Play Store. Server error. Stock. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Got a S3 off ebay for a friend and it works fine except for the Play Store. The play store just gives a server error. I have done a factory reset and it still gives a error.
What could it be? I have cleared cache and data and everything else.

Since the apk is installed as a system app instead of user a factory reset won't do anything. Try going into settings>apps and clearing the data for the play store.

Done that already. Thinking of just putting a ROM on it.

Can't download apps from Google Play after ICS update

Hello,
I have updated my Atrix 2 from Android 2.3.6 to 4.0.4 (stock).
Now I can't download apps from Google Play. I have tried to delete cache and data of the store app.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Try removing and re-adding your Google account?
If that doesn't work, and since you already tried the cache and data, you may need to do a factory reset.

Clear your data from the Play Store and from Googles Services Framework apks and reboot your phone. That should take care of it.

Google play problem
I have also experienced the same i am having Motorola atrix 2 asia retail version i have also noticed the same issue sometimes the google play works properly and sometimes eventhough background data is enabled it shows a popup saying disable the background data, and google play doesnt work..
Please help me to rescue this issue.
I tried to download some apps through the 3G internet and I was able to download.
The problem is the WiFi i think.
Only factory reset will fix this issue?

play store not connecting

This is driving me nuts! Every time I install a rom on my verizon gs3, the play store will not connect. It doesn't matter what rom I use. I have tried Hyperdrive, Synergy, Cleanrom, Goodness and I don't what others. It is all the same. Play store will not connect after install. Google now will also tell me that there is no connection as well. I currently run Beans 15 and play store works perfectly. But I like to try new roms and I can't because of this issue.Things I have tried:
When I go to install any rom i first go in to mounts in CWM and format cache, data, sdcard and system, then i wipe cache again from main page, then wipe dalvik and then hit factory reset. Probably overkill but I like to make sure nothing is left from previous installs.
After install I start by clearing cache and dalvik and fix permissions and factory reset
Cleared the host files in the /etc and /system/etc
Backed up google play services and the play store from my beans install, installed them on new rom with no luck
My time and date are correct
My location is correct
Happens no matter the kernel (stock, KT747, zeus)
I have removed accounts rebooted and readded
I have reset app setting in app manager
I have cleared cache and data and force stopped in everything that starts with google
In my last install of cleanrom 7, google now actually worked, but the play store would not and hangouts threw an error saying it couldn't find google.
My 3g/4g works perfectly fine as well as my wifi. I can browse the net, get my email in gmail, my contacts are there and my calendar items show up. Have I missed something somewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am also runing the VRBMF1 firmware but was happening on MB1 as well. I would also note that everything else in all those roms runs perfectly.
What exactly happens when you try to connect to the play store?

Just says not connected or no connection with a retry button. Internet works fine though. Gets on with 3g/4g and wifi.

Have you tried just doing a basic wipe and install without all the other excessive stuff you keep doing? Optionally try clearing cache/data on Google Play and Google Frameworks. You shouldn't need to do all that stuff with permissions and copying files over.

Are you restoring anything via TiB or doing anything outside of flashing, rebooting and then entering your google account info?

No. Restoring nothing. Don't even use TiB. I reinstall the long way. But yes flash, boot and follow setup.
Tried again today with the newest beanstalk rom and MOAR rom and got the same results. everything but the play store and google now works perfectly. All i did before installing both of these was to factory data reset, wipe cache and dalvik. No other fancy formatting. At a loss for what to try next.
My s3 did the as,me thing and I had to load 4.0 ICS from Odin and there flash from there to keep my play store connectivity

