a.s. i like to mess with system apps
So "all of the sudden" google play opens with a grey window stating server error with a button retry.
I tried the following:
1.Cleared cash, data, reboot.
Server error.
2. Let it run for a while as it auto updates.
Server error
3.Uninstalled, installed gp3.7.13.apk
Server error
4. Uninstalled, installed 3.5.19
Server error
5. Installed 3.7.13 back
Server error
In between somewhere the apps name was Market. Now its called Play Store again. Also some service called play store hygiene was running. Still server error. What else can i try?
It all worked well until it didnt. Ow except that for some apps ( that had the ability to install to sd card?) i had to unmount the sd card before installing, or else i wouldve got a message cannot install to usb storage or sd card. ICS problem?
I contacted google. Waiting for a reply...
@ikn0wagh0st ow yeah forgot to mention i am from germany. Haha maybe it is just a server error after all...

Any chance you are on the east coast? We have been having a lot of issues lately with due to the weather.
It still doesnt work! And its more than a day now!
I even tried this tool. http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix/
Didnt try vpn tough, but i mean comon... it worked the other days. What could be wrong?

I reflashed the rom now, and it still doesnt work! The app play store is still the same as before flashing though...
Also i tried the app talk and it also cant sign in!
But when i opened the internet browser i was automatically signed in with the default account.
Google did not reply to my emails (yet?).
Any suggestions?

And your Google account is Ok?
Maybe you have to remove the Google account from your phone and re-create it again.
And no app is preventing Play store from accessing the internet?
(No firewall or filter app)
Play store is working fine ... and I am from Germany too.
Have you checked to access Play store from WLAN and/or mobile internet?
Maybe there is a difference?!
I tried both 3G and wifi. I double checked firewall configs and even disabled it to see if its working. I get the same server error message.
I went to /data/system and deleted accounts.db. Then i rebooted the phone, so the gmail account was no longer there... I started google play store and it was asking for an account. I closed it, went to settings and set up the deleted account again. Then i started google play store and guess what: server error. I feel frustrated.
Also i wrote google an email once and got a promt reply. This time they didnt reply yet.
=========================
GT-i9100 ICS 4.0.3
New approach:
I uninstalled google play, then market and market updater from the phone completely and flashed it with the official sgs2 rom. Then opened the app now called Market, selected my service E-plus: server error. Now im pretty close in believing its some kind of server error after all. Hope itll sort itself out. I feel disconnected without google play.

SOLVED, by factory reset

I solved this issue by doing the following.
1. under > apps > All selecting Google Play/Store and selecting "clear data". I did the same thing for Google App Framework.
2. Reboot
3. Under accounts I removed my gmail account and added it back.
4. Reboot
5. Win
I've had this a few times caused by the time being set wrong on the device. My old wildfire refused to auto sync time and periodically went completely wrong and a few times my tablet has ended up on the wrong time after flashing.
Manually setting time/date works.

Can someone help me? I'm on a sensation xe running cianogen mod 9.1.0.
I can;t seem to get google play store to work! Tried everything and it's driving me insane, help? :/
I keep getting the server error issue. I have tried to delete the account and put it back, reinstall cianogen...but nothing seems to work?
PS.: Where is Google App Framework? I can't seem to find that anywhere!
What i can tell you is that i also reflashed the stock rom, but it didnt't solve the problem until i factory reset it, and flashed the rom again... now im not sure what factory reset would do if u run CM, but if you have a bulletproof bootloader like cwm, then its worth trying... I don't think factory reset changes anything in the boatloader. But i'm no expert, you should check that out.
You shouldnt worry about the framework, if you dont know where it is, you probably didnt uninstall it. Or did you accidently?
Ps. Its spelled cyanogenmod

