Device is no longer compatible on play store all of a sudden? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I did a factory reset and I setup the Note 10.1 again. But when i go to the google play store and try to install certain apps (which before were completely fine) it lists it as being incompatible ? I even flashed over a multi dpi play store (although i never even messed with the dpi value) and although it give me the option to install now, its states error 942?
I have tried doing a factory reset, hard rest, master reset etc and even flashed the firmware via odin but i keep getting either an error or incompatible...
anyone know how to deal with this? Im just wanting to get my device back to its complete original state

Multiple XDA posts on this subject .
Google have tightened up the rules .
Wipe note restore to original firmware .

Have you unbricked your phone recently? Have you tried clearing data in the market?

Give us more history - have you done anything major with your phone recently?
For example, cruft remaining in /sdcard after a return to stock using the "ultimate unbrick" approach can cause the market to go nuts unless you do a factory wipe in Settings.
did a factory reset that seemed to have fixed it, the lousy serendipity rom screwed up the phone royally

There are a handful of people running that rom without any issue...
unfortunately you failed to provide any real details of what was going on, so it was impossible to give you any help
I have had some issues with google authentication...it usually happens when one fails to wipe everything before installing a new rom or by restoring system data with tb.
Typically it can be solved by clearing cache for google framework services , rebooting and then logging into youtube.
So, by factory reset...you are still on Serendipity then right? A factory reset deletes user data, not the rom.
I am currently running Serendipity, no Market issues.

[Q] Need help with generic tablet

I have a Dopo TD-1010 (i was going to post a link to it but i am not allowed-new user) I rooted it and used lucky patcher to remove the licence verification from some games that i installed. Everything was working great and all games ran fine at first. my problem came when i accidently hit an option in lucky patcher that said " clear dalvik cache and reboot" ... ever since then there are a couple of games that will not work. i have tried repatching them, even reinstalling them, and now i have even tried a factory reset of my device and after rooting and installing everything again from scratch the same games still will not work. I notice that the factory reset does not actually reset everything to factory settings- some of the system apps that i have removed are still missing, so i am thinking that what-ever the 'dalvik cache clearing" did might have removed something that i can not get back either. ...
If anyone can tell me what that did or how to fix it that would be nice, but what im really looking for is either a custom rom or a factory default rom for this tablet and a way to flash it ( like you would on a samsung using odin) . can anyone help me?

[Resolved] Google Device manager and apps from web no longer work.

I have a rooted galaxy s3 on straight talk pre paid. Wanted to try slim kat so I flashed it with cwmt. Delvik, fact reset , cache and /system. Didn't like the random reboots so flashed back to stock backup. When I install something from google play it won't download to phone. From within phone it works. Device manager can't locate device. Tried cleaning data on play store app. Play services looks like it's stuck in app manager, and can't delete data. Any suggestions?
Update: Factory reset through Samsung's stock OS resolved issue. Device actually booted into CWM which scared me. Then it rebooted and started updating apps. I maintained root.

Error code -501 every attempt to install

After I rooted my device (tripped KNOX btw) I downloaded the standard root apps and ended up messing with some setting that I didn't fully comprehend (I know, I'm dumb). I then tried to download an app from the Google Play Store and error code -501 popped up and interrupted the installation. I tried again a dozen or more times and it continued. I cleared all the cache from every google app that was installed, removed my google account, looked through all my files and downloads and found nothing suspicious, factory reset through settings, and finally hard reset through recovery-mode while clearing the cache partatin (spck) and wiping all stored data, and thus rebooted and still no answer. Please someone help!

Backup whatever you want to save from your storage, internal and external to pc for safekeeping and flash the stock TAR with Odin to return to true stock.
If you are currently on a firmware NEWER than OA6, you will be unable to flash a stock tar that is OA6 or older so it might be best to find the exact matching firmware build you're currently running.

Super virus please help (odin)

I am stumped! Long story short i have a customers device( i work as an AUTH DEALER for MetroPCS) that had a nasty popup device. One of those imfamous FBI virus asking for money. Completely locked the device. Anyway the customer didnt know gmail and PW so he couldnt master reset. ( i know now he could). I decided to flash the STOCK ROM obtained through Samsung firmware website. I flashed via ODIN. It was a success, no failing at all. The device booted as new phone, apps got optimized and all. BUT the FBI virus was still on the device popping up locking you out, forcing you to remove battery. THIS IS AFTER flashing stock OS directly from the samsung website. So i then decide to master reset thinking the stock ROM would allow me to setup as normal. NOPE. After reset its still requiring the GMAIL and PW to setup the device. I dont understand because the OEM rom was flashed successfully. Yet the FRP lock is still enabled and the device locked out. How do i flash this rom so that it becomes STOCK with no FRP lock??? ANY tips welcome as ive posted in other forums and got no response....:silly::silly::silly:
You should try master reset (wipe partition and wipe cache), then flash a stock ROM via Odin. (Nevermind, I didn't fully read the part you already did that) But to me, this is just another proof that even flashing full ROM via Odin doesn't delete/replace everything. I couldn't get it solved too.

i actually resolved this issue. and yes flashing via ODIN doesnt reset it to default. I used sidesync, got a settings apk, used sidesync to force the device to open samsung apps(like the play store) i then got a file manager and added the apk to the phone storage via a computer.(this was all done while on the google login screen) i then opened the filemanager , installed the settings apk, it took me to phone settings(without having to get past the initial sign in screen) i then did a master reset via phone menu and BOOM, device is stock. Never will i put this much effort into a 50 dollar device again haha but thanks for the response
