Like the title states, I have a Tmobile Note 7, was forced into the crippling update and successfully downgraded back to API4 software. All is well except I get a whole bunch of crashes such as the Google services, framework, and other random processes. I also have installed Package disable pro to prevent future forced updates and I know it isnt the cause of the crashes since they were happening prior to me installing them.
My second issue is Samsung Pay. I honestly didnt think I would use/rely on it as much as I did and now that it is gone, I am truly missing it. It is odd since KNOX is not tripped but I am still getting "Access Denied : Unauthorized modifications have been made to the device". This is factory software and in my eyes shouldn't cause any issues since KNOX is still intact and I haven't rooted the phone.
My question is what is the difference of my phone and one that never updated in the first place and would be on the same software and have everything intact?? Trying to find of path of getting everyhting truly 100% again..
Thanks!

Maybe you should try to doa clean reinstall, erase data everything, and see if it fixes the crashes. I restored to original firmware after the cumbersome update nd now my phone charges plus 60% and no crashes ir glitches. I didn't do a factory restore though. I didn't need to cause everything is working fine.

Thanks for the reply. I have confirmed that others have successfully downgraded like us with no crashes and then manually updated the Samsung Pay app with an APK that was uploaded and all is functioning like normal. Will do a clean reinstall and report back.
If it doesn't work, I've had success with Samsung pay using the tutorials i found in the Facebook group i tagged in my signature

Hi guys,
I am currently experiencing a frustrating issue with my android device and I am stumped at how to fix it.
The device in question is a Dynavin car stereo that runs the Android platform.
I have updated the ROMS and even roll backed to older versions but this issue persists. I am now using a totally modified ROM created by a user on here for my device.

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My issue is, every 5 or 6 boot ups of my device all my settings seem to revert to default. Well not "all" but I will explain in further detail.
When my issue arises, google maps/navigation/mail will not load, it will crash and go back to the home screen.
Google PLAY will revert to Google Market, when I log into market, it will update all google programs.
Once updated, maps/navigation/mail all work perfectly fine.
My installed programs are unaffected to the extent that they do not need updating, however, all their settings which I adjust, revert back to normal, all the dialogue boxes return, its like as if I'm running the program for the first time again.
Does anyone know what the issue could be and how to fix it? It doesnt happen all the time with every boot up but it does happen quite frequently.
When there is no issue, the system works fine and requires no updates etc.
I feel it may be something to do with the ROM? Should files be moved to the memory card to preserve certain settings? But if I do that, how will Android know where to find these files?
Any ideas, support would be greatly appreciated!
Just a suggestion, if you are flashing ROM I asume you have root access. Titanium backup and link2sd will allow you to freeze market updater (system apk) and this should prevent you from receiving market updates.

mm, dont think the device has root access.
It can be flashed by just inserting a updated ROM on a memory card which picks it up on boot up.
I may try and install something for root access and try what you have mentioned.
Everytime I reboot, this "app" comes up. I have no idea what it is, but I know it wants me to call cust care...how do I disable this?
If you've never noticed it before or it seems suspect I would scan it with whatever anti virus app you got and uninstall it. I use App Master, you get rid of suspect "system" apps and it can put it in a recycling bin in case you want to reinstall it later.

still happening...confused.
Self service is a system app. You can't normally get to it to run it. Disabling it might stop something from working that the phone needs. When I freeze apps on a fresh install, I don't do that one. I don't know what it does. Under normal conditions, you shouldn't be seeing that app running at boot. Something might be borked with the phone to cause that app to run, and you see it, at startup. I know it's an extreme reaction, but if it were me, and it was really getting on my nerves, I'd back up everything to the SD card. Then I'd power down and remove the card. Next I would flash a full stock Odin tar.md5 of the operating system. That will put things back to where they're supposed to be. Next time, be more cautious when freezing/disabling/removing system apps and files.

I agree with Oscar.

If you're getting that message, it means something is wrong with your phone. I'd hope it's only something wrong on the software side of things. What Oscar suggested will, without a doubt, solve any issues related with the ROM.
I like my custom ROMs, so the first thing I'd try is a completely clean flash of your ROM. Wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system, then flash any ROM of your choice.
If you're still getting issues after that, then I'd go with the full stock unrooted ROM, as Oscar suggested.
Hope this helps!
Hello,
After unrooted and re-locked (bootloader) my Nexus 9.
When i boot it, i got this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
"This is a development device not intended for production use"
After that, I have flashed the stock rom 6.0.1,so I'm 100% stock now, but I still get this message when the device boot
Is it a bug, or my seller sold me a tablet supposed to be not sold?
Do you think I can ask for a replacement? Because I would like to sell it and buy a other tablet... But with this weird message at the boot, I can't expect a lot from it...
Thanks
Strange. I am interested and want to know more.
The warning only recently appeared?

