Google Play Store Not Working - Forever Downloading Apps - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

By mistake, with Titanium backup I deleted Google Play Download Manager & Google Play Services.
However, having re-installed the very latest Google Play Services, applications still do not download.
Aside from re-installing all Google apps, is there a way of only getting the Google Play Store properly working?
Thank you so much.

You will solve problem by recovering phone to factory mode (dont forget to beckup all files you whant on computer)

Didn't work, unfortunately...
I had to re-install Scrubbers 5.0 Lollipop rom!
Thankfully, all data was backed up so there is no loss of data.
However, I am surprised that the rom had to be re-installed from scratch simply because Google Services was removed...
Despite clearing cache, data, factory reset/restore did not solve the problem.
That said, it was my fault for removing Google Services.
I've just installed minimal Google apps over the rom, saves me manually removing the $hit/bloatware. :laugh:

Happened to me once. Clear data from "Google Services Framework" and the market, reboot, and try it again. Solved it for me.

Guys, I think they are not working at all. Could it be the problem of new version of play store? I am able to download the apps using mobile data actually but just not over the wifi.
Go to settings>app> type all and find Google service framework and clear data then reboot

[Q] Play Store Problem : No Connection. How to fix!?

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.

[Q] Play Store: invalid package file for paid apps only!!

Please help!
It is a month or two now that I can't update any paid app, as the APK sent is invalid!
I have the latest Play Store and Play Store Services apps on SGS2 v4.1.2 stock rom.
I tried deleting both data and cache of both, I uninstalled the old app and also tried downgrading both Play Store App, but nothing worked.
I found that the APK files I receive for paid apps are not standard zip files, they seem corrupted or encrypted: can this be?
Can anybody Help?
Uninstall the paid app. If you actually purchased the app from the play store then its yours and you can reinstall it. Doesn't matter if the app was initially corrupted during its first download or not. Google keeps record of your purchases based on your Google account. You could even wipe your device out, restore it with a clean backup and still redownload all your apps.
If this isn't the case for you then sorry but you cannot be helped because your "paid app" is third party at this point - or in lamen terms, warez.

Nope!
The case is: I paid and installed app months (or years) ago; I've always been able to update from store with newer versions; it is some months now that every paid apps come down as a corrupt (or encrypted?) APK: I can't open them as zip files. And this happens with ALL and ONLY paid apps!
If I uninstall them, they come down corrupted again and do not install!
I would have lost them if it wasn't for Titanium Backup...

I think you cleared data and cache in the settings.
As you say, it didn't work in settings, you have to go to android recovery mode to clear cache.
I don't own this device. So I can't tell you how to enter recovery mode. You can Google it.
Once you enter recovery mode, there will be an option to clear cache. It clears cache of all the apps.
If you want, you can use custom recovery modes to clear cache.
After clearing it, reboot system and then try again to access.
Hope, it works.
Press thanks if I have helped you.

Downgrading Google Play app doesn't solve the issue in any way. It may complicate the issue even more.
The apk files will be encrypted as it is a paid app. I suppose.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Edge 9250 Chinese Version -- Play Store How?

Hi, so I went ahead and bought the edge Chinese version, 64 gb.
Is there anyway to get the playstore on this phone?
I tried installing a VPN then downloading the playstore APK uploaded by ?XDA Garner? and when I click on it, the app opens then closes and goes back to the main screen.
Do I need to root the phone or what can I do to get around this? I would prefer the least invasive method possible to get the play store.
did u installed the Google Play Service yet? made sure install the correct once.

most of the time, if u installed wrong Google Play Service It will crashed, I messed up Google Play Service once before, the way I fixed the crashed problem is I uninstalled it then go to Google Play Store from the website, then from there I install the Google Play Service, it's will automatic install the correct Google Service for your phone, worked for me.
can someone post the galaxy app store apk from a g9250 phone?

[Q] How to fix google play services update issue

So here is my basic issue at the moment:
I can get google play to work but uninstalling in titanium back up and reinstalling the apk manually and making it a system app. BUT it wont let me download apps or upfmdate apps or update google play services also I can't sync my contacts from my gmail account with my device. Thanks to one of the admins on here I was able to get google play up and running after it crashed the first time but sadly it has stopped functioning all together now. I have tried clearing the cache I haave wiped data but to no avail. I have even gone through the sames steps I used on my last thread to geet it working again but sadly the app fails after 2 to 3 minutes of being reinstalled. Does anyone know of a fix for this kind of an issue?
When I try to download apps it gives me the following error now
Error retrieving information from server
[RPC:S-7:AEC-0]
Wipe Cache in recovery
That got playstore up and running still no contacts syncing tho :/

restoring anything to /system using titanium in lollipop doesn't work, yet. Remove your google account in settings/accounts then wipe cache again, you won't lose anything. Then wipe data from google services and play store, you can use titanium to do that. Reboot, wipe cache again, then add your google account (do not restore it from a backup) in settings/accounts, and let it sync.
also,
if you're using any kind of nodded play store to do that first sync it won't work
