Cannot get the right version of Google Play Services - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Here are my specs:
Model: SM-G900F
Android: v5
Google Play Services: 6.1.88 (1557022-738).
I believe my bootloader is unlocked in my phone.
I have TWRP installed and I can root by flashing Super su, but not by Magisk.
The only ROM I have was downloaded, but I think it's official firmware - my file is (G900FXXU1BNL2_G900FXEO1BNL1_G900FXXU1BNL2_HOME.tar)
I've been trying on and off for about 2 years to get my S5 working how I'd like to and especially the last 2 days and everything has resulted in failure (Magisk failed, constant popups about services stopping). I'm getting really frustrated.
I think the root cause of my problems is my Google Play Services version. I tried updating through the Play Store and that installation kept getting popups of 'Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped' (even after cache wipes). I tried installing apks that were for Android v5, armeabi-v7a and 480 and 240 DPI (I tried a few different files) and I keep getting the Play Services have stopped error.
If I uninstall all updates, the phone will work OK, but of course I can't use many applications because I have to update Play Services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hope this helps. If so hit that thanks.

[Q] play store FC's

HI,
suddenly today, my play store stopped working - "unfortunately, google play store has stopped" is the message.
iv'e tried the following:
1. clear data (and cache) + force stop + disable goggle play store (from settings->app).
2. same as 1, but to the play services (and also uninstall updates for play services).
3. checked that download manager is enabled, and tried to disable-enable it.
4. uninstall and reinstall play store.
5. factory reset.
nothing works!!!
the closest i got was when i disabled-enabled the download manager, the play store didnt immediately stop - it was supposedly updating apps, but made no progress, and after couple of minutes it stopped again.
WHAT DO I DO?!
please, i really need your help
Do you by any chance have Swiftkey installed? I've read that is causing problems with gapps...

Google Play services & error 491

Hey guys, I updated my stock 4.4.4 N910H today to a 5.0.1 deodexed stock ROM, and my Google Play store can't download or update any apps. When hitting the update or install button, a pop-up says error 491. I've checked everywhere for solutions, and I tried doing the whole force-closing and clearing data and rebooting and removing Google account and wiping Dalvik, all of that. However, the problem persists. I even manually updated Google Play services and the Play Store through .apks.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

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

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?

[SOLVED] Can't re-install google play services and play store

Hi,
I have the EU version with latest stock firmware and root. Magisk modules ExOS and microg. I wanted to try the "google-free" experience with microg but many apps did not work properly because of course there is no signature spoofing.
So, I removed the microg package and now I am stuck with microg services. I tried to install the google play services but it gets installed as user app and not getting recognized as proper by the apps. Play store is also getting installed as user app and constantly crashing.
How can I reinstall the google play services and play store? I could not find any guide about it.
Thanks
I reinstalled the whole firmware but Play Store and Google Play Services are not installed. What is happening? Isn't a reinstall supposed to install everything again?
UPDATE: At some point I booted safe mode and then again normal boot and now it is back. Works as before.
