[SOLVED] Unable to install google maps after restore to factory :( - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm unable to install google maps after restore to factory defaults
Tried to flash different gapps zip from cwm, but didn't help. Later found out that there's no google maps in there.
Tried gapps fixer zip - didn't help.
Tried to install from market, got error: "incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID"
Installation from apk fails.
Also tried to delete maps.apk from system but it says "read only", adb remount fails with some permissions error, but titanium backup works fine & cwm flashes (but restores to stock after second reboot), so I suppose root is ok?
Can someone post google maps zip for cwm or advice me on the situation?
/Nexus S 4.0.4 I9020 IMM76D unlocked & rooted/

There's a couple threads on xda about factory reset messing up Google apps like maps and YouTube. You're supposed to delete something in apps but I don't remember exactly what it is. Do a search for the thread. Sorry I don't have more details

all I could find leads me to flashing gapps, but google maps is not in there!
Also I cannot delete maps.apk from system, it's ready only for me & if I try to manage permissions from root explorer it says read only

Try reflash superuser and than try delete it throught any filemanager with root acces

all you can do is reflash gapps. i had the same problem. for some reason the phone comes with google maps, but if u factory reset it, you don't get it, because it's restricted to some regions

[Q] Android Market problem on HTC Inspire

I rooted my phone to CM7 a few days ago and ever since the market changed to google play i have to download the apk files for apps off of the interwebs. i wanted to install the market but every time it opens i get an error message saying it force closed. tried all the remedies including reflashing CM7, re installing the market, clearing all data and cache, etc. I finally downloaded Google Services Framework, and it loaded all the way up to where i could add my google account and accept terms and services, but now it's right back to force closing on me. Help?

Ported ICS Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

Hi,
I'm using ported ics with badsouls rom. I get this error when I try to download something on the play store.
when I delete my google account and add it again after a reboot, I can download all the apps again.
But after some hours the error repeats. someone know how to fix the error? Could it be an error because of superchargerv6 and the modified services.jar file?
thank you for your help
What rom are you using?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2021722 this one
edit: oh sorry my fault, while linking the thread, I read that badsoul fixed the error.
what is the best solution to install the newer rom without deleting all my apps / settings?

There isn't a way that I know of where you don't need to wipe data. I just use titanium backup to backup all my apps and settings.
Go to settings/account and sync remove your account. then re-add it.. and wait until it sync completely try that and let me know..
you can flash the new rom ontop of the other without wiping.. i recommend wiping cache and delvik
I installed v1.1, but have the same problem.
I even downloaded a new phonesky.apk like suggested in badsouls thread.
After I wipe cache / dalvkit and delete google account, I can download apps short after it.
But after some hours the problem comes back.
wipe
you can wipe data or reFlash rom .
I did already both, but error is still their.
I got NEWMAN N1 , some application were fine to install with Market some others (like Instagam) )I got error (RPC:..)
Finally I solved it by install via Chrom browser.
I don't want to re install account, why to do it ? , gmail is fine... all is fine...
Why google can't fix this LAME error

[Q] Play store issue

Yesterday I updated my ROM, radio and rpm to the BLK3 release of cleanrom lite... love it.
Anyway, in the play store it shows all of my google programs and, curiously, SU program as uninstalled... even though they are there.
Also shows play services as uninstalled.
When I installed the rom i selected backup to google but not restore (as I have done many times)
anyway... ideas on how to fix... it's been 24 hours so it didnt resolve itself

First step is to clear data for "Play Store." If it's still present after that, reflash the rom and see if it's resolved.

ok, cleared data and cache for both play store and play services... rebooted to recovey and wiped cache partition... same situation
any other thoughts... i dont want to reinstall if poss
And did you reflash the rom without wiping?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I had wiped/cleared cahce dalvik bat stats...
ok, so i just reinstalled rom (after clearing above again)
in google play now the only thing shoing as installed is play services
should be at least gmail search etc
help... i love my rom
This may sound like overkill but uninstall each app then reinstall them from the market. I checked out the thread and as of yet, nobody has reported any issues akin to yours.
As for SU, I'd suggest installing SuperSU, granting it root and then uninstalling SU. That should work itself out if my line of thinking is correct.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
OK, here's where I'm at now...
reinstall ROM and no other apps from play store
when i go to play store online it shows one app installed... google play services
the problem is that when i attempt to download any of the apps on the rom already... gmail, youtube, su etc...
it says already on phone (on the s3 itself)
so it never recognizes that these eight? apps are installed
curiously... it says i downloaded play services... which i did not
i would hate to have to go to another rom but i'm lost at this point... my concern is that i will never be able to update these essential apps if i just let it go
Idk what to say besides redownloading and checking the md5 before flash then doing a full wipe. I just temporarily downloaded/installed CleanRom LE and I have just gmail, google search, maps, voice search, and YouTube installed according to the Play Store. I have a total of 27 apps in my app drawer and I deselected everything for Backup/Restore in Settings/Backup and Reset
Edit: I wiped both Factory reset and System (full wipe) and it worked for me just now. I'm reading that simply reflashing didn't help. You might want to do a full wipe this time.

