I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.
This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).
Full stock z5
I'm not rooted. I'm also using a Huawei mate 9 with 7.0 and having no problem with Facebook apps. Thanks.

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.
Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.
So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...manager-102-0-0-15-67-2-android-apk-download/
press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.
Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?
Thanks for your help.

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.
It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....
File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.
When I try to download
Here is the screen shot
It won't open......

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager
Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.
It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.
you have to do a clean install not update..

Mate 8 marshmallow 6.0

Something's wrong...

I'm using huawei nova and nothing can be installed or updated since last night. error 404.
and, one of my friend who lives in china has S8(bought in china too), same issue occurred.
So it says, all Made-in-China-devices, no matter inside or outside China, may permanently cannot use google play store anymore:crying:
That's all I know, and, waiting for more info.
As I know recently so many people encountered the same issue - error code 404 when downloading from play store.

Sorry, but I cannot 100 percent agree with you.
I have a Chinese version huawei mate 9 which has this issue, but another 2 Chinese version huawei devices (kiwi and cherry, which are honor 5x and 4x) don't have such issue. I guess it is something wrong with build.prop file. After emui 4.0 of huawei, build.prop is a bit strange which is too small, a lot of information are not stored there. Maybe it is the root cause of this issue after the recent upgrade of Google side?
Hi.
Got the same problem on Huawei Mediapad x2 with custom rom.
Clear play store data doesn't help.
Opengapps neither.
Manually upgrading play store and play services also didn't help. It seems like some kind of server sided block or so?
Edit: I'm not sure what I could change in the build.prop file. But is it possible to change the manufacturer and device model to check if Google blocks Huawei?

Play Store error code 404 on Huawei Mate 9 Plus / P10 Plus Chinese version EMUI 8.0
Same problem since Saturday February 3, 2018 morning on Huawei Mate 9 Plus and P10 Plus Chinese version with EMUI 8.0 / Android 8.0.
Tried clear Play Store data, Google Play Services, installed latest Play Store and Google Play Services (on Mate 9 Plus), factory reset on P10 Plus, nothing working, every time since then I tried to upgrade or download applications I get error code 404. Both phones have Chinese ROM. Everything else works fine.
I'm using s8+, bought in Hong Kong, but flashed to Chinese official ROM, also facing the same issue. Tried to remove update for google play store, google play service, but still no luck.
I heard that some s8+ users made it work after flash to HK rom, but I don't want to do that because samsung pay will stops working in China mainland after flash back to HK rom.
There is a file called services.cn.google.xml in /system/etc/permissions on Chinese version of devices with Play services built in. (at least on my friend's S7 edge, which has 404 error when using Play store).
On my Pixel and Nexus 9 I can't find this file (no problem when using Play store). So you may try deleting this file and reboot device to see if it makes a difference. (I don't know if this will work as my friend's phone is not rooted he can't delete the file. Always make a backup before modifying system files.)
-----
UPDATE: Confirmed working. Just delete the file and reboot your device.
It can also be done by deleting the following line from the file (If this doesn't work for you, delete the file).
Code:
<feature name="cn.google.services" />
There is a magisk module for those who have magisk installed (not by me) :https://github.com/fei-ke/unlock-cn-gms/releases

I've got Axon 7 A2017 and got the same issue.
Just tried @iKirby 's fix on a S7edge (flashed with Norma ROM) and confirm that is working.
Don't forget to clear cache / Data of Google play app after reboot.
Many Thanks

Cool. :good:
But we have to root our phones in order to modify this .xml file.
for emui8, this ****ing file is located at \system\emui\china\etc\permission folder, just remove e it.

If you don't want to or can't get root access, perhaps you will need to wait for Google or device manufacturers' response.
I guess the config file is for Google play services to detect whether the device is China mainland version. If it is, some features will be automatically disabled to prevent battery drain caused by keeping trying to connect to blocked Google servers.

