[Q] JellyBean ROMs Not Working.....Need Help! - General Questions and Answers

Let me first start off by saying that I have been flashing ROM's since the D1 days but haven't posted enough in the past to ask for help in the specific developer forums. I have tried to find answers but can't seem to get any resolution.
Since Thursday, I have been attempting to flash JB on my Verizon Nexus. All of the ROM's I have flashed work, except for one key feature, Google Now. It doesn't matter if I flash Vicious 2/3, JellyBelly, or Vanir, the results are the same.
When I try activating Google Now, an error message will state that "Google Search has stopped". The only way for me to get Google Search to work from this point forward is to either Wipe in Boot or kill the data and force stop Google Search in the Settings Menu.
The first thing I tried was revert back to ICS and then go back to JB.
Next I tried to go into Boot, FR about 4 times, clear the Cache about 4 times, wipe the Davlik, flash Superwipe, and then reflash JB and Gapps.
Next I went as far as creating another Google account from scratch to see if it was a settings issue.
Finally, I made the decision to unroot and relock my device, and then unlock and root.
None of these things fixed the Google Now issue.
If anyone has any direction I would really appreaciate it. Google Now is the only thing that won't seem to work at all.

I have this issue too.

This post is pointless and spam, if you want answers describe your problem exactly cause he may have something different, and it is 2 months old. But try reflashing gapps for your device, or a wipe. It usually works for me on my phone.

problem with google wallet - insufficient privileges

So I had google wallet working properly using the fix on an earlier release of CM7 Nightly and then I tried the ICS Port for a few weeks. Well I came back to CM7 nightlies and before doing so i did a clean wipe and format and now when I try to install google wallet I get an error that says "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (test-keys). Please contact Google Support" By accident I pressed the search key and the window disappeared and it seemed like it let me go through the process of setting up google wallet. I even received an email from google confirming it. However, it doesn't load the $10 so there's no way of telling if it would still work given the error. Is there a simple fix to this? I tried removing it and re-installing the fix to no avail. I'm a n00b if you couldn't tell already.
Had the same issue earlier and now wallet just sits there and syncs first time this has done this. Using Petes Kernel and Bugless Beast rom which Ive flashed a few times before now
I'm having the same problems, so what I am doing is unrooting then reroot and see if the problem had to do with 4.0 I'll let y'all know my status in about 30 minutes.
** UnRooted, reRooted, and flashed over cm7 again and no fix..
***** Now I am completely unrooted and fully updated and still GW doesn't work*******
Flash the google wallet fix in the same recovery session when flashing your custom rom
this i do know but now i am completlely stock and my nfc can't uncheck, wont work at all... idk what happened but nothing is working now.
Had this problem too.
I was running ICS Dirty 3.6 for a few days and just flashed back to GPA18 and now wallet doesn't work, gives the above mentioned error. I contacted google wallet services and they are "investigating" the problem.
The support specialist I talked to let me know that wallet is not designed to work with custom roms and rooted phones because of security issues. I am wating to hear back from the wallet team about how they will resolve this. I will update here when I hear back from them and let you know how they resolved the issue.
See it isn't a Google Wallet problem its an NFC problem, you won't be able to uncheck the NFC option in the wireless settings. Lucky for me the balance in my Google Wallet account is $0.00 lol
I can check and uncheck my NFC option in settings. ?

Yea I can't, guess its broke on my phone now. When I press it to uncheck it, it just greys out then I press back then reenter wireless settings and it's still checked in green like normal

Something weird
ok as you know from reading these posts I cant uncheck NFC while Google Wallet is installed on the phone. when I use titanium back up to take it off then I can uncheck it. So I tried to install it again and then it still wouldn't uncheck it just greys out ( even the check ) and when I go to Google Wallet its just a straight Black Screen and it just sits there.

I tried this with cm7, ics, and oxygen. So I'm guessing it is an nfc related issue like everyone else is saying. It was working great before--not sure what went wrong in between.
Works Only on Rooted Stock ROM
I just installed this on my AT&T Nexus S and it works, got the $10 pre-paid card too. I switched to CM7 ROM and I got the "insufficient secure element privileges" error. Seems like Google Wallet is blocking CUSTOM ROMS -- It makes sense, it is dealing with money after all.
If you are getting the gray NFC and cannot check it on, just download the Nfc_fix.zip and flash it. It should work after that. Remember that flashes your Dalvik cache so the reboot will take longer.. don't panic and wait.

