I'll post this here since making sure this ROM is functioning properly is not a development issue.
Error processing purchase. [DF-BPA-09]. I keep getting this error message every time I try downloading a new app from Google Play. I can upgrade or download apps I have had previously just not new ones. I have a 4g Xoom running Team EOS Stingray JRO03L Nightly 125 and have Google Play 3.8.15. Anyone have an idea why I keep getting this and how I can fix it. Thanks

Delete Playstore from your settings/app folder. Wipe Delv,Cache ... Reflash your ROM, then your Gapps. (Google has to go through the account setup again) Google Play needs to reset you wallet/purchase authorization. If that does not fix the issue a CWM factory reset, will surely fix it.
on google ply it said to go to manage apps all app the go to google services framework and clear cash and data i am currently experiencing the same problem
and just found that page and this thread hope that helps
here is the page on google play click on "downloading installing and updating apps" then "error processing purchase on free apps"
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=known_issues.cs&ki_topic=1319135
same problem
anyone have any luck? I havent wiped and flashed yet.
Thank you. I suddenly started experiencing the same problem and I followed the steps in post #2 and it worked. I didn't have to reflash my rom or anything drastic like that.
I just wanted to thank you. I'm running an Evo 3d, but I just installed a version of MIUI and this error starting randomly happening. I had to go through step c but the errors seems to be gone. Thanks! :good:

Option A Worked perfect on my Asus Transformer TF700T Thanks.
Option D
For those of you that like me tried all other options but nothing worked, here's another option which worked for me:
Reboot to your custom recovery, in Advanced (usually) select to Fix permissions.
Of course i did this after doing options A-C which left me with a Play store that refused to connect at all which looked like a permissions issue.
Solution
Solution:
Delete cache from all google products, google play, video, books etc.
Delete account connected to the play store.
Reboot
Add your gmail account
log into google play it will prompt you to log in.
Done.
If you have mutlitple google accounts you should delete them all. Then after reboot add only the one you want to use in play store.
Once play store is connected to the gmail account of your choice then add the other google accounts.

Cool glad I could help.
OK, few peoples like myself were so frustrated when Google silently introduced "locked on certain country" account thing.
We lost access to what we used to, music, magazines, restricted apps, lower price of apps like here price of Tasker for US and other etc.
I think this tutorial will work for everyone, but I'm not sure, right now I have US play store for just few days. Using it without VPN or any other tool like location spoofer or market enabler. Also using it on PC browser without VPN.
WHAT YOU NEED:
1. two android phones (second phone you need for just for 10 minutes)
2. credit card
3. VPNoneclick APK
4. One Google account
SCENARIO:
You have one phone you are using as daily driver (my case Nexus 4) you have in that phone one Google account that is locked to your real country. Even if you try VPN + location spoofer + market enabler at same time you'r still locked to your country.
GOAL:
US Play Store
TO DO:
1. Delete your credit card from Google Wallet
2. Go to https://www.google.com/settings/account > next to Email click Edit > Set US
3. Go to play store, try to buy something setup credit card set US, for ZIP type any number (this is the best part: in g wallet you cant do that) , your name, skip rest
4. Do factory reset of your other phone (EVO 3D android 4.0.3 stock in my case), skip setup, don't add account!
5. Get to browser on EVO 3D and download VPNoneclick APK, install it (enable unknown sources in settings first), or install it via ADB from PC
6. Open VPNoneclick click connect to US, wait 30 sec
7. Open Play Store on EVO 3D and login with your locked account (it should be US Play Store now)
8. Clear data on Nexus 4 Play Store, without VPN or any other tool open it and login with same account like before and on EVO 3D
9. Say Thank You
Let me know if you have problems, I have few more things in account settings but I don't think they are relevant for this setup.
I was thinking of not sharing this because I'm afraid that Google will close this hole, and I will end up again without US play store.
But sharing is caring and I did use what other people have been sharing in past.
Thanks
I did a lot of different things and got it to WORK also...
the KEY step is when you MANAGE to get a US Play Store on ONE device (my process involved using a nexus 7 with vpn and a REAL US account + my intended account), and when you want to "transfer" to your original phone (and after to the PC play store also), you MUST not be connected to VPN and clear data on the Play Store app.
Then when you open it, it will be on the US Play store...

