A501 won't download from Google Play or install other ROMs

Hi,
I have an Acer A501 on which I installed CWM and a custom rooted 3.2 ROM shortly after purchasing it in order to use a certain app that required root permissions. I noticed that after the root, the device would give me a "server error" when trying to download apps from Google Play, but I didn't really pay much attention to it, since I didn't download new apps very often and I figured I could just get APKs from other sources. Recently, though, I have been trying to give the tablet a new life by getting Google Play back to work (since searching for APKs on dodgy sites isn't exactly the most reliable way of getting new apps) and maybe installing ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 ROM and got rid of CWM, since I assumed it was the reason for Google Play not working, but apparently I was wrong, since I am still getting that error. I have also been trying to flash a stock ICS ROM, but every single one I've tried so far shows an error (the Android robot with the yellow warning sign) almost immediately after starting to flash. Does anyone know the solution to these problems? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Bump... Anyone?

Yeah, I remembered I had the same error.
Anyway, pls try to check this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038
In my case, I just removed the existing account. Then, add the same account & it is working OK.

Thanks for the link. As for removing and re-adding the account, I have done that multiple times, to no avail. I have tried force-stopping and clearing the cache of Google Services Framework, as suggested in the thread, but now, I get a connection error merely trying to add a Google account to the device... I even did a factory reset, but I still can't add a Google account, as if the Google Services settings hadn't been reset at all.
EDIT: I just realized that the reason I got a connection error after the factory reset was not being connected to Wi-Fi. However, after clearing the cache and data of Market, Google Services Framework and Download Manager, I get the same connection error while trying to add a Google Account, even while connected to a Wi-Fi network.
EDIT 2: I have rebooted the device, and now I'm back where I started. The error code is RPC:S-7:AEC-0 LOWQ-XYAM-M7MTS.

Any Luck? Same problem here with a stock A500 after a factory reset. I've tried two good google accounts. Getting "Google Talk Authentication Failed" and " Error retrieving data from server"

Google Play doesn't auto update apps

hello, I use android 5.0 lollipop.
Google play doesn't auto update and doesn't show notifications for update waiting apps. When I clear "data" for Google Play Store it starts to show notifications, but when I open Google Play , it asks me about google campaigns and agreements, I accept it, and after this process problem starts again.
I am sure this is about the "data" that Google Play uses. Problem disappears when I clear data. Problem starts again after first usage. (first window)
I tried deleting cache and data for Google play services too. I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps.
Thank you.

Try updating the play store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
And clear cache/data for google services / framework

i tried, still no luck.

ive been having issues with updating apps on my s5.
i got an error code 963
it seems to be with apps ive moved to sd card.
i read something about new android OS after a certain version are not allowing apps to stored in sd card.
i unistalled playstore and reinstalled it and i aldo moved the apps to device storage and both those actions or one of them by itself allowed the apps to update
i dont know if it was just uninstalling the playstore or moving the app to device storage though. thought id share my experience
mine is the sm-g900r4

You already said "I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps"
What extra do you think you can achieve without re-flashing a ROM, that a factory reset couldn't fix?

sorry i am just a beginner user ,i have 2 questions
-if i do flashing rom will my phone out of warranty?
-can i see/change Google Play Store files on my phone? i have no root access
thanks.

No you won't lose warranty flashing STOCK ROMs with ODIN
You will lose warranty if you flash anything custom
Which Google store files are you talking about?
And if you had access to them, being a beginner, what would you be looking for, and what would you change, again, that a factory reset did not achieve ?

Unbelievable !
I flashed last stock rom but problem continues.

I check manually most days, and just update any that are sitting waiting
Not sure if there is like a set time period it waits before auto updating, but the notifications for available updates will likely only happen if you disable auto updates, otherwise it has no reason to tell you there are updates waiting, it will/should just update them and tell you once it's done
So try this:
1. Disable auto updates in Google Play settings
2. Wait for a few days until there are some updates available
See if you get notifications
If yes, try this:
1. Enable Auto updates in Google Play
2. Wait a full week without manually updating, see if they auto update

Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) can't "Verify my account" google

A3 device (A310FXXU1AOL7) can't virify my google account After wiping data in recovery mode. It doesn't want to register my e-mail and pass which were associated with my phone on first boot(refreshes the page)
Factory data reset youtube method didn't help (((( After wiping data have the same screen
How can this problem else be solved manualy?

I'm guessing wrong details.
Your Google account should be the same as your Gmail login details.
Can you log in?

play services are installed by default and i already have play store installed. i don't see how this could help

I also have the same issue since last 2 days after the Oreo update. I tried every possible things needed or advised but I am still helpless.

