Hi I have been trying to solve this for the past 4 hours and I am going in circles!
I uninstalled a bunch of apps trying to clear some memory and I think I have taken out some important system apps. I have a P500 which was on stock GB, the phone is rooted and I've now been booting some different roms but I still keep having problems. The setup wizard has gone, so I can't sync my gmail account, and so I can't access google play.
Originally I had a problem where the screen was blank only when unlocked, I could pull down the drawer but couldn't access anything. I did a factory reset but same problem. I did installed a completely stock Froyo and got the same problem I have installed gmail from the sd card, but it doesn't open once installed.
In accounts under settings there is no option for gmail, just exchange and corporate. This is the same with all the roms I have tried.
If this has been brought up before can someone please link me the solution?
Thankyou in advance

Any app(paid or free) won't go past the "Download Starting..." Status. It has been driving me crazy for hours now. I've restored the phone with the latest RUU 3 Times now, I've tried the stock rom, modaco, and TTG. Its a Google Phone w/ Recovery 1.5.2. I'm getting annoyed with the phone and I'm about to through it out, It has been working nearly perfect(random slow downs and crashes) until today.
i had the same problem
i had to do a total wipe of the phone to get it back to normal
I flashed it with the RUU? Isn't that the way to "fully" wipe it?
Same here. I did ruu then flashed fresh 1.1 and gumbo kernel. All my apps were in my downloads but they wouldn't download to the phone. Stayed stuck at application downloading. Did a nandroid backup and that fixed it.
I completely wiped everything, with these commands:
Code:
wipe /
wipe -data
wipe /data
wipe -all
I don't know which commands worked for doing what but I couldn't even boot into android or recovery.
Um..
Its a market wide issue... No reset is gonna help.. It was just circumstance that you thought that...
I'm a Sprint Tech, and it has been brought to my attention all day, whether you have a Hero or a Moment, its sporadic outages.
Did you use a task manager or anything that disables apps on start-up?
I had that problem until I figured out disabling Google Talk from start-up gave me that problem. Opening Google Talk, magically fixed the problem for me. May or may not be the case for you, but something to think about.

That sucks, the day I choose to reflash the market is down. Oh well. Anyone know how to do a FULL Wipe or were my commands right?
Need to open google talk and sign in.
That fixed it for me, and a few of my friends!
I experienced this problem, and found that A2SD is the cause.
Not sure if you're using it nor not.
Try this LINK HERE
Read post #37 by me and try it this should fix the issue without doing a wipe
I've fixed the issue, I had to boot into fastboot and manually delete everything on the phone(directory "/") and used the latest RUU. I manually rooted the phone and installed the 1.5.2 Recovery. I did a factory reset, deleted dalvik-cache and boot-cache and installed a custom rom. I couldn't get service but a reboot fixed it. I have 150mb free space on my phone and market works without problems.
or could have just signed into gtalk...
Has anyone tried signing onto gtalk?

Sound like your problem wasn't just a market problem.
All you actually had to do was change your Gmail password. The phone will then force you back through the Google account sign-in process. This fixes most Gmail syncing issues and Market download issues.

are you using wi-fi to download the app? I never had much success doing that myself. always had to use EVDO.
I've had issues with my phone where google services would eat up all my battery like 50%+.. To temp rid of this issue I would freeze google services, then when I wanted to check out the market I would have defrost services and update gmail info to use market. Now I get the issue stated above. Ive read of a youtube trick, but when I click "my channel" it says sign in and add account which sends me back to Add a Google Account.. Are my only options a hard reset?

Factory reset would be the way to go!
I backed up sd card and did a factory reset, when phone rebooted into recover it said E:format_volume: rfs format failed on /dev/block/stl11. I restarted phone and same issue, not able to connect with market, yet file explorer was able to update by itself? Id like to try the youtube fix, but all i could find was the 2.4.4 version online and when I try to log on it sends me to sync.. Any other options? maybe hard reset??
Hmm.....I'd say GR then go from there.
I performed a one-click, had to download SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_1.5.4.0 after many failed attempts installing stock.. Then flashed vb-fb-build 3 twice consecutively and everything is much smoother Ive been flashing rom after rom etc etc.. So a clean install was good to do finally. Thanks for the help! If anyone has any questions feel free.

