Root need help with missing play store

can anyone please help.everytime i try anything play store....nothing.doesn't even force close ,just wants to go there but instantly goes back to home screen.I've tried replacing it?wiping data then replacing,new rom,and factory reseting phone,and deleting framework and nothin works.I'm outta ideas so please can anyone give me another idea to try
 
What about trying a new Google account? Or even trying an old version of google play, back to when it was Market and letting it update on its own? Im pretty sure you can find a download like that somewhere in google. I would try a p k t o p s . com, a lot of apps there ;) (OH! and goes without saying but, type that with no spaces... duh haha)

Mine isn't working either and I've also tried everything. I ran the updater, tried a lower version nothing helps. Since it's not working I can't install from the playstore web site either. The biggest PITA is that I can't use some of my paid for apps because it can't check if I really own them. I have been able to install a few things from Amazon but I really want my own playstore to work again

Hmmm, I ran the updater trying to figure out something on my phone, when I was reinstalling everything I went with vs 1.5 of #2. Previously I had vs 1.3. So when I wiped my sd card and tried again I went back to vs 1.3 because I wasn't having any problems there. Funny thing though when I ran the updater, both times it left apps on my phone and I use the TSF Shell Launcher and it left that on there. I didn't have to put my google info back into my phone. It didn't take back to completely like out of the box state. All my text messages and phone log was still there. Crapware was put back. The first time around my download was gone and it's back after the second time but my playstore still doesn't work.
