3 week old SGH-i957 play store crash. - Galaxy Tab 8.9 General

I have a 3 week old SGH-i957 and for some reason the Google Play Store started crashing on Saturday. I have attempted 3 factory data resets and it keeps happening. This is stock and I have done nothing to it yet. Is there a way to do a different type of reset?

No one has any suggestions?

Can always odin to stock.

But it's a secret, right? :silly:
Or is it 20 questions?
I'll go first: did it involve wiping Dalvik cache?

No, I meant I found the stock image, LOL. I still don't know what is the issue with the play store, I think the Image is corrupted.

Want to make sure I am doing it right. I have been reading this thread and I am assuming I use the firmware I downloaded from sammobile and use steps 3 to 7 in method 2 to re-flash?

i faced that problem before when i bought S2 new and marker ( as was ) crashed every time i tried to open it
i just install market.apk and replace and done every things id fine

Try somaare method first

[VIDEO] Idiots Guide to Unlocking & Rooting the Google Nexus 7 Tablet

I have done an Idiots Guide for other devices, and now its time for one on the Google Nexus 7 Tablet. I tried to make this guide as thorough as possible, including driver installation, so hopefully this will be as successful for you as it was for me. If you like this video, be sure to check out my other Nexus 7 and Android videos in my channel.
You do need to obtain Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit from here:

Today, after watching your video, tried to download your unlock programe for Nexus 7, however, after download began, I found I had downloaded tons rubbish, toolbars, shopping progs., and other unwanted rubbish.
It took me 20 minutes to find and remove all this junk, would be better if you put these files some where we can eaisly downlaod them, by the way, there is not the original prog., you mention .......... so I gave up.
thanks for the post.

Yes. My next video will demonstrate how to use an app to mount a usb drive. The app requires root, so this guide is necessary as a first step.

hey OP, i followed your video last night and after a few unplugs, task kills, etc. finally rooted my device.
i also followed your step to not flash CWM when rooting, but realize I might want to do that now. is it just as simple as plugging in the device again, then changing the option to CWM and clicking Root in wugs tool?
TIA.

That is a fantastic question. I will attempt to do this and get back to you with a response.
I have always rooted my phones after their warranty period has expired. I was waiting to do this with my N7 also but I see the toolkit had the option to return to stock and relock the device so I assume there is no warranty issue. Also rooting has come a long way and gotten much simpler than 1 to 2 years ago when I was rooting my G1, think will be rooting my N7 this weekend

Did you try to re-install them? If you upgrade the firmware, it's normal that files and settings were overwrite, not the apps, for that you need a Web upgrade or a factory reset...

i did factory reset. But no help. Anyways when i messed up build.prop and reset had to be done. From then this is happening. I think old game's some data or something is there which not letting install same name file with different signature. Do you know anything about it? And can you give your build.prop too?
please help
Please help. Problem didn't existed before. Kdz flash didn't help.
Looks like it is a system app. And normally if u delete those u can't reinstall them in the conventional way.
Best thing is. Do not uninstall system based apps. U even should get a warning when uninstalling them. Don't do it.

[Q] Will a hard reset brick my phone? [SOLVED]

I have a 4.1.2 android version of GT-N7100. I'm on an official rom. My phone is NOT rooted. Will a hard reset (by entering into a recovery mode, and factory reset) can brick my phone?
Is there any steps that i have to do before doing a hard reset?
I read a lot of threads and i get confused with myself about the SG-note being brickable.
EDIT: Okay nevermind. I will just patch a safe kernel and do a hard reset.
A factory reset will delete all user installed apps, and all settings will be returned to default.
Back up your internal sd card, phone and sms logs.

Since you are on JB it might be safe, but why risk it mate?
Flash Philz kernel and then perform all the wipes.

Mate performing hard reset on note 2 is all safe..the deal is u need to be on 4.1.2 since all roms based on 4.1.2 base are note 2 sds patched.
So u r safe.dont worry..I too reset my phone and its normal!

Don't listen to this guy. Seriously. JB has not been proven safe By anyone. Flash Philz first.
That's like saying I did heroin and didn't die so u are OK...
Don't do heroin, and don't trust a Samsung ROM on this device to be brickbug safe. I don't care if people claim JB is brick bug safe. I am on this forum every day and read EVERY n7000 post. It is NOT proven safe.

