OK, I screwed something up and now I cannot find a way to fix nor have i found anyone who has done what I have done. So here is an interesting question/challenge. First, the back story.
I never knew that the old market (before Play) could potentially authenticate you as a different user if you have multiple gmail accounts on your phone. So, one day while in the market, I was shocked to see a ton of my applications missing from the "My Aps" list. I did not notice that it was not logged in to the market with my default user account but instead another gmail account I have on the phone.
I researched a little, very little. I knoew about the market tools in titanium backup and thought I could get them back with the option that allows you to create market links for apps that were missing them. In the back of my mind, I figured if I didn't get an app from the market, it wouldn't create the link (or if the app doesn't exist in the market). Anyway, I chose the optin to create market links for all my apps in order to fix this issue.
Then I realized I was in th market with the wrong account so I changed it back to my default account and all my apps are showing up just fine.
Here is my problem: Any paid apps I side loaded from Amazon App Store and GetJar for free now have market links. The apps won't update from the market. I get an error -"Download denied because you did not purchase this app" - On my phone the app shows up in my apps list as purchased - it does not show up on my apps list when I log in to the market (now play) from a PC and look at my apps list that way.
Sooooo, I go in to titanium backup and remove the market link for all the apps giving me the market error. I check my apps in the market and the apps appear to have been removed.
Great, problem should be solved but it is not. Sometimes, later in the day or maybe a day or two later, the issue starts up again. It's as if the deleted market link is getting recreated automatically somehow.
So as far as the market/play go, there is a list on internet with google that is correct as far as the apps I actually downloaded and purchased from the market AND a completely separate list kept on my phone that seems to trump the actual list on-line stored with my account.
Does anyone know a way to manually clear out my local cache of the market/play market links for good?
I even noticed after the fact that a market link now gets created for anything I side load if the same app is available in google play.
The last thing I tried was removing all market links and slowly adding them back one app at a time (for the ones I know I got from the market) but then the old sideloaded ones start getting their links again for no apparent reason.
Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I don't want to.
Over the past few weeks (since 621 pushed to Droid Xers) I've done more factory resets and 621 sbf'ing than I ever care to do again. I lost my phone after all that and got it replaced with one from insurance that shipped to me with .605 so I just recently got root back, restored my phone with titanium backup (which seems to have restored this problem for me) got OTA rootkeeper and now I am on 621 rooted.
1. - I'm chicken. Don't want to lose root on this 621 and am afraid to factory reset it.
2. If my root is safe on 621 with a factory reset, I would have to take a full backup and use that to restore after the factory reset. This will probably end up restoring the issue again after hours of running a backup restore.
I'm a bit shell shocked over the entire 621 ordeal and am trying to find out another way to fix this issue without having to perform a factory reset and then manually installing all my apps one at a time since TTBU will probably just restore the issue again. My left eye still twitches.
I have cleared all cache as well as Davlik cache without success.
Is that the only suggestion? Is there a file I can manually edit or delete that can clear this off my phone? It is an entirely different phone than the one the issue originally popped up on. My backups seem to have preserved whatever is causing it.

