Nexus Not Visible on Google Play

Hello,
I tried to force the update from ICS 4.0.4 to JB 4.1.1 by terminating and clearing the cache of the Google Services Framework Process. (Be the way, I didn't get the update.)
Right after I did that, I noticed that my device disappeared from the Google Play website, under the list of my devices.
Play Store still seems to function on the phone, though.
Does anybody know how I could have my phone back on the Play website so I can install apps by simply click install without touching the phone?
Thanks in advance for the help.

It happened the same to me.
I just did logout/login to the Play in the browser and it listed again my device.
Good luck!
Regards
Ricardo

Thank you.
I did that and it worked, but not right away. It's not the first time that this very thing happened, though.
Ciao!

Noob question about apps after installing codename android

Hey guys, after searching around a bit I learned that in order to get apps you need a file manager, which I have, but it also says I need a market. I checked the dev forum and I couldn't really find anything. I tried google, alas to no avail. My google fu isn't very strong.
This question must've been asked before and I apoligize, but I'm at a loss for where I'm supposed to go.
In a nutshell, I'm wondering how I can install apps on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running the latest Codename Android rom. Apps such as facebook, angry birds, etc.
The apps you usually access in the google play store. I tried accessing it on my computer, though when trying to download them I was told I haven't accessed the market on my google device.
Any help you can offer would be great, thank you again!

I'm no CNA expert, but there are two common ways (not counting TB restores, etc) to install apps on Android:
1. Via the play store
2. By installing an .apk file manually
Can you access the play store on you device? Are you logged in with your Google account on your device?

I can't access the play store, atleast, the play store app isn't on my device. When I try through my phone's browser play.google website tells me that I haven't accessed the market on my device. I am logged in with my google account on my device.

You need to flash GAPPS. I'm not sure if the CNA dev recommends a particular version, if not, flash the latest one.

Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus

From the OP at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414422
Gapps: http://download.androtransfer.com/AndroidUser00110001/gapps/gapps_ics_404_06042012.zip
There's instructions in the first link too. Make sure you read through the whole OP and check the following two or three posts as the OP usually posts another message for updates/changes, etc.
**Assuming you're running the Maguro. If you're on the Toro (verizon or sprint) you'll need to find that post if you need the ROM again but gapps will work with both versions.**

Thanks to all of you! I figured it out, got GAPPS, and am alot more comfortable in my understanding of my phone and cwm, etc. Thanks again!

Nice going.

[Q] Stuck and lost with Google Play Services - unable to update, please help

Symptoms
Google Play Services Error - receiving a message " An Application Requires and Update"
when trying to use "Update" , I get "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again"
when trying to "Deactivate" i get "This app is a device administrator and must be deactivated before uninstalling"
this is now affecting other apps (Google Keep, Hangouts, etc)
I talked to Google already ,cleared download manager, did factor reset twice, no avail, same issue. their recommendation is to contact Asus
Yesterday I unlocked and rooted the tablet, same issue.
Any suggestions? I downloaded "com.google.android.gms.apk" but the system does not let me install it
Thank you in advance , I am stuck for over 3 weeks

You can try going into the Google Play Services app, then force stop, clear cache and clear data. This may do it.
What you may need to do, what I've had to do, is delete the Google account off your device, then add it back. (A reboot in between couldn't hurt.) Why this happens, I don't know.

I suggest to flash a factory image, may be, there is something destroyed in the firmware ...

Just wondering....

I am not sure that I have any clever answers right now, but to clarify the problem, is this with Google Play itself not letting you update or install anything (without producing this error message) or is it a specific app that you are trying to update which is the only one resulting in this error?

It is both
a) Google Play Services require an update (which refuses to install)
b) com.google.android.keep (Google Keep) requires an update (otherwise not letting to open -" This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services"). when trying to update it takes you to the same screen for Google Play Services update which fails.
If it helps, the store shows me 4.0.34 section under "What's new" which I think is not the latest Google Play Services apk
Thank you

tried both...

