[Q] Moto G 4.4.4 update breaks Play Services

I tried to install the GPE rom on my bootloader locked verizon moto g this caused the device to show invalid system image at startup, after many failed attempts I was able to restore by upgrading to android 4.4.4 through Motorola device manger.
Now when I open Google Play it says "no connection, retry"
When I launch hangouts it says "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again."
If I try to enable Google Now "Google now requires location services which are not available" (location is on high accuracy)
I think the problem could be due to the fact that I bought and used the moto g in the US but now I am in Russia.
I tried most of the usual fixes for Google play services, none work and tried factory restore (I can't do the ones that require root, no root for 4.4.4)
Does anyone know a possible solution including downgrading?

[Q] Google Play Services unknown error

Hi,
I have a Moto G (1st Gen - 2013). Its the stock software and I have not rooted the phone. Recently, I updated my Google Play Services apk through Aptoide. Since then, I have been getting an error saying "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" . I believe this is due to that update which is not compatible with my current software on the phone. ( I haven't got the lollipop update yet) . Now, there is a "rollback" option in Aptoide but that requires an re-install of the app. Since my phone isn't rooted, I am not able to downgrade the app.
What are my options now? How can I get my phone back to normal working condition? Any suggestions ?

Play Store & Services: always behind latest release

Hi fellows,
I have a Moto E LTE (surnia) with official Motorola ROM (6.0).
Actually, Google Play Store gets stuck at version 6.9.21.G while latest version is 7.0.17.H (according to apkmirror.com).
At the same time, Google Play Services gets stuck at 9.6.83 version while latest is 9.8.41 (according to apkmirror.com). While Google Play Services is mainlained with latest version (9.6.83).
Now, I have some questions:
1- Why am I in this situation?
2- Can I manually upgrade to the latest versions?
3- What happens if I switch to CM that already has got (OpenGapps in reality...) latest versions?
thank you
PS: I have already tried to clear data/cache, to remove my Google account and perform a factory data reset

Up

Am I in the wrong section?

UPDATE: version 9.8.41 of Google Play Services is wear-specific, so no: Google Play Services is already updated to the latest version available, but not the Play Store...

Downgrading S7 Google Play Services

Hello everyone,
I am trying to run successfully a gps mocking application on my s7 running android 7 .
I have read a guide about this and one of the steps is downgrading google play services. Meaning that I have to deactivate it, it will automatically reset to its original version and then I will install the version that I want (hoping that I find it).
I was wondering if there can be anythihng that could go wrong in this process and brick my phone. Or in case something goes wrong reinstalling the latest version of google play services should be enough? Thanks in advance!
