Phone died,then root and other things stopped working - HTC 10 Questions & Answers

PHONE: HTC10
ROM: LEEDROID_10_V3.0.0 BETA3-R7
SAFETY:1 NOV 2016
NOUGAT
2.28.401.8.8.0_G ...
i have been using this since 2016, i never had any problems with device apart from phone rebooting upon reaching battery level. Yesterday it reached battery level,died,rebooted, and my Sense home stopped working, fb stopped working , i needed to get permissions again for every app again . My root doesnt seem to work anymore,i get magisk tick,but for example i cant get busybox to Allow root access for apps like Lucky patcher
i tried: turning it off and on again, rebooting,quick booting. No change
what caused this?what do i do? I cant use sense since it keeps FC,im using the crappy google launcher now. I fixed FB and messenger FCing by deleting and redownlding them.

Ok small update, i fixed the apps and sense home not working. All i had to do was a tedious but simple process of uninstall and reinstalling every app. Some apps wouldn't FC, but couldn't do things like Spotify search or login.
I still need suggestions for root, how do I re-root the phone? It's been too long since I did hacks. I assume it'll be by flashing from CMW/recovery?

You can probably dirty flash the Leedroid rom and see if it helps. Better to ask in the Leedroid thread though

CM7 Market problems since last week

Hey people,
I'm currently located in China and I've got serious problems with the Market lately.
I'm using and been using CM7 on my Moto Defy for months (almost since CM7-Jordan beginning) and I've never had such Market problems before.
So I'm wondering if
1) other users from China can tell me if things are the same (or fine) for them?;
2) anyone have hint/suggestion on how to fix this after reading what I did/observed here?:
First, I'll say again that I've never had problems with Market before; none getting it installed (through gapps zip) on CM7 when updating/reflashing ROM or Nand backups/ none with downloading or upgrading apps with the Market app.
But all in a sudden last week, I noticed that the Market was not reacting quickly. I was testing 111004-1128 nightly (which has a newer Superuser file included) then after SU updated itself automatically [coincidence???], all things broke loose, Market would not connect and give me errors. SU would also alway stay in the "Not Installed" List of my Market apps (even after reboots and logins).
I've then tried to install the Superuser Market update fixer app (big mistake I think now) but that just made things worst. In an effort to get the Market going again, I did clean it's cache and eventually it's data which basically resetted all my listed apps in the Market.
Following all that, I did numerous fresh installs [maybe 10 at this point]: RSDL Froyo flashing and CM7 and gapps installs [with and without restoring old working CWM backups] and with countless install combinations of older CM7 builds and gapps versions.
On August's gapps, Market always gives me the "No connection Retry" even if I can get connected to Google services since my wifi indicator turns blue or green (depending on theme/CM7 build used) and Talk and Gmail logs in fine.
On June's gapps,login seems fine: I can browse apps but as soon as I try downloading something, I get stuck at Downloading 0%... and it seems to put the servicee in some sort of bootloop since and other apps icons do not display until I get "Download failed to install - Try again" and click OK. Market will also FC as soon as I select anything from the "Just in" sections.
I've tried clearing Market's cache many times, started Talk, signed out and back in, let my wifi on all night to leave Market to update. I've even created a new gmail account and tried it on yet another fresh install with June gapps; nothing works and this drive me nutts!!
I can go on my desktop, use a VPN service to log in to my Market account and install something from there; it will be pushed on my phone alsmost right away. But again I can't install anything from the phone no matter what.
That would be fine with me, but that means that for any special apps that otherwise would require me to use Market Enabler, I will not be able to do it from the desktop either.
It's not a question of having DroidWall or anything else I've installed blocking something out; like I wrote; I've tried many clean installs without restoring or installing anything...: same.
So, has The Great Firewall" finally caught up to Android Market and stopping use of any Vending.apk from withtin China? Are they recent changes from Google? Or am I having other Market setup/install problems here? What's your take on this?
Thanks for reading and thanks for any help in advance.
Cheers.
And PLEASE do not "full quote" this long post (sorry for that btw) .
Market has been blocked by GFW. I can't access it either unless using VPN.

This sounds not so far fetched..
I live in the US, and I see the same type of behavior at my college.
I can get to the app, but when downloading it sits there for a century.
the idea of censorship isn't something I would blame, nor shrug.
Her are a few things I should try...
Use a spare gmail account to test with, and see if you can reproduce the same results...
Try and use that same vpn, configured through your phone this time, and disable any apn/data settings other than wifi... Now try.
Edit:
P.s. What ROM are you using? The cm team has a stable out now.. Guide that a shot...