EDIT: I updated titanium backup today and came across a statement in the release notes in regards to the market doctor and links. seems Google Play is taking control over these things more on the server side and less on the device side which may or may not be crippling some of the current market link functionality in TB . At least that is how I interpreted what I read. So I went through my apps and started deleting market links again for apps I know I side loaded. So far so good. I'll report back in a week if there are no further replies or issues.
EDIT2: Seems I am not getting update notifications from the market for those side loaded apps but there is more glitchiness goodness. Almost all of my apps are showing up in the market as "not installed" but they are. Thinking I may just factory reset anyway. Just don't want to lose root although I've read I won't. Still looking for another way.
Edit3 - OK, sorry but factory wipe and reset might fix the issue and I might not lose root but I won't know what went wrong. And I need to know why this phone is glitching the way it is with the market so I dug deeper. Several things I noticed while paying attention to the phone for a long time AND viewing the logs; services were restarting over and over again. I kept getting strange JVM issue showing up in the logs and a lot of warnings and errors. I reset permissions and it changed little. Check device administrators and discovered several of my rooted apps did not have their administrator rights eneabled. So i enebaled those. I also noticed my Bakup Assistant stopped working and would not accept my PIN no matter how much verizon tried to help or how much I used google. All solutions for clearing google play data/cache and sync data/cache ended with a force close of application manager. Very messed up.
The play store was missing most of my apps when viewed from the android app but everything seemes to be there when viewing the play store from a pc. very strange. Then I discovered a little gem I hadn't known about before. In the batch jobs for titanium backup there are two interesting options. On is to clear all cache from user and system apps, the other is to clear all data from user and system apps.
I ran both jobs, cache first then data. But I did not run it on all apps. I narrowed the selection down to google play store, google framework, sync manager (or something like that) and both backup assistant apps (app + client). Yes I like to keep stock rom, Then I went in to the google play store...
Many of my apps were still missing but a bunch did show up. I used Titanium backup to destroy all market links for all user apps then I used it again to recreate them. Then I went back t the googleplay store and that is where I am now.
Almost everything is showing up for an update. So I choose to update all.
The apps I side loaded are getting errors. BUT, the google play store appears to be destroying the market links for those apps because when I go back in to the play store, they are no longer listed but remain installed on my phone. I have about 30 more apps to go through but it appears all of this has fixed the issue combined with the new play store and the way it works with apps. I'll report back again in a few days once things settle down and I'm sure the issue is resolved or not.
EDIT4: I have 12 apps remaining with this issue - going to try this app and suggestions - aytchTeeTeePee://davesdroid.blogspot.com/2012/03/android-market-issue-now-fixed-for-me.html
Probably won't be back here for a few hours, I'll let ya'll know how this turns out later.
Edit5: I lost track of which threads I was responding to, thought I put this here but had to copy paste from another thread -
Well, I ran that market fixer app twice. the first time it found 47 bad market links. Most of them look like apps that are no longer available in the market for what ever reason and the rest were some side loaded apps that don't exist in the market. so I cleared all those out.
I ran it a second time and it didn't find any bad links so i had it scan all links. i manually selected the 12 apps that were side loaded and still asking for updates in the market that it won't allow me to get. After removing those 12 links with this app, i no longer seem to have the issue. all my market apps are up to date and the proper ones are showing as installed, no more invalid market links.
I don't think this app alone fixed my issue. I found a lot of issues on my phone (read entire first reply from me above with all the edits).
The last few things I did was to remove and reinstall Launcher Pro (from the market/play store) since I don't do roms and don't like default blur. My phone is now snappier than it has ever been, seriously never ran as fast as it does now.
I've been using setcpu for a while and recently started adjusting my vm heap size but both were unstable before today. finally got the fastest vm heap size figured out (40m) also. I'm due for upgrade in may but am holding on to that upgrade until (hopefully) the galaxy Note comes to Verizon as the journal or whatever. so I'm really happy to have a my phone working again and working pretty fast also. I can't tell you how many performance issues it's had over the past few weeks that all started when i did a complete app restore from titanium backup and shortly after upgraded to .621 with OTa rootkeeper. I've had this phone for 2 years (since froyo) and have taken all OTA's and pulled all the tricks to retain or regain root so my titanium backup probably had a lot of garbage in it and restoring it to a functional phone may have screwed something up.
As much as I thought I would have had to do another wipe/factory restore, i am so glad I didn't. I've learned more about An-Droid X over the past 2 months than I have in the past 2 years of using them.
Performance comparison
I originally wanted to post this here (h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232) but I haven't enough posts yet for the dev forums. After fixing my above issues and talking about how snappy my phone is, I thought I'd post some numbers that may or may not help folks understand why this was pretty exciting.
Phone properties is stock 4.5.621.MB810 rooted from .605 with OTA root keeper.
Droid X
Android 2.3.4
Running at 1GHz via SetCPU plugged in profile. Nothing disabled (not in airplane mode)

Multi-threaded - MFlops: 10.965 Time: 15.38 Normles: 3.21 Precision: inconsistent
Quadrant Standard: 1176
After much tweaking I settled on a 40m davlik heap size (stable) and I edited my build.prop minus the screen density and button light tweaks from here h-t-t-p-://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771232 and these are my new numbers.

So yeah, only a few months left with this device and it's running better than ever.
EDIT1: I forgot to mention that clearing my davlik cache and clearing the cache partition brought those 12 side loaded apps back to the market. I had to rerun the market fixer app to get rid of them again but the dev noted this in the release notes so it was to be expected.

I don't have an issue purchasing apps from the play store. That's the strange part. Only that some of my side loaded apps were appearing in the update list on the play store. Not sure that link or the info in it has much to do with my complaint but thanks for posting it. I'll save this info for future reference if need be.

hi i don't know what u're experiencing is similar to what others users and myself are experiencing but i hope my solution helps.
first try using market doctor found within titanium backup itself. it seems to work for some people.
if it doesn't, which is in many cases, including mine, got to apps > google play store > clear cache, clear data and also remove updates.
it will make up phone go back to market but dun worry, it will be automatically be updated back to play store in awhile.
viola! apps all refreshed.
hit thanks if this helps!
Nope, nada, ziltch.

