System Update: no longer able to open games or play media - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Hi all,
Unfortunately my first post is to beg for help before I launch my phone out the window.
I have a UK o2 htc one x and the was a recent system update, since I applied that (which took forever) i have been unable to open any games or play any media without my phone crashing and completely restarting.
I have tried deleting all the caches, factory reset etc... still no joy.
I was going to roll it back and try reapplying the update so downloaded the relevant RUU and tried to apply it, unfortunately i am running into the CID error which some more googling etc said that to do what i wanted required a gold card, everything i have read says i need to use an SD card to do this, problem being the one X doesnt have one.
I am really a bit stuck as to what i can do/try at present that will make my phone work again.
If one of you has any brilliant ideas or you need more information I will gladly try anything right now
Thanks

Welcome to XDA. I believe you have posted in the wrong forum, as this one is for the LTE version. Good luck with your issue.

sorry, my mistake
I'll leave it open and a mod can move it? Rather than start a new thread

[Q] Android market issue

hi everyone,
I installed tiamat 2.2.1 some days ago & I'm happy with everything.
on the first boot everything was going good & I successfully restored all my apps from my backup with my account.
after that whenever I try to download or update anything from market it doesn't work & it keeps me waiting in the first step "starting download".
I tried everything anyone could ever imagine to get it work, but still nothing.
can anyone help me with fixing the problem?
I really appreciate if someone can help me with it

I hate this and have the same problem, it works eventually if I keep trying, but it is very annoying.

What version of market do you have? The newest version seems to work much better.

good to ask
I tried both 3.1.6 & the older version, to try to download, but at all the time & conditions I'm getting the same reaction.
I'm guessing something else from the kernel is causing it, but since I'm not a pro in it, I can't say anything.
(the only time I can download without any issue is the first boot after a factory reset)
P.S I've been in touch with android market team for one week everyday. & still no one knows what exactly is causing it. so I though I post the issue in here, maybe we can find the problem that is causing this issue.
I tried the new market, hated it and reverted back...I can eventually get my downloads to work but only by repeatedly attempting to download them
if you face this problem and it keeps saying starting download and stuck there just hit my apps and scroll all the way down you will find that app waiting there at the end, just touch it and hit install and it will display the accept or cancel window just accept and it will star right away, i know it really annoys me too
I don't think this is at all related to Tiamat. I have a stock Evo that has the same issue. Just yesterday I had 4 or 5 apps stuck in the "downloading" state. I had good signal strength on 4G the entire time and verified that I could surf, but still they sat there. I went through and cancelled each download and then hit each app separately to update and they all worked.
I see
so if the problem is not only for xoom, then maybe we can say market team couldn't do its best.
does anyone know any solution than keep trying to download?? cause right now even that, doesn't work for me anymore...
ow & also, do you guys know if we can open a thread somewhere officially, so market team can find out the source of problem?

[MF9][iNTriNsiC] Starting apps on every boot

Hello, I have a problem with the Samsung Galaxy S4 for Sprint.
I just flashed the ROM "iNTriNsiC" but I keep getting a message on every boot about "upgrading apps, starting apps".
I read on the thread that it was a problem caused when you're not on MF9, but I am fully on MF9 and it still showing that. My software version say L720VPUAMF9 and the baseband says L720VPUAMF9 but I still get the message. I would post on the thread itself but I need 10 posts -,-
I also read around and saw it might be caused by titanium backup, but I don't have titanium backup installed. I also deleted any titanium backup folders I had on my SD or phone from when I installed it one time, and also from data.
But the problem still persist. If anyone knows how to solve this I would appreciate it.
EDIT - I have reached 10 posts by borderline spamming and posted in the ROM's thread, but if you have any tips im still open for suggestions. Otherwise, hopefully the ROM owner will be able to solve this.

