Good to see I am not Robinson Crusoe at least.

Seems it is an artifact of clearing Google Services Framework on the N4 only. Wonder why it is only seemingly effecting the N4 and when and if it will sort itself out. Perhaps after the individual device number is due for its OTA in the rollout.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzkiwiman:
I have the same issue, went to download something from the play store via the desktop (easier to search and read about the app) and I don't have any devices listed. I did clear the Framework to try and force the update but that did not work

Can still download from the play store on the device

Remove your Google account in settings, then re-add it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
As mentioned in post #1 this does not fix the problem. If only it did the issue would not exist.

From time to time I see the following dialog on my N4...

"Unfortunately the process com.google.android.gsf.login has stopped."

I guess this is related somehow. Any other suggestions (other than hard reset)?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzkiwiman:
Well, rather than removing my account, I did a factory reset on phone,

Booted with 4.3 already installed and after several hours of my first app install via my phone, I still don't have a device when looking via my Chrome on the desktop.

Will check in the morning (approx 12 hours) and see what happens.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clansley:
I've had the same issue for a few days now, so I decided to use Market Helper (usually used to fake your device model) to tell the store that I have a nexus 4 (which it is). This placed it back into the play store instantly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
It's strange as my phone (fresh install of 4.3 using the Google images) appears fine in Google Play on my PC
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clansley:
In my case I was on 4.3, decided to root the device, so backed it up and then put 4.3 on. Then I restored the backup I had. It could be the restore that caused me issues rather than 4.3...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzkiwiman:
Still no luck for me ... Been more than 12 hours since I did a fresh install and have used the play store many times on the phone and my device does not appear. Rather annoying
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
Seems this issue is not going to get fixed any time soon. After several days no sign of my N4 with 4.3 re-appearing in Google Play. I dont think it will get fixed until Google get their Sh1t together and fix it their side.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzkiwiman:
Managed to log a support case with Google Play last night, the person I spoke said she had seen the issue as well but 4.3 solved for her.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] logger:
That doesn't sound very promising. Are they going to get back to you with a fix any time soon?

Wonder if it would help if more of us log the same fault and cross reference your support case number. So they can see it is not isolated.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nzkiwiman:
24 hours later I got the same email back with the following line in purple

Not sure if that means they want even more information that what I provided.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tas314:
Not just N4 it's my N7 MIA

Found this thread when looking for almost the same problem. For me it's my Nexus 7 that is AWOL after the 4.3 OTA update. My Nexus 4 is still there.

My Nexus 4 received the update first, and was still there after the update as I used the play site to find and install the Privacy manager app.

A few days later my Nexus 7 updated, and it is now missing from My Devices and the symptoms seem to be the same as everyone here is reporting with their N4.

So it seems that it's not just the N4 that is affected.

[Google Chromecast] Maggard:
If you're trying to be authoritative at least be accurate

Plex isn't "coming"; it's developers announced they were interested and would look at it.

They also noted they've a lot of projects in motion & any specific Chromecast support would likely have to wait it's turn for attention.

That's hardly "coming" & it's a disservice to the Plex developers & everyone else to misidentify it as such.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RunNgun42:
I mistakenly bought mobile odin pro thinking it was like CWM/TWRP. But it looks like it only supports some obscure .tar format that rom authors dont even use, which makes it about useless. So, what is this program even for? Most if not all roms are in zip format, not tar. So why would anybody use mobile odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tonytien:
It can be used to 'Odin' a recovery image such as TWRP or CWM, and flash stock firmware files that are in .tar format (just remove the .md5 at the end of a download I think, it might work with .tar.md5, not sure since I've used it only once or twice).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RunNgun42:
So it's a recovery meant to install other recoveries? Whats the point in that? You can install CWM/TWRP without mobile odin on any rooted S4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaneHusky:
It's not a recovery. Have you ever used Odin on a computer to flash a ROM, radio/modem, recovery, etc to your phone? This is just an on-device version of that. It doesn't require a PC and USB cable to use - a big plus if you need/want to flash something and you don't have a PC and/or USB cable handy. Another big plus is it does not increase your flash counter. You can find more info about it in its official thread, here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RunNgun42:
But it only flashes tar files, and most roms come in zip, right? I understand the whole flash counter thing, but what good is it besides flashing back to stock roms or something since the vast majority of roms arent even compatible with this thing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaneHusky:
As far as I can tell, the Pro version supports most zip files as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RunNgun42:
Hmm, I was too scared to try since every forum post mentions tar files. But a full blown recovery like CWP lets me perform nandroid backups right? I cant backup anything in Odin mobile can I? This also lets me restore nandroids in the event something goes horrible wrong
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KaneHusky:
Correct, recovery is the best(only?) way to perform nandroid backup/restores. And for most people, recovery is probably the preferred method of flashing since it has more flexibility. Mobile Odin would probably only come in handy a few times - at least that I can think of for myself. I have it installed but I've yet to use it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Odin and Recovery are two very different things for doing very different tasks.

