[Q] Nexus 7 Unlcoked & Rooted, issues with Google play after auto updated to 4.3 - General Questions and Answers

Hi all,
I have a nexus 7 unlocked & rooted using Wug's nexus 7 root tool kit. When unlocked it was having OS 4.2.2 . Recently I have auto updated the OS version to 4.3.
From then, I am facing issues installing apps from Google Play. The dialog just stays in downloading and never installs the app.
I tried to unroot & lock the device, but the command prompt stays blank and looks to be a boot loop.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Best Regards,
Prasadu

Flash stock rom
Or install a custom rom....

Hi Amit,
Thanks for the reply. I tried to install stock and lock&unroot using Wugs Nexus7 root tool kit. It was not exiting the command prompt for almost 30 minutes. There seems to be booting problem.
Could you point me any link on how to unroot and lock the tablet.
Thanks,
Prasadu

[Q] Want to take Nexus S back to Stock

Hi, I have a Nexus S i19020A that I bought off someone. It came with ICS and I have been using it for a good 2 months. Just a couple days ago, I received an update for Jelly Bean on my phone and figured it would be safe to update it, so I did. After the update, the phone restarted and rebooted but my settings would not run. Every time I try to go into settings, I get this message, "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped.". I tried to factory reset the phone back to ICS using the recovery mode but all it did was erase all my apps as if it was taken out of a brand new box but the problem remained as well as the Jelly Bean. I would like to return the phone back to its stock. I am a total noob when it comes to android phone since this is my first android phone and it came with ICS already. Would someone be able to walk me through step by step on how to return my Nexus S back to stock or fix the settings app problem? I would appreciate it if someone were able to help me. I also have skype if it makes it easier to walk me through the process. Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Go to https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
Find your NexusS version (ICS 4.0.4) and flash it. Then feel free to update or not to jelly bean. (The system will download the upgrade automatically)

Thanks for replying back to my post. Unfortunately, I can't seem see Android on my device manager on my computer maybe because I can't get access to my settings to turn on my usb debugging mode. I also can't get turn on wifi as well on my phone to download an app that will help me enable it. I can't use fastboot on my computer to flash my phone if it cant detect the device. Do you have any ideas to get around this? Thanks
Do you have exclamation marks in Device Manager when you connect your phone?
Hi ekerazha!
Thanks for replying to my post. I actually somehow managed to get my phone installed properly onto my computer and my device manager shows android now. With that said, I was able to use fastboot to unlock my phone and fix my problem and reverting back to ICS ROM instead of the Jelly Bean ROM. Im still debating if i want to update my phone to JB ROM but im afraid it might screw it up again. But thanks again for replying. I really appreciate it.
Yes you can update. Your problem was special (may be something u ve installed). There is no raison now u have flashed your data to get Setting error again.

try using an updated superuser and don't use this section of the thread when asking questions..
you should use CWM to flash superSU.
You will need SuperSU instead of SuperUser.

[Q] ATT S3 i747 lost root

I have had my phone rooted for about a year. I updated my phone 2 months ago to Quantum kitkat 4.4.2 and I seem to have lost root. I can still reboot into custom recovery, update and install zip files, create backup, etc. yet the phone has lost superuser. I have tried re installing SU via app and zip. It says "the SU binary needs to be updated" Every way i have tried has failed. I have tried rerootin using Framaroot and through terminal emulator using motochopper. none works. When I updated to the newest Kitkat 6.1 kernell yesterday in recovery it said " phone is not rooted would you like to root?" when i said yes it stayed in endless boot loop.
HELP! How can I get root back without factory reset and staying on Quantum kitkat?
Samsung SGH I747
android version 4.4.2
Try this go to settings about phone tao the build 7 times now it should say developer options now enabled go to developer options find were it says root access and make sure it says apps and adb then reboot and try to install SuperSU let me know if that helped

[Q] Can't install 5.1.1 update on rooted N5

Hi All,
My Nexus 5 was on 5.1 and is rooted with Chainfire SU. The OTA update arrived a couple days ago but I can't apply it - it goes into recovery, starts the install and then stops showing "Error" and needs a reboot.
Best way to get 5.1.1 on it?
Ric
I have this issue too and would like help. I tried the unrooting function provided by SuperSU but that didn't resolve the issue.

Thank you! Dirty flash using the nexus root tool did the job nicely

Strange boot error message

Nexus 9.
Running M preview 2, clean flashed a few days ago. Rooted, TWRP installed, ElementalX kernel. I just started getting this message on the splash screen during boot.
"Your device is corrupt. It can't be trusted and may not work properly.
Visit this link on another device: g.co/ABH"
It boots fine and works fine. No other symptoms, at all.
Does anyone know what this is?
I searched XDA and did a more general Google search and found nothing.
Thanks, in advance.
Having the same issue except it doesn't boot. I've had it unlocked for a while. Just flashed M v2 yesterday. Wanted to root just now. Ran "sh root-mac.sh" and started getting this error.

Hello, do you mind sharing the link to preview 2, i googled it but didn't see an exact mention of "preview v.2"
Is it one of the ones found on this link?

I have this same message on my Nexsus 6. Neither Google, Motorola or Sprint can help me get my phone to turn on again. It's past the one year warranty, so no one will replace it. Can anyone help me?

I hit the same message loading CM13 on a Nexus 9. Google explains here - support.google.com nexus answer 6185381? I wiped all partitions and loaded stock Marshmallow - the error disappeared. After re-flashing TWRP 3.0.2 the "corrupt" error came back. I then rooted with BETA-SuperSU-v2.66 which got rid of the error. Have since added Google account, updated apps etc. Still booting without error.
So would you say twrp is the reason it gives that error? I rooted my phone today, but when I went to my recovery to check to see if I indeed had a nandroid back up, I didn't... I made one using titanium backup, but didn't show in twrp. Anyhow, about that error message... I didn't know what to do after I had the pop up error message so many times... so i just unrooted my Nexus 6p. I really would like to keep my phone rooted, but I didn't like seeing that concerning error message. Any ideas of what I can do. I would be starting from scratch again. Any links would help! Thank you in advance.