Stuck on lockscreen - androidui has stopped

Moto G 16GB, bought off Amazon.co.uk. Rooted and flashed 4.4.2 before it was pushed to the device (I think it was an image off US version, found it in these forums back when I got the phone). I've been getting a prompt to install some Motorola US update for a few weeks, it pops up every now and then, has gone away when I tapped "No, thanks" option. All was fine until this morning...this is a really weird problem.
I don't know if the phone updated itself overnight, but when I dismissed the alarm this morning I couldn't get past the lockscreen. I put in my lock code and the phone had the stock wallpaper, then cycled to black background, then back to stock wallpaper and then I got a pop up saying "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped." and I was bumped back to the PIN lockscreen. Tried again, same thing. Now it doesn't even say anything about androidui, just cycles between black background and stock wallpaper and kicks me out.
Tried hooking it up to a PC and Mac, but neither recognized it and the phone appeared to be just charging. Power cycled it a dozen times by holding down the power button for about 6 seconds and I always end up with the same problem of not getting past the lockscreen. Every time I boot the phone now it says "Android is upgrading... Optimizing app 1 of 1". This is why I thought maybe I was pushed some incompatible US update?
Underneath it all the phone works fine, got the alarm this morning, received an SMS, answered a phone call. I can even get to the camera from the lockscreen. Is there any other options besides complete wipe and starting from the beginning again?
Probably OT, but I've always had trouble with the launcher quitting, no matter what launcher I'm using, on Moto G and the previous GNex.
Any help is appreciated, I'm bummed.
Hi,
i've today the same, exactly the same problem. It's strange, because i can't reset my phone to factory default, i went to the recovery menu, then "factory", but it only rebooted...
My "solution":
I reinstalled the original firmware:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
Then all works fine.. No matter why this error occurs.. an automatic firmware update? ..i don't know...
the exact same thing happened to me today out of nowhere and i'm about to leave on a trip, i'm so angry!
Jeez...well, looks like I'm not the only one. WTF happened? I left on a weekend trip too and I'm P.O.'d. I haven't been too religious with my backups either, that's why I was trying to find a way to back things up before wiping it all, but it looks like I'm out of luck. Guess a full wipe is in order.
hmmm i'm a complete dufus when it requires ADB, i've followed the procedures at the link but everytime i try to enter an input cmd says "mfastboot is not a recognized command"

Take a look:
c) If the firmware file you downloaded is a .xml.zip file then download Motorola Fastboot mfastboot-v2.zip (attached to this post) and extract the .exe into the same folder as the stock firmware files (the same folder as the .bin and .img files). If your firmware is a .tar.gz file then skip this step.
I'm debating if I should go ahead and restore the firmware OR wait for Motorola to right their wrongs!

I... did that, but obviously not the correct way, i'm downloading the files on my note and will try again. Maybe I should unpack the firmware files at some specific place? The instructions said nothing about this so I did nothing.

Just reminded me that my phone is still within warranty, doing this restore may void it?

Guess this is the only way out of this, then. What a mystery... I wonder if this is the "Welcome to Lenovo" update 1.0 lol.
i'm getting a "missing AdbWinApi.dll" although i've installed all the applications required, any help?
edit: guess i also need the android sdk, right?
edit2: got it, just copy the dlls from the minimal adb directory into the firmware directory and it's good to go, just configuring my newly restored device, thanks all
I wonder why this happened? I was using google play store at the moment, updating the flipboard app...

