PlayStore error (963) on several ROMs [HELP] - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I bought a brand new S7 Edge yesterday and today I decided to install a custom ROM because of samsung's bull**** software.
Downloaded a few and flashed them, but every rom had a problem on PlayStore that I wasn't able to download any apps from it.
The error was number 963 and I did everything I could to fix (deleting playstore cache, removing the sd card, rebooting and so...)
Does someone know how to fix it?
I tried flashing Android Marshmallow and Nougat, but they had the same results
Thanks in advance guys!

[Q] CM10 Setup Wizard stopped loop

Total Noob, not sure what I did.
Long story short, rooted my Galaxy Tab 10.1 wifi (p7510) tonight.
Saw a video on how to flash 4.1 onto my tab here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRjl7zh551w
followed the instructions from the video, it linked to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787399
downloaded the latest nightly from http://get.cm/?device=p4wifi
(cm-10.1-20130124-NIGHTLY-p4wifi.zip )
and the gapps from mirror 1 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787399
(gapps-jb-20120729.zip)
There was probably my mistake
In any case, i wiped everything, flashed the CM10 and gapps.
On reboot I got 2 error messages,
"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." ok
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." ok (loops forever)
Now I have no idea how to recover from this point.
I tried to re-wipe and re-flash my old functioning ICS root and it still reboots into CM loading screen and setup wizard loop
Also, if i attempt to install zip from sdcard my options are:
0/
legacy/
obb/
legacy and obb contain no files and I have to navigate down a couple of layers of 0/ to reach my original root.
Probably screwed myself royally, but I guess that's how you learn. Any advice on how to salvage my tab?
Update*
Restore finds no files to restore
used odin for TWRP instead of CM, still no luck at restoring.
Won't mount USB, so I don't know how to transfer over a different gapps to see if that would solve the problem.
Revert to stock 4.0.4 through odin and start over. Probably be the easiest. I've had to a few times and yes it's how you/we all learn...
Firmware Here

I am in exactly the same situation as you, same build same gapps, same problem.
To help you out, in recovery (CWM) you can mount /data, then using adb on you computer you can push stuff to the "sdcard" via the command "adb push C:\Some\Local\File.zip /data/media/0/File.zip"
Same problem for me. I installed CM10.1 without gapps and it worked without problems. I also tried with different versions of gapps and give all the mentioned problem.
"Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped." OK
"Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped." ok (loops forever)
Does anyone have a solution to this problem.
Thx
Help required if possible!
Hello all, joined just to post here.
I'm having the same issues as detailed in the first post.
A lot of the solutions that I've seen recommend going into settings and turning syncing off but the error messages block me from accessing anything. It eventually just seems to crash itself and turn off anyway, which is probably due to being bombarded with error message popups.
Is there a simple way to fix this without doing a full reset back to 4.0.4 or is that my only choice?
If so then I'm in trouble because I followed the link that mrhiab provided but I can't see which firmware there is the one I need (wifi only galaxy tab 10.1 P7510 uk).
Is the cause of this problem that the version of gapps I installed is broken and causes errors as it worked fine without gapps?
If anyone can answer any of those questions then I'd really appreciate it. I've semi broken my girlfriends tab and she's not too happy lol!
UPDATE/SOLVED:
Just thought I'd comment back and say that I've solved the problem.
I simply reflashed the CM by putting the tab into install mode again but didn't add gapps. After rebooting I noticed that it worked okay so I tried to find another release of gapps and tried that...it worked perfectly - no errors no nothing!
Sorry for the initial noob-post!
same problem as you
sir ... i also have the same problem as you ... i've been searching on almost all sites ... still i can't see any issues that can solve my problem.1st was "unfortunately, google.com.pro ..." then next was "unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped." this results everytime i reboot my galaxytab 2 10.1 .. im on JB 4.1.1 .. and i just followed the guide of sir codeworkx. please lend me a solution.
BTW midgard .. how did you flash CM again w/o the gapps ? because when i go to install zip from sd card ... there's nothing in there .. just obb and stuffs said by the thread maker.
I will appreciate suggestions ... Thanks in advance
I hope some suggestions may come up eventually
I found a way on installing cyanogenmod 10 on my Galaxy tab 2 10.1 by not installing gapps at the same time while installing the CM10 .. but eventually, i found out i don't have any google playstore .. and that's when i googled on how to have one. I found a video saying i could have it by just going to there website via my tablet goo-apps .. then download the existing gapss for my JB 4.1.1 .. and then flash it .. but then again ... the error of the Unfortunately, setup wizard stopped came up again ... help
and thanks midgard !!!

[help] Package File Invalid?