I could have sworn I had it working on CM7 originally. I remember getting the $10 as well. But maybe you're right and my memory is just serving me incorrectly.
edit: i got it to work on the latest oxygen. of course oxygen IS pretty much stock. i'm not sure that i did anything different though. i did a clean wipe, data, cache, dalvik, formatted system, cache, data, boot and installed rom gapps and wallet fix.

Everything you're telling I already know, I even unrooted the phone went back to 2.3.4 then updated to 2.3.5, then 2.3.7 I am still getting the same problem .. so it has nothing to do with root or the same way i've been flashing the fix. I flashed over the GW fix over 20 times with no problems until I flashed the ICS ROM that is out for the NS4G, after I flashed it, I've had nothing but problems.

I've had it working on cm7 all along using the googlewalletfix v5. Just have to reflash it each time I flash a nightly. Funny thing is market will show it's not installed but still updates it fine.

[Solved] Phone issues, need help please!

Posted this in the CM10 dev thread, but decided I may get some better help by posting here, and here's my OP from the thread:
so yesterday my phone randomly shut off and it seemed to completely reset my phone. It booted up fine with two or three apps missing and all of my settings lost. I didn't think much of it until today when I tried to fix it. I did a fully wipe because some apps had disappeared and wouldn't download from the play store and wouldn't restore from TiBu. I went ahead and did the full wipe, flashed latest gapps and my device started up. I began trying to restore my apps and what not, but at I was navigating the phone my app switch soft key and home key would not function. They vibrate when pressed but don't do anything; only the back key works. I went to settings and remapped the soft keys to see if it was just a glitch and nothing changed. Still no function, only vibration. I then rebooted to recovery and did yet another full wipe and this time tried to install aokp just to see if it was a bug with cm (yes I know aokp i built from cm but I had just downloaded the latest nightly to my phone and deleted the old one so this was a test of the new nightly). Still no cheese. I was then thinking to myself, screw it and at least try to restore some apps, but after configuring my google account and opening he play store i get a constant no connection, retry button. Most of the stock apps will not even open. I flashed a TiBu.zip to restore the app and great, that worked but restoring from in TiBu doesn't work now. I tried reflashing cm and essentially repeated the above steps without any luck. Any ideas? I can't test my data/phone connection other than the fact that after setting up my google account, my email synced and I was able to make a call because the browser won't even open. MY [email protected]$s didn't do a nandroid either
Help a desperate guy in need, please!!
PS redownloading cm and gapps right now on my computer in case of a corrupted download, but to have the issue on cm and aokp is suspicious. I'll have to wait for an hour or two because my internet speed is that slow...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now I redownloaded CM10 fresh from the get.cm page and even did a md5 check and everything matched up, yet still no luck. another strange thing I've noticed is that my power menu, when I verified in the setting that all options for my power menu were selected, the only options that show up are power off, reboot and screenshot. I checked to be sure app permissions were correct and even fixed permissions from recovery. All apps that do open force close upon any activity, for example upon receiving an email in gmail, the gmail app force closes. I don't know if providing a logcat would be beneficial to anyone because I don't know how to read them.
I am currently waiting on a sense rom to finish downloading to verify that it isn't just aosp based roms, but my internet connection is terrible so the 600+mb file still has 2+hrs left. I am also downloading an ruu if nothing else works, but again with a 500+mb file it will take 2+hrs
Any help is much appreciated and I can provide more info if needed.
SOLVED
Sounds like it might be a kernel issue. Try flashing a different one.
If nothing else works, relock and RUU.

[Q] Unfortunately, Exchange Services has stopped

Hi, I would normally post this in the ROM forum that I downloaded, but since I'm a noob and am under 10 posts, I can't do it. I downloaded Pure Motive's ROM [ROM][VRBLK3][4.1.1][RLS14.1] GalaxyMod ¯`•._ and installed, clean install, wiped data, wiped devlik cache, and booted into ROM. Pretty quickly I get: Unfortunately, Exchange services has stopped. I did not even have time to set up my email account (which is an exchange account). I go through trying to set up email, and I still get that error.
Wondering if this is something anyone's encountered whether on Pure's ROM or another? I tried to search all the forums, and did not find a fix anywhere other than people telling you to remove any exchange accounts...but I don't have any added.
I flashed it again after wiping and clearning cache again, and that didn't seem to make a difference.
Thanks, I think this is post number 3 for me...so you know, getting close!