Not all phones get bricked when a full wipe is performed.
If you got lucky, and didn't bricked yours, you can't suppose it's safe and recommend it to everyone. That is just a plain stupid thing to do.
JB does have the emmc cap erase enabled, so it is NOT safe. Just look at the sources.

Here is the latest Gear Manager apk. Suggest uninstalling previous version (seems to be the case each update ) then you need to reset your Gear (this also sucks). I couldn't get restore to work so just had to start again. It kept root, busybox, and my modded camera, but lost my apps (store and sideloaded) photos. You can try uninstalling the seperate parts that the manager installs as that looks to be the main issue with update, but it just reinstalls them. The other issue I found is that you also need to remove your Gear apps so that you can reinstall them

Can't down load update

I have kingroot installed no custom rooms and software version 4.3. I have tried to update my software and it stops at about 25% every time. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks
You will have to do the Restore to MJ5 tutorial in the general section.
Root normally screws up the update.

Root doesn't screw up the update- Kingo does. I was in your exact shoes.
I did the MJ5 restore, rooted, did the OTA update and then did step 10 again for root. Works perfectly. Then I did Drakey's GPS Fix and now everything works great.

Perhaps anecdotal, but I went in circles with Kingo. Couldn't unroot, couldn't update. Its method of rooting is not the same as other 'conventional' ways.
After restoring and rooting via the MJ5 restore process, I updated to NB4 with no issues. I didn't need RootCloak or anything of the sort. There are others. I haven't read of others successfully updating w/Kingo root. I could be wrong.
I did remove the root using kingroot web site but the safestrap was still there. I could not up date the phone. So i reinstalled kingroot again and iam back to square one, a rooted phone but cant up date.

open safestrap uninstall recovery then go to your app manager and uninstall bootstrap then unroot
So here my problem like an idiot i tryed to unroot with out deleting any of the apps and programs (safeboot,titanium). So i had to to reroot and the safestrap is still there.

I have been buried in XDA threads for a few years trying to learn as much as I can (thanks for that by the way)
The title of this thread is Can't download update so I hope I am asking this in the right place.
Plus over time I have come to learn that jerrycoffman45 is damn good at this stuff...
First off when I go to the MEGA site (https://mega.co.nz/#!Hd1QnA7b!MV5i7du4oim9zKLArQl51tTYiymqIXMhaALsMjFHRyQ) to download the "Coming from JB" for KNOXRAID KITKAT ROM V5.1 it works normal until it gets to 99 percent.
I've tried it on all 4 of my computers with the same result = is there another way I can get it?
Secondly, after I install the AllianceROM (thank you RErick) and am setting it up, my phone starts playing the boot animation like it keeps restarting like every other minute or so.
I really want to use the AllianceROM and could not find anything related to this when searching the thread or the entire forum.
Any help would really be appreciated!!!
Try using Internet Explorer or Chrome to download from Mega. It is a picky site.
Try to do a factory reset in the stock recovery. I have had to do that a few times right after installing a ROM to get it to boot properly.

try downloading the mega app then downloaded it on your phone with that app now for alliance rom sounds like you might have a bad download if there is no md5 to check i try opening the zip on the computer usually if it is bad it will give a error if the download is good reread the op for the rom and make sure you are following the instructions to install the rom and this is not the right thread for this you should have started a new one if none of this works pm me
edit try what graydiggy said first
I was going to suggest the mega app, but since he seems to be having trouble with booting, it was pointless to mention.

I used to reed these threads and told myself that I would not waste the developers time with questions I could find the answer to my self...
That being said I did follow the instructions to the tee
I also tried creating a new fresh slot in safestrap and wiped it and flashed it a number of times following the examples given at different points of the threads
I have learned to follow the process that drakeymcmb has posted (wipe 3 times flash twice) on every install I do especially it its not working
I have 3 separate zip files downloaded to cover the corrupt file issue BUT I have not tried graydiggy's suggestion
If that does not work I will PM you if I figure out how to do that...
I try to give you as many thanks as I can and understand why people donate = you guys deserve it
Heck, I have paid good money for support as an IT manager and the techs were not as helpful as you guys are
One thing more, could you please direct me to the best thread to learn the proper protocols for XDA posting...
Thank you again

Thank you...
And hooray, I installed the MEGA app and the download died at 70 percent but I tried it again and it just completed
I'm in San Diego and the sun just set so I will have time to check it out
Oh, I'm downloading a fresh AllianceROM zip and will try your suggestion tomorrow
If you see some thanks coming from me from different places it is because of this
THANKS
Tom