Hey guys, this is the first time I have seen this error from the play store (Latest update as of this post)
I have tried everything I can (Google search results from 100+ sources) besides getting a new phone.
I've tried going back to stock, I've tried CM10.1, I have tried Wiping and fixing permissions in every single menu on recovery AND in the phone.
I am running the USCC Variant of the SGS3 (Almost identical to the D2VZW) I even went as far as installing an older AND New CWM/TWRP recovery.
Is there a one tick fits all method to fixing this error?
"Package File Invalid" Only happens to a few applications (Whether it is Updating OR Downloading a new app altogether.)

problem with play store

I didn't see this posted yet so I had to ask, has anyone else had trouble with the play store? Every time I want to open the play store it says that there is no connection. I've tried it on perfect 3G and WiFi with the same results. The app will start and then it will show my email address and some options but at the same time it says there's no data connection. I'm on the stock ROM ROW 124. I've noticed many instabilities with this ROM, but this is the worst problem so far. Apart from that the next worst is that it often stalls, sometimes up to 15 to 20 seconds. Often that happens when changing apps or starting an application.

Well like I said it's a strange problem, but it's a problem that I have nonetheless. And every time it happens I have to reinstall the ROM to fix it. I tried clearing out recently installed apps and the dalvic and such with no luck. So after three weeks of the problem I decided to post this question. Which ROM would you suggest for the most stability and battery life?

I've had a lot of trouble trying to switch to the Chinese base and even more trouble trying to switch back. Which is the best for row with 8gb internal memory?
I had this problem on the AOSP 1.8 China. The GAPPS that i used are for 4.4.2, you should look for the one of your Android Version.
I know that the rom is different, but here there are my steps for the INSTALLATION of AOSPand to solve the ISSUE ABOUT GOOGLE ACCOUNTS, i think it should work even for your rom:
- I installed Vibe UI with Flashtools, just booted to check it then I rebooted in recovery. I didn't put any google account on it.
- From recovery I installed the AOSP 1.8 4.4.2
- At the first boot I get this 2 messages: "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped" "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped" and I can't go on seting up the phone.
- Back in recovery tried a wipe to factory settings, it works, so I enter in the O.S.
Then
- Once in the O.S. I cant get to login in my Google Accounts, I get "there was a problem communicating with Google Servers"
- Back in recovery tried another wipe to factory settings, it DOES NOT works.
- From recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the AOSP 1.8, it DOES NOT works.
- Downloaded the GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip, it DOES NOT works.
- So i was tired, and I installed from recovery SLX v26a CHINA.
- In SLX v26 I tried to log in with Google Play, and I logged in with success.
- Back in recovery I flashed again AOSP 1.8 over the SLX v26 china.
- Booting the AOSP 1.8, Google Play icon and files exist, but in SETTINGS->ACCOUNT there is no option to put a Google Account (only standard EMAIL ICON) and if you try adding it from Google Play, it crashes.
- Again, back in recovery, I Installed again GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip
- Still in recovery, I tried a Wipe to Factory
- Back in the O.S. I tried to add an account in Settings->Accounts, and finally it works.
I found GApps_Light_4.4.2_signed.zip on XDA but i cant remember the address of the discussion. Mine was of size of 47.4 MB not the one of 50 MB, the second ones gave me an error in recovery.

Well I'm not getting any force closes. I'm on the stock ROM that I bought it with. It's just rooted and TWRP recovery. I want to try the Vibe UI ROM but getting the darn thing to switch to a China base has been killer. So I don't know how this could be a gapps problem as I never had to flash gapps on this unit. If you know an easy way to flash over to a version of kitkat on an 8 gb set I would be very grateful for your imput. I think that my trouble is coming from the OS 4.2.1. I like Droid 4.3. It's still jelly bean but it's better than 4.2.1. I read on the Chinese site that version 124 is unstable, But I've had a horror of a time changing it.

Cannot update Google Play Services error 506 on xt912 spyder

Hi Guys,
I'm needing a little help. I have my phone rooted and it was flashed with CM11. I switched back to the stock rom to check something and when I tried to reactivate the slot my rom was in, the reactivation failed. So I figured if I have to put a rom back on, I would try something new. After reading some reviews on a couple of roms, I choose the Pacman LP rom 5.1.1. Installed and flashed the gapps. All of the google stuff updated fine. A couple of days later I noticed I wasn't able to use the data to go online. The phone and texts were fine. I thought it was the rom, so I deleted it and reflashed. Again, couldn't go online. Contacted my carrier and the found out the APN wasn't listed. Added it and all was good again. So I thought.
After flashing the rom I again flashed the gapps, only this time google play services will not update. It keeps flashing error code 506. I've wiped the cache several time and have also done a factory reset to no avail. I've also deleted the rom and tried installing it in a different slot, and that isn't working either. I've downloaded newer versions of gapps, but cannot get them to install at all. When trying, I either get error code 40 or 70.
I've deleted the cache from Google Play Store and Google Play Services and I've also gone into data/data and deleted the cache from com.android.vending. Nothing seems to work.
After this long story, my question is, if go into the stock rom and delete safestrap and reinstall it, could that possibly fix my issue?

Try mokee, cyanogen, or one of the unofficial roms like resurection remix or something like. I am currently running on my droid 4 and razor resurection remix but based on android M. It all depends on what you like. If you like to customize and highly configurable rom resurection remix based on android M is good to go. I use open gapps projects.

GApps error after installing custom ROM

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
