Can't download on wifi "appname" could not be downloaded due to an error - 403
Can't download on wifi "appname" could not be downloaded due to an error - 403
Hey Guys, so I've been having the error 403 when trying to update or install ANY apps via Wi-Fi, ones I have purchased and ones that are free. But I can download when I am connected to my phone data (vodafone AU).
I have tried restoring via nandroid backup (i think I have gapps installed, even though I am still on the stock ROM), forgetting the gmail account, and then logging back in, restarting (duh), logging back into wifi, cleared cache etc, basically all the fixes people have said.
PLEASE HELP ASAP!
P.S I am rooted and would unroot for it to work, btw would reseting the router do anything? :crying:
114 views, no replies, so that would imply its not just me with this problem?
First try and go to settings/appmanager, find play store and clear the cache.
Write back if it's not fixed.
It didn't help :-\

Actually i didn't I'll try that now
I completely removed root using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721380 guide which you install the stock EVERYTHING i guess and it still doesn't work :crying: PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I used my nandroid backup not the one supplied (it gave me md5 mismatch)
That is one of the best unroot and back to stock guides..
Can i ask were u are from. Maybe Google or your country removed access to paid apps,because your wifi is working for browsing and u are able to download free apps.
So either access to paid apps have been removed or did u log in using a different gmail account .
I did have a similar problem more than a year ago and sometimes i get the 403 error, but only for an hour or so.
Ps. I has nothing to do with root, a lot of apps can not be used without root and can bought on market.
Edit:can u buy new apps. Can u try(just one) and return the purchase immediately .to if your account is up and running.
The problem isn't root or stock, I'm on stock and I get this regularly if I start a download just as I have switched on Wifi, if it fails, i start again it works fine.

I did read thank you, and I am also talking about receiving a 403 error.
But, As I have stated, it usually only happens immediately after connecting wifi. If I click ok and try again it usually works the second time.

I'm in Australia (Perth, WA), and I cannot download free apps, or update apps for that matter.
Edit: BTW some of my router ports have been forwarded could that screw it up?

That could potentially yes.
I just recalled another time I had this problem, and it was solved by selecting a different account (because I had multiple Google accounts set up).
Do you have multiple? If so, give it a go by selecting an alternative account from within Play Store, by hitting Menu - > Accounts.

Yeah, I've tried that :\
Another way to fix it (but this is old, sgs1). Clear your play store data on the phone. Then log in to the internet Google store from the browser, download any app and try again from the play store app

It didn't work but thanks (thankyou everyone) and I think it is the forwarding ports problem or the new Google Play update
Sorry 'bout that. But port forwarding shouldn't interfere with play store. Maybe I'm wrong. Ooh well good luck anyway

I have Tmobile and it worked perfect before this. usually had full bars, etc.
after this i dont have anything.. just shows a x(0 bars.). went to apn and tried to fix it and nothing. reinstalled greyblur and nothing. did full wipe and nothing..
about 10 minutes later i got a couple facebook notifications. and saw i had 1 bar! i got excited and then it went back down to x... WTF. went to apn settings and such and it doesnt even show Tmobile network. only i can pick between 2 ATT networks. under signal settings or whatever it says im connected to ATT. I have noo clue what is going on.
Can someone help me please?? Would flashing the stock 1.83 help?? Thanks.

no, i did not. if you mean titanium back up then yes. i followed the instructions on briefmobile..
edit: how would that effect networks or whatever it did..?
wooooow.. xD i just pluged my phone into my computer while having motorola software update started and i have full bars now.. this is very weird.
I dont know if i should be happy or worried LOL
I think I'm having a similar issue. The network is working after unlocking but I can't add my Google account, so I'm locked out of the Android Market and Gmail etc..
I am getting the message "Can't establish reliable connection" when I try to add my Google account to the phone.
I have read that the only solution to this is to do a hard reset. If I have unlocked am I safe to do a hard reset?
My other thought was to re-root and restore the Titanium Backup I took before unlocking. Maybe the system settings I saved would fix it? However when I go reboot to Fastboot and try ADB shell it no longer finds my device (USB debugging is enabled and my drivers must be up to date if I rooted three days ago).
If the easiest thing to do is just hard reset I will do that I just need to know whether it is safe after unlocking. I feel like unlocking may have interfered with whatever the phone uses to communicate with servers but I have no clue if that is possible.
Edit: I was able to root again, had not realized ADB will not work from the fastboot screen. fastboot devices showed my phone. I got rooted, side loaded Titanium Backup and BusyBox. Now I am restoring my apps and settings, I will report back if the problem with signing into Google is resolved.

