[Q] can't setup google account

So for the past few months I've been messing with different roms and accidentally setup one of my roms with a different email and bought the app chandroid. When I reverted to the main Rom I use chandroid wanted me to update so I tried but since I bought it under a different account it wanted me to buy it again. I found that the new market let's you switch between emails so I installed it but was unable to download or update any app.
This is where all the trouble started. I went to Google for answers and someone suggested clearing the data in the market. After doing this market would just say an error has occurred and shuts down. I then tried a factory reset. When I go to setup the account it says can't establish a reliable data connection. I understand this is a known problem but its different from my problem because even factory reset won't fix it. I've tried the YouTube method as well to no avail. One of my roms didn't come with the YouTube app and when I tried downloading it it said I already had it but it was no where to be found under app management.
The only luck I have had is with the muiu Rom. I was able to setup the account but that Rom looks too much like the iPhone and I prefer cyanogen 7 mod. I have factory reset, wiped cache, reinstalled rom. The only way market works is when I reinstall backed up roms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So basically you have a problem with the market app? or your google account?
because if you have paid fopr an app on a different email account, you can just save the apk and reinstall it.

It was installed. The problem is that it uses Google to authenticate the app and I can't setup my Google account so it can't authenticate. When I factory reset I get the message can't establish data connection. My internet works perfectly fine. Right now I just want a clean install of cyan 7 with the new market. I installed gapps as well and still same problem.

I really don't care about the app anymore since I installed 4chon. I just want my market to work again.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've tried everything possible as far as I know.

Okay so I figured it out. What I had to do was unroot my phone. Just download the PC36IMG.zip online and put it on the root of your sdcard. Go into clockworkmod by powering the phone off and then holding the down vol. and pwr button at the same time untill the hboot screen shows up. It will automatically detect it and just say yes when it asks you to install it. When it's finished you have to either delete the PC36IMG.zip file or rename it otherwise everytime you reboot the phone it will reinstall it. That's not a very good fix but as I am the only person I know of who has had this problem I do not see a better fix anytime soon.

[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

[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.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.

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.

[Q] Can't install apps from google play website

The usual problem - I flashed a custom ROM, signed into my gmail account, then restored the backup of my main ROM,
Now I can't install apps from a PC browser on G Play, it works fine on the phone, just not from the PC
I've cleared cache, data of play store and google services from the phone
Remove my account and re-added it
Removed all devices permissions from my account and set them back up
rebooted the phone
Ive run out of ideas, anyone know what's up?
The device shown in my account is saying it's last access was the 26th, which was about when I flashed that custom ROM, so I'm guessing it's still not seeing my current ROM even after all of that
PITA Google, why make things so complicated ?
Anyone know how to remove that old device and force it to see my current one?

I've fixed it, there was no error, it just refused to detect the phone at all, when I pressed INSTALL on the website, it only gave options of my old April 26th ROM, not my current one
Finally after booting to recovery and clearing all caches, then opening Play store app on the phone, it finally (After 20 tries) detected the phone again and works as it should
That's 2 days of using my phone, that the play store web version failed to detect the phone at all
Come on Google, get it sorted, this has been going on for years, I remember the same problem back in 2012 with my tablet

Lost Google Play Services access don't know what to do at this point.

Hello, lovelies of XDA. I'm looking from some advice from those who better understand what they're doing, as I (like a true novice) have reached what seems to be a "point of no return" with my phone.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S4 that I have rooted and updated to Lollipop using the methods described in these threads:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-att/general/guide-odin-to-stock-updating-rooting-t2926642
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...to-root-i337ucufnj4-4-4-4-11-13-2014-t2939553
http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...-to-update-to-i337oc3-5-0-1-keeproot-t3075814
I went from Lollipop 5.0.1, to KitKat 4.4.4, got root access, then updated to Lollipop again via the KeepRoot thread. This took me forever, but everything seemingly worked fine. Until I messed it all up. I used TitaniumBackup to remove apps that were on the safelists on this forum after creating backups. However, I started receiving an "Unfortunately, Google Play Services have stopped." error message every time I tried to add a new Google account in my phone's settings. In my efforts to attempt to fix this, I managed to delete the Google account that was working on the phone, and now I have no access to Google Play at all. Whenever I try to launch anything involving Play or Google accounts, I get the "...Play Services has stopped." error. I was hoping to maybe start fresh, but I don't even know where to begin. I was thinking I could reflash using the method in the "Update to I337_OC3 - 5.0.1 and KeepRoot" thread, but I have no way to get the FlashFire app on my phone as it can no longer access the Play store. When I try to install it wirelessly from my computer, it thinks that the app is already Installed, even though there's no Google account (or Play access) on my phone. What is my next logical step to try to get things working again?
Thanks in advance for your attention and efforts.

I'm sure there's an apk of flashfire app somewhere on the internet.
Do you have a custom recovery? If so you could try flashing a gapps package and see if it works.
