I'm on android 4.1.2 rooted LG G2. I had to reset phone after removing root. I then got root again but now Google Play Store was missing. I tried downloading a Google Play .apk and Google Play Services. I edited hosts file and added # in front of second one. It worked for some minutes but stopped.now when I looked at hosts file, it's empty. Now when I open hosts editor app it says error parsing hosts file.
I tried clearing app store and google play services data and cache but it don't work. It's the hosts file that's empty. I took a screenshot of what it was before it went blank. What do I do to fix it ?

If your not rooted you really can't fix it. What more than likely happened is you somehow created more than 1 Google play file inside the system/app or data/app folders. You need root to remove them

I said in the post I got root again after I did factory reset. Now play store isn't working.
What are the file names ? Are you talking about two files the same kind or two .apk files installed ? I tried searching and didn't find anything. earlier I tried uninstalling play services and play store and reinstall one from online. What do I do ? Without reset phone ?

Both. You can also uninstall play services if you'd like. You may have to reset the phone

i won't be posting if i found the solution believe me. ok i have a samsung galaxy gio GT-S5660M Android version 2.3.4 build number GINGERBREAD.MUGKG3 (Stock rom gingerbread ) but it is rooted. ok so i was trying to free up some space on my internal memory and i was using titanium back up and i converted google play to a user app (it took too long so i assumed it didn't work) but i backup the google play. i was able to move it to sd card thought ,but then i still don't have enought free memory to receive text msg (20mb needed) so i did a factory reset which freed up everything. and i was still rooted ( i fixed it) but now google play won't open it gives me this message (process com,android,vending) so i downloaded a new com.android.vending but still won't work i tried the clear data it will open and i can search but whenever i try to download it will force close (i know you can download app to your pc and install it from sd but it would be more convenient to do it on your phone please help if you can and thank you for reading i know it's quite long
I had some issues with Google play earlier, but it was trying to put a modded market on it. As far as I know, Google play must stay as a system app, out else it will not work.
I would suggest trying to move it back to being a system app. I use a free app from Google play called /system/app mover.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover
It can tell you if it is installed as a system app or not. If not, move it back to system and then reboot and see if that helps.

Hi there,
If ever you encounter this FC/not dowloading apps for Playstore/Market again, this might help, it might also be the cause of new partition or something like that, you can try this option freely..
1. check if cache folder has "download" folder inside it, if it no download folder then create one inside /cache, e.g. mkdir /cache/download.
2. then chmod the /cache folder to 777, also make sure the com.android.vending folder is present inside /data/data/ folder.
3. You can achive it through shell terminal.
Hope this helps you next time if ever, just ever , fixing the FC(Force close or not downloading apps on playstore or market).
Thanks

another way is go to your file manger app,go to system->app->find something like com.vending.apk or something like that->delete it and install a new play store from the gapps file by extracting the file and install the new play store

The Play Store displays no connection even with wifi. Already tried wiping dalvik cache, cache partition. Also tried force closing and clearing data from Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Service Framework. Help!!
Not enough information, your Play app could be corrupt, app settings, ROM or Google account.
Try logging into Google play on the website first to check the account works, then un-install Play app, re-install without settings, last try factory reset/reflash ROM.
It could be really simple or very terminal, like you've disabled a service or corrupted your ROM.
extra info
Google play account works on website. Tried signing out and can't sign back in - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection". Google play v3.10.14. How do you uninstall google play app?
Have you tried clearing the cache of google play services and google play in the application mananger ?

found a better solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset or device wipe. just delete the hosts file in root/etc/, by using (total commander) app.then reboot ur device and run play store and enjoy. Make a copy of the "hosts" file just incase .
I hope it works for u guys , cuz it's really frustrating error.

Deleting the hosts file and rebooting worked for me too. Thank you! :good:
AdFree
When using a rooted phone and you used Freedom for free in-game purchases, and as a result your play store won't connect, it's due the host file as stated in previous comments by others. To get rid of this problem, simply revert your host file and download the new host (both in the adfree app). This should fix the problem, hope it helps
Wrong Gapps version
After trying all solutions posted in this thread, I realized that the whole problem was that I had flash the wrong version of the Google Apps for the android version.
You can find which is the right one for your CM in the CyanogenMod Wiki. Sorry, I can't add the link now, it is my first link.
Fixed mine by realizing that somehow my system date and time were wrong.

Hello,
So I've downloaded the black themed play store, was so excited when I flashed it. But now I want the original play store back! I have a back up of the original play store but once I install it, the app wont be installed because its a different signature..Any Suggestions?
Try removing the Play Store apk you have installed (with titanium or something like that) then install your backup apk.

Hi, a few days back, i deleted my backed up playstore. How could I restore the orignal playstore. I mean, the first version which would automatically update itself later on. Could anybody attach the oldest version here ?

Try going to settings, app manager, all, google play store, uninstall updates
Hope that helped
I guess i didnt mention it correctly. I installed the latest market apk n pushed it as system app. So, since the base apk is the new one, thr wont b any option to uninstall updates. But I need that thing, so could anybody upload the version of the market that comes up with note2 stock. Without updates.

It sounds like it'd be best if you ODIN'd back to stock and started over.
If nothing else works try the dreaded Odin route

Any links you could put me on for the Galaxy S4 ?
Also why is Odin dreaded?
Don't need to odin. Just simply download the apk, copy it from your SD card and paste it in your system/app folder. Once pasted, change permission to -rw -r -r. Now you'll see it in your app drawer.
Off-topic: There's something wrong with the default containers services on that rom. Everyone thinks it's a Google Play store error, nobody even bothered checking the logcat to see why...lol...I haven't gotten around to trying to fix it yet.

You're not trying to install it automatically. You're installing it manually by playing it into your app folder and changing permissions. Read my post and follow it and you will be golden, the concept is the same for all android devices
