Develop Bugs

Just got ze551 and updated CM. Now can't install google play services/play store

I'm not sure what to do here. I just got my Zenfone 2 (ze551ml/z00a) and noticed I had a notification for a system update and foolishly thought it would be no big deal to proceed to install it. I think it was on CM 12.1 previously and the update was for CM 13 but not sure but after it updated it axed pretty much all the apps that were on it including any Google services. Wouldn't be a big deal since the update was literally the first thing I've done with the phone after porting #/service---haven't imported contacts or anything---but I can't just download an APK of the Play store or Google services. I've tried this through APK downloads and through the Google installer app (which is in Chinese regardless of whether I got it off the xiaomi market or not). The results weren't much different with each attempt. I get either "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later" when trying to sign in when launching play store or""Google Play services won't run unless you update Google Play services.", which I cannot do.
So I can't really do much of anything right now with the phone and really regret installing the CM update. I got Open Gapps but (x86, 6.0, full I think?) but I'm not sure what to do with it. I have experience rooting phones and have rooted my last two phones but I'm no expert when it comes to smartphones. I just want this phone to be usable again, I don't care whether I am using stock or cyanogenmod. How can I get Google services and alike to run is open gapps the solution or do I need to find some recovery rom to try to flash to? I've seen so many completely different solutions to this that I don't know where to go from here. I did a factory reset but that had no effect and the solutions I tried here thus far haven't worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and if you leave a bitcoin wallet address and your solution helps I'll gladly send you a tip for your efforts. Thanks!!

Have you tried reformatting, and flashing gapps and rom? The phone settings was likely tinkered.

What recovery have you got loaded ? If twrp which it should be , being on cm ? Cm 13.1 gets updates and notifications for updates , so download gapps for android 6 x86 ..boot into recovery and flash latest gapps .
What build number date etc ?

Not sure which recovery, it had like 6 grey square-ish buttons when I entered it last time. But when you say 'download gapps' you mean get Open Gapps right? I booted into recovery mode with the zip of it but didn't have a guide handy so I didn't mess with it. So I was on the right track it sounds like, I'll give that a shot with a guide and reply here with the results.

Don't have youtube or any google apps unfortunately, the update to CM 13 removed most of the apps.

Yes just head over to cm 13 for z00a if your device in " original android development section"? , and follow cm flashing instructions ,
What build number and date of build installed ?

I guess I got ahead of myself. I tried installing open gapps from recovery, looked like it worked so I wiped cache and after the phone started I just get a barrage of "unfortunately setup wizard has stopped" and 'play store has stopped" over and over again. So now I can't check what version I have but I know it was CM 13 and one of the latest three available nightly builds with android 6.0.1, I did try installing the 'official' google apps first but I got an error like "unable to update file" or something---guessing I should have tried unlocking the bootloader first? The official unlocker tool is an .apk so now thats off the table. But if this phone has TWRP on it then doesn't that mean the previous owner already unlocked it (I bought it used)? Should I try unlocking first or go straight to flashing CM13?
I'm assuming you are saying to get the CM 13 ROM for z00A from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/zen.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightly-builds-t3264492
I'll download that and give it a shot.
edit:
Do I want the .zip for CM13 (CM Build) or the recovery (.img) or both? screenshot. the guide isn't really clear. I'm going into recovery/TWRP to see if I can find out my version # of CM---I think its the version from 5/23 but I'm not sure

Well the guide is straight forward , you will have download new twrp and flash that for future updates to flash correctly , there are tonnes of threads to get you back up and running around here , take your time ..enjoy .
You say you cannot boot into system so put all files on SD card and select storage in twrp ..flash ROM ..gapps .. and latest twrp ..so you can back up at earliest instance
If any probs , try YouTube ..there's a few vids for flashing cm13 on zen 2

How's it going ohituna ? All good?

Updated TWRP to v3 first then flashed CM13 from the thread I linked above (the zip, not the img). along with the x86-nano version of opengapps. Worked perfectly. Wish I would have done that from the start instead of messing around with trying to get opengapps to work without the flashed CM and whatnot. Seems to be running perfect, got bunch of apps off play store already with no problem getting my contacts and other Google stuff.
Thanks for the pushes in the right direction!:good::good::good::good:
Now the ZF2 is starting to grow on me, got it instead of waiting for the HTC One A9 price to drop and I'm feeling like I made the right call.

Great news , better that you sorted it yourself .
Now save a back up on PC and keep forever lol just in case

First of all, thanks for your rom and topics about the sm_G1600 !
Can you tell us which base rom you used for this optimized rom you made ? I'm using now ZCU1AQB1, rooted & with google market installed and prefer not to downgrade.

I used ZCU1AQB1 only. As personally using the same stock based firmware. Still now stable and rocking I am ameture developer though - need more people to look into this device - it is having good potential ! Presently working on completely disabling selinux or atleast permissive mode. May be next version

I was unable to download the ROM today. Is the link down?

Thanks! I got it downloaded. However after I installed it, WiFi refuses to stay on. I toggle it on and it just toggles back off right away by itself. When I reflash stock software, I can use Wifi, however.

