Stopping the Nexus player from updating - Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have my nexus player rooted for the reason to use the stickmount app for kodi. For some reason, google just trys to force update the device, not even giving you an option it just shuts off and trys to install the cached update. Ofcourse it doesnt update cause the bootloaders unlocked and its rooted and i have custom recovery on it. But what my question is, how do I get it to stop force updating? I have tried disabling the update recivers via autostarts app and it still trys to update. Not sure why it wont work. And I cleared the cache. Thanks if you can help :]

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

Nexus player is in recovery mode in the morning

Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me why my Nexus player ends up in recovery mode in the mornings im stocked rooted and unlocked with twrp I have to reboot my Nexus player each morning unless it's trying to update.
The same thing use to happen to me. The stock rom tries to do an update, then reboots, but you are rooted/unlocked, so it fails and just sits there in recovery. Most custom roms take the update feature out, but on stock it still exists, and I think there is a way to turn off checking for updates or something similar so it will not happen again.

You can disable system updates if your device is rooted. In order to do this, download My Android Tools (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.wq.myandroidtools) and sideload the APK on to your Nexus Player. After it's installed on your device, load the app, access its menu and go to System >> Search >> Google Play Services >> Uncheck SystemUpdateService. This will disable system updates but still allow your apps to update.

Repeated Google Play Download Issues - Download Pending

Almost every day I need to clear cache and data in the play store app in order to get apps and updates to download. Sometimes, such as now, even multiple clears of data does not fix the issue.
Can someone please recommend some kind of a fix or workaround? It's incredibly frustrating. I am on 9.0.12 rooted.
Have you tried updating to latest play store from apkmirror? Might solve the issue.

I guess I haven't tried that. It's been going on for quite a long time. I did manually update Google Play Services though. I will try the Play Store.
No luck installing Another play store either.
After restarting the phone the apps needing update started installing. Didn't clear data this time. Very strange.
I just noticed I was having this issue today. I turned off WiFi and the updates started. I'm trying to figure out why.
Edit: It seems to have resolved itself without me doing anything.
This issue is still going on, even after the Play Store updated to the newest version. I have tried everything at this point. Next step is to set the phone on fire I guess.
I have the exact same issue.
Check your Installed tab. I bet there is an app pending for download but not showing under Update tab. Stop it by clicking the cross icon beside it. All apps under Update tab will start downloading and installing.

I'm having the same issue. I did a clean install, and I was able to install all apps without issue.
A few hours later, couldn't download new apps. They would be stuck on "downloading".
If I reboot, one app will install, but all others won't. I have to reboot again, and another will download.
Have tried all the usual tricks (play store /services cache and data, download manager), but nothing seems to work.
I'm on 9.0.14. it happens with stock or custom kernels, over 4g or wifi.
EDIT: sometimes an app will start to download and get stuck at x KB or MB. Again only a reboot will solve it.
It happens to me not when I flash the international rom but when I root any firmware. I have the T-Mobile version and it works very fast but after I root it I get the pending when downloading anything from the play store.

Apps Update atleast Thrice

Hi All,
So I'm facing this weird issue, where my app updates from the Google Play Store don't seem to stick.
I started having this problem when I was using LOS, and I thought maybe the ROM was the issue. But then, I switched to OOS, same thing.
An app will update and play store will show all apps updated. Then after a few hours the app will update again, and then once more. Usually the update sticks after the third update.
Also, even though I haven't kept a log, but it doesn't seem specific to some apps, it appears to be the case with all apps.
I use Magisk for Titanium Backup. But nothing else.
Also, I thought this was an issue with apps restored with Titanium Backup, but that isn't the case.
PS: I haven't tried without Magisk, as I wouldn't want to use the phone without that.
Any ideas?

Currently using Magisk on OOS and I do not have this issue, so root isn't the issue. I think it may have to do with the play store itself, as it doesn't seem to actually update the apps until the third time like you said. The only two solutions I can come up with are as followed:
1. Hold down on the play store app and clear the data on it and then disable the app (Make sure the option to go back to the factory version comes up after you press disable) and then re-enable the app again. Open it and see what happens afterwards. The idea is to get the play store to re-update itself and fix the issue.
2. Get on a computer and fastboot flash OOS again and see if it persists after you get your phone set up again.
