P970 can't install anything?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a P970 through the Koodo network. I used smartflash, rom converter 2.0, etc. to root the phone.
I booted my phone, superuser was installed. Everything works well, however, if I go to Google Play store to install any app, the phone freezes and I have to take the battery out to get it started again or the phone will just reboot as soon as it tries to install it. I tried downloading the apk and uploading it to the phone and installing it with superuser but it does the same thing.
I reinstalled everything twice now and it still does the same thing. I've read around the website but can't find any answer. Can anyone help please?

Try to flash another rom.

The phone came with V20j. There's a Telus rom that's V20i. It's ok to try that one?

I meen that you can try to flash a custom rom like zeus.

I can't download rom manager or anything like that without it rebooting.
I followed these instructions found on this site:
1. Get original Koodo firmware
2. Extract BIN/FLS with LGExtract.exe
3. Patch in CWM image with Linux DD (I used p970 rom converter 2.0 to do the extract and CWM image)
4. Flash with SmartFlashTool
The only apps that came with the superuser was anreboot and es file explorer
Can I just flash a rom like zeus with the rom conerter 2.0?

You have CWM,right? If not, try cwm flasher by redy in Development sector
When the phone is restarting at LG logo, press Volume Down to Recovery.
If u not have e/g-recovery, power off and try to press Power button and Volume down in the same time
And u can wipe all data or flash any custom rom

Already U know about CWM and injecting root
So, just download Gingerbread V20S Rooted .bin and .fls files from google
And flash with Smart Flash tool
Or else, U can try Zeus (excellent ROM) with (if u have to install Zeus, U should have some ROM installed with root and ROM manager)
If now ur phone has root option, just install ROM manager (download separately ROM manager and install)
Even if yours is not rooted, basic features of ROM manager will work for Reboot into Recovery, so that you can flash the zip file of Zeus ROM (try to install latest is 6.39n and its update file)
If unable to install just Factory Reset, even that is not working..
Try to open the settings of Play Google and clear all the cache or history u can find and restart the phone..
Try the Zeus ROM, amazing ROM and No. 1 now..
Press THANKS if I helped you

Hi there,
darrenp76, I too had just rooted my own LG P970 (my carrier is also Koodo). I used a different method to root my phone, but the result was a success.
I found myself in the same situation as you; every time I tried to download an app, the download would complete but then the phone would hang on when the installation portion began. The phone would power off, and boot back up.
I have solved this issue by doing the following:
1) Go to Settings
2) Go to Privacy
3) Select "Factor data reset"
4) Reset phone. I did NOT check off "Erase SD card"
My phone restarted, I saw the ClockWorkMod screen, then my phone continued to restart normally.
I was then prompted with LG's little tutorial, and I entered my gmail information when prompted.
I was then able to access the Market - which updated to the Play store. I was able to keep Superuser on my phone, but I lost the 2 applications that were automatically installed when I rooted my phone (one was a file browser and the other was some sort of restart.) I did not have these programs installed for very long because I reset my phone shortly after rooting, and so I wasn't able to familiarize myself with those 2 apps, and I don't remember the names of them.
Anyways, I really hope that this helps you. Having been through the situation myself, I was very worried, but the factory reset seems to have fixed this issue.

[Q] What to do?

This is a Samsung Galaxy Ace newbie user. I've previously owned a Galaxy Y and have successfully flashed many roms, bricked, unbricked, etc. many times.
Now I upgraded to a hand me down galaxy ace from my mom. I started trying out roms. I followed this tutorial:-
h t t p : / /w w w .android .gs /update - galaxy - ace - android-4-4-2-cm11 - firmware
{Remove the spaces. I'm new here so I can't add URLs. Forgive the cheating}
I used CWM 6.0.4.6
Now my phone works properly but I can't add a google account. Everytime I try It shows connection error whereas the internet works just fine when I use the browser. I am unable to fix it by flashing a gapps package.
The CWM recovery is unable to install the gapps package.
Somehow I installed root explorer using terminal emulator. I installed another google play but it also doesn't work. The problem continues.
The root explorer asked for downloading some extra utilities(optional) so I confirmed but it doesn't download. I thought about changing the ROM but the CWM doesn't install it.
I tried down-grading the CWM but the upgraded one doesn't do that. It aborts the installation.
I can't get the stock roms so I can flash using odin.
I don't know ANYTHING about programming. I'm 14. Please help

Hi Shikharmn.
From your current recovery, you could flash the Mardon's last Recovery CWM 6.0.4.7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49997664&postcount=143,
from that recovery you could flash 5.0.2.6 recovery and then custom roms.
Cheer. Good luck.

[Q] Can't Install KitKat on s3 mini HELP!