You need a rooted device. There are few applications that do not need root, but I do not know about them.
And I am not responsible for any damage caused to your device.
Not available for country
I was told there are so many ways but none of them are working now due to some restrictions by Google and I am able to download the applications that are not meant to my country (India) and that are not meant to my device.
In order to do that, we need a VPN application which makes the servers think that you are browsing from the allowed country. But that's not it. You should also have a Google account that's created in that country. So if you want to download an application that is only available for USA, you should have the Gmail account created in USA (in our case, USA servers).
There are so many VPN applications availabe on the store as well as from unknown sources to download.
I have tried VPN One Click, Hideman VPN, and DroidVPN personally and liked all of them. I was not really sure that these are well trusted, I will leave about them to you so you better check the review before you download them.
Basically, we are here trying to bypass your service providers IP address and make the online services (websites or play store) look like you are connected from a different country. So download your choice of VPN application and install it. In our example, let us think we are downloading an application that is meant for USA. Once the VPN is installed, set it to access through USA servers.
Now open a web browser and check yourself that you are directed to the USA based websites when search for something. Once that's done, create a dummy Gmail account. Once created, open Play Store, tap on settings > Accounts > Add Account. Now add the dummy account to your Android device. Make sure the Play Store shows both the accounts. It doesn't matter which was set to default, you can always change it. After you have added it, the apps will be downloaded/synced. You don't need to sync all your device data to this dummy account.
Now we have to delete all the data of the Play Store. Go to Settings of your device > Apps/Applications. Search for Play Store and tap on "Clear Cache" and "Clear Data" then Force Stop the app.
Now Re-Open the Play Store and you should be asked to accept the Terms of Services (make sure the VPN is still running and account of Play Store should be set to the dummy Gmail account). You should be placed in the USA based Play Store. Now you can search for the app and download it.
Not available for device
This will be helpful if you want to download an app that's not available for your device but you want to try it.
There are again so many apps that makes masks Play Store service. Out of which I have used is called one that's called Market Helper.
Download and install this app to your device. Open it and choose the type of device you want to make your device look like. In this case, we again are trying to download a Galaxy S3 supported app on non supported device. So select the type of your device as Phone and the phone as Samsung Galaxy S3. Set the Operator to USA and AT&T or anything else. Once all set, tap on Activate. Now go to Play Store and search for the application that's not available for your device.
Note : If you are trying to download an application that's not available in your country and also for your device, you need to setup both of the above instructions.
If you are having difficulty after trying everything, unlink your Credit Card details from your Google Account. You will have to log into Google Wallet to remove it.
Cannot connect google servers
Hi,
When i try to add new account it returns an error:
"Couldn't sign in"
"There was a problem communicating with Google servers.
Try again later"
Any idea? I used Hideman VPN.
Edit:
I was getting this error after typing password and next.
I don't know if it has any effect but turned off my phone, removed sim card
connected via VPN again, just entered google play with existing account and it asked a prompt from me for terms of usage. Accepted and searched for the application i tried to install which was not avalible for my country. (It should be actually but wasn't able to install after i rooted and installed PAC ROM 4.3.1)
Thanks again!

Hi,
Is this app really safe to use? It won´t steal data or hurt my phone, right? Thanks in advance.
You can do this job by using Rocket VPN which is free and safe to use.
Updating google play country
Ok so I contacted google today as I was trying to download an app that was restricted in the previous country I was in.
I had previously tried using vpns etc with no luck (LG G3)
Since this is my first post I am not permitted to post links yet, so add https:// to the start of each url
Below is their troubleshooting guide to fixing the issue, I'm assuming that putting in any country you like would allow you to access that countries store.
The content available in Google Play varies by country, and we use your home address in your Google payments service account to help determine which version of Google Play you see.
If you're having issues viewing your country's version of Google Play, please try the following troubleshooting steps (ideally using a browser on a desktop or laptop computer, but on a mobile device will work also):
1. Sign into payments.google.com and click the Settings icon on the left.
2.Click Edit next to the "Name and Address" and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).
3. Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at play.google.com/store/apps.
4. Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).
5. Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
6. Clear the cache and data of the Google Play Store, Google Play services, and Download Manager.
7. Wait 30 minutes.
8. Re-open Google Play. You should now see content that matches the country in your home address.
If these steps don't resolve your issue, you can also try purchasing a paid app and refunding it within the 2-hour return window in place of Step 4 above; however, returns like this can only be done in the Play Store app at this time.
If the country for your Google Play account still hasn't updated, please remove and re-add your Google account from your device.

