Play store error from using Freedom - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I have an issue, recently I installed freedom and it caused play store to stop working. Following some dumb suggestions on other forums and youtube I delete the host file from /etc in the system folder. How can I did this? My phone is rooted I tried uninstalling the play store app completely and re installing it but it does not work. Thank you in advance for any help you may give me.

[Q] Android Market or Google Play Store not working

I have a 10.1 tab and I never had problem going to Android Market or recently updated to Google Play Store. However, since last night I was trying to download a ADWtheme and it was getting some kind of -101 error downloading. I realized that all of the apps are giving me the same error. So i tried going to settings-->manage applications-->and clear the cache for the google play Store and also tried to unistall the updates back to original Android Market but still giving me "server error, Retry". Now absolutely no entry to the market. What is going on?? I tried signing out from the google account and re-signin but the same error message.
I wish I can uninstall the market and reinstalling it, but if i unistall the market how can i get it back?? do i have to download the apk from the computer first?? This is really getting frustrated. I hope someone can give me a solution. Greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Can you get to the google play store from a browser? If not maybe it is actually a server problem or issue between your ip and the server. It's happened to me at least once but resolved itself.

Yes, I can access through the browser. But this problem is since last nite (more than 24 hour so far and going). Just don't think it should behave like that. However, my galaxy S2 phone can access randomly but not my tab. Well, if anyone has a solution. Please let me know.
-Get Root
-Delete Vending.apk via system/app (Need root for this, Get an arr version of Root explorer or buy)
-Download this Google Play 3.5.15
-Rename it to Vending.apk, place it in system/app
-Reboot
-Voila le file minion.

I rooted my tab and i used Anexplorer and went to /system/app but couldn't find the Vending.apk. I also tried to look for the root explorer but is not in the android market anymore.

Root Explorer has always been there on the market, maybe they took it down for some reasons, eitherway you can always find it via Google
You can also us the ES File Explorer. There you have to enable "root explorer" and "mount system" in the setings.
Another possibility is to use the Filemanager HD,whereyou also have to enable the same settings.
Both work on my tab and I can edit system files.

Quick question, How do you get a gold star under your flag? o.o
Not working here either but I'm in St lucia on a wifi only. Returning to the states Friday morning. Tried force stops and clearing app, not resetting or anything down here. Wife's wifi phone was OK earlier. Not sure now. Its a et4g .
problem solved

Somehow after more than 24 hours, it resolved the problem on its own. I truly believe it was a problem with the google side.
Cheers

Is your phone rooted, if not MarketEnabler will not work! Somebody fixed error with US VPN to solve issue but I need to confirm that first.

Yes, it is rooted and still didn't work for me. But Like it post it before, the problem has fix itself on its own. So that is why I assume is the google server problem.
Still not working here.

Ususally this happens when you installed that app earlier and did not uninstall it properly. the actual culprit is the App data which remained and is not getting wiped off and the installer is unable to remove or copy on that file. Hence the error message.
Hope this helps
search /data/app for any odex files, usually deleting them will allow you to install it again.
Yes,like 2 friends above mention. I ever have this problem before after install some app and uninstall it but some file still hide in hidden folder and I want to install that app again(new version) the phone tell me that it has insufficient mem. This is my solution. Install root explorer(you need rooted phone) go to sd/data/app and find the file "xxx.xxxx.odex" and delete it(xxxx stand for the name of that app name). After that I can install that app again with no problem.
If you used LP, as said before, some odex may have been left behind. Running
LP again will clean those files...

Why can't you reinstall it? You should be able to grab it from the same rom you are on for your phone and use a root explorer to put the app in the /system/app or /system/priv-app (depending on the rom) and set the correct permissions to restore functionality after rebooting.
when i try to install it from apk it stops and says "apk not installed". can you explain me how to install it with other ways? i'm newbie here

You can't install an app that needs to be in the /system folder by just installing it like normal. You have to move it into the correct folder and set permissions. Use this as a general guide http://www.engadget.com/discuss/install-google-play-on-any-android-device-1p17/ and substitute the appropriate Play Store and Google Play Services app for your phone. If you are on 4.4.2 or above, you will need to move the apps into /system/priv-app instead of /system/app.
thank you it really helped

That's odd...you mean they are force closing? You might try rebooting to recovery and wiping cache.

[Q] Google Play Store, do we really need it?

I have recently decided to root my S6 Edge with much success. anyhow now my Google Play Store now pops up Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped! I have tryed everything i can possibly think of and still no luck.
My question is do I really need it? I hardly use it. I always just download my APK files. Even if i needed to update id just download the APK.
Please let me know and if I should look into a way to factory reset.
Rooting by itself doesn't cause Google Play Store to FC. Did you make any changes like deleting system apps?

I had to factory reset after rooting.
just download the Google Play Store apk file and install, it's should fix your problem, unless some app or you changed something in your ROM causing the problem,

Play store issue

Hello.
Recently i downloaded the modded play store from lucky patcher, so i uninstalled the original one. But the modded one, that i downloaded - wasnt working. I tried downloading APK of playstore, but when i open it - it crashed. Is there is any other way you can download the play store? I also tried flashing gapps, but there was an error because i already had all gapps exept google play store.
Im curently at pixel expierence ROM.
My device is rooted.
Thanks for help.

Lucky patcher is an "illegal" modifying utility . Kindly refrain from posting threads for such apps or you'll get banned permanently.

Omg okay thx ?. Didnt know
@Darekkk
I don't even want to quote your post because of the reference there.
You can wipe system, data, dalvik and cache, flash the ROM and Gapps (which contains PlayStore) again.
Did you make sure to move the official playstore apk to Priv-system apps folder. As per your post, I guess you have installed the official playstore apk as an user app.
