[Q] [ASK] Playstore not downloading anything after update to 2.18.40.12

Hi All,
I've upgrade my Zenfone 2 551ML to 2.18.40.12 few days ago, but after then I can not download any updates from playstore nor download new apps. Its just showing "downloading..." forever, and no actual download happens...
Anyone having same problem?
I've already :
1. Clear data/cache Google Play Store
2. Remove/Re-add Google Account
3. Clear data/cache Google Play Services
but still no luck...
Please help...

Did you try hardware reset?

hi, Sammaul... thanks for your reply,
hardware reset you mean factory reset?
i haven't factory reset it yet, but I already reflash it (with same update number)...
still backing up data before factory reset as the last resort...
is there any i can do before i decide to wipe all data to factory setting?

i have same problem too before uninstall google play and service......reboot...install it again...

hmmm i had somthing like this some time ago while dowloading big games like GTA and such... what i tried is canceling and then imidiatly retring the download. You could also change from network, use other wifi or your own data.
Btw is your account set up download just in wifi? because it wont download unless you are in a wifi network
Hope this helps

Well if not working try reseting the phone

I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.

Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?

Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.

Possible solution
@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.

Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.

I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.

Google app crash

Hi, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I decided to update Google Play Services on my G4 (android 6, stock rom) and since then, all Google apps (gmail, google keep, google play store,...) keep crashing.
I downloaded Google Play Services 8.7.03 on apkmirror and I chose the variant 440 (arm64 + arm, android 6.0+ and nodpi)
I can't deactivate or uninstall Google Play Services and I wish there is another option than restoring the entire phone...

Try a few different versions of Play Services?

Hi, thanks for your answer.
I've called a friend who also has a G4 (android 6) and asked him what is his version of Google Play Services. He has the 8.7.03 (variant: 440), the exact version I manually installed.
I saw on forums that I could try to delete my google accounts (which I did, but Google apps are still crashing and now I have a notification telling me I have to link the phone to a gmail account, but I can because Google Play Services crashes all the time).
I also tried to reboot, clear the app's data, uninstall all updates and reinstall the right version,... but still crashing.
I'll try one last time everything I've already tried and if it doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to reset to factory settings...

Can you just reflash the system partition and not touch user data? I think that might work.

Reflash? Do I need root for that? My phone is not rooted (but I was just wondering if there is a way to root the G4 under android 6 without touvhing the bootloader)

Update: I reset to factory settings, now I have to get everything back on the phone.
One advice: never manually install Google Play Services, I've read loads of people commenting that they had the same kind of trouble.
Even if you install the right version (the version I manually installed was the exact same than my friends')

Leave it for awhile. Had it once and it solved itself.

Looks like your Play Store is uncertified. Clear data and cache for Play Store and try hiding Play Store in Magisk then reboot. Hopefully that solves the issue.

Same thing happened to me a few days ago. Clearing cache/data didn't work. What did work was disabling the app (it uninstalls updates and reverts it back to the factory version), then re-enable and you should be good to go.
I've hidden it in Magisk but I still get uncertified; doesn't bother me though since everything seems to be working normally as far as I can tell.

You sir are a saviour! i was facing the same issue and had tried a lot of stuff like deleting cache/data of the play store, removing and adding the Google account but nothing worked. I disabled and reenabled the Play store and its perfect now (on Android P DP4)!

Playstore Not Certified - question...

Ok, so I have a newish Pixel 2 XL that has the bootloader unlocked, but completely stock Android Pie.
Is their any way to get my device Certified??, or do I have to just lock the bootloader or install magisk (which I don't want to do either)...
Things like Netflix (won't show up in Playstore) and Google Pay won't work, and I'm guessing it's because the Play Store says 'device is not certified'. I sideloaded Netflix, so it's really just Google Pay that I want to get working. So far, I have:
Disabled USB Debugging and Developer options
cleared storage, cache etc in all Play store apps and/or services
added device id to Android's Certification page @ google.com/android/uncertified
Ran the *#*#checkin#*# command
Even removed both google accounts, re-added them and then did a factory reset.

Try to clear data for the play store and see if that helps. I'm rooted with magisk, and this worked for me

Yes, try clearing playstore cache/data and reboot...

Can I ask, does anyone have their Playstore Certified without being rooted and bootloader unlocked?

Do this

It works, sometimes it takes a bit after reboot
