Have a problem with my TFP, downloaded and updated to JB using this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1909819
Tried getting rid of some bloatware however i obviously deleted something important as now on play store i constantly get Server error on open. Have tried the usual fix's on here of uninstalling clearing data re installing etc all to know avail.
So i tried doing a factory reset however it did not install anything i had removed, I then tried downgrading which didn't work either, so in short have i lost google play forever, does anyone have a base JB i can use to re install everything.
Please help been tinkering for hours now to no avail.
Interestingly cant use GMAIL app either.

You don't say if you are unlocked and have a recovery?
Doing a factory reset will not bring back deleted apps as it only wipes the cache etc.
Re installing should have brought them apps back but I don't know how you are tying to re install.. Can you give a little bit more information on what I have asked please.

Hi There Have rooted device but other than that everything is stock. Sorry cant really provide much more info than that just used the steps in the guide quoted above.
When i say reinstall i mean starting a fresh from the beginning of the guide listed above. Have found out i am missing the google services framework.APK as well anyone know where i can get a copy thats on the TFP, i have downloaded a few but the install fails every time i try, would these be device specific?

You will not be able to just install it. You will have to copy it into system/app folder using a file manager that has root support like es file explorer or root explorer.
Here is the file from the new JB update.

Copy the one I posted above into the system/app folder and give it permission rw-r--r-- and then restart the tablet to let it create the cache file.. See if that works.

I'm really not sure what you deleted all together but try this.
GO to settings-apps and go to "all"
Scroll down to Google play services and google play store and force stop both and clear data and cache for both.

Any reason why you can't unlock the device and install a recovery so you can install custom roms? or are you trying to keep your warranty intact ?
I'm also not sure why you can't just do part 3 of the instructions you followed in the original post to put jellybean back on again. ( then again you have edited so many files this might not be advisable.)

As you said i am trying to keep warranty in place at the moment, i thought that following section three would work as well as i only accidentally changed the files from the system when i had installed but every time i have tried it doesnt reinstall the apks that were removed.

I am experiencing a weird issue, that I have not yet found a solution for.
I have been using a different media player for a while, and have decided I want to use Google Play Music again.
When I try to install from the market, I get an error "Application already exists..."
Well, no it doesn't it.
I tried downloading the APK to install directly outside the market,
but the package installer gives another error: "X Application not installed"
So, which is it? Is it already installed, or is it not installed?
I think there is a file somewhere on this phone that makes it think Google Play Music is already there,
but for the life of me I cannot find it.
I tried opening the APK to see if the contained files are already on the phone somewhere,
but I am not having any luck.
Can anyone help here?

You tried wiping?
or you maybe pushed an app to system, without changing permissions. the app will be installed, kinda.
I'd wipe.

Yeah, I am sure wiping will resolve the issue, however I still do not know the cause, so I am worried if I go through all the trouble of a full wipe I may unwittingly reproduce the same error later anyway.
I did not try to push an app to system...
In digging around I don't find any java packages that refer to music. This has me scratching my head.

Try going into system and looking for the google play music apk. maybe its there but just corrupted.
Reboot your phone. Had the same problem on my tab .
Thanks for trying guys. Nothing worked... factory reset did the trick.
On the positive side, a full restore using TBU (including system data) when not changing roms is quite effective

I had the same problem with sywpe at one time. Even though the .apk was removed from /system/apps AND from /data/apps it still thought it was installed. Turned out
it was a file in /system/lib . If yer still interested in how it happened for ****s and giggles that may be it.

You need to install (flash) gapps.zip from recovery mode.
copy zip file to your sd card.
from recovery mode, choose install zip from sd card
select zip file and install it. then reboot system.
when reboot, you can see play store app and can use it.

Only because I feel I have exhausted every option do I ask for someones help,I have done all I can think to do.
My Google Now (version 2.7) all of a sudden started FC.I asked for advice in a thread and I was advised to use System App Remover to remove Google Now and reboot,I did and now I am having issues getting anything but an inverted 2.6 Google Now using Team Blackout Updater to install.I have asked around and was told to look for system/app/velvet.apk and remove it but,even that doesn't work.I feel like there is a folder that has been deleted somehow?When I go through the steps to sign in to Google Now and when I get to "Yes,I am in" part it goes to load my cards and FC.
Please,any help appreciated.
Would I have to Odin back to stock to get my apparently missing Google Now files?
Running Hyperdrive RLS9 currently but,I have tried going to TW Eclipse,GE Eclipse,another GE ROM,BonesStock and nothing works to help me fix my issue.
Thanks.

Not sure I can answer it all... but here is the steps...
1. Using any file explorer remove(delete) Velvet.apk and/or QuickSearchBox.apk If for some reason you have both you will get FC's.
2. Reboot to recovery
3. Wipe Cache and then Wipe Dalvik
4. Reboot
5. Flash Inverted or One from Market
6. Test...
7. If still bad, repeat Steps 1-4
8. Using File Explorer go into Data/Data and search for any refreance to quicksearchbox (woudl be a folder) delete.. You might find referances under data/app-asec or data/app-private depending on version of Android running.
9. Repeat steps 1-5
Try flashing someone else's GNow.. I have one here...