[Q] RH-01 Error when trying to open Google play store

I just rooted my phone from Jelly Bean 4.1 and am running the latest stable CM10 rom out. I also installed gapps, but wasn't sure if I had installed the right version. When I try to open the Google Play store, I get an error that says "Error retrieving information from sever. [RH-01]". My Wi fi and 4G are both on. I can access internet via stock browser. Also, when I try to search something it tells me that Gmail has stopped working.
same thing here, after i installed lots of apps to my microsd's 2nd partition using link2sd, i got all apps except system apps disappeared from 'My apps' at google play store though i could still see them as 'installed' when i search their names at google play store
i used link2sd to link around 900 mb of lib, dex and apk files, my second partition is ext 3, im using jellyblastv3 with kuro kernel that supports up to ext 4 my microsd is 16 gb and partition is around 1024 ~ 1078 mb
This didn't happen to me before, well im not used to link this lot of files but you know galaxy y has 195 mb internal storage and dalvik cache takes most of it and the apps that use app2sd method still take some space from internal so i also linked them.
The methods i tried :
Fixing using titanium backup market doc (after a cache, data cleaning of app store)
Tried to mess with link2sd, tried everything except 'relink all' but the problem is not about link2sd, all my apps are working fine
Deleting play store cache & deleting google framework cache and data, THAT led me to this error, while i was trying to get the other apps to show up in my apps list things gone worse.
I couldn't find any solutions on the internet for link2sd, been googling this for last 3 days, i'd appreciate any help
I've had the same issue. Erasing cache doesn't help, removing Google account doesn't help, reflashing doesn't help. I had to restore a backup to get the play store back.
I had the same issue with my phone, whenever I factory reset my phone I get that error. I had to flash through Odin, to another stock ROM and then go from there. Was never able to get around it or figure out why it wouldn't work.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Fixed but still got problems
My error was caused coz i messed up with 'google framework' at gemini app manager too much, it changes app auto runs and i didn't know anything about google framework back then, i re-enabled some autoruns and its fine now, you could also try that app, its free on google app store
BUT i still couldn't find a solution to this :
I have got total of 210 ~ 216 apps installed on my phone including system apps, theres only like 16 showing up on the market (which i reinstalled or newly installed them recently from google play store) the rest aren't displayed at 'my apps' page, but i can still see them as 'installed' when i go to their download pages.STILL i can't update them, while appbrain market tells me they are outdated (its expected as i didn't update any programs due to this problem for last 2 weeks) google play store just shows 'Open, uninstall' options at app's download page
Is there any ways to fix this without losing all my apps data? I tried reinstalling from old backups but no luck, i don't wanna lose my apps data and i don't know how to backup my data without apks included
Bump.
Anyone else figured out any fixes. This seems to be affecting several people.
Go to apps- all google play store, clear cache, data and disable. Then google services framework clear cache and data and force stop. Reboot. Should get a notification for updates and go back into apps- all scroll to the bottom and enable play store. This has worked for me the last few times I got this error.
By the way I solved the problem by flashing the correct gapps for 4.1
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
fix for my error
****EDIT**** : Can only get apps installed from google play store work, the rest (like installed from sd card) won't get linked to play store
looks like i found the fix, reinstall every single app (got 216 atm ) with their orginal APK without using titanium.It seems like titanium had problems while backing my apks up, perhaps its something about titanium failing to sync my data (i usually do full backups with data so this shouldn't happen) Devs should really create some apps - scripts to fix this kind of sync problems, i found only one app @ xda so far, but it scans the google play store database, not all of the databases on the phone, even if i point my ext as database it won't work, its so annoying how i gotta reinstall my whole 216 apps, probably gonna take one day cause i don't have backups of all my apks, only big ones (such as games).
if you don't wanna get same errors as i did :
use the default play store
NEVER use nandroid advanced restore unless you know what your doing
make sure titanium backup works well
always backup your data before flashing anything that has something to do with your system (such as roms, scripts)
NEVER use autorun managers on system apps (last time i disabled some autoruns about sms service, it took 1 - 2 days for my msgs to appear at my friends' phones.)

what is the right gapps?
Another problem...
seems like most of the apps that i install from my SD don't get linked to google play store, they aren't even in the database, only apps that are installed from google store got their links correctly, someone help please
NOTE : i also get 'error retrieving info from server, RPC:s-5:AEC-0 if i wipe dalvik cache via CWM
IMPORTANT UPDATE : It seems like my apps divided into 2 different adroid IDs, probably cause titanium wasn't able to detect my new ID,
Any suggestions about syncing my android apps' IDs without having to reinstall them?

[Q] Uninstalled Google Play Store and unable to restore it

Hi.
I accidentally removed google play store through Titanium Backup and I'm unable to restore it. Will a hard reset fix this? I am rooted through C. F. Root.
*edit:
Nevermind, it didn't recover. I guess I'll have to flash GAPPS or flash the entire rom. #Ugh.

Hi!
Extracting the app and PM-ing you a download link should be fairly easy.
The app IS however proprietary software albeit free of charge, so i'm not absolutely sure it's kosher within XDA.
Thoughts anyone?
Regards
Elo.
searching in google (not playstore) as "google play apk" you should easily find the apk
"Hard reset" ie. factory reset won't fix it as factory reset clears all the user data stored on /data partition. The Google Play store app was stored on /system partition.
You have two possibilities:
1) - Download the newest Play Store apk from http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-play-store-5-2-12-2-android-apk-download/
- rename the downloaded apk to "Phonesky.apk" (case sensitive! this is how the genuine file is named...)
- open some kind of root file manager, ie. Total Commander, and copy the Phonesky.apk to /system/priv-app directory and set its permission to 664 (or rw-rw-r--)
- reboot and Play Store shall be restored.
2) reflash stock rom with odin - it will completely restore /system partition.
Just reflash the stock firmware over it. Shouldn't even wipe your data.

Sharing the Google apps, Samsung apps etc is perfectly legal within XDA. Sharing unmodified apps is also perfectly legal. The Warez rules only apply to bypassing the need to pay for an app or in-app purchase.
In fact, the Google Play apk's are shared thousands of times on XDA (even on the front page). Same for the Samsung apps.
