[Q] Licence verification failing in bought apps? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have no idea how to fix this, I have even tried a factory reset but I'm not sure it helped at all.
At first, I had a problem with In App Purchases - it never loaded them (for example in WoT Blitz it told me that I have something disabled, also in other games, but I didn't do anything like that!)...I tried a factory reset because I couldn't find a way to fix it on the internet or in my settings of phone and Google Play. After factory reset, everything seemed to be fine for a day or so, I tried immediately if WoT Blitz shows me IAP's, and it did show them. I thought everything was fine, but yesterday I tried to download from Google Play Store some games I have bought and played already (Terraria and Rayman Jungle Run). They both are telling me "Licence Verification Failed". I don't know if this was happening already before the factory reset, but I don't think so. I have tried to google but most of what I have found were just telling me to download Lucky Patcher and patch it...but why is this happening and how can I stop it?
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini with Cyanogenmod Android 4.4.4 KitKat almost a year now, the Cyanogenmod version is newest and there should be no issues.

Sir,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.
Stand by
Good luck

[Q] Market disappeared after factory reset

I know there are a few topics about this issue but none of them is ever finished or completely answered so I HAD TO create a new one.
I bought a new phone and gave my Captivate for my mom, but to associate it with her google account I had to do a factory reset, the problem is that after the reset some apps were missing, like the gmail and the market, I got to install the gmail trough the sideload wonder machine but for some weird reason it won't work for the market, any suggestions? Thanks in advance
maybe this APK will help?

Otherwise, maybe do another factory reset and see if it reloads it.
good luck
may need to flash stock using odin if all else fails

[I9001] Unable to download apps from Play Store and unable to upgrade firmware

I am having two problems on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus GT-I9001.
The first one, of not being to able to download apps started day before yesterday. When I tried to update apps via Play Store, it would just be stuck at starting download, and the actual download won't start. The bar just kept moving like it does before download starts, but actual download does not start.
I searched for solution to this problem, and tried the steps on Google support... to clear cache and data for Google Framework Services, and Download Manager, and Google Play Store services. Tried that, nothing happened.
So, I decided to do a factory reset, in the hope that, that would solve the problem. And so I performed the factory reset, but the problem is same as before. Still cannot download apps from Play Store.
Yesterday, when I tried to download update for apps, it showed error 927 sometimes. Other times, it shows nothing, but just gets stuck at starting download.
However, I was able to download two apps, which makes it strange. I was able to download Street View for Maps, and Voice Search. But, the downloading for others didn't work.
I searched for solutions to the problem of error 927, and I tried different solutions I could find, but none have worked. I tried the extensive steps given on this thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33762494&postcount=8
I tried it several times, but so far this has not worked. It's making me a bit frustrated.
Second part of the problem is that, after the factory reset my phone is in the state that it first came. An upgrade to my phone firmware is there from Samsung. I have Samsung Kies installed on my system, and I have successfully done an upgrade to my phone earlier to the latest firmware being offered from Samsung.
So, I tried the upgrade via Samsung Kies. Strangely, it shows what version of firmware I have on my phone, but does not show the name of the version available, it's blank. However, it does inform that an upgrade is there.
So, I start the upgrade, and it performs an initial download, asks for UAC clearance twice, and then the firmware upgrade window comes up, where it starts to download the firmware upgrade files. Then, a Notice window comes up, with something written in Korean or Chinese, I don't know, with an OK button. When pressed OK, the firmware upgrade process closes, and then the phone disconnects from Kies, and is connected again, and then it again shows that a firmware upgrade is available.
I tried upgrading multiple times, same thing occurs. How am I supposed to understand the Notice in Korean/Chinese... that's stupid.
Also, the latest versions of Kies, starting from version 2.5.0 do not support GT-I9001. I had to download version 2.3.3 in order to use Kies to connect to my phone. Because the official upgrade is offered via Kies for I9001. Samsung is not offering update via OTA.
I am using Windows 8, and Samsung Kies works fine.
So, please help me with these two problems... downloading of apps problem, and performing upgrade of my phone.
I haven't rooted my phone.. it's just over a year old.. bought it in January last year. So, warranty is over.
I am also a newbie, and I haven't performed any rooting, or haven't yet gone into recovery mode, etc. So, if I have to do that, will need proper steps, and explanation .
Thanks.
Update via ODIN. Takes some time and patience but it works much better. See the the index in the GT-I9001 i've made a tutorial

