I have a GNEX running 4.3 build JWR66Y that I was using up until a few weeks ago when I got the S4, both Verizon, Got my S4 pretty much situated since it's an i545 and still not much offered for it by developers. But its ok. So I hear today that you can get kit kat 4.4 on the GNEX ( mine has been rooted for as long as I've had it). Problem I had was that when I recently upgraded my ROM from 4.1.2 to 4.3 it got screwed up and I ended up with no play store and none of my root apps. I think I lost root. So I go back to the Nexus master Wugfresh. download the tool box go thru the whole process, removed drivers, everything. Wiped it and went thru the root process again and checked the box to have a custom rom flashed at the same time. I get done and I have SuperSU but no play store so I cant get Titanium backup, CWM. TWRP. Nothing. I look into it some and I discovery I didnt have the wifi on when I opened SuperSU so no updated Binaries. I use my S4 as my hot spot and it easily supports my pc, iPad, and iPod all together at the same time. So I go into my gnex to turn on wifi and it just will not connect. It will say, "getting IP address" or checking connection, but it never fully connects. Now I know it worked earlier today because I used it just to see if it would work as a wireless device without phone service. So without the play store, a good wifi connection to get the binaries when I open SuperSU and no idea how I would even get the play store (was gonna try to download some g-apps to get it if I ever get that far) I'm seemingly stuck with no where to turn. At this point I've got no options unless I can find another internet source but I really don't think that's the issue since it works or every other device in the house. Any ideas or suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thank you,

Hey Guys -
I hope this is the correct forum to post this in - its the closest I could find...
After owning an Nvidia Shield (now "Portable") and loving it, I went ahead and purchased an Nvidia Tablet which came in 3-4 days ago. It's great except for that without the Controller (which is on Backorder ), you really can't do anything a standard tablet doesn't do.
Once updated, I rooted it and proceeded to install all the tools and apps I use. One thing I had always wanted to try out was the Modded Google Play. I saw that it had an installer so installed it and applied the modded version. Once back up, I had some difficulty with stability so went back to the original version installed (4.8.20.)
Since then, sometimes when I boot up, WiFi doesn't work and is disabled. I'm not saying I can't connect, but that it's in the "Off" position and greyed out to where I cannot turn it on! After a 2nd reboot, it would work again.
Yesterday, I rebooted and it was disabled again. This time, though, no matter how many times I restarted, it was still disabled!! I tried uninstalling / reinstalling Google Play a few more times as well as a few other reboots with no luck.
I will also say that I tried one more thing which may be the cause. I tried out Freedom to check it out, but it crashed when opening plus I found out it takes away functionality so uninstalled it. After uninstall, I found out the hard way that I had to rename my hosts file to get online working. At that point, though, WiFi would at least be enabled.
Any suggestions for what I can do? If I need to restore to OEM, I will - I just need to know the correct process as I am rooted. I'm on build KOT49H.20258_426.6902.
Thanks!
I had this happen when I first booted mine up. Then again when I unlocked the bootloader. I didn't do anything other then keep trying and it came on. It hasn't done it since.

Thanks for the reply. I ended up just performing a full reset and starting from scratch. At least I know what I want installed on it, now. That resolved the issue and it retained the root.
Thanks Guys
I was really worried about it, I chatted with nvidia support and they said to return it to the store. For whatever reason it started working, and hasn't done it since. I've seen a couple posts on it, so it might be a software bug.

