[FIX] Unfortunately, Update Device has stopped.

http://d-h.st/tTn
Flash after the ROM giving you the error.
I'm assuming it only happens to Sprint users, so it also includes the fixed Sprint APN.
Enjoy.

Works great. Thanks.

I don't think a carrier would have anything to do with it at all since this is the Nexus 5, and carriers have absolutely nothing to do with any aspect of the device, both software and hardware.

It does have a lot to do with it actually.
Great fix, seriously a life saver I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure it out. The closest I got was to just delete the apk from the rom if possible before flash.
Thanks so much

Going to try this tonight. Been pulling out my hair trying to figure this out with some roms

Well, whatever it does it worked. I flashed this after installing the AICP 5.0 nightlies that were giving me update device crashes. They no longer occur... thanks

@Lethargy you make me lol in every thread, brighten my days. Hats off to you ??

At least for me, while this zip does make the error message go away, it's not actually installing a working replacement. If you use a file manager and go to /system/app/OmaDmClient and try to install the apk within, you will get the standard install confirmation, not the one for updating existing software (which it should do if the app was already correctly working). So while this is technically a "fix", it's the same as just deleting the buggy apk.

Thinking I skipped setting perms in a rush. Either way, it shouldn't be needed for too long. I flashed to 5.0.1 without needing anything besides the fixed APN. I do see an issue with prl/profile update however.

Yep

really need this file, can anyone please upload valid zip at legit host.
update: got it, not sure whether dev-host was backup or using different pc did the trick!

I'm having this same problem on my L720...
I assume this file wont work...
Is there a way to fix on my CM12 install without reflashing?

It should work, all it does is replace an apk and insert apns to /etc

Tried on my LG G2 LS980 with FreedomPop, but it didn't fix the Update Device error. Any clue for the failure?

This "fix" is crap. Don't flash random stuff to your device. No documentation? No source for the included APK?

[Q]Play Movies/TV with Root?

Hello All,
So, I have been away from Android for a bit (not my choice ), and it seems that I am unable to play movies and tv show from Google Play if I am rooted, or even using a permissive kernel. I just get the try again later, restart, blah blah error. Is this the norm nowadays? I googled/searched XDA and only found a thread about the HTC M8 where this was discussed (with no solution other than rootcloaker). I thought Google had had stopped that a while back?
Any informed input appreciated, as I like to use my own ROMs/kernels. I will logcat/dive deeper if no-one knows, and see how far that gets me...
Thanks!
Steve

I have never used Google Play for music or movies but I was wondering if you could still install apps or use gmail. Curious if its related to account. I'm sure it would be mentioned more often if it was a common problem , so very possible a setup issue!?

I am thinking along the same lines, as a search turned up basically nada, but I just wanted to rule out the obvious. Thanks!

Sure. You could always try a kernel or rom from the development section as a test and narrow it down. Wish I knew more of the inner workings, but still learning. hope you get it back on track. Its a very nice device.

Same problem on the S2. However, play books and music work great. Let us know if you discover anything, please?

Okay. Just restored this tab to stock. Google play movies worked fine. Then redid the root process and Google play movies don't work. Did some searching and apparently root breaks google play movies. Anyone?

I'm having the same issue... also couldn't get hulu to play anything. Twitch and Netflix work fine.. google play and hulu, no bueno. My Nexus 6p is rooted though and it plays hulu and google play movies just fine... so it's not necessarily root.. it's something with this tablet and root.

Suggested in the T917T Root thread: if you're running Xposed, give root cloaking a shot.

I think you're correct. I have a rooted LG G4 and play movies works fine on it. I'll see if I can get exposed and root cloak going.
Edit: no luck with root cloak.

Just an idea, no idea if it will work, but has anyone tried downloading a movie from google play movies while the device is rooted, and seeing if it plays? I'd do it myself, but my device currently isn't rooted, so could someone test that for me?

Yes. It seems to be this tablet, and perhaps Samsung generally...
I have been busy, but will root my tablet and try to figure it out.

You may be in luck. Try Chainfire's new v2.60 systemless root.
It may work as android pay also apparently works.

Do I have to be rooted already before I use the systemless root? Or will that root my device on its own? I'm a little bit confused on how to go about installing this.

System partition needs to be complete stock so no previous root.
Just install as you would any other supersu zip.
It will unpack and patch the boot.img on the fly and install systemless root.
Have a backup ready.

I was on stock firmware, installed TWRP (I did NOT use CF-autoroot before hand!) and then flashed the 2.60 beta, and it threw my device into a bootloop. Did I do something wrong?

It should work on 5.1.1. Are you sure you didn't have root before? The system needs to be clean. When supersu installed did it say systemless root?
If everything was as it should be then you need to make a bug report in the supersu thread to Chainfire.

Galaxy S6 Edge and Gear VR not working

Hi, maybe someone in here can help me. I just received a Gear vr and I can not get it to work. I am on a custom rom on the sprint network. Here is what happens:
I plug it in and it says to unplug it to install the software. It installs some software and I go to install let's say 'Oculus 360 photos' and at the end a message pops up saying 'unable to install oculus 360 photos'. I pull down the status bar and click on the failure and it says I have to update the software. I update it and it looks like I'd downloads something but never actually updates. That's where I am. Nothing installs, nothing works. Pretty frustrating...