Nah, that never worked nor does it still. The best success I've had at holding off this issue for days at a time is an app called Market Fixer available in the play store. It seems to work for several days, then for no reason at all, the apps are back again.
My understanding is that this is a long standing issue on google's end.
-Sin
I don't know why google play store wants to crash all of the sudden as it worked fine yesterday and I haven't done anything that would upset it.
I've checked if the app "downloads" was disabled which is was not.
I've cleared cache and all that stuff to no avail.
I've deleted my google account on the phone.
I've uninstalled play store, rebooted, downloaded the newest apk and installed it
I thought maybe it was the new 4.4.21 update that broke it but after installing an older 4.3.10 and still no fix I don't think that's the issue.
I've been doing lots and lots of reboots after several of the above mentioned tries.
I'm using a modded ROM and I'm rooted as well if that's important.
I've deleted some stuff in the root folder with X-Plorer as well but that was way before this happened, maybe two weeks ago?
I've also got SD Maid installed and am using it rather frequently, maybe it deleted something that was needed in the root folder?
BTW, in some apps, a pop up appears with something about that it's unable to communicate with android market. I don't recall I ever had that installed?
I'm at a loss here and I'm about to go crazy or something and I really want it to work.
Try installing it as system app and see if it works.
Now, you guys probably have seen a few of these threads from the past but hear me out:
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 today with this method, and it successfully rooted my phone. But when I tried launching Google Play/related apps or Gmail, and I'm on my wifi (I don't know if this is just mine, or if it will not work over any wifi, cannot test yet), I either get Server Error or No Connection. Also, notifications say that my connection is unstable despite the fact that it wasn't before root. I narrowed down the Server Error to Adblock Plus, but I get No Connection on my wifi with it disabled. It worked fine before root even with Adblock Plus, but now it's being weird after. I've tried MarketEnabler, clearing the Google Servives Framework and Google Play data/cache, unlinking my Google account, reinstalling Google Play, etc. But all to no avail. Reflashing gapps is not an option because I do not have a custom recovery because of a locked bootloader. So what else could I possibly do to fix the issue? I don't want to have to download all my apps with data because that could rack up huge charges for big apps. I also do not want to have to unroot or restore factory defaults. I haven't touched any apps (besides freezing TouchWiz Home, because I use a different launcher, and Knox Notification Manager in Ti, which shouldn't even affect Google Play or Gmail). So, yeah. That's my issue.
May be a silly question, but have you tried restarting your s4? I have gotten those errors before and a restart helped. I'm on mj7 stock rooted from old and slow and I get the wifi connection unstable when I'm close to out of range.

Every time I tried clearing a cache I have. In fact, I just rebooted as I am writing this post. Still didn't work.

That's not something that anyone has reported. I'm assuming that you've removed Adblock Plus (however, that shouldn't have any impact here.)
It's strange that the Wifi problem only happens with Gmail and Google Play.
What I'd suggest is to uninstall the Google Play updates, then reboot. That'll start you with a known good Google Play app. Then, reinstall the updates using Google Play.

I actually have had a few of the same issues and internet apps frequently freeze and crash too. I uninstalled Adblock Plus and it fixed the problem for the most part.

No, I have not removed Adblock Plus. Just turned it off when testing. Uninstalled updates for Google play, it factory-restored to 4.3.11, issue still occurs. Google Play updated, issue persists.
I just found out what the problem was. I had Adblock Plus before root, and had custom network configs. Turns out, since ABP was no longer routing the connections, certain apps couldn't connect. I got rid of the configs, and started Google Play, and BAM it connected. So, I fixed the problem.
Back when I was still using the Nexus 6P and it got the oreo update, I've noticed the notifications were broken for a lot of apps. After some research I've found out that restoring app backups via TB breaks notifications. However, there were still issues with some apps, and also the app update notifications from the play store were not working.
Before rooting my LG V30 everything was working fine, but now it's the same thing as before. Play store doesn't give update notifications, and also notifications for some crucial apps like XDA, Steam and Yahoo Mail aren't working. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it's titanium backup again (even though I didn't use it to restore any apps).
I'm currently on boombox rom, and aforementioned apps are set as an exclusion in the power saver.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have/had (currently trying out a Note8) a US998 V30, and on the original stock Nougat software, I NEVER got Play Store updates, and I occasionally wouldn't get updates for other apps. I did restore using TiB, and sometimes I found that clearing the app data and signing in again (if necessary) would help. Disable/enable notifications in the app, etc would work sometimes too.
Regarding the play store updates... it was the weirdest thing. It would say "all your apps are up to date" but show 60+ app updates below it. I cleared play store data, play services data, signed out/in again, etc... and it wasn't until I installed the Oreo update that it was fixed. That, coupled with very poor battery life made me start looking for greener pastures, which is why I'm currently using a Note8. Unfortunately, between the time of ordering a Note8 and receiving it... I put on the Oreo update, which fixed all of my gripes on the V30, so I've got 2 phones that work well, and I'm still unsure of which I want to keep. I know... #firstworldproblems

Well my play store doesn't say no updates when I open it, there's just no notification when there's an update. It has nothing to do with LG V30, like I said the same thing happened with the Nexus 6P.
Definitely don't get push notification now that I'm rooted. It's not all apps and some I will get then notification if I open the app.
It's a really annoying problem which hope can be solved.
Notification worked fine for me on Oreo before rooting.
Phone is a H933, flashed to 998 and rooted. I do have xposed installed also.

