Hi,
I'm currently using a Nexus 7 (2012 model) running Android Jelly Bean 4.3. I've been having a strange issue where the Google Play app keeps saying there is no connection. This has also occurred in the Youtube app. I have tried changing my time manually, rebooting my device, and uninstalling updates, to no avail. I am currently unlocked and rooted, and using TWRP as my recovery. What can I do to fix this problem?
Update
So after a painful night of trying to fix this problem by myself, I tried installing a custom rom: Liquid Smooth. When I installed it, Google Play and Youtube seemed to work just fine. At work today though, both apps failed on me again. This proves that it isn't my connection at home. Could it be my Google account? May I please get some help with this problem?
I ve had this one time before... I dont know for shure from where its comming (must be something with the framework) but i do know that the only thing helped that helped me was reinstall official firmware, root it again and install philz recovery...
Do a full wipe and install ROM once again....

I unrooted and re-rooted my ROM, flashed Philz Recovery and LiquidSmooth, and I'm experimenting with each app I install. I think the problem may have been with either XPrivacy or Freedom with Market Unlocker Pro. In any case, I have uninstalled all 3 of these apps.

Well, turns out it was Market Unlocker Pro which caused the problem, as I haven't gotten this issue in the past few days

Hi,
I'v been having trouble with play store/market since I rooted my phone.
I tried CM7 before and it did not work there ether. It did not exist from the beginning. Now I use CM9 and have installed it with apk but it crashes on start up. I see "Loading..." in less then one sec before it crashes. Have anyone experienced this before or can someone tell me which exact version of market/play store works (maybe link me to where I can download it).
Thankful for any help and CM9 rocks.
you have to flash it in recovery

What's really strange is when I flashed zeubeas beta0 I had the play store already installed before installing any gapps. I have never had any issues with the play store.
Try rebooting into clockwork mod recovery, flashing gapps again don't reboot, then delete dalvik cache, I think its the the advanced menu. Now reboot wait till phone boots, you should not get boot loops with this method as this is how I've always flashed all the zeubeas alpha and beta roms with no issue, also very important, check the zip files to make sure they are compleat and error free.

i think this is because new versions of the play store that are updated in the background go onto the /data partition which isn't affected by flashing a rom update...
How did you solve it?
thanks
This page is blank. What needed to be flashed in recovery.

I am having the same problem that the OP is having.
So I really need to flash with ODIN? If so, what? a new kernel? ROM?
I think you need to install gapps for your rom.
Hi,
I am rooted on my S3 and all is good. However, my Father also has an S3 and last week he was talked into rooting it by his Grandson. All went well but long story short he was not happy with having a rooted phone so has decided to remove root. He has now done so by following various guides. He used Triangle away which he says went successfully and has used Odin to put the latest stock firmware on the phone which again he says went successfully. I was not there when he did all this but phone seems all good.
Except one thing. He has tried to install a couple of apps he had before rooting. Barclays bank app and Sky Go app. After installation these apps are saying they will not work on a rooted phone, but it's not rooted any more. I have booted into recovery using Volume down, power and home buttons and it says custom firmware / rom, I can't remember exact wording, but it says no. Also in the phone menu where a rooted phone says modified in device status it says normal or whatever it should say. Again can't remember exactly but all looks like no root present.
Anyone got any ideas on this? As I am rooted on my S3 and never un-rooted it yet, I do not know if he should have done something else. Will he have to root again to run triangle away or anything else. Or can this be fixed as the phone is at present?
Thanks for any help guys.
Cheers, Rich

Hi,
My father did the factory reset today and it wiped his phone and he went through the new set up. However he still can't install some apps as they are still saying they do not support rooted devices. I just can't figure it out. Any ideas please guys. Thanks

One basic question..are you still able to go into recovery..vol up+power+home..if yes you are still rooted...you need to find your stock firmware and flash it via odin
check if it was a stock firmware your father flashed orcustom ROM o.follow this guide to do it again

Hi,
Just tried that and the S3 will not go into recovery via volume up, power and home. Tried several times and it just powers up as normal. He has just tried his banking app and it's telling him the phone is rooted. I'm stumped on what to do.
Cheers, Rich
Sounds like maybe triangle away didnt properly remove the count, was the firmware he downloaded the official one for his phone? Was it previously branded or anything like that?
go supersu and click remove root

Hi,
He has superSu on the phone. Presumably it has downloaded from the play store when restoring the phone. However, he tried to uninstall it which just removed the updates. Couldn't go any further. It is now asking for updates which he has done. But when he tries to launch Super SU it says no apps configured and won't go any further. I think the fact that super su is on the phone, the apps are thinking it is rooted. I am doing this all over the phone so can't see what's happening.
I'm wondering if the way to go now would be another factory reset and when restoring everything, try not to let play store instal super su. Would this be the way to go, or can we get super su off the phone without a reset?
Cheers, Rich
Try uninstalling super su with titanium backup. Then factory reset. Are you sure you have flashed a stock ROM and not a rooted one. This doesnt sound right.

