Can't create a Google account

First of all, it's not my phone, it's not rooted and owner is not an experienced android user so he won't root it..
Problem:
When opening Google play, it closes immediately.. Same thing on Gmail app..
YouTube app opens, but when trying to sign in, it closes sing screen..
When trying to create account via settings, I click on 'create new' account and when I choose 'google' option, it goes back to account settings..
What should I do to solve this?
Already tried deleting all data from apps that need a Google account, such as Gmail, play store, YouTube, etc

Wipe cache from recovery. If that do not help - do factory reset from recovery too. Other data and installed apps will be lost, ofcourse - so backup with Titanium Backup, some sms backup, contacts...

As I said in first post, no root.. So, no recovery, no titanium backup, no nothing..
But anyway, thanks for replying! =)

You can use recovery if you are not rooted. Volume Up + home + power.
SMS and contacts can be backed up without root too. So he only need to redownload apps from playstore.

I'm too used to Sony
Is it possible to make a backup of whole system with stock recovery?
If not, is there any app that make apps and data backups?

1. No
2. Titanium backup

TB requires root.. Any other?
Device is running Android 4.1 or 4.2 (I don't remember which one)

Just talk to your friend into rooting his device. For backup purposes. That is if he doesn't want to lose any apps/saved game data. Don't worry about pics/music as they are left untouched even if you reset the phone in recovery.
Sent from whatever the thing I use using whatever the app I have.

In order to backup your data / apps you need access to partition that stores said data - you need root to do it.
you can always do full unroot after whole story.
1. root
2. backup your stuff
3. factory reset as needed here
4. re-root if needed (forgot if it stays after factory reset - if not just go to next step)
5. restore backups
6. full unroot (option in supersu app - no need re-flash whole JB to unroot)

Talked to my friend about everything.. He said he has nothing important on his phone, so I can use MyBackup to save his apks, SMS and contacts..
In case I can't solve play store problem I'll be posting here again..
Thanks to all of you! =D

Problem solved! Thank you all!

Snapchat on rooted phones with xposed

(skip to steps)
As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework, at least upon logging in.
steps (modified and simplified)
a. uninstall xposed framework (ROOT DOES NOT MATTER, HAVING THE XPOSED APP ALSO DOES NOT MATTER, MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FRAMEWORK INSTALLED) before installing snapchat then do a fresh install of snapchat. Only disabling the xposed module=fail
b. log in into snapchat whithout having the xposed framework installed.
c. after logging in, install the framework back
voila, now you have all the xposed functions plus snapchat working just fine
Goodluck!

As you all know, snapchat does not work on rooted phones anymore... Wrong! It doesn't work on phones with xposed framework. I kept searching for a solution and all i found was rootcloack to hide root. It's good, but snapchat actually checks for xposedbridge.jar. I disabled the framework in xposed and snapchat worked without any mods and even with root. You can find rootcloack in xposedrepo.
steps
All in all, in order for snapchat to work (tested on lastest snapchat) you need to use rootcloack as follows:
1. install it and activate it under modules in xposed- then restart the phone
2.(i assume you have snapchat installed, if you do, clear data just in case) go to rootcloack,
3. under add/remove apps, click on 3 dots and "reset to default"
still in add/remove apps, add snapchat using +
4 under add/remove keywords and comands (do the same for both) add Xposedbridge.jar XposedBridge Snapprefs.apk Snapprefs (last 2 only if you have snapprefs module and you want to have no problems)
5. add the same commands to add/remove comands
done.

Another solution is to login before installing xposed and then you'll be all gravy. I just did this 10 min ago and can confirm it works.

Mine works just fine.

This method doesn't work for me.

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
BTW I used a Samsung tablet as a second device and s6 edge for first device

Wound up installing Snapchat on another device, doing a backup with Titanium Backup, and restoring the backup to my primary device. I could not get the Root Cloak method to work.

Rooting phone.
Hi I got a question. I have a LG G stylo and I really want to change my emojis to the IoS 9 emojis. I was wondering if I installed king root and emoni switcher will it stop me from getting on Snapchat since Snapchat blocks Snapchat rooted users. Please let me know and I'm kinda scared to do this because I don't want to be able to get on Snapchat anymore. Also, if I delete the root app, will it be officially unroofed?thank you.

easiest thing to do is, make a TB backup of snapchat of you logged in.. that way if you get logged out you can restore the app data from back up and you are logged in again.
If you get logged out and do not have a backup, you have to uninstall xposed, login to snapchat, make a TB backup, install xposed and boom you are good to go.. no need for rootcloak.

the best solution is to install xposed uninstaller in your custom recovery mode if you want to login to snapchat in a rooted and xposed device. you can install xposed framework after you log in.

