mobile) wants to charge me $35 to get my phone back since they determined "tampering". Not a steep fine, but I'm trying not to pay it mostly out of principle, hopefully I can work this out. It's been a rocky ride with Samsung and Freedom Mobile's costumer service.
I've got a SM9600, purchased in US from BH Photo Video but it appears to be Spanish model and hence Samsung Pay wouldn't work.
Per some advice from random threads on internet, I factory reset it last night but that didn't change anything.
I now want to flash a US firmware but thought of checking with you guys first.
Two questions,
1. I noticed someone adviced not to flash a G960F/FD. Is it okay for G9600 to be flashed?
2. My biggest concern is of any side effect. Does flashing stock firmware change anything at all from stock behavior? I use the phone for work and the enrollment process is security sensitive. If there is any change in Knox status, device unlock status, rooting etc, I'll be out of work email access. It needs to be in stock condition
Also, if someone can guide me to the right firmware and guides, I'll appreciate it.
I have a us model if you wanna trade

I had the same issue and someone replied and said that the newest version of Google play services can detect unlocked bootloader. It works if you rollback to an older version but it may just be easier to wait until they update Magisk.

Ehm I have advice because I had this problem either. Just lock bootloader and it will work. But be carefull, if you have custom recovery than there is chance to brick device.
Still ongoing with no permanent solution yet. Its likely going to take an update to Magisk to fix.
All of the workarounds are temporary for a few days before things are detected again.

Just a heads up guys I've actually relocked and locked my bootloader multiple times maybe 4/5 times in the past month and never experienced no hard it soft bricks always went smoothly as long as you follow the instructions. Now I'm thinking of relocking again because Google pay is actually more important to me than root but if there's an update coming to fix Google pay them I'll wait.

yes your phone wont brick from re locking the problem comes down the line for an update or something like that i have unlocked and relocked bootloaders many times too but what happens when your phone soft bricks months later after an update and it can only get to fastboot and it cant be unlocked because the phone can read the state of the togggle in the os if unlocking is allowed rip phone

Bruh just when i thought i was finally getting the hang of understanding this pixel. My 6p was so much easier to work with lol. So basically what you saying is that it's best to keep bootloader unlocked to prevent any possible bricks later down the road?

Is this fix still working for you after April update? Root is more important to me than Google Pay but it's a convenience.
is this working for anyone else?
So a little while ago i tried to root my S9, it did not go well so i flashed stock firmware in Odin and everything started working fine again.
Yesterday my bank finally started supporting Google pay so i went to add my card but it said i was still rooted. After some searching i found out the my CTS Profile Match was failing because i unlocked the bootloader, is there anyway to relock the bootloader to pass safetynet?

your knox is already 0x1 samsung pay and some other features for example s health you can not access it anymore via the original apk and firmware if you don't have root..
google pay will work just fine after you gonna lock the bootloader.
and if you want to use gpay with custom rom you must delete google play services and install a version that starts from 14. something and hide magisk but it works just fine
