Question Verizon s21fe flashed to unlocked fw gp system update crash - Samsung Galaxy S21 FE

I flashed my Verizon s21 fe to the unlocked firmware and by default had the Google play system update from Sept 2021. Everytime after I try to update it after rebooting I see it's on may 2022 but then the phone crashes, says I have Sept 2021, I update rinse and repeat. I've tried downloading the update from apkmirror and still have this problem. Safe mode, using another Google account, and erasing the app cache doesn't help either. Does anyone know what to do i'd appreciate any help.

Can't install Google Apps on my Verizon Pixel XL

I just got Pixel XL few days ago with Feb, 2019 Security Patch. And I neither couldn't update my phone via OTA nor install any apps on Google Play. Then I have HARD WIPED my phone by using STOCK RECOVERY, and it did work. But I was still stuck in Feb, 2019 Security Patch!!!
Then I have patched FACTORY IMAGE of XL "9.0.0 (PQ2A.190405.003, Apr 2019)". And yes, I finally got the lastest security patch but the same issue was back. I CAN'T UPDATE MY APPS ON GOOGLE PLAY, AGAIN!
I tried to solve this problem by installing PixelDust thru TWRP, but can't get rid of this...
Please help!!!
I did try to do all the possible tricks with Google Play and Google Play Services... But I didn't work out

Bootloop after OTA google play services, need help!

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?

Google Play system update

Anyone have the Google Play system update on Dec. 2020 on their 5G?
I've been able to get the update, install and reboot. However, after reboot the phone reboots itself again after a minute or so and reverts back to the Oct. 2020 update.
Anyone else?
No one?
January update doesn't stick either..
I have this issue also. Mine will update but revert back to the Feb 2020 version after about 1-2 minutes.

Thanks for the response.
It had been working fine for me until the latest system update (NA v.8.11).
In any case, I've been able to overcome it by sideloading the .apk(s). I installed the Dec. 2020 .apk and then tried to auto update to Jan. 2021 - same issue, but it would revert back to the Dec. 2020 update instead. Sideloaded the Jan. 2021 update as well and all is fine - now to see what happens when the Feb. update releases (or if we get a system update before then).
If you want to sideloaded the .apk as well, check this XDA thread. (although this .apk might only be changing the date displayed. ).

Good info, Thank you. I'll side load if the next update doesn't resolve it or we go into March without an update.
Just for reference, my RM5G was purchased as a new EU model. I let it go thru 2/3 EU updates until it was ready for EU V714(Latest) and then downloaded and flashed it to NA V811(Latest) instead. Since I updated with a clean device, no setup or account sign-ins until V811, looks the the Google play system version never updated past that initial shipped version (Feb 2020) and as you said V811 probably broke it.

I don't know if the Google Play system update is included as part of the rom - from your experience, it doesn't sound like it.
I unzipped the .apk and didn't see any significant content in it - I think it is only updating the date displayed without providing any of the actual update content. Furthermore, it can't be uninstalled or rolled back, so I no longer recommend using it.
Wait and see for now for me...
My RM 5G did update today to the January 1st 2021 version and has yet to reboot or default back. Maybe they got it sorted.

Good to hear - did you get/install the latest rom update first (v.8.12 or v.7.15)?

No update yet, I am still on v8.11
Okay, my phone updated to v8.12. After the SW update it reverted back to the February 2020 Play System version within about 5min. I manually updated to January 2021 version after about 4hrs and it has stayed for >24hrs.
We'll see how it goes.
Mine updated and rolled back aswell
Mine is currently stuck on always wanting to restart after checking for updates - even after restarting.
It had updated to the Feb. 2021 patch, but again rebooted on its own and reverted back to Jan. 2021... Since then stuck on the restart prompt.
Mine is also not consistent. It'll stay updated on Feb 2021 version for random day(s) up to a ~week and then just reboot and revert back to Feb 2020 version. I am tracking app updates to see if something triggers it.
Just got a Play Store update (tap on the version number in the Play Store settings) and was able to download/install the Feb. 2021 update and reboot. Rebooted again for good measure and sticking so far...
The Aug. 2021 update seems to have stuck on my phone now after being stuck on April 2021 - no double boot either on a reboot.

Question Google Play System Update

Just set up a NA Red Magic 6 - seems to have a similar issue the RM5G has with Google Play System Updates under the security settings - it won't update past Oct. 2020.
It'll download the update and prompt to reboot. Looks like it reboots twice and is back on the Oct. 2020 update instead.
Anyone else?
The same issue. Rmg6
Do you mean the google play store version? mine is ok everything update.

No - under settings > security you'll see Google Play system update. This is updated monthly (current update is April 2021) - the RM6 is on Oct. 2020 and attempts to update it fail as described.
Ok. Same cant update. still stick to oct 2020.
Just like my RM5G, my spouse's RM6 finally got the Aug. 2021 update to stick. No double boot on a reboot either. Hope this continues with the Sept. update once it's pushed out.
Suggests this is a Google issue (signing/verification perhaps?)
Having this issue with my RM6S Pro. Stuck at October 2020. Should I be concerned?

General Play-systemupdate 20220106

Just received an update to Security Hub via Playstore and a tad later a Play-systemupdate (3.9 MB).
After reboot, the Play-systemupdate date still shows December 1, 2021.
However, I noticed that the following package was updated:
Code:
BEFORE UPDATE:
com.google.android.modulemetadata 2021-12-01S+ (311234004)
AFTER UPDATE:
com.google.android.modulemetadata 2021-12-01S+ (311235004)
Just checked and I got the same.
My security patch still shows October, it use to say december
Edit: now that I checked again it's on to November now, weird
Mine shows the update is November.
Mine says Nov

There were some reports of people (when the December play systemupdate was released) that updated (manual push), but the version didn't change (stayed on November). It was unclear back then if people "succesfully" upgraded, meaning it was just a display error, or if the update process failed for no error reason given.
So it might very well be that you are already on the December update.
Installes the first smaller one and got offered a larger second one (~50mb IIRC). After abother reboot, Google Play system Update sais Dec 1st 2021.
any ramifications of this? I saw the update in the playstore too
I have a security update of Dec. 5th and Play System update of Nov. 1st. I've also tried several times to update again.
I just checked my Playstore Systemupdate.
I was on December 1 patch - when I clicked on it, I was told a restart was needed to install the most recent update. Now I installed that update, and I am still on December 1. Odd.
Ever since I accidentally factory reset a few weeks back, I've been on the November Play System update, and still am with no updates available. Running on the December stock rooted firmware on the factory unlocked P6P.
Seems as if Google is rolling out the December update to those who were stuck on October. May be related to that in some way. I have been on December and got and update yesterday that put me on, well, December . I wonder if sometimes they just update a module or two without updating to a full new month because this happens often it seems to many people.