Titanium Backup Restore is done now but I am not out of the water yet. I have all of my applications back and in settings under Accounts I have all of my accounts listed now, but when I launch Android Market or Gmail both applications crash. I tried to add another Gmail account to the phone and when I click Next to begin logging in, I immediately get the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" screen, along with an error dialog saying Gmail has stopped unexpectedly.
I can't tell if this means I got further or am really in the same spot as before
So... can anyone answer the question of whether I am safe to do a hard reset after unlocking and rooting?

The problem I run into when using Titanium Backup, is that it restores the app and the data associated with the app, and the data caused force closes for the market (Play in my case) and other apps. Try clearing the cache for them. (From the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "App" > Clear Data)

I've honestly never tried it, but hard-reset appears to be the equivalent to wiping cache (and dalvik) and re-flashing. You might try wiping your cache and dalvik cache and flashing the ROM again. Trying a "factory" restore after modifying the factory data on your phone doesn't seem like it would work.

I did "Clear Data" for Gmail and Market (that is what it is called in my applications list, but the icon says Play).
Gmail is working again! The Market/Play app still gets to a white screen and says "Loading" with the whirly icon then goes away without any information. I see another item in the application list called Google Play Services, should I clear that data as well?

You shouldn't have to. If you're seeing a long loading screen, be patient. If it shows market in one spot and Google Play in another, it's probably trying to update.

I decided to try side-loading the Google Play Store since the market is no longer used. I got the apk from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1836057.
Now it loads but tells me Authentication is Required. Please sign in. I checked the accounts in the menu and my google account is selected, so I'm not sure what the problem is since Gmail is fine with the account now.

Where did you start in all this? Were you on a custom ROM and are now trying to get back to stock? Are you on stock and trying to unlock the bootloader or root? The direction you're going will help determine what you may or may not want to try next.

I am getting help from you in two separate posts it looks like so I will just consolidate to this thread, I apologize for posting all over the place just hoping to knock this out before the weekend is over.
I started with the official Gingerbread ROM from Motorola. I rooted, then unlocked, then rooted again.
My goal is to end up on an ICS ROM but I would like to get a good back up of the stock ROM first, so I want to knock this problem out, back it up, then flash to a custom ROM. You suggested going ahead and flashing the custom rom, I am just worried about making the problem worse by doing that.
The only problem I am noticing is that I cannot get into the Play Store, and I still get the Can't Establish Reliable connection message when trying to add a Google account. However, Gmail is working now but I can't add another account. I have connected to Wifi and I am still having the problem while connected.

If you side-loaded Google Play, try clearing any cache (App Data) for it as well. I don't know why your market/play is acting up if all you did was root > unlock > root. Assuming you have flashed CWM Recovery, you may end up having to get Google Apps (usually called gapps) and installing them as a zip to correct this. If so, here are the steps:
Get them from here or browse them all http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and get the ones you want.
Load them onto the root directory of the phone's SD Card (not the internal memory).
Reboot into Recovery
Choose the option "Install Zip from SD Card" using the volume keys and the lock button
Scroll down to gapps-gb-tegra-20110118-signed.zip (or whichever one you got if you browsed them) and hit the lock button
Scroll down to whichever one says "Yes" in the midst of all the "No"s (I think that's how they're listed)
Reboot when the install is finished. It shouldn't take more than a minute or two.

