what's wrong?

Google services don't work..

I am stuck in setup process at screen that says google play services has stopped. I can't get into setting screen to enable usb debugging and now my pc won't open explorer to view files so I can drag anther file on to flash. I am stuck can anyone point me in the direction of what do next?
I can get into TWRP, but there's no way for me add a file to flash.

Solution: don't use a ZIP
Fastboot straight from Google like it was intended to be installed. Zero issues, all apps downloading and not a single force close. Everything that works works.

i already installed this and wow its amazing so far so good not single error...

Flashing this the correct way (fastboot w/ Google's hosted images), is there a valid way to get root? I thought SuperSU v2.14 was supposed to be it but it didn't do the trick for me.

Restore your phone with a factory image should resolve your issue. Dont know why you face it.

If you used the zip file, I know, it's a bug i can't fix. Seems to be related to java but dont know.

Has anyone converted a user app to system? I would assume if I move this folder and set permissions.. It would work.... Right?

twrp - can't install this package on top of incompatible data

i have followed all the steps using NRT to unlock boot-loader and root the phone.
Installed TWRT manager and flashed the recovery.
Now i am trying to flash CM12 for the first time and stuck with error message "can't install this package on top of incompatible data" during flashing .
downloaded the following flash zip from CM website: cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip (281.77 MB)
Can any one help me what needs to be done to proceed further.

i didnt wipe the data before. Now its working and closing the thread

I wiped everything on my phone via TWRP. Still getting this error!

This topic is old but in case someone else gets here I got a solution - Change /data partition filesystem to ext4 or other supported by ROM

In twrp, I had to fumble around to find advance wipe to clear data but worked like charm after that.

xiaomi note 4g dior
Let me tell my story,
My friend gave me an old xiaomi note 4g which was stuck at the MI icon on boot,
Luckily the phone did not lock boot-loader
So I use xiaomi flash rom to flash global room , it worked after i tried sometimes.
Then I booted to the phone, and other problem came, the phone was linked with an Mi Account , and my friend forgot everything about it
not email, no phone number
I did a search and they said the only way to bypass the MiAccount is using a Resurrection ROM or balallala
so I ended up with using
1. fastboot to install twrp
2. open twrp --> open adb sideload mode.
3. Open window command line and install Resurrection ROM though adb sideload
While installing rom though adb slideload , i got the same issue with topic
SO i cleared data and tried again,
IT WORKED , NO MORE ****ING MiAccount
THANK a lot

Hi
Playing with my wife's Nexus 5, bootloader unlocked, rooted, and latest TWRP installed but when trying to flash from android 6.0.1 to Lineage, I'm getting an error 7 image shown I hope.....
Is this just because I haven't wiped the data first ? (I'm fairly sure but...)
I dont dare try 'cause if it's not that she'll kill me, so would like to be sure before I wipe all her data..
Thanks
Update, it was that I just wiped all except the SD and flashed, all is just great

pls help

I have had the same issue with TWRP. While I cannot find any cause for it, a reboot (or more than one) into recovery seems to eventually result in the actual files being shown. This is even more of an issue if installing the .img and needing to then install a .zip. It can take a couple times. Strange, this has only happened with my wife's Pixel and not my XL but that may just be luck. Did not have this issue with Apha 2, only RC1.

It's because the data on your Pixel is encrypted AND TWRP can't decrypt at that time for some reasons. Keep rebooting it until it can successfully decrypt.

Don't know what to advise you further since it happens to all of us. I would only provide suggestions on issues that I myself came across. I can only relay my experience (Verizon). I use TWRP RC1. It happens to me whether or not I have my device passworded. It happens to me more often when I change boot slot. In other words, if I go to Reboot, change slot, and reboot, I would get that situation. But if, from inside TWRP, I power off the phone, then I can get a successful decryption pretty much 95% of the time. It seems like a programmatic timing issue to me. From my app development experience, sometimes if task B gets executed before task A because of driver issues or timing issues, I'd get undesired results (not unexpected, just undesired).

Are you doing a full reboot or just rebooting Recovery? I find it often have to do a full reboot for it to pick it up sometimes.

Try changing your lock screen method (in the os) to something else. I use a pattern and have had no trouble getting twrp to prompt me for it.

try to reboot recovery and system will work, I have encountered same issue.

had this issue the other day when updating to the January build. while in your current rom delete the twrp folder within your internal storage. next time you restart into TWRP, it will prompt you to enter the decryption password

Or use an external USB drive and bypass the entire decryption problem altogether.

use SD card or use OTG cable with pendrive and put file their and select OTG directory from twrp.

[Completed] [OP3] After couple ROM change test my phone is unusable, HELP PLEASE !