Dear Nexus 5 Users,
I was trying to use Google Now Cards here in Sri Lanka, but I could not enable or even the option did not showed up.
Then, I tried to push an old update of Google Search and then updated via the Play Store, IT WORKED.
Please do the following if you have problems with Google Now Cards.
Disclaimer - I am not responsible for lags, bricks or any sort of bad happened to your device.
1. Unlock Bootloader and Root your device. Follow THIS link.
2. Install Titanium Backup. Here is the Playstore Link -> Titanium Backup
3. Download an older version of Google Search app. I prefer downloading 2.6.7 update. Here is the Link -> Google Search 2.6.7, store it into phone sdcard, later we will be using it.
Now do this patiently.
4. Install a 3rd party launcher and make as the default one. I prefer the Epic Launcher which goes close to the stock. Playstore Link -> Epic Launcher
5. Go to Titanium Backup App and search for Google Search app. The update should be 3.1.xx.. Take a Titanium backup of that app and Un-install it.
6. After uninstalling, install the Google Search 2.6.7 update which is on your sdcard. [Step 3]
7. Now go to Playstore and Search for Google Search and update it.
That's it. After updating your left swipe Google Now will be enabled.
Check the screenshot Ive attached which has the Google Now On/Off toggle, with default I did not have that option, after doing this process it appeared.
Cheers :good::good:
Alternate method, without rooting phone
1. Remove sim card and turn airplane mode;
2. Download free fake GPS Application
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lexa.fakegps
3. Choose the position where Google now is supported. Example New York, and touch Set Location, You must allow mock locations in developers section;
4. Settings .. Wifi .. Touch&Hold on SSID you are connected .. Advanced Settings .. Proxy Manual Mode .. Enter Proxy Server IP Address and Port (For proxy servers address, google it, or pm).
5. Reboot phone;
6. Touch Google Search Bar .. Settings .. Accounts & privacy .. Google Account .. Sign Out;
7. Disable Google Play Service application. Before you need uninstall update and disconnect Android Device Manager.
8. Touch Google Search Bar .. Settings .. Accounts & privacy .. Google Account .. Choose your gmail address; Agree with prompt, touch "I'am In". Activate Google Play Service application
Congratulations, now you have Google Now service activated. If you turn it off, then you need same procedures again.
9. You can remove Proxy servers address from Wifi settings, disable mock locations also and uninstall fake gps app if you want.
Many thanks to RaouF Ouacher from google groups forum. for provided such information. Sorry for my English.

Sadly it did not work either but I'm on an S3... Google now cards are no longer showing up no matter what I do. Maybe I'll try the GPS spoof trick.
You don't need root/ or to spoof GPS for this. (GPS spoofing doesn't affect location information anyway)
You need an internet connection for this Wifi/ or mobile internet.
Step 1: Disable Google Play Services (you'll have to uninstall updates first to see the disable button on some devices)
Step 2: goto Settings > Account > Google > Search and Logout and then Log back in. (It will ask you to turn on now cards here > select Yes)
Google now should be enabled now.
Step 3: enable Google Play Services
Tested on Nexus 5, Moto G, Galaxy S4
NOTE: If you have a message saying "there was a problem communicating with google servers" you'll have to clear app data and cache of your google search. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR HOME SCREEN TO GO BACK TO DEFAULT if you're using GEL (i.e. NEXUS5)
This has been now checked by multiple people and is 100% working

What do you mean by shipping cards? This is for people who don't have Google now at all because of their location.
Thanks to the OP, this method still works if anyone was wondering but it seems that you need to use the Google search app mentioned in the post or older as I used 2.7.. that I had backed up previously but it still didn't allow me to enable Google Now due to my location. Also it doesn't have to be a nexus 5, I've just enabled it on a nexus 7 so it might work on any device

You don't need root/ or to spoof GPS for this. (GPS spoofing doesn't affect location information anyway)
You need an internet connection for this Wifi/ or mobile internet.
Step 1: Disable Google Play Services (you'll have to uninstall updates first to see the disable button on some devices)
Step 2: goto Settings > Account > Google > Search and Logout and then Log back in. (It will ask you to turn on now cards here > select Yes)
Google now should be enabled now.
Step 3: enable Google Play Services
Tested on Nexus 5, Moto G, Galaxy S4
NOTE: If you have a message saying "there was a problem communicating with google servers" you'll have to clear app data and cache of your google search. THIS WILL CAUSE YOUR HOME SCREEN TO GO BACK TO DEFAULT if you're using GEL (i.e. NEXUS5)
This has been now checked by multiple people and is 100% working

Not working on my Nexus 5. Any ideas why? I would like to fix this and prove the 100% statement as correct, but at this moment it's not.

