You had installed the modded play store this is causing the problem. Clean install the STOCK KITKAT ROM or try any other custom ROM.

Sorry to bump into this old thread, but I am having this same issue. Tried log cat and it shows "DRMManager Service not published". Could this be causing the playstore to be stuck in "Downloading"? Anyone has a fix on this?

[Q] Play store downgrade not working

I have just installed Omni 4.4.3 for my S3 mini (unofficial). But my icons/thumbnails in the play store are glitched. I know you can fix this bug by downgrading the play store. I tried download the 4.5.10 version but when i click install it says: app not installed, while i'm totally sure it's installed though. I tried it with 4.6 as well but still it says: app not installed. And also when i go into settings>apps and go to the play store, it doesn't give me the option to remove updates because the 4.8.20 version came with my google apps package. I can still download an older version of the Gapps but that one is from January and i don't feel like updating all my google apps again. Please i need help how do i fix this??

Google play services isn't compatible with your device?

Hi,
I have Note 3 SM-N9005 International Qualcomm.
Long ago my phone has updated to Android Lolipop 5.0 (from KitKat 4.4) - OTA update with stock
Used my phone for year and a half, and few weeks ago phone gets lag from time to time.
I decide to go to FACTORY RESET (firstly try backup and reset). All go well. Phone goes like new. No lag. Good performance
BUT: one thing, one little error broke my all google apps
When android goes to automatically update google apps like GMAIL, Google Now(google), hangouts, maps and many others, system says that first have to update google play services and then this ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
I try to reset phone without backup. Same thing
Then I go very angry and decide to read more about custom ROMS and how they install
I installed TWRP 2.8.4 first. Then I download AryaMod V8.3 TW Lollipop Official BOJ6 and follow all steps to intallation (A) : Coming from any official TW 5.0
All installation goes well and the ROM work perfect.
There is no hangouts app(I know that is old and bla bla), gmail work properly, but google(now) and other software (like STRAVA) wants to update and still wants google play services to update first. AND SAME ERROR :
Google play services isn't compatible with your device
Tried to go application manager> google play store> uninstall updates
application manager>google play services> clear cache
remove google account and re-login
same error !!!
PLEASE HELP
and sorry for my ENGLISH

Thanks. That worked for me

Hi !
I have the same problem as OP. I was on AryMod MM 6.0 v6 but GPS was a little problematic so I decided to go back to a stock rom. After a successful restore I couldn't access my google apps after update. I tried another stock firmware but got the same results. Older apks with .438 install correctly but the problem persists. I tried installing the latest apk from apkmirror but I get an error.

There are 27 variants of app on apkmirror, which one to download for n9005?

Chinese A9 Pro (A9100), help please with getting Google Play store back

I've got a Chinese A9 Pro (A9100) a week ago, which was running fine, as the store had installed the Google Play store on it.
However, it was not seeing any updates whatsoever, so it was stuck on the firmware from last year's September.
I wanted to fix that, so I was looking around and found the firmware for this year's September for A9100:
updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=EF41B367935E11E7963AFA163EE8F90B
I tried flashing it with Odin, and everything worked fine. The new firmware is working fine, has the newest security patch and everything. All my installed apps were working fine as well
The only thing that didn't work was Google Play Store, it wouldn't run at all. What's more, I was continually getting "Google Play services stopped" errors, which was starting to get on my nerves.
So I decided to do a factory reset, which fixed the problem. No error messages anymore
However, the Google Play store is completely gone now. How do I get it back?
I tried downloading the apk files from apkmirror and installing them, that did nothing.
Then I looked around and found a Google installer:
itechify.com/2016/11/10/download-google-installer-apk-chinese-phones/
Tried that one, but even though everything seemed to have installed fine, it still wasn't working. The error messages were back again, too, so I uninstalled everything again, and the error messages are gone again.
How do I get the Google Play store back? If possible, without rooting the phone. I have apps that I need to use (e.g. my banking app), which don't work on a rooted phone.
Thanks for any help :good:

Cannot get the right version of Google Play Services

Here are my specs:
Model: SM-G900F
Android: v5
Google Play Services: 6.1.88 (1557022-738).
I believe my bootloader is unlocked in my phone.
I have TWRP installed and I can root by flashing Super su, but not by Magisk.
The only ROM I have was downloaded, but I think it's official firmware - my file is (G900FXXU1BNL2_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL2_HOME.tar)
I've been trying on and off for about 2 years to get my S5 working how I'd like to and especially the last 2 days and everything has resulted in failure (Magisk failed, constant popups about services stopping). I'm getting really frustrated.
I think the root cause of my problems is my Google Play Services version. I tried updating through the Play Store and that installation kept getting popups of 'Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped' (even after cache wipes). I tried installing apks that were for Android v5, armeabi-v7a and 480 and 240 DPI (I tried a few different files) and I keep getting the Play Services have stopped error.
If I uninstall all updates, the phone will work OK, but of course I can't use many applications because I have to update Play Services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this helps. If so hit that thanks.
