Java, XML and all that Jazz... from Canberra, Australia
My Nexus has recently started displaying weird errors when doing automated and manual updates. Whenever it tries to update an application I get a:
SomeApp could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC: AEC:0])
The recommendations around the web covered hardcore things like re-installing/sideloading play store apps and whatnot. I tried the standard reboot story, no joy. Clearing the Play store cache in /Settings/Apps/Google Play Store/Clear Cache
Turns out there is a great discussion of the problem on the XDA developer forums.
The easy solution to the problem was just to remove my google account from /Settings/Accounts & Sync/. Then re-add it straight back. And all is now well! Thanks XDA folk!
Just thought I would write it up so that I can Google myself if I run into the problem again.
Happy Androiding!
Awesome. I called Sprint and they obviously had no idea. They wanted me to to a hard reset. I said F that!! This worked perfectly. THANKS!!!
It only started when I force Updated to FG01 last night. I think it is directly rerlated to my manual push of the update. May be a common issue with manual software updates??
hey thanks so much for that tip
It worked. Thx.
This worked for me too! thanks!

I was about to format and get a new ROM as Ive been facing this problem for the past few days until I ran into your blog…Thanks alot dude! This worked like a charm…N yeah XDA rocks!
Thanks you so much. Glen. You’re a legend
This worked for me too!
The issue occurred after I had tried to force the OTA update to 4.1.2
Thanks dude!
i too had tried to force the update for 4.1.2, by stopping google services framework and then choosing to clear data.
it forced the update to 4.1.2 but also generated the side effect described.
the suggested fix worked a treat and took less than a minute
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm for me as well!
I can’t believe that worked!
I just installed a 4.1 rom on my Evo 4G and installed the wrong GApps package (ICS instead of JB) and couldn’t get the play store to work at all. Great fix. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you!
Worked like a charm. Thank you!
But If i remove my Account, what i lost?
Contact is no problem becouse is in google account, but sms and photo?
I probably don’t thank people as much as I should, so, thanks! This worked perfectly. Nexus 7.
thanks sir, it’s work on my galaxy gio..
Didn’t work for me..i removed the account and then I got the same mistake
how do you remove the account in /Settings/Accounts & Sync/, doesn’t give me the option? trying hard reset
Definitely worked. Thanks buddy
Thank you! I hope Google shows up and gives you a salary and bonus for solving their customer service problem!
Or at the very least bump this to the top of search results to save the next person time!
Ran into this problem after trying to force a manual system update. Worked like a charm – thanks so much for posting!!!
