Desparate... need help with rooted ASUS Zenfone 2 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Usually I'm pretty good at figuring things out on my own but this one is killing me...
I rooted my ASUS Zenfone 2 using SuperSU246 then after tinkering for awhile I began getting a constant pop up saying "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." I tried a ton of methods I had seen online to resolve this problem but nothing worked so I chose my only available option, I restored my phone to factory settings but that was my mistake I believe. I read something online you shouldn't do a reset after you root your phone. But this message would keep popping up no matter how many times I dismissed it...
So after I did the reset the message popped up again and again after I dismissed it again and again so I tried to bear with it by hitting "OK" then quickly moving to the next step of the initial setup process BUT after the "Checking Info" segment it would always say "Couldn't Sign In..." followed by a short message prompting me to call customer service if the problem continues, and I couldn not move past this screen or go back.
Tried going into recovery and wiping the cache partition then doing another factory reset but I keep getting the same problem. Going on a week without my phone now... can anyone help me out? Has this happened to anyone else?

I would reinstall the original firmware and start over.

[Q] [ZTE-Nubia Z5S] Unfortunately, System UI has stopped.

I bought the Nubia Z5s a year ago when I was living in China for half a year. the phone worked fin for me until about last march. At that point the screen simply stopped working. I disregarded the phone for a while and started using my old HTC One X again.
About a month ago I ordered a new screen for the phone from china, and installed it. All went well, the phone turn on again nog problem. I turned the phone on for the first time last Sunday afternoon. Put the SIM card in on Monday morning at around 8 AM before I left for work (I did use the WiFi on Sunday to download apps and such).
At exactly the moment I turned on my SIM (phone and data) the phone gave an error message: "Unfortunately, SystemUI has stopped". It gives me the options OK and Report, but both options do not end the endless appearance of the message. After a few reboots, and switching back to Airplane mode I got the phone to work again. I then searched the internet, and it told me to delete my Cache Partition. Now I use Stock Mod (with google services) so I have no idea how to use CWM nor do I know how to boot this phone into recovery mode (tried a few combinations). So I just went into the Settings>Apps menu and started clearing specific app caches. That seemed to work, did not get the error again.
The next day, again around 8 AM the same thing happened. This time the message was more persistent, harder to get rid of. Took me a dozen reboots and connection top my laptop to clear the message. Wednesday, same thing happened, again around 8 AM. Tried updating to latest version of the software, worked for a day.
Yesterday (Thursday) again around 8 AM same message. This time it would not go away. tried for over 3 hours. Reboots, connecting to PC, the whole works. So I tried a factory reset (did not erase data) worked, again for a day. 8 AM this morgning (Friday). same error message. Not been able to get rid of it yet. So I am guessing there is some corrupt app or service running every day around 8 AM (not a big believer in coincidence ). Is there any way to find out what process is causing this error? Or does anybody know something else I can try?
EDIT: I am able to preform some actions on the phone between the OK clicking (about a tap/swipe per time)
Tried resetting phone with erasing phone data this time. Still didn't work. Now trying reset without installing Google Services Framework. Am trying to determine if the phone has a problem with my service provider.

Error, Unfortunately touchwiz home has stopped.

So after messing with this phone for the last few day I decided to do a full reset and wipe everything clean. I did so and after going through the set up process I couldn't get to the home screen. I just kept getting the error that touchwiz stopped. Luckily the restore loaded nova so I could get to the home screen to try and figure this out.
I tried everything from clearing data from the apps menu to booting into recovery and clearing cache. I Googled the error and found nothing I hadn't tried. I then did another master reset and it still won't load to touchwiz home.
Not sure what to do other than exchange the phone. Anyone have any idea?

Hey there,
I'm having the exact same issue and am BEYOND frustrated because usually I can find an answer on Google but it seems like no one seems to know what causes this, but many people have the problem. Did you happen to find a solution?
Brand new S6 Edge. Out of the box.
I've got this issue too.
Here's the steps I took.
No mobile connection as waiting for carrier to transfer account to new sim.
Connected to wifi.
Touched my S4 to the back to transfer accounts. Entered Samsung account details, requested restore.
Restore completes.
Set up finger print password.
Touchwiz has stopped error. Click OK. It repeats. again, and again.....
Power off, power on. Still get the touchwiz error.
Great out of the box experience. This is not good at all.
I don't know about the warranty in your country.
My advice is just reinstall the stock rom. It will clean all the problems.
My compromise so far...
The only way I've been able to use my phone so far in the last 12 hours since taking it out of the box is to set it up in "Easy Mode", which for a seasoned android user is not fun, but makes the phone usable. If not for that, I'm having the exact same problem with the error message and not being able to even get to my home page. Since turning my phone on I haven't seen my pages in standard mode yet. Hopefully I'll be able to contact someone today about this since I got the phone set up pretty late last night before noticing the error.

