I didn't see a thread here, but for my Huawei S7 running S7V100R001C62B113 Android 2.2.2, in order to update Android Market, these are the steps:
1) Download an updated Vending.apk from anywhere
2) Get ZipSigner2 from the market, and resign the apk into a new apk file with the 'platform key' option
3) Run the APK file with a file manager. It will ask you if you want to update the system application. After the install is complete, your market will be updated.
Google Play Store works with the Huawei S7.
v3.4.6 Google Play Store is as attached...

Thanks for this update. I'm in query if this will work with eclair as well as froyo. Please advise me for the suitable version update.
Old market app is a lot faster than the play store. But the method to restore old market for gb or cm7 ROMs DOESN'T WORKS for the ICS OR JellyBean. The apps gets downloaded in data/data/com.android.providers.download/caches but don't INSTALLS automatically.
Please provide any method to run the old android market on ICS/JB
THANKS •JB • XD/\PP

Googled b4 posting, but the problem is Apps are not being installed.
Steps that i perform:
1. Delete Google play apk, then Reboot
2. Copy the 'market.apk' & 'update.apk' to system/app, then Reboot
3. Download an app from Market.
4. But the app doesn't installs
After searching in system, the app(which gets downloaded but doesn't install) was lying there as 'download.apk' in /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
Also when the apps is downloading is notified in notification bar, but not in market. I.e there's no status of the app being downloading in market app
I tried my best for the problem to be extremely clear.

download market v2.3.6.apk
download zipsigner.apk
with the help of zip signer sign market with platform certificate
then push it to system/app

I didn't need to do all that process of zip signing.(may be it will be required in future if any problem persists )
And for the Play store issue, I freezed/disabled the update.apk
Well it won't update my apps but this resolves the issue of play store.

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm new to XDA but I've used your forums before to help me root my Coolpad and this new phone (kudos)
So I bought this phone a little over a month ago and I've been super severely disappointed in it.
I'll just start off quickly by telling you a little behind my purchase...
I needed to upgrade from the Coolpad 3G that I had been using for months with Sprint's pre-paid and I was planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy.
Well they had to run my credit and I couldn't put down the $200+ deposit they wanted for the S5. So the guy brought up this HTC Desire that was on sale for $99.99 or whatever, without and research or anything I went ahead and bought it because I desperately needed a new phone with 4G capability for my new job... the sales guy sold me on it having 8 GB internal storage (Which was a huge lie... thanks, man), 1 GB of RAM, a solid quadcore processor and a decent camera.
I immediately got home and realized that there was only barely 1 Gigabyte of free storage and I about threw a fit but I knew I needed the phone so I kept it and I took the next step, (Rooting it so I could install and run link2SD)
So I went through the long, tedious process of rooting my phone and putting TWRP, superuser, etc. on it and got my link2SD going.
The day after I finished rooting my phone these errors started popping up and telling me that I had an update I needed to install and download:
(I guess I can't post the pictures I want to post on here until I make 10 posts? so I uploaded screencaps all to this directory)
http :// skakills.com /HTC/
It made it so I can't even use my Gmail or my hangouts app on the phone (Gmail being the most important) this is seriously distressing.
also , this update pops up every few hours and I have tried to install it but it just bounces me back to the recovery TWRP screen and I can't seem to figure it out.
I work a double shift at work every day, I play in 2 bands and I've scoured the internet, forums and lost tons of sleep over this, I just want to be able to use this phone for a few more months without these issues, if anyone has any kind of idea what I can do to fix the errors and get my updates installed or if there is a better option (I'm okay with wiping / resetting since my apps and pictures are all backed up) let me know ASAP, please and thank you very much!
-Rob

Download an app killer/disabler of your choice (I use Titanium Backup but it's the paid version) after you install it look through all the apps on your phone and find this one "updater" and freeze/disable it and then reboot the updating will stop and the reason you can't install it is because the phone is no longer stock and you unlocked the bootloader.
Regarding the play store problem open internet and search for the latest version of play store and then download the version via internet by searching for the version to download like this Google Play version 5.8.8 APK Download and after downloading the APK install it and reboot into twrp and clear the dalvic cache and cache reboot and the problem should be gone.

I really appreciate the help as far as that update thing goes.
I guess I didn't explain the part with the GMail and the hangout apps.. it is only those apps that are affected, I guess I will try uninstalling the gmail and hangout apps again because I try to launch them but it gives the "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" error and then force closes.
Also every once in a while it is giving me a weird 'Google Music' error .
I will try to freeze that update thing with Titanium backup (I have the full version I got on my old phone I just haven't installed it on here yet)
Once again, thanks a lot I really appreciate the quick response and I hope to check more of the forums out soon.

