[Q] Apps Stuck "Downloading"

Two days ago I decided to switch from cm12 nightlies to cm12s.
After performing a clean flash I was very pleased to see that I even had the option to restore the apps I had installed before. However, when trying to install those apps I encountered a problem. Because the apps would not download. They would say "Downloading"but it woult get stuck forever.
I had never experienced such problem before but so I thought it was the cm12s flash. So, I flashed back to the latest cm12 nightly I still had on my OPO with the hope that the problem would have vanished. Unfortunately it didn't.
MY PROBLEM:
When I try to install apps from the play store they get stuck in an endless loop of "downloading".
What I tried so far:
flashing back to a normal cm12 nightly
flashing cm11s and after that upgrading to cm12s (in cm11s the problem also persists, same for SOKP-rom to see if it would also persist in a different rom)
rebooting with and without superSU after flashing OS.
entirely wiping my phone (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and flashing cm12/s
after the step above^, deleting the data and/or cache from "Google Play Services", "Google play Store", "Google Play Framework" (and if possible deleting updates so it goes back to factory app)
changing location settings
deleting google account and re adding it.
clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache multiple times
using the 1-Click installer from their forum
Tried to find the android_secure folder but could not find it. (even with hidden files disabled in windows)
Perhaps even more but I can't quite remember much more...
I experienced after flashing a new os multiple times that the problem is not really the play store and/or the apps in it. But I believe the problem is more with the "Google Play Services" because most of the apps I can update perfectly fine but the "Google Play Services" continuously refuse to update and get stuck at "downloading". Unfortunately that app is needed to be able to use e.g "Gmail".
Hopefully there are more people on this forum who have experienced this problem before and know how to fix it.

Got the same crap... It's been 2 days now with the Store stuck on downloading.
I have all the latest updates, Store, Services etc.
Also tried to disable the security section like Enterprise.
Nothing works.... This is driving me mad!!!
Anyone got a fix?

Somehow it fixed itself......
What cought my eye was that if it is not working, try downloading the app via 3g or at your friends house... For some reason it would sometimes not download via wifi but it would via 3g.
I hope this works for you aswel

I didn't get it working again, so I removed all data and reinstalled the rooted firmware for my device and just did a backup with the mybackup pro.
Somehow there was something with the system or the data, but it works now.

HiApp can't install/update

Hey, so I noticed this problem a few weeks ago and tried to do a factory reset to fix it, using the same huawei account (also tried with no account) it says 'Installation Failed' for every app I try to download or update.
It occurs 2-3 seconds after I press to download/update an app, I'm using MHA0AL00C00B213 build.

No update available through HiCare or system update check, I tried the firmware finder method but it's only finding B106.
The real problem here is that because I have a Chinese model, I can't install google play store (and it's associated functions).

hmmm weird, I do have chinese version as well, look for GMS app in HiApp and install it, that will enable Google core aps and google play so you can download the apps.

Yeah I could do that, but I would like to understand whats going wrong in present case, I have had flashed CM11 many times since past 4 yrs but never faced such an issue.
I even installed TWRP and SuperSU latest version and also Old versions, I tried installing old versions of apps, but phone keeps crashing! Wonder whats wrong?!
Is this a firmware issue?(Tried flashing firmwares too)
or Partitions gone bad?
I tried searching but couldnt find any resource on how to recreate partitions.
Can anyone help please?

Wait,what if you flash cm11? I mean you just wanna stay on KitKat,so why don't cm11?

Clean flash this cm11 nightly+gapps you like.
Make sure you use latest twrp.

Same issue here. Happens not to all apps though. Just particular ones after updating certain apps. Not sure what happened. Only solution is to avoid installing those kind of apps.

Play Store after rooting

Hey,
I've installed a custom recovery, re-installed an official OTA update and rooted my phone.
Now the play store won't download apps. The only wayto download apps with play store is to press install, then reboot and the app will install.
Moreover, the play store shows nothing in the updates whereas I have apps that should be updated.
I tried to uninstall the play store and re-install with a recent apk, it still does the same thing.
Anyone has a fix here ?
EDIT : Now the play store won't start, it keeps crashing everytime, even after reinstalling it with an apk

So I would like to install a working Play Store version but I don't think that factory reset would do anything ..

it just that the Play Services need to updated to align with latest FW and SW update from OEMs

Problem is solved after Play Store upgraded to new version