They are not the same.

If you own any Samsung device, you should read up on Odin and what it does. It is a VERY useful tool.

Read this...

This is about the full PC versiono of Odin. It will help explain what it is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardlibeau:
Think it's kind of shaky myself used it once to flash a modem and it soft bricked stuck at boot screen. Had to system restore. Still have it on my phone but have lost a little trust in it since that happened.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
seeing that your having trouble understanding what odin is for, i suggest that you uninstall it, take it as a loss, and never use it, just to prevent brickings.

though if you read up on it, its a very useful tool for those that dont have computers or arent at a computer 24/7. worth every cent i paid for it, though i use it to flash modems 90% of the time, since ive had bad experiences with modems in .zip format
[HTC Droid DNA] battle1:
Hi there i was thinking of getting one of the two but i can't really decide and was wondering if it was possible to flash DNA roms on Butterfly since they're pretty much the same except for LTE?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
It's not like on the HTC One where Roms between versions are so universal and you can go back and fourth. Honestly if you're wanting to flash Roms id consider buying the next step up, an HTC One since it's this late in the game. However, I have a one and I use my DNA a lot because there are some great roms. It's a really nice device, due completely to the development community.
[HTC Droid DNA] _phoey:
I would think that ROMs for the two devices are most likely NOT completely backwards compatible, due to slight differences between the DNA/J Butterfly/DLX. If your educated in this kind of stuff, it probably wouldn't be that hard for you to port a Butterfly ROM to the DNA, and vice versa. Just don't expect a flawless bug-free experience with a ROM not even for your phone.

Keep in mind, the DNA and J-Butterfly are not identical. It's like the difference between the Samsung Fascinate and a Galaxy S i9000. The Fascinate is based on the i9000, but there are slight design tweaks that separate them.
[HTC Droid DNA] nitsuj17:
honestly it would not be prohibilitively hard to make a universal zip for roms between the butterfly variants and the dna, but w/o both devices (at least one butterfly variant and the dna) to test stuff and ensure compatibility most people wont want to do it

some devs might be ok w/ doing it blindly, others dont usually want to be bothered, especially since the butterfly has such a small (relatively) speaking root community that its not worth the extra effort
[HTC Droid DNA] battle1:
both the dna and butterfly are hard to find in my country so the moment i find either, then im going to buy it. I wish i could afford htc one but i cant afford it right now so i'll have to choose between the two. Im just sick of stock android and want to try something else but it wouldnt bother to havrthe option to install cyanogen mod whenever i want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
I'm new to rooting and the whole android scene. Just bought my s4 a month ago and rooted it this week. I've been trying to customize themes and icons and I know I need to deodex the files on my phone. I downloaded universal deodexer and dropped the files where I needed to but the program wouldn't run. My question is, is there any other way to deodex the files and how exactly do I locate them? Maybe I didn't locate the right ones.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 10ECN:
First off, its pretty cool that you are actually trying to learn what you are doing. The initial learning curve is pretty big but you will get the hang of it piece by piece. I can't speak for everyone but I as still learning and started with the Droid years ago. Take a look at this post for some useful info. Credit to Obsidian for the definitions and links. Just take note that some of his definition do not apply to this phone since it was created for the Bionic, but most of the info is helpful and universal.

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/28127-ob...omsrootwipthreadsguidessafestrap/#entry751016

Now, to answer your question. Honestly I would flash a pre-deodexed rom and use it to modify things. A few are in the Samsung Development section that are basically TouchWiz minus the bloat. You may even find one there that suits you perfectly with no extra modding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Yea I was trying to learn. Then I bricked my phone by trying to install a new font. Now waiting for a replacement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
unbrick...

check out the youtube channel of DroidModd3rX... find his video titled "Verizon Galaxy S4 How To Unbrick, Unroot, Return to Factory Set"... even if you don't have a Verizon GS4 this will help you if you bricked your device. If you have a different Carrier than verizon then check out "wwjoshdew" channel on youtube........ check out his video titled "How To Unroot and Flash your Galaxy S4 to Stock Android 4.2.2"..... I'm sorry i didn't find you earlier.:crying: ........ this might help you to not pay where you "voided your warranty... please please please do this if you can get your phone back from the company. It will re-warranty your device.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
It's ok, I found that video on you tube, and a couple others. I tried all their methods for I bricking, but to no avail. Now all it says is "firmware upgrade error. Please continue in Kies". But it won't let me do anything else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DJDyM:
Even ODIN? :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Yea i tried Odin, 3.07 and I tried three different stock images and none of them worked. It got to a part during the process that said "Auth (fail)" and then it would close out the program. I just got my replacement yesterday but I'm kind of afraid to root it again lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Although I would really like to root it again, since half of the stuff I used it for had nothing to do with what caused the problem in the first place. I was just really excited to download and install a custom room that didn't lag as much as this nonsense from Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goosedaddy:
Your original problem sounded like you were trying to flash the mdk firmware on a me7 firmware which would cause auth fail in odin.

