I encounter this occasionally.
In my case it is caused by 2 things.
1. Corrupted play store
2. Corrupted google login
First, try to clear google play store app data and cache. Restart phone and try again.
If it doesn't solve the problem, try removing your google account. Restart phone and add it back.

Sorry for Late response. In my experience I have to disable Xposed Systemless module in Magisk, then reboot to download alot of Playstore apps. Xposed breaks safteynet on my phone thus blocking installation of certain apps, after app installation re-enable Xposed and everything works as should.

First off, we dont support piracy on xda.
To solve your problem, download a play store in apk format from sites like androidpolice etc. and push it to /system/app with permissions of rw-r-r. You are done.

Ok. Install the app directly. Download another app called link2sd. Grant superuser access. Then open app window. Click on google play. Click on actions button. see options and click "make system app". It will make it system app automatically. Then reboot your phone. If it still FC, use fix permissions option from cwm recovery.

make sure that you also have GoogleServicesFramework.apk and GoogleLoginService.APK. AFAIK you need these two as well to get the play store app to work.
superuser says my binary is outdated. when i go to update it, it crashes saying it has stopped unexpectly. on link2sd all the options under actions is launch manage reinstall unistall. i tried manage and it just took me to application settings. i hope i didnt screw up my phone rooting it last night because i cant do anything on it. google play has got to where i can go in install an app but soon as i hit accept and download it crashes. i did a factory reset last night so poot and superuser are gone. i tried to redownload superuser just now and thats when it said my binary was outdated and when i try to update it, it crashes. is this fixable or is my phone screwed up lol. i really appreciate you helping me!!!

You can disable notifications from superuser app. Also you won't loose root if you factory reset your phone. Superuser app is set as system app when you root it. Also follow what justmpm said above.

You must install the Goggle play compatible with your Android version and your phone.
Please provide the phone model, Android version and if you have a custom recovery or not,
If you are still unable to install playstore apk, i will recommend downloading gapps for your phone model. Flash them from custom recovery using install zip. This should install your playstore. No clue if it can override the pre exisiting apps. Still learning on xda.

I don't think he has a curtom recovery set up. Flashing Gapps would overwrite existing ones, but most gapps packages are configured to abort the installation if some gapps already exist.
Try this app as an alternative
Have u tried downloading 1 mobile apk its like Google play store try it

He is already on root, and perhaps if there's nowhere the solution, ome simply can't live without playstore. I will advise full system wipe with data and installing a newer custom recovery and then new rom with new gapps.

Solution?
Any proper solution for this? Running on CM12.1.
Brother sorry we couldn't help you in this case because we don't know how to fix it . One thing you can do is that Google it and you will found some better response for sure
Dude, that is the easiest thing to fix, but if the OP doesn't tell us the phone model and version i wont even bother trying to fix it. OP is inactive anyways...

How to install APKs?

I need to install APKs, but I don't have a browser or a file explorer on my phone. It's rooted, but hasn't got a custom recovery.
I bought this phone off a private seller, and it's a clone galaxy note 4. It's rooted, but google play doesn't work. It comes up with a gapps error, and every app stays at the 'downloading' stage forever. I don't mind sideloading everything, or sideloading Google play somehow.
I just need a way to install apps. Other suggestions on how to do this are also appreciated.
Try adb.
adb install Name.apk

Hi,
Try to clear cache of Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google Services Framework. Remove your Google Account and log in again. If this step didn't work, you can try to download the .apk and install it via ADB.
Hope this helps.

Done all that, but managed to use adb to get chrome on at least. Will try again now, just cause.

[Q] Downloaded APK's do not install

Hello,
So, I've recently bumped into this situation I would download an app's apk online but it won't install. I'm on CM 12S YNG1TAS17L. Downloading the apk is perfectly fine, but when I install the app, it just goes to a "app not installed" screen where I can only press on the "done" button. The 2 specific apps are SnapColors, an xposed module, and Mango, a manga app. I have no idea why these apps won't install all of a sudden. I would greatly appreciate any help given. These apps have worked perfectly fine before until an update came, and now, all apks not from the Google Play Store do no install.

What partitions did you restore with the nandroid? Did you fully wipe first?

Cant install any app, even apks. Please help.