I modified the xml and it didnt work. Then I delete the xml file, boom it works! Thanks! You're a hero!
So I got the B367 update for my US Honor 6x. If I click on the update normally it will say it's around 360mbs and if I want to download it. But if I click from the top right 3 dot button it says I can download the full package which is around 2 gbs. So my question is what is the difference.
The difference is that the 360MB update that you download OTA normally, acts on updating overwriting local files only (like Google security patch, bug fixes, ecc.) while the 2,47GB package contains everything for a clean system installation (like Huawei apps, services, ecc.)
Hi, I have Google Play Services (beta tester) at Play Store.
Recently and last days sometimes I received a message system from my Mate 30 Pro 5G that says:
Battery usage details:
Google Services Framework continuously searches for bluetooth devices in the background. Force stop to save power. (in Spanish).
And as you can see I cannot force the stop because the button is not enabled.
Should I leave Play Services Beta tester ??

And I have got the same Google Services Framewrok as you ...
I had a problem with the Google services framework on my Mate 30 Pro.
The Huawei system kept telling me that this service framework drains the battery quickly.
Wanting to see a bit what was happening, I fiddled where I shouldn't have and deleted the data from the Play Services app ... and hat the Mate 30 Pro that I had with Google services installed since December 2019 has gone to hell !!!
My fault for doing what I should NOT do.
Following your last tutorial, and after a factory reset of the phone, when you want to install in STEP-1 the 2 apk files of the Backups (previously uninstalled following your video tutorial, the Mate 30 tells me that the Backup app exists a newer version on my device, and remove it.
And of course, I can't find it, and the Backup Copy doesn't appear in the Settings menu now to continue with the rest of the tutorial.
What can happen to me ??
Thanks and sorry for this
PS: I don't know if the new EMUI 11 version that it has causes it to generate any conflict.
The issue is that with this method, if I delete the Backup app that comes with the Mate 30 Pro, and I try to install the 2 apks that you provide in step-1, the phone won't let me install them because it already tells me that I have one latest version.
And then when I go to Settings, Backup is gone ... because I have uninstalled it as you mark in the tutorial.
ADDED: The message that I get after successfully uninstalling Backup, and installing the first Backup apk is:
Install failed
Reason: You already have a newer version of this application.
I asked to Eloy Gomez at a Spanish forum becuase he teached to me last december, 2019 how to install them following his tutorial but at the moment I don't received any reply.

Hello, I updated my phone to the miui fold 13.1.21. It says that it has updates to the display while folded but do not see any changes. Anyone know what this update has? Thanks
I got the notification that the update was available, but I'm rooted with Magisk and when I tried to proceed with the instructions to preserve root by "uninstall magisk / restore images", I'm confronted with the "stock backup does not exist" so I'm not sure what to do next.
AndroPlus said:
@frcraig
Ignore "After restoring stock images", since other devices can't receive OTA before do that (updater detects root and block OTA) but Xiaomi allows OTA download even when rooted.

AndroPlus: Thank you very much! I googled "Magisk stock backup does not exist" for hours and none of the articles mentioned that you can just ignore "after restoring stock images" on Xiaomi devices. You are a genius. It worked like a charm! The offical Magisk OTA guide should include your information.

One of my issues with this device was that the font on the folded screen was so small that emails and text messages were almost too small for me to read. If I unfolded the phone the font was much larger and more readable. Now, after applying this update, the font on the folded screen is much larger and much more readable.
With this update you now have the option to "swipe up to continue" with app when folded.
If anyone knows a way to force and update please let me know. I've used a VPN to change my location to China, India, etc and still get that no update is available.
when I try to flash manually in the app after downloading the file I get this message:
"miui couldn't verify update package update via usb instead"
I just need to know how I can get the update or flash the file without losing root in magisk and my data. thanks

Updates are pushed to devices by IMEI number. I got my device the day it was released, so it will hit other devices shortly. There are no major improvements with this incremental update that I noticed other than the display (font size) on the folded screen and the new option to require a swipe when going from unfolded to folded. Are you placing the full Recovery ROM or the incremental update .zip into the update/incremental_OTA folder? Maybe try downloading from a different source. You can use the MIUI Downloader app available on the PlayStore to get the Recovery ROM or incremental OTA directly from the Xiaomi servers.

with this module it works perfectly now, just finished updating.
all you do is download the update file yourself and then you no longer get that error with this module.
just flash and follow the instructions you posted, install magisk after OTA and reboot. all good
So you can teach an old dog new tricks!
