Play Store problems!

My Play store suddenly stop to download. I use Kyrillos 9.6 rom from 2 weeks and i hasn`t problems before.
But now it`s opening normal, but images are missing and i can`t download nothing. Just says "downloading..." and nothing more...
I try to clear Play store /cache/data. without succsess. Cleared davlink Cache, CACHE, I reflashed the rom, but same again. Even i uninstalled my current version 3.8.17 and reinstalled again , again without succsess.
I don`t know what is the reason for that, but it`s a very irritrating.
My sister play store works on Galaxy TAB and there is no problems with play store.
Sooo if you have a idea what cause that problem please share

Re-flash the ROM, then remove "/system/app/MarketUpdater.apk (not sure if it's named like this or not)" with Root Explorer. This will disable the Market updater.

same again
i`m sick to reflashing the rom, i will hardbrick my phone if i continue in the same way.
Ok. I reflash the rom, and deleted Market Updater.apk. After that started the Play Store. But before it ask me upgrade to new market.
I click ok. AND guess the same again
I don`t know what is the reason but it is a very strange. Reflash dont help???? WTF
maybe i should change my phone.

Well if you have the money you should upgrade your phone. Also, flashing ROMs wont brick your phone as long as the ROM doesn't have the bootloader file. Custom ROMs don't have bootloaders so it is safe to flash.
Click the thanks button on my posts if I helped!

Finally Solved!
Ok, i solved the problem.
1. Reflash the ROM
2. Delete Market Updater.apk (look Jason-EX post)
3. CWM Recovery, clear the Cache
4. Install old/new market updater from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1231358
5. Select which market to use: OLD or NEW ( I use OLD market 2.3.5, and it is a very fast and smooth without lags compared with google play)
6. Reboot
Enjoy !

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?

Google Play Services is incompatible with your device issue

I have a YU Yureka running Android 5.1.1 ( cm-12.1-20151007-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO338-tomato.zip build) with TWRP Recovery (V 2.8.6.0) and OpenGApps (open_gapps-arm64-5.1-micro-20151102.zip build).
A couple of days back I got a notification saying that I have a OTA update to my ROM (cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K5-tomato.zip build). After i gave it the command, it automatically downloaded and installed my update (Just like CM Updater). However, when my phone rebooted, instead the Google Now Launcher, it reverted back to Trebuchet. When I tried to install the launcher, i found that my Play Store was missing. I went to the home area (not the app list) and tapped on the Google Search Bar(which remained intact) to check for solutions when i got a message saying Google Play Services is incompatible with your device. Contact Device manufacturer for help.
I tried to boot to recovery and flash the Open GApps zip file (the same as aforementioned) but it did not flash and it gave me Error Code : 30. In the end, I formatted my device and reverted to my previous CM build.
Please help. I need to know whether i can update my phone's software without having this issue.
Does anybody else have this problem????

Yes me too ! The Google Play Services demands update as half the apps are not working and ehen updated, the 'Play Services unfortunately stops' . The pop up irritating msg does not allow to proceed with any action till the update is uninstalled ! What damn irritating ! Can anybody help !

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?

[HELP] i think i've encountered a new bug.

hello, i have a new problem found few days ago and been trying to fix it but to no avail.
here is how it started.
i tried to install an app called fsecure vpn network from google play. then the phone when into a bootloop. then i did a clean wipe (reset, wipe cache and dalvik from recovery) but somehow my files were not gone. that is some kinda miracle i have no idea how it happened.
since then my phone have issue whenever i installed mihome:
-. google play services, trebuchet, package installer, and some other has stopped.
-. cannot open apps list in settings when mihome is present. the settings just stopped and crashed.
-. if i try to open the mihome, the phone goes reboot.
-. even uninstalling mihome from application list is not working, the package installer stopped. have to uninstall from google play.
-. i tried to make a bluetooth printer app, but when i put the app-debug.apk into my phone. file manager would crash whenever it tried to read the file. even by just scrolling down. example: file manager work fine if the file is not copied inside (meaning we can scroll around and not crash). but once the file is copied in then the file manager will work if we dont scroll down to find the file, but when we scrolled down to find the file then the app crash.
things i've tried:
-. clean wipe then reflashing rom and gapps.
-. manually update google play store, download google package installer and reinstall it.
-. tried to download google play services apk but was unable to install it.
-. tried the idea of clearing cache of google play service but still no luck (force stop was disabled anyway so i cant try that)
i have no idea how this all happen just because i tried to install that fsecure app. its not even fully installed yet. it was just starting to install after download then this hell happened.
im desperate for some help as i've tried for 3 days in fixing it but to no luck. any helps would be very appreciated.
thanks and regards,
hendry

Hello,
Did you try to reinstall Stock ROM ?
https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-grand2/SM-G7102/
It happened to me that sometimes, apps or rom just run into a bug and maybe it corrupt the firmware but after a Stock ROM flash (via Odin) + custom recovery (via Odin) to wipe Cache + Data, everything was fix.

Hai, could u possible post me a tutorial on how to do those thing via odin? Coz i usually only do it via cwm. Thanks

Did you try to flash a recovery only ?
Maybe your firmware/system is not corrupted and then you could just reflash a clean rom ?
In Odin, Select AP and load your recovery.tar

I am having the very same issue. The difference is that it's happening with Spotify, Xposed and Relay for Reddit. So yeah it's been much worse for me. I will try to flash stock rom + reinstall another recovery and see if it fixes. By the way, I got a couple of questions:
1 - Does the country that I select when downloading the stock ROM matters?
2 - Which Recovery can you guys recommend? There's a bunch here but not sure if all them are worthy

Okay so I flashed an Indian stock ROM (I'm not indian nor live in the country), then I wiped all data, so I could boot. This is the default procedure to revert back to a Stock ROM.
After that, I noticed the Wifi wasn't working, probably due to the Stock rom I've downloaded. Anyway, I installed a custom Recovery (even an updated version of what I used before, then I reinstalled Ressurection Remix, and tried again.
....It didn't work. Relay for Reddit crashes everything, Spotify puts my phone into a bootloot. Same with Xposed. I have no idea what to do anymore. Someone, please help. I really can't afford to buy another phone right now and I really need those apps. Expecially Spotify.

Okay, so I guess there won't be any need for that. I've redownloaded the stock ROM, but this time, I checked my phone Serial Number so I could download the right stock ROM for my phone. Now everything seems to be working again. Spotify and Relay installed without any issue. I will now try to reflash recovery and then another ROM and see if the problem persists.
For those who don't know how to check your Serial number, it's right above your android version, at the "About phone" section on Settings.
I still need advice on which Recovery I should use.
Anyway, thank you guys. I probably would't be able to solve this without your help.
UPDATE: I've installed TWRP 3.1.0.0, and also rooted the phone using it. Still on stock ROM. Everything seems to be still working without problems. I think I'll stick with it for now. Maybe later I'll try to lash a Custom ROM and see if it still works.

Hi,
I'm glad you fixed you're problem. Sticking on Stock ROM is the best thing you can do if you need your phone as every functionnality is checked and working.
I personnaly use TWRP as recovery, its good you got usb, root and everything you need to backup/restore your phone + reset your phone.