I guess It's the problem of flipboard app!
My father's phone is also experiencing this issue, I can't even reset the phone to factory settings.
This occurred when I was also updating the flipboard app... seriously I'll have to RMA this...
----------------------
So I also have an issue where when you unlock the screen, it just locks back up (no android dialogue saying that com.android.systemui has crashed, but the same result).
I'm also unable to go into bootloader -> Recovery to factory reset the phone.
I stupidly tried to uninstall the flipboard app and reinstall it and it killed the phone... it's now stuck and quite annoying.
I'm 99% sure it's Flipboard.
Looks like others are having issues with Flipboard too

I solved the issue by following the instructions here:

how could a flipboard update screw android so badly? what a strange day
edit: they seemed to have pulled the update back or fixed it though, during my restore flipboard installed without issues
Holy S*** I'm in the same situation. It's definitely the Flipboard update that caused everything. Support just acknowledged me but never gave me any solution. I'm running ART and I think that was contributing the problem. It's terrifying knowing how a single app can completely ruin your phone!!
Anyway guys, is there anyway I can save my pics and stuff before I wipe my data?
Good detective work, I now remember updating the Flipboard app w/ bunch of others as well when things were still all good. Could this be remedied if Flipboard would manage to push a working update? I really don't wanna wipe everything, and I'm not sure I can.
Word from Flipboard (via Twitter):
"Flipboard does not support the experimental OS ART at this time."

[Completed] [Q] One M8: Problems after wiping internal storage

I wiped my Internal Storage through TWRP because my laptop can't detect my One M8 and I thought wiping the internal storage would fix the problem. I have tried wiping Dalvik Cache, Data and Cache and none of it helps thus without reason I wiped the internal storage.
When I reboot, my lock screen doesn't show up so does my status bar (cant even slide down to show notification), and also my on screen buttons. I tried to re-flash the ROM, idk what else I should re-flash but it didn't solve the problem. And still my laptop cannot detect my One M8. Also there is no TWRP backup to restore my phone back to Sense 6 ROM. (maybe the wipe deleted the backup, idk, it was there before).
Someone help me, I don't think any mobile shops in my country can fix this problem. There is no one to help me here. I can't even sell the phone because no one would want to buy an already damaged phone. SO please I beg for your help. Anyone I would be grateful for your reply. Should you require any information to solve this problem I would do my best to provide you with it. Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Need to know which M8 carrier version you have to point you towards help.
Also, try reinstalling HTC sync on your PC to restore drivers. If your computer won't see your device, you are not going to have much luck.

I will try that. How can I fix the lock screen, status bar and the onscreen navigation buttons not showing up? also google now launcher background is all black even when i change the wallpaper. A few days ago after I wiped the internal storage a "system.android has stopped" showed up which caused these problems. I did a reflash of the ROM and still the problem exists.
You need to tell me your carrier version, so I can point you towards help.

[Q] Phone rebooting while installing (or updating) apps

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7270).
It's been working fine for a while, but recently, it developed a strange and very annoying habit of rebooting when I'm installing or updating apps. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but the frequency is alarming.
Some apps never succeed in installing, no matter how many times I try (facebook, Clean Master...).
Other apps needed a few retries after each reboot to finally install them (messenger, viber...).
Some apps install or update without problems at times.
If the phone reboots when updating a new app, the app disappears afterwards, and re-installing it might not work on the first try.
I do all my app business via the official "Play Store" app. The app always finishes downloading, then begins installation, after which the screen turns black and the Samsung logo appears, declaring a reboot.
I tried resetting my mobile to factory settings; twice. But the problem persisted.
I just can't figure out the reason. I tried removing the battery, removing the SD card, switching between wifi and data internet, but the phone kept rebooting.
Anybody got a clue why this is happening, and if there's anything I can do about it???
Thanks a lot.

I posted on many forums and tried so many things, to no avail.
There's one last thing I plan on doing, and it's flashing my mobile back to Original Stock firmware.
I thing it got corrupted somehow, and kies is not working on my mobile, saying it was modified.
But the problem is, my internet is retarded and I can't finish downloading the firmware, not matter how many times I try, especially that the site is really annoying!
rapidgator.net/file/6c96e8ba6e813a9aeb47cfd9e3b66fda
That's the link to the file I want to download, if you have better internet, can you please download it, and then upload it to a more suitable cloud service (dropbox, google drive, onedrive...) and then sharing the link with me so I can download it and try this method for the both of us?????
Thanks a lot!