I'm on Verizon as well. Also, I'm going to flash the ROM for the 3rd time and just accept the defaults and see if that makes a difference. I did select Nova Launcher instead of stock, so maybe that could be the problem...
I tried some of the other Kernals with no luck so far as well with the issue, and reading through the ROM post I don't find anything in there about kernal issues, people seem to be using a few different with no issues.
I know on my older phones, fixing permissions we always the cure. Maybe give that a shot.

I wonder if it's a ROM issue, I flashed Executioner ROM and don't have the same issues, so I guess I am oging to stick with that for now. Hope someone has an answer, I'd love to flash a different ROM, and have had trouble with CM10.1 ROM's not working, but those had issues with home button not working, and i was too lazy to research solutions for those.

[Q] Apps Crashing Randomly After Xposed but that's just the beginning....

Hello there! i'm making my forum debut while extremely confused as to how to proceed with fixing my Verizon Galaxy S3, running the stock android JB 4.3. So there is no custom ROM.
I realize that this may or may not be similar to a plethora of posts about apps crashing around the time android 4.3 was released but i've upgraded to 4.3 less than a month ago. After diving through countless forums, i couldn't find one that addressed the same problems that my device had. They were all similar, but the solutions posed in those threads did not work with my device. Plus the problems i have are not isolated to one app.
I had just recently upgraded to android 4.3 which had unrooted my previously rooted device. After using Chainfire's method of rooting the SCH-I535, utilizing saferoot, i then installed the Xsposed Framework and that was really where my troubles began. A few days had passed while i was tinkering with a few modules like XBlast tools, XHaloFloatingWindow, Xposed Torch, and Wanam Xposed, and i had a good sense of what mods interfered with other mods and it was only last night when the problem first arose.
Without warning, a game that i play all the time stopped working. Literally in the time span of 6 hours (i was sleeping) something happened and the beginning of my problems started. Every time i would open the app, the app itself would close and i would get a message saying, "Unfortunately, Valkyrie Crusade has stopped." It was only a few hours later did i realize that Pandora, an app i use every day, suddenly stopped working and provided me with the same message. There was no error ID, and clearing the cache/data, reinstalling the apps, did not work. Once it became 4-5 apps that i normally use to get the message, i tried uninstalling the mods as well as the xposed framework but that also did not work. I also tried restoring the game as well as the other apps to a backup i'd made just the week prior with Titanium Backup but i still had the message coming up and the apps still did not work.
As a last resort i did a factory wipe/reset. During the initial set up, i opted to allow google to restore my apps (which i'm not sure i should have done) and after everything was restored, i tried using the apps, and i was met with the familiar message "Unfortunately, (app) has stopped.". I have run out of ideas. While i'm more tech savvy than most, i'm really just a novice when it comes to Android. How should i approach my next step? If anyone needs logs or anything like that, if you would be so kind as to walk me through the steps to get them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you in advance.
EDIT - 2/10/14
I have successfully resolved the issue (or at least, removed it) from happening. I bricked my phone but thankfully i was able to get into download mode.
Follow this guide! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2586319 - just be aware, this will delete all of your apps. backup all your propers and jump in.
This is the only method that i had success with. Other methods i tried are explained above and in the comments. Good luck and i hope everything works out!
If you had the Xposed frameware installed and you also installed Wanam xposed, this will help if you are experiencing apps crashing. I'm no expert, but i'm really glad to have resolved this as quickly as possible. I couldn't have done it without everyone! You guys literally kept my sanity healthy during this whole ordeal.
*NOTE* - The link to the guide above will lead you to a stock rom of android 4.3 for the SCH-I535. I'm not sure about other samsung devices but one user had success with a SCH-I605 (galaxy note 2) in the comments.
*ANOTHER NOTE*- i'm not in any way explicitly saying that the xposed framework and wanam xposed module are the cause of this glitch. Frankly i have no idea. But they seem to have been problems for a few people, myself included. If you want to explore this further, i'd suggest going to each of the respective forums. For me, i'm going to make sure i have a proper Nandroid before i do anything crazy. Lesson learned.
Again, Thank you!
PS- since i'm newer to this forum, i have no idea how to edit the title of this Q....haha if someone could let me know....that would be great.
I am having a similar issue.
Can you check your logcat to see what's going on?
I'm getting a segfault in webview code. I believe my issue is only in apps which provide a webview (e.g. mostly apps which display ads).
There were a flurry of updates to the google stuff (google search, google play services) as well as to a bunch of xposed modules over the past couple days. Sometime after this I noticed my problems starting.

