Resolved [RESOLVED] Google play system update breaking system on venus
- Thread starter kearmau5
- Start date
Ok but I don't know if I can even the recovery it's in Chinese, and that's not a permanent solution, that's why I'm asking if there's other permanent solution for this or if there's any change to switch the Rom into a Global Rom
here in the video you can switch to english or other langages

Thank you very much for sharing the solution and the steps to follow... it worked on my poco x3 pro.
Just wanted to confirm that the above fix did the trick on Xiaomi 13 running stable 14.0.31.0 (kudos to Mr. @kearmau5)!

Resolved - [RESOLVED] Google play system update breaking system on venus
the google play system update is getting downloaded automatically and breaking camera, sound, haptics, flash and no social media app can load photos or videos, on latest 14.0.10.0 for my mi11(venus) each time i need to format data for this issue which wastes my time making backup each time. is...

so far is it still coming back after you have wiped your data? or still tracking bro?
You can find instructions on various Xiaomi/MIUI named forums (methods are general, you must only care to download proper packages)
In very short, find and download the FASTBOOT/TGZ ROM package (not Recovery/zip - it won't be enough to switch the ROM) for your model ( from the names choose do you want CN, Global, EEA, etc)
Use MiFlash to flash it. You must have Fastboot drivers etc working
Choose options to include Factory Resetting (Formating Data) - and DO NOT enable relocking of Bootloader
Only once you flash, when you reboot to the System and make sure that everything is ok, then you can relock Bootloader - otherwise, if you choose to lock BL and flash eg by mistake wrong ROM, you would have your phone hard-bricked
You can also find instructions elswhere how to unpack TGZ and find inside scripts for manual flashing from Fastboot (similarly like installing Xiaomi.eu from Fastboot)
Good days everyone. I got problem like I can't use my camera, can't play any kind of videos include YouTube app etc also from gallery. It often freeze if I got call. Can't take video call. And always getting error notification like "MIUI+ beta stop working" It happened few days ago and I'm still trying to use my phone like this. So I wanna update my phone to fix this problem. My question is what should I do to update my phone. When I click update it say it's up to date. But when I open vpn, it showed me there is an 5.5gb update. I download that update and click "install" but after that just my phone restart and nothing happened. What should I do how I can install that update? That update file on my phone in zip.
I love you man! You saved my day! Di deleted it using twrp and all seem normal
What phone and ROM do you have? You will need TWRP to delete 2 files that are causing these issues:
com.android.media.swcodec(at)340818112.apex
com.android.media@xxxx.apex (be careful with this one, copy it in your internal storage since if could give you bootloops when deleted, not my case though)
Here is how you find them

i have the k60 pro also. i found the files and delete it. It solve the problems for me.
Those facing issues with alarm clock using Nature or Weather ringtone (alarms go off silent), you can workaround the problem by applying same fix to another apex file: 'com.android.media@340922012.apex' found in the same directory (/data/apex/active)

Thought the op says one file which is com.android.media.swcodec@xxx.apex
The second one is in case the system still presents some issues. In my case I couldn't upload videos to Whatsapp or Insta for example and all showed 0 seconds for duration and the dates for all were december 31 1969
Same issue I'm having can not upload video to WhatsApp.
Thanks I will try to delete the second file
Wish i saw this thread before I've updated manually yesterday the solution mentioned here fixed the problems but if someone finds permanent solution please let us know
As far as I understood, the solution is that a new firmware based on Android 14 will be released. There will probably no longer be a version based on Android 13.

I don't think so, A14 is still on its Alpha stage and only few devices getting beta build for testing purposes, this issuw should be fixed for next update for users with builds before 13 September patch
Hi @kearmau5 i have opened the folders from twrp but in my data folder there seems to be no apex folder...
I am using a mi 10 ultra running in eu stable rom 14.0.2.0
has anyone resolved this issue??

For those still wandering around:
-for a solution...
-for an explanation...
-for someone that makes it worth all the strugle to make the camera and flash work again (animal, human, plant, rock or UFO)...
-for justice...
-for information...
-for a team with a leader capable of starting that long-awaited revolution against the oligarchy that runs the large digital companies and which you will only observe from your screen in case they move or are more than 100 steps away from your location...
...let me tell you that they do exist, as long as the multiverse is valid.
And just for the record, I had the same issues (my phone getting slower with some apps like the browsers, the camera totally black, the flash icon disabled but when entering the CIT, it worked fine, while other things that worked fine failed their tests, randomly double rebooting, etc.) and also without ROOT and without TWRP installed.
After reading the whole posts, their links and the comments, make this post my evidence in which I state:
+Issue: After a Google Play Protect and/or Google Play System Update that required me to reboot, the symptoms in blue started to manifest
+Device: Ingres
+ROM: V14.0.10.0.TLJCNXM donwloaded from this forum
+Responsible of bootloop in Fastboot: Me
+Why?: Because I know programming and the computers and electronic devices do as I say (but not what I want)
+How it complicated: Nothing new, uninstalled things I did't want to, blamed other stuff that had nothing to do and erased them, added what I belived was the alchemical solution for all those symptoms, and then came the fastboot loop...
+Solution: Here, in this thread, there are good end experienced users (I'm not one of them) that already posted how to flash TWRP (spoiler: the post even includes the different methods by device, and spoiler2: also says how to undo whatever you did if you READ the whole post/answers) which is the FASTEST and WITH NO DATA LOSS solution when you follow simple steps, after reading them completelly at least once.
+Complications?: Yes, it was all in chinese when it rebooted into TWRP
+Solved? : Yes, here in this thread is also posted what to do and how to fix that, end even without the translation, someone else already posted with images/screenshots the position of the buttons to follow (we talk about translations, not positional GUI changes, keep that in mind)
So my final words are: I'm not gonna reference their posts (mainly because I don't know how to, and spent the whole night making my phone working again because #work #money #1amcrazy #IsaidIwasntGoodToo) and because, repeat it again would lost the point of my post/answer, which is "read..."

Faced same problems as described above, many apps wouldn't load (Firefox, Reddit, Youtube wouldn't work) Even the Gallery and Camera apps won't open (black screen).
Luckily, I was already Rooted and had TWRP in the recovery partition, so my story wasn't as convoluted.
I resorted to delete "com.android.media.swcode(at)XXXXXXXXX.apex" using my file explorer and even though it was named differently from the OP, after rebooting my device returned to normal.
Key takeaway from the replied post: Please do read and perform the steps stated as closely as possible, I speak from experience when I say that deleting files in a system root folder is always a risk, but following instructions should be safe enough for most.
Just hoping more people find this solution, since this random update affecting many people.
