[Q] HELP! Droid Bionic cant open Play store! - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am on verizons network (Trying to use wifi) I own the Droid Bionic with firmware 4.1.2.
Well today I rooted, everything was working perfectly. However after 2-4 hours after rooting, my wifi went from connected to in range and my play store wouldnt connect at all, using wifi or data. I figured the root was messing it up so I did a factory reset to help get rid of it, root seems to be gone, but now I cant sign up/in the google play store. I get an error message saying, " Cant establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call customer care." I have no idea what this means and I am getting to annoyed, I got this phone yesterday 5/16 today is the 17th... My wifi bar is gray which means "in range"when it should be blue "connected" When I look at my wifi settings my internet says it is connected however. Any ideas at all???? Please help!! Also I did change date and time to moscow to try and use freedom for app purchases, I changed it back to automatic date, time, and timezone.

If your root is gone after a factory reset, then you weren't rooted correctly in the first place (edit: if your rooting process involved downloading SuperSU or the equivalent through the Play Store, then just sideload the apk since you can't get to the Play Store as the SU binary will still be installed and that combined with the re-installed app should establish root access again). A factory reset does not change your rooted status. As far as the Google Apps not working...it's most likely due to a modded hosts file. Either from an ad blocking program, or the Freedom Play Store patcher. Re-root and delete the hosts file in /system/etc and reboot.

I was rooted before I am not anymore says root checker. I used this method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256439
When I run the program to try and root again it says invalid IP address now. Idk what's going on with this phone now

Like I said, you just need to install the SuperSU app. The binary has to already still be in /system/bin or /system/xbin, whereever that one installs it. So once you install the companion app, it should recognize that the binary is installed and provide you with root access again.

[Q] Unlocking messed up my network.

I have Tmobile and it worked perfect before this. usually had full bars, etc.
after this i dont have anything.. just shows a x(0 bars.). went to apn and tried to fix it and nothing. reinstalled greyblur and nothing. did full wipe and nothing..
about 10 minutes later i got a couple facebook notifications. and saw i had 1 bar! i got excited and then it went back down to x... WTF. went to apn settings and such and it doesnt even show Tmobile network. only i can pick between 2 ATT networks. under signal settings or whatever it says im connected to ATT. I have noo clue what is going on.
Can someone help me please?? Would flashing the stock 1.83 help?? Thanks.
Did you do a backup of /DATA?

no, i did not. if you mean titanium back up then yes. i followed the instructions on briefmobile..
edit: how would that effect networks or whatever it did..?
wooooow.. xD i just pluged my phone into my computer while having motorola software update started and i have full bars now.. this is very weird.
I dont know if i should be happy or worried LOL
I think I'm having a similar issue. The network is working after unlocking but I can't add my Google account, so I'm locked out of the Android Market and Gmail etc..
I am getting the message "Can't establish reliable connection" when I try to add my Google account to the phone.
I have read that the only solution to this is to do a hard reset. If I have unlocked am I safe to do a hard reset?
My other thought was to re-root and restore the Titanium Backup I took before unlocking. Maybe the system settings I saved would fix it? However when I go reboot to Fastboot and try ADB shell it no longer finds my device (USB debugging is enabled and my drivers must be up to date if I rooted three days ago).
If the easiest thing to do is just hard reset I will do that I just need to know whether it is safe after unlocking. I feel like unlocking may have interfered with whatever the phone uses to communicate with servers but I have no clue if that is possible.
Edit: I was able to root again, had not realized ADB will not work from the fastboot screen. fastboot devices showed my phone. I got rooted, side loaded Titanium Backup and BusyBox. Now I am restoring my apps and settings, I will report back if the problem with signing into Google is resolved.

Titanium Backup Restore is done now but I am not out of the water yet. I have all of my applications back and in settings under Accounts I have all of my accounts listed now, but when I launch Android Market or Gmail both applications crash. I tried to add another Gmail account to the phone and when I click Next to begin logging in, I immediately get the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" screen, along with an error dialog saying Gmail has stopped unexpectedly.
I can't tell if this means I got further or am really in the same spot as before
So... can anyone answer the question of whether I am safe to do a hard reset after unlocking and rooting?

The problem I run into when using Titanium Backup, is that it restores the app and the data associated with the app, and the data caused force closes for the market (Play in my case) and other apps. Try clearing the cache for them. (From the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "App" > Clear Data)

I've honestly never tried it, but hard-reset appears to be the equivalent to wiping cache (and dalvik) and re-flashing. You might try wiping your cache and dalvik cache and flashing the ROM again. Trying a "factory" restore after modifying the factory data on your phone doesn't seem like it would work.

