hi there im hoping someone out there can help.
i have an m8 which i rooted last month after rooting i quickly decided that it wasnt something i would actually get the use from and so unrooted it and restored the factory rom. since then ive been plagued with rcp errors when using the play store. sometimes clearing data and caches works but other times its days later before i can install the apps i wanted.
after hours online and more hours playing around with the phone a realized that when i go to settings/apps/googleplayservices all options are greyed out, it seems like the app has been disabled somehow and dosent seem to be a way of re-enabling it finding it in play store it allows me to open it and gives me the option to disable it from there but even when clicking it it dosent seem to have an affect. im hoping that by rooting it and unrooting i i havent screwed something up.
Hi,
I need to know which M8 you have. There are seperate sections for each model/carrier. Then I can point you to a place to ask for help. ?

EDIT2: It seems that it wont remember settings either. I disable WiFi, and after reboot its back on. Same with all other settings. If I uinstall an app, its back in normal function after reboot. If I install a new app, its gone after reboot. And I cant even perform a hard reset, everything back to normal after I tried it... sick stuff!!
EDIT: Actually it seems like it wont accept new installations or something. Because now it found new updates to apps I did upgrade earlier this morning already...
Its the two latest installed apps Im missing after installing them (Swiftkey X and Dolphin Browser HD). Also now Im trying to upgrade my phone to version 4 of android, but after downloading the firmvare, it need a restart and then I have the same problem as with the apps. Its like I never downloaded the firmware, tried 3 times now and all 3 times the same happens. Anyone have similar problems with their phones??
Also noticed that last the phone reset itself it yesterday at approximately 9.04 (that was when my weather app last updated). Really wonder what can cause this? No one with any similar experiences or possible solutions?
Her guys, so here's a thing. I adb sideloaded an OTA update to my phone. I had Google now on KK and after update it was turned on on lollipop as well, but Google search app kept crashing from time to time so i went to settings>apps>all and cleared its data. Well, guess what? It fixed the problem, app doesn't randomly stop anymore, but i lost Google now. and I really wanna get it back. I know the old way to turn it on doesn't work anymore and i read several threads here on this topic so i also know there is a way, but i need to factory reset my phone. Is there any other way so that i don't have to wipe all my data?
P.S. I wish android had some sort of software like iTunes which takes literally everything from your phone, including even information about how you previously had your phone settings, converts it into one file and stores on your computer. After restoring the backup everything is in its place, like you've had before. Damn.
Let me start off by saying Im not a n00b at this stuff by any means...I did however decide to go cell phoneless for a couple years, so Ill admit Im probably way behind on everything, but I usually dont have any problems. I got my S5 brand new around Christmas, it had 4.4.4 already loaded on it. I decided instead of going crazy like I did with my GS2 and Vibrant, wanting to customize every aspect of it, Id keep it simple, root it, debloat it myself and be done with it. I rooted it no problem, but everytime I rebooted my phone Google Maps and S Health would force close repetitively, until I went into the priv-app folder and reinstalled Health Services and same with Google Maps. Theyd work fine until I rebooted then it was a rinse was repeat situation every time. I updated to Lollipop through Odin, Rooted it, same issue, same 2 apps. While its not The worst problem to have, it is very tedious. So for the time being, Im unrooted, and I really hate the 734 apps sprint preloads on their phones, and Id like to change a couple things in the build.prop, but Im going with the less annoying option for now. Anyone else have a similar or even the same issue?
Also I guess I should mention Ive tried doing a full Factory Reset, wiped cache and dalvik, and before I have time to login to sync my accounts to my phone, if its rooted they force close over and over.

