Two things, what is the error for Google play. Also to unroot just open supersu and under options there is a unroot option.
But let's fix your play first. Have you cleared app days by going to settings app management finding play and clicking clear data

"Can't establish a reliable connection to the server" and I have internet and 4g LTE and everything. I'm gonna unroot it now. and It keeps rebooting out of nowhere, Why is it doing this, when updated I didn't uninstall superuser, but, do i click temp install in my super-user?

Try clearing the data of play store first. Do you have super su or super user app? Also did you change anything else? And what do you mean update, like the ota?

Then you're not rooted anymore anyways. If you try a root app it will fail. It sucks but in your case I would say perform a factory reset

You don't need your computer. Plus as far add I know it doesn't work on a Mac. Use " super backup" to save your texts, " easy MMS export" to save MMS, and ROM TOOLBOX to back up apps. You're going to lose all your app data though. Once done under security option in settings select restore

[Q] [Solved] Titanium Backup

Ok, here it goes. I have been using tbu for a few years now on various phones. I am using version 3.9.0.1. This is one of the first problems i have had with it. When I go to install or uninstall any app, I get a force close. I have tried numerous things to get it working again with no success. Anyone have any thoughts?

The only thing i can think of is, i have too many apps backed up. I have 247 user apps that equal 3gb. I don't know, I'm lost on this. I might back them all up on my computer, then start uninstalling them normally. I'll get rid of 50 or so and then use tbu and see if it acts any better.

Play market

I am trying to buy an app from the market, but it tells me there is an error. I cleared cache, wiped app data, checked my cc info from my computer. I can buy stuff via my pc, but not my phone. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I Have no options to downgrade or remove updates. I can disable and reenable it, Which makes me accept terms and conditions again but still gives me an error code when trying to buy something
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
you might want to grab an older version of the market app from somewhere, there are plenty of Gapps packages available on the internet.
It's what worked for me when i couldn't install anything from the market. Restore an old backup, and re-upgrade. That fixed it.
The way I did it was through clearing the cache in settings and uninstalling updates. It worked for me after that.

Went into script manager and tried to uninstall, it wouldn't let me. It asked what I wanted to do with the file, and gave options, one is them being install, so installed vender and phonsky again. Went into apps, play was twice is normal size, had the option to uninstall updates, I did so, and cleared cache. Nothing but an error.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
it would be good if you post wich error Google Play tell you, then if someone already fixed that can help you.
I've got a problem with google play, it doesn't install anymore any app, free or shareware, so i removed market and installed an older .apk found on the web, from then on, also after the re-update it started again to work. Also if your phone is rooted you can avoid the automatic update.
I hope this could be useful
Sooooo using rom toolbox, I uninstalled play. I grabbed a very old school market, it worked, but it didn't want to update to play. I junked that, I grabbed inverted market (black and blue) and still the same issue.

you only have to log into your google accounts once. One log in and everything else works. At least thats how its always been. Even on other roms I just log in on first boot and connect to wifi and watch the downloads
This has only ever happened to me a few times and its when I'm on a ROM like aokp/cm.

How to update apps? Please help

I download plenty of beta version apps and homebrew apps (not from market). Is there a way to update these without losing app data by uninstalling and reinstalling the new version. I don't want to lose the app data.

Just install the new versions over the old ones. (App will be updated without data loss)
It doesn't let me do that. It tells me the previous version must be uninstalled before installing the new one.

In that case, use an app such as Titanium Backup to backup your data, then uninstall the old app and install the new one. After that, restore the data.
Do I need to root my phone to use that app?

Yes, the device would need root access.

it doesnt let me update , it forces me to uninstall making me lose data.
As stated the only way to do it is do back up the data with titanium back up. Uninstall the app, install new one and then restore the settings.
Also be careful about getting apks from places other then the official app stores or here

Is rooting safe?

As safe as installing apps you get outside of the play store. Safer even. Just do your research

[Q] Soft Brick

Hi. I recently tried to do an adb nvrestore of my phone because i was experiencing some trouble with touchwiz crashing. I had previously done a backup after rooting my device but after the restore my phone tries to boot repeatedly and will not enter recovery mode. I can however access download mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Section 5, but why would you do the nvrestore for that? That's only if you lose your imei.

No buddy that's a backup for the losing imei issue we were having. Now did you happen to make s backup in clock work mod recovery, that's how you backup your system.
Either way we can get you back up again. You'll be fine, but for now on read a lot unless you're rich because you can brick this phone beyond repair.

Okay at least you have a titanium backup. Fastest way to get your phone back is follow that guide I linked. There are prerooted stock ROMs linked in it. Use one of them, follow the instructions exactly. When done download titanium and reinstall your apps. You'll be on stock rooted jb.