I did "Clear Data" for Gmail and Market (that is what it is called in my applications list, but the icon says Play).
Gmail is working again! The Market/Play app still gets to a white screen and says "Loading" with the whirly icon then goes away without any information. I see another item in the application list called Google Play Services, should I clear that data as well?

You shouldn't have to. If you're seeing a long loading screen, be patient. If it shows market in one spot and Google Play in another, it's probably trying to update.

I decided to try side-loading the Google Play Store since the market is no longer used. I got the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836057.
Now it loads but tells me Authentication is Required. Please sign in. I checked the accounts in the menu and my google account is selected, so I'm not sure what the problem is since Gmail is fine with the account now.

Where did you start in all this? Were you on a custom ROM and are now trying to get back to stock? Are you on stock and trying to unlock the bootloader or root? The direction you're going will help determine what you may or may not want to try next.

I am getting help from you in two separate posts it looks like so I will just consolidate to this thread, I apologize for posting all over the place just hoping to knock this out before the weekend is over.
I started with the official Gingerbread ROM from Motorola. I rooted, then unlocked, then rooted again.
My goal is to end up on an ICS ROM but I would like to get a good back up of the stock ROM first, so I want to knock this problem out, back it up, then flash to a custom ROM. You suggested going ahead and flashing the custom rom, I am just worried about making the problem worse by doing that.
The only problem I am noticing is that I cannot get into the Play Store, and I still get the Can't Establish Reliable connection message when trying to add a Google account. However, Gmail is working now but I can't add another account. I have connected to Wifi and I am still having the problem while connected.

If you side-loaded Google Play, try clearing any cache (App Data) for it as well. I don't know why your market/play is acting up if all you did was root > unlock > root. Assuming you have flashed CWM Recovery, you may end up having to get Google Apps (usually called gapps) and installing them as a zip to correct this. If so, here are the steps:
Get them from here or browse them all http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and get the ones you want.
Load them onto the root directory of the phone's SD Card (not the internal memory).
Reboot into Recovery
Choose the option "Install Zip from SD Card" using the volume keys and the lock button
Scroll down to gapps-gb-tegra-20110118-signed.zip (or whichever one you got if you browsed them) and hit the lock button
Scroll down to whichever one says "Yes" in the midst of all the "No"s (I think that's how they're listed)
Reboot when the install is finished. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two.

I'm going to try the Gapps install, but I am having an issue flashing CWM apparently. I follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 but I am still not seeing Clockwork Mod Recovery. When I reboot, hold volume down, go to Android Recovery and press up, I still see the Android/Triangle/Exclamation point icon. Press volume down and up and see a blue menu with three or 4 options but none are Install from SD, so I am guessing I'm not successfully flashing CWM.
Edit: I did not delete the system/etc/install-recovery.sh file before flashing CWM. I am trying to do that then flash again, but ES File Explorer will not let me delete the file. My super user may need to be updated, but since I can't connect to the store it won't do it on its own.
I resolved the the issue with CWM thanks to Zestar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423&page=16
I just have to reflash every time until I decide to go for the custom rom. I installed GAPPS from CWM Recovery but I am still having the same issue with being told i need to authenticate my account.
I got a ROM backup while in CWM as well so I think at this point I will just flash a custom rom and see where that gets me. Since I got a copy of the rom I should be able to return to this point in time anyways (could be wrong though )
Thanks for your help, I will report back once I have flashed to a new ROM and see what happens.
I didn't get this done before the weekend was up but got time tonight and flashed to the TopSmarts GingerBread ROM (it is really cool to me, a first time custom rom-er). I was able to get set up on e-mail (don't have a Gmail app loaded yet) but Play Store - which I had to side load - is crashing when I try to add an account still.
I flashed the Gapps from above after flashing the new ROM but none of them showed up when the phone booted into the rom for the first time. Do I need to do something other than install from CWM?
Edit: I flashed the Gapps from TopSmarts and rebooted and was able to get Play Store running. It had a minor hiccup and repeated the sign in process a few times but now it is updating my apps. I am happy with the world again, thank you for your help.

Glad you got it working. I've never seen the TopSmarts ROM as I am also very new to the custom ROM world. I flashed CyanogenMod 7 Nightly (I didn't know Nightly versions were beta until after I flashed it), and I love it! It took me a couple of tries to get the gapps working too, but once they worked, I haven't really had a problem since.

