Hello everyone reading this!
I found out that no one really has a solution how to fix a broken play store. Many people are saying "reinstall it" or "factory reset your phone" but this wasn't really a solution for me.
Reinstalling only did it worse because then i kept getting a "Play store stopped working" popup so after a week of trying things i finally found the solution.
So if you don't have Play store anymore or it just stopped working then you should try this out!
First try these things and after that try the solution that is in green:
1. First uninstall substratum if you have it (it sometimes breaks the play store)
2. Try reinstalling the play store but get the apk from apkmirror because it's safe there and don't get the newest version. Get an little older version. I always take 13.x.xx. It has more success rate than 14.x.xx.
3. Try deleting dalvik cache
4. Try installing it as system by moving the apk to /system/app with the correct permissions (rw-r-r, root:root)
DON'T FORGET A NANDROID BACKUP IN THE GREEN SOLUTION!
I accidentally deleted my Play store and couldn't reinstall it. This was the only solution that worked for me. You CAN use it on a stock rom where play store and play services was preinstalled. It will still work.
FINAL SOLUTIONIf these 2 things didn't work then go to the opengapps site, download the gapps app and open it. It should automatically select the correct things for your phone. In the variant select "Pico" and press download. After that hit install and it should send you to your custom recovery and it should automatically install it. You are basically done.
I hope i could help anybody. I literally searched a week for an solution and there weren't any. So i am the first to introduce the new way to fix the play store.

Hi I have tried to download apps from the Play Store and I found that they are apps that download and install, and others that only show the "processing" progress bar. I have tried several things without solving this, I have wiped cache and app data from the Play Store and the Google Framework Service and even factory reseted my tablet. And errased all the downloaded list apps in the Play Store, and it solved it with several apps, but it wasn´t a permanent solution. Also I thought it was a problem of the ROM I installed so from CM 10 I returned to the Stock ROM, with the same problem.
If someone has a way to fix this, please help me :crying:
PD: If you have the same problem, please say what you have tried and how it started, we might be able to find a way to solve it
Hello I am new to this forum,
I have a Rooted Galaxy S4 Mini, and I had a custom patch of the Play Store installed, but I just hated the icon and didnt notice any difference between the custom patch and the original version of the Play Store so I decided to go back to the original one and uninstalled the Custom one and installed the regular play store and when I did, I opened it and it started loading and showed me the Terms of Service once more but suddenly the little window with the Terms disappeared and the Play Store froze. Soon after it just crashed and a message saying it had stopped appeared. And this just repeats itself everytime I try to open it, It wont even let me tap accept or decline. I tried installing previous versions of the Play store and the same thing happens, tried clearing cache & data and reboot, didnt work, tried clear cache, data, then force stop and reboot and got nothing. tried doing this to Google Play Services, services framework and play store, nothing. I even tried uninstalling updates of Google Play services and all of this steps again. But nothing. And yes, my download manager is enabled. I was so desperate I decided to back everything up with Titanium backup and then I did a factory reset. When it turned on and I configured it, there was no Play Store in my apps. So I manually installed ES File Explorer and Titanium backup to restore my phone and my backup wasnt there unfortunately so I installed Play Store manually too and I got the same error! And now I got to personalize everything again and download all the stuff I had back in so it would be nice to at least get the Play Store working again, please help me!
Sorry for long post please give me some of your time and help me
Thanks
Hi Toby,
Welcome! Unfortunately, you're in the wrong forum. This forum is specifically for the Galaxy S4, Verizon version. If you go back to forums, you can look through the list and find a forum closer to your model.
That being said, I am not sure where this post should go. Maybe a moderator can point that out...
If no one comes to your aid, PM me and I'll send you a link to a Google Play Store zip file to install.
Thanks for your help and sorry about that I am new to this forum
Hi, I really need some help.
I somehow broke Google Play on my phone. It won't open at all. Tap on it, and it closes without even loading anything. I've tried literally everything except a factory reset, which I don't want to do, since I've got some things on here that I don't want to lose. I've tried to wipe cache, uninstall, reinstall, reboot, checked time and date, reverted it to an old backup from when it did work, reinstalled play services, everything. It just won't open at all. Might be because of Lucky Patcher being a piece of crap and doing something while loading some menu's, but I don't know. I've tried to reinstall the normal and modded version as user app and as system app with Lucky Patcher, didn't work either, and I'm getting pretty desperate, honestly. Can anyone help me?
I should add, I'm using a Huawei P9 (regular, Eva L09)
Hi , try to :
- uninstall lucky patcher ,
- remove your google and other accounts ,
- install this google play services and reboot your device.
https://apk.cafe/go.php?http://goog...atch/12.6.85 (040306-197041431)/for/huawei-p9
After that , wipe cache and data from:
- Gmail
- YouTube
- Google Play Store
- Play Services
- Google
- Google Plus
And after that reboot your device , open Google Play Store , add your account and try if is working.
Good Luck
Hi. I followed your steps exactly, and after logging back in into my account and opening Google play store again, I still crashes right after I press it, so that didn't help either. Thanks anyway, I think I completely broke it. Do you think flashing Gapps will help?
Sorry for late response , you can try to reflash back to stock firmware . You have on the internet how to do that for your device . Good luck

Hello everyone reading this!
I hope you can help me with my problem.
My problem is the following thing:
I was having some problems with my play store so i wanted to reinstall it.
So uninstalled Google Play Store with root but the problem is that i couldn't install it again.
(And i only make backups of my boot partition because i don't have so much space to backup data in twrp.)
When i try to install play store again with the latest apk of it then it just crashes. I also tried installing it as system by moving it to /system/app with the correct permissions but still not working. And i also tried it on /system/priv-app but it just disappears there.
I found out that if i use a old version of the play store (9.8.07) then it doesn't crash right away. But i still cannot use it properly. It crashes when trying to install something.
I also found out that if i try to uninstall something with this old version then it doesn't crash right away but it says "uninstalling" forever.
So i think it may be that play store didn't get the permissions that it needs?
I tried so many things but i just don't know how i can fix it. I don't want to do a factory reset or something like that.
Please help me. I just want my good old play store back.
Edit:
I can't even use YouTube. It doesn't allow me to use it without play store. This is much worse than I thought it would be.
My paid apps, substratum, everything i paid for is just broken now.
(SM-N920C, Samsung Galaxy Note 5, Nougat 7.0 Stock Rom, Rooted with Magisk, Xposed is installed, TWRP is installed)
Alright, first, I should point out that I'm not a developer, I've never worked with adb and so on. I'm posting here because I don't know where else to post.
So, I'm trying to install Tekken mobile on my phone (Galaxy S8 Exynos version, Android 7.0, rooted with Magisk and I also have TWRP). When I search the game in the Google Play store app, it doesn't show up. I have to search the play store in the browser and open it in the Play Store from there. If I press install it downloads normally, but when it gets to the installing phase, it gives me an error 910. If I try to sideload it, the apk installer fails to install it and says that the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name. But the game isn't already installed on my phone. The whole story is: I actually had the game installed and needed to update it, but the update would fail (Google Play Store error 910), so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it, error 910 again, I tried to sideload it and the packages are in conflict for some reason, even though the game isn't installed. Can anyone help me fix this?