Well so far so good. I flashed back VRBLK3 because that is what I had already downloaded and still didn't work. Even after all updates to VRBMF1. So I downloaded and Odin'd back to VRALG1 and the play store has worked all the way through latest updated. So that did it for anyone having the same issue. Odin back to VRALG1 and start over. Haven't installed a rom yet but am confident it will work. Will report back after I get one installed.
Edit: Well after flashing Hyperdrive 14 I am back in the no connection phase with the play store. Man this sucks.
That's really strange bro, as long as I Odin a factory rom, I can flash whatever and keep my connectivity. I'm currently on cleanrom 7. But as soon as I factory reset it won't connect

I think you may have hit it right there. I installed hyperdrive once and there was residual from stock. My weather widget wouldn't work correctly for one. So I did a factory reset and then reinstalled. Hyperdrive installed right and there was no residual from stock but play stopped working. So do you Odin back to stock every time you want to install a new ROM? Or how do you install to get rid of the previous ROM without losing connectivity?

[Q] Market Unlocker Issues

So I recently installed market unlocker and all was working fine. However when I went to set my market back to my default one I could no longer connect to the play store no matter what I try. I have tried wiping the cache and every thing I even re-installed Gapps and still nothing. Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Have you tried to Uninstall market unlocker to at least regain access to the play store?

Do you install Freedom in your device? Most of the time that problem is causes by Freedom apps.
Freedom did that to me
I've had this problem a few times when using freedom app. Solution for me was to uninstall freedom app, clear data from play store and reflash gapps and it went back to normal. If you want to continue using freedom app you just have to stop it Everytime your done using it

My freedom app and market unlocker don't play nice on kitkat using art on my tf300t don't know if your using a 4.4 ROM but I believe market unlocker still hasn't made support for it
I've never had any problems with Market Unlocker nor the Freedom app o.o If you've used the Freedom app what I would do is reinstall Market Unlocker, reinstall Freedom, start the service, stop the service, uninstall Freedom, restart, then try changing to default market, then uninstall Market Unlocker

Only way to this problem is factory data reset
Take a backup of your data using titanium backup
And wipe data
It will definitely fixes your problem
Because my friend also had this problem and this is the only solution

Google Play Services error?

I'm getting the error in several GAPS...however, they all still work. Mostly in Google Plus and Hangouts.
"Unknown issue with Google Play Services".
I've uninstalled Google Play Services using Titanium, but it comes right back.
Using 5.1.1.
Any other tips?
Thanks,

Yeah, using XtreStoLite Deo-Mod Edition 2.2 ...However, I got this error before when I was on another custom ROM. So, I don't think it's the framework.
Do you think I can just download the same APK and reinstall it using Titanium?
I've seen horror stories with doing that.

I had the same issues on the same ROM you're on. So I did a 100% clean install. Wiping cache, dalvik, system, and data. This fixed it for me

It was my last resort. I had cleared app data. Uninstalled and reinstalled apps being affected, cleared cache through twrp. Nothing worked except a full clean install

If you do that you'll get endless force closes of Google play services. Idk if your Google data would go with it (everything Google is pretty much stored on their servers so I really don't know what you would lose) but I wouldn't suggest doing this. Trying to navigate through your phone while constantly tapping OK to the message that something has force closed is extremely frustrating and difficult if not impossible.
I had the same issue 2 days ago. I'm stock rooted, btw. The problem appeared when I dirty flashed my stock rom on top of a stock rom. I didn't want to update manually cause I've already downloaded the newest firmware version. So I flashed the newest at hand or what's already in my PC. Then, I had a "google play services error" when logging in my gmail app, had a trouble signing in google now and endless loading on youtube. Did the same, cleared cache play services, guess, I got impatient and I uninstalled it, installed the 448 and 440 newest app but the same thing "google play services error" persisted. I also did the extreme, I did the full wipe and odin'd the new firmware, the problem was gone. Bump into a problem when I installed something and had to dirty flash again. Then, it happened again "google play services error" all over again.
TL;DR, lol, Long story short.
I solved it by just clearing google play services cache and uninstalled updates and let itself update again. I didn't have to flash or odin'd again..
I don't know if it will work for you, but it did for me.
