Well, you are supposed to post stuff like this in the Q&A forum, that's why you have to post 10 times. To learn the structure.
You could try to clear data for play services and the play store app and see if that works. If not, I suggest that you try to flash some other gapps package.
Maybe one of these:

Welcome to the family.. Just go and find 10 other things that you are curious about and reply to those.

Kinda hard. Nothing make sense here so many advanced stuff.

same here, have to download the nightly through browser

the cmupdater has not been working since i started with 403. download through pc or browser

try cyandelta

Just go through the browser. What I did and no problem.

So just download the new nightly and reflash?
Do I need to wipe cache or something?
What if I want to go from nightly to stable or M, then I need to wipe?
Thanks for the help

I've always wiped when updating, after a backup of course!

No, just flash the update zip. (That's called a dirty flash in case you didn't know)
If you use custom kernels, flashed mods or custom system apps, they might have to be reinstalled. You also need to reinstall Xposed Framework from the app if you use that.
But remember to back up your phone in recovery before you update!

Okay thanks. 3 last questions (I hope).
I got cm-11-20140410-NIGHTLY
And yesterday released cm-11-20140411-NIGHTLY
Is this an update? Or a completely new nightly? sorry for all the ignorance, I'm totally new to this and android
2. Should I use old M builds or new nightlys? Which one Is more stable
3. If I want to flash M build and I'm currently using nightly, there is a different way or something special I need to do?

If you're going from an m build to a nightly, or any other variation (stable to m, etc) then wipe data and cache. Every nightly can be flashed on top of itself. There are more specific things to be said but I'll leave it at that so you don't get yourself bootlooped.
Make sure you make a nandroid before you do anything (I.e. a backup in custom recovery) and it would be a good idea to put that on your pc. Also a good idea to have the files and setup ready to flash your phone back to factory with kdz or tot--that way if you do something boneheaded you won't be in as much of a panic. It definitely wouldn't hurt to have some experience with adb ahead of time--just in case.
If none of that makes sense I'd wait a bit before flashing (though you could go for it and probably make out fine).

- nandroid BackUP - Check. i learned how importent and how lucky to do a nandroid backup when i flashed yesterday the cm. bricked my phone 2 times, thanks to nandroid backup didnt need to flash stock.
- stock KDZ - Check. including flashing tool and all that.
what do you prefer, nightly or M? the nightly can go rough just like that in the middle of everything?

CM9 help? PLEASE!

I have been trying since yesterday evening to install the CM9 nightly build. I've read through every single post in the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778170 ) and I still can't seem to do it. I've flashed a few ROMs in the past with no issues, but for some reason this one is not making any sense. Maybe it's a good thing because I've learned so much and had my heart drop a few times thinking my phone is ruined. My issue seems to be with my version of CWM I guess? The first step of the instructions says to: 1. Install ClockworkMod Recovery for "quincyatt".
I don't understand this. I click on the link in the thread and the CWM file is a .img file, so I don't understand how to flash it to my phone. I've downloaded ROM manager (and paid for the premium version) and flashed the newest version through there. When I do that, it completely messes up CWM and keeps giving me errors anytime I try to install any ROM. It freezes on most things I do, keeps giving cache errors, etc. It seems like there's an issue with flashing the newest version through ROM manager. So how do I get CM9 on my phone? Do I need to update CWM someway? I currently have the version in the CWM thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1584576 ) with the latest release 04-14. If someone can please give me an explanation for what I'm missing here, that would help greatly. I've been on this forum for a few years and always read and search. I actually just made my first post yesterday to help someone when I was encountering the same issue with CWM that they were and finally figured it out after hours of reading.
THANK YOU!

Try using TWRP recovery. I believe it flashes successfully.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1647575
It is a zip not a. Img i just clicked it myself. Dont use the stock browser. Download dolphon browser hd. And click the link. The zip file you download is there. Flash it in cwm recovery. Easy easy stuff.
Download rom manager from the market. From within the app you can install CWM. This is what the post means.
Oops, sorry didn't read your whole post at first.
I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was purchase the touch recovery upgrade from within rom manager and that fixed my problems. If you have $2 to spare give it a shot. Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. I finally got it to work with TWRP. Now of course when it loads up everywhere I click I get an error saying 'Unfortunately, the process android.process.acore has stopped. :laugh: Here we go again.
Do what i said in my post above. Make sure to wipe data cache and dalvik cache in CWM recovery. Or dont listen and continue to enjoy the issues. Also dont use rom manager. Its more problems then its worth. Good luck
Thank you, I appreciate your help. Well I figured out how to get that error to stop. Now just need to figure out how to get all my contacts on here that were only saved on my SIM and I'll be good to go. This was a really good learning experience. I'm really liking TWRP
Do yourself a favor and put all contacts on your Gmail account. You can enter them on a PC quickly. Just be sure to always select your Gmail account to sync.
Another option is to use Titanium Back Up and restore the contacts once moving to a new ROM.

