Play store error code: 0, certain apps refuse to install

I recently acquired a 2013 Moto X 1058 (AT&T Variant) and I've unlocked the bootloader with Sunshine, I've flashed Lineage OS 13 and Open Gapps but certain apps (facebook, snapchat, facebook messenger, google chrome) among apps will not download, instead immedietly throw the error "cannot install Facebook, try again later if the problem persists get troubleshooting help error code:0" and it does it for most apps. Few apps install, like Firefox, Kik, Android Messages but I cannot get this fixed, I've tried multiple gapps, redownloaded gapps, flashed different roms and i can't get it working.
EDIT: the unofficial TWRP 3 is poorly built and doesnt set permissions correctly, I had to use the terminal and do this
chown -R media_rw:media_rw /data/media/
find /data/media/ -type d -exec chmod 775 {} ';'
find /data/media/ -type f -exec chmod 664 {} ';'
Just download it from TWRP themselves.

go seting -->goole play store --> give all permission

I was not able to put in those commands into terminator emulator, kept saying access denied. Any ideas on how to get access or whatever?
I am suffering the same exact problem. I've tried clearing app cache, removing account, wiping cache in TWRP and so on. Nothing is working. I'm not even able to restore the apps via TiBu. Unfortunately it doesn't appear many ppl suffer from error code: 0

hi, after trying your method, I still cant DL using playstore, tried via adb and twrp terminal

I have error code 0 too
I have a Huawei MediaPad 7 youth and some days ago I noticed Google Play Store was uninstalled. I have my tablet rooted, and prior to this everything was fine. I reinstalled Google Play via an APK file on Lucky Patcher's official page (there's the modded Play Store and the original Play Store APKs, I installed the original cause the modded one couldn't install), and I tried to use Lucky Patcher to make it a system app again, but it said it couldn't cause there was few space on /system/app (I have no idea where this folder is, I looked everywhere with my native Android file manager but I can't find it) and told me to free some space on there. So I decided to let Google Play as an user app, but be careful not to uninstall again. Today I opened Play Store for first time since reinstallation, and tried to install two different VPNs, but they both gave me error code 0. Please help me!

It worked on my HTC One M7 Sense 7 Viper 9.0.0 ROM after getting code 0 for multiple apps! Never had this issue before.
Thank you, OP.
I repeat, OP is not telling you to put in random Linux commands. This method actually works! (for me)

You can install terminal apps and from there give root access and execute above cmd.

Yalp Store FTW
Having the same issue I found, downloaded and installed Yalp Store From F-Droid. It finally let me donwload and install/update apps without needing to access play store directly.

I know some might've solved their issues already, but for those who are on CM/LineageOS and need to gain root access, remember that you can enable root in the developer settings... For Lineage 14.1 I'd google, as there are a few steps before that I think.
Hope it helps someone

I have the same error on my One M7 with Viper 9.0.0 ROM. And I can't fix it. Please help me. Explain how you fixed it. Thanks, bro.

I'm getting the same error.. Ive tried flashing other versions of TWRP and Roms. No clean flash will correct it. What is the deal with this?

I fixed this error. Follow this instruction: android-fix.com/google-play-problems/51-error-code-0.html

Help me diagnose "Files has stopped" error

Device info:
Oneplus 3T, OOS 5.0.1 (Android 8.0), rooted with Magisk v15.3
Recently, my phone has been giving me an error message "Files has stopped " whenever I do anything that requires me to pick a file. and sometimes for no reason. Some examples include selecting a module to install in Magisk Manager, or selecting a file to attach in Gmail.
I highly doubt my root is involved, as I even reflashed the OOS 5.0.1 OTA to try to fix it. I've also tried wiping the cache of the apps File Manager, Files, and all caches in TWRP recovery.
The problem disappears if I reboot into safe mode, meaning it might be due to a rogue app. The problem also seemed to start after I used a USB OTG thumbdrive if it helps, that's the only major thing I remember doing.
Any ideas? Is there any info I can find in logcat to diagnose the problem?

Try clearing the apps' data in Settings>Apps.
Also, have you installed a theme using Substratum? If so, try disabling it for the File* apps.

Not using Substratum. I think it's safe to rule out any modifications to /system or any that require root, as the problem persisted even after I reflashed the 5.0.1 OTA.

