google play balance - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've already searched the internet and forums and can't find a answer to my problem. Whenever I try to buy a paid app using my $25 Google play credits, it gives me an error that says "Error, your order could not be processed" on every paid app I try to download. Any advice? Anyone else having the same issue?

Try clearing app cache?

Are you rooted? Have you updated SU binaries and installed BusyBox?
I've noticed sometimes after a fresh root if I haven't updated SU and Busy Box I can't purchase apps from the play store.

Nope, I'm not rooted. Yet but I'll try clearing the app cache and go from there.

Googles servers could have been buggy in your area. Could be simple like restarting or yeah clearing cache. Or try downloading with one of your other devices see if it's secluded to only your device.

Try buying from the play store on your computer

How to remove root (un-root) device without clearing apps and data?

I have an app that refuses to run because my Nexus 7 is rooted. So I would like to remove root and keep this app installed.

Not tried it my self but on SuperSU Play description it says that if you uninstall it, you will lose root:
NOTICE: A SPECIAL PROCEDURE IS NEEDED FOR UNINSTALLATION. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THE APP, DO *NOT* JUST UNINSTALL IT, YOU *WILL* LOSE ROOT.
I would guess that if you have Super User installed, it would do the same thing.
I tried the "temp unroot" function of the superuser app and the app still recognized the root and refused to run.
I will try un-installing superuser now. Thanks for the idea, I will report back.

Some applications I believe look for the superuser application by name. So if it sees "superuser.apk" on the system it won't run. However, I know some in the past were able to be worked around by renaming the superuser application.
I don't know if this is still a valid method, but...yeah.

Try an app called OTA Root Keeper (voodoo). It will temp unroot. You then need to normally force close the app you are talking about and the run it and it should work.
When you are done if you use a lot of root apps you can the undo the temp unroot and be back to full root.
Some versions of su have that ability now too but I've not tried them yet... don't really have anything that cares if I am rooted any more.

I've tried using the temp-unroot feature of the superuser app and I was not able to do so. I wish I knew what this app was looking for.

Download supermanager from playstore, enable the root function in settings. Swipe over to tge next screen and select uninstall apps and uninstall superuser. Then reboot. That should do ut.

What app is it?
Sent from my Nexus 7
The app is called Jeppesen Mobile TC and you will only be able to download it if you have a 9-10 inch tab with honeycomb or ICS running. I managed to get the apk so if someone wants it to try please let me know.
I will try the above shortly. Many thanks!

I just tried this and it seems to have removed root like you said yet the application still thinks I have root. I un-installed the app and reinstalled it after rebooting.
The app runs fine on my gfs Nexus 7 which has never been rooted.
Hmmmmm

Hello. Can you explain the process you followed to make this app run in a Nexus 7. Because I downloaded the apk from a russian site in my Nexus 7 (non-rooted) and after the installation the app ask for me my name and activate number and I can´t do anything more.
Thank you for the help!

Try removing your Google account and then add it again. I know that fixes some play store errors but I'm not sure it will for your certain error.
Not completely sure if I've read that others were able to fix this problem by wiping the cache for their playstore app. Give that a go and see what happens.

If you have lucky patcher open it. Wait 30 seconds. Menu long press to play store. Try again to update. This usually works for me.

Oh okay, patcher is for root, it changes your odexes and removes Google ads so they don't pop up in apps. Try a search online for instagram apks? Other than that I don't really know sorry.

I got the package invalid error a couple of times. But a day later when I went to update everything worked fine. One was a Samsung app, and the other was Handcent.
I thought it was because I was running a custom rom, but since it cleared up on it's own I didn't give it any more thought.

Can't update Google search.

When I try to update Google search it tells me " error package file is invalid".
I tried to delete my Google account and reading it but it's still like that.
How could I if that?
I'm rooted with stock ROM.

Any chance any of these apps you are updating a backup restored from a previous version? Perhaps patched with something like Lkucy Patcher? Does it happen for all apps? Can you install any other apps from the Play Store without a problem?

I think I got it. Other apps install fine which was weird so I just removed app data for those apps then the app itself and it installed OK from the play store
