Sane with my nexus 7 2012 version. Download verification failed twice. Now its been over 20 hours where the tablet is stuck on the retry download screen. Does anyone know how to resolve this ?

One of the first thread in general section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848

I'm having exactly the same problem. Pressing retry doesn't do anything!

Looks like we are all waiting until the next batch of updates roll out. Two options from here, wait patiently for the update to appear again, or install it manually.
I'm not really one for waiting so this could be painful haha

Same problem. What are you guys planning to do?

Mine downloaded the whole file and then failed. So close yet so far!

Change the date and try again. I switched to manual date and time, advanced a month and hit retry and downloaded perfectly! hope this works for others

I have a similar problem. I have a Nexus 4 bought in the UK, and being used in India. Completely stock, no root or boot unlock. I got the 4.3 OTA update without a hitch in India.
I got the notification for 4.4 OTA a few days ago. But the device just downloads the 238.9 MB update again and again and says "verification failed" each time. After downloading a few times, it stops for the day and says "couldn't download" as the OP says.
This process is eating up my battery and wifi data. Does anyone have any suggestions? Could the update be failing because I'm in the wrong country?
Thanks

google "nexus 4 factory images"
it'll take you to the official download page from google. Download the file, extract, and run the batchfile.

I got the OTA. I simply installed TunnelBear (VPN with monthly 500MB free), chose the UK server option, and waited. Either it worked or Google fixed their update system at the same time.

Note 3 SM-N9005 Google play services problem

I just bought the Note 3 SM-N9005 and i have problem with the google services.My apps want me to update google services but when i open the app on Play Store it shows that my device isn't supported by this version of the app and I can't update it! I don't have the "Uninstall updates" button in app settings.I'm on stock android 5.0.Any ideas?
Thanks in advance !

Is this a brand new phone??

I have a similar problem since yesterday. Until now, everything was fine (for 3 years). Yesterday I began to get " google play services has stopped". Continuously.
I tried a lot of things ( wipe cache, remove updates, etc) until I finally went for a factory reset.
Everything was fine. Until I wanted to use my Google apps. No synch, no GPS positioning, etc. The phone wants me to upgrade my Google services app. But on the pay store, my device is said to be incompatible.
I called google support : no solution.
I downloaded an official app with latest version for my phone and android version. Back to the continously popped up messages "google play services had stopped". Had to down grade to former version.
Currently I am stuck.
If anyone had an idea. ..

Yes it is brand new.
It was with US ROM and I flashed my countrys ROM to see if that works but nothing has changed...
I downloaded the latest play services apk from another website and installed it on my device.It seems to be working perfectly now but whenever a new update comes out i will be prompted to update it again and I will have to wait untill the new update comes on 3rd party website so I can download it from there.Even when i updated it manually,in Play Store it still says that my device is not compatible with this version of the app...Any ideas ?
P.S : I've tried clearing both play store and play services caches and uninstalling updates but that won't fix it.Play store still shows the same thing.
The Note 3 came with 7.1 version on play services,now I updated it to 9.2.25 and still the same result...

Having the same issue on my dad's old Note 3. Even tried flashing the latest firmware from sammobile and factory reset, it still has the same error. Looks like something might have screwed up on google's side

So lets hope they fix it sooner,because it limits almost my whole phone...Even Youtube and Whatsapp are not usable...

You can always try;
- reset app preferences
- disable Play Store & restore to factory version.
- Clear data & cache of Google Play Services & Framework
- If rooted, flash updated gapps.

Or you can try this if rooted and have custom recovery...like TWRP 2.8.7.0. Install Phronesis Rom Version 1.2 and enjoy the sweet Marshmallow 6.0.1. Phone model SM-N9005.

Same here need help

IT'S BRAND NEW DEVICE. No roots,nothing.You can't have cache problems with brand new unused device.
I've tried clearing both caches and updates on all google apps.Done factory reset.Everything,and still no progress.

So the phone is new from Samsung and not refurbished?
Does the phone show the same imei as the label under the battery?

Yes it does.The same IMEI is displayed on box,phone(dialing *#06#) and under the battery I've checked it online and that IMEI belongs to the same Note 3 device.

Model number in download mode is correct? If yes, I am at a loss as to why this is happening.

This is different issue but maybe you could try.
Yesterday my phone had connection issue to playstore. It tells me no internet connection. Cleared cache and data for playstore and google play service, flashed newer playstore version but in no avail.
Remove my google account and re-register, problem solved.

Possible Play store problem as i have seen this twice in the last few days .

same problem
I have two Note3 and can't install the latest Google Play Service. Playstore-Screenshot:
moja.ninja/playstore.jpg
Both have the latest samsung firmware (unrooted).
One of them I reset yesterday -> no change. The current version of the play service is too old und some apps don't work.
On the other device I have not the latest version, but all apps are running.
Any solution?
thanks

The same problem
I did a factory reset yesterday and after that I couldn't update Google Services App and since every other Google App goes through this Google Services, this renders my phone half-useless...

Can confirm, all downloaded and installing now. Took some quick keyboard work at work to use fastboot and flash back entirely to stock (recovery included) while signing up for the beta. Popped up instantly.

is this the new one ? or this is still the old beta ?

Installing also, looks that this is final build with changelog

Can someone tell us if this is the final version?

Now, please tell us what happen if you un enroll your device? Just a reset factory? or nothing happen? can anyone test it?

I was rooted with Magisk. I disabled root from the Magisk Manager and installed the OTA update. I lost root but gained Nougat.

If you are rooted with Systemless SuperSu you can still download the OTA as usual then install it with the Flashfire app rather than installing from the prompt. Worked for me anyway.

how do i upgrade from purenexus while keeping TWRP and leaving my file system decrypted? I don't mind wiping my data.

Don't worry, nothing bad will happen to your device, but you won't get more beta releases until you opt-in again!

All files are alive after this upgrade. In my case

So, just tried to upgrade.
After half an hour of downloading and updating, it reached the point where the phone restarted itself, but all I saw is an open-android icon with a message "Error!" :/
Simply restarted the phone and back to 6.0.1. Unfortunately.

Try to download the app's apk (maybe a different version than the latest). I don't know what to expect but if this were my case I would try it.
Other Googla Apps working fine?

This could be really annoying specially at a new phone.
I know this is very uncomfortable (specially if you have done all the settings etc.) but the next steps would be factory reset or flashing the stock Honor 8 rom...

I solved the issue now.
I removed my google account and signed in again. but for the first time I had unmarked the auto sync option(Cause I hate auto-sync It was draining the battery on my nexus badly). Anyway This time I chose auto sync when it prompt before sign in to google account and It worked.
Thanks for the responses again

Hm now the app update notification is gone. Guess update was fine

Posted in another thread, but I cleared cache on Google play store and tried again. App was gone from my update list as well as from OnePlus list of apps. It's just disappeared.

I got the update notification this morning and received the same error, rebooted my phone a couple of hours ago and the update disappeared, checked updates and even searched for the app on the play store and it's not there, weird.
