Since I got my N6, I've upgraded from 5.0 to 5.01 to 5.1 version D, to 5.1 version E. Each time I used the great Nexus Root Toolkit with no-wipe mode, and each time it worked just fine except for the upgrade from D to E. That seemed to work OK, but it broke my gmail sync and notifications, and somehow disconnected my phone from Google Play. I couldn't install any new apps from the play store.
I tried lots of different things, including deleting data and cache, deleting and reinstalling my google account, and so on, but nothing worked. I finally had to to a factory reset and reinstall everything. That seems to have corrected all the problems. I don't think this is a NRT issued, I think it was caused by not wiping when I upgraded each time.
Anyway, problem solved, and I wanted to share the experience in case it might help anybody else.

So, I did the one-click root, which worked fantastically, and I downloaded Titanium Backup, froze the V-cast stuff and a few bits of bloatware.
I'm not sure what happened, but my phone is no longer downloading successfully from the marketplace, and sync has failed every time i've tried it.
I've tried defrosting every program I froze, rebooting the phone, and doing a battery pull, but it still keeps telling me that the network is unavailable and that I should call tech support whenever I try to sync, and the marketplace is still not downloading apps.
Opera works fine, the market itself has no problems showing me every app that's available, but when I try to download, it just hangs without downloading anything at all.
Any suggestions?
Did you try flashing the leaked ota? Try to get yourself as close to stock prior should you decide to try it.
Hadn't heard about an OTA, and don't know how to flash it if there were one. Would doing this correct the problem?
Further investigation shows that data connection is working fine, and I can update using google account. The only problem left is the failure of Android Marketplace to download any apps, regardless of connection type.
Try going in to Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications, find Market and then clear cache and clear data. Force Stop it then exit back to the homescreen and launch the Market app again.
That was what the guy at Motorola support tried, except he had me do a battery pull instead of a force stop. No luck.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. Any other ideas?
Yeah...and this one will sound stupid.
Sign in or out of Google Talk. I had an issue on my Droid where everything I downloaded was "unsuccessful". Don't remember where I saw it but it was a google support posting that said to try that.
I was signed in...signed out and everything worked fine after that.
The leaked OTA is in the development section if you want to try it.
Also, I know it sucks to lose everything but have you tried a factory reset?
Tried the google talk solution, no luck.
Will try the OTA flash; all it will take to get me virtually back to stock is to unfreeze everything, since that's pretty much the only thing i've done since I rooted the phone. Is that all I need to do prior to trying, or do I need to unroot or something?
Haven't tried a factory reset, but wouldn't be that huge a loss as long as I back up my contacts and texts.
Hi All,
Running stock but rooted (with Xposed modules) 4.4.4 on Verizon Moto X with an unlocked bootloader. (Flashed this stock ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2829123 )
Any time I try to do any activity with voice I get the error, "Can't reach google at the moment."
I get this error if I click the mic in google now and by clicking the voice text mic on the keyboard. Also, Touchless Controls doesn't respond.
After searching around forums I've tried some suggestions that worked with similar problems on other phones, but to no avail. I've tried:
- clearing data and cache of google search app and force stopping (lost my google now launcher set up in the process)
- removing my google account from the phone, rebooting to recovery, clearing cache and dalvik, rebooting and adding my account back
Thanks for any suggestions.
hi, had the same issue with one of the modules in xposed, ended up wipping the device and started fresh, installed xposed and gravity box, no other modules, all is good now.

Hmm, interesting...
I'm thinking it's not a specific Xposed module... I just tried uninstalling xposed framework altogether and then wiping cache and dalvik for good measure. No luck.
But out of curiousity, these are the modules I have installed: GravityBox, Exchange Bypass For Xposed, SingalIconsAOSP, Unicon. Besides GravityBox, did you have any of these installed when you had the issue?
I hope this doesn't come down to just wiping, which it most likely will.
My droid maxx has had the same problem since the update to 4,4,4 I have tried everything including a fdr ( through twrp ). Nothing has worked ! Moto has offered me a new phone but I don't want a new one as mine is unlocked and rooted ( otherwise stock ). I think I'm going to unroot it, put back in the stock recovery and try a fdr through that...POS !!!
This may not help at all....but maybe worth a shot. If you try and it doesn't help, post back here and let everyone know so nobody else tries it.
You might have some luck by erasing baseband cache with fastboot:
fastboot erase modemst1
fastboot erase modemst2
You might have to re-activate afterwards. It is the only suggestion that might be relevant that you haven't tried already...
Good Luck....that would be a frustrating issue... :good:
Unfortunately I gave up and just wiped and did another clean flash and its working again. It was very frustrating not having touch less controls or voice to text...
Thanks for the help though anyway.

I agree touch less control wasn't something I cared about when I got the phone. But after getting used to it its hard to go without.
When you say you wiped and flashed. Can you elaborate. I tried fxzing ( saving data ), 2 FDR's everything .. Did you unroot then use HOM ? I will try anything at this point . Thanks in advance

My bootloader is unlocked so I was able to simply factory reset and reflash the stock 4.4.4 ROM from the thread I linked to in the OP...