I'm going to try the Gapps install, but I am having an issue flashing CWM apparently. I follow the instructions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500 but I am still not seeing Clockwork Mod Recovery. When I reboot, hold volume down, go to Android Recovery and press up, I still see the Android/Triangle/Exclamation point icon. Press volume down and up and see a blue menu with three or 4 options but none are Install from SD, so I am guessing I'm not successfully flashing CWM.
Edit: I did not delete the system/etc/install-recovery.sh file before flashing CWM. I am trying to do that then flash again, but ES File Explorer will not let me delete the file. My super user may need to be updated, but since I can't connect to the store it won't do it on its own.
I resolved the the issue with CWM thanks to Zestar in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423&page=16
I just have to reflash every time until I decide to go for the custom rom. I installed GAPPS from CWM Recovery but I am still having the same issue with being told i need to authenticate my account.
I got a ROM backup while in CWM as well so I think at this point I will just flash a custom rom and see where that gets me. Since I got a copy of the rom I should be able to return to this point in time anyways (could be wrong though )
Thanks for your help, I will report back once I have flashed to a new ROM and see what happens.
I didn't get this done before the weekend was up but got time tonight and flashed to the TopSmarts GingerBread ROM (it is really cool to me, a first time custom rom-er). I was able to get set up on e-mail (don't have a Gmail app loaded yet) but Play Store - which I had to side load - is crashing when I try to add an account still.
I flashed the Gapps from above after flashing the new ROM but none of them showed up when the phone booted into the rom for the first time. Do I need to do something other than install from CWM?
Edit: I flashed the Gapps from TopSmarts and rebooted and was able to get Play Store running. It had a minor hiccup and repeated the sign in process a few times but now it is updating my apps. I am happy with the world again, thank you for your help.

Glad you got it working. I've never seen the TopSmarts ROM as I am also very new to the custom ROM world. I flashed CyanogenMod 7 Nightly (I didn't know Nightly versions were beta until after I flashed it), and I love it! It took me a couple of tries to get the gapps working too, but once they worked, I haven't really had a problem since.
I've searched the forum and couldn't find any thread related to my problem.
Problem:Android market says "You don't have any devices." but i have installed 100s of apps from 'Market app' on the phone,
I am logging in with same google account.
Is there any solution for my problem.? Is anyone else facing the same..
One more thing, ' Market App' on my phone, it is working very slow. i have fast internet connection (Wi-fi) even than it take 5-7 minutes for 'searching' and 'Loading'. Is it normal?
P.S. My device is new, nothing is rooted or changed. Its right out of the box as samsung build it.
I have found this, seems i am not alone.,
Any body on XDA facing same problem??
I'm not sure if this will help but have you tried going to settings- applications - manage applications - all tab- market- uninstall updates.
Might be worth a try for a start.
There no option of " Uninstall Updates" in 'all tab- market-'
Its new phone, I`m facing this problem since DAY-1,
Any expert on XDA can help me here..
Will rooting my device help? Or ROM change?

Rooting will make no difference. I'm not really sure why you are having this problem. Maybe somebody else may have some ideas.
You could try downloading the new market. Google market v3.1.3 and install that.
If you are still unable to solve the problem you could try the reset code in phone dialer *2767*3855#
This will totally reset your phone to factory settings as a last resort.
I've installed Market 3.1.3 as u said, but now, nothing is loading up in market, and after 1-2 mins it says, "Connection time up" [retry]. Internet is working fine on other apps, like stock browser or YouTube.
I uninstalled the new market app.
Back to ground ZERO.
Like I said you could try *2767*3855#
In phone dialer. However this will reset your phone and delete everything.
I know this will be useless, cos, when i just bought the device and faced the problem i did reset to factory setting by *2767*3855# , and nothing happens...
ANyway, thanks for ur help..

very annoying since I love installing apps through the market web site.
anyway we can still download and install apps directly with the market App
Is there any solution to this problem?
Hi this is something to do with google services framework.
Yesterday I have tried clearing this data related to google services framework..to get 4.0.4 update but..nothing worked and I am ended up with your issue. May be updating phone software may solve the problem.
I can't believe there is still no solution for this problem....