Did you wiped your data partition before installing the ROM ? If possible, backup your internal storage, go to wipe, select wipe data, and type yes. Then using adb sideload - try to install the ROM

1. started with firmware g1600zcu1aph8-20160909140813_chc . This was a clean install through Odin.
Software settings at this point:
android version 6.0.1
baseband g1600zcu1aph8
kernel 3.18.24-8981871
build number mmb29m.g1600zcu1aph8
se for android status enforcing
knox version 2.6
android security patch level august 1, 2016
2. I then went into download mode, and using Odin, flashed the TWRP found on this page: https://www.aryablog.info/2017/06/rooting-and-installing-google-app-on-galaxy-folder-2-sm-g1600/ . This starts out in Russian and you have to switch to English every time.
Before flashing TWRP, download mode reported:
Product name SM-g1600
current binary: samsung official
system status: official
reactivation lock: off
crom service: unlock
knox warranty void: 0x1 (0x20c)
qualcom secureboot enable (csb)
ap swrev: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
secure download: enable
download mode!!
3. Reboot, wifi is still working
4. Boot into recovery (TWRP)
5. At this point the phone is not rooted. I now did an advanced wipe, including dalvik/art cache, data, internal storage, and cache
6. Now I flashed your ROM Sillycon_beta_1_sm _g1600.zip via TWRP
I select safe format
I get a lot of "failed to mount data" errors here before the flash starts
No errors appear during the flashing process
script says everything went fine
7. I reboot
During reboot at the top it says: set warranty bit: kernel
There's a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark and next to it some Chinese text that google translate says is a warning that the phone has a non-samsung official system.
8. green screen with cogs while "android is upgrading" and optimizing apps
9. System boots to main screen. I attempt to toggle Wlan on, but after half a second it just toggles back off.
10. At this point, I put in my SIM card to see if that affects anything. Wlan still won't stay toggled on. I am able to make a phone call without any problems. I wasn't able to login to Google, getting the error that I don't have a network connection.
I go into mobile networks. I check Preferred Networks which is blank. Network mode is LTE/3g/2g auto connect. access point names has nothing selected, I set for ATT Nextgenphone. Under network operators I select Select Automatically and get "registered on network" popup.
Still can't sign in.
I then tried all the other options under Access point names, with the same result.
It should be mentioned that I have an AT&T microcell, so picking up data signal should not be a problem inside the house.
This is not my "daily driver" phone, so I'm not in a jam here. I can only guess it's possibly something to do with the radio (modem?) file, or something to do with using this phone on AT&T in the US.

Btw I fixed the data so it worked. For some reason it was toggled off.

Can you provide links to the TWRP version you are using? There are different TWRPs for different phones, and the twrp app doesn't list this phone.

TWRP
Attached with this reply. Though I personally changed the default language to english. But, still under modification. I will share soon. Also suggesting you to try Beta2. Flash it, then install following
1) OpenGapp Pico ( for arm )
2) Wanam Xposed https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862685344
3) Any Viper4android for Marshmallow.
New one is much faster and daily driver. No knox popup, so su issue ( sepolicy injected ). Please don't forgot to press thanks if it helps. :good:

How can I make TWRP mount the data partition?

And has anyone figured out google assistant?

Do you have the stock kernel from the Chinese version firmware?
I was able to get google assistant working using the Korean version firmware, but it doesn't allow for exposed because the kernel has the security patches up to May 2017

My ROM based on Chinese Firmware only. Please find kernel https://mega.nz/#!zMIlkABB!PaVLQynV9R4MnyBxgB8d05ymq7pf1HD-AAE-xdj4TsQ
Can you please share Korean Firmware Download URL ? May come-up with a ROM with that.

I don't see a link for just the kernel. I can upload the Korean firmware to google drive.

Upload error . Updated that post with Mega URL.

Wait a few minutes, I will have the Korean G160N firmware on Google Drive.
Not sure if dual sim will work, flash at your own risk.

Mi Mix 2 Issue logging into Google Account after flashing Global ROM

I got a Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 with Chinese ROM already installed. I'm very happy with the phone itself but wanted to install the Global Developer ROM.
Downloaded the Flashboot ROM from miui and flashed according to the tutorial in the wiki and everything seems to be working fine.
Since I haven't installed much on the chinese ROM, I decided to also reset the phone so I can start fresh. The problem I have right now is that I cannot get past the Google login to access the phone.
After logging into the account it keeps saying 'Please sign in using one of the owner's accounts for this device' even though this is the account I used previously with this phone without any issues.