Device Secuirty: Unauthorised actions

Hi there fellow S6 edge owners.
my version of Samsung S6 Edge is Hong Kong's G9250, only got this phone two days, ago, I used to have an HTC One m7 and always rooted with custom roms, but seems like Samsung has done a great job this time, I am going to stick with stock rom for now.
Strange things happened to me after I purchase from the store and with the helpful staff from the samsung store helping me setting up this beauty. Not long later after I walk out of the store the Following message from Security Log pops up: "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes"
So I restart my phone, thinking it's no biggie, but the message would reoccur any time in between 30 to 2 hours, or when I am updating and installing apps as a new phone. I didn't transfer any old contents, nor having install any apk manually. The rom is stock as it can be.
So I factory reset it, and the same message would keep popping up, I scan my phone using the security app and no threats were found, but I had to restart my phone to make the notifications goes away, I start to suspect there might be something wrong with the rom itself or the kernel, so I decide to Factory reset it in under 6 hours of purchase, after booting on and signing in, the message would come up again!!
So I took it to the store, and asked them have they seen this? One of the manager said you need to cleared the app preferences and clear the credentials. I also updated the security policy myself. but still no luck. So they gave me a new one, with in 20 minutes of setting up, the message "Unauthorised actions have been detected. Restart your device to undo any unauthorised changes" Comes up again.
I am just wondering if any other is experiencing any similar issues? This is getting annoying.
same issue
Im having the same issue with Australian stock.
I too am having the same issue on Australian stock. :/
I'm having the exact same issue with Hong Kong stock. Tried everything from reinstalling to clearing the app preferences.
Has anyone found a solution to this annoyance? I don't like these notifications popping up every 5 minutes!!
If youre rooted, Use TitaniumBackup and freeze "SecurityLogAgent"
it'll get rid of those popups
Sent from my SM-G925V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Same problem
Norwegian Phone. Same problem. Notification every 5 min or so.

same problem here as well
So, I was faced with the same problem as you all above. I did a bit of research and speculate (I'm still not 100% on this) that this security bug is linked with the keyboard Samsung has preinstalled on the device. Try disabling it, using another keyboard, or just disconnecting it from any network it may use (mainly to update your dictionary regularly.)
What I did exactly:
-Reboot phone into recovery, wipe cache partition, factory reset.
-Start up phone, security threat came after a few minutes, before anything was installed.
-Restarted phone through security to reset kernel
-On startup, disabled keyboard and enabled swiftkey. Scanned, result: secure.
-Enabled keyboard, but disabled all features. No problems. Scanned, result: secure.
-Enabled features one by one, no problems yet. No problems. Scanned, result: secure.
-Reset keyboard settings. Scanned, result: secure. After a few minutes, security was triggered.
As I said, this may or may not be related, but this is the first time I've been seeing my phone as secured since I bought it.
I read somewhere that the problem is known.. and should be fixed in an update...if you are rooted you know what you have to do
Had the very same problem which disappeared with the update to 5.1.1. Have a couple of colleagues who suffered as well as the update cleared it up. Unfortunately from what I've read 5.1.1 kills the prospect of rooting without triggering Knox... Should have done more research before rushing to update...

"Unfortunately, Youtube has stopped working" SPAM

I started receiving this today. When I click "OK" the message bounces back up almost immediately, like a spam.
If I wait for 10-15 minutes and then press "OK" button, then I have maybe 5 seconds time window until message appears again.
Same happens when I click "Try to solve".
Earlier today I had a notification something like "Youtube app might harm your phone".
I tried restarting and plugging out battery, didn't help.
I didn't really bother with that since I own Lenovo k3 note with factory settings and I had adware for a long time. So I thought that was just a missinformation.
P.S. I'm not sure what exactly version of Android is currently installed on my phone and now I can't really check either...
Lenovo phone, says it all. Unfortunately Youtube is a system file on Lenovo so when it hangs you cannot access anything else.
Remove the battery and leave alone for roughly 5 minutes, this lets any caps to discharge so the phone has to restart from boot.
try starting the phone again, if this doesn't work, try doing a factory reset.

[Video] Cannot finish "android setup" on huawei p20 pro

Bought it new a couple of days ago. Its all running fine.
There just one thing in notifications that I can't complete... "Android setup" Basically it does a few things then gets to "adding the finishing touches" then gets stuck in this loop of restarting this part for about 2 mins until it stops amd dissapears until it pops up in notifications again.
I have tried clearing the cache and data of "android setup". Forced stop and restarted phone immediately after but doesn't help.
I realise it is not a major issue amd I could probably disable the notification for this but I would like to see it complete. Any ideas?
I imagine it may be tied to some other processes or something that may also need attention.
The phones firmware is fully up to date btw.
PS have just realised i am not allowed to post my link unfortunately. Maybe can message me for it.
