Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.

Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
Hello,
I'm the owner of a Samsung GT-I8250 phone. This phone has been specially made for the chinese market. I found the phone on the streets I managed to get it on english language so I could use it.
Things like google play are not installed and i'm not able to use it (I can install it but it's not working). I am able to install apps using wondershare mobilego, however many apps are not working or behaving strange. My guess is that there are some chinese blockers or something on this phone.
Is it possible to re-install a fresh android installation on this phone? Guess I need to root the phone for this, I already found to do this with a program called ZhuoDashi, but I'm not sure if there's a android version available for this phone that I can use.
Anyone have some advice about this?

Hi guys, i bought a galaxy tab 2 7" (p3110) and i had it running the stock fw. Everything was fine and i decided to flash it with clockwork mod and cm 10.1.3 (meaning i have 4.2.2 android version). Everything seems to work fine but the weird thing is that i cant run anymore applications which i install from apk files. I tried with so many games that i had installed and were working fine at stock fw. Does anyone of you know why they not running anymore? Is it the version of the android, something with google's license maybe (when i install apk files there is a message which informs me if i want google to check apps that i install outside of play) ?

Hi , recently I have obtained a few tablets made by HP but imported from China , I have gone through the process of rooting them but I cant seem to be able to connect to google play store . I have installed google play services and tried installing other google related framework and applications but it says no connection or server error.
I have googled and troubleshooted but I cant seem to get it to connect to google servers , no matter what I do the wifi icon stays grey.
Any help or enlightenment on this issue will be greatly appreciated.Thanks in Advance.
There is a app called market unlocker, maybe that will help
Sent from my GT-19505
Thanks for your help , im managed to figure it out but heres the procedure in case people in the future want to know :
1) Root device (I used kingo root for compatibility sake)
2) Download google playstore,loginservice,serviceframework apk(should suffice)
3) Install root explorer
4) Move apk file to system/apps
