Composer update breaks the website Laravel 5.2 - laravel

Question

I accidentally run composer update which breaks my website. I am using Laravel 5.2. Now, I am getting this error
ErrorException in EventServiceProvider.php line 8:
Declaration of
App\Providers\
EventServiceProvider::boot(Illuminate\Contracts\Events\ Dispatcher $events) should be compatible with
Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider::boot()
I tries to remove arguments from EventServiceProvider like this
/**
* Register any other events for your application.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher $events
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
parent::boot();
//
}
EventServiceProvider before changes:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher as DispatcherContract;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\EventServiceProvider as
ServiceProvider;
class EventServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* The event listener mappings for the application.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $listen = [
'App\Events\SomeEvent' => [
'App\Listeners\EventListener',
],
];
/**
* Register any other events for your application.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Contracts\Events\Dispatcher $events
* #return void
*/
public function boot(DispatcherContract $events)
{
parent::boot($events);
//
}
and from RouteServiceProvider.php
/**
* Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Routing\Router $router
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
//
parent::boot();
}
RouteServiceProvider before changes:
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Illuminate\Routing\Router;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Support\Providers\RouteServiceProvider as
ServiceProvider;
class RouteServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
/**
* This namespace is applied to your controller routes.
*
* In addition, it is set as the URL generator's root namespace.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $namespace = 'App\Http\Controllers';
/**
* Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Routing\Router $router
* #return void
*/
public function boot(Router $router)
{
//
parent::boot($router);
}
Now, I am getting this error:
BadMethodCallException in Macroable.php line 74:
Method controllers does not exist.
Please help me. Thank you.

Based on the comments and discussion, you've somehow ended up updating your Laravel framework to 5.3.31 which has breaking changes with 5.2. The solution would to be to either downgrade to the latest version under 5.2 or upgrade the complete application to 5.3 following the upgrade guide.
To fix with the downgrade replace the current framework package in composer.json with "laravel/framework": "5.2.*", and run composer update