Thanks, I synced them all to Gmail. Much faster now! Finally got it all up and running. Just a question about using the 'touch key notification lights' Does this kill the battery? It seems like it stays on until you read your text, so if you get one while asleep those lights just stay on?
Use bln app from market and uncheck in system settings. You can set that to turn off whenever you'd like

Galaxy note I717 Help Please

Hi everyone I need some help and I'll appreciate if you could spend some time and respond to my questions,I just bought a new i717 Noter from At&t and I followed to the ROOT instructions here and installed the custom ROM "Seraphim - Mesosphere - REMIX!" by Collective .
I am having following issues, I didn't have the GAPPS after I installed the ROM but I just installed the GAPPS and I downloaded some games and apps and I am getting a lot of crashes. For EX. the app Draw something was working fine when first installed but after few times using it now when I am touching to open it loads and says "Unfortunately, Draw some has stopped" , Gogle navigation crashes when I am touching "speak to destination" again app stops working. and more apps like viber...
Please give me your thoughts what I did wrong and what did I miss? can Anyone please recommend me a stable ROM to install on my i717 Note?
Thank you
Just do a factory reset and start fresh. Install gapps, then test them out. Then install your most favorite game, and test it out, etc.
To effectively troubleshoot, you have to start from a known good state, and work until you get the error.
Thank you for your reply rangercaptain.

Ranger got it ..
You have the classic signs of data corruption , from items being restored to the device from a previous rom.
As ranger said ....a fresh start should correct the issues.
And one additional item you should try...
When you get done flashing the new build and the gapps....do a "wipe data, factory reset" from within your recovery prior too your first boot cycle.
This will ensure that no old data is present upon first boot, and no older data will be written to the system or dalvik cache on boot.
Additionally , do "NOT" restore any previous apps that contain data...just download the apps fresh from the play store.....IMHO .g
Edit : we are here if you need further help, and again, welcome to XDA ....g
Thank you Greg! thanks a lot for your help guys!
Just want to make sure before doing anything , Greg you said I should do "wipe data, factory rest" , just have a question do I do that booting to recovery?. I have done something stupid I did not back up my original ROM before I installed this custom ROM, Please recommend me a good stable ROM to install .
Thanks

Factory reset is done from recovery. It wipes all installed apps and any data you accumulated. When that's completed, flash your rom.
Let it boot and settle in for several minutes, then sign into your google account.
Then go back and install gapps, then your apps from the market, and test each one.
Thanks a lot Ranger ! I will do as you said and post the results. Just a question before I do anything , you said "Let it boot and settle in for several minutes, then sign into your google account. " How do I sign in to my google account before installing GAPPS?
Thanks

Extremely Slow(Unresponsive)

I had The Avatar JB ROM installed on my phone. And I flashed Cyanogenmod and as soon as I did my phone turned extremely slow. So slow that I can't do anything the phone turns on and loads to the main screen but as soon as I touch any key or app it does nothing, it froze. I tried flashing the Stock ROM with Odin and same result. I also formated the internal SD card. and nothing. Anyone can help?

not to be snotty or rude, but you need to figure it out to get help
10.1 or 10.2
but REALLYNOW is right. there is no "STABLE" attached to any build.
have you eve got file for our phone???
When you move to a different OS you don't just "do the usual wipes". You format the system partition and the data partition as well. Otherwise you end up with buttloads of errors.
Go into recovery and find the steps I described and do them. Then reinstall CM. Don't restore old apps - let the market install the updated versions to avoid conflicts.

If you go to cm's website and look at our phone you will see that the OP is correct.There is a 10.1.2 that is listed as stable. Its the sixth one down on the page here http://get.cm/?device=quincyatt
The phone is working again. It didn't worked with the stock GB ROM nor the ICS T-Mobile ROM. But when I flashed the AT&T ICS stock ROM the phone started working again. And currently is running Cyanogenmod 10.1.2.

Howdy back, Bubbajoe. I'm glad for the chance to increase your phone's vocabulary.
Hey OP, no offense intended. I always did "the usual wipes" between roms, but when I moved to CM I had to do the formatting. Its because all the other roms are based on stock roms and have similar file structures, but CM is different.

[Q]Help with experimental cm11 please...