I forgot,this is where I run into another problem that stops me from going forward.
After deleting quicksearchbox.apk,wiping and re-installing using Play store,failing,then going to look for velevet.apk or quicksearchbox.apk again in system/app neither are there! Even though I installed it through Play,there are no references to quicksearchbox or velvet.apk at all anymore in system/app.Only the Google Search widget and I know that isn't it.I did manage to find the folder and deleted it in data/data and that was the only reference found in a search.
Any ideas how to move forward from here?

If you install from Play Store, there will not be a apk named Velvet.apk or QuickSearchBox.apk.. that is a name commonly used by Dev(ROM's/Themers). You apk would be located in data/com.google.android.quicksearchbox-1.apk would be the name... if this is the case.. go to my link and flash mine. It takes care of removeing it and placing Velevet.apk on your system...
try that.
Ugh,lol
This is so stupid!
I went ahead and installed your full inverted zip,tried to get in the app,FC again,managed to find the velvet.apk this time,deleted,searched for and found quucksearchbox folder and deleted again.Rebooted into recovery,wiped,rebooted,rebooted back into recovery flashed your full inverted zip,rebooted,opened the app,clicked Yes,I'm in and FC!

Don't ask me how but,I have a inverted 2.7 working right now,lol.
I have no clue how it happened either,I installed a 2.6 apk,got it to load,rebooted my phone for a different reason and the Play store updated Google Now to 2.7,but it's inverted!
How?
Did you ever have a chance to look at that logcat?
I'm still having problems!
I think I may have originally posted in the wrong area. I've morphed my Kindle Fire HD 6 from stock to 4.5.4 with working GApps, TWRP, and ADB. Silly me, I logged in with the wrong email address when I set up Google Play. Can someone point me in the right direction as how to remedy this? Thanks!

Son of a gun! I am my own worst enemy. Everything appears to be up and running, but I used the wrong email address when configuring the Google Play Store. That's always been a "set it and forget it" thing for me, so I wasn't sure which one I wanted. Anyone know how to easily fix that? The settings I find on the Internet searches do not exist in the Google Settings.

Your fix is super easy! In TWRP, do factory reset, and re-apply the 4.5.4 TWRP ready update. Install Supersu, reboot into FireOS. Reboot back into TWRP, install GAPPS. After this nothing old will be left over, except for recovery, TEE1/2, and bootloader, which you should not touch anyway.

Looks like the quote below will fix me up, right? I'm on 4.5.4 rooted with TWRP, ADB and working GApps.

I know it's hard (impossible?) to change a Play Store account. Can't you just add your usual account? I think the store opens with whatever account you last used there, so you can always stick with just the one. If you can't have 2 accounts, first try a factory reset (Settings>Device Options), go to play store and see if it prompts you to register again. Reinstall SuperSU and run it.
Bibikalka's method will certainly give you a fresh Gapps (pico Gapps from here is fine.). Just seems a long way around to fix an account. An alternative is to uninstall Gapps, then flash the pico gapps in TWRP.
Thank you for the response! I'm most comfortable with uninstalling the Google Play Store and reflashing GAPPS. Here's what I did:
adb shell pm uninstall com.android.vending.apk
I double-checked in debloater and it was gone, so I rebooted to recovery, installed GAPPS again, Wiped Dalvik/Cache, rebooted. It upgraded, had Google Play back, made me agree to the TOS, but then it still had my original account logged in.
Can you tell me which APKs I need to remove? Because this apparently wasn't enough. Thanks!

Oh, you need to search how to uninstall gapps :laugh: You just got the play store. Need play services, framework and I don't know what else. Probably easier to uninstall with file explorer or rom toolbox. Frankly, I'd go with factory reset. I'm just not sure it'll actually work. If it does, that's easiest.
Ok. Thanks! I'll do my research tonight.

I think google account mgr is the other one you need, but pls do a search to be sure. Before uninstalling, try this: In Settings->apps'>manage all, scroll right to All and clear cache, clear data and force stop google framework, play services and acct mgr. Install play store (get latest from apkmirror), run it and see if you're prompted to sign in. If yes, good. If no, use es file explorer to uninstall the apps. They should be in system/priv-apps. es fm will prompt you to delete data. Then flash Gapps in TWRP.
I didn't something right. Here's what I did to the best of my knowledge:
Tried to clear cache/data force stop apps.
Couldn't install latest Play Store. Failed because apk already exists.
Used ES Explorer to uninstall apps.
Messed up and deleted Framework Services instead of uninstalling (ES Explorer newb error).
Uninstalled Google Acct Manager. Couldn't find any of the others to uninstall?
Flashed GAPPS in TWRP and wiped Dalvik/Cache.
My Google Play Store did not come back. =)
Is there a way to do everything over? (Go to 4.5.3, upgrade to 4.5.4, etc?
Thank you so much for your help. It's greatly appreciated.
EDIT; More specifically, I wouldn't mind doing a "Factory Reset", but I haven't found the specific instructions on here yet that will keep me from messing it up worse.

