I rooted my Samsung galaxy s3 by T-Mobile last night, now everytime i try to download an app like faceniff, or beats audio it says download unsuccessful, from 4 shared or any other apk app place, is this a problem with memory on phone or other problem, thanks,


Did you flash a rom? If so, male sure you flashed the correct gapps.

Did you ever have this problem fixed please let me know as I am having same problem

I bet if we did this my way i'd win a bet saying this will be one of the fastest way to fix the problem.


The fact is that something funky happened. This phone isn't like Windows where you have warehouse's filled with diagnostic programs. Mostly it is pertinent you find the root cause. Mostly....

Honestly, what i recommend, performing a back up your texts with SMS BACKUP+ since they back them up directly to your GMAIL.

NOW:

NANDROID BACKUP

I'd install your Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers, plug it in and make sure it recognizes it, unplug it, then plug it in again, then following these instructions the best that you possibly can at the site below but beware

Those are stock images. And if you EVER flash anything Over ANYTHING that sais 4.3 (except custom ROMS) then do not ever flash a ROM lower than 4.3 to it. You've been warned.

If you have NOT flashing anything with the KNOX bootloader i'm sure you could download and ODIN a "Prerooted" version. Just find an "Older" name from the site above and google search a "Pre-rooted) version so that you can ODIN it.

Go here and make sure whatever image you flash it should be able to be rooted by this (Except the very very new and recent stuff) Supported devices and latest supported builds | SkipSoft.net

Basically, i'd give up on trying to find the root cause and nuke the issue. Save as much data you can. NANDROID etc.

Good luck!