If you can, install twrp and use the inbuilt file manager to delete Google setup app from /system

Also I believe there's a module allowing you to skip the setup wizard. Just flash magisk 16 and that module zip shall do？

[GUIDE] How to install Android 10 Internal Build for Nokia 8 Sirocco

If you want to repost this internal OTA to other websites (other than XDA itself), please ask me for permission, thanks.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To users who have installed this internal build, please share your experience report here if you're willing to, thanks.
If HMD will push Android 10 officially, you can install it under ADB sideload easily and link will be posted here.
Internal build version: A1N-5060-0-00WW-B01
It will be updated from: A1N-414K-0-00WW-B01, which is unreleased January 2020 Security Update.
Let me tell you how to verify:
1. Dial *#*#227#*#* to check current Version. If older than A1N-414J-0-00WW-B03, update to 414J before proceed. (Alternately, dial *#*#7837#*#* to check, proceed if displays 00WW_4_14J-B03)
FYI, 414J is December 2019 Security Update.
Alternately, you can use command "fastboot oem getversions" under fastboot mode / Download mode to check current firmware version.
2. Install A1N-414K-0-00WW-B01-414J-0-00WW-B03-update.zip with adb sideload under recovery.
3. Reboot to normal OS and recovery again - it's not over yet.
4. Install A1N-5060-0-00WW-B01-414K-0-00WW-B01-update.zip with adb sideload under recovery.
5. Reboot your phone.
That's it.
If Android 10 official update pushed publicly, link will be updated here.

To prevent throttle error, I didn't upload them to Google Drive or other cloud storages. Sorry for inconvenience.

Can it work in TA- 1004? I'm waitting android 10 in Nokia 8 Thank kiu so much

Hi, I installed Android 10 on my Nokia 8 sirocco and since then, impossible to make gcam work. I have tried many versions but the application closes directly. Gcam worked perfectly on android 9. Do you have any solutions? Thank you.

Hey is it possible to install this on Nokia 8(TA-1004)?

To experienced developers:
Here's the full partition dump of Android 10 for A1N.
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261769554
If you'd like to port this to Nokia 8 (NB1, TA1004/1012/1052), now it's your chance.
Note this cannot be flashed to Nokia 8 NB1 directly.

To subscriber of this topic:
Nokia 8 Sirocco just got Android 10 official update.
If you have installed A1N-5120-0-00WW-B01 build (dial *#*#7837#*#* and output might be 00WW_5_120-B01), then it's same to official build and enjoy it.
We're fetching full OTA link and update soon.

Ok,
Because I was tired of waiting for Nokia to send the OTA update to my phone, I did this manually on a device that was running the latest March security patch and Android 9 using ADB and the A1N-5120-0-00WW-B01-414M-0-00WW-B01-update.zip package.
Follow the below guide if you want to update your device as well:
- dial *#*#7837#*#* and check that software is 414m
- download adb and fastboot from Google official site ( https://dl.google.com/android/repository/platform-tools-latest-windows.zip )
- download the update ( https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261750327 )
- reboot the phone in recovery mode and go to Apply update to ADB ( guide how to reboot to recovery: https://www.hardreset.info/devices/nokia/nokia-8-sirocco/recovery-mode/ )
- placed all the above files ( firmware and google adb abd fastboot ) in the same folder open a CMD window and use the following command: ADB sideload A1N-5120-0-00WW-B01-414M-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
- wait for the update to finish, select reboot system now and reboot the phone.
Voilla, you are running the latest Android.
Things noticed after the update:
- phone feels a little bit snappier
- interface is the same, minor icon changes bug generally is the same
- has android 10 gesture navigation which does not work with a third party launcher

Here's the full OTA link of A1N-5120 build.

Hi!
Can you tell me how I can flash the latest full OTA of A1N-5120 build? I'm already on this update, but my phone is fully buggy after the official OTA update. I make a factory reset with clearing cache and some other folders by boot menu and I think I was delete something important. Get me advise, please! Thanks!

I also have some problems with the phone running the latest OTA and also want to flash the latest OTA from file because neither factory reset from Settings nor from Recovery menu didn't help.
I've downloaded the file from https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/nokia_a1nsprout_avenger00ww/69b78c6f6a866f314a3b50e7ac88cd10e94233e7.zip, then copied it to the root of my Sirocco and dialed *#*#874#*#* but that didn't work for me.
I read that the file should have correct name - may be that is the problem?
What is the correct name for file so that it could be accepted as an update by the phone already running the same OTA?

Gapps not working (Won't install open gapps because rom is 4.3 even though I'm on 6)

Hi,
Hopefully someone sees this. I have a galaxy s2 t989 and I installed cm13 the other day. It doesn't come with gapps obviously, so I put the version recommended on the forums, and it said "Error code 20" "This version of gapps is for version 6.x.x and you are on 4.3". CM13 is android 6.0.1, so I don't really understand. I've installed the kitkat CM previously, and had it on there for multiple years, but I formatted and reset everything in the phone. Anything that is able to be formatted in CWM I did, and it still didn't work. I then tried to manually install the APK for google play services along with the play store, and it just keeps spamming "Unfortunately, google play services has stopped". I can't seem to figure out how to change the version of the rom in CWM to be my current version. Can anyone help please?

Recommend..
1. Flash back to factory OEM Samsung T989 Android 4.1.2 rom..
2. Flash TWRP Recovery
3. Backup device to Micro SD
4. Did I mention Backup device to Micro SD?
If you wish to try a custom ROM.. always use a matching version of Open GAPPs.. so if its an Android 6 rom.. use Android 6 GAPP... also.. for this old T989 device.. use the NANO GAPP.. and install only what you need from the play store afterwards. Good threads to read over for this device are:
