Just noted this as well. The fun part is i celebrated the 4.6.1 Update with ordering* 2 used firephones for dirt-cheap in new condition - which just arrived some minutes ago.
Can tell you, that's some big "F0ck you" i got just now.
I have to add that Google Hangouts sadly is also broken.
(*=because "Hey, i can get now google apps (and hangouts) working. This phone is now _flawless_")

I don't use hangouts, hopefully the next Google services update fixes the problem
I will +1 this issue. Better than the "Play Services has stopped responding" that I was getting before the 4.6.1 upgrade, but hopefully we can find a way around it...
A maybe possible "solution" that came up to me:
While still functioning (by freshly installing gplay services and gplay market), download _all the things(tm)_ you need.
Then try to get a working gPlay services apk, dump the - now by the update broken - gPlay services and gPlay market and install the working gPlay services, but leave out the market which would try to auto-update and flip **** again.
It's just a bad workaround. But if it might work, i'm fine with it. It's not like you have to browse the gPlay market every day.
So what Google play services did you install? I use hangouts everyday so I'd gladly give up the play store for hangouts

Would you not get the "This app needs an updated version of Google play services" error eventually
I removed Google Play Store and downgraded Google Play Services back to 4.4.52. The latest Google Play Services causes many issues like battery drain and force closes on Fire OS 4.6.1.
So I installed Google Maps 6.14.4 and it works perfectly with Google Now Launcher. The launcher works perfectly, even "OK Google" commands and wallpapers work. Google Drive, Sheets, Camera, Translate all work without the latest Google Play Services. Latest versions of Google Wallet and Google+ linking don't work without latest Play Services, I'll try older versions and update this thread.

I just found an _very_ ugly hack and might post soon if it's reproductive.
Confirmed to work: Hangouts, Maps, Youtube, Chrome (Chrome doesn't depend on the play services anyway.)

Well, that's bad. I can't delete my own comments.
It's like the same procedure _you_ explained in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60279359&postcount=13 - just a bit simpler.
The thing is, it won't survive a reboot and takes time, so it's useless. The sad thing is, that you don't even have to open the gPlay store. It will update itself, without having you open it.
Edit:
To answer your question:
- Reboot the phone, as any previous attempts to "repair" do interrupt the process
- Take ES File Explorer and install Google Play Services 7.0.99, like from as you provided here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60279359&postcount=13
- install any version of gPlay store, open up a google app - the gPlay store will automatically do an update of itself and gPlay services in the background
- go to the system settings and delete the gPlay store (no time to be lazy here, timing counts)
- you should now have a somewhat broken gPlay-services app that even allows to open (having you ignore the popup) and working gApps like Youtube or Hangouts.
And as mentioned before, a reboot - forced by a crash or done manually - will force you to redo the steps above.

Yes I realized with the play store after a RebootI thought I had it fixed also, I don't know any other solution until we get an updasee services and hope that fixes it.
Oh man so I can't restart my phone or I have to do it over... Hope this gets fixed soon...

This worked! Thanks! I usually don't reboot this phone so it should be good. I had to do this twice btw, but it finally stuck.
I have a 7.0.99 gplay Services on /sdcard/.. If i have to Reboot my Phone and Services updatet, i delete Services and install 7.0.99 + force stop play Store. One Minute to Do and PlayStore is working again. And gplay Services Not updating again until next Reboot.
If im going then to the PlayStore to play Services, i can update it If i want..

Same here...
If I install the Google Play Services v7.0.99 and never reboot the Fire-Phone, the Google Play Store works flawlessly.
However, as you already said, If I have to Reboot my Fire-Phone and the Google-Play-Services "Auto" updates, I have only to delete this "NEW" 7.3.29 Google-Play Services and install 7.0.99...

this is an update on what worked for me, so far so good.
download this
apkmirror.com/wp-content/uploads/uploaded/54dd7979177e8/com.android.vending-5.2.13-80321300-minAPI9.apk
uninstall all google apps framework, services, account manager
re-install everything according to the howto for non-root.
open play store sign in, then immediately un-install the store from phone then install the new vending app that I asked you to download.
I believe when you immediately uninstall the store it stops it from upgrading, and was able to install the updated store.
Hangouts may be
Latest google play store 5.4.12 works fine with play services 7.0.99
As long as you do not use hangouts (uninstall or force stop it) the play services stays at 7.0.99 and all the other things work well.
May be someone else can try this out.
I can probably stay away from hangouts until a working version of play services arrives.
I installed the PlayStore from crackberry board. This PlayStore cant self update. I hope He cant update Services too. I tried to Reboot 3 Times and is still working. Give your more Feedback tomorrow

I guess you'll have to wait:
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!

/edit:
If you really want to install the Google Play Services, then here is the link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.gms&hl=en
I deinstalled it a week ago with a bunch of other apps, because my battery was draining really fast. I couldn't find it via the Play Store app, but was able to install it via the link above. (and deinstall it afterwards, because i don't need it )
I do have this problem that Talk was preinstalled and the "Open" button in the Play Store takes me to Talk instead of Hangouts, but i didn't need the Google Play Services app for it.
So my Gmail app started to FC today when I open it. I tap the icon and it just doesn't start. However, I still get notifications that emails are coming through and I can still delete them through the notification panel as usual.
So far, I've tried clearing data, clearing cache, wiping dalvik and cache with twrp, and also fixing permissions with twrp.
The only way it works is if I uninstall updates and revert back to the old Gmail.
If I logon to Gmail on my computer and delete new messages, the little notification badge (in Nova Launcher) reflects the changes.
It was working fine until today, not quite sure what happened.
Any ideas?
Are you using a themed gmail? If so, chances are it was resigned by the Dev... and it won't play well with the latest Google Play Services update (4.3.x). Check to see if your Google Play Services updated... if so, just roll back to v4.2.43 (uninstall updates.. then restore 4.2.43 via TiBu). You will probably have to do this again when Play Services updates again. See this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51359618

