Hi guys,
As the title stated I removed play services on a sm-j530f that I just rooted with magisk with intent on rolling back to 12.6.85 and I forgot to check which variant it is that I needed to install. Is there any way around this as I really don't want to hunt for the original firmware and start all over again.
I have tried wiping the phone but when I get to "checking for updates" during initialization setup it freezes I assume because there are no play services to handle the login system.
I am an idiot... I know...
Reinstalling OpenGapps
I think it is enough to reinstall opengapps. Go to opengapps.org and download the correct variant. From what I found out, the processor seems to be 64bit, so try the ARM64 variant. That should restore anything you broke.

I've tried all of the fixes I've found but nothing works.
I was running rooted stock 4.4.2 and then upgraded to 5.02. (the new UK release from SamMobile). Everything works fine, except Google Play Services. Initially I got the 492 error but cleared that. Now, no matter what I try, it just keeps popping up.
I have TWRP 2.8.7.0 recovery and I have a TWRP back-up from a month ago.
Anyone any new ideas? (apart from delete account reboot, delete cache, data, force stop Google Play Services/Store)
Please?
Pretty please?
Check your time and date.

When you get that error it usually asks you to update google services. Always does for me when I reload lollipop and fixes it every time.
Or just download from the link below.
You need to go to apps settings and check the version number of Google services. You need the last 3 numbers in brackets. Probably 436 if you're on lollipop.

I changed my Find 7 to run in unified storage mode and flashed the nameless rom. It booted and worked fine. I then flashed the official Xposed Lollypop zip and when I booted I get the "Google Partner Setup Stopped Working" error. I hit okay and it goes away. When I tried to install the Xposed APK, it said finished but said it didn't install. When I install an app fro the Play Store, I get the 504 error code. I've cleared the data and cash on both the play store and play services. I've rebooted multiple times. I did earlier try the experimental Xposed on this rom and it was stuck in a boot loop. If the rom is incompatible, I can use another rom. Not too picky with roms. It needs to support unified storage though. 2GB Isn't enough space for apps. (What was OPPO thinking?)

I'm not sure if you figured anything out by now but I had the same exact problem. I was on nameless 5.1.1 with xposed armv75. In the past week I noticed my phone was getting laggy as hell on nameless in the last few updates. Rebooted because of the black screen of death I was getting and when I got back into it I had app updates but they would never download. I doubt you're still go through that but if you are or angry one else reading this is just a stunning to not waste your best time. I tried it all all. Error 504 no matter what I did. I flashed euphoria and haven't looked back! :laugh:
I was facing the same problem and I fixed by doing a Wipe cache partition with TWRP, I don't know why but that fixed the problem.
So this has been an ongoing problem with my Lenovo P1 Vibe. Every time I perform a factory reset, the play store will not open and every 10 seconds I get "Unfortunately, google play services has stopped" over and over again, essentially rendering the phone useless. I've fixed this many times before by going onto apkmirror, figuring out the correct apk variant for my phone architecture/version of android/DPI and manually downloading and installing the correct apk, but for some reason this time, nothing seems to work.
I've flushed the cache, cleared all data, stopped the program, uninstalled updates, reinstalled updates, reset the phone, I've tried 440 variants, 240 variants, 280 variants etc of play services from various versions from 7 to 11 but just nothing seems to work. I'm this close to throwing this phone away and going to buy a Samsung. Can anybody help with this at all?
Im running Android 5.1.1 with (I believe) arm64-v8a architecture and nodpi. So I believe this means that with versions of play services before v8 I would require the 440 variant, and for versions after v8 I would need the 240 variant, correct? I've tried everything I can think of for the past two days and am completely on my last nerve with this issue now.
Thanks so much for any advice.
Have You rooted your Phone and Install The wrong gapps??
Hello guys
this monrning i had a popup of googleplay service ota installed, i opened magisk manager installed it after ota , reboot device and now im stuck on boot with the logo , I have too many important files of my job in the phone that i cannot lost, i will appreciate any help if somebody could help me fiix it without format it, i promise a donation for who will help me without format it! Thanks in advance!
you have made a Google play system update and not an ota firmware update. after the google play system update you do not need to go to the magisk manager and flash magiks in the inactive slot you can only do this after an ota firmware update. but since you did this with the google update, you switched from the active slot to the inactive slot, you have to switch to the other slot by fastboot, then the box should boot again.
I flashed twrp and flashed again the Rom and fixed it
I guess you have a custom rom?

