#Android: Google Play won't install/update apps.
Or itself.
This has been ongoing for a few months now. Samsung Tab A (sm-t550), Android 5.0.2. Yes, ancient.
I've gone through Google's fucking worthless troubleshooting:

1. Rebooted.
2. Cleared memory/cache.
3. Deleted/re-applied system / Google Play account.
4. Booted to Safe Mode.
5. Removed all Play Store updates.
6. Attempted to update Play Store from stock install.
No. Fucking. Joy.
@dredmorbius If you'll consider buying a more modern tablet, I have a Xiaomi Mi Tab 4. Good performance, there are third-party ROMs available, has an SD Card slot. Unlocking was a pain in the ass because you need a compatible SIM card (it's a China-only device; mine is gray-market) and have to wait two weeks after requesting the unlock, while using it somewhat frequently; it's some kind of anti-theft misfeature.
@dredmorbius It also ships without Google Play services but they can be downloaded from a forum. As dodgy as that sounds, it worked fine as an interim measure until I got it unlocked.