I just flashed a new version of a ROM (on Galaxy III) but I got the no device message from my PC. I tried to clear data for Framework services and Play store no luck. Tried this suggestion and it worked right away! Thanks!
Hello Comunity,
I flashed ICS on my SGSII like 1 or 2 weeks ago it was working great, even Android Market updated to Play Store and it was working OK.
My SGSII is International Version, not locked. It's not rooted. Bought in Dubai, got to change the Sales Code to UK (UAE was not available since it was a European ROM?) when I flashed with the ICS.
Last night (23rd March 2012) I was trying to download some free apps from Play Store App and it was displaying Error -101, for several attempts and for different apps. Keep in mind that yesterday I did not use Play Store, also the system did not update anything during the day.
Tried Clearing cache and data of Google Play/Market.
I got the screen that says Android Market is upgrading to Google Play.. blah blah blah.. press continue
But then after that now Play Store is not connecting, it says Server Error, with a Retry Button.
Tried again Clearing cache and Data... no success. Same Server Error.
Restarted the phone... no success. Same Server Error.
Tried deleting my google account and enter it again... no success... and guess what? Same Server Error.
This started approx @ 1900-2000 GMT +3. Let's see if tonight it fix by itself (but I don't think so, since the 24 hrs ban due to excess downloading from the Store is dismissed).
Any ideas how to solve this?
I was having this problems yesterday (Friday). So I cleared data on Play Store app, deleted market links with Ti. Then I rebooted & used the Market Doctor in Ti to restore those links, then rebooted again.
Decided to leave it overnight before I gave the Market another try, and I've just tried it now. No problems at all updating apps (not getting that 101 error), and apps are correctly linked to Market again; have all my apps in installed/updated (before I did that thing with Ti yesterday, Market had nothing in "installed", everything was in "All").

Excuse my ignorance, but what is Ti?
Titanium Backup Pro It has market tools which can come in handy. Not saying it will definitely fix your problem (or that it definitely fixed mine; may have been coincidence), but it might.

Any ideas how to solve this?

I had the same problem as you described since yesterday. I tried everything that you have mentioned too and still giving me server error with the retry button. Did you resolved your problem?? I'm still having the same problem as of now.

Not yet... I just downloaded Ti apk and patcher, but I will need to root my phone... I just don't want to switch to the Dark Side. I'll wait until tonight to root it, or maybe when I get home (April) since I'm overseas and I don't want to lose the only Communication Tool (My precious SGSII) that I have to contact home. Need to read a lot 'bout rooting.
As soon as it's fixed will let you now in this thread.
Yep let us know how you go with it. That way we can confirm whether what I did yesterday fixes this problem or not. Good luck
Edit to add - Almost forgot. If you do use the market tools in Ti, only use them for user apps & not system apps.

I already rooted my phone, so i used the "advance task killer" and kill all pps and somehow I got it working again. But I know this is a galaxy SII section but I just wanted to let you know my galaxy tab 10.1 still have the same issue. server error with the retry button. I used something closed to advance task killer but still didn't work. So bottom line, I still don't know how to resolve this problem. Looking forward to what you can come up with.
I have same Server Error on my both Galaxy Note and Motorola Razr.I tried everything including Factory reset but still same issue.
It seems that google needs to setp in and fix this issue.
Hi all,
I fixed problem but you need to have rooted phone and install MarketEnabler app, here is a Google Play Server Error quick FIX http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix - my blog post about it.
Its problem with some regional/provider specific markets/plays so you just need to fool it that you are from other region/provider...
Let me know if you have any problem with this fix...

OK, 24 hours past already and still the same problem.... The dark side is near.... Man... I will have to wait too much to root this phone. I think I could live without Google Play for a while... I'll do some questioning at the Rooting/Unrooting post...
Keep in touch...

Mmm, I'm using WIFI in this country. I tried two different ISP (in the same country) and the problem is still there.
By the way, when I flashed to the ICS, changed the Sales Code from UAE to UK (using the numpad with the IMEI thing)... If I do it again, is not the same thing? for example from UK to Poland somewhere in Europe (since the ICS flash is Europe)...
Thanks dude...

Been having the 'Server Error - RETRY' issues for the past 2 days and even tried manually installing the latest play store 3.5.15 with no luck.
Changed to US - Verizon using Market Enabler and all was well, was able to launch Play Store and update my applications... well all expcept Root Explorer which was giving a download failed error, but i'm sure I'll get this going shortly.

If you said you 'flashed' to ICS... you may not be too far away from rooting.
Visit ChainFire's thread to find a suitable insecure kernel, i used CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-PROPER-v5.4-CWM5.zip (post #8) and be sure to read the 1 line of instruction in post #1 - ODIN (short).