Hey everyone.
I have a few problems with this... First when I try to uninstall xposed framework, my phone will not boot. I have a xperia z5 premium, running RomAur.
Second, when I try to do a backup with Titanium backup from another device, snapchat will not start and instantly crashes upon launch after being restored on my z5p.
Any pointers?

ps. the problem is not the root or the xposed app installed, its the xposedbridge.jar which changes the code in the framework, snapchat sees that and crashes the application upon logging in, then the popular "can't log in"

I'm using an android emulator called AmiDUOS, it runs android 5.1.1. Blue stacks doesn't work for me.
I actually got snapchat working on AmiDUOS one point, I was rooted so used an app to freeze supersu so it wouldn't be detected, allowing me to log in but I got logged out and this way isn't working for me anymore. I've used rootcloak to cloak snapchat and supersu but with no avail. Do you have any idea what is triggering snapchat to think I'm rooted? Maybe they don't like that I'm using an emulator? Can I hide this?
Thank you

I tried the method given here bu could no log into snapchat, i also tried uninstalling xposed and backing up data using titanium backup. Is there another way to log in?

No Luck. I uninstall the framework (but the installer app is still there, that a problem?), reboot, install Snapchat fresh, try to sign in and get the same "Oh no! Your login temporarily failed, so please try again later." message.
I'll try with titanbackup on my old phone later tonight to see if I can just copy it over like that.
Edit: I created a new Snapchat account with xposed framework uninstalled and it let me in. Seems like they are flagging accounts that try to login with xposed installed and/or root?

Simple method for root phone

Just to add my experience - I was unable to get the root cloak method to work. I already had xposed and snapchat installed, and removing xposed seems risky so I didn't want to go that route. No matter how I set up root cloak, ensuring to wipe snapchat's data in between, it still wouldn't let me log in.
I resorted to logging in on my old phone and backing up snapchat + its data with titanium backup. It works like a charm. Good thing I have old android phones laying around!

Snapchat not responsive even after using titanium backup.

I usually use snapchat version 9.39.5.0 which works with snapprefs version 2.1.0. The other day, it wasnt updating anything from the servers, like new stories, snaps and messages. And later found the solution was to install the latest version of snap from play store, use it for some while, back it up using titanium backup, clear its data, uninstall it..and then install the version of snapchat that work with snapreffs, and open titanium backup, and restore data only form the backup i made from their latest version. That worked very well...But after some months, the same problem persisted again.. I used the same method i used with titanium backup, but this time it isnt working anymore.Just when restore the data, it opens up well, but fails to refresh anything. Can anyone pls tell me any more solutions, or the actual cause? And when i rmove root and xposed, cant log into SC 9.39.5.0, gives an error "You're using a version of Snapchat or operating system that's no longer supported. Please upgrade your device's operating system and update to the newest app version to use Snapchat. Thanks"... But when i log in with another account, it logs inn well.

Samsung Smart Switch

Hi all,
Can Samsung Smart Switch restore/transfer 3rd party launchers like Nova? Can it restore all my apps data?
Thanks

No, but you can do the backup and restore with "Helium Backup", create a backup of Nova Launcher inside of Nova Launcher on a SD card and restore the backup on your Note 9

You can do a Nova backup to an SD card or to your Google Drive and restore to your new phone.

Doing a full phone backup and restore to new phone takes some work and time. As others stated above, for Nova backup your settings to your SD card, then put your SD card into your new phone.
For texts, calls and phone settings, Samsung smartswitch will do all of that. For apps AND their data you have to use Helium. Helium is slow and often takes many tries to get certain apps to fully migrate their data. I suggest backing up the app data from your old phone, then when you install the new apps on your new phone, just have Helium install the new apps fresh from the play store but let Helium add the DATA for those apps in as they install. That has worked the best for me at least. You can try to do full app and data backup via Helium, but that takes much longer to transfer the apps and data to your new phone.
I really, really wish Titanium didn't need root to do app/data backup and migration. Titanium works so much better/faster than Helium, but at least Helium works (most of the time).

Is Helium safe?
It will not mess with warranty, knox fuse, secure folders?

It's completely safe. Does not mess with any of those things. Warranty is safe. Helium is the only non-root app and data migration tool that works (to my knowledge).

