Google Play "Downloading" indefinitely - OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers

Hello everyone. This is my first post but browsing this site has been very helpful for me many times in the past.
Last night I was attempting to root my phone for the first time. It's a OnePlus 6, and I accidentally wiped the whole thing in TWRP. At that point, I downloaded the ZIP from Oneplus/Support/softwareupgrade (Sorry I am unable to post outside links here yet) and sideload it back to the phone in TWRP. This worked to reinstall the OS, and the phone is functional for the most part. But I am unable to download any apps from Google Play. "Downloading" is what it displays and I've left it for a long while and it made no progress.
I have attempted to cancel the downloads and restart them, clear data from Google Play and Google Play services, reboot the device, and clearing the cache from recovery. None of these had any effect and I still cannot download apps. I have also tried with both WiFi and mobile data.
I'm not sure if some of you may know what exactly caused this or anything that can be done to resolve it. I'm open to anything. I'm inexperienced with Android modifications and just want my phone to be rooted and fully functional, and I'm not sure the best route to get there.

Play Store Stuck on Downloading

When I first installed apps to my infinity, the play store was fine. After i performed three or four factory resets, now market stucks at downloading apps at some point. If one app gets stuck at `Downloading` , that`s it: you can`t install it from the store anymore. It always gets stuck
Sometimes it follows this pattern
one app gets stuck --> cancel download manuall
the next one installs fine
the next gets stuck --> cancel download manually
the next installs fine
so on and so forth
Do you experience this? do you have any suggestions?
I tried rooting and replacing the play-store apk
trying to download with 3g connection. with wifi or ethernet but no luck
I have tried one more hard reset but again ....

Are you getting an error message?
Sometimes what helps is --in settings-accts/sync-- removing your Google account, then in apps/all-- force close the play store, clear cache and data, then go back to open play store--it will make you sign-in again. Then you should be able to download your apps successfully. Do you have it set to auto-update? That could cause a bottleneck if you have a lot updating at the same time.

[Q] Bricked LS980. What Next?

Hey all,
I've been running Pac-ROM 4.4.4 for quite a while with hardly any issues, but I recently noticed some touch errors such as the home button and task button activate simultaneously when I only press one button. It sometimes takes a few taps before only the home button is registered. Also on the right side of the screen I can't pull down the notifications bar; that only works in the middle-left of the screen. Because of this, I decided to upgrade my ROM to the newest beta version of Pac-ROM lollipop.
Now my issue: the new ROM had issues with google store and services. Instantly upon booting up, youtube kept spamming my screen saying it couldn't run. I also had notifications for google play store, so I uninstalled both youtube and the play store (after clearing cache for a simpler fix). That got rid of the pop-ups, but I still couldn't access my google account. I browsed some threads and they suggested to remove my google account and clear cache for google services. This didn't fix the problem so I decided to flash back to the stable 4.4.4 and reinstall the apps I removed.
Here is where I foolishly realized I never updated my gapps to 5.x.x. Being too late, I thought I'd just flash the gapps and lollipop rom after getting things back to normal in 4.4.4. Unfortunately, I was never able to boot after flashing 4.4.4.
Now I am stuck in a boot loop, do not have debugging enabled thanks to the update (so I can't use adb), my recovery won't boot using power + vol down, and my computer doesn't even recognize my phone when using LG mobile support tool.
Other things that may help:
LG G2 ls980zve
TWRP 2.8.x.x
cannot access adb or fastboot
cannot access recovery
cannot turn on phone
updated lg drivers as of today, but computer doesn't recognize my device in device manager
followed these threads but couldn't resolve the issue:

Ask if I forgot to mention anything crucial.

Here's a guide that can help you.
i am sure that there's guides here on xda too.
That guide was essentially the same as the two links I referred to except one thing... It reminded me to reboot the computer after installing drivers! HAHA. Now it worked smoothly.
Such a simple fix, thanks!

Cant flash Cyanogen, recovery faulty & weird crashes in stock on refurbished Nexus 5

