It is Google services Framework that must be clear to receive update + the google, google play services and locatuon services.
Plus after clearing go back to the vpn app and reactivate the tunnel.
Do not put sim back until update will be installed
Worked for me.
I get it before this post, but it's similar. In my case, I just changed the system language to English (for view all the apps mentioned) instead of timezone. And don't needed to remove my accounts (even Google accounts). Gps off and without SIM cards. About the apps to clear data, when clear Google Services Framework, it's recomended to force stop too. After all, I start vpn in India server and try to update. And it's done! Very similar. Works for me. Maybe works for someone else.

I've tried it with Torguard VPN, it didn't work but after using Psiphon Pro VPN it works.

You are right.
With method of the OP it worked to upgrade to pie.
But as already forecasted in your post, push notifications stopped working properly after upgrading.
Workaround without factory resetting the whole ROM seems to be reinstalling the apps which need Google Cloud messaging services, to obtain a new ID. E.g. for WhatsApp, that worked for me.
So think twice if this trouble is worth to you.
Thanks to Midomad to this useful link.

Run this command in a root terminal then reboot and reopen the apps, no need to reinstall, though I still recommend a factory reset

Push notifications of what apps? On my phone i did twice (clear data from framework) and push notifications are working as they should be.
PS: U don't need to remove your google account to do the process. Wiping the apps do the trick.

Here is another recent thread from miui forum for last year's Mi A1.
If this not enough for you,you can make some search on google about clearing Google service framework data.
If, after all, you're still not convinced!
Do whatever you want, just be more polite answering users next time.

For me in WhatsApp, the german weather app "WarnWetter" and Xing.
I'll observe if other issues come up and will then consider a factory reset.

It's true, you won't receive notifications from many apps like twitch, restoring backup from titanium backup has the same effect, but running the command above is enough to solve it

Since not everyone is rooted,and from my experience,a factory reset is the only safe solution available after resetting GSF data!
I think waiting for an OTA update, is easier than looking how to fix things on you're device.

I know others have experienced this error. No one mentions a fix. Just flashed lightspeed 4.3 and its virtually unusable without being able to download from the market. Can some kind soul enlighten me?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
This self resolved after about 30 minutes of trying.
When that happened to me I deleted the market and flashed newer gapps
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
Before doing all that, try clearing cache and data from the Market (now called "Google Play Store") in App settings. That did the trick for me.
I had to manually select my Gmail account from within Google Play..

if you're not using Clockwork rom manager you should. I have cwm5.0 and I rooted my phone with cm9-ics and was getting a 921 error. I went and ran the "permissions fix" in CWM and everything works fine now
Permissions fix in recovery can cause its own set of problems, like borking your contacts photos, and a couple other things I can't remember off-hand. Easily fixable, but it would probably be better to target a more specific fix for the Market/Play rather than trying such a global fix. Just my opinion...
Google Play cant update apps error 921
yo,
i am running sgs2 with CheckRom RevoHD v4 and had error 921 on google play/androidmarket. restarted phone seems fine all updates worked.
jess
This error is still happening
its not a problem with your devices, i cant even see my apps on the website. its a google play glitch and is wide spread but not every device appears to be affected in the same way. very strange.
i have tryed all fixes and still the same
921 could be only CM
After installing 3.5.16 it gave me the 921 error.
I have a Moto XT701, and I use ava's version of CM7.
could this be related to CM specifically? Anyone got the error with a stock ROM?
next time it happens can you log into google talk, I remember back in the day if that wasnt signed in market would be borked
Solution
After some digging here is what worked for me:
I added my wifes gmail account to accounts and sync
I changed google play store to the new account
I checked to see if updates were working (they were)
I changed google play store back to my account
I removed my wifes gmail account (system settings > accounts and sync > select account > remove account
It is working fine now. I can update and download without error.

Hi,
I have a Navon Platinum 10 tab, ICS 4.0.4 on it. I had this error, too.
I read some alternatives for fixing google play errors, but I tired to delete my account and add acount and clear cache and so one... I resolved that by this way:
- turn on your tab device
- do not start play store application!
- in Settings-->Applications menu, on All tab search for gogle play application, and clear cahe and data too. You need to do this only once time.
- run Root Browser on your device ( if you have'n this, than download, install, or you may use Root Explorer if you have)
- find vending.apk in System/App folder
- long click on it, a local menu will appear. Chose Permissions.
- set permissons 777 for this file ( klikk on every checkbox).
- close all running apps
-restart your device, and enjoy
It works fine, Since I set this permissions, I don't get any errors from google play,
Hope, it will helps.
P.S.: sorry for my misstakes in english language
All of the sudden I kept getting a notificaton that Google Play Services wasn't supported on my device and was unable to login to Google. I deleted my account and try to re-add it to no avail. I also tried to reflash the rom+gapps (dirty), I still cannot login to Google. I also tried clearing cache & data on Play Store & Play Services, no luck.
How do I go about solving this?

