So today, I got my Canadian GS4 back after about a year without it... So the first thing I did was hop on the play store and start updating apps. It got about halfway done updating the over 80 apps, then I had to leave WiFi. When I came back to it, anytime I started an update, Google play store crashed no matter if I clicked update all, or picked an individual app to update. My phone is currently:
Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M)
Android 4.4.2
Rooted
I am really loathe to do a factory reset as I don't have regular access to a computer to re-root in the near future. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You could try clearing cache and data for google play and then try updating apps

I had a very demanding week at work and during a session of mental autopilot, I allowed a friend who had updated his Nexus 7 to 4.2 - talk me through updating MY Nexus 7 to 4.2 (kernel ver. 3.1.10-g22b4fcd). This is something I would never have done without a little checking to see what kinds of problems people were having, but I wasn't thinking clearly and gambled that it wouldn't cause any major problems.
The first thing I noticed was that none of my apps would update. Every time it reports an "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S - 5:AEC - 0]". I then tried installing an app from the Google Play Store, and got the exact same error. This happened with several apps.
I've had mixed results installing from the Amazon App Store, with a couple successes. However, it doesn't seem to log me in automatically like it used to. At least the installs were successful.
Next, I used Android Task Manager to Stop the Google Play Store app and Clear Cache and Clear Data and then cycled the power of the Nexus 7.
No Luck. I'm still getting the "Error retrieving information from server" message whenever I try to execute an update or downloading a new install.
I sure hope I don't have to revert back to 4.1.2 because I'm going to have a hard time getting everything setup and working the way I had it.
What should I try next? I greatly appreciate any help suggested. Thanks!
Solved
I created a new account and logged into it. Then I deleted my old account and re-booted the tablet. When restarted, I added my old account and logged into it. Now the updates are working without error.
I hope this helps someone.
I'm having the same issue on 4.1.2

Just fixed the issue by deleting my Google account and adding it again.

Reverting back to GOOGLE PLAY 3.9.17 works, too.
Yep, that worked - just download from here and install ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?zqzgh798ybzo8b7

Tried this but unable to install it, likely because I uninstalled the Google Play Store updates and it rolled itself back to 3.9.17
Removing/re-adding account didn't work either, even w/ a reboot + clearing cache/data of the Google Play Store App.
4.2

Hello XDA Team,
I'm facing a problem right now and needs your help,
I rooted my Galaxy S4 with Kingo Android ROOT, after rooting I installed titanium backup and then I removed built-in appz mean gmail, earth, sbrower, which are installed in phone from the samsung. Samsung's official appz. So, I removed them via titanium backup, but while removing I suddenly removed play store app and I had not any backup of it. After then I regret over it. As a matter of fact, I wanted to remove blotware from my S4 but instead of removing them, I removed appz using titanium backup without taking any backup. But then I installed play store again, and when I opened it, it opens for a little while and then hangs and suddenly shows an error, "Unfortunately, Google play service has stopped".
Since then, Its been showing this error. I've installed many other version of play store but problem never solved. I un-root my phone as well and then checked but problem was same. I clear the cache, reset the preferences but nothing solve my problem. Everything else going fine and ok but whenever I opened play store it shows the error and return back to home screen. It was mine obsession that in this way I could remove blotwares but I didn't succeed. I hope XDA team can help me to retrieve my play store back as before.
I'm sure they'd help me.
Hey, I have the same problem with Nexus 5, any ideas?

If you haven't already got a recent backup, take one now.
Then you can reinstall firmware which will bring back the Play Store and everything else. Use Mobile Odin to retain root, or use desktop Odin and root once firmware is installed.
Give it time to catch up (it will probably need to download latest versions of the system apps) then, once it is all settled, you can restore your missing data from the backup.
If that doesn't work, repeat but do a factory reset too. You'll lose all your data stored on your internal memory so take copies if it is important.
**Try clearing the temporary of Play Store and Play Services.. ** Sorry didn't read all the way

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.

Okay i'll try it when i'm back at home, got to much Picturs of Lost Places on my Phone which i didn't saved on my HardDrive so far.
So my wife and I both have galaxy note 3 phones. Today we upgraded to Android 5. 0. when my phone finally booted back up Pandora had been completely uninstalled. My wife's phone still had Pandora but when she tries to open it it says an unexpected error has occurred. When I try to reinstall Pandora from the Play Store I get error 505. I've tried to go to third party websites and download older version of Pandora and when I am installing the app it says application not installed. I have gone into my applications and clear the cache and data from download manager and Play Store. Both of the phones have been completely restored to factory settings. The app just will not install on my phone and will not work on my wife's phone. Has anybody else experienced this? Thanks in advance.

I am on a rooted galaxy tab 4, t330, wifi only model running android 4.4.2 stock rom. I had this a while now and just the other day chrome has been updating all on its own despite my every attempt to stop this. I have done the following.
Ensured that any option to auto update was de-selected.
Cleared data and cache of all google related app. (i.e. play store, download manager ect.)
Used titanium backup to restore back to previous version and detached from play store.
None of this has helped and I am forced to keep getting an update I don't want. Seems almost like a virus as it does this in the background without any input or warning. Also when I do catch it updating and click on it it will not let me cancel the download from play store.
Anyways. Now I'm here. Asking for help to stop this. Is there a file that can be modified or folder that can be deleted. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Flash a cyanogenmod rom without flashing Gapps. Why are you so adamant chrome not update itself??