Am getting crazy here.
I keep trying for the downloads once in a while. So, I tried downloading again, and this time, the downloads started normally. I updated 3 apps.. Gmail, Google Search, Maps. I also downloaded Flashlight app. After that, I tried to download more, but now again same problem is happening... stuck on starting download. Tried downloading different apps, same. I don't know what the heck is happening.
Any solution will be appreciated.
What might have caused this? After a factory reset, things should have worked fine, but why even after a factory reset, there are problems?
Which google play version do you use?
Thanks for the link.
The Google Play version on my phone which it installed automatically when I had performed factory reset is 3.10.14

If you have the newest one; V4.0.25 then go to settings > apps > manage apps (or on ICS/JB scrol to all) then search for google play and for Play services and wipe data/cache on both apps.
Well, I have version 3.10.14, and as said in my first post, I have already tried that multiple times, that is, clearing data and cache for the Google Play Store, Play Store Service, Google Services Framework, Download Manager.. but the problem is still there.
There are no updates shown for Google Play Store on my phone.
I have Gingerbread 2.3.6 on my phone.. XXKQD.
About performing upgrade with Odin, how do I know which stock firmware I should upgrade to.
Well, ive searched error 927 via Google ( ) and it means a server error on the developers side. Meaning the playstore/application has issues. Whichs cant be solved by us users

Well, I too had searched for this error yesterday, and as said in my first post, it is quite a common error, and I found some solutions, like the one you told, to clear data/cache, etc. But that does not work.
It does not necessarily mean that the problem is on developer's side, otherwise, it wouldn't have been solved with the different solutions.

Well, I have performed a factory reset, which is available in the phone under Privacy.
Is there any other form of factory reset? What's a complete factory reset? How is it different from the factory reset there in the phone?

Factory reset via recovery? Can also help..
And yes if you have the correct one then you can search for it on samsung updates or sammobile
Update on the issues - one issue solved
Seems like the problem is with Play Store, and that's why I was not able to download the apps. Now, the apps are downloading fine, without my doing anything. First, it was working randomly... but now, am able to download all apps. I now feel stupid to have performed the factory reset on the phone so soon.
Seems like Google are rolling out a new version of Play Store, and so I think that's the reason behind the downloading issues. But, its strange why it happened to me only. Anyone else with GT-I9001 experienced this issue?
About the second problem of not being able to upgrade the firmware via Samsung Kies.. I wrote to Samsung, since I have not got any helpful reply from here on the forum. They wrote back to me, giving me the address of Samsung Smart Cafe in the city, and telling me to go there. That's just stupid. For a problem with their software, why should I be the one going to the Smart Cafe. Obviously, they will charge me for their services there. I have written back to them, about this, that it's a problem with their software.. its showing non-English messages whereas the installation language was chosen to be English. Let's see what they reply... but I am not expecting any helpful reply. It will be just wishy-washy.
I may try upgrading the firmware via Odin, but I am thinking if it's worth it. The official firmware upgrade isn't so good, and has bugs.
I am thinking that if I have to upgrade via flashing, then why not root the phone, and install a custom ROM.
Can anyone please tell me about a stable and efficient good custom ROM for GT-I9001? ... or should I open a new thread to ask about it?
Am an absolute newbie with all this rooting, and flashing, and have no idea about the ROMs.

[Q] nexus 6 keeps disappearing from android device manager

Hi all. So here's the skinny:
I've got a Verizon nexus 6, unlocked boot loader and rooted running 5.1.
No other mod except for the net tethering provision.
I did a factory reset this morning because my device wasn't showing up on ADM. It shows up in Google play via the website, and I'm able to install apps to it from there.
I have gone through all the basic troubleshooting steps Googling could afford me. After the factory reset, it showed up in ADM. But when I checked again just now, it's gone again. That was one of the primary reasons I did the reset (which was a pain in the butt by the way because I had a pin-at-boot and even after telling the phone to do a factory reset twice, it didn't go away until telling it to in the boot loader menu).
I'm pretty frustrated now, because I went through a lot of hassle to fix it... And with no SD card, titanium backup is out the window too.
Does anybody have a solution or has someone else experienced this?