I will try both methods and post back. Thanks for you help !
So I took both suggestions tried them 1st. I tried erasing the the baseband cache's via fastboot. No luck. 2nd I reflashed the current 4.4.4 stock rom via HOM, Full FXZ ( no data saved). !st off what a pain in the ass it is to reset up these phones from scratch. I setup my Google account but I didn't let Google reinstall all my previous apps and there data. I then went into settings and arranged things how I like them. Cleared off my home screens, put a few of the apps where I wanted them. I then went into the play store and allowed all apps ( preloaded ) to update. I then went back into settings and went to touchless control. To my surprise it worked ! I then went about loading all my apps.The usual 1's everyone has ie: Elixir2, FX filemanager,Poweramp, MX Player,Chromecast Panasonic tv remote 2, Google Wallet, UE Miniboom and Few other nondescript. Then I checked touchless control again and It was still working. Then I decided to install twrp and its recovery via fastboot ( 2.6.31 ) let it root the phone for me. Here's where it gets dicey.. It was late and I had had it with this friggin phone. I went and loaded all my apps that required root,Superuser pro, Dsploit, Busybox pro,Android terminal emulator, Wakelock(full) all the usual's. Then I went through and disabled all of the bloat. Rebooted and switched the phone to ART The following morning I went to show a friend how I had fixed my phone and It no longer worked ?
So I FXZ'd again not saving any data. Reinstalled twrp , rooted . Then 1 by 1 I reloaded every single app back into the phone and checked google now between every single install. Also this time I didn't let any of the bloatware update. I planned on disabling it anyways so why bother. I didn't install any apps that require root except twrp, busybox, Dsploit and #mirrorenabler . Also it's currently back on Dalvic. So as my phone sits now touchless control and all of its functions are working again. It's obviously a rouge app or ART Runtime that did this and I will narrow it down in the next few days and report back.
Is anyone having the same issue as me with one note? It crashes when I try and login every time. I am rooted and have adaway installed as well. Does this affect that app?
I am having this same issue. Just tried it on CleanRom 1.0.
I disabled Adaway and it didn't seem to do anything.
EDIT: This looks to be a bug in the new version. When I opened the new version on my old phone (android 4.4.3) it worked fine since it was already sync'd up. I uninstalled then reinstalled the app and it crashes whenever I try to login.
Hi, I was having this problem with OneNote and other apps with my Samsung s5 unrooted. I had disabled and unistalled the AT&T bloatware I was allowed to and had also encrypted the phone. I had so many issues on this unrooted phone, I finally had to do a factory reset. However, I suggest, trying to reinstall and enable this bloatware again and decrypt your phone first if these are options before a factory reset. These issues were present before and after the latest 298 MB update issued for that phone which is on 5.0. I am now able to use the latest version of OneNote. I did not disable/uninstall any AT&T bloatware this time. I just hid them. I will encrypt the contents of my phone again. I will see if this issues resurfaces AFTER I make a backup. Many of my other issues seem to be resolved to. For example, some of my settings were not changing. The only thing I use my SD card for is to store pictures and videos. However, a few bugs persists. Malware bytes keeps crashing even on a clean install. Hope that helps.

There's an update to OneNote available today, which lets me get a little farther but still crashes when trying to download my notebooks.

I don't think the bloatware is an issue at this point. The application opens, it just crashes when it tries to access information from the cloud.
EDIT: Just tried opening it a few times after doing an uninstall/reinstall and it finally works.. When all else fails, just keep retrying lol.

I had tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app too, but unfortunately it did not work for me . I am glad it worked for you as that is much easier ! I notice there is an update today. I am hesitant to install it because mine seems to be working now. Maybe their servers were down or something???
I have had this happen to me after a restore of the app. I've solved in by going in and clearing the cache/data for the app and relaunching.
I've done all of that and still no luck. Back to using Google keep for now
Finally got it working ! I tried logging in with another account and it froze up but I opened it back up and it loaded. Then I switched accounts back to the one I wanted to use and it worked! Weird
I have tried everything and nothing works, so I am coming to this expert forum for help!
So, in March I downloaded the TWRP 3.1.0 for my rooted OP 3T and installed it. When I updated my LineageOS version a couple of days later, it didn't install properly, an error came up... and something in Google broke. The TWRP 3.1.0 wasn't working properly, so I downgraded to 3.0.3 and went back some days in LineageOS, but the damage was done.
This is what happens now each time I restart the phone:
- Google Now resets (I need to re-sign up for it every time I start the phone)
- Google Play Store resets (I need to uncheck the autoupdate, the new icons for new apps, etc)
- Contacts and Calendar data resets and downloads again
- Phone calls disappear
- Google Now Launcher resets (bloody annoying, I have to use Nova Launcher because of this)
- For the first week, GMail was not starting, luckily I updated the GApps and it started working again
It's almost like some Google account data is being wiped every time I restart, which is extremely annoying.
I have since upgraded TWRP to 3.1.1 and all works smoothly with installs etc, but the above persist.
I have tried updating Google Play Services, GApps, Lineage OS, have tried wiping all the partitions (literally), I really don't know what else to do. Anyone with a clue?
Many thanks!!!
Just to follow up, it seems to have been fixed after I literally wiped ALL partitions, including all data (I had to sideload the OS and GApps!). Anyway, hope it helps anyone who had this same problem. Cheers!
Up until the recent system update Google Assistant worked perfectly, but now it only works when the phone is unlocked. I've tried clearing the cache, restarting the phone and turning every setting off and back on but it doesn't work. Is there any fix?
Have you tried hiding every Google Stuff including Assistant in Magisk, deleting the cache etc. of them, can you try and see if that changes anything?
It's working fine on my rooted phone, all google stuff is denied in magisk though.
Update: I tried to first delete cache and data for all the google apps and restarting my phone, and now it just says that Ok Google is "currently unavailable for this device" even though I obviously used it just an hour ago. My phone isn't rooted so I can't try magisk. Anything else I can do besides factory reset?
Damn you could try removing your Google Account and readding it to the device and restart, if that doesn't work i don't have any ideas left.
