Yesterday I got my FP3 working again following @Pilo11 's steps in this post.
I also disabled Google updates as @anon9989719 suggested in this post.
I note under Google play store I have > Advanced > Modify System settings > Not allowed.
My phone then worked for the rest of the evening. Over night I turned on flight mode as I do every night. Then in the morning I turned off flight mode and started browsing this thread to see whether there was any news regarding this issue. Within 5 minutes the reset loop started again.
I now reapplied @Pilo11 's and @anon9989719 's advice. In addition I also disabled Google Play Store background data usage as @Jonibhoni suggests in this post and disabled automatic updates in Google Play Store as described here.
Let’s see how long this fix lasts. Thank you all for your helpful contributions!
EDIT:
24 hours later my phone is still up and happy. In addition to the steps above I also completely deactivated Google Play Store in the App info (long press the Google Play Store icon and then press the circled i to access the App info).
I have the same problem since this morning. Tried safe mode, didn’t help, so it wouldn’t be any app, I think.
I live in Sweden, Telenor is my service provider.
Hey, Could sb help me pls? Idk why but the last line doesnt work. It just shows me that there is sth wrong with it. What can I do?
adb install -d com.google.android.gms_22.02.21_(150408-428111784)-220221039_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
Are you running this command via the Windows command line?
If so, you’ll need to quote the filename: adb install -d "com.google.android.gms_22.02.21_(150408-428111784)-220221039_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk"
If using a different OS (e.g. Linux, MacOS), you’ll need to escape the brackets: adb install -d com.google.android.gms_22.02.21_\(150408-428111784\)-220221039_minAPI30\(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a\)\(480dpi\)_apkmirror.com.apk
Additionally ensure that the APK file is saved to your working directory.
Try running in cmd instead of pwsh.
Also use this version of the command (quotes, no character escaping on brackets): adb install -d "com.google.android.gms_22.02.21_(150408-428111784)-220221039_minAPI30(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(480dpi)_apkmirror.com.apk"
Some news reagrding the issue returning once you temporarily fixed it:
Unfortunately deactivating background data was not enough!
Well, seems clear, blocking mobile data (in background) doesn’t prevent updates over regular WiFi .
So I guess in order to prevent Google Play Services to update to the buggy version again you either need to deactivate Play Store background data + turn off WiFi, …or outright deactivate Play Store altogether!
Thanks @Jonibhoni . My phone just started boot looping again so I came to see if there was an update. By deactivating Google Play Store, do you mean disabling the app or completely uninstalling it?
EDIT: never mind, I re-read your original post and you clearly say to disable it. Thanks again!
Hi there, I have this problem since this morning in The Netherlands. I am trying to follow your tips. But can’t even get the USB debugging enabled. In your tutorial there is the option ‘developer options’ in ‘advanced’, but I don’t have that option. Then what to do? Can you please help? Thanks so much!!
Thank you @anon9989719 . I read your post where you mention you completely removed it. Would this be the correct adb command?
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.vending
Hi I’m not sure of the app title but this is an example of one of my removals
-k (keep any data incase I want to go back the the previous version)
–user 0 (remove for the default user only)
Hi Jonibhoni, thanks for the advice. I managed to deactivate Google Play Store within the 10sec time frame. Now it disappeared from the app list but the problem remains… Any suggestions? Thanks again!
