I'm getting this error. I am not rooted. I have tried every fix I've seen on google. I even removed the SD card and the problem still persists. The SD card ins't even in the device and I still get the error. One thing I have noticed is my media storage does not have an option to disable. I'm running out of options and can't figure out how to get rid of this error. I am unable to download anything. from files form email, from dropbox, mega and I cannot download any update from the play store. I tried a factory reset and nothing. I know this problem may have something to do with download manager and media storage but I can't get anything to work :( running android 5.0 please help

I want to just get another one but I'm afraid this could be tied to my profile

Edit: come to find out, the problem is with android 5.0. There is an issue where the download manager and device storage apps aren't syncing up. And the fix is found in.......you guess it.........android 5.1, which this device has never gotten. I know there is a custom rom for android 5.1 floating around. Could anyone just point me in the direction of the custom rom and a guide on rooting this device? I used odin a long time ago when this device was on 4.4 but I'm sure it's different now on 5.0.

Hya Toph,

I'm not far from you... Im still on 4.4 Kitkat Killer by Josh and love it but only now is it showing some limits so Ive been looking.

This seems to be the most popular forum..

If you decide to take the plunge let me know how it goes!

I was using that ROM for 6 months with no issues.

Only thing I didn't like was the stock sms app is messed up and you have to use textra. I even tried another sms app like signal and it also didn't work correct.

There is a similar build called Darklord Reborn by mid3vil. The post claims the stock sms app works. However, the link to the file is dead at the moment.

There is also a post called Lots of ROMs 7.1 by NMBNMB that seems promising. I started dabbling into a couple.

Hope this helps.

I love textra and using it now so no biggie..

Do you have a link to the Lots of Roms forum?

Let me know if you get one that you would recommend.

Looking these over, it seems like they are all for hlte and not hltespr... Sprint being a CDMA based system may not want to play nice. It seems like Resurection Remix had more luck in this , but even there the OP crossed out the Sprint variant working on this.

I hear Sprint may be merging/bought up soon and so perhaps there may be a change in the bandwidth that will be allowed for us users?

Agreed. Like I said Sprint Users Rejoice worked well for me.