This is actually my first time checking a logcat. What should i be looking for? I'm a little overwhelmed with all the colors and all the text in the one log that i made trying to open the app.
I filtered the log with the name of the app and also "seg" to see what i would get. CrashAnrDetector w/ the letter D inside a blue square that has (SEGV_ACCERR), fault addr #######.
was that what you were talking about? From what i could see there were crash reports with webview code when the app was opening up a website.

Sometimes xposed breaks apps or system ui. Disable it, reboot, and see if your problems persist, it's hard to read a logcat.

I think i'll try that next. I used to have TWRP but had to flash the stock recovery just to upgrade to 4.3. I'll try to get a clean copy of stock OS, flash and just start over from scratch. I'll be sure to let you guys know if i got it to work.
ran into a bump in the road. flashing a stock copy of android 4.0.4 did not work. Browsing through a few forums informed me that i'm unable to downgrade after i've taken the 4.3 upgrade. so next i tried to flash TWRP to boot into recovery mode and flash a rom from there. That didn't work either. I kept getting an authentification error.
As of now i can't get into download mode anymore. I get the yellow triangle saying Verizon detects unauthorized software. I'm able to get into recovery mode but i'm not sure what i can do with stock android recovery....
what can i do from here?
EDIT: I am able to get into download mode. I'm not sure why i wasn't before and now i am...
EDIT2: I have tried flashing the "official" stock android 4.3 but it fails everytime. I have also tried flashing twrp and cwm but i get a red Secure Check Fail: recovery. I suspect the bootloader has been locked. I'll look into ways of getting it unlocked again...

Same here. Disabling all xposed modules didn't work. Disabling xposed entirely didn't work. Doing both and then uninstalling didn't work. My guess is that along the way either xposed or wanam xposed made some sort of change that it can't roll-back when it's disabled/uninstalled.
I resorted to taking a TiBu update of everything and reflashing.
Once I get my battlestation fully armed and operational I plan on taking frequent nandroids and seeing if I can replicate the issue. Once I do that, (if I do) I can compare the last known good nandroid to see what messed up.

thank you thank you!
Now back to the problem at hand......let's see if the problem still persists.
It's completely fixed! No apps (so far :fingers-crossed have crashed and i'm able to happily play my games again! sigh. that was refreshing.
Thank you to everyone! i will edit my first post to outline what i did and how i fixed it, finally....
during saferoot process your suppose to update SU then continue with finishing up the root process..took me several hours to figure this out..no errors now since I figured this out
Sent from my SCH-I535 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
That... Actually makes sense. When I used safe root I didn't check for any other updates because I assumed the program took care of that for me. That and because when I opened su there were no notifications to update. So maybe that could be a solution as well.

[Q] [HELP] 403 Google play error, help!

Hello awesome people at xda forums!
I had my N5 for about 2 weeks now, for the first week i've used stock, but i had to try som new roms/kernels so i installed cataclysm rom with franco kernel. I had no problems everything worked great, and google play worked. On my old phone i had xposed framework, and a few modules. I've downloaded it on my N5 and got "keepchat, bootmanger, greenify and gravitybox. Everything still worked great, i used some of the features with gravitybox and enabled some feature where i had to reboot my phone. Something i about statusbar, not really sure though. I've hot rebooted, and my phone kept crashing "system ui crashed" and i tried normal reboot, still crashing. I've factory reset with twrp and used a stock 4.4.2 backup i had, and i was about to download busybox then i got some errors. I think i got a 920 error at first, I've searched the whole web and found a solution. (Or i thought i did) Then it gave me a 403 error, I've spent my whole day trying to find a solution, but could not find any. Heres what I've tried:
Reboot phone. *same issue*
Wipe cache and data from google play, then reboot. *same issue*
Sign out of google account, then wipe cache and data from google play and google services framework, then reboot and sign in. *same issue*
Make a new google account and use it to download apps. *same issue*
Wipe dalvik cache and cache from twrp. *same issue*
Install a update for google play *same issue*
Check for proxy, had none.
I think my APN is fine, not sure though.
I've mixed some of the options above, but still with the same stupid error "403"
My question is, is my N5 bricked? If not, is there a solution to this problem?
Best regards,
Kristoffer
If your phone turns on in any capacity, it's not bricked. That term is only supposed to be used when your phone is rendered completely useless and turned into a paperweight or wait for it.... a brick.
If I were in your shoes I would just flash the factory image from Google and start over again. That'll get you back on your feet.