Hi everyone. This is my first post...anyways, been playing around with a gt-i9100 and have flashed many ROMs successfully. The latest (and best) being slim saber. I THOUGHT it was soooo easy! Haha! Wrong! Recently flashed the experimental cm11. Did the customary cwm backup, wiped cacheband partition, formatted, and wiped dalvik. Installed and Booted up fine. From reading that thread I'm experiencing the same common problems. The two worst are the battery level is out of whack and cwm can't read the SD card or micro SD. Smaller problems include can't adjust screen brightness and any apps on SD get deleted after reboot. Other smaller issues also. The overall speed is great and battery life is better than 4.3 ROMs.
Now, the real problem...because cwm can't read SD, I can't go reinstall my backup, which was my plan. Unable to flash new because downloads also go to sd, which is unreadable. Performed a backup of the current rom and its going to the phone memory. Is there anyway to move my nanadroid backup or new ROM there so cwm can see it and I can flash or any other suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

LOL - I forgot!! I think there is a tar file for 4.1 - use that, or use latest dori (either 8.43 or 9.43) it doesn't matter which because you will be re installing your back up which will have its own recovery img.
Hope this helps :cyclops:

use odin to flash tar and then install and older rom which is functional with the sdcard. and then flash back your backups.

Samsung S5 Resurrection Rom Camera Not Working

Hey guys, Been having issues with my camera and custom roms, I tried to install Cyanogenmod a while back and it had issues then but I just uninstalled it thinking it was the rom, But now that I have tried to flash roms 3 different times with the same issue I am stumped on what this is, The camera refuses to register on the device, the camera app itself just straight up crashes, no other app can detect the camera either, Anyone know any way to fix this? Ive tried taking the battery out for 5 minutes then rebooting, Clearing the data and cache etc etc. I have no idea what to do. I really appreciate any help possible.
Oh forgot to say I tried safemode too.
Any help would be really appreciated thanks!
Could be the Gapps you are using. Some remove the stock camera and replace it with the Google camera and it doesn't work right. Please list which variant of the S5 you are using, which RR update and which Gapps for further assistance.

ResurrectionRemix-M-v5.7.1-20160712-kltedv Am on the S5 900I, Could it be the Gapps? I tried out other applications like facebook and another camera app which its not detecting the camera at all on that either, and I am using "BaNkS-Dynamic-GApps-6.x.x-10-20-15"
It's either that or the kernel. Now that I am thinking about it, it is probably kernel related since you have a Korean variant and it's a bit different than the US and EU ones. You can try the Open Gapps version to check though. If not that, you might have to see if there is a custom kernel for CM13 based roms that support the L variant or try another rom. Also, make sure you are on the correct bootloader and modem for whatever rom you are trying for best results. The developer should mention if you need something specific.

Im on the Australia phone by the way, And how do I find the Kernal specifics I was looking and couldnt find it on the site, I couldnt find any specifics.
Ohhh...I thought it said 900L. That makes a HUGE difference. lol Anyway, if the Gapps don't help, wipe cache and dalvik cache and flash this https://www.dropbox.com/sh/3z7nwwq7.../boeffla-kernel-3.0 stable_RR-kltexx.zip?dl=0
Recommend making a backup of boot first, just in case.

No worries. I've done this so many times I can do it in my sleep. lol You would want to wipe system, dalvik cache, and cache and reflash the rom and new Gapps. I'd almost bet it's the kernel though because I think they typically make the roms for the 900F and just change some stuff to get them to boot on other variants. Either way, you won't need to wipe data, so won't hurt to try. Will just take some time as it goes through and optimizes the apps each time you wipe the caches.

If it is the kernel where would I go about getting another, I couldnt find anything similar to this what we are talking about.

When specifically do I flash the Kernel file, I have wiped the system data and cache, Do I flash the rom then the kernal then the gapps?

Hmm. Well, I'd try the Gapps then. Open Gapps > ARM > 6.0 > Pico
Wipe system, cache, dalvik. Flash rom then Gapps. Then test. If not still, then I would wipe caches again and try the kernel one more time. If still not working then that rom just isn't gonna work for you.

Still not working :/ Its weird the rom is specifically ment for the 900I I believe when I got it so I dont know whats wrong with it, Same thing happened with Cyanogenmod 13 too. I found someone having the exact same problem that I am having on here http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2521961 At the bottom someone mentions what the exact cause is but not a fix
I was thinking updating the stock firmware might help but didn't help that other guy.
The only way to figure it out at this point would be to do a logcat and post it on put it on pastebin and provide a link on the RR thread so someone cam help troubleshoot the error.