Google play store is gone forever!!!!
First off, my Pantech Flex phone is rooted. Secondly, I was messing around and deleting manufacturers bloatware, when I hit the delete button on Google Playstore. Now when I download the application from android police or any other sources, it always crashes saying "unfortunately, Google play has stopped." I tried any sources as mentioned above, and tried stock resetting the phone to factory settings many times. Nothing seems to work. I tried to install a custom rom, but I wasn't smart enough the steps to do it, by the author of that instruction. I'm sorry, but I'm a noob, just like you all were at one time, so please, Please help.

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-19300 8GB running on Anroid 4.3, rooted and custom ROM Manager installed. Recently all Google Play services have stopped working. I literally can't do anything. I can' t log in, can't use Youtube, can't open the Play store because it gives me the No connection- retry error, of course. I heard it was because of Freedom. I deleted the app and tried to re-install it... but I cannot even install apk files; not any kind of apk file. I tried to force-install it with an android terminal, but that doesn't work either. Aptoide also does not want to install anything. I basically deleted the cache for every google app & I uninstalled all updates; but all in vain. Nothing seems to work except for Whatsapp and the actual internet browser. Please help me, I really need my phone to work properly.
Thanks in advance, any kind of help is appreciated

Reflash Stock ROM via Odin (you wont lost anything on internal storage) or try flash any gapps for 4.x.x via custom recovery.

Download your stock ROM. Put it in your pc and then flash it using Odin.
U may also need to flash gapps using your custom recovery.

Ok. You have got the answer in this thread
But before that just try to do a factory data reset
If you have some important data, take a nandroid backup
And then do a factory data reset
And I may be a foolish in this but I am considering it because everything may be possible here, enable the background data if it is disable

Well, okay, I guess that's my only option, I have reflashed the Stock ROM and that hasn't fixed my problem either. Factory data reset it will be. I'll come back to you whenever I have done the data reset. I really hope this'll fix the problem, because I don't want to do a factory data reset at all. :/
Two days ago I decided to switch from cm12 nightlies to cm12s.
After performing a clean flash I was very pleased to see that I even had the option to restore the apps I had installed before. However, when trying to install those apps I encountered a problem. Because the apps would not download. They would say "Downloading"but it woult get stuck forever.
I had never experienced such problem before but so I thought it was the cm12s flash. So, I flashed back to the latest cm12 nightly I still had on my OPO with the hope that the problem would have vanished. Unfortunately it didn't.
MY PROBLEM:
When I try to install apps from the play store they get stuck in an endless loop of "downloading".
What I tried so far:
flashing back to a normal cm12 nightly
flashing cm11s and after that upgrading to cm12s (in cm11s the problem also persists, same for SOKP-rom to see if it would also persist in a different rom)
rebooting with and without superSU after flashing OS.
entirely wiping my phone (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and flashing cm12/s
after the step above^, deleting the data and/or cache from "Google Play Services", "Google play Store", "Google Play Framework" (and if possible deleting updates so it goes back to factory app)
changing location settings
deleting google account and re adding it.
clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache multiple times
using the 1-Click installer from their forum
Tried to find the android_secure folder but could not find it. (even with hidden files disabled in windows)
Perhaps even more but I can't quite remember much more...
I experienced after flashing a new os multiple times that the problem is not really the play store and/or the apps in it. But I believe the problem is more with the "Google Play Services" because most of the apps I can update perfectly fine but the "Google Play Services" continuously refuse to update and get stuck at "downloading". Unfortunately that app is needed to be able to use e.g "Gmail".
Hopefully there are more people on this forum who have experienced this problem before and know how to fix it.
Got the same crap... It's been 2 days now with the Store stuck on downloading.
I have all the latest updates, Store, Services etc.
Also tried to disable the security section like Enterprise.
Nothing works.... This is driving me mad!!!
Anyone got a fix?

Somehow it fixed itself......
What cought my eye was that if it is not working, try downloading the app via 3g or at your friends house... For some reason it would sometimes not download via wifi but it would via 3g.
I hope this works for you aswel

I didn't get it working again, so I removed all data and reinstalled the rooted firmware for my device and just did a backup with the mybackup pro.
Somehow there was something with the system or the data, but it works now.