First I would recommend making sure you have a network connection either through Wifi or cellular data. If that doesn't solve the problem going into application manager and then find the Market and clear the applications cache and data. Another possible fix would be running the fix permissions utility in recovery.
well i do got connection from a wifi or cellular data,but the problem persist when i try to use a market,when i'm downloading programs over market,than the message pops out saying to check the network connection, can you explain to me how do i clear the applications data from market, and how do i run the FIX PERMISSIONS..my phone is rooted.

To clear the cache and data for the Market open settings then navigate to application manager then select the all tab find the Market then select it you should then see the option to clear data and cache. For fix permissions you can boot into recovery go under the advanced section then select the the fix permissions option.

For backing up all your apps including system apps I would recommend taking a look at Titanium Backup. Your contacts can automatically be backed up through your Google account and can then easily be restored by signing into your Google account when setting up your ROM.

You definitely do not want to restore your system apps unless you know with certainty what you're doing. Many from stock will not function properly on Cyanogen and will cause looping Force Closes and may cause issues to the point that you have to do a Data Reset.
You should back up your contacts through another app or as an xml file and restore that way.

The Universal Inbox is a part of Motorola Blur and would not be compatible with CM 7 without heavy porting. You would have to use a Motorola Blur based ROM for the Universal Inbox apk.

I would recommend taking a look at this fix for the MAC address issue your having it's for the Droid Pro but should work for your Droid 2 as well.

WiFi connection but no internet.

I recently restored my old inactive CMDA Sprint Evo 3D back to stock 2.17.
After booting it up, I connected to WiFi and successfully obtained an IP and connected.
I am restored to fully stock with S-Off with a Locked bootloader.
When I try to open the market or web browser I don't have internet.
The web browser says "Web page not available".
I am connected to the WiFi network on other phones and this computer, so internet is working.
Tried multiple PG86 .zip restores and RUU .exe restores.
Even wiped /Data, /System, /Cache and then restored using the PG86 .zip, so there were no files that might be left behind causing issues.
Can anyone help me fix my WiFi issue?
More info please
Thank you for the reply but that's really all that I have.
It's a Sprint CDMA Evo 3D currently restored to stock using RUU_Shooter_ICS_35_S_Sprint_WWE_2.89.651.2_Radio_1.09.00.0706__NV_NV_SPCS_1.43_release_271101_signed.exe.
During setup, I connect to my WiFi and it connects successfully and shows full WiFi bars in the notification bar. I also tried skipping wifi during setup then connecting normally from the wifi in the settings menu.
When I try to use the internet, nothing will connect. Browser wont load a page and play store wont connect, wont even log into my google account.
Feels like the phone is blocking internet access, like though a firewall or hosts, but it doesn't have any additional apps installed and the hosts file is original stock since my /system partition is locked from the restore.
I just did the HTC official bootloader unlock, thinking the wire trick unlock may have been causing it, but it didn't help.
What other info would be useful?
EDIT: Just flashed CyanogenMod 11 with Android 4.4.4 and WiFi is working. No idea why stock won't work but AOSP does.

permissions

permissions ....when i got the phone the other day it logged onto the elephone website.....but now it just says some app permissions are denied change them in "settings apps"..... so i look but it wont let me change anything.
so what am i missing?
just to get it to log onto data services was a hassle as it only wanted to use wifi..... since i have unlimited data on my contract its never an issue what i do with my phone, but it just denies me all sorts of access. i want to like the phone but its just giving me grief. do i root it and install eregon?
I've had no problems like this on latest stock ROM. I'd try a factory reset first, were it me.

Q - Android 10 Apps loading error

Hi,
Just installed a fresh android Q rom on my Sammy note 9 (exynos; with august security update).
Everything is working properly besides a few local apps that required internet access (which is working properly).
I receive an error message stating that the app "failed to load. Try again later".
Any Ideas how to fix this issue?
I tried restart, power off, reinstall, delete app cache and data. install again but nothing worked.
Maybe the apps are not compatible with the august update (not yet available in my country)?
Also, I can't open Netflix as well - the app installs but when I open it I get an error.
Finally, does anyone know how to make the navigation bar black / dark mode on all apps?
Thanks!
With regards to "failed to load try again later" error:
Contact the developer of the apps in question

Well, waiting for the developers to respond/fix may take ages...
Any ideas on my end?
The cause for the error mentioned is that apps in question try to download ( additional / updated ) resources via Wi-Fi connection from the WEB, what fails.
BTW:
When you have Wi-Fi turned on, your phone automatically connects to nearby Wi-Fi networks you've connected to before. May be these saved networks became invalid. Hence you can try to remove all saved networks, then add a new one.