[Q]Help me with this particular N910T

Hey folks, first thread ever, I really need help with this troubled N910T, DOK2, Android 5.1.1
Whats wrong with this phone:
The contact app will stop everytime I open it, since contact app is combined into Phone app, so the Phone app will also stop everytime I click on it. However, the situation will be fixed if I change the locale to English. (The phone belongs to a Asian friend)
One of the instant message app, the Wechat, similar to Whatsapp Messager and Facebook Messager, will not receive any kind of notification, at all.
The phone's battery drop from 50% to 1% then turn off itself in minutes.
The last two problems may be unrelated issues to the first one, and that is not the main reason I'm really here. I have ODIN flashed the latest firmware over 10 times and all THREE of the problems still exist after all that.
And whats bothering me is that ODIN flash firmware WILL NOT FACTORY RESET this phone, that doesn't make any sense to me. Please let me know if I make a mistake about that, because every other phone or tablet I have worked on before will always be factory reset after flashing a OEM firmware.
I have also flahed TWRP and wiped everything from the System to the internal storage and reflash the firmware but the problem is still there.
sort of things have been done to the phone may have something to do with the problems:
installed the zips I got from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...pt-touchwiz-bloating-script-222-apps-t3258537
it debloated the phone.
the phone was lost in a rainy day, found again two days later. Remote lock and wipe preformed via Android Device Manager but the wipe process never go through.
Please let me know if the phone is worth saving at all, I have spent days in this phone fixing and researching for solution. I found no similar issue around here, and the phone is out of warranty.
Thank you and please let me know should I throw this thing away.
Battery needs to be replaced. Are you sure you flashed right firmware for 910t not 910t3?

Have you tried going into recovery and factory reset it yourself

Many times already.
If you haven't done so, you may want to do a clean install which means wiping system, data, dalvik and cache at least three times in custom recovery such as TWRP. Then you can try ODIN baseband, bootloader, rom and kernel (if rom doesn't contain one), custom recovery. Next you boot into customer recovery again and do a factory reset and that should do it. Let me know if that helps.

HELP! Note 8 stuck in "System Ui Has Stopped" problem!!

Hello. I REALY NEED HELP!! A couple of months ago when oreo got leaked for note 8 I installed it. I installed substratum themes before I did the update when I was still in 7.1.1 . When I installed the leaked oreo I had a problem that it wouldn't let me go past the lock screen unless I quick launched the camera and it said "system ui has stopped" and the phone kept vibrating. I couldn't turn off the phone.. only if I got lucky and then it would take me to a screen that said upload mode. no hard reset combo worked and only download mode combo worked. from there I would put cancel and it restarted the phone. somehow I got the phone to power off and immediately tried the hard reset combo and it worked. I factory reset it and everything went to normal. After that I never had the same issue again. But couple days ago I tried to install substratum to see if it would now work. WELL THAT WAS A HUGE MISTAKE. it was doing the same thing so I managed to factory reset it again. after that I didn't install substratum and everything would work fine until I woke up. when I woke up it kept doing the same thing so I wipped the cache and factory reset it again. Everything worked fine again and then the next morning IT DID THE SAME THING. I've factory reset it like 5 times now and don't have substratum installed at all and that doesn't work. it still says that "system ui has stoped" when I wake up in the mornings. I've been researching A LOT and I've tried to do everything the forums say but nothing works. HOW CAN I GET RID OF THIS SOFTWARE PROBLEM COPMLETLY?. (keep in mind i'm still on the beta software , I never got the official update). I even took it to a Samsung care center for a day and they told me that they couldn't fix it and I called Samsung and they said to ship it in to them so they could fix it. Have you guys been through this?

What varient are you?
I have the exact same issue, how is this not talked about anywhere? The leaked beta was so wide spread, I'm assuming you've tried taking it to ubreakifixit? I think that's what it's called.

I think flashing the original firmware is your best option considering you are still on the beta.
Just post the variant you have and the country you're in and I can give you instructions on how to get the right firmware
I would advise that you take your device to a Samsung Service Center and let them take a look at it. As they will be able to help you resolve your issue
