#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:

support.google.com/googleplay/

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 er, MI /Pad/. Android device name is "clover". There's a larger version called the Mi Pad 4 Plus as well.