If you're by chance using Xposed, then Scoop app might be helpful. But if not, you would have to connect your phone to PC, run logcat from there and pause when crash occurs.
With logs it will be easier to debug

Maybe do it another way - start logging in an app, make Files crash and then stop. Paste the log at pastebin.com and link it here, we will see what's wrong

Been MIA due to exams.
I was trying the adb logcat method when I realised that the problem disappeared! Weird. Maybe the app causing it update again. Anyway, thanks for the help!

All ROMs - Data connection lost

I have same problem than other User with all ROMa. Lossing data connection and I have to restart phone. Some days, two or three times in a day.
User @EnzaX describes it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/me...t/rom-resurrection-remix-5-8-5-build-t3739715
Anybody have solved it?
Best Regards.

Check network first. If it is not problem use airplane mode to refresh network.I am also using this rom past it released here. No network related issues yet.

Only works again restarting phone. Exist any mode to log what's happen?

Enable root in settings. Install xposed framework or any logcat apps(from playstore).Check log then.

I have installed Catlog. Error occurs again this morning. I have activate log, i have putted airplane mode and the problem persist. There is a lot of logs but i don't know how to export all log or search what line is interesting for this problem.
There is log labels like:
Activity-Manager, mali_winsys, PhoneStatusBar, NativeCrypto, ProviderInstaller,etc...

Is there any logcat in Xposed Framework or Play store to filter log for only catch errors with data connection. With my actual ROM, is possible that error don't sucedde every day

N960U1 and could not update software. Need help.

Hi everyone,
So straight into the problem: I got my phone around the end of November 2018, which was when the Security Patch for that month came out. After that last update, I checked manually every month to see if there was another one. But after 12/14/2018, which was the last time I was able to check for updates, the phone would keep saying that it failed to download update, and a network or server error has occurred. I desperately need help.

Boot into recovery & wipe the cache partition,reboot to system & then try again.
If that doesn't help,try using Samsung Smart Switch on your PC to update.

Sadly, none of the two options worked for me. I have also tried booting into Safe mode, but the same problem would occur again. What else can I do, other than a factory reset?

The only thing I can think of ATM is find the system apps responsible for system updates (two,I believe) wipe the cache & data ,if possible,from both,& try again.
If you are running an unadulterated version of the firmware that shipped with the phone,I'm stumped as to why you cannot update.
If you have any disabled apps perhaps enable them to rule out anything that might be causing this.

Do you have to rely on ADB to wipe the cache and data? I found the two system apps that are used for Software Update (com.sec.android.soagent , com.wssyncmldm), but I can't seem to find the command code to do that.

No,just navigate to Settings > Apps & tap on the 3-dot menu in the corner,select to view all/system apps & wipe each software update app.
If the buttons are greyed-out,then of course that can't be done.

I have just tried wiping the cache and data for the system apps, and also wipe the cache partition of the phone, yet nothing changes. I think what happened was that I accidentally disabled the two system packages for Software Update through ADB before this problem occurs, and now re-enabling them would have no effect.

You can't re-enable apps that have been disabled by ADB w/o a factory reset.
In the future, you may want to consider using one of the Package Disabling apps that are available to avoid situations like this.

If that's the case, then it wouldn't make sense that I were able to re-enable quite a lot of apps disabled by ADB. Or is this a special case where the crucial system apps that when disabled, they can't be re-enabled again?

So problem is solved: I did a factory reset, and the software update works just fine. I guess that the assumption about disabling crucial system apps caused them to not become re-enabled again must be right. Well I learned my lesson now - not to abuse ADB too much when it comes to bloatware. Thank you once again, I appreciate your help a lot.

No problem, glad to be of help.
As for the ADB Removal & re-install of apps, I 1st heard about it from this XDA article/how-to:
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/amp/
As it mentions the inability to re-install/re-enable apks, I just took their word for it & never uninstalled anything that I might need at some point.
That's why I like using package disablers, it's easily reversible without a reset.
Regardless, a factory reset isn't the end of the world, just a PITA at most.
Glad you got things going again.