I think I found a possible solution to this issue since after doing this I no longer have this issue. Here are the steps I did.
From the Home Screen, goto Settings > Apps
Swipe to view ALL and select Google Play services
Select Clear data
Select Force stop
Power Down the device
Remove battery (you can probably be fine with just a battery pull rather than power down & battery pull)
Power up the device
Once phone has completely booted up verify if the issue is still present or not by going into Google Now (Swipe up from the Home button or how ever you may access Google Now)
Guys, if you're still encountering this, or if anyone happens across this page, check and make sure you're set for network time in the date and time settings. Otherwise it will make your device encounter major conflicts with security certificates for most of the services offered from Google.
I had this on my LG O2x right now. A simple reboot fixed it.
Basically I tried to force my phone to get the 4.3 OTA update by forcing Google System Framework to stop and clearing data/cache. It didn't work and it messed up Google Play.
Another website said to delete my Google account, restart my phone, delete play store data, and then add my account back. So I did that and it let my accounts sync which is good but I still can't download anything from the play store.
How do I fix it?
Try to similarly clear data and cache from both running applications
Google play services
Google play store
Then run play store and see what happens

I have exactly the same problem for the same reason. And, tried the same suggested steps without success.
There has to be a simple way to restore the download ability from the Google Play Store without wiping everything. The download error dialogs I get are all the same: "…could not be downloaded due to an error. [Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]
Are there any risks in restoring my phone? I can't seem to figure it out any other way, but I am worried something bad will happen if I restore it.

by restoring do you mean restoring an earlier nandroid through recovery?
I'm afraid there are risks with everything, although restoring is normally ok, although you won't guarantee that'll resolve the issue that you've currently got, you may also lose text messages and other system changes made post restore.
You could always take a backup before restore so that you have an additional safe point to return to if you decide that option although.
I'd be tempted to re try all the changes you've already done in one go (wiping the various three apps and also removing Google account), as in the past when I've experienced play store issues it's those type of changes that have resolved it rather than restore, which I'd normally use in the event of more severe problems ie corruption, data loss or bad Rom flash.
Fixed!
I believe I solved my own problem basically with a bunch of “Clear Data”s and reboots. Nothing major lost and no restore.
1. Settings > Apps > All (flick right) and find Google apps that are not downloading. Clear data (button). Also, find Google Services Framework and its Clear data (button). Reboot.
2. Settings > Accounts > Google > tap account name to view all items sync’d. Remove account (dropdown menu). Reboot.
3. Repeat the first step including the reboot.
4. Settings > Accounts > Add an account > Google. Existing (button) and select the account you previously removed. Reboot.
5. Wait a little, the problem apps should restore and begin their downloads to sync or update.
6. For some reason other Google apps remained a problem including Maps. Repeat the Clear data steps for these and the Google Services Framework. Remove Google account again. Select the existing account again.
7. Everything should now mostly be back to normal. Locations in Maps were all still there, but downloaded maps were gone.
hi everyone. i have rooted using CF Root for my SM G900F
installed alliance rom fine using philz touch recovery( am now on PAC MAN ROM so i know this issue isnt ROM specific)
i am unable to install any apps via playstore or pushing to phone from online store. getting error message:
'RPC:S-7:AEC-0'
driving me crazy. have cleared data and cache from play store and google services, removed google account, rebooted, added account.
still same error message, any ideas. phone is pretty unusable without apps. gmail works, play books works, just not able to add apps.
have done all work arounds possible but no joy.
i have been able to restore apps from a titanium backup but paid versions dont register as paid and i cant update any apps
very frustrating
does anyone have any ideas before i log a support call with the google boffins?
The usual answer is to update your Google play store app. And failing that, wipe the cache, reboot and then recreate the Google account. You didn't say whether you have the latest play store app version.
Did you try resolving the issue exactly as follows?
RPC:AEC:0 error (CPU/RAM/Device/Identity failure)
First ensure that you are using the latest version of the Google Play Store app.
If the problem persists, then:
Go to settings > application > Play Store > clear data & clear cache
Go to accounts > Google > remove account
Reboot to recovery mode > wipe system cache
Reboot phone normally
Settings > account > Google > log in.