Did you disable Google play services?
Are you getting a network error message when trying to dig back in to search? I'll need more info about what exactly you did and what happened.

Yes, I did disable Google Play services. I got the network error message, so I deleted the Google Search app data and cache too.
What happens is that no matter how many times I try to log-out and log-in with my account (in the Google Search settings) afterwards, I am not asked to enable Google Now, so it's not available for me. The switch to enable Google Now in the Search settings does not exist.
I assume at least part of my problem is due to the Location services, they cannot be enabled where I live... Is there any workaround for this? Or if the problem is somewhere else, could someone point out - where exactly?
Thanks!

Yeah this is the only work around for the play services location not available. When play services is disabled Google search can't check your location so that's why this works.
However there was an update to Google search 2 says ago so I haven't tested this after that.

Thanks for your help anyway. I also uninstalled all updates to Google Search, but without success...
Hey, you know how I got it working? I went abroad, to a country that obviously supports the location logging, and the option to activate Google Now, appeared Luckily it didn't disappear when I returned home. I hope that Google don't "fix" this bug.
Thanks... managed to get the cards enabled following this..
The only difference is that I had to enable the cards prior to updating back to Search 3.x... otherwise it did not give me the option to enable Google Now after!
thanks buddy

Dear Nexus 5 Users,
I was trying to use Google Now Cards here in Sri Lanka, but I could not enable or even the option did not showed up.
Then, I tried to push an old update of Google Search and then updated via the Play Store, IT WORKED.
Please do the following if you have problems with Google Now Cards.
Disclaimer - I am not responsible for lags, bricks or any sort of bad happened to your device.
1. Unlock Bootloader and Root your device. Follow THIS link.
2. Install Titanium Backup. Here is the Playstore Link -> Titanium Backup
3. Download an older version of Google Search app. I prefer downloading 2.6.7 update. Here is the Link -> Google Search 2.6.7, store it into phone sdcard, later we will be using it.
Now do this patiently.
4. Install a 3rd party launcher and make as the default one. I prefer the Epic Launcher which goes close to the stock. Playstore Link -> Epic Launcher
5. Go to Titanium Backup App and search for Google Search app. The update should be 3.1.xx.. Take a Titanium backup of that app and Un-install it.
6. After uninstalling, install the Google Search 2.6.7 update which is on your sdcard. [Step 3]
7. Now go to Playstore and Search for Google Search and update it.
That's it. After updating your left swipe Google Now will be enabled.
Check the screenshot Ive attached which has the Google Now On/Off toggle, with default I did not have that option, after doing this process it appeared.
Cheers :good::good:

This method doesn't need root. Just check how to disable that for your phone model.
Yes, this method don't need root, I mean I don't want to try other method that need root.
And what you have mentioned is my question, it's about ways to disable "Google Play Service".
I can't do it because the option to disable it is not enable.

Google Play Services is many different things. It's location services, auto syncs etc.
I don't think you would want to completely disable it.

Hi guys, I successfully done with the GMS installation on my P40 Pro but I need the Google Apps Device Policy and I cant make it work. Is there anyone also facing this issue and made it work? The company where I worked was using this google application due to security reasons for the data we have.
I tried so far was added my corporate account right after the installation of 1st 6 apk files then downloaded the Google Apps Device Policy right after installation of the GSF or the 7th APK. When I open Google Apps Device Policy, it logged my corporate account there as it should because I added it together with my personal google account but it doesnt continue as it is requesting to sign in again and the error cant connect to google service still persist.
Hi, is it Google Apps Device Policy or Android Device Policy (the new one). In our Company, we used Android Device Policy, where it insist on creating a work profile. On this stage, the GMS stopped working correctly and the work gmail account disappeard.
Than I tried to install old Device GApps Policy apk only extracted from my P30 Pro (but on another device where I had already a work profile (I don't like to have multiple icons)) and it was working, it allows me to add work account without creating a work profile. Suddenly, before that I returned the P40 Pro so I don't know, if it's working.

