[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug. - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.

Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar

I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy

Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.

[HOWTO] Fix Android Market Unsuccessful Download Problem

after my phone rooted i get one problem that is "market unsuccessful download problem " for any apps or games i tried to download it from the market.
so i will show you how to solve it
you will go to windows run command and type cmd
1- go to android-sdk-windows folder
2- go to tools folder
3- type adb reboot recovery
4- the phone will go to recovery mode screen
5-you will find 4 options please select wipe cache partition (use the volume up and down to go throw options and press home to select )
6- go to reboot system now and press home

I rooted my phone with the update.zip method from here: http://forum.samdroid.net/f49/superuser-su-busybox-i9000-26-06-2010-a-1355/
And I didn't had to wipe the cache. Which method did you use?
the same but you will get it in the Future
How to solve it without wiping:
just go to manage applications in Settings and clear cache or data of "Download Manager" and it works perfectly fine after that. I had that problem and it annoyed me so much until I found that fix.
ive had this issue after updating to the latest official firmware, i did see the option before i restart my phone to clear partition cache... i wonder if this fix my download issues too...

yeah i tried that before and it didnt work... i just reflashed to F7 rom then at the option i chose clear partition cache and also clear all user data etc,
basically the phone booted as it came out of the box...
Market downloads work now...
none of the methods works for me.. :/
I flashed my galaxy s with the fjb for PDA and fj5 Phone I didnt flash the CSC. Everything works great except that the phone refuses to download apps from the market..
first i tryed deleting cash from the download manager, and afterwards i tried rebooting the phone in recovery mode as OP explained.. both methods have been carried out correctly, but none of them worked.. Would the next step be to whipe all data from the phone with option nr 2 in recovery mode ? Or is this simply because i didnt flash csc ?
If someone could please explain what PDA Phone and CSC is it would be nice too.. I'm quite new to android but quite experienced flasher of chips for xbox's, ps's and wii's, so please do get technical

I did not flash firmware. I have original JF4 Firmware. I cannot download any apps after 5 to 10 downloads. 1.7 GB free local phone storage. Only solution is factory data reset. Please help!
what exact error are you getting if the market never connects just says retry.. i got that same error after updating and the only think i could do was a factory reset and that fixed it.
2nd if you are not seeing paid and secure apps.. this is a different issue with the build.prop file in the newer f/w versions not being recognized by the marketplace so it knows you are rooted/hacked and doesnt show them so you cannot get at them and distribute them.. i posted a fix for this and fw/ jf7 search on my name to find it.
hmm i'm in Denmark where we sadly can't even see the paid apps yet.. fuked up.. But i can see all the free apps, but when i try to download it says the app will be downloaded.. And then instead of starting it comes up with the error saying it was unsuccessful..
am i really the only one with this problem.. ???
madfarmer, you may have an IMEI issue, try this:
Go to the phone app and dial *#06# and note the IMEI it reads out here.
Then check the IMEI under the battery, do they match? If they don't this is your issue.
they match.. so i guess it isn't that :/
I have the same problem as madfarmer, and I didn't flash the csc file too. Could reflashing the JFB rom with all the files, so including the csc file help?
Edit: Reflashing the rom with the csc file has helped so far...
Just flashed the phone again with all 3 including CSC and now everything seems to work.. The marketdownloads the apps just fine.. a little ****ed up thing is that there is now a bookstore app with only russian books in it but other than that everything seems perfect..
Looks like you have to flash the csc as well, cos I flashed the 3 files together. As to the russian thing, use adb to remove those apps. Delete the stored web pages, they are all russians too.

so.. Do i need to root the phone to be able to remove the apps.. and do you by any means know what the apk file is called ?
1.click Google Talk
2.Login Google Talk
3.push Home
4.open market
that will be start download
good luk

Play Store problems!

My Play store suddenly stop to download. I use Kyrillos 9.6 rom from 2 weeks and i hasn`t problems before.
But now it`s opening normal, but images are missing and i can`t download nothing. Just says "downloading..." and nothing more...
I try to clear Play store /cache/data. without succsess. Cleared davlink Cache, CACHE, I reflashed the rom, but same again. Even i uninstalled my current version 3.8.17 and reinstalled again , again without succsess.
I don`t know what is the reason for that, but it`s a very irritrating.
My sister play store works on Galaxy TAB and there is no problems with play store.
Sooo if you have a idea what cause that problem please share

Re-flash the ROM, then remove "/system/app/MarketUpdater.apk (not sure if it's named like this or not)" with Root Explorer. This will disable the Market updater.
same again
i`m sick to reflashing the rom, i will hardbrick my phone if i continue in the same way.
Ok. I reflash the rom, and deleted Market Updater.apk. After that started the Play Store. But before it ask me upgrade to new market.
I click ok. AND guess the same again
I don`t know what is the reason but it is a very strange. Reflash dont help???? WTF
maybe i should change my phone.
Well if you have the money you should upgrade your phone. Also, flashing ROMs wont brick your phone as long as the ROM doesn't have the bootloader file. Custom ROMs don't have bootloaders so it is safe to flash.
Click the thanks button on my posts if I helped!
Finally Solved!
Ok, i solved the problem.
1. Reflash the ROM
2. Delete Market Updater.apk (look Jason-EX post)
3. CWM Recovery, clear the Cache
4. Install old/new market updater from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
5. Select which market to use: OLD or NEW ( I use OLD market 2.3.5, and it is a very fast and smooth without lags compared with google play)
6. Reboot
Enjoy !

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Something wierd is going on.

i checked manually for upates, 15 minutes ago. It showed me that an system update is avaible.
Update installed, rebooted and here starts the wierd things.
-Phone boots up but the only thing im able to access is the ''edge'' bar where is the edge people and other fun features.
-Pressing volume button down will bring the boot menu with : reboot, shutdown etc..
-Tried to boot in safe mode. no luck, only the safe mode bar appears in the left.
-Wiping cache, no luck.
-Not rooted. Stock.
Only thing that i installed outside the play store is the samsung lab application wich is shared here in the forums because its not avaible for s6 edge+ for some reason in the samsung's app store.
I managed to boot in recovery mode and this text took my attention : mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 (frimware codename?) 6.0.1 android version
Made factory reset, works now but lots of important data (pictures, music etc..) lost in that.
I made an google search with mmb29k.g928fxxs3bqa9 and found nothing.
(edit: In the download folder, there seems to be a file with the rom build number/number)
Yeah I had the same problem, posted about it in the general forum. I flashed another stock ROM ontop of it from Sammobile and it saved me from doing the factory reset.

they are still sharing it.
Someone who's phone updated correctly needs to make these guys a firmware they can flash back with Odin otherwise they won't be able to find anything that works. (no downgrades allowed)
Make sure you backup what you can. Export contacts, everything on Phone when you connect your computer can be copied in/out, if you didn't know. App data will have to be individually backed up.

Hard to believe the stock rom keeps on crashing just because you rooted, some samsung apps might not work but that's about it. Which roms did you try? Did you try flashing/wiping through twrp rather than odin?
.
Stock rom keeps crashing and rebooting. i did flash stock rom with odin and i tried smart switch too. i have tried all costum s8 roms and flashed them via twrp, i always did a full wipe. Running renovate ice 2.0 atm but having problems with google apps.
Please i still need help
Not too sure but i think i have some hardware problem, if i try recovery via odin my phone updates to 32% and then says erasing... and then it boots but everything crashes. Im able to use costum roms but i still get some crashes and google apps are not working well.