Hi All, From few day my xperia Neo-V’s Google Play not working.
My phone is rooted. Stock rom and kernel. Boot loader never unlocked. No custom recovery installed.
Initially Google Play started to show an error with 495 number. I searched the web and taken the following actions:
1) Clean cache of Google play and Google services framework, then rebooted.
Result: Nothing resolved.
2) Removed Google account. Rebooted. Google account re-created.
Result: Nothing resolved.
3) Removed Google play updates and tried different versions.
Result: Nothing resolved. But now it shows following different messages according to different versions:
1) “Check your connection and try again” (V 5.3.6, But Connection is working in other apps)
2) “No Connection” (V-4.8, But Connection is working in other apps)
3) “Unfortunately Goggle play store has stopped”
(V:3.5, Crashes when try to start and sometimes shows "Server error")
4) Phone settings reset, Reboot, above steps repeated.
Result: Nothing resolved.
Here I want to clarify when I first faced the problem, I found that date was not correct, it was one month advance. I corrected the date 'but nothing resolved.
Now I don’t know what happened with my phone. Can anybody Help me? Please…

Download Es file manager or root explorer.
Go to system/etc and find hosts file.
Edit it.
Delete all and copy that 127.0.0.1 localhost.
Save. Thats all.

Flash GAPPS, much easier way to do.
You probably want to install a custom recovery.
Thanks for the reply. I did a huge mistake...
Thanks for the valuable reply sir. But i did not wait for you reply (a huge mistake) and i factory reset my phone. Because it was rooted and so many system apps were removed from it. After resetting, its Home key not working, Power off button show only 'Power off' (Not 'Flight Mode', Silent mode etc), Camera not working. It hangs-up if camera app is opened and then i have to reboot it to access again. 'Slide to Unlock' not working. There may be other problems which currently i don't know.
I have a backup of all system '.APK' which was removed (But not 'App Data' only APKs). Now i am trying to install these all files and Converting them to system apps, After that i will Reset it to Factory settings again, With a hope 'every thing will be Ok. Will you suggest me anything else...
Problem Solved... Thanks to all...

restart the phone, connect to WiFi and wait a few minutes, goto check for the permissions.
Go to settings-> Application -> press the three dots on the upper right corner -> show the system process.
search for ""Google""
make sure all the permissions are granted to Google Play service framework, Google play services, and Google Play store

Thank you, I managed by first restoring the backup and than installing the apps and rebooting.
Google login now works mostly.
The first issue I found is that Whatsapp is unable to use the system google account and requires a google login for Drive backup restore of messages.
It doesn't let me add account to playstore / gmail. i've tried all of these many times and enabled all the permissions to Gapps but nothing seems to work here

You need to install Google Drive and all Google stuff, launch all these Google Apps and make sure they are all working, then you can try using apps that relying on it like WhatsApp.
sometimes it just need some time to become completely normal since you have clear the cache for all Google apps previously.
Google Apps and services framework need some time to configure theirself.
You may need to wait and restart your phone for a few times

Good morning!!
i need some quick help if possible! You can even PM me so we can troubleshoot through discord.
TL;DR: the screen instantly goes black, restarts and returns to lockscreen the moment i unlock my device with the pattern (i suspect it's SYSTEMUI but can't be 100% sure). i can't get in now and got some work related data i need to recover from a widget that contains text along with chats from Whatsapp Plus.
stupid me did not make a nandroid backup in TWRP and now i'm screwed.
I use a Oneplus one with RR-O-v6.1.0-20180613-bacon-Official Ressurection Remix ROM based on android 8.1. Kernel is default/unchanged. Magisk is newest version (i think there were no updates for months now). I got 2 modules:
- busybox.
- Magisk Hide .Props config (a small terminal utility that can make google think i use a opo6 with android 9 [that's what i chose] so i get app updates) worked fine for half a year.
Then i took a look and saw an update for both. updating Busybox crashed magisk. Updating .props config seemed ok and just required rebooting like normal.
That's it essentially. since the reboot i can't get past the unlock screen anymore.
I tried the following:
i visited this link https://magiskroot.net/uninstall-magisk-module-twrp/ to first try to boot in core-only mode. then with disabled modules, then i uninstalled Magisk entirely using magisk uninstaller flashable zip from magisk manager (dot) com
the problem persists. i wiped cache and Dalvik/ART cache too but still the same.
besides the obvious clean re-flash that will wipe my data is there anything i can do to save it?
also i tried to attach a logcat but doing it just gives me one line an then nothing when doing it in ADB while the oneplus is in recovery mode.
If device is on (on lockscreen) i get 'waiting for device'. i searched and that could be because the ADB debugging checkmark is off... any way to turn it on using adb?
could wiping JUST Boot or System in TWRP do anyting?
since i got Titanium backup, can it restore data from a TWRP backup?
please help if possible.