Factory reset can't hurt anything, even when everything's running fine. All it does is get rid of data. It doesn't touch root (the exploit) or any system stuff in /system. You stay on the same OS version you're on. (Settings/Device Options/Reset to Factory Defaults)
I don't think reset will help anything, but:
1. Factory reset
2. See if you got Google framework services back when you flashed Gapps.
3. See if you can install the play store apk you downloaded.
If yes, post back. If no, follow this guide to start over: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/root-developer-preview-lollipop-os-5-t3172408 It's as step-by-step as we've got. If you want lollipop, follow the whole thing. For 4.5.4 only, just go through part B and post back. That guide says to post in other threads if problems, but you can post in that one.
Did the factory reset. Saw TWRP briefly on reboot before it rebooted again. Started on Wi-Fi screen. SuperSU popped up and asked for Root. Gave it. Now I'm stuck in Settings.
Oops. There's a lesson to be learned here. Factory reset is bad.
EDIT: I still have ADB connectivity.
EDIT 2: I guess I'll do the 5.2.0 update in the link you provided. I'm worried more about functionality than OS version. Thank you again for all of your help.

Dang! Live and learn. Well now we know what people are doing that causes "boot into settings."
First, try to reboot. You'll probably boot back to settings, but find out. Now make sure you can get into TWRP (adb reboot recovery). Lastly, go look at your original post for the fix
EDIT: @KindleFireHD6 Our posts crossed. Not sure how you're going to update. Were you able to boot to system?
Hey. I contributed! Woohoo! :laugh:
Rebooted. Still prompted for language and then stuck in Settings.
Adb reboot recovery into TWRP
Should I use the original instructions to go back to 4.5.x or use the new and go to 5.2.0? Which involves the least risk?

Stick with @bibikalka's instructions for recovering from the bootloop and staying in 4.5.4. You can update to Lollipop after everything's stable and Gapps is good for you.
Yes, you did contribute. I suspect problem is factory reset from device while OTA is blocked. Thanks!
FIXED!
AND I used the correct email address when I setup Google Play this time. Funny thing is, it was all for Minecraft, which I had bought. It's showing up under All Apps, meaning it knows I've gotten it before, but it's showing that it costs $6.99 instead of just showing "Download". I wonder if there is a device limit and I reached it. Maybe 3?
Thank you again.

Bravo!!!
My phone has YouTube version 12.16.16 installed when the newest version in the Play Store is 12.19.56.
However the YouTube page in the play store does not show an Update button, just an Open button.
I downloaded the latest version APK, but I'm getting an "App not installed" error message while trying to install the APK.
After doing some google searching I reset app preferences, cleared cache of the Play Store and the Play Services apps and restarted the phone. Afterwards I'm still getting an error while installing the APK.
Any advice?

Deleted it entirely so it isn't a system app. Are you rooted? Remove it with titanium backup and reinstall from the play store

Ah sorry.. you could try uninstalling updates from settings/apps and then updating again in the play store
Could you please guide me further? Are you running android O?
I entered apps info from the settings and could not find an uninstall updates button. I would expect the button to appear in the play store on the YouTube page, but it does not.

Under apps it is the "disable" button. It will ask if you want to uninstall updates, click OK and let it disable.
Now reenable it and install update from play store

When I disable YouTube it just gets disabled. I do not get asked any questions. I still do not know how to get updates.
Anybody has an advice?
Not any app should be disabled. It's hard to tell as we don't know all modifications you did to your system. It seems to be working for everyone.
Factory reset and done...

You have no idea what I'm talking about obviously
On earlier versions (not sure about on O), when you disable it'll ask you if you want to uninstall updates. You can then re-enable and reinstall the updates.

If you don't want root, flash twrp with fastboot, boot to twrp recovery, mount system, use twrpfilemanager to delete YouTube, use twrp to install stock recovery.img, boot system and install YouTube from playstore.
First you can try to download YouTube.apk from apkmirror.com and try updating manually.
Edit, sry you tried that already.
Good luck, root makes life easier

Keep calm. I didn't read your message.
What I am saying is that no apps should be disabled (not only YouTube) and that finally a factory reset would solve the problem.

That would take a lot longer than what I suggested. A full reset vs a two second fix.

Twice you quote my whole post but only answer the part you are interested in.
The suggestion that I gave after yours to re-enable all apps is valid whatever you say and includes your ''two seconds fix''.... I brought this to his attention because he's still asking for help.
So if your fix doesn't work OP can try this and ultimately factory reset.
Wow I don't intend to explain 3 times a so simple post. Take your time to read...

Nice bull****ting with your factory reset, lol
I was on O and had the new updated youtube tabs. After resetting it back to 7.1.2 the tabs didn't appear. Deleted the app from system with no luck.
Can you clarify on how you think a factory reset would solve this?
