Factory reset should do the trick

You need to find the gapps package for the Android version you are on, then flash the .zip in your recovery.

Have you flashed any ROMs to your phone? Not flashing the correct Gapps.zip at the same time would cause your problem. If you are still stock, then a factory reset should do the trick.

Don't factory reset through the privacy menu. Do it through CWM or whatever recovery you are using and you will stay rooted

CWM & TWRP cannot access anything in recovery.

Hi all,
just bought HTC Butterfly X920D 3 days ago from a guy. I realise he has root this device bcos I cannot do OTA update. System check download the update but failed to install. After that I search for a fix n found CWM & Rom manager. I flashed recovery & try to apply the update manually buy CWM says E:Cant mount sdcard, can access cache, blocking device required. Then I look for another fix and arrived here. After all that mess, I tried to factory reset the device via setting in phone is but after resetting n restarts, my HTC is entering recovery again and I opted from the menu selected "boot systems now". It booted andall the contents is still there!
Looks like the reset function isn't working anymore. Any suggestions on what I shud do?
Thx on advance. Cheers
you have to install the original recovery before applying the OTA.
I have it here
Flash it via bootloader

Update: I send my HTC to a repair shop & pay them to do factory reset & unroot. Now I pickup the device & it has been unroot and stock roms again. The problem is it still cannot OTA update also.. I thought after return the phone to standard unroot & factory reset it will be able to receive update. No luck here.. any advise?
Waste MYR60 for this. That's about 20usd. Demmm

[Q] Flashing Question

I succesfully added clockwork recovery, and installed the cyanogen mod 10.1 (4.2.2) to my phone, however when I click reboot, it gets stuck on the Samsung Logo
I then took the battery out and did a dalvic cache clear but the same issue occured... My install was succesfull, its just that it gets stuck on the Samsung Logo...
what have I done wrong?? Should I try install a different mod?? Or have I bricked my phone?? Or is there a foolproof way of installing a mod using Odin??
PS: (additional info)
I renamed the mod file before installing if that helps
I have no backup files
the only thing I can access on the phone atm is the Recovery Mode and Download Mode...
You would have backed up your previous rom..try fixing permissions....if not check cynogenmod is for your device or not.... If not download your device os reflash it by installing stock recovery.

I dont want to hijack this thread, but I have basically the same problem. I rooted my GT-I9300 phone and all was well, until I ran "NoBloat" to remove unwanted apps. Thereafter it runs up to the Samsung logo, then I get the following messages in succession: "Unfortunately messaging has stopped", "Unfortunately the process com.android has stopped", "smartcard service has failed" and "unfortunately the phone has stopped". I removed the battery, tried to flash the ROM again using the standard Samsung.tar file to restore to factory settings, but it made no difference. I am able to read the S3 files when linked to my Desktop and I can get it into download mode. I have run out of ideas and need help from the clever members.
If you get force closes fix permissions
Hit thanks if I helped

Firstly, cwm doesn't work. Its garbage. I've semi bricked my phone well over 10 times trying to flash cm on it with cwm. Install goomanager and install TWRP to flash.
Secondly, once into TWRP recovery. Go to wipe>advance wipe> and select delvik cache, data, cahce, storage. Then go back to TWRP home and install the cm 10.1 and also the gapps package.

I think that bloatware app has taken away crucial files needed to keep the stability of an app up...
I don't know what I would do to fix that...
PS: please message me the samsung.tar file

Android 4.4.1 On Rooted Stock Nexus 5

So I've downloaded all my apps and mods for my stock rooted Nexus 5(running android 4.4), how could I get and android 4.4.1 without unrooting?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
If you're using the stock kernel and haven't changed anything at all in /system, you can just flash the update in recovery. I'm stock rooted with TWRP, and it flashed just fine for me.
Could you give me a link to the update please!?

Did not work for me. Running stock with twrp. It mentioned something about unexpected info in build/prop file. Is it because I'm running art?

You must have modified your build.prop. Revert it back to stock and it should work.
posted this in another thread but wasn't getting much action, this one seems busier
Just flashed the official 4.4.1 zip file using TWRP onto my phone and rebooted...
Now i'm getting constant errors with every google application.
non-stop popups saying "unfortunately google play store has stopped"
My APN's all deleted themselves as well and now I can't even add any back in, I fill all the information in and I hit save and it doesn't save anything. No service now..
couldn't do a factory reset, button wouldn't respond
anyone else have any problems like this. I've tried wiping my dalvik and cache but that failed. had to wipe data first, then cache worked, then dalvik finally wiped...
I'll set my phone back up and see if it works now, just going through first boot procedures
Mines worked perfectly, no problems and camera loads and captures faster

I actually had the same things you mentioned in my stock n5, I wasn't even rooted (just unlocked) and it suddenly did all the things you said. I did all the same you did haha but I had to reflash factory images and it worked again, but I have no idea of what happened.

I did, but still got the error. But then I pasted in my backup build.prop from ROM toolbox and it worked! Then while in TWRP I reflashed TWRP (TWRPception!). However, when I went to reboot it did not prompt me to root the device. So I'm running 4.4.1 stock kernel with TWRP, but no root. TWRP never prompts to root. Does anyone know of a .zip I can flash to root the N5 via TWRP?

Did you maybe delete data for Google Framework in order to get the OTA quicker?
Dan Morrill (an Android engineer) said that that is REALLY not recommended because it can have all sorts of problems with all google apps. Doing that erases your device fingerprint used for push notifications, device identification etc. The playstore was definitely affected by this as well.

[Q] Can't install old app. CWM stuck recoverd.

Hello guys, after trying the methods to install CWM Recovery on GT-I8262, I was stuck on CWM Recovery. Then after searching the forum, I found this thread solution which helped me get back to my OS. But now I'm facing a very weird problem. Few of my old apps are installed on the OS, but a lot of others are missing. So, I went to reinstall them. When I downloaded from Play Store, it showed me a -21 error. Then I used some APKs from PC and tried installing them. Only one of those APKs were successfully installed, and ironically that app wasn't installed before. So, the main problem is I can't install my old apps. I have all backed up by "Titanium Backup" yesterday, but I can't even install that. Can somebody help?

@noob nabain hey mate don't worry, it's obvious that a rooted pico phone running stock will go into loop when you do a factory reset (it previously mentioned in the rooting guide).
hope you have a working recovery.
now download any rom.zip
wipe everything(as specified in the instruction of installation)
install the rom
hope this solves ypur problem :good:
