Hello,
I've tried to purchase and activate Greenify donation package but no
success so far. I get error code 291.
I have no warez/LuckyPatch or anything of that sort.
It's true that at the first try I had some subservices/subservice groups
of Google Play Services disabled, those being ads*, analytics*,
auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence*,
auth.be.recovery.AccountRecoveryBackground*, fitness*, games*, kids*,
nearby*, stats*, usagereporting*,
com.google.android.location.internal.Analytics* and
com.google.android.location.places.Playlog*
I followed the troubleshooting instructions: first tried to uninstall
and reinstall the donation package; but it did not uninstall without requesting refund. Then I re-enabled
all Google Play services/subservices and purchased again. No success in
activating. Then clear all data for Google Play Store and Google Play
Services, reboot, retry, no success, still error 291. Tried uninstall
and reinstall, this time it did not ask me for refund, but again no success.
Uninstalled, cleared all data directories for donation package,
reinstall, error 291 again.
I am out of ideas now. Is it related to the fact that the first time I
could not re-install without refund and I had to do the purchase again?
I've also noticed that in the directory
/data/data/com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro/shared_prefs, the file
com.android.vending.licensing.ServerManagedPolicy.xml there are two
strings, "lastResponse" and "retryCount" which are identical in the
characters before the "+" sign but only the first 9 characters after the
"+" sign are the same; is it a kind of verification between a local file
and a server file that fails due to 2 times purchase?
What else can I do now to make it work?
Thanks,
Florin
Solved!!
Finally the problem was solved by itself, but after a very long delay, about 8 hours. It looks like something went wrong on Google Play Store servers when it didn't want to uninstall/reinstall without refund, and then with the information update process.
Thanks for reading anyway!

No that's an instruction. I was on my phone and didn't feel like typing an extended reply.
Go to the google web site and in the search bar enter 'build.prop Reverend Kyle' (without the quotes). The first result is a 7 minute video where this person, Reverend Kyle, explains how to edit the 'build.prop' file. Build.prop is a file in Android that is read by the system at boot which often causes market compatibility issues. You shouldn't go screwing around in it, but somewhere in there exists an attribute called 'lcd pixel density' or something to that effect. The market (or gPlay, if you'd rather) will only work when certain conditions for this attribute are correct (240, I think, but I get that confused all the time). I'm in the middle of writing a 50 page report about software prototyping and usability testing or I'd go into further detail. But the good Reverend explains everything in (almost excruciating) detail. His videos are some of the best resources that there are for HP TP (that's HP Touchpad) users, who want to learn to modify their TP's. Watch the vid, repeatedly if necessary. Watch his other vids, they're all great. He's also got a forum of his own (again you can find it with Google or any other search engine), which is excellent, and an Android app, but I'm guessing you're still having problems with the Play store.
Good luck.
Let me know if you're still having problems after you try editing build.prop.
EDIT: The Rev's actually one of the more kind and helpful people around here. I'm not. I just don't have the time to walk you through a step by step. I will however point you in a direction where you might find the answer yourself.
Resolved ;-)
Thanks for a detailed answer.
I resolved the problem with gapps, started to install through ROM manager, and automaticaly, Play Store started to work, without finishing instalation of gapps, because I canceled installation and started Play Store, it has worked...
Why am I getting this "item cannot be installed in your country" / Play Store
Not sure what happened but all of a sudden, few days ago, when I tried to installa new app I got this error message. It doesn't happen when I am updating existing apps, only when installing new apps. It downloads the file, but when installation starts this message pops up. Happened with two apps so far.
And yes, I am in the U.S.
Any idea?