Here are two posts I posted on another site. If someone could help me out here, it would be greatly appreciated.
Post 1
I have a Galaxy s3 mini GT-I8190L and I tried rooting and installing Kitkat but I've been having some issues.
Here is what I did:
Downloaded Odin and Kies (for the phone drivers, Kies was closed while using Odin)
Downloaded CMW Recovery and a root.zip file
Flashed CMW and placed the root.zip on extSD card.
In Recovery mode, backed up system then installed the root file.
Downloaded Root Checker and it said I have root.
Then downloaded slim4.4_golden.nova.20140630.zip and a gapps file and placed them both on the extSD.
Using Recovery (Vol Up+Home+Power), wiped data and davika (whatever it's called) and then flashed slim4 file. But I got an error.
I then tried cm11.0_golden.nova.20140823.zip which went smoothly and then gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip but in middle it stopped with an error and said something about process 7 (I think).
Anyone know what I should do? Would it be better to go through Odin instead of Recovery (using Odin compatible files, of course)?​

Changed to TWRP2
Backed up all data then did a full format incl. chache and davlik.
Then installed th SlimKAT file and gApps.
(I did NOT format chache after install)
Rebooted pone and saw Galaxy sIII mini screen like normal then cam SlimKAT logo (replacing Samsung's) but it just remained on the flashing SlimKAT logo.
I removed the battery and restored the phone using TWRP Recovery.
I then downloaded Nova Fusion's CM11 for s3 mini and tried flashing it but I got a Failed message. This happened with a number of Nova's files, including the latest (cm11.0_goldem.nova.20140830.zip)
I tried downloading the Odin version but for some reason it keeps stopping in middle (and I don't have unlimited internet and can't keep downloading files).
Didn't think this should be so hard...
Any help would be appreciated!​
Please note, during part of this time I was unable to get into DOWNLOAD or RECOVERY modes. I ended up removing the battery and that helped, but for only one time. I had to remove the battery a number of times to get into these modes.
If you need more info, I will try to give it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

CWM doesnt support KitKat, you need TWRP or Philz touch.
or flash via odin

[Q] URGENT HELP - Motox 2014 US Cellular cant restore nandroids, TWRP folder empty

Hi
I have a Moto x 2nd gen USCC , that was on KK
so i unlocked bootloader
rooted it
and then installed latest TWRP recovery
as there are no flashable LP files as yet so i restored nandroid uploaded by a member at another forum, all was well by and large , apart from the issue that the contents of the TWRP folder were in accessible , no app even with root access was able to access it no matter what.
the only way i was able to add or remove files was through MTP while in recovery via PC , but it wasnt a biggie .
since last 2 days i was feeling a more than usual battery drain , so i restored the nandroid of my KK rom , but LOL as LP is far classy in looks and feel , i couldnt stay on KK and by the end of the day i restored my latest LP nandroid.
The issues
1.. the restored latest LP nandroid boots but it doesnt have many many apps , also google play services are gone so is stock camera , whats app and many other apps , wasnt able to get play store to start and there was no way i could access playstore by any means.
2.. then i tried to restore the LP nandroid the stock one which i had used in the beginning to go to LP , that nandroid only had BOOT and SYSTEM in it , it flashed fine but wouldnt boot past the USCC logo , no matter what ,
the only was it could boot was if over it i restored DATA from some other nandroid , but in that as well loads of apps were missing.
3.. then i tried to flash back to stock KK nandroid and also wiped my Internal storage just to get it all clean , and also wiped cache and dalvik and data
but i wasnt able to do that as well , as the phone was stuck on activation , i left it for 30 minutes , still it wasnt able to activate -- i need a way to get past the activation , with or without sim
kindly help me , plz enlighten me whats gone wrong which has led to the loss of so many imp data and not getting restored from my LP nandroids
would be so grateful
Thanks

Patched boot img , authentication error !!

Hello XDA community ,i owning an s7 edge ( SM-G935F)and i encountered a strange problem.
So recently i decided to return to stock rom , so i made a clean install of the latest firmware with odin , everything worked smooth and fine , and then i decided to try root it with magisk
thought odin with the patched boot.img method . (I did not want to use the recovery method)
So i did all the steps , i extracted the boot img , from the official firmware , placed inside the phone and patched it with magisk manager as .tar with only force encryption ticked , then i moved the patched boot img in my desktop and flashed it thought odin (AP) , flashing was passed and my phone rebooted , then here happens the problem , after the phone ask for my sim pin , a message appears saying something like authentication error , and that my system needs to be factory resetted ,and that i will lose all my date in the proccess ( forgive me for not including a screenshot , and not stating exactly what the message says , but i translated it as english is not the native language of the firmware) .
So i did flashed back the stock boot img, and the phone booted properly and without problems , then i tried again to make a patched boot img , but this time ticking both boxes ( dm variety2.0 ) ., then flashed in odin , and the same problem happened again . And then i reflashed back the stock boot img so i could use my phone till i find the problem.
If is needed i can replicate the issue and post screenshots but they wont be in english as the message appears in the roms native language.
Does anyone have a clue what might causing this ??? I have to mention that i do not want to use a custom recovery like twrp because that will need to wipe my data on phone(because of the stock encryption , i will have to reformat the data ext4 partition) , so twrp flashing method is not an option.
Any help will be gratefull !
Thanks in advance.

So i tried again , this time i left both boxes unticked in the magisk advanced settings and see if i get different results. Same think happened again ,phone locked right after the boot . I ve took a screenshot of the lock message
imgur.com/a/KXHr1Gk (make sure to add https:// before the link )

Noone got any clue ???

Still cannot resolve this issue , if anyone can share his opinion i will be gratefull
