[XDA Assist] DeWil000903:
Hey guys,

I have no idea, in what section to post this thing, I am new on XDA... If you know better, just move this thread pls :3

And: please excuse my english, please correct me if there are some mistakes (and there will be :D )

My data:

I have a Samsung Galaxy A5 / A500FU, this is not very popular and there are actually no working Custom-ROMs out there.

I rooted it via Odin and I flashed a custom-recovery on it (TWRP), this was also pretty hard to find but it's working...

It is running on Android Stock Lollipop 5.0.2 (No updates available, it's running on latest)

How this happened:

I used Lucky Patcher to try out some patches on Google Play Store, so I first started the "In-App Emulation patch" and selected to save a backup of the apk,

to make shure I could just restore it, if anything goes wrong. Then, I installed the individual patch for the Play Store named "Support.InApp.LVL", after nothing changed on the Play Store,

I think I patched some sort of Services from Google Play too but I remember that it threw an error, so nothing changed on that. I discovered the option of installing a modified Play Store in Lucky Patcher and I realized that this patch was not neccessary so I restored the old Play Store. Then there were the first Errors I dont quite remember it, but It should be "Google Play Services has stopped" or something like that... Also the Play Store didn't worked then, I searched some on the Internet and I found a solution, where I just have log out from my google account and reconnect then. This were the point, where my problems really started. I spent the last 24 hours on searching for any kind of solution for my problem, because I just cannot log into my account. Also the whole time error's were thrown:

"Google Services was stopped"

"com.process.google.gapps stopped"

I tried a lot of things to solve that. I tried about 30 possible solutions for the diffrent errors, here are some(In order):

- I cleared data & cache from the google apps like Play Store, Play Services and GoogleServicesFramework

- I restarted my device after every change I made

- I tried a Soft-Reset (Press Off + Volume-Down for a few seconds until it restarts)

- I tried the Play-Store Fixer

- I disabled some Google Apps and I found out that the Disabling of "GoogleServicesFramework" is solving the "com.process.google.gapps stopped"-Error so far.

- I cleared the hosts.txt and disabled any sort of VPN and my Adblocker

- I uninstalled Updates from Google-Apps, because I thought that they would update themselfes to the current supported versions and I restarted my phone a couple times.

- I uninstalled complete Google-Apps, starting at the GoogleServicesFramework, which obviously causes some problems. I downloaded some apk's from it from the Internet (googleservicesframework.apk) and moved them into /system/app and restarted every time... After that I got a very old interface on logging into my google account, the error "com.process.google.gapps stopped" still consisted. After disabling the GoogleServicesFramework again, it solved the error again, but I still can't login into my account! I tried that downloading a few times (GoogleServicesFramework, Google Play Services & Google Play Store), but nothing helped. I also installed apk's from a Gapps-Package I got, with a few more Apps(anything that could have to do with Google Login), still the same.

- I flashed some Gapps-Packages with TWRP, that brought me back the lollipop login-screen, but the errors consist.

Now:

I can't do much with my phone, I'm being spammed with thoose Errors

"Google Services was stopped"

"com.process.google.gapps stopped"

And a lot of Apps are telling me that Google Play Services have to be updated, but to update it I have to log in, and that doenst work as you know already...

I really hope anyone out there has a solution for me :(

Thanks in advance, Dennis

P.S: I really dont want to make a factory-reset, also I dont think it will solve the error...
