Flashed to stock kitkat, now no play store - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I just flashed to stock kit kat with the ODIN files, now I cant connect to the play store.
So far I have:
-tried rooting and using safe strap to install a custom rom, it loaded up fine but play store still didn't work
-Used the verizon repair tool
All google apps work and sync except hangouts.
Any help?

Are you rooted or unrooted?

Currently unrooted, but towelroot is an option.
Forgot to add, verified date and time and deleted hosts.

So the play store is installed? If your unrooted and there are major issues with the play store you can't do much about it. It's a system app unfortunately. I'd say if you were rooted you could remove the system app the reinstall it

Just rooted and did the uninstall and reinstall. No such luck

That's odd. Did you restart after you re installed it? I have the newest version of the play store version 5

Yep

Looks like a nice phone but the locked bootloader is deterring me from getting it

I also tried changing my build prop to say I have a d2spr instead of d2vzw, didn't work.

Got it to work, had to remove google account, remove sim and reboot. Then added google account and everything worked without the sim. Installed sim, rebooted and everything continued to work.
Fun, eh?

[Q] Problem with Galaxy SIII

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. :/

nexus unroots when i update

hello everyone, i have a nexus five running cyanogenmod 12.1 and 20150529-nightly-hammerhead android version 5.1.1 with TWrp v2.8.6.1
as of yesterday i had it finding the updates for nightlies everyday. and i was updating it when i would download them. and i found that everytime i would update id lose the root. i tested this the following day. rerooting with the nexus root toolkit, then updating and found i had no root. so i rerooted and havent updated again. is there a reason why it would unroot? thanks in advanced guys!!!
1) Delete the Nexus toolkit, don't ever use it again.
2) Flash the most recent nightly.
3) Go to settings ---> developer options and enable root access.
4) Optional: download SuperSU from the Play Store.
Why is nexus tool kit bad? So should I flash nightly first then enable root or enable then flash? Its giving me apps only, adb only and then allow for both. What do I choose?

For one thing, CM isn't meant to be rooted, root access is implemented via Privacy Guard, so whatever changes NRT made are erased every time you flash the ROM.
reroot...
Rerooting wasn't done with nexus tool kit. Initially yes, for the first time. I rerouted, or atleast thought I rerooted via twrp. I guess I was wrong. But either you helped me solve the issue and I really appreciate it.
I have a different one...the one that helped me figure I wasn't rooted. Google play store keeps crashing. Giving me that error "unfortunately, google play store has stopped" what could be causing this. I've rebooted, cleared cache, cleared data, force stopped and still. I've reinstalled the gapps..and still. Any ideas? Thank you such!!
Anyone????

Which Gapps package are you using? From what I gather, some Gapps packages don't play well with CM 12.1. Try this Gapps package, it's CM official.

No compatible Netflix app for my HTC 11 unlocked.

Strange that the Crakle app works.
I jsut installed the app from titanium backup I had on SD card, then it updated by itself....
its available from the Google Play, did you install it and try?
Go to Google Play > Settings > scroll to bottom and make sure Device Certification says Certified.
Unlocking the bootloader and/or rooting the device will change this, and you won't be able to download Netflix from the store.
If it's Uncertified, you can try to clear cache/data of Play Store and reboot.
Must not be compatible with our yet, because in just a few short hours it is no longer available. Also being uncertified is not the case, as I could have downloaded earlier today.

Google play has none that are compatible, I purchased mine from Amazon so it should be HTC USA unlocked model. But I can't verify that yet.
Yep I just checked again and Netflix isn't compatible with HTC U 11 and also the HTC 10,sounds like a Nougat issue.

You don't have to keep trying, it is not compatible with our device yet. If Google Play removed it, most likely won't work even if you got it from Amazon. Like I said must be a Nougat issue as NetFlix isn't compatible with the HTC 10 either.

Netflix changed it with version 5 release.
I never had the issue with any rooted and bootloader unlocked phone, then one week I tried to download it after a usual factory reset and ran into the issue.
Last I checked, Netflix still worked when I sideloaded it.

Unfortunately it does now. An unlocked bootloader is why you can't install Netflix from play store. Google updated somethings in play store and app developers can now block installs to devices with unlocked bootloader. Netflix is one of those apps that have utilized that option. I found this issue in my 10. However on my 10, with magisk installed and utilizing magisk hide I was able to get around it and install Netflix if I wanted

Play store Error, incompatible device

Hello there,
Had trouble getting the 6045Y rooted with TWRP since it was on 6.0.1 locked bootloader, stock recovery.
Ended up flashing Eluga lollipop rom and was then able to flash TWRP 3.0, root etc.
I've now got lineage14.1, but a lot of apps in the play store say that they're not compatible with my device.
Checked the build prop, it says TCL instead of alcatel, but I'm 100% certain it's an alcatel.
- Tried changing things in the build prop
- Tried clearing play store cache and data
- Installed latest google play services in case
Not sure how to get rid of that message. I could download the apks for every app but that could take a while.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Thanks for the help
There is an app in playstore which can spoof the playstore and make it think you are using a different type of phone that is compatible....

Nice, I'll have to see if it's still compatible considering it looks like an old app. I'll be able to try on monday when I get the phone back. If it does work I'll come back for the thumbs up.
Thanks a lot

Yeah it doesn't work unfortunately. App hasn't been updated in a while and gives me an error. I'll look for an alternative though.

Aye that is a shame - used the app a couple of years ago and it worked like a charm
Did you try the build.prop tweak method described in the article at the end ? {you have to do a bit more than edit the file}