yes, had a support call with google this morning. they escalated the support ticket and emailed me stupid fixes that i already told them dont work.
its a google server issue for sure
i have managed to install a titanium backup of most of my apps but the paid ones dont register as being paid and i cant update anything at the moment.
Account issue
It appears that this is an account issue. I am having the same problem on multiple devices with my Google Apps account, but my gmail account is working just fine on those devices.
Google is evidently aware of it, and its gotten a little press on Android Police. Whatever you do, don't listen to what people are saying and factory reset the device. IT doesn't help, and all it winds up doing is removing access to all of your paid / no paid apps.
A small discussion has sprung up on the Google Wallet forum here.
Definitely a play server issue. I have the same error code started about 2 days ago. It's on my s4, nexus 7 and tf201. If I log on with a different account then there is no problem. If you log in through windows to the play store then you will also not be able to see your purchased apps. I'll give them a call tomorrow if it hasn't resolved itself.
I am in the same boat. When cache clean, removing and adding account didn't help I tried factory reset. Didn't help. Rooted and went to CM. Still nothing. At that point reached Google and was told they will get back as it looks like a known issue. Not a single app on my phone right now as nothing is restored from play store. It's very annoying. Have this issue on my Nexus 4 and 7. Although I did all this on 4 only.

I just wanted to let everyone know what my fix ended up being after days of troubleshooting....
I went to my PC and went to google and looked up the Google play device manager, when on this site I chose my device and allowed it to find my device on Google maps after finding it I pressed the ring my device button and also the lock screen button and changed my password... When I did this I was then able to download stuff again....
I spoke with Google about this also and they said this error is caused when your device is not synchronized with the Google servers and what needs to be done is your device needs to be reconnected to the server, so other fixes are removing your account, uninstalling google play store updates and clearing cache, clearing cache for Google play store and restarting your device, then readding your account and attempting to download again.... Google will recommend you format your phone but I recommend not doing this cause you will lose all your apps and not be able to download them ... it did not fix my issue, I tried all of these and the first I mentioned worked for me after 5 days of issues...
Good luck all,

hi, i tried everything from above and did not work. After some more research it worked like this:
1 - . On your Android device , we go to Settings
2 - . Then Applications, and inside we go to the All tab
. 3 - Here locate and click on Google Services Framework
. 4 - Once inside we delete the cache, then We delete the data and force stop.
. 5 - repeat these operations also advise with Google services with Google Play and Play Store
. 6 - After reboot phone and attempt to download / update an application and see if everything went well .
I have problems downloading files in some apps (Tapatalk, 4PDA...) and installing apps from Google Play on Nubia Z17 Lite - the download stops working at one time. Sometimes it helps to change the WiFi network, but sometimes I have to clear Google Play and Google Play Services cache and memory and reboot the phone. Does anyone know of any lasting solution to this problem? Thank you in advance

I have the same problam. Help
I had same problem.I go to apps and force stop Google play stroe and Clear data.Also i do same to Google Services and fix my problem every time.I hope Nubia fix this with update
I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:
For what it's needed: firstly , for those who do not use cloning, this is an unnecessary functionality; secondly , this chip conflicts with Google's synchronization (for example, with the G-board keyboard) and in general with all Google services. Who does not care about all this, you can not read further.
What you need: TWRP or root-access, PC and ADB
1. Delete CMVirtualbox.apk (located on the system / priv-app / CMVirtualBox path ) or just rename / delete the .apk extension to ease the rollback.
2. Connect the phone to the PC, run the command line (all the necessary drivers must be installed, debugging by USB is enabled, the start is made from the ADB folder), we write the command:
adb shell pm remove-user 10
and press enter. After success, reboot for persuasiveness.
As a result, cloning will be disabled, G-board keyboard messages "Synchronization on devices with G-Suite account or Android for work profile is not supported" will not appear any more and Google services will work more adequately. Successful to you of samples!
PS For rollback just return CMVirtualbox.apk , reboot, and everything returns to normal.

For me, the problem was resolved by uninstalling SwiftKey. For some reason, it blocks Google services and just stoping it's process or hibernating it using Greenify solves the problem immediately. Maybe it would help also to use sync with Microsoft account instead of Google in SwiftKey settings. I saw a similar issue also with Google Contacts app (Nubia Contacts works fine).
Since switching to Gboard, problem didn't appear again and Google Play and sync works without any issues.

