It seems this all connects to the SD-card not being writeable. I thought I updated the platform.xml properly, but I had two “” instead of one ". I corrected that, now the app can be reinstalled.
Can the platform.xml be updated from TWRP before the reboot?
Glad this worked for you ! You could build a custom .zip to flash from TWRP but the most simple would probably be to backup your platform.xml on your computer as platform.xml and write a small script that does the following :
And run it from your computer each time you upgrade. Another way would be to use a shell script on the phone (that could actually be fun oneliner using sed).
The first line allows for backup of your platform.xml at the root of your internal storage, thus it’s not exactly mandatory
plain build in updater user - no real trouble during the update - just no real “visible results” - I do get the reported “clock time error” and I still have trouble with the calendar. It would help me a lot to know at least where to pose that kind of question - as apparently that place is not here on the forum.
[no random reboots so far, so the wrong time setting isn’t causing trouble - yet]
This two strange screens at the update module are gone and it looks o. k. now. But I didn’t change anything to get it right. Quite mysterious, this change!
I didn’t find any solution with problems with Google Play Store and F-Droid store, I described before. What I have found is another store “APKPure”, which offers a lot of apps you find at the Google Play Store, but not at F-Droid. But I don’t know at all, how trustworthy this store is. It also shows updates, if there are newer versions of installed apps, but I can’t update all of it. May be, that is because I installed these apps from other stores originally?
When I try to open the Google Play Store, now I always get the message “Google Play Store wurde beendet (= has closed)” and I can’t use it.
With F-Droid it’s the same as before. When I try to download an app, I always get the message “F-Droid ist abgestürzt (= has crashed)”, but with answering “OK” and a second try it works.
Any suggestions, what could be the source for this behave??? I already cleared the app cache and reinstalled the store apps, without success.
I uninstalled F-Droid, loaded it down again at the desktop computer, transferred it via USB to the FP2 and installed it again. Result: Same error, behaves as before.
Since the update, I can’t connect my phone to my PC anymore. It only works, if I choose the “Mount SD Card” option, but then I can’t get to the internal storage anymore. Does anybody know what to do?
Again, it is better now, but not o.k… F-Droid works, but Google Play Store doesn’t: I can see and choose any of all the apps, but I can’t download or update any of it. The download process starts, runs and runs and runs and ends with an error message: “Download not possible” or something like that. Deleting the cache didn’t help.
On the other side: APKPure works.
Any other suggestions what I could try to get the Play Store running?
Have tested everything listed in that post at least twice without luck. I have now been asked to send back my phone to get it replaced so I guess my phone is a lost cause. Support have really been fast this time so guess they really have worked their way through the backlog which is nice to see
