I have Samsung Tab 8.9 (P7310, Android 4.0.4) and when I try to install or update apps with Play Store (v5.2.13), Play Store crashes with message "Unfortunately Play Store has stopped".
Have tried clearing cache and clearing data to no avail. I uninstalled Play Store updates then it worked until it auto updated to v5.2.13. I also restored the tablet to factory default and again it worked until Play Store autoupdated to v5.2.13.
Found apk for Play Store v5.1.11 and installed that, then again Play Store worked properly until it updated to v5.2.13.
How is it possible to stop auto update of Play Store because its a hassle to always uninstall updates or install different version before trying to install or update apps.
Thanks!
BTW, I don't know about the inner workings of the tablet, file systems, etc. Nor, do I particularly want to become skilled in this regard...just want Play Store it to work again without the hassle so please be gentle with me.

So I have a lousy loaner LG Escape 2 to use for a 3-4 days while waiting on parts to repair my Nexus 6P. The LG Escape 2 has just been factory reset. When trying to use Google Play Store the Play Store crashes after a few seconds. If (in the GPS App) I go to Settings, and tap on Build Version (5.3.6) it briefly tells me that there is an update available, but it crashes before it can download, much less install, the updated. This phone is running Android 5.1.1. As near as I can tell, there is no stock factory ROM image that I can download and install (e.g. by ADB method). All I can do is a factory reset, which I have done. I've also tried going into Settings \ Apps and clearing data and cache on Google Play Services and the Google Play Store app. Finally, my Download Manager *is* running (some web pages suggest that the Google Play Store crash is caused by Download Manager not running. Oh... and I've rebooted this thing to heck and back.
I really don't want to buy a phone just for a few days, but I can't do my job with this LG Escrap 2.
Any suggestions on how I can update Google Play Store app without sideloading an APK from a third party site? I just don't trust sites that offer APKs from others. If Google itself would let me download the APK (with a checksum), I'd sideload it.

Thanks for understanding

My pet project for reading week was to root my phone for the first time, and I've now been stumbling over errors for around 5 days straight. This is the first time I've hit a wall that I don't think I can just mash random buttons in hoping of getting the order right. Please walk me through this fix like I'm 7 yrs old so I know how to fix things in the future But I need to fix fast as my phone is essential to my work flow, and being able to use the Play Store would be nice.
DEVICE: My phone is a Nexus 5x now running PureNexus.
HISTORY: So to start I unlocked my bootloader, flashed TWRP and have a back up of my Stock ROM as well as a back up of when I finally got PureNexus working if all things go sour. However I'd really love to not reset. When I finally got it working (after like 3 days), I was getting the Error: 497 from the Google Play Store. After fumbling around xda and my settings, I cleared the Data and Cache of Google Play Store and Google Play services apps. Nada. So I show the system apps and cleared the data of the following apps: Google Play services, Google Play Store, Media Storage, Google Services Framework, Download Manager. I then force stopped and disabled Google Play Store. Then I reboot my phone and Uninstalled all the updates on Google Play Store.
(In hindsight, this was all probably WAY overkill ^^^)
Edit: I then successfully re-updated to the newest version via apk. I also tried flashing a copy of Dynamic GApps in hopes that it would fix it.
THE ERROR: Now when I open Google Play Store I get "Error while retrieving information from server. [RH-01]" and it kicks me to the sidepanel, which displays my email but not my Google account. It is now Version: 7.5.08.M-all [0] [PR] 146162341
Any ideas? As far as I can tell, the Error 497 should be fixed because I've totally obliterated all data that could be associated with the app. However, I have no idea how to reinstall Google Play Store because it's the app I use to install things. Thanks for helping! And if I need to re-tag the title of this thread, PLEASE let me know so I can do that.
Hi !
Remove your google account from settings/accounts , reboot your device , add it back , this may be related to a buggy gapps pack you have used , try open gapps micro
Good luck !
Whenever i open play store app on my s8 plus it just crash and message pop up saying that play store has stopped working. I have tried crearing cache, data and reboot. Nothing worked. Any solutions. My s8 plus is running latest android update.
Ive got a similar issue on a Galaxy S8, play store crashes every time I try turning it on unless I clear its cache, then its working as long as its stored in memory. Does anyone know any fix?

