HTC Phone went back to Market app after backing out Play Store update

[Aldo23]

My son updated the Google Play Store app on his HTC phone running 2.3X. He didn't like the update so he backed out the update. The phone then reverted all the way back to the Market app and the Play Store app is completely gone. Does anyone know how to restore the Play Store app? The Play Store app is not an app that can be downloaded the Market or Play Store. Is there a way of forcing the phone to request an update so the Market app updates to the original version of the Play Store app? I guess the Play Store app is a part of the Android package?

I would take the time to research getting a new ROM on the phone. 2.3 is a very old version to revert back to regardless; a custom ROM would likely be better and hopefully give your son a better experience.

I was hoping to not to have to flash the ROM to fix this issue but since it is an old version it might not be a bad idea. The phone is an HTC Droid Incredible 2. Do you have any suggestions of which ROM I should use? Please point me to a web site if possible. Also, if we want to revert back to the original HTC ROM, how would we do that?

Thanks

You don't need to flash. Just look for an apk of the old play store.

I don't see the Play Store app available for download.

Where are you searching for? Try searching for it in XDA.

Is the market gone as well? If not it will (should) eventually update on it's own.

I was working on my wife's mobile and I uninstalled updates on the play store and it went back to the market from a long time ago. After 3 days or so she said it was back to play.