You are welcome Although not rooting it would be pity...With root it is easier to get the phone into more useable state, like background apps not getting killed to get notifications on new messages properly etc. It helps to turn a few apps into system apps and/or add them in ProcessManager database as protected apps.
How to root?

I also suffer from this bug.
What's the easiest way to root the Nubia Z17 (global) lite?
Is there a step-by-step guide?
Thanks a lot

I think there is no detailed step-by-step guide, but you can gather information from threads about this phone. You mainly need to have ADB drivers, unlock bootloader, flash TWRP and from it flash Magisk.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=76842677&postcount=26 (you can just skip flashing boot.img and files init.qcom.post_boot.sh and .thermal-mode-01-01.conf, just flash magisk ZIP instead)

LATEST UPDATE: Now I'm stuck in the "Nubia...Powered by Android" start screen. This happened after I tried to install v1.05. This opened the TWRP screen in Chinese. I selected the bottom-right button and then again the bottom-right and chose English and then rebooted.
I can still get into twrp mode by long pressing the volume down + power keys.
What steps do I need to take to make the phone boot properly again?
-----
-- I posted this section below earlier before I had this boot problem

I finally found the time (and the courage) to try this out.
SuperSu was installed so hopefully I didn't miss anything. Does it mean that the device is rooted?
I can successfully get into su mode with a terminal app.
Also, I have two root checker apps. One is showing that the device is rooted, and the other shows that it's not.
All my apps and settings remained as they were.
IS THIS OK? I expected that the process will wipe all the data.
I didn't flash majisk. IS IT NEEDED IF THE DEVICE IS ALREADY ROOTED?
And lastly, I still can't download from the play store
Any suggestions on that issue?
Thank you so much

How did you install v1.05? You need to do it from emergency recovery using OTG cable/adapter, not from TWRP.
If you went from LineageOS to stock, you need to wipe data from emergency recovery, because the storage is encrypted.

I tried to install v1.05 from the settings->System Update->Local Update menu (http://blog.geekbuying.com/2018/03/official-global-versionzte-nubia-z17-lite-snapdragon-653-android-7-1-smartphone-firmware-20180316/).
Before that I had the global stock version 1.04.
What can I do now?

1. You can try wiping data & cache partitions.
2. Use that emergency recovery and flash zip over OTG from there again.

Thank you,
I already tried that.
The problem is that in emergency recovery mode the thumb drive that is connected with OTG cable is not recognized.
In TWRP I can mount that drive, but in emergency recovery mode its not mounted.
UPDATE: I tried different USB drives. One of them mounted. I found that this one was formatted in FAT. Since this is a small 2Gb drive that cannot hold the ROM, I found another drive that was formatted in ExFAT that also loaded correctly.
I loaded the ROM as suggested and now the phone is working again.
My guess is that the phone can't read NTFS file format in emergency recovery mode.
Thank you!!!

Yes, NTFS is not supported very well on Android. Use just FAT32, that should work fine. ExFAT also works only somewhere....

I am also having problems with Play Store and Google account synchronization - it worked fine for a few days, but then Play Store stopped downloading/updating any apps (it is stuck on Downloading, but doesn't start to download anything) and synchronization to my Google Account doesn't work.
I tried various methods, like rebooting, removing data&cache of Play Store+Google Play Services+Download manager, uninstalling/reinstalling Play Store & Google Play services, removing/re-adding my Google account, wiping cache+dalvik from TWRP, but nothing helped. Then I realized that when I kill SwiftKey process, it started to work instantly. It seems that SwiftKey is blocking Google services mainly when I have synchronization to Google Account enabled. Then I noticed the same problem with Google Contacts app.
I suspect that it may be one of Nubia system apps what is causing these problems.
What I found is some text in a Russian forum, translated using google translator, it can be worth of trying to disable that app cloning service:

I renamed the CMVirtualBox.apk and also its folder, removed user10 and restarted, but that didn't help.
What did you use to kill the SwiftKey process? It's not installed as an app on my phone.
Thank you

In that case you probably don't have SwiftKey installed - it is not installed by default But if Play Store doesn't download and Google account sync doesn't work for you, it may be some different app causing the deadlock. You should go thru all apps and force closing them one by one...when you kill the problematic process, Play Store will start downloading immediately. You can do it from Settings - Apps, or use some app for that.
I really appreciate your help.
I forcefully disabled all apps but the problem remained.
