I'm having a an issue with the XDA Free app. It either disappears or force closes after first execution. I keep installing (or reinstalling), and it works once, but when I re-execute it happens again. I'm using the great DynamicKat Rom. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes. Did the things suggested (wipes, etc.). I think he's as stumped as am I. Going to try a clean flash.
It force closes on me every once in a while with my S5 rooted, factory rom. I just deal with it as I dont really use it that much on my phone. I typically use my surface to browse sites like this.

I found out that the issue also occurs with stock rom (rooted).
I had a similar problem with another app. I finally fixed it by removing AdAway. Do you have an ad blocking app that may be causing this?

No. Actually, I was having difficulties with the SD card in the phone. I finally did a complete restore back to stock that fixed that issue. I'll see if it resolves this problem as well. Thanks for the reply.
Update: While it appears to have corrected my SD card and restore issues, the restore to stock did not resolve the problem with the XDA Free app. I installed, then rebooted, and the son-of-a-gun disappeared again. Will access through browser unless/until a corrected update is forthcoming.

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.

Anybody know how to get the old stock Android browser on here? Chrome really blows. I can't seem to find any method that's universal, and those steps that are out there seem to require root. Help!

Well I guess all you would need is the apk and side load it. I use dolphin chrome was great at first but little things bother me like the double tap zoom in sucks. And the last update made it run like ****. I like my bookmarks being synced but then again it really isn't that big of a deal.
Can someone get the apk up? Not having extended controls is horrible. Is there another browser that has edge swiping to control browser?

Make sure you set the permissions correctly. Once installed, clear data/cache on it before you run it.
Would this work with Adobe flash installation

What do you mean "set the permissions correctly"? I'm not modifying the permissions with anything, and it sets its own permissions upon installation.
I installed again and cleared data, brought up the signing into google screen then it crashes. Can't seem to get it to stay opened.
Works beautifully!

I've downloaded the above Browser.apk. I've tried installing it from the downloads folder. Fails. Tried pasting it into /data/app, can't install. Pasting into /system/app, can't install. Tried root app installer. It installs and initially loads with the "signing into gmail" popup. Then crashes and crashes every subsequent launch immediately.
I'm dying to get this browser on the phone. Pleeeeeaaaase, can I have some installation instructions?

Yep, confirmed via root checker. And I did wait for a minute after boot for it to register root as jcase said that it doesn't Register su for a few seconds or something, in case you were going to ask about that.

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.

What if i wanted to remove everything from the phone root/safestrap and go back to stock?
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.

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

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

Lag
After I performed the root my S5 is incredibly laggy. Like 10 seconds before the screen comes back on after a time out.
Adfree by bigtincan was my first stop back in rootland.
Also better battery stats to track whats eating my battery on occasion.
Later on after I get some rest I plan on debloating. Thats all there really is to root, its not that big of a deal but its nice.

Once you run sdfix you need to restart your phone for the fix to take place.
I have no reason to lie, and did a factory reset. Seemed to fix the issue.

Looks like you shifted from stock to CM and restored all the apps (moto stock apps included) and sensor services is now incompatible with your current ROM.

Have you done downgrade from 5.1 to 4.4.x lately?
It's usually caused by that and it does exactly what it says.
If you didn't downgrade, then maybe you've uninstalled some of the moto apps related, which might have upgraded the fw.