My OP was a long one, but I think that i did mention somewhere that I've tried a new gmail account with same result.
My vpn use encryption and will not work on defy ;(
Strangely, from all my recent tries at getting gapps to work properly, it seems that I can only use 2G data to do the first account setup. And that seems to 'work' only with June gapps package.
Recent update (on RC1.5):
I've also managed to get my installed apps listed again by playing around with 2G data and installing and uninstalling a standalone 3.1.3 Vending apk as update and undo it.
I was able to download 2 or 3 apps (out of 50 trials) also by fiddling w data enable/disable.
But again, never before, in 4-5 months using CM7, I had to turn on data past the initial Google setup and I've never had any download issues either....
So i don't think that it's related to TGFW and will keep digging...
On 7.1 now but no change..as
I did flash june gapps w 7.1 but never got any setup to do since no factory reset. Will try a clean install tomorrow or the day after...
Thanks for your reply.
OK I finally got it to work after all.
I just tried to fix the fix the problems caused by the new Superuser update after trying a recent nightly in just the worst possible way over and over.
So what you have to remember is:
1- to NOT signin to your Google account using data and do it over wifi. So select "Skip" on the screen showing "Create an account", "Sign in" or "Skip" and go ahead with other settings: your baseband, wifi and especially turning off "Data enabled".
2- always use the latest gapps version, not the June one like I tried many times
3- Install gapps along with a fresh CM7 zip install; not a nand restoration.
4- after reboot (if needed by Defy Baseband Switcher) just press the Market icon and set up your account then
So wipe data, cache and Dalvik and install CM7 zip (RC1.5 is a good one to start with) and and latest gapps zip and follow the above.
Sorry for this useless thread and for me trying to get this working like a chicken without a head
So @ TimelesslyPrecise: if your downloads do not start, it might as well be because you did setup your account over data the first time.
So just start from scratch again:
- backup your apps [with TB, the newest (and free) Astro file manager or other];
- do a fresh CM7 install (no need to reflash Froyo) but do as above;
- restore your apps;
- then just click on the Market icon and sign in.
Don't worry if at first your apps are not listed under "My apps"; they will eventually come back with usage.
@xcjiang: yeah I knew that, but that doesn't mean that the Market app on the phone doesn't work.
Sorry again about that.
Cheers.
Didn't worked for me...
Instead I found cause and solution elsewhere http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295222
To cut the story short, problem is in way that Market don't get DNS right.
Solution is to install app that will change DNS for every wifi connection DNS to OpenDNS (my choice) or GoogleDNS. I'm using DNS Changer.
Now enjoy superfast Market

Yes, there's been quite a bit of discussion about this in the main thread. I haven't tried it myself, but the new G+ app is causing FC for a lot of (all?) users. It may well be a problem with the underlying HTC base software. Only "solution" I've seen is to uninstall it, sorry.
I'd suggest we all wait for Google to release v2.0 officially, that way we would avoid a lot of issues
I get Force Close on superuser, anywhere from 2-10 times a day...whether the phone is judt on main screen with no apps open, but use any rooted apps like system app remover, rom manager etc etc....force close all the time.
pull out battery, go into recovery, fix permissions...sorts it for an hour or so, then starts all over again....aRGHHH!!!

Do you have the Market version of Superuser installed? If you do, check to see if it has updated to 3.0.5, and if so uninstall the upgrade. There's more about this in the main ARHD thread.