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for posting this answer!
If anyone's reading this because you got a bootloop due to a Google Play Services update, this could be the reason why. I was soft-bricked because Google Play Services decided to push an update to the latest version even though I intentionally did not update my Pixel 3 firmware to the latest build (wanted to stay on Android 10 but update for was for 11).
If this is you, and you have an unlocked bootloader, go ahead and OTA to the latest firmware (be sure to remove the "-w" flag in the flash-all.bat file to prevent a data wipe!). The bootloop will fix and you'll be able to boot correctly. You'll have to re-flash Magisk again, but at least you'll be able to recover your files.

Hey! This was what happened to me this evening. My dad's phone suddenly bootlooped again and again. Initially, I thought that a factory reset could solve this. Did that and after reinstalling everything the same thing happened again. Found out that this only happened after I updated google play services. Is there any way I could download 'not' the latest version of google play services?
EDIT: After a factory reset I downloaded a previous version of Google Play services and the bootloop was fixed. Thought I could share this here so that others could be helped. Maybe the latest version (23 Feb 2022) was not compatible with the phone. But does anyone know any workaround so that I could download the latest version of Google Play services?
EDIT EDIT: Today, 25 Feb 2022, the phone was stuck on boot again. Found out that Google decided to force push an update to Google Play service (ver. 22.02.21). I was able to reboot the phone into lock screen and turned on airplane mode. The phone is working fine on airplane mode but as soon as I turned it off, the same thing happened again. Really frustrated with this incompatibility between the phone and Google's services.

I have the same problem here, after google play service auto-update to version 22.x, my phone bootloop. Are you have found a solution for this?
Download another Google play services apk for your android 10 or 11 or 12 from apkmirror and install

thanks for your response, but I've done it many times. I have downloaded google play ver 21.x, disabled auto-update, and disabled internet permission, but it always forces update to 22.x when I'm going to install or update some application. I'm very stuck with this incompatibility, are you have another solution?

Hello, I am with Lineage OS (19-20230130-NIGHTLY-gauguin) and for about a week Google Play has stopped working.
It opens normally but when trying to install or update it gets stuck in downloading and then goes to failed. I have enough memory space and haven't made any changes to the device other than updating Lineage OS from time to time via the built-in updater.
I have installed Aurora market and connect it to my google account but the same thing happens when I try to install or update an app: it stays downloading and then fails.
Things I've tried, without success:
- Clear cache and data from Google Play, Google Play Services and download manager.
- Uninstall updates in the Google Play app.
- Uninstall the app from Google Play by fastboot and reinstall it.
- Remove my Google account from the phone and put it back in and sync it.
Any ideas?
Could you figure out where it fails? Perhaps it's "just" the network:
I have an adblocker on my router and lately I couldn't login into several sites properly until I switched from WLAN to mobile.
Alternatively you could try
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.aurora.store/
It's like Google Play Store without the need for an account.

Thanks for your response. It shouldn't be the network because I'm able to navigate properly. Anyway, I tried both wifi and phone data with the same result. Also, it started happening just a week ago and I have been using the same connection all the time so I would discard it be network related.
Aurora I tried already and gave the same problem as Google Play.

Indeed it's weird... I thought it could be an issue like this but in my case I didn't do an upgrade to a higher LineageOS version, just normal updates.
BTW I love your username

Hang on a second, just tried my FP3 which was on 20230123 and updates working (there was one: Android Auto). Now updating to 20230130 and checking again...
Still updating...
Someone in that reddit link mentioned mindthegapps... I vaguely remembered that I was slightly annoyed/confused with the directions given in the LOS wiki:
OpenGApps vs MindTheGapps
https://wiki.lineageos.org/gapps
Finally decided to go with MindTheGapps... do you recall your choice?
Ah, it finally finished updating: Aurora is up and working (at google translate installed like a charm and works).
