I have a att galaxy s3 I747, and i recently rooted, and am trying to uninstall knox by downloading Titanium Backup. However, I cannot do this as neither google.com or the playstore are working. It gives me a connection error no matter what network I am on, and when i try to go on google.com on my browser, it says the site is not verified. Please help?
A quick search came up with the links below. Best of luck .
Google play store server error
[FIX] [SOLVED!] Play Store No Connection Error Fix!
Hello everyone
I am not a developer but would appreciate any helpful feedback, preferably in layman's language, that anyone might be able to offer to a problem that I am having with my android device, running version 4.2.2, a large Hannspree 13.3 tablet. I bought the tablet about six months ago and I am happy with the general performance. However, recently I downloaded a number of streaming media apps from Google Play Store including the Sky Go and Sky Movies apps and also the All4 Channel 4 on demand app. When I tried to run these apps, I got a message saying 'These apps are not supported on rooted devices'. I am led to believe that the Hannspree 13.3 is rooted by default at manufacture although I did not know this at the time of purchase and indeed, at that time I was totally ignorant about 'rooting'. For this reason, I have not yet opted to do a factory reset of my device because, if true, then this would not solve the issue. After researching comments on a number of internet forums, I came across several suggestions as to how to resolve the issue. I opted for downloading the SuperSU app, which then enabled me, via the app settings, to perform a 'full unroot', which I duly did. By downloading a root checker app, I was able to verify that my large Hannspree tablet is now unrooted. However, when I tried the Sky Go and Sky Movies apps after unrooting, I still got an error message 'Not supported on rooted devices'. I no longer get the 'rooted app' message when I play the All4 app, but the app doesn't play, it simply hangs. Therefore, and I have been in touch with the Sky Community forums, these streaming media apps all still perceive my device to be rooted but it is not, although someone from the Sky Community forum suggested that there still must be traces of the original rooting in the OS/firmware which the Sky apps and other streaming media apps are picking up on. I tried, on advice, a hide root app but when I tried this, I get a message saying 'Cannot find the su binaries'. When I tried to reinstall SuperSU I got a similar message 'Cannot locate the su binaries and SuperSU cannot install them. This is a problem'. It seems that the original unrooting has removed the su binaries and I cannot now try hide root apps. However, there must be some trace of root that the streaming media apps are still picking up on.
Would anyone know how to remove these traces of root. I did read somewhere, another suggestion from a forum, that it was possible to manually unroot a device by using a file manager app and deleting su binaries from system/bin and system/xbin directories and deleting superuser.apk from system/apps directory. However having browsed system directory with root browser in the ROM toolbox app, the su binaries are not present in the system/bin or system/xbin which, I suppose, is further verification that my device is now unrooted. But it can't be fully unrooted, otherwise surely the streaming media apps would play.
Should I do a factory reset to restore the device to its default (presumably rooted) state and then manually delete the su as described above?
The curious thing is that the streaming media apps work perfectly on my smaller Hannspree 10.1 device, which obviously is not rooted and not perceived as rooted.
Is it possible to install the operating system of my smaller Hannspree device onto my larger Hannspree device? I tried the 'check available updates' in the About tablet tab in Settings but I get an error message on my large Hannspree device to the effect of 'Error invalid ROM ID' so cannot do an update, or check for an update.
Can any of you techies out there help?
Thanks, in anticipation.

Hi, thank you for using XDA assist.
There is a general forum for android here*http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/help*where you can get better help and support if you try to ask over there.*
Good luck.
I am unable to login to the Galaxy Apps app (Samsung app store) on my Galaxy S6. Got the message 'You need to login again to protect your account and keep using this service. Confirm your password' (translated from Dutch, so the exact message in English could be different).
Logging in at account.samsung.com works fine.
What I have tried but without luck:
- Deleted all updates of the Galaxy Apps app and reinstalled them
- Deleted all data of the Galaxy Apps app
- Rebooted my phone, also in safe mode.
- Changed my password
Samsung S6 Edge
Android 7.0 with latest update
Galaxy Apps app version 4.2.18.2 (latest version)
Is your phone rooted?
It was rooted before, but I believe not anymore. Root Checker tells me 'Not Rooted' and Safety Net Status gives 'Passed'.
I have installed a stock ROM after root.

I have installed a stock ROM after root.
Since you have rooted your phone previously, you have tripped KNOX. You need Wipe all data from the device and flash STOCK FW via Odin, after this it should let you login but you won't be able to use Spay or S Health due to tripping KNOX.
Should I be able to login and use Samsung Cloud after this?
I have connected my Gear S3 smartwatch to another phone, installed the apps and watch faces, made a backup including these and would like to restore this backup on my own phone. But therefor, I need to login to my Samsung Account and access Samsung Cloud where the backup is stored.
Flashed stock firmware after a full data wipe and now I am able to login to my Samsung Account. Thanks!
Hello there,
I have an old XPOD tablet, The google apps in it are not responding well and i get errors like, (Google Play services have stopped working). I tried rooting the tablet with Kingo root and deleted the google apps and install the recent ones but i get the same error ((Google Play services have stopped working)).
I cannot flash the Gapps package in it using ADB and Fastboot because it doesnt have a bootloader.
Is there any way that i somehow flash the GApps into it to probably make it work again? Or any other relevant solution that could help me get away from this issue.
Hi Everyone,
I bought Soyes 7S+ from Gearbest, Android 6.0, impossible to add google account, when trying to access Play Store I get ""There was a problem communicating with Google servers".
Troubleshooting done so far, based on multiple web-based articles:
1. 2-step verification confirmed to be OFF
2. Cache cleared for all Google-related apps, same error after reboot
3. Google Play Services 8.7.03 reinstalled with 9.4.52, installed (multiple other versions were giving error "issues with parsing the package)", now gets popup error "Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services", still "There was a problem communicating with Google servers".
4. Rooted the device with Kingroot 5.3.7, which - surprisingly - says my system is Android 5.1. Tried changing values in host file, default was 127.0.0.1 localhost, tried other with "127.0.0.1 localhost, in secod line #127.83.240.239 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com" - still no luck. Tried removing the host file completely and rebooting - still no luck
5. Tried connecting via different networks - still nothing
6.Tried installing PrebuiltGMSCore.apk, nothing.
7.Wiped to factory settings - nothing
Installation from unknown sources is ON
USB debugging is ON
OEM unlocking is ON
Since this was one was likely shipped from China to Poland, I am suspecting some locally modded, not allowing Google Play Store access android to be installed; thought about installing some international version of android but sadly I have no skill or knowledge on how to get it done right without bricking the device.
Maybe someone managed to get it fixed? Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