I cannot give you a direct answer to your question.
However consider this.?
On my previous devices, think it was Note 3 or Note 4
i had similar issues with Play store.
Trying to install apps but failing.
or Play store "crashing /stop working etc
Eventually i found that the app store crashes
was actually related to Play Services app which is " "linked " Play Store app.
Somehow i had wrong version of Play Services
installed or it somehow got corrupted.
So its just not the Play Store app but other
apps "linked" to it. eg Play Services.
End result
I decided just to do a factory reset
as i was to confused/annoyed
with whole issue, and did not know how to solve it.

Hello XDA!
I'm in China, lost my phone on the weekend and have just replaced it with an Huawei Nova 2s.
I cant stand it to be honest, but i'm committed to trying to make it work, the only way i can see this happening would be to gain access to Google Play Store and services, but as for as much as i have searched online i can not find any advice specific to my model. I have tried many methods and have made it as far as to download the three files (playstore, frameworks and services) but my phone will not pass the initial "checking info" page when i comes to signing in to my google account. (I didn't realize the phone was such a recent release, and has only been released in China so far).
Is it possible to remove the chinese software/firmware all together and install a european version, from a slightly older Nova model?
Would rooting help me in this situation?
Any advice is appreciated,
DylanJ
Hi,
I have exactly the same problem. I have bought it on china and only realized that the chineese firmware is the only one. The in build Hiapp is total crap, it does not allow you to register without chineese mobile number, and does not allow change region. Did you manage to run Play market anyhow? I have installed but it does not run and does not say anything. Rooting might prevent future update.... So I am also interested to make it free world fashion functioning.

How can replacing chinese firmware with european for huawei nova 2 s
Have you guys had any luck?
I got the Huawei Nova 2s in China Last December, not realising it would be China Exclusive at the time. As soon as i left China, I searched it up immedietly but couldnt find anything on this model so i just followed other articles and threads and stuff. I ended up installing the following:
Google play store, Google play services, Google play services for instant apps, Google Accounts manager, Google Services Franeworks (and a GMS with a GMS installer before all those idk if that made any difference other than adding a Google tab in settings but that had nothing important).
After doing so i could FINALLY open google play store..
BUT
it was stuck on a checking info loop T^T
then i decided to go on google and just search to the latest versions of the things i downloaded. apparrently all the websites i used provided doenloads that werent the latest version so i deleted all of them and installed the updated apks.
after doing so i got something i thought i would nev get....
A notification from google play services telling me to update it in the play store. So i clicked on it and waited on play store...
And then...
It happened...
IT WORKED
I COULDNT BELEIVE IT
i downloaded all the apps that u would need ( youtube i downloaded from an apk ;P but i updated it on the play store and i logged in on youtube which logged me in on play store)
*BUT*
After a week or so it stopped working again.
I went on youtube an it wouldnt load.
I went on the play store and it wouldnt load
I went on google chrome an it wouldnt load
I was so sad and i did the stupid thing of deleting everything and reinstalling it
now every 2-4 seconds i get a notification from play services
and you might be thinking "But i thought u said that was good!"
It was when it worked.
I clicked on it the first time after reinstalling and google play store wouldnt load so I just gave up.
but like i said i recieve notifications every 2-4 seconds. It was really annoying and eventually i just blocked it from sending notifications.
I think the problem with why it didn't work again was because if you go to:
Settings then "User & Accounts"
I have a tab that says "Google"
and when i click on it it has the accounts i logged in on.
The reason why I think this is a problem is because it is already logged in and the app wants me to log in.
I have tried to remove the accounts but it didn't work for some reason.
(BTW i installed all the different things after reading MANY posts and articles and stuff, Google accounts manager being the last one i installed i think.)
Also keep in mind that this was all in the period of January and February.
Eventually i just gave up.

Hello, I just had the same problem as mentioned earlier, and I was able to solve it by first intalling GMS with the installer, and then downloading the latest Google Play services from apkmirror.

This works very well! Thank you!
Hey there,
really seems to be a problem of non-Chinese people to be tricked into the Nova 2s XD
I have the same problem, coming from Austria. Is there any possibility to use an international ROM of e.g. the Nova 2 on it? I am really going nuts with all the Chinese system messages. Google Play works but I am still having some issues and the Huawei Apps are mostly not usable without any Chinese language knowledge.