It's really a weird thing, and what's even more weird is that not everyone is experiencing it.

You're confusing Play Store updates with app push updates.
It's not just rooted phones. So don't think that.
One of my V30+ is still not rooted and neither is my wife's genuine open market LG US998 V30, and neither of those get "notifications" of Play Store updates for my apps.
I've noticed if I reboot the phones and put them on a charger, THEN the phones will update. Or I can manually say update.
But I get push updates for emails, app notifications.

I don't get a notification for the updates of the apps installed through play store, and also don't get push notifications from certain apps, if that makes it more clear.
However, it worked perfectly before I unlocked and rooted.
So the issue with notifications occured after rooting, or it has to do with specific firmware version, or magisk/titanium backup/something else is causing it, who knows.

That seems to be problem with Play Store updates, and I have that problem on two non-rooted V30/V30+ phones in my house. So it's an Oreo issue or an US998 issue, but not a "root" issue.

Well I didn't restore any apps with titanium backup. I did however restore my apps with LG's backup and restore (which worked shockingly well)
I was on Oreo H933. Everything worked fine, play store update notifications (which I'm less concerned about) and all app notifications.
Also it's not all apps that have the problem. Gmail notifications work fine. Pushbullet does not, nor does kijiji. Pushbullet's notifications will show up when you open the app. Kijiji will never show notification.
It almost seems like the notification settings in the system are set to ignore them. Or that the apps are in sort of a deep sleep, in the case of pushbullet.
Flashed to US998 and rooted. Restored apps. Now of course I have root/magisk and xposed installed so it has to be one of those things. When I get a chance I might try and disable xposed and root/magisk.
It could also be the cross flash of US988 on a H933 but that's harder to test.
I didn't see it mentioned but is it possible to go back to H933 after rooting?
EDIT: OK, so I disabled adaway and minminguard, uninstalled and then reinstalled pushbullet and notifications are now working for pushbullet. I get the feeling its to do with restoring apps but I'll keep playing.
Worked on kijiji.
Uninstalled and reinstalled kijiji (didn't change anything else. adaway and minminguard are installed still) and notifications work now.
These apps where restored from an LG backup of my H933 on Oreo on my rooted now US998.
LG 3Gs Android 5.01 Lollipop with App2SD and Kingroot. I know: it is a nightmare but I made it so and live with it. I can change it. I mean: remove App2SD however looks like this works almost OK. I use McAfee Security. I cannot update Android cause it's rooted :/
The problem: My strong suspicion is one of Google apps is broken. Don't know which one. Maybe I made it using Apps2SD 'remove broken apps' tool and removed few parts of something :/. I am not sure. The problem happened after updade of Google App but I am not sure this is the case, cause I removed upgrades and no change..
LG works quite OK until trying to log into Google account. I cannot finish it through Google services confirmation. I used to few days ago. It stops now at the last confirmation of settings. Doesn't go through it. Anyway I have my Google data available after logging in - like calendar or contacts, but after couple of minutes my phone blocks.. like trying to reload and freezes. I need to remove battery to start it cause no button works :/
I can open my Google Play Shop before crash but no update works. It starts an update but no single Byte downloaded.
Moreover: in SETTINGS..MEMORY I don't see any apps data memory use - except the free space on disk. Nowhere it's visible :/
I tried few things:
1. removed GOOGLE App updates and turned it back to factory version. No change.
2. I tried to uninstal updates of Google Play Store. I can't do it.
3 Of course I did reset the data from anything suggested: Shop, Google and Downloader..
4. My Google account on smartphone was reinstalled.
All above didn't bring any progress. :/
==============================
Pls. suggest what's wrong and how to remove/reinstall it? Thanks in advance.
OK. I uninstalled Google Play Shop updates and it helped for 2 days.. In the meantime I updated all possible apps via the factory G.Shop version. And once I tried to move few apps to SD card - the problem came back. Let me remind: I have Apps2SD but I didn't use it this time. I moved only apps to SD traditional way.
Now I try to uninstall Google Services' updates, but it's not going.. The smartphone restarts and blocks.. like above.. PLEASE HELP.
