Onto step 2, It prompts me to login in but after it says "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server..." but my internet connection is fine :/
I'll try step 3 after school though thanks

If youre rooted.
-Open root browser.
-Open etc
-Search for the file hosts
-Open hosts and add a # in from of the ip address of JUST THE LOCAL HOSTS. I.e.
Instead of 12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts
Make it #12x.xxx.xx.x localhosts.
-Reboot

[Q] payment method issue in play store

Hello people,
I am having problem making purchases as I can't add any payment method (cc or anything else) when I click on purchase and then continue it starts loading and then nothing appears, just my email and the rest of the window stays blank after the loading icon disappears like in this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
my phone model:
it's the stock rom but I rooted my device using the guide on xda-developers with mohan root, (this has nothing to do with the issue,I just had to mention it)
It all started to happen after I used freedom, I uninstalled it in the correct way, I've stopped it then uninstalled it, and I've also reset the hosts file, I tried to add another google account and used it for play store and still had the same issue, and I also use adaway.
I went with the hard reset from the recovery mode and still had he same problem I did not even use freedom after the hard reset.
after thinking of it, it might be caused cus of some apps I've disabled, so here is the list of the disabled apps in my phone:
I have to mention that I've disabled Samsung billing after the hard reset but I've re-enabled it and nothing has changed and i think this has nothing to do with it and this app is related to Samsung applications app which I've also disabled along with KNOX.
how can I solve this problem?

Un install and reinstall the play store, that can fix the problem, that happens when you don't stop freedom service that runs in the background and you uninstall it, play store keeps running with the hacked parameters, the only solution is to remove and reinstall play store.

thanks for replying
I've mentioned that I uninstalled freedom in the correct way in my post (by first stopping it and then uninstalling like you said) and I believe I've tried reinstalling play store but I will try it again now after the hard reset.

I disabled play store and re-enabled it, it did not fix the problem, is it the same as uninstalling and re-installing?
I've also disabled and re-enabled google services and google services framework and still the same

Reinstall freedom then, and don't start it, just let it there, and then probe play store

this did not work either

Extrange, in my phone did the same as you, install freedom, run it, stop it and uninstall it, and then probe my play store and everything works ok, maby yours play services has been corrupted, try installing lucky patcher and from that app install the moded play store to see if that works, if not, I think that your only solution will be flash stock again.

Also look in your Google account that everything is marked enable for sinc

Couldn't set up "Ok Google" feature (Error : Trouble Connecting)

Hello everyone,
So I recently updated my device to OxygenOS 5.0 Open Beta 3, and for quite some time, I still have this issue happening to me it's that my Google Assistant wasn't working back when it was (I think it was 4.5.15)
so I hoped the update to Open Beta 1 Oreo would fix that and when I got into the Beta, I still had the issue so I tried to disable it and just try to set it up again, now when I did try to set it up, everytime I tap on the button in Assistant Settings > Phone
The thing keeps on loading with the circle and then it shows the error that it has some trouble connecting.
I don't know what to do, there's Open Beta 2 and now it's 3 but the issue still isn't fixed, it's annoying.
Any possible solution to this? I'd attach the screenshot but it doesn't really say much.

First of all, upgrade to Official OOS 5, I also got this error while trying to setup my Philips Hue lights rooms, but the settings were saved even with this error.
And try with Wifi connection, not 3G/4G.

I've had the same problem before but with xXx's 9.0 Oreo. I noticed Google Play Services force closing during the initial setup routine. I was able to proceed thru the setup bypassing an update play services option. All worked fine except that I can't access Google assistant settings, throwing up this "Trouble connecting" error. Also previous paid apps aren't recognized in Play store. Clean flashing the ROM (in my case xXx's), full wipe with format data fixed the problem. Backup everything beforehand.

The thing pops up even when I'm on WiFi or something. I think I have to clean install everything like suggested in the next reply. I think I'll upgrade to the OTA with link you've provided.

Any fix for 'Checking info...' and other problems?

Hi,
I have recently flashed my oneplus 5 NitrogenOs, but I am facing some issues. I figured maybe any of you guys could help me.
1. When I try to add a new google account, a new screen pops up saying 'Checking info...' ('Informatie controleren...') and appears to be loading. This screen however, never closes. This way I am not able to add any google account to my phone. It appeared out of nowhere after some time of using the rom, so i currently have my google account already setup.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Google search is not working either (the app and the shortcut in nova launcher), it stops loading just before the end.
I am guessing these two problems are somehow related to google play services, but I have no idea how to fix them (obviously).
3. E-mail isnt loading anymore. The mail preview is showing the first 3-4 lines, but when i open the mail itself it shows nothing but the details (sender, time etc.). This occured after the clean flash (will get to that later on). I can also not send any e-mails. I tried this in 3 different mail-apps (with 3 mail accounts) including gmail and they all show the same results. This is not happening on hotmail.com in chrome.
Current phone details:
- Twrp multirom 3.1.1-0
- Bootloader is unlocked
- Running NitrogenOs 8.0.0 (latest build from this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5/development/rom-nitrogen-os-cheeseburger-t3684946)
- Magisk v15.2 installed
- Flashed Gapps 'mini'
- Busybox installed (don't think this has anything to do with the problems)
- No Xposed framework installed
I am aware of the fact that the 'Checking info...' glitch has a lot of threads/posts already, but i haven't found any solution yet.
Things i already tried:
- Clean reflashing (rom, gapps and root (magisk and supersu))
- Updating google play services via apk
- Clearing cache/data from all google apps/services
- Removing updates from all google apps/services (this was not possible for google play services)
- Messing around with the host file (root/system/etc/hosts)
Both before and afther the reflash the first two problems occured after a short amount of time.
If anyone has a solution for any of the problems I would love to hear it, and if there is already a solution in another thread i would love a link too.
(ps. This is my first post so if anyone has tips, feel free to comment)

Try different gapps like nano or pico.

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried wiping everything except internal storage and reflashed rom and pico Gapps. For now it seems to be working; mail shows up, all apps open and no google related bugs. Hope it stays like this, but either way thanks for your help!

I finally found out what causes the problems; it's viper4android. After installing the stock version and the materialised version over it the problems occured. Any idea how this could happen or how to undo it? Because i am kinda settled down already with my setup.
I tried uninstalling the drivers and uninstalling the materialised v4a, but the stock version cant be deleted because i flashed it via recovery.

What problems are you facing? All of them or only the checking info-bug?

Google account & Play Store not working after deleting some apks using root

,I have a Galaxy J5 (SM-J500F) which was running out of space (-500MB). To save some space, I rooted it, removed some bloatware apps and started to remove some apks from /system/priv-app using Root Explorer. Later I noticed that Play Store is not working anymore as it tells me to login to my Google account, but the button is not working.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I went to settings/Accounts, I realized that the Google button is greyed out as I can not add any Google account.
I believe this has to do with Google Play Services, because I remember accidently deleting it from /system/priv-app. I keep getting this notification :
Having no access to Play Store, I manually installed various APKS from external sources but none of them solved this issue.
I also installed apks for Google Account Manager and Google Services Frameworks but nothing happens.
It seems that I'm missing an apk but not really sure what it is.
Any help would be appreciated

You could always just install a custom recovery. And then upgrade the phone to android pie with one of the custom ROMs available.
You will lose all your data but its faster than stock rom and you can use an sd card for internal storage and move apps to the sd card.
Also without play services and Google services framework you probably wont get notifications for apps or else delayed notifications