Is this when you are simply rooted? Or after you have debloated? If so, maybe you removed or disabled something important.
I have tried to keep it simple so far as well. I updated to Lollipop OTA. Even though I took the normal OTA update something about the phone was not right. Maybe some old settings or data causing problems. I did a full data wipe and then flashed this stock ROM. It is Deodexed and has a few things removed, but it mostly stock. I also ran the Debload tool included in that thread to rid myself of all of the Sprint apps. The phone has been super stable and smooth.
This happens once its rooted before I remove anything. I learned a long time ago to be careful what I remove, lol. But like I said, once the phone boots up before I even have the chance to set it up S Health and Google Maps force close and continue to do so until I go into the folder I believe its /system/priv-apps/ and reinstall the Health Service and same with Google Maps. and Ive wiped the phone clean, clearing it of any settings. I knew it wouldnt work, but figured I had tried everything else, but I even tried moving them to my external sd. I guess its just one of those things, Ill either figure it out or just keep it unrooted for a while.
That doesnt mean if someone has any ideas I dont want to hear them though.
After many long attempts to fix this I have come up empty handed. I believe the Hardware is either corrupted or damaged but need an expert to help confirm. (it doesnt even seem worth it at this point to fix, but i want to try anyways, its my kids tablet) I will add as much detail as possible.
First the tablet would get stuck in booting (A9 screen) found that this is due to a corrupted firmware. I flashed a firmware onto the device and it was able to boot up, however still with a few issues. google play store when updated would instantly crash "google play store has stopped" the second you clicked to use it. the only fix i found for this was to uninstalled the google play store update back to factory and it would worked, with the problem of some apps had to be downloaded over and over until it decided to complete, often finishing with a package file invalid. but i managed to get a few games and whatever and gave it back to my daughter.
after about a week everything crashed at once on boot up. process.google.gapps would crash over and over and over as soon as you click ok, many other apps crashing as well and just repeating google account manager, Key chain, RS OTA, and others i cant remember at this time (the problem is currently not occurring or i would go get this information.) mostly the gapps process was crashed over and over making the tablet unusable due to constantly trying to click these errors.
Odd behaviour, during that i managed to click and quickly select settings, and went in and deleted a bunch of apps or uninstalled updates on ones that were crashing, i could uninstalled enough to stop all the errors.. then i rebooted the tablet.. and all the errors were back, and everything i uninstalled was back too, how the f**k?! lol.
i attempted such things as going into recovery and deleting all the cache and media, nothing. so i flashed it again.
the above error return after some time. and i flashed it again (my daughter wanted it working this seems to be my only quick and temporary fix, i have disabled many apps and stopped it from automatically updating, however i still found some settings after being changed, to be undone back to the way it was before i changed it after rebooting the tablet. again it always crashes when google play store updates. this time i rebooted the tablet and went to update the store, and now the app can NOT be found in the store. there does not even seen like a way to update the tablet like "here is your only buggy version, have fun"
CORRECTION: Google Play Store could not be updated because after restarting the tablet the updates were back, as if i had never uninstalled them. i didnt bother checking the first time because this is very unusual.
I am willing to root, change, hack, smash, throw out the window, put it in the hydraulic press at work...i dont care lol
i believe the hard drive has damage.
(i didnt run thru all the attempts i have made to fix things, cause i could write a novel. Thank you for reading.

Sup fellas just posting this from my phone
Basically I rooted it with CFAUTO root I found on a site that seemed trustworthy due to its credibility found on various sites.
Root works perfectly along with Xposed for awhile but eventually a week later every single app will start force closing, or immediately fail to launch on touch. From instagram to KiK to play store itself.
Rebooting is not a good solution as it resolves into a boot loop.
This has been happening consistently for a few weeks. The only solution to get my phone back up and running is to do a factory reset (which in turn means setting everything up again to my preferences. )
This pretty much led me to leave the phone as it comes plus a few common apps and just rely on my iPad more.
Does anyone have a solution? I followed the tutorial down to the T. Video and guide. I'm considering switching to stock but want to see if anyone else had this issue or was able to fix it
I would say to use this guide.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Havent tried CFAUTO root, and I dont think its recommended.
I had a similar issue with apps force closing, though I didn't use cfauto root.
The issues I had, after finding out from much trial and error, was that after I rooted my apps would update before Google play services. This would cause problems because the updated apps needed the updated play services to run.
Revert back to stock, then make sure that Google play services is up to date before updating any other app. After play services are up to date, make sure your play store is up to date. Then go ahead and update all of your apps. Next reroot your phone.
Like I said before I didn't use cfauto root, but I hope this helps.