Okay so I froze the 'Updater' app, rebooted and I think that it has stopped which is good.
I still am getting this Google Play Services Error every few minutes, I downloaded the Google Play .apk , installed it, rebooted into recovery and cleared the dalv and regular cache but I'm still seeing this error come up... I even tried to disable Google Play Services notifications and just accept that it won't ever go away but it is still happening. I'm still not sure of the actual cause of these errors, at least I can use GMail and Hangouts now because I just restored the factory versions.

If I were you, I'd download the entire gapps package (google apps) it's between 150 and 250MB in size and it's a zip so you can install it via recovery I'm pretty sure your problem will go away if you get the updated gapps for your phone.

Yes there is a site but no entire Google apps package is an apk it's in zip format and all you need to do is download it to your sd card and then boot into recovery and tap install then navigate to wherever you saved the download to and tap to select it for installation and after the install go back to the home page and select wipe and then on the next window select dalvic and cache then swipe the bottom to wipe them both and then reboot and you should be good to go.. Here's the package
In this package you will find the core Google system base, off-line speech files, Google Play Store, FaceUnlock, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google + | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech | Gmail | Hangouts | Maps | Street View on Google Maps | YouTube

What rom and kernel do you happen to be using? Try this too though tap settings then apps and look for the Play Store and tap into it and then force close it and then scroll down and delete the data and when it says all user accounts will be deleted or whatever just say yes and then go back to your home and reopen the Play Store and try to use it again after it logs your account back in.
Edit: Do you see Google play services in your app list? Uninstall the update if it says to uninstall update on it and then update it again then try to use stuff.

You should try pattiboi new kernel that he put up yesterday because it's pretty smooth running and my phone is much better than it was before.. Did you uninstall updates to the Play services and try to update it again?
Edit:
Do you have titanium backup? If so I need you to download this version of Google play services and install it but first use titanium backup to fully uninstall the Google play services that's on your phone.. Here's the link for the Google play services version 8.1.15 make sure you don't tap the one that says get it on Google play store because obviously you can't use the Play Store so tap the one next to it, it looks like this "d Download" after you downloaded it install it and reboot your phone...

You should try fixing your problem before going to the other kernel.
All you need to do is delete Google play services in Titanium Backup and then download the one I gave you and install and then reboot.
Like many others I don't always like the updates to some of my installed apps. Yet it is a hassle to avoid accidentally installing an unwanted update. It is so much easier to click on "update all" in Google Play instead of going through each app's update individually.
Yet I have not found a way to make an installed and purchased app safe from updating. Titanium backup's "detach from market" does not work.
May I suggest a module that would prevent an app from updating? Maybe by making its app files write only?
I think a package like that would be useful. But an easy workaround in the mean time would be to go to Google play store settings and change the automatic update to never.
I already don't allow automatic updates but it is still a nuisance to have to pick through and avoid the persistent update notifications.
I currently use Changelog Droid to accomplish this, although I'd certainly welcome a module to replace it.
Yes, that will tell me what the update changes. I'm looking for something that would "prevent" the update.
this would help me a lot as well. im sure there is a module somewhere that will detach an app from the market and it would just stop showing in the pay store updates.
I think it would help a lot of users. Titanium backup has had that feature for years but it hasn't worked for years. Every time the play store refreshes it reattaches the app.
I am not a programmer but it seems to me that if a tool made an installed app's main files "read only" any attempted update would simply fail, which would solve the problem. Wouldn't that work?
Right now, I try to avoid certain updates but if I accidentally update I use titanium backup to restore the previous backed up version. But it would be nice if it could be simpler. I don't understand why the play store insists on forcing updates.

There is some kind of workaround for this issue.
You can use Raccoon to download .apk files from the Play Store to your computer (you can also download previous app versions, search the thread for it). Afterwards, use the app ZipSigner to sign the downloaded .apk with your own key. If required, uninstall the official app version, reboot, install the newly signed .apk and reboot again. Now the update notification from Google Play Store should be gone as the app isn't signed with the same key as the official one from Play Store.
Thank you. I'll try that. Thanks for taking the time to help.

Yes, you can That's one huge advantage of the described method :good:
Google Play Store checks for the sign code, whereas Titanium Backup depends on the package name (which isn't changed during signing process).

You can select if you want to sign the .apk as .zip or as .apk file (.apk files are .zip files, just with another file type). Don't flash them via recovery. If you can't find the option to sign the .apk as .apk, just sign it as .zip and rename it to .apk afterwards.