Hi, thanks for the reply. What you recommend is, try extracting my previous working APK with work profile on my older device? I have samsung older device with working profile in Google Apps Device Policy, do you think it will also work on my case?
I don't think so. Only without work profile.
When there is installed GMS on P40 Pro and you want to create a work profile it wont work, the GMS wil start to spam you with error notifications. So, add work account via Google Device policy (install apk), and it might work. But before steps from guide when it installs patched GMS core.
I can't test it, because already I have returned the P40 Pro.

I made it worked thru dedication and luck. Thanks for the tips
Can you apply the steps how you made it work? Because i have this problem too.
I have G Suite account which is asking always to login after installing GMS on my P40.
Google on P40 Pro
I'm still getting the mistake that the device is without Play Protect certification and I can't even log in to Google play, and I also can't add a second Google Account
Hi, i managed to install GMS on my P40 and it works without errors or notifications for Gmail account. (Followed this video tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc )
The only step that i miss is that i cant login into my G Suite (work) account and cant find any tutorial how to make it work after installing the GMS.
The message that i get is:
1. Couldn't sign in
Your domain requires mobile device management. Please install the Google Apps Device Policy application to enforce security policies required by the [email protected] account.
[Donwload]
2. Clicking on [Download] button it redirects me to Google Play store to download Google Apps Device Policy.
3. Opening Google Apps Device Policy and clicking on Next
4. Here i get an error Couldn't sign in
A problem occured while communicating with Google servers.
Please try again later.
Does someone has a solution for this? Is there a way how i can login with my G Suite account?
G Suite account login succeed
GOOD NEWS!! By lots of trying i managed to make it work.
Here is what i did:
1. Reset the device.
2. After selecting region... you need to set up the Device protection > Set password (6 digits) (Is needed for your work account)
3. Download older version of Google Apps Device Policy (6.92) to you computer. (I downloaded it from https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...ease/device-policy-6-92-android-apk-download/ )
4. Follow this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYOU_YxrHhc
5. Place that "com.google.android.apps.enterprise.dmagent_6.92-692_minAPI14(nodpi).apk" into "00 Google Installation" folder
6. Now install the first 6 apk's (from video) while "G"-app is running in the background
7. And now install the 7th apk the "com.google.android.apps.enterprise.dmagent_6.92-692_minAPI14(nodpi).apk" you downloaded before. Also while "G"-app is running in the background.
8. After entering accounts open Google Apps Device Policy app. (Click ok & Next >)
9. Here you will get an error "Your device has still not been registred with Play services. Please try after some time." (Click Ok)
10. Open play store (This will disappear)
11. Close all apps and go further with installing "(7) Google Services Framework.apk"
12. Finish the installation (till the end by installing 9th apk which is Google Play services) from the video
13. Now here you'll get a notification that your G Suite (work) account cant login. (Tap on it)
14. Here click on a button [Download]. You'll be redirected to PLay Store.
15. Update Google Apps Device Policy app and open it.
16. Now here click on "Next >" and Allow and again Allow access > Activate > Enforce
Now you can enter Gmail, Drive etc... with your G Suite account
Hope this will help someone.
Device: Huawei P40
Software: EMUI 10.1
PS: For security reasons remove "G"-app from your device!

So I set both accounts personal and work during the process and install google play services with all other apps with no issues. Play store works, personal account works. But when I try to use work account, Device Policy app installs and asks to set work profile without no option to use it as regular (I have my work account on P20 set as regular account with Device Policy and its fine), when work profile gets set it installs all apps like play services etc as separate work and of course they don't work then, work profile cannot complete setting and all pop up notifications appears again.
I tried installing Device Policy older version right after I add work account but when I open account to set it work it asks to install new version anyways.
Hi,
I am experiencing exactly the same behaviour as @jovikus does, on my p40 pro.
I was using the Googlefier method from bender_007 and also raised this in his topic:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=83944723&postcount=744 having no answer so far.
Thanks for your bringing this up and thanks everyone for helping out!
Best,
Octav
Does anyone have any update on this topic?
Thank you!
Any updates from anyone?
Doesn't work for me, any update info?