I just tried Helium, it can't backup about 70% of my apps :'(

I need help to restore my GBWhatsApp Plus chats!
On Samsung Note 8 Android Pie, GBWhatsApp Plus 6.65 ([email protected]_hoak)
1. Did my phone backup va Samsung Smart Switch.
2 . Followed the steps to get the call recording function (https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/call-recording-android-9-t3846235/post78869864)
3. After my restore, when I tried to start GBWhatsApp and clicked the red button "Restore", loading bar appeared and app closes by itself.
4. Tried the following to reattempt s/n 3 but no avail:
a. Restarted my phone
b. Upgraded to GBWhatsApp Plus 6.70 (GBWAPlusv6.702.18.327_arm64v8a)
c. Restored GBWhatsApp application backup specifically from Samsung Switch
------------
P/S: I did not manually backup my chat in GBWhatsApp as I subconsciously treated that it was automatically backup-ed like the original WhatsApp / taken care of by Samsung Smart Switch.
Also, was trying to research on restoring GBWhatsApp chat backups and I stumbled on posts mentioning about GBWhatsApp folders on the file mangaer, however my phone shows WhatsApp folders instead, is this because I'm on the GBWhatsApp Plus version?
Is this all making any sense? Is there anything that I missed / else that I need to do successfully get my chats back?
Currently, I'm running GBWhatsApp 6.70 (from s/n 4b) in the meantime. Really want to get my previous chats back and later do a merge of previous and current chats.
Appreciate any kind help/advice on this! :crying:

1stly backup your whatsapp account to your Google Drive. Insert your GB SIM into your device and install whatsapp normally. There will be an option to restore from your back up,

This is the very reason why prefer Telegram over Whatsapp.

You're referring to backing up previously or currently? Since I'm on GBWhatsApp Plus, I don't see the option of auto-backup to Google Drive except manually clicking back up. What do you mean by GB SIM? Original WhatsApp? I'm confused

Restoring apps and file managers' permissions with Titanium Backup

Hey guys,
I finally have time to set up my Pixel 4 XL. I'm coming from a 2 XL (still on Pie) and backed up/restored my apps with Titanium Backup (which I've always done). Of course, both phones have a working root access.
Now I'm facing a huge problem on Android 10 on my 4 XL: no file manager works. They ask for storage permission at the bottom of the screen but it does nothing when I tap it. I checked in the settings and the permission is granted but the app won't scan my internal storage (it says access is denied).
I also have many apps that don't work and are asking to be reinstalled. Is this normal? What's going on here?? I'm already fed up with Android 10 tbh!
If anyone has had the same problems, please chime in!
Thanks.

I haven't had this problem and still use TiBu all the time. Normally I use Solid Explorer to create a single zip-file of my entire TiBu folder on the source phone. I use Root Explorer, too.
First of all, Google's backup has come a very long way and (IMO) it should always be allowed to completely finish restoring your phone. You didn't mention whether you used this option when you first fired up the P4XL, as the option only comes around one time. If you chose to setup from scratch (not using a very recent Google backup from your P2XL, opting instead to "shortcut" by using TiBu) this could be the issue. Wipe the phone, allow GB to do it's thing restoring not only your backup but also ALL of your Store apps. Everything. I even reboot and try to squeeze out a couple more updates from the Store. Then I extract my TiBu zip-file, re-creating the same TiBu folder I had on the source phone. Once the app has root and recognizes the backup folder, do a selective install for ONLY MISSING APPS (the first option). This way you don't inadvertently overwrite a system app, system settings or carry over something old from a previous OS version. At this time you may also want to de-select any old apps you haven't used or don't plan to use going forward, before you hit the restore button.
A pro-tip would be to backup your source phone launcher config in the cloud or offline before starting (I use Nova stored on GDrive). After GB and TiBu have restored everything, I use the Nova backup to restore all my shortcuts and widgets. This method is consistent and mostly error-free for me... YMMV. Best of luck and enjoy your new phone! :good:

Yeah, I didn't choose the Google backup when I first turned on the P4XL (I don't have a cloud backup, I turned it off on my 2XL because I don't have much space left on my GDrive). I do back up my Nova home screen on my GDrive though.
I did use the "missing apps" setting in TiBu, as I know restoring system apps between different versions of Android is a big no-no. Several apps would FC after doing that though. I ended up reinstalling these from the Play Store (luckily, they weren't any "critical" apps for me). I exported settings for the ones that had the option from my P2XL and imported these on the P4XL. It was a long process but, in the end, everything seems to work now!
Thanks for your step by step guide, it might come in handy at some point