Thanks for the info!
No I'm not using a themed Gmail, just the standard. My play services are also up to date (4.3.24).
Would I benefit from clearing the play services data and cache?
Edit:
Oh wait, I think that fixed it. I reverted back to the stock version of play services (1.0.xx), opened Gmail successfully, then reinstalled 4.3 from the link in that thread. Gmail still opens post update.
Thanks for the tip, it definitely saved me a bunch of aggravation!
Update:
It was working, then an email came in. I opened the email from the notification bar and it just broke again.
Here's Google Play Services v4.2.43. ... try this one

Thank you kind sir, 4.2 seems to be working as of now. Sent myself a test email and it didn't break anything.
I guess Gmail isn't playing well with 4.3 at the moment, wonder why...

np... glad you got it working. It's odd that 4.3 Play Services breaks authentic GMail. Keep that 4.2.43 version handy as you may need it again if Play Services auto updates again to 4.3

Yup, definitely.
I wasn't even aware that play services even updated. I can't seem to find a changelog either on it.
I hope Google gets around to fixing the issue on the next release though!
Google Market. Updates cause problems on some custom themed ROM's "X stopped"
This is something I didn't know and this post has helped me fix Google Apps that stopped working.
wackydroid said:
It's not the Gmail app itself, ROM or Store version. It's Play Services.
The Gmail fix is relatively simple and works every time (so far, I, and 6 of my friends, have used it):
Settings > App Manager > All > Google Play Services
Undo all updates. It will tell you it's installing the "factory" version of it. Hit OK.
Gmail (black Rom version) will [should] work.
Then, I went into Google Play Store settings and UNchecked all auto-updates so they can't slam me into non-working updates anymore.
When you run Maps and a few other Google apps, it'll put a little alert on your Noti Bar that the app NEEDS the newer version of Services...it doesn't...they all work perfectly so ignore the warning until a new Services gets released.

The only issues I still run into is Google now and YouTube won't work with the factory services anymore. I got other apps for YouTube so that's not really an issue but I've started to like Google now lately.

Do the Google Play store work on the on a non rooted yet?
Doubtful since you need to install Xposed Framework and another apk to get Google Play to work on the FireTV.

It'll work as you just have to sideload 4 apks for Play to work but you'll see only limited number of apps. To get more out of the Play store on AFTV though, you'll need Market Helper which needs root.
Yes, you need xposed so root as well.

My bad, edited the post above.
Sorry I'm gonna post my question here and not make a new thread since it's somehow related
Since I've bought my FireTV last January, I only had to reboot it 3 times. 1st was a power fluctuation, next one was a firmware update, and last night another unfortunate power outage.
For those who use Market Helper, the spoofing resets after a reboot. And everytime it becomes a pain to spoof it again. The first too it's not too much pain (following the AFTVNews guide) but now I can't do it anymore.
I've tried every combination of Force Stop, Clear Data, Clear Cache, Market Helper 1 and 2 beta. Waiting anywhere between 10 mins to 24 hours. Nothing.
Anyone here can help who can reliably spoof their FireTV? I can't update my apps and it's a very frustrating experience in general
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if you are having the same problem, but some Firephone users that complained about the Google-Play-Services APP errors, have apparently solved this problem, just installing others versions of the 4 APPs needed to install the Google-Play-Store on the Firephone:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fir...oogle-play-t2977237/post69690639#post69690639
They has said that you need to install the following APPs in this particular order:
- Google Services Framework, 4.4.4-1227136
- Google Play Services, 10.0.84 (036-13749526)
- Google Account Manager, 4.4.4-1227136

I am currently using the above 4 APPs (latest versions), on my Two Firephones with FireOS 4.6.6.1, and on both of them the Google Play Store is working flawlessly, and I never have seen the "Google Play services has stopped" Error.
I really hope this will help you to solve your problem!
thank you, that did it.
I uninstalled the above 4 packages
reinstalled from the links.
logged back into my google account, and now good to go.
weird why the old apks stopped working after a very long time of being installed. wish they would of updated themselves.
I was having the same issues as described by others. I uninstalled the ones (all 4) I had, and I reinstalled the specific ones linked here in the instructed order -- so far, so good. Apps that quit working (refused to open, crashed...etc) are all back up and running!! So appreciate your knowledge & willingness to help!!! Thank you!!!!

AlCalavicci, Glad to hear that after re installing the 4 APPs, all is working flawlessly again!
As you already said, it is weird why the old apks don't auto update and stopped working, after a very long time of being installed, but I think that the problem is that this 4 APPs not updated themselves, because the Firephone is runing an Modified and very old Android Version.
For this reason, I and many Firephone owners, always check and download/install directly the latest versions of these 4 APPs from www.apkmirror.com, because most of the Google APPs, such as Youtube always require to have installed the latest Version of the Google Play services APP.
Although Amazon discontinued the Firephone, I still hope that they finally releases the FireOS5 that all their Amazon Fire Tablets (2015-2016) already have, and that it looks and also it is working very Smooth without lagging!
I am very happy to know that I have helped a little to solve your problem.

Thank you Thank you Thank you! Don't know how you figured out the sequence and fixes, but it seems to have solved my problems too. I'm not giving up on my Fire Phone but there's not a lot of help out there. Every few months a new version of play services comes along that fails and there's no stopping it from updating no matter what anybody says. Hopefully this fix will last a long time.
Is it always a matter of finding the correct version of these apks?