I also got this error 2 days ago. When I was on Android 7.1.1, I updated to 8.0.0 officially but the problem was not resolved.

me too last 2 days

I have same problem last 3 days.
Device recognised by Google Play as uncertified. Maybe problem in that?

There is a solution but I do not know how to do this without root

I managed to downgrade my Nokia 6 to 7.1.1 and rooted it again.
To solve this problem:
1. Root your Nokia 6
2. Delete /system/etc/permissions/services.cn.google.xml
3. Install GMS and Play Store
This issue happens on every China Variant Android Phone.
To downgrade, you only have two choices:
1. Find a Service Center that could help you to downgrade. Just find an excuse like "Android Oreo feels buggy and it seriously affects my experience".
2. Accoring to an article ( https://alephsecurity.com/2018/01/22/qualcomm-edl-5/ ) EDL Cable method is blocked with Android O Update, you have to disassemble your phone and short these two pins according to this article ( https://alephsecurity.com/2018/01/22/qualcomm-edl-1/ ).
You know, always do backup before processing.

flashing back to 7.1.1 isn't even possible anymore.. we're pretty much ****ed..

Damn. So no way to downgrade with the OST LA tool?
I live in Germany and have a chinese TA1000. l witnessed the 404 error on play store yesterday, so I did a factory reset in hope of fixing the issue. And then: playstore still didn't work and on top of that all apps were gone at this point. So now I use apkpure app and also download apks from the developers directly (if available).
Is this a permanent block or just a temporary issue?

Nokia 6 TA 1000 Play. Store error
Use a VPN such as Turbo VPN and run play store it will work.I have try with USA server.:laugh:

Today, the Google Play Store app has been downloaded without a 404 error on the Nokia 6 TA-1000. Google has fixed the bug?

Try This
Go To setting - app
Chose three dot icon on right top and chose show system
go to google services framework
and clear chace (warning !!! .. only chace )
restart your phone and try to open play store ..

Today, Instagram update worked, webview didn't and Swiftkey didn't.
VPN does not help,
Emptying Google Services Framework does not help.
Google Calandar Sync does also not work or better: the google calendar synced with it does not display in calendar and under accounts google clander does not appear.

Factory Reset your phone maybe will work fine ..

Factory Reset is what got me into this predicament in the first place!
Don't do that!
All apps were gone, PlayStore is being blocked on chinese phones, so you can't reinstall most apps through PlayStore.

Samsung Galaxy Tab E (SM-T377P) - Activation Loop

I have a set of Sprint Tab E devices that seem to be getting stuck in an activation loop. These were all used so I have no idea what the previous owner did with them. When I boot into download mode, it shows 0x0 by the Knox Warranty indicator so it appears the fuse hasn't been tripped.
The device turns on, goes into activation, says it needs to reset, wash rinse repeat. Any ideas on what could cause this and how I might be able to fix it?
I also have another set that appears to activate but does not connect to LTE. I think these have had the software flashed at one point because the home screen after factory reset has a different background than the ones I've had that were good. I have not tried flashing anything as of yet.
Thanks for any and all advice, direction, etc!

I have found a solution to the activation loop for anyone who needs it.
Step 1: Ask Sprint care to do an OMADM Refresh. It can’t be any other kind of refresh. Must refresh OMA specifically.
Step 2: Reset the activation on the device:
1. Go to Apps -> Calculator (By default, Calculator app is located in Samsung folder) then type (+30012012732+
2. Dial ##72786#
3. Tap Yes
The device will activate once more. May loop once as well. Then it will stop looping.

For the tablets not connecting to LTE, I reflashed the stock software to the tablet and they now activate and connect to data. This created a new problem with google play services. When I try to access any of the google apps (play store, gmail, etc.) I get an error stating that google play services has stopped working. I've tried all of the following:
1) Clear cache and data of both google play store and google play services.
2) uninstall updates of google play store and google play services.
3) clear cache of google play framework
4) download and install latest google play services (not even sure if it was the right one. Tried armeablev07 no dpi.
5) factory reset (this stuck me in the "checking for updates" stage on one with google play services constantly shutting down. won't be trying this again)
I am completely at a loss at this point. My next step is to try rooting the device and uninstalling google play services all together then reinstalling with a fresh APK then removing root and/or flashing back to stock ROM. My concern is that this will tick the knox indicator and i'd prefer to keep it intact if at all possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

For anyone that can understand this, here is the logcat file from when I attempt to sign in to the google play store. Any ideas what is happening here?
