Google play missing - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My son has a S III with root and CM on it. He clicked on the accept on a system update yesterday and sent the phone in a bootloop. I done a system reset/factory data reset on it and it boots up now and has service. But there is no Google play icon and it won't let you add a Google account. I've done the reset and wipe 3 times and it never asks you to enter any Google account info when the phone first boots up. What am I missing here. I have a note 3 that's rooted and running biggins rom. I've rooted all my phones which total about a dozen or so and have never seen this happen. Anyone have any ideas how to get the play store back on it and Google account. Thanks in advance.

Anyone have any ideas.

I was trying to think of something, I read this topic a few times. Did the OTA go through? You could attempt to install the play store as a regular apk file

*SOLVED* "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"

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.

don't forget to hit thanks ☺???
I had these error a couple of months ago, it appeared without any apparent cause. I managed to fix it uninstalling all the Play Store updates (rolling back to the stock version) and wiping app cache & data. After this, rebooted and updated the Play Store again and the error never came back.
Hope it helps
Just to let you guys know that I returned the phone to GiffGaff and it was accepted for replacement (they had to, since it was still under the first 14 days). I already have the new phone and no problems so far.

[Q] [HELP] 403 Google play error, help!

Hello awesome people at xda forums!
I had my N5 for about 2 weeks now, for the first week i've used stock, but i had to try som new roms/kernels so i installed cataclysm rom with franco kernel. I had no problems everything worked great, and google play worked. On my old phone i had xposed framework, and a few modules. I've downloaded it on my N5 and got "keepchat, bootmanger, greenify and gravitybox. Everything still worked great, i used some of the features with gravitybox and enabled some feature where i had to reboot my phone. Something i about statusbar, not really sure though. I've hot rebooted, and my phone kept crashing "system ui crashed" and i tried normal reboot, still crashing. I've factory reset with twrp and used a stock 4.4.2 backup i had, and i was about to download busybox then i got some errors. I think i got a 920 error at first, I've searched the whole web and found a solution. (Or i thought i did) Then it gave me a 403 error, I've spent my whole day trying to find a solution, but could not find any. Heres what I've tried:
Reboot phone. *same issue*
Wipe cache and data from google play, then reboot. *same issue*
Sign out of google account, then wipe cache and data from google play and google services framework, then reboot and sign in. *same issue*
Make a new google account and use it to download apps. *same issue*
Wipe dalvik cache and cache from twrp. *same issue*
Install a update for google play *same issue*
Check for proxy, had none.
I think my APN is fine, not sure though.
I've mixed some of the options above, but still with the same stupid error "403"
My question is, is my N5 bricked? If not, is there a solution to this problem?
Best regards,
Kristoffer
If your phone turns on in any capacity, it's not bricked. That term is only supposed to be used when your phone is rendered completely useless and turned into a paperweight or wait for it.... a brick.
If I were in your shoes I would just flash the factory image from Google and start over again. That'll get you back on your feet.

Disregard my previous post. I just read an article that says apparently everyone is having play store issues today and getting the 403 error.

Samsung Galaxy S3

I asked this in 2 other locations and haven't gotten any answers yet as to what I done wrong. But here is the post, any help would be greatly appreciated.
My son has a S III with root and CM on it. He clicked on the accept on a system update yesterday and sent the phone in a bootloop. I done a system reset/factory data reset on it and it boots up now and has service. But there is no Google play icon and it won't let you add a Google account.

I have a note 3 that's rooted and running biggins rom. I've rooted all my phones which total about a dozen or so and have never seen this happen. Anyone have any ideas how to get the play store back on it and Google account. Thanks in advance.
Flash the stock rom with odin.

OK. Thanks. Greatly appreciated. I wasn't for sure if flashing a stock rom or the CM rom would work or not. Thanks.

LG G Stylo Boost rooted. issues after fixed from brick and update to MM.

Posted in the wrong forum earlier.
1. Rooted phone 2 months ago
2. Factory reset because it kept restarting.
3. After factory reset the phone wouldn't go past the lgsetup.
4. Used the wrong img file and bricked phone.
5. Fixed with the right img file. (Always check md5!)
6. After I got everything working I updated to MM.
7. Since MM update I get the following error "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." and Mobile ID is stuck on download.
Pretty sure I broke it by updating. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That mobileID thing is tiny carrier specific unnecessary app, you just have to disable. The google play store has stopped is either going to have to be factory reset whereas you'll be better off resetting from recovery, OR send it to LG , they'll fix it for free and send you a free postage label, takes like 10 days.

Are you factory resetting from recovery or from settings?

That's probably what messed you up.
Never factory reset from settings on a rooted phone.
I don't have the Boost version of the Stylo but there is no custom recovery (TWRP) for that model, is there?
Yeah. No custom yet. I was able to fix the lgsetup issue. Now it's just an issue with Google Play store not working now.
I was thinking about trying to do another reset but am worried I'll break it again. And this time there is no good way to unbrick MM.