Cant flash Cyanogen, recovery faulty & weird crashes in stock on refurbished Nexus 5
Hey guys,
so I recently got a "refurbished" replacement for my Nexus 5 and I decided since im starting out fresh (can't access the data on the old one), I'll try out Cyanogen mod.
I can assure you that I followed all the instructions exactly. At some point I checked every download for his checksums and all were ok.
Each time I started the process by flashing a factory image (flash-all.bat), to have a clean start.
I also tried to wipe cache/dalvik cache/data afterwards, but not always. This didn't change the behavior.
These things happened to me while trying to accomplish the task, and working around the issues as they arised:
Flashing TWRP: High (3 of 4) chance that TWRP wouldn't even start up, the phone would hang and just flash the TWRP background picture on screen.
When I did get through to TWRP, applying the Cyanogenmod .zip got stuck at "patching system image unconditionally". Let it go on for hours.
I figured that TWRP was broken and tried Clockworkmod instead. CWM at least always started after flashing it. But same as TWRP, it failed in installing the Cyanogenmod .zip. I tried putting it onto the phone by going into the stock android and then through adb push command, but also through sideloading directly into CWM.
What I noticed when going into the stock ROM was, that a lot of Google processes were failing during the initial setup (where it wants to know ur WiFi, date, Google acc, etc), like Maps, Settings, Play Services, and some others. Sometimes they were failing so hard it was impossible to type in the WiFi passphrase because the notifications of different "xxx has stopped working" were coming to fast, sometimes not a single one was failing. I could not find any pattern to this. When they were failing so hard I couldn't get through the initial setup I would just flash the stock again, until I got only some of them failing, or none at all.
Back to CWM and installing the Cyanogenmod .zip:
It failed with different errors. I got status 0, status 1, I think I once got status 6 or 7, but half of the time it hanged exactly where TWRP was hanging. The errors were random. After getting status X, I would sideload it right again, to get other status Y, sideload again, to get the hang. Could not recognize a pattern.
During this I switched USB ports, and cables, and even tried using my laptop instead of the desktop. One of the cables was faulty, it didn't even allow a connection, but any other setup showed the same behaviour.
Is there anything else I can/should try? Is it my fault, or is the phone bad?
Assuming the phone is bad, I suppose I still could get a stock running without the crashes, so it would _feel_ like the phone is alright (which is what Google probably did before sending it out again as "refurbished"), but I think there would be errors in the future, also I don't want a phone with such an uncertainty. Would they swap it? Also, it is a LG-D820, which means it might have issues with european LTE, haven't gotten to trying that out since I don't use LTE right now, nor will I in the near future.
Best regards,
napster

Hi.
According to what you say, it seems an hardware problem of you phone. Don't know if it may help but you can try installing an older factory image (for example kitkat) and seeing if the "force closing" problems are still there. If your phone is ok it should be able to run a factory image at least.
Download the nexus root toolkit, create a nandroid backup, then when either in CWM or TWRP wipe everything off the phone then try to flash a ASOP rom like Cataclysm if nothing else works then I don't know how to help sorry-.-
So I tried to get the stock ROM up and running again, and it seems even that is not possible. Several processes keep crashing during various tasks, even when idling. After having a short chat with Google Support about the issues I got an RMA offered, so things are cool. I locked the phone again, set the tamper-bit to false and wiped everything.

When connected to Wifi apps download and install automatically

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy SPH-P500 Android ver. 4.1.2 Build JZO54K.P500VPBMB3 Kernel 3.0.31-929664.
It was never activated. I tried to have Ting and Sprint activate but both were unable to. One day it started downloading an upgrade. Since then every time I connect to Wifi it downloads and installs dozens of apps. I have uninstalled them and have done a factory reset 3 times. I have installed Malwarebytes but it doesn't find any malware. Nothing I do seems to stop the downloads. So many apps are downloaded it makes it hard to use the tablet and it slows it down. This tablet was rooted before trying to activate and I thought that may be the reason we couldn't so I unrooted it. I have tried to root it again but it won't root. I have tried to boot into safe mode but it doesn't work by holding the power and volume down buttons. When Ting was troubleshooting, they had me use the calculator to boot into the safe mode but I forgot how we did it. I think I may need to flash the factory rom but I not quite sure where to start. Please help!! I am just learning where things are on the tablet even though I have had it for a couple of years so please don't use too technical terms.
Thanks
this is done by google play
go in parameters & disable this option

Thanks for your reply. Is this Google Play Store that does this? Sorry to be a noob but how do I get to parameters to disable this.
Thanks for your patience.
start google play (not wifi connected)
choose parameters option
regards
I have rooted the tablet with Kingroot and have uninstalled or disabled almost everything, but still have the issue. Everytime I connect to wifi, apps are downloaded and installed automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions? If I should install the factory rom, please direct me to where I can get the file and the directions to install. Thanks
OK
Thanks for all the suggestions. Nothing is working. Now when I turn off Wifi, after a second of two, it comes back on so I can't stop all the apps from downloading and installing. The apps use all my memory so if I try to do anything the tablet is slow and there is always some screen popping up. If I install the factory rom, will that get rid of everything and put it back to original? Doing a factory reset doesn't help.

Play Store stuck on downloading or download pending...

Hi,
I need help, cuz I'm already getting furious when I think about it. Yesterday I decided to try the new update 9.0.8 and after I clicked restart something f*cked up and it was stuck in fastboot mode. I got it back to working state with HighOnAndroid tutorial on YouTube. But, there's this problem which makes make angry.
After installing some of the apps during the finalizing configuration process, it gets stuck and nothing helps. I literally say, NOTHING. Tried all the tutorials and troubleshooting steps such as:
- clear data/cache of Play Store/Download Manager/Play Services and reboot phone
- get back to stock play store app, same happens, it just updates itself
- tried installing the newest Play Store APK from APKMirror
- factory reset
The only way to download an app is to reboot the phone. Then it downloads and the same s*it happens again. I'm tired, can you guys help me?
Anything?