Hello everyone,
I currently have a Oneplus 3 which is completly unusable and I'm asking for your help to make it working again.
Until yesterday I used OxygenOs 4.0.2 ROM and it was about a moment I was thinking about changing my OS for the LineageOS ROM on Android 7.1.1 .I already did in the past this kind of changement on my nexus 5 for CM 13.0 .
So, I prepared all the files I needed (TWRP, ROM, Gapps etc...) and compared a lot of similar tutorial for being able to do it perfectly and being sure everything will work fine.
Firstly, I unlocked my bootloader though my PC and installed TWRP whithout any problems.
After that, I started the flash of the ROM and the Gapps zip packs. Everything worked and I launched the OS for checking if everything work.
I also wanted to ROOT my phone so I rebooted it and went to recovery again for flashing the ROOT zip from the LineageOS website and I picked the ARM64 one because I saw on internet it was the one needed.
After that, when I reboot the phone onto the system I have to make a "reconfiguration process" on this kind of way : Choose language --> Restore from zero --> Choose network --> Google account.
But, after filed my google account information I was normally able to receive a text for the double checked of my account but never it never came and the configuration is finally unsuccessfull because IMPOSSIBLE to skip the "network" or "google account" step.
I also tried to connect my phone on an other google account without the double checked option and it doesn't work too with this king of alert : " The process doesn't work due to an unknow error. Try again in 24 hours " .
I concluded that the problem come from the ROOT ZIP file, so I put my phone again in recovery and I do a " wipe / factory reset " for doing the exact same process from the begining (installing ROM) until root with this time the ARM ROOT ZIP.
Finally, I got the exact same result with the Google Account problem.
I choosed to do the complete process a third time with this time the SuperSu v2.79 ZIP file .... Result still the same.
Finally, I stoped trying to root my phone and I did again a "Wipe / factory reset" for just installing LineageOS and the Gapps pack. And I was suprised to see that the same problem continue to happen ! I wipe the phone and did again and again and again.
But, after all of that I choosed to do it on an other way. I saw on internet that " format data" through TWRP could be a solution for cleaning everything and start from zero. I did it and the process failed ....
From this point, I am with a phone which can't do anything and which saying that's impossible for it to "mount data" and other but I prefer to show that part on pictures. I think it'll be better for understanding (Excuse me for the pink because my HTC One M7 spare phone) :
Above there are the information that TWRP give me when I start it :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
On an other hand, the phone is recognize by the computer just as a multimedia device and it's impossible to write on its memory or just having access on it :
I hope I was the most clear as I could and hoping as well for an existing solution for my issue (in better case with LineageOS on it with root working ! But I don't want to ask to much !).
Also, I am french and I apologize for my english if it can be weak sometimes.
Thank you in advance. I'll allways available if you need further information.
PS: Since my bootloader is unlocked I have these both pages when the phone boot (Picture 1 and 2) which normally permit me to boot onto the system, recovery, fastboot etc .... (Picture 3) but in reality there is NOTHING happening and I always have to do it on the classic way if I want to boot on recovery or fastboot (hold power button + ..... etc...) :

Pokemon Go no longer working after Android 8.0 Oreo OTA Firmware update

Hello,
I hope someone here is able to help me with this as I've searched Google for days now and haven't found anything that works. I have the S8+ (SM-G955W) and have been playing Pokemon Go since its release. After I received , downloaded and installed Android 8.0 update OTA however, this game no longer allows me to play it. When I open the game, I receive an error message "This device, OS, or software is not compatible with Pokemon Go". It worked perfectly before the Oreo update. This phone has never been modified in any way before; never rooted and uses stock firmware. It passes SafetyNet check with no problems.
Troubleshooting attempted:
I tried lowering my phone's resolution which allowed me to sign in successfully twice, but then the error persisted.
I uninstalled and re-installed the app countless times along with full reboots.
I attempted installing the game from the .apk file from apkmirrors however this does not fix the issue.
App is fully up to date, as is firmware.
It's strange because, as far as I can tell, many users play the game successfully on the S8+ as well as on Android 8.0. I can sign in successfully maybe once (if I'm lucky) after a fresh installation from the apk, but then after about 10 minutes, the app closes itself (App has to close error) then it gives me the Compatibility error once again following that. Please let me know what I can do, I am out of ideas.
Thank you

Hmm...well if that's what it takes, I'll do it. Could you tell me what the best method is to make a backup before I perform the factory reset? Preferably a method that backs up everything (including setting customization, all applications and their save data, etc. if possible)?

Uninstall old apps such as Xposed installer

hello
the only way I found is factory reset
if I restore smart switch backup, pokemon go fail again

just bought an S9 plus and pokemon go does not work on it. Says OS not supported.

Same here. It's start and after 30 sec kicking out... with that message using magisk

Update?
Any updates on this if the wipe actually fixes it permanently or temporarily? I have a SM-G955U1 directly from Samsung, unlocked but software built for Verizon from Samsung.

Hi vgplayer54,
I had the same problem with an Asus Zenfone2 with Android 5.0, This week I have changed my mobile phone to the new One Plus 6 and I'm still having the same issues. Did you solve the problem?
Thx

I found that the issue was app permissions were disabled for storage. Once enabled the app opens and functions correctly.
Apps -> Pokemon Go -> Permissions -> Storage ( if disabled enable)
Permissions for Camera, Contacts, Location, and Storage should all be enabled.