I had the same problem. Went back to stock and it works great. Maybe today I'll root my phone and stay on stock to see if it's a kernel issue. If I do I'll update you.

You probably do not have the required Facebook apps on your ROM. You need at least com.facebook.system and com.facebook.appmanager.

I do have both of those on my phone. It's probably being rooted or the custom ROM.

Yes, please let me know. I think it has to do with the custom ROM or being rooted.

No problem with being rooted. Custom ROM 100% the case. You need a stock-based TW kernel and therefore stock TW rom with the VR update built-in

Thanks for the update. I think that's my problem. I don't think there is a rooted stock based kernel on Sprint.
Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk 2

It's not the kernel. Finally just installed the newest v9 kernel and rooted my phone. I suggest maybe starting with stock, install the vr software and run once then root. Soon I'll install the newest renegade full rom and see what that does.

It's not the rom either. I may be telling you to do more than you have to but maybe just go to stock, get vr apps then root and clean install full rom. Everything is great for me.

Hey, Did you guys solved it?? I have the same problem
I have a G928P, and I had rooted for unlocking it. Because of this problem, I unrooted the phone... Now I get the ****ing free hand activation message (at least it kept unlocked), but the problem is still there... Any idea???

I solved it. (More or less...)
Edit the file is downloading in the folder "Download" of your cell phone BEFORE it finish. For a reason that I DON´T understand, the software delete this file once it is completed, instead to install it. When you edit the name in the meantime is downloading, you impide it. Then, rename it back to .apk (if not it will keep as ".apk_downloading so you can´t install it), and install it manually.
It finally works.
Does anyone knows how could I impide the file gets deleted? I don´t mind if I have to install it manually, as long as I can. So far, when the app is not very big, I have to be VERY fast in the editing..., or I will not be able to do it.

Im curious, oculus vr worked flawlessly, unil i installed "package disabler pro" and removed "bloat".
I have read that facebook apps are required (rediculous... F*+-ing facebook bulls&*#@.)
Bit is anyone aware of what "bloat is required for functionality?

Hello,
I had the same kind of issue on my note 4: update & install of the essential apps were always failing (photos 360, videos, videos 360).
I managed to update by renaming the downloaded file before it got deleted, but I had to do the same operation for all apps then install them manually before I could access the Oculus store.
I wonder why installs fail like that. I rooted the phone with cf-auto-root to be able to use my PS3 controller wirelessly. Maybe it is becuse the kernel is slightly modified for root?
EDIT: Also it seems I will need to use the same method for all installation I do from the oculus store! I really want to fix this. I'll probably try unrooting...

Rooted, it will not work

If the phone is rooted, it will not work. No matter how you install the apps, it will never open oculus.
I had to unroot, and it worked again (installing apps manually, as I explained before). Once rooted again, I even tried to substitute the kernel for the original one. That allowed me to enter in Oculus, but the VR never worked. I had to unroot again.
Does anyone know how to impide it delete the apk file automatically? At least that would help.

Finally got into the process and sign into oculus app
Hi guys,
I finally succeeded in getting the download process working:
- log the samsung app output with logcat via adb
- click on install button of the Gear Vr configuration wizzard
- catch the called urls on logcat and copy/paste them on your browser to download the APKs
( for me : prePost_20160128024220687.apk
prePost_20160128024344077.apk
prePost_20160330073402086.apk
prePost_20160330073501789.apk
prePost_20160330073641987.apk
prePost_20160330073735750.apk)
- install them in the order the urls were called ( adb install -r prePost_20160128024344077.apk )
- on the device, stop the download using the cross
- click the install button again
The download should now be successful.

Netflix wont work on XT1925-6

im rooted, sure thats the problem. and i used magisk hide as well. also tried sideloading different netflix apks, still coming up with errors. seen a couple of threads elsewhere about changing "liboemcrypto.so" to something else, but that isnt even a file in my system, so no go. ive tried quite a few other apks for netflix.
any help at all will be appreciated
Edit: well apparently the april 8th 2017 version works, i sideloaded that and it works fine, has downloading so i guess thats a workaround if anyone else looks this up.

If you're using Magisk, or even if you just have your bootloader unlocked, Netflix will not download from the Play Store.

Galaxy note 9 netflix after root help

I'm new to this so I hope this is where this post goes apologise in advance. So I rooted my note 9 and everything works well apart from netflix intact I'm not getting the usual errors I installed netflix from apkmirror and updated to current version from the play store. I can login to netflix and scroll for the movies and series but when I click to play one it is just stuck on "loading" no error is given. I tried hiding root ect and found no help. Anyone any ideas?

thanks for the reply i tried the option in that link but no help. If i can make it clear for you so i rooted my phone and after rooting netflix is having problems playing anything. I do not get any error's like other people instead i can login and see everything but when i try to play something it just gets stuck on "loading" and never actually loads

for anyone having the same problems as me i found a fix. Go into Magisk and go to downloads and scroll to the bottom and download Liboemcrypto disabler and reboot phone

Another way is using a root explorer go to system/vendor/lib then find liboemcrypto.so and change it to .bak at the end and save. The magisk module probably does the same thing.

Don't those root privileges get lost after each power cycle?