Greetings, my fellow readers. I want you to bear with me and understand what I will say. I really need a crucial help. So, here it goes. I had a trouble, on my Device, which is the Galaxy Note 10.1 GT-N8000. In the past few years, I rooted this Device using Odin, but, I didn't install a CWM in it. I thought it wouldn't be that helpful. Then, years have passed, until, it was 2018, as of now. So, my device is Rooted, and its Grant Permission App is the SuperSU. Honestly, I really had fun in this Device, that's why it is so Special for me. Moving on, this is where my Trouble comes in. I am a very playful person when it comes to Clash of Clans. I really loved that game. But, because of my dissatisfaction, I did something terrible. I have heard about this App called "XmodGames", where you could install a lot of cool Mods and Features to a certain Game, and, Clash Of Clans is one of the Game that I wanted to play with Mods. So. I browsed the Apk of the XmodGames on Google, then later on, I've found one, and I downloaded it. But, while I'm installing it, the App can't seems to be installed in my Device, I don't know why, I don't know if it is because of my Rooted Device, because, you really need a Rooted Device to launch XmodGames. But, I tried installing it over and over again, but, all it says is "Application is not Installed". So, I've been thinking quite deep of how to get XmodGames to install on my Device. Then, I've got one, but, I didn't thought this would be my nightmare. I installed ES File Manager, then I enabled the Root Access or the Root Explorer. Then, I explored deep down into my Device's System, then in my App. Or, /system/app. In here, you could see a lot of Apk's of all of my User Apps and System Apps, such as Fb and many more. So, all in all, Apk's are all that contains inside of the App folder. So, what I did next is...... I copied the Apk File of the XmodGames..... then...... I pasted it inside the /system/app or in the App Folder. At first, when I got back to the Home Screen, I thought, the XmodGames would appear along my Applications, but it wasn't there. So, I thought of restarting my Device would solve my Problem so that the XmodGames would show up. So, here it goes, my nightmare. I, restarted my Device. From the moment that the Lock Screen showed, a notification in between popped out, saying, "Unfortunately, XmodGames has stopped". So, at first, I said, okay, this would be nothing. Then, I pressed okay, then the Notification went out. But, when I was swiping the Lock Screen, it wasn't working, because, it has been frozen. And I think, that the cause was the XmodGames. I can't even access the inside nor explore it. It just freezes, then after some meantime, it restarts back and pops the notification again. At that time, I felt so scared, scared that I think I've broken my Device. My heart felt depresssd and nervous and crying, I don't know what to do. This problem was so very different amongst the one I've fixed. But, I still kept thinking hard. What I could do to my Device is that, I could Switch it Off, Access the Recovery Mode, Access the Safe Mode, and Access the Download Mode. But, also, there is this one thing that I thought that I might be able to solve my Problem, and that is, by Formatting/Factory Reset through Recovery Mode. And so, I did that. But, I thought.... it was going to work. I thought it was going to wipe out all the Data and will Clean everything. But, when I got to the Lock Screen or the Introduction Set-Up. The notification was still there! The "Unfortunately, XmodGames has stopped" is still there. I thought it was over! Then, I felt more and more nervous. I don't know what to do, I am screwed. I was thinking of what I am going to the next, but. Damn... I really don't know. I am trying to flash it again with Odin with a New Firmware, but everything isn't working. The Odin takes too long, I don't know if it is working, I have downloaded so many Stock Rom and Firmwares, but, still no good. I don't know why. Damn! Right now, I am browsing some CWM to install next to my device, because I heard that it also have a lot features and advanced, other than a normal Recovery Mode. So, yeah... but... I don't know what to do.... Please, I hope you people can read this... I need help. I will appreciate all of your help and support. I just need to restore my Device back to normal and functioning again. Thank You. Please help me.
Totally fail to understand your long winded post .
Problem is what ??
TWRP has replaced CWM years ago .
Personaly I would flash Philz Refocery and format
System data cache etc.
Flash Twrp and install any custom rom youd like
Hey folks! Good to see yall again. Been a few years for me since I've had anything to contribute here.
This thread is meant to describe a problem.
So here's the scoop:
While trying to get a GPS spoofer to work, I happened down the inevitable must-root-path. Starting with a first gen ipod touch with a dope Halo theme, to my palm pre through my two samsung phones htc evo4g etc lmao its been a ride.
Seems like things have gotten slightly more challenging (or I've gotten too old to consider mundane crap easy....)
SO! TWRP loaded through adb+fastboot, then magisk patched current android 10 firmware.
Was that my issue? That's my guess.
Through the night I was trying to get a gps spoofer to copy to /system/priv-app/ and was struggling like hell. Plenty of reboots, plenty of uninstalling apps, etc. The last inputs I was trying to figure out are included in this album here
now i'm stuck in a bootloop that first starts at bootloader, then to google logo, then restarts, bootloader > google logo > bootloader > google loader
Please help!
I know the folks here are passionate and very helpful, if you need further info I will reply during after-blue-collar-work hours PST during the week.
I have tried to load in to fastboot, but can't connect to phone from adb without first enabling ptp or filesharing
Fixed, help no longer needed
Hi all,
As per title, did you have to unroot for work reasons or did you find a way around the issue?
It's basically starting to become more of a hassle than a luxury to keep root on my 7 pro currently given the ever more ability for some apps to detect root. If I had a choice I would stay rooted. I've done the whole hide, rename, etc, that typically hides detection, but to no avail. Safetynet is passing.
Basically i'm just wondering is it possible to create a work profile on the phone and completely hide root from it? I've tried, but root is still being detected, but it could be some step i'm missing. T.I.A.
Yeah, my company wouldn't let me even set up Slack with my bootloader unlocked. I've been wanting to try some of these Android 11 ROMs coming out, but I need Slack and other services to be alerted when I'm away from my laptop. It's a bummer.