Guys, I had the same problem for 24 hours and believed me, I tried everything that has been suggested by this thread but it didn't do anything. Somehow I got everything up and running on its own. I truly believe it was a problem from the google side. So I guess, you just have to wait until they fix the server.
Cheers.
Glad that ME worked for u.
It seams that there is no Root Explorer app in US market... Not sure if its deleted from market.

bojancincur You are a genius!!!.
I did the VPN thing and it worked!!!! Right now updating AndroZip File Manager XD
Thank you.
When I read your blog, I was going to connect to my company VPN through Juniper's Network connect and share the internet connection from my laptop to the SGSII.
How to know which market my phone is connecting to?
Is it, by deault, connecting to the country assigned in the Sales Code?
But stop working once you disconnect from the VPN. I think I will change the Sales Code once I get home (since it involves a data wipe)
Play Store - Server Error
I'm Also having the same issue where in South America, Guyana with several other friends. Unable to access Android Market/Play Store since sometime last week. Its now Monday 3/26/2012 and still not able to access play store except "Server Error with retry button". Is this a problem on Google's side? If so, when will this issue be resolve. I have also tried Market Enabler but still NO LUCK!...I have Rooted Samsung Galaxy.
Please Help...Thanks with anticipation...
P.S....I have factory reset my phone and cleared data..So i need to have market working to get back some of the apps that i use..e.g. yahoo messenger, facebook, etc.

Try the VPN as suggested by bojancincur.
Go to vpnreactor dot com, create a free account and then follow the steps to configure a VPN on your phone!!! It worked for me.
Google itself proplem
I ensure that the proplem from google because my sister s2 on stock rom have the same also my two freinds mobile so cheer up your phone has no proplem
And wait the fix
If I helped you give me a thanks by the way
And thanks in advance
Ive been going through the forums for quite some time now... just recently made an account since i had a little question
I followed the steps correctly (or so im pretty sure)
I now have it all set up and everything is running great! even hit over 1900 on the quadrant score.
To get to my problem: i have no mobile internet access, data access is enabled yet i remain offline and my phone wont connect to the internet.
Also i cannot log in to facebook (even with wifi) or sync gmail whatsoever or log into gmail for that matter... when i try the google play store it asks me " you must add an account to the device to continue. do you want to add one now? i press yes and then nothing happens... i try to sync my account to the phone and it wont work either.
I have tried alot of things and searched alot of forums im hoping someone can guide me.
Thanks in advance.
I have a galaxy ace and i just flashed a custom rom (cm 7.2)
Try reflashing the rom..or simply delete the accounts u already have on ur device nd make new ones...

Try another CM7 rom....Or u cud try the CM9 rom....everything works perfect on that!(xcpt the camera)
I've had this problem on custom roms before. Depending on what the problem is there are a number of solutions.
Search the forum for these and let us know if they work:
1- Often it's a modem problem. You can just flash your region's modem trough odin. This solves call, mobile data and wifi problems if the ROM was meant for a different region (ie flashing an European ROM, since my region is Latin America and needs 850/1900 frequencys I just flash the Mexican / Brazilian modem through odin).
2- If the ROM comes with some type of add blocker, hacked host file or firewall check that its disabled the first time you access the Store, Facebook and other sync dependant apps (and make sure syncing is enabled). After that you can enable the firewall again (if possible, keep those apps as exception so they won't get blocked)
3-Make sure you got your APN settings right if mobile data is the only problem. Since it probably got erased during wipes.
Hope it helps, good luck.

Google Apps - the apps by Google that allows you to use specific system apps like Gmail or the Play Store .
Because of copyright , CM7 ROMs will not include GApps (Google Apps) .
The only way to get it is by downloading online

Are you using the same rom file to reflash or have you tried to redownload the rom? If you haven't redownloaded it, give that a try and reflash, your original file may be corrupt thus not allowing you to access google. If you re-DL and still have the same issue, try an older version of the rom or a different one to troubleshoot your problem. If you have the same issue with an older version or a different rom you know its not an issue with the rom but rather your phone.
I did not install this rom it's an update by samsung it's the official JB update

:good::good::good: I have solution for our problem Just : If you have freedom, you don't need to delete it to fix your phone,you should have a rooted phone obviously, simply download or go into file manager and go to etc/ there should be a file in there called Hosts. Delete that.
Google is now work fine , wifi icon is BLUE :angel::good::good::good:
Hi guys, I have discovered a solution
but you must have root
download root explorer
1.go to system folder
2.go to etc folder
search for hosts file, open it and delete all things related to google.
:laugh:
ok its and old thread, but maybe someone find this useful:
Enable automatic time in settings, thats all.
Any news?
I traded my HTC One to a guy and he is having this same problem. Can get cellular and data, but can't connect to google. Does this Hosts file thing work?
awesome!