I tried both (multiple times), as installed by Google Support and forums
a) removal of all accounts
b) reset to factory image.
c) force stop, cache/data clear
same issues
any other thoughts guys? is custom ROM by only answer?
if it helps, this is an LTE tablet

How about this?

I tried that too.. with noresults - may be not doing it right.
Used Wugs Nexus Root Toolkit (which I find to be excellent along with instructions) and tried to use ES file explorer to manually copy/load apk - no success.
thank you for trying to help

At this point I'd make backups and flash a new ROM (stock or custom LTE). Something's been corrupted that isn't easily fixable, and you'll save time in the end by starting over from scratch.

I would agree that it sounds very much like something is corrupt in the ROM that you currently have; I would have a browse through the appropriate forums and find a new flavour of ROM to flash onto your device.
I have also heard great things about Wug's toolkit but have yet to use it myself.... about all I *need* to change on my N7 right now is root so that I can install a few choice apps that would not run otherwise, but don't want to wipe everything just for the sake of it

removed google+ from my account, solved.

for all its worth, I solved it by reflushing factory image and removing google plus entry from my google account. no issues now. thanks to all who helped!

If that is what worked, I am glad you have a working solution I can't take any credit for suggesting what you had probably tried anyway.....

From where did you buy it? Does your phone have other google apps like gmail, g+, google maps etc?
You can download the latest playstore (Version 5.4.12) from the attachment provided below..Transfer it to the phone and enable unknown sources...Install apk normally..
The apk/file provided by @a76vna is google installer...It will help you download all the apps made by google (Only google apps ; No third party apps can be downloaded from it)\
Please tell us how did it brick..Is it stuck on bootloop??...You can revive the phone by downloading and flashing the stock rom from official Asus website...

Sorry for the short post.
The phone was stuck in a boot loop. It would show the ASUS logo, then the spinning wheel.
Turns out the problem was that I was trying to flash the .11 version of the pre root image instead of the .13
Flashing the .13 version fixed the boot loop and also installed all the google apps! So both problems are solved now.

I was able to install all the gapps using this method.
I found the google installer for the miui and than it worked flawlessly.

Any changes you know where I can get the correct Google Play Services for the zenfone 2? I tried all sorts different version and nothing works. Every time I install it I just keep getting the message "Unfortunately google play store has stopped". I tried all sorts of different things to get it to work but its still not working. Right now I have it uninstalled by factory data resetting the phone. I downloaded the attachment you had and every time I open it it just close back and no errors. If anyone has any suggestions for me would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Will do. Some of you might already know this trick but ill tell you what I did. You need to uninstall google play store and google play services I could not do it from the phones options so I had to factory data reset my phone. To do so go to settings > Backup & reset > Factory data reset Note : This will erase all your data on your phone. I did not back up my data or turn on any of the options in the backup & reset. Ones you are done with the factory data reset check if you any google apps installed on the phone. If you do then try to find a way to uninstall them I don't know how. If you don't have them installed then go to settings > security > tun on unknown sources. Then go to your browser on the phone and go to m.app.mi.com then click on the green button at the top right hand side it will start downing Xiaomi market. When you have the app installed on to your phone open it and search google. You should get a button that says "search other markets" if you do click it. You need to find the right now I can't post pics so do a search for Xiaomi google installer in google images and you see it . This should install google installer, ones its done installing open google installer and install google play store you should know and see the icon for it. You will get a prompt saying install google services framework click ok. Then you should see "Google Services Framework" ,"Google Account Manager" , and two different google play icons. On the bottom there is a install all button click it. You will get another prompt just click continue and just keep hitting next and install ones you get prompted. That it you should have everything working now hope that helps.
PS: I know this is a long away to do it. You can just download for the 4 apps and transferring them to your phone internal drive and installing them. You could do that but that's not what I did.