Sorry to bother you again, but now I have problems with package disablers. I'm currently using a package disabler app, and it requires Device Owner App permission in order to disable bloatware apps, which can easily be done through ADB.
adb shell dpm set-device-owner com.pdp.deviceowner/.receivers.AdminReceiver
However, upon doing this, the lock screen of the phone will now show "This device is managed by your organization" at the bottom of the screen, and I don't feel comfortable about it. I have tried to uninstall the package disabler after done removing bloatware, but it wouldn't let me because the app is now a device administrator. I kind of screwed up myself after using the uninstall option inside the app, without knowing that it has completely uninstalled all the bloatware I disabled (instead of uninstalling the app itself), and caused my phone to stuck in boot loop, but I managed to fix that by another factory reset.
What kind of ADB command do I need so I can remove Device Owner App from the package disabler after I'm done disabling the bloatware?? (this is so ironic: disable a package disabler). Very sorry to disturb you again.

Glad the problem was solved. My view is that concern with bloatware is a vestige of the past. On present-day phones, I'd guess that less than 0.1% of storage, memory, processor time, or battery charge are tied up with bloatware apps. So trying to identify and disable them won't have any noticeable benefit, and may well break things.

The message is just a generic one (as used when you grant admin rights for work e-mail,for example).
What it comes down to is if you trust the package disabler app & its developer,as I don't think there is any way to revoke the permission as long as you are using it to disable any apps at all.
I may be wrong on that,but,it seems like that's what's going on here.
If this still bothers you,then the next best solution is to continue using the disabling app long enough to determine which apps you are 100% certain are not needed/wanted.
Make a list & then switch to the ADB method.
That way,you get the admin rights to the disabler app off of your phone,but,you do give up the flexibility of the app as well.
The only way I see around your predicament is gaining root access & using the disabler app w/o admin rights,or,another app such as SD Maid Pro or Titanium Backup Pro.

Question Okay, I'm stupid...

So, I was going through and removing bloat from my phone and was trying to remove the Samsung Contacts app through `adb`, but apparently I removed the wrong thing and now the Phone, Messages, and Contacts app are crashing every time I try to open them. I removed "package:/system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider/SamsungContactsProvider.apk=com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" which is apparently a core service. I'm wondering if anyone might know how I could reinstall that APK?

install this apk should solve the problem

If worse comes to worse a factory reset will.
A lot of the bloatware is useful. I prefer to use a package disabler as I can easily toggle them on or off as needed real time.

It sat for a minute trying to install and then came up with, "App not installed" and says that every time I retry.

Trying install via adb I get: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION: Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts attempting to redeclare permission android.permission.SEND_CALL_LOG_CHANGE already owned by com.android.providers.contacts]"
Hmmm, perhaps I should remove Google Contacts first...

Okay, that helped, but now I'm getting: "
Performing Streamed Install
adb: failed to install /home/mhicks/Downloads/SamsungContactsProvider.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_VERSION_DOWNGRADE]"

I thought deleting the "com.samsung.android.providers.contacts" might solve the problem, but trying gave me: "

try these commands on pc

The first command returns: "Package com.samsung.android.providers.contacts installed for user: 0", but the second command returns: "Failure [-3001: INSTALL_FAILED_REJECTED_BY_BUILDTYPE]"

If you have deleted the apk with root you just have to paste it again in the folder /system/priv-app/SamsungContactsProvider

It is somewhat complicated to recover the device without wipe in the past I had these problems, it was solved with a higher version of the application

@rtd4, I suppose it's time for a wipe... Thanks for trying to help me.

If you had made a copy of all your apps including system apks with ApkExport you could now use that copy to restore it.
Now before you factory reset make a copy of your installed apps and any system updates then save it on the PC or SD card. After the reload you won't need Playstore. It speeds things up a lot...

@blackhawk, thanks for the tip. Right now, I'm trying to set up a Telegram account so I can root my phone (US version) if I'm going to go through the trouble of wiping. Unfortunately, Telegram's SMS verification appears to be broken or at least doesn't like Mint Mobile... Fun day.

You're welcome.
You really don't need to root.
Consider the possible consequences carefully.
Package Disabler will easily block apks you don't want running.

Well, it would appear it's moot anyway since I'm at Baseband v4 and only v1 can be rooted apparently...

This is the one I use:
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
It has an interactive widget that allows you to toggle selected entries on/off. It runs even in Safe mode so be careful what you disable. I've never had to do a factory reset because of it but the potential is there.
Unfortunately it no longer disables Google play Services but will disable all carrier bloatware including OTA updates.

Then how come you have removed apk from system?
In case you have used command like

Or
If you have used
pm hide packageName then try