Why not try reflashing again with original firmware via odin.

Didn't know there was something like that. Now I am on stock and un-rooted. I can still go into the recovery by pressing vol up+power+home keys.
Hi,
Trying to do these things with him over the phone ain't easy. I may just go and get the phone and do it myself.
He does have supersu on the phone and it is working, well it's installed anyway but obviously does not do the root things as the phone is un-rooted. There is an option in supersu settings to remove root but will this work as the phone is not rooted? Question is how on earth do I remove supersu. Do i need to re-root and remove it that way?

Can't uninstall via Titanium backup as he is no longer rooted unless he roots the phone again. It is a stock rom. It was downloaded via the official rom thread on here.

Hello.
My friend has an i9300 with stock 4.1.2 firmware.
Today he told me his Play store didn't work. When he tried to download an app, after he pushed on the download button, the play store app just restarted itself and went back to the main screen, so it was not possible to download anything.
I went into the app info of the play store, and deleted all data and cache data, without success. The version was 3.10.10 and there was an "uninstall updates" option, so I thought it might be some broken update that caused the problem, so I tried to uninstall updates. Then the version went back to 3.9.16, and since then the app won't even start (crash to home screen).
Is there any way to reinstall the play store? or do I need to flash a new ROM?
Since I am a total noob when it comes to that particular device, please bear with me. Thanks.

No...you dont need to root or install recovery to flash the stock rom over the current rom

I flashed the stock 4.1.2 and a new modem that I found on here to my phone. Ever since then whenever I open the su app it says that the su binary doesn't exist. Problem is I tried to flash the newest binary and it didn't do anything. I also tried to flash using Odin and it messed up the rom. I can't figure out how to get su working again. Can someone help me?

I had similiar issues. It seems others have had the same issue too. If you have installed superuser by ChainsDD then go to the play store and install Superuser by ClockworkMod. Then remove the ChainsDD version. If you have the ClockworkMod version installed and not working then install the ChainsDD version. Worked for me.
Something finicky about this 4.1.2 ROM. Modems and Superuser don't install properly and have to be installed twice.
Edit....supersu by chainfire is actually the version i am using now.
Well op.... what exactly did you flash?
If you flashed stock...and not a prerooted package, you're not rooted. Which is why there's no su binary.
Also, how did you try to root with Odin? If you used an old gingerbread method of flashing a kernel...that would indeed mess up the Rom.

after a million try's I found out how to fix the problem some of the people here give bits of the real way to deal with the un able to start supersu... fist thing use odin to flash philz 15. whatever file that you seen in the thread ( after clean catch and davik and factory reset) then flash the new 4.3 custom rom onto your note 2. Reboot your phone !!!! wen setting up your phone DO NOT set up your google e-mail account when it asks you. Just "skip" everything. NOTE... after you setup the language install from scratch you can always link your google account after everything i tell you to do and phone gets the superSU premissons... okay onto the last step do not open supersu, go to google playstore type in supersu and update it then turn off your phone without opening supersu then boot if everything is back to normal by checking get root checker witch can be downloaded from the app store... btw it was funny how one person said they were afraid of bricking there phone LOL its impossible to brick your phone unless your as brainless as him.. the main problem with jellybean 4.3 and your google account is that it blocks any programs like supersu from before your even able to start your phone. by not sync'ing the google account with your phone it allows supersu to install without GOOGLE blocking it... btw make sure you wipe all catch and select the option clear to flash new rom in philz recovery... one good luck guys this fix took me about 200 trys and 12 hours but its yours now...
Stock rom version 80120E is the latest one. Everybody should get it if possible. In addition to the above updates the lockscreen displays full screen album art from Google play music app. I've experienced far less frequent playback errors also.

I second this. Just received the update today but I'm hesitant to install it. I still have stock recovery but I am rooted. Don't want to mess anything up. So if anyone who's rooted installed the update without problems let me know!

I'm rooted but I have custom recovery on mine (TWRP) and it was Hell... HELL! It took me 7 hours throughout the whole night to recover it, it was going back to TWRP every single time. But searching here in this fine website paid off! I'm not going to touch any OTA until I know more on how to prevent that again.
I had a similar experience when I upgraded to KitKat. Lost so much including pictures and videos that couldn't be replaced or recovered. Took hours just to get my phone working again. Never want to go through that again!

I was rooted and installed the uodate. I lost root and so far no chance of direct rooting. Good thing is that now we can choose runtime option, either dalvik or art.

Cool Confirmed, it worked for me as well, through the LG Support tool. Never taking it OTA ever again. :silly: And yes, I lost root as well and I've used towelroot before. I'm not sure if I'll install a custom recovery any time soon. Nearly bricked my LG G2 enough times already. :silly:

Have you tried using towelroot? From what I read it seems to work fine. I hope it does at least. I can live without knock code, but not having root would be a problem.