But I couldnt find any info above. If you did the the me7 root method you wont have write permissions because boot loader is locked. which would brick your phone when you flash a rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Is the me7 root method the one that roots through the micro SD? Is there a way to do so and unlock the bootloader currently or has one not been released yet for the newest Verizon update?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goosedaddy:
if you did it through terminal then yes. you are on me7 which is why odin gave you problems. currently there is no way to unlock the bootloader. only the firmware previous to me7 can unlock it. So you might be stuck for a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Well that's kind of a drag. Installing custom ROMs is the only thing that an unlocked bootloader does? Or is there another reason to root the phone now instead of waiting for a root that unlocks it? Sorry for all of the questions...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
update when you got your phone?

did you update to the new update that the phone was bugging you about when you first got your phone? if yes, then, YOU CANNOT FLASH ANYTHING! OR IT WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE:eek:. if you haven't, then, thank the good Lord that you didn't fall into the samsung trap. you can check on Settings/mydevice/about_phone/Build_Number.... i believe the last frace would say me7... if then, you're kinda screwed for now... if you have something else than youre ok:good:... If you're verizon you WANT TO HAVE "MDK" as your last 3 characters on your build number. MDK=:angel: ......Good luck!:laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goosedaddy:
root still lets you uninstall or freeze that bloatware on your phone. Only thing I used iy for anyways. have about an extra 400mb of ram freed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
Well that is good to know in case I decide to go through with rooting again. Is there a way to uninstall that update? Or am I stuck waiting for a new method to root the phone that allows flashing? I might root again just to have some of the apps like gmd gesture and greenify.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goosedaddy:
no you cant do anything right now besides the root. cant uninstall because the bootloader is locked.

some rooted apps are nice to have. just gonna have to wait patiently
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
In that case, are there any apps you would suggest getting that won't destroy my phone again? I checked online for a list of must-have apps but half of them were directed at people who were experienced with rooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] goosedaddy:
I would just get titanium backup for now. and remove some bloatware a safelist can be found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314265 would not experiment with deleting random things it could cause brick problems nothing much else. if you are not comfortablr with that just try and wait for bootloader to be unlocked which has no eta
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Anthony825:
I may just do that. If I were to root again on me7 since there's no unlock method, if one were to be released would I be screwed or is there normally a way to do that at a different time than the root?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thepianoman77:
Go to wwjoshdew channel on you tube and search the 45 minute instructions to Titanium Backup! That is the best app if youre rooted... it just makes rooting worth it. Seriously... just for that app I would do it..

Sounds like a plan! I also managed to fix my original S4. Now I don't feel as uneasy about rooting again lol. I just know now not to flash anything until an unlocked bootloader is released.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
You can do them separately they dont have to be done at the same time. Even if it were the case they had to be done at the same time you could revert to stock or unroot and restart the process.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] babyshrimps:
You can't.

You can call Sprint and they can unlock it for you or you can purchase an already unlocked phone.

YES Sprint phones ARE international CAPABLE but have a CDMA CARD. Get it unlocked through SPRINT.

The carrier must unlock your SIM to have GSM capabilities. Period.

There's no magical code, no night gnome who can give you international capabilities, there is no work around. Your card defines your capabilities.

Glad we got that cleared up. Lets stop asking now, shall we? Please?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] autoprime:
This is wrong. You can. Just won't work on AT&T and T-Mobile USA. Every other SIM(international) is unlocked for use as long as the SIM slot itself is unlocked.

Interesting. I'll let my co workers at Sprint know :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] babyshrimps:
If that was the case more people would be saying "Go into settings and unlock UICC and bam all set international."

The very first releases from Samsung to Sprint - like mine - were actually international, however most of the employees scooped the oops devices. Those purchased at Best Buy still have intermittent unlocked devices 1:20). In the chance you got lucky then NO we don't need to unlock it but yes, for 90% of the S IV population yes, unfortunately there's a very good chance we do. If this was the case the threads would have ceased to continue resurfacing.

So either tell the people so they stop asking or continue ignoring them.