Hello :good: ,
TL; DR: IT WORKED! many thanks to you, i googled a lot but your suggestion went over my head.
below info added for completion 's sake so it potentially could help future users:
meanwhile in addition to my post, i dirty flashed the original ROM (same version) without wiping anything.
i suspected that it would just bypass the PIN and lock, not the whole lockscreen.. i know both the pin and pattern, it just crashes after entering the correct pattern.
I did your google search which linked me to https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software-hacking/remove-lockscreen-recovery-t3530008
indeed. the pattern is successfully removed leaving me with just the 'swipe up to unlock' screen. i expected that it would crash after swiping up but it went to the homescreen thankfully!
some notes. As per guide i indeed deleted the below 3 files using the explorer in TWRP located in /data/system:
locksettings.db
locksettings.db-shm
locksettings.db-wal
however the files password.key and pattern.key were not present at all but in my case it didn't make any difference.
EDIT: added info and fixed spelling mistakes
Hello Guys,
I come in need of a help,
I'm writing from my computer now,
Yesterday my phone was working fine,
Today morning, I updated the apps on my phone; amongst the updates was android system webview.
After a reboot, my phone is unresponsive, it won't open any of the apps from that point.
I reboot again, since keyboard doesn't work, I used the OTG cable to use the physical keyboard to enter the password and get in. Tried entering setting to uninstall that crap app, settings is unresponsive.
No SIM services, no keyboard, no fingerprint, no settings etc.. basically nothing works and everything says "unresponsive and asks to either wait or close".
The only thing I have now is TWRP Recovery, and I'm inside it now.
I've wiped Cache + Dalvik / ART Cache : Result still same, nothing works.
I mailed [email protected] (which is provided in the app's "Developer" section) about this and got a reply that the mail is no longer being monitored.
Can someone please let me know how I can remove android system webview by using TWRP ? So that I can enter the phone back again as normal..
Device Details:
Lenovo K8 Note
Android 7.1.1 Nougat, (Never updated the OS)
Device has been rooted and has recovery options.
I think you can find WebView module in Magisk respiratory so I suggest you give that a try. Flash it and I think it will be fine as long as you have Magisk installed, of course.

Thanks, I couldn't quite understand that..
I've never read/seen a need for Magisk so far.. so may I know what is the procedure to be done here...?
I do read Magisk is a systemless Root, (I already have SuperSu, is that the same functionality? (though I can't open anything that is))
Find the Magisk zip on Google and flash it over TWRP.
Head over to the Magisk module site and you will be able to find an alternate WebView module you can flash. It will be in zip format so I guess you will need USB to transfer those files to your phone since you cannot use it to download modules.

Give it a try and come to tell if you have sorted it out.
If not, you will probably need to flash your ROM again hoping the application won't stay updated but to back to stock version.

Oh, one more thing,
Does this procedure mean, I'll lose TWRP and SuperSu?
Can I not just downgrade the android system webview manually itself?

You won't lose TWRP but I am not sure about SuperSu since it's very old and people don't use it from the time Magisk appeared. I don't think you will be able to have both TWRP and SuperSu.
It would be good for you to just uninstall the updates of WebView if you can use your phone at all. That would solve the problem.
TWRP basically is a menu what allows you to select and apply ADB and/or Fastboot commands.
SuperSU is a Superuser access management tool: it requires SU binary got installed on Android.
Both mentioned sofwares are completely different things, don't depend on each other.
BTW:
I always root Android without the need to make use of Magisk or SuperSU.
So, I went through these

So,
Is there a way to downgrade an app through recovery mode
or delete that app's data and start from scratch for that alone?
or is there a way to flash an old Android System Web View through TWRP?
Please help, I have spent the whole day trying to fix this.
I already have SuperSu and it seems if I need to goto Magisk (which is just for that other webview application, I have to do a lot of rolling back and applications going away, ) I don't want that..
Let's keep the Magisk idea as last resort and please let me know if there is any other way to delete the entire Android Webview related stuff and start from beginning.

