4.2 update failed due to missing app question - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I finally got the update pushed down to me and it failed since I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the Google Korean IME program. I reinstalled the program but I can't get the update to go again. I know I can flash it, but then I would need to reinstall everything and go through all that mess. Is there anyway to reset the update and do the install again? When I try to select "check for updates" it says my system is up to date.

You could try clearing data in the Google Services Framework and then check for updates again.

[Q] Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped.

A problem I have with my Nexus 10, which started several days ago.
As soon as I click the "Google Play" app I get "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." error and it shuts down.
Seen this problem in other forums, but no definitive answer.
It runs on Android 4.2.2.
I've tried:
Deleting cache of Google play, and some other apps.
Removing my google account and adding it back (or other accounts)
Factory reset (So my current setup is clean).
I'm not as tech savvy as the common dwellers here so I've no idea how to ROM flash or with what to flash it with (Also I'm unrooted, and not sure how I restore older versions of things).
I'm open to suggestions.

If you go to settings, apps, and you press google play, you can uninstall newer versions. I had this problem, but it was because my google play wasn't in /system/app (im rooted with a ROM, and I deleted the gplay from the gapps, so this is not the same problem).

I looked for it, and it doesn't give me that button. I figured that's because after he factory reset it when back to default version (3.10.10) and wasn't able to update, so there's nothing to uninstal.
I'm losing hope, followed by sanity. Arghhh
So far I've unlocked and rooted the N10 to install the latest google play store.
Now the error is changed to "No connection" with a retry button.
Its drastic-but you should re- install the whole image/OS

Yes, that's what he's saying. Sounds like SOMETHING is corrupted, somewhere - even the factory-reset partition.
Last night I was getting "No connection" on G-Play - this morning it's working OK. All other network apps work OK. Not sure what happened.
I'm running PA latest ROM.

Turned it on today and everything starting working as before this problem started.
It must be something on their end, too bad they didn't bother letting me know, wasted some hours on this.
Thanks for all who tried to help.
I've had issues with error-less GPlay crashes that require a reflashing of the entire OS, sadly

Remove your google account, then open play store, and continue by entering your credentials again.

if possible go back to 4.2.2 and start over again or just install a custom rom and flash gapps

Yes that is always my last option.
I have faced this issue on 4.2.2 as well, I had solved this by stopping Freedom
This time post the OTA upgrade I lost root access, post which I could not stop freedom post which I deleted freedom and needless to say restarted the phone several times but no resolution. I am trying all kind of things on my phone before flashing it.
So let me know if you want me to try something else as well

Search in app list in the Disabled tab. Maybe it has been disabled for some reason.
if does not find, try with Kies to recover or something like that. There was such option.

Factory reset is always the first thing to do when you got serious problems. So yes, backup and factory reset.

[Q] Can't access Google Calendar...

Hi all, i've searched far and wide to resolve this but nothing seems to work that i've tried. I cannot sign in to add my google calendar to my phone. I'm able to do everything else: get email, get to playstore, etc. As far as I know i do not have 2 step verification setup. I'm on 4.4.2, rooted. When i try to add my existing google account to the calendar i get "couldn't sign in. There was a problem communicating with the Google servers. Try again later."
I dont want to have to do a factory reset if possible.
Thanks all!

Clear cache and dalvik cache, and delete data from the calendar app. If that doesn't work, uninstall the app, repeat the clearing procedure, then reinstall. It should work:fingers-crossed:
@ldeveraux thanks for the reply. I tried what I think is the process above but still no luck. Maybe I'm not following what you suggested correctly. I went into the data/dalvik cache directory and wiped it out, cleared the calendar data. But not quite sure what you mean by "clear cache" in the very first part of what you wrote. Can you maybe give me a step by step with a little more info? Thanks again.

You're rooted and have safestrap installed?
1) Go to App info on the calendar app and Clear Data
2) reboot to safastrap.
3) go to wipe menu, advanced wipe, then check ONLY Cache and Dalvik Cache
4) wipe these 2 ONLY, then reboot.
If that doesn't work, uninstall the calendar app, reboot, reinstall the app from the play store.
I have no clue if this will work, but it's worth a shot

Hello again, I added back Safestrap and followed the above and still the same results. I appreciate the effort. Any other ideas out there?? Also I can't uninstall the calendar app. I guess its the stock one that came with the phone. I can freeze or uninstall it with TB but i don't see it available on the play store.

I'm getting the feeling you didn't do this as I explained. You shouldn't delete the files or folders in a file explorer app. It should be done like I explained in SS.
And you can uninstall google Calendar with any uninstaller app or TB, either way. the new app to download is here, so yes it exists:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.calendar&hl=en

I did follow your instructions once i re-installed Safestrap. But unfortunately still having the issue.
Its possible to clear the cache and davlik cache on stock using stock recovery and without root i thought id note..

S8+ Android Pie update lost after factory reset?

Hey guys! So I recently got the option to update to android pie, now since I have the phone for 1.5 years unrooted and it started to be a little slow i decided to factory reset it before updating, now after actually doing the reset it does not show the update anymore and keeps showing me the phone software is up to date, any suggestions? thanks!
Images attached.
Strange, I've never seen anything like it, but you can flash rom using odin.
Any ideas guys? Im still not getting any updates!

Assume you've tried to manually check for updates right?
If that does not work go to your apps, turn on show system apps, now find them "Google services framework" app and clear data, then immediately reboot.

What do you mean manually? Ive checked in the software updates many times since then, tried wiping cache, and google services framework data, tried checking with smart switch. Nothing.

By manually I just meant tapping the update manually button.
Can you use the emergency recovery option in SmartSwitch? Maybe it will reflash current or part of rom or at least reset a system version flag (that maybe factory reset doesn't). I guessing here, never had to use it, but if it was me I'd give it a try.
Only other ways I know would be to flash with Odin, or via recovery or use ADB (obviously make sure you have the correct file for your phone region, provider etc research if you are not familiar with doing this)