What ROM and kernel are you using?
Im getting the same damn error! Even with market enabler supposedly working.Anyone found a solution. care to share
FWIW a couple days ago the Play Store suffered an issue where you could not 'purchase' free apps, if you tried to install from your PC, nothing happened, if you tried to install from your device, you got the following error "Error Completing Purchase'. It was fixed after a couple hours. I wonder if the Play Store is having issues again or if it's checking devices differently now?
After Googling this, it's a known issue, I could not find any sure fire ways to fix it. The first post I found detailing it was in July 2011 on the Galaxy Tab (fix was to enable VPN) also there is this post here: http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2012/03/how-to-fix-solve-this-item-cannot-be.html
Some android apps developer use filters, most of the cases these filters use for non-USA citizens. However, its a regional restriction, there can be "Device restrictions, ROM restriction, career filters etc".
Can't post link. Its a message screen at the center of the screen showing exactly this message: "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]".
When this problem happens, the page doesn't load the images (I checked this a few times)
-When I try to view apps: for example, when I'm browsing apps with the google play app, that error appears, and when I press ok, it returns to the previous page. Trying to open any app anywhere ("people also downloaded", link from another app or webpage to google play app) causes this.
-This happens about 75% of the times. I have to try again few times, and sometimes the error doesn't appear.
-Wifi or mobile data, doesn't matter.
-Happened on my Huawei ideos x5 and still happening on my Samsung galaxy s3.
-This doesn't happen when downloading apps. It has never happened in that situation.
-Happened when I tried to do an in app purchase. Aftter putting password, it said that card not valid. With second try it worked.
-I have tried many times clearing caches/datas of google play and the framework thing, rebooting after but didn't help.
-I have cleared cache in recovery too, with no success.
-I have removed and replaced google account, didn't help. (at the same time with the 2 previous operations)
-I have installed new google play versions.
This seems to be account dependent problem. I haven't found a working solution yet.
EDIT: Plot twist: Now I ALSO get the more common problem that happens when trying to DOWNLOAD apps. "...could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])". Then I did the data/cache clears to google play and services framework, rebooted and then tried to download. "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" to NOTIFICATION bar. Then google play app froze and now when i try to download, I get the "...could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])" Message in the google play app.

same problem here - don't know...i'm googling it
---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:12 AM ----------
1) go to your phone / tablets settings & select "applications".
2) Locate "Google Service Framework", Select the "all" tab, & select clear data
3) Locate "Google Play" & select clear data
4) reboot your device.
Still not working.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp
Here's the fix...
Go into Google Play. Go to settings. Go to content filtering. Uncheck all the boxes except for 'Everything.' It may ask you to create (or enter) a password. Do it. Back out of the settings. Go back into settings. Go to content filtering. Check all boxes. Cross your fingers. Apps should now download and update.
Good luck and post your results with this post quoted in your reply if it worked for you.

I'm having the same problem as OP, and registered just so I could post this. I followed your instructions, and now I can't install anything because of filter restrictions, even though I set it to let me download everything again.

Maybe I should mention that I first followed the instructions posted in here with the framework services clear data and all. Not sure if that is part of what made mine suddenly work or not.
The problems began for me when I got the 4.3 update.
This was the little tweak I made that got me updating and downloading again. Sorry if it doesn't work for you.
Just remove you're account and sign in again

I tried this, didn't work. First cleared the things in the apps, then did what you suggested.

I am having the same problem too. This started when I updated to 4.3 on my Nexus 4 phone. Except I get an error code of "7" instead of "5" when purchasing a paid app, and a "5" when I try to download or update an app. Very frustrating!
Hi, my car has an Android infotainment system running 2.3.7 (yes, can't update that). It's rooted and I used to use an app called Market Helper to change the device identifier to access the Google Play Store. I don't know what I did, but in the recent weeks I can't access the Play Store anymore. I tried changing it back to default in Market Helper and it gives me a 'No Android ID found' error.
Trying to access Play Store will throw up an error saying 'Server Error' will pop up. I've tried clearing the Play Store cache, clearing the Google Framework cache, removing the Google Account and re-adding it, but to no avail.
As a last-ditch attempt, I removed the Play Store and the Google Framework and reinstalled them by gaining root access. Now the Google Account is removed. I tried re-adding my account but it says during the account login process that it 'Can't establish a reliable connection to the server'. I searched around and found that a common solution was to edit the etc/hosts file but that wasn't the problem. Any ideas?
Anyone? Bumping this thread.
I own an LG G6, updated to the latest firmware provided by LG (Oreo). Not rooted. Google Play continues to tell me "Can't install Snapchat" in a dialog box every time I try to install it. I have also tried installing via an APK, but that results in package manager just stating "App not installed." In either case, no error codes are shown.
I have tried to clear cache and data from package manager/installer, Google play, and Google play services.
All 3 solutions don't work. I don't want to reset my entire device for one app, and hence as a last-ditch effort am posting here.
Any solutions?