Just because of one application?
I just want that android webview gone/replaced with a stable one, is that not possible without destroying everything?
Thanks everyone.
we have a solution,
In my case, uninstalling the Xposed framework fixed it for me..
So, while working on this issue I had made a flow map and a log of what is done and its results, may be someone else can benefit from it in the future..
Spoiler: Tries and results
Even starting the entering phone itself is a big issue, because the keyboard applications don't come up; fingerprint doesn't work on first boot as a security measure as well; connected physical keyboard to OTG to phone to enter password... then greeted with lots of errors of all the applications.
Asking people blowed over 'to buy a new phone'
Posted to Reddit, no replies
Posted to Google support, got crappy bot_ish answers; who even hires these people!
Posted to XDA, have some ideas worth trying
Unpacking the system web view.apk on computer gives crap details as it is almost completely encrypted.
Going rabbit hunting through the rabbit hole, checking each folders on "/"
found something similar /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Quick google search confirms that I’m on the right path to finding it...
May be data or XML is somewhere too?
Deleted(copied and deleted) /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
Result, Same
Then Reverted
PS: Original Copy at ext_sdcard
Replaced the existing one (92.0.4515.115 with 90.0.4430.210)
Result, no changes.
Then reverted with the crappy original

Tried adb from computer to phone, unable to connect to phone.
Was doing it wrong, while in TWRP, I need to initiate "ADB Sideload" and then connect from PC (with Firewall allowed)

results, fail
Created a temporary user account on phone whilst booting, (because of the observable lesser apps running if I switch over from main..)
added my gaccount on it,
launched playstore to update the android system web view..
the update is stuck at 60%~70 %each time and is unable to complete..
took the v90 application that is on pendrive, connected otg.. and started to install application manually from there..

still unable to install the v90 application
even installing other apps (sudoku example) have the same issue,
and then I see a popup that package manager has stopped working (aha! so that itself doesn't work, then can't install),
Went to see if I can change something on developer options, developer option wont come up even after 7+ taps.. hmm strange, may be only main account can have dev options.
While at it, swapped out the Gboard with older AOSP keyboard (retaining Fleksy though).
Rebooted and tried again.. no fix yet..
Atleast I don't have to switch to physical keyboard now for every reboot, since the inner older keyboard comes for first boot.
By TWRP, removed existing app and replaced with v87; doesn't seem to be any different, same errors...
Was about to install the Magisk but it seems to have lots and lots of catches to it, and things to-do before I can go to that...
Continuing investigation on how to downgrade and get back to older state
Through TWRP, deleted the app folder from /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
researched to see if there is something else to delete, couldn't find much... proceeding from what we know...
Removed ATSystem.apk (3C's helper) from /system/priv-app just in cast (copy placed at ext_sdcard)
result no change..
Started at around 31-Jul-21 13:00 and went on till 01-Aug-21 01-26 pausing to for the day to rest...
Restored App Folder back to /system/app/WebViewGoogle/WebViewGoogle.apk
WebViewGoogle.apk is v90 again.. (the original seems to be missing, meh, not like it's going to fix)
reboot, result, no changes.
Starting step to install magisk
Removing xposed now..
wiped dalvik cache
rebooting
Kind of stable!!!
Everything seems to work?!?!
Firewalled all app except playstore and mail,
mail seems to work, but can't open the mails (just the headers are received), clicking on the mail says "unable to inflate webview"
aha, I forgot that I have v87 still, if I update that again, will it work (if it doesn't we know how to revert now)
proceeds to update v87 to latest
reboots,
I guess issue resolved by uninstalling xposed, next step to enter phone and move data to safe zone and think about next step.
Are you using xprivacylua?

Oh... sorry to hear that.
I don't know the solution to that, because mine is rooted I was able to get into the custom recovery and fix things.. not sure what can be done here for your case, (I do know that the old samsung's default recovery is kinda unreadable for English speakers)
So, I think it's best for you to start a new thread in the forum, because if you make a new thread there's a higher chance of reply than this thread which is already marked solved.
(plus. please do attach any photos even crude it may be, still will help people see and suggest actions)
