Hi, I have a startrail 4 smartphone running android 4.2 (I think it is made by ZTE) and suddenly it has stopped allowing any apps to install. It is probably something I did but I just cannot get it working properly again.
At present it will connect to my internet and will work on FB and other sites. Most of my apps are still on my sd card but are not picked up by the phone. Play store will not work and I cannot even load any apps such as apk installer. The phone is rooted.
It will not connect with my phone provider either although the sim card is fine as I have it in an older phone for now. Any ideas anyone please.
 
Google in all its wisdom has decided that you cannot install apps on MicroSD cards anymore. Back in 2013 when SFR released the Startrail 4 this wasn't an issue but now unfortunately it is..
 
You say you're rooted. Did you use that power to uninstall any pre installed apps?
And will play allow you to install apps on internal storage?
 
Best bet will be to check the Zte site for a factory rom for your phone and some kind of pc flash tool to reflash your phone