Just after re-locked my device. So i have unlocked it again to flash the last 6.0.1 stock rom, locked the bootloader, and the red message is still here. But I have seen that, if I unclock the bootloader, the message disappears, and if I lock it, the message appear... Strange.
One other thing, (with bootloader locked), I have an ota update, 7,7mb, but when I update, it fail each time
So if I send it to HTC, I think they will change it with a new one, because even with a factory reset, flash stock rom, I don't know what more they can do.
And I have light bleed on the screen, so i really hope they will give me a new one!
That's strange. I don't know whether that red message appears even if you lock the bootloader with everything being stock, but you may try this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/guide-safely-lock-bootloader-android-5-1-t3067302
Edit: If OTA update fails, your device may not be completely stock. Try troubleshooting by consulting the recovery log, or use the "flash-all.bat" to flash stock ROM again.

Ok thanks for your help
I have send an email to HTC to ask for a replacement. I have seen that some people who got the same issue, (even without root or unlock bootloader) got a replacement :fingers-crossed: . And I have ugly light bleed on the screen, so I really hope I will got a replacement too
If the OTA fails then you aren't full stock..
DITTO to downloading the google stock image and flashing using the included flash-all.bat.
Im not quite sure if anyone has rooted the most recent firmware so im going to tell you how i did it =)
links will be provided at the end and yeah lets get started
step 1 !!! download the SM-J120A ENG boot(link below)and go ahead and flash it via odin.
DONT FREAK OUT! ITS GOING TO FAIL! Rest assured your phone witll boot back up but when it does you will notice in the "about phone" section of you phone's settings that Selinux is magically permissive......=)=)=)
step 2 !!! download latest Kingroot and let it works its weird Chinese magic voodoo lol....
AGAIN DONT FREAK OUT!! Due to kingroot being the zombie apocalypse of your poor phone, its going to be running like absolute garbage...
step 3 !!! go to the play store and purchase Chainfire's very own SUPERSUME!!!!! it is the best and fastest way to administer the "cure" for your phone and switch that deadly Kingroot for the nice foot massage that is SuperSU. If you're worried about SuperSuMe costing a few bucks then id say you've got a long and worrisome life ahead of you haha its only a few bucks and chances are you have'nt donated to Chanifire yet and should be ashamed!!!! without Chainfire we would'nt have the root we have today period, you all know i speak the truth =)
Conclusion!!!!!!! i know this may seem like a total joke post but i assure you, it is not a joke. this method with put a nice smelling fresh root on your at&t express 3 running on J120AUCU2AQC1 fimware as depicted by the screen shot below. you will also notice that it is running on the tmobile network with Volte, but thats a story for another day....sweet dreams bobbits.....
disclaimer!!!!!!!!! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVICE!!! I AM MERELY SHOWING YOU THE PATH TO ABSOLUTION, IT IS VERY MUCH YOUR DECISION TO WALK THAT ROAD....
i assure you this has been tested and retested and you should be just fine and when this method works for you(yup i said it...lol) when it works, hook me up with a thumbs up or something =)
links!!!!!

But on which device J3? Sm-j320fn?
Root successful...........but
I was able to root with firmware version J120AUCS3AQE1 but because mine is an AT&T phone the bootloader is "locked and signed" meaning it's never going to unlock........? I have the latest version of firmware that came out in may 2017 and it will be available to you as soon as I can post an outside web address............ Every Recovery image that I flashed caused everything to fail and a big triangle that said AT&T detected software on your device that is not allowed on our device so I guess this one is never really your own........ but you can Root with Kingroot and supersume pro to get rid of bloatware and such but other than that no custom stuff on this one.
If Kingroot keeps freezing just restart phone and keep trying it took me a long while to obtain root.
im rooted. and for some reason yesterday i got a update (25 mb)available notification. and now it is bugging me every few hours to connect to wifi and update.
im not interested in new bugs and the april update has no benefit for me, so what system app is resposable for this and how do i , disable it, clear its cache and data. so it will go away?
maybe ill update in may, but it will be manually. or i will go to proton or some custom rom if google still does not fix dirty pipes by then
Disable OTA updates... if rooted you have many apps to choose from to do it.
On my stock Samsung phones it's the first thing I disable.
Autostarts can be used to find it, and presumably kill it on a rooted device.

If you have the option to clear the system cache try that. Try temporarily toggling Developer options off, sometimes it goes buggy.
Sometimes it's another system app doing it. Google play Services is always a menace...
From time to time I explore settings looking for things I missed... still finding stuff after over 2 years
With notification issues I eventually track them down. I don't upgrade and rarely update in part because I don't want to go debugging all over again.
From my experience on OnePlus, Google Services (e.g. play store and its system components) is used to push OTA updates. Sometimes you get this notification, sometimes you wake up to root being missing and a new, unwanted OS loaded.
Its a long jihad to get rid of all the Google stuff (and still have all your other apps work), but it can be done...

If the updates are coming through Playstore you can either disable Google play Services temporarily or use a firewall to block Playstore.