Snapchat, Snapchat, Snapchat....help please

So, i've used Snapchat on both
Stock (5.1.1 - Oi1 Rom) and Custom Rom (Renegade)
I can't seem to get it to work on the custom rom, i've always had to use the stock rom and it would work just fine, but on the other it would say "temporarily logged out" or something different, but when i boot back to stock, its fine and doesn't hesitate to say that.
Am i missing something here?? i've already tried resetting my password 5 times to be sure.
Snapchat 9.1.17.1.0 -- Xposed Snapprefs 1.6.2
Snapchat and Root
I don't use Snapchat, but this might explain your issue:
http://www.xda-developers.com/snapchat-is-at-it-again-and-blocks-root-users-but-for-how-long/
Snapchat detects Root and stops working, XDA builds a work-around into Xposed, Snapchat puts out a new patch and repeat.
Found something new: Try updating to Snapprefs 1.6.4. And you will find more help here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-snapprefs-ultimate-snapchat-utility-t2947254
Thank you!
I've actually ended up researching and figuring it outmyself my way or work around.
Snapchat checks or scans to see if "Xposed" which leads me to not log in.
So in order to use Snapchat with Snapprefs or 3rd party, you would need to either
Install stock and root it, then log into snapchat with the latest version and then go to recovery to install xposed.
or
Install stock and root then boot to recovery to install the custom rom and do no install xposed framework.
Once done with booting up and setting up, install snapchat latest version, log into it and then install xposed.
once thats done download 'xinstaller' and check to enable downgrading and updating and then install 'snapprefs' for all the
juicyness of customizations.
Profit!
My configuration.
Snapchat -
9.17.1.0
Xposed -
75 wanam 20151008 - seems to work best for me on both roms instead of v79.
Snapprefs -
1.6.2

I found a work around for it my phone died and I signed into my sc from another device used it and logged off when I tried signing in on my phone I got temp login failure notice this is what I did to get back on:
On a second device, download latest version and sign into Snapchat
Once done, root second device and download titanium backup
Make a back up of Snapchat from second device and send the .tibkp back up or whatever to the first device
On first device download latest version of snapchat and titanium back up and restore the data only from the file you sent to the first device from the second device
Once done use sc like normal
Works fine unless you sign out from Snapchat on the second device so what I did is I froze Snapchat on the second device and erased the back up.
Why does Snapchat do this? Does anyone have any idea why?

They make a silly app with an unenforceable premise, the app sucks and they block third-party alternatives, their security is awful, their background data drain is known to go nuts, and now they are blocking root users so they can better charge you for replays??
But still they can't tame the root..
p.s. the CEO is an Apple fanboy..

Looking for assist on a couple oreo issues.

Flashed OTA to Oreo tonight, was 7.1.2 August Update, Unlocked, Google Phone on Verizon Network
Flashed this kernel:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/development/kernel-stock-kernel-safetynet-patch-t3588154
Rooted with Su, and Hidden with Suhide
After every restart, i get 2 app crashes of Gboard and Google App Services, the keyboard and everything seems to function normally after the crashes.
Attempted to clear data/caches on both apps, no change.
Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions? Would prefer not to wipe completely.
Thank you
It might be a simple OTA issue, it probably bring some unneeded props from previous build (I adjusted nav bar in beta 3 so I can use pip but even after final release I still have it).
You can always flash factory ota image without wiping the phone. You need to edit a .bat file ofc, which is just removing a "-w" part.
But don't take my advice if you are not going to take a back up. It might get ugly also ?
Thank you for your thoughts. I spent too many hours trying to get it to work properly. I think I have it now. Hopefully this helps someone:
I found greenify was having issues and possibly locking apps/files after the update.
Uninstalled Greenify, and Pandora (which Greenify was complaining about)
Uninstalled Gboard
Removed device admin for Play Services
Uninstalled all updates for Play Services
Cleared all app preferences
Rebooted
Installed Play Services
Installed Gboard
Rebooted
Installed Greenify
Installed Pandora
Errors gone at this point. Will report back if something else comes up.

Help needed for crash-bootloop, logcat included

While updating/installing apps from the google playstore, the phone will crash and bootloop, and requires a full reinstall to get it working normally. I've attached 2 logcat files for both roms which give the same problem - Mokee5.1, CM13 on a clean installation with pico gapps and manually selecting several apps to install. One other custom rom also gave the same problem so I didn't bother trying any other custom roms. Reverting back to stock MIUIv8 gave no issues.
CM13 used to be mostly problem free until a few months ago I think when the update/install issue started happening. The playstore auto update is normally kept disabled on my phone so I'm unaware about when the problem really started happening.
Edit-
It doesn't seem to be happening anymore from a short test after flashing my CM13 backup but I've moved on to LO14.1
It may have something to do with some other complaints that people are having. It looks like some issue with Cynogenmod since Sept/Oct 2017 which needs some patching.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/bootloop-updating-apps-telegram-t3700773
Update to/ Installation of newest version breaks system
https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues/7171
Several apps causes a phone reboot or boot loop
https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata/issues/979
Can confirm the issue with CM13 on my Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, I do not know a solution. Just stick to older app versions.
