two possible steps
1. wipe data / factory reset in case the google apps corrupted the phone at the data level
2. flash system.img from stock ROM in case its a system partition crash
i would go with 2 first.
supply a gmail address for our M7 stock backup

granted! download @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-311.html and flash only system.img (Android) using Sp flash tool @ https://www.hovatek.com/forum/thread-159.html
let me know how it goes
(26-04-2015, 08:56 AM)Soul after flashing, logo-preloading screen was different from the usual (old?) one.
phone is back up now.
though the error messages of before the crash still keep popping-up: that of 'google play has stopped' , 'google play services has stopped', as well as that one application or the other 'has stopped'.
will attempt to quickly backup all relevant data on the phone now to pc (while the phone is alive).
do you suggest a data wipe perhaps ?