So i am on an s5 at&t rooted OF3 and decided I wanted to get Xposed. I followed the guide here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/xposed-lollipop-t3567152
I then noticed that Snapchat had logged me out and it was because of the Xposed framework. I then went to the Xposed website to uninstall the framework thru flashfire. I used the latest .zip "xposed-uninstaller-20180117-arm.zip". Then it rebooted and said "Android is upgrading, optimizing apps 1 of 200. " When it was done, an error came up that said "Procces system has stopped. " I took off the battery and rebooted and everything booted fine.
This Is Where The Problem Starts
I had uninstalled Snapchat during my noticing I had with Xposed and Snapchat. I tried to install it from the play store and I got 'error -504'. I researched it and did everything in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038 and got nothing. Now that I did those suggestions, I tried clearing the app cache, data and uninstalling app updates off of GPlay store, Google services framework, GPlay services and even the package installer. I then tried downloading and installing Snapchat from an apk and got the 'X App not installed'. I then tried a test with flashfire. I uninstalled flashfire and tried installing it from the apk. I then again, got the same error. My only guess is that it's an internal thing that may have gone wrong in the uninstalling process of the Xposed framework. How do I fix this issue?

Galaxy S5 DUOS Android 6.0.1 Google Services Framework Stopping

Hello Everyone!
All of a sudden today my trusty old Galaxy S5 DUOS phone started throwing the Google Services Framework has stopped error.
I have tried all guides I've been able to find on this and it says to go in under the App settings and clear all the data, but when I try this it crashes.
I can't get into the Play Store to check for updates either.
Is there a way to fix this? Update framework and store by a TWRP flashable zip or something like that?
Any help that you can offer would be much appreciated!
I could try to backup everything and then flash with Lineage OS or something similar in the way of a more modern OS but I can't say I'm crazy about the idea. It would take a VERY long time to do so the best thing would be if one could "just" fix the problem at hand without needing a full reinstall.
The phone is rooted with SuperSU and has TWRP recovery installed on it.

Did you use root permissions to remove or disable any system apps? If so, you may have disabled/uninstalled a system app that relies on Google Services to work, this would cause the "Services framework has stopped" error. Re-enabling or reinstalling the app or apps would fix the issue.
But....
First, try booting into TWRP then select the "Wipe" option, then select "advanced wipe", then select ONLY the cache partition and the dalvik cache, then swipe the slider to initiate the wipe. When you reboot the device, try seeing if you can use Playstore to update your Google apps, you may have to update more than one of them.
If that doesn't work, you can try downloading the most up to date Gapps.zip for your specific architecture and flash it in TWRP, wipe cache partition and dalvik partition(DO NOT FACTORY RESET IN TWRP) after flashing the Gapps.zip then reboot into system.
If that doesn't work, you may have to flash your stock firmware, this will remove root and TWRP, you'd have to root the device again and install TWRP again. If you flash the firmware, make sure to use the HOME CSC to preserve your user data during the flash.

Thank you very much for the suggestion, but I tried all of it and it did nothing to help the situation. HOWEVER, I started looking at DeGoogling the phone and putting in MicroG instead, and one of the steps in the process was putting in Magisk (instead of SuperSu) ...
When I got to removing the Xposed Framework ... and rebooted the phone, it optimized all the apps on the phone, and then.... booted, no crashing Google Play Framework anymore, I could run Play Store and update my apps - everything....
SO.... Xposed Framework caused the Google Play Framework to crash constantly (all of a sudden)??

Thank you very much for the in-depth and very helpful instructions on how to get the phone working again, however as you can see in the reply further down I managed to get it back to working properly again by... as I understand it -- removing SuperSU and the Xposed Framework.
After I did this and rebooted the phone it started optimizing all the apps of the phone and then ... everything worked as normal again. But I have printed out the instructions/suggestions you gave me for future reference if I happen upon something similar. So once again Thank You very much!

You should be able to have root and Xposed and use the device without issues. There is a way to make it all work together, you just need to figure out exactly why the issue was occurring.
Everything seems to be rock solid right now after uninstalling Xposed Framework (same thing happening on my mom's Samsung Tab S which also had Xposed Framework installed)... I used it mainly to remove the ads on Youtube, and since Youtube Vanced came into existence.... I don't really need Xposed anymore. So all is good
