The Google Play “DF‑DFERH‑01” error is a fairly common problem. It means there’s an issue retrieving information from Google’s servers — often caused by cached data, account sync, or app / system misconfiguration.
Here are some fixes you can try. Let me know your Android version / device make if you want instructions specific to your phone.
✅ Ways to Fix DF‑DFERH‑01
Restart the device
Turn it off, wait 20‑30 seconds, then turn it back on. A fresh start often helps clear temporary glitches.
Check internet connection
Try switching between WiFi / mobile data.
If on WiFi, reset the router or try a different network.
Avoid VPNs or proxies if active.
Clear cache & data for Play Store + related services
Go to Settings → Apps → Google Play Store → Storage → Clear Cache then Clear Data (or “Storage / Clear storage”).
Do the same for Google Play Services and, if available, Google Services Framework.
Remove & re‑add your Google account
Removing the account then adding it back can help sync issues or credentials problems.
Reset app preferences
This restores default settings for all disabled / restricted system apps, which might be the cause.
Uninstall updates for Play Store
Sometimes a recent update causes compatibility problems. Uninstalling updates (reverting to factory version) may help.
Ensure date & time are correct
If your device date/time is wrong or set manually in the wrong timezone, Google servers may reject requests. Set to automatic date & time.
Update Android OS / related system apps
If your system software is outdated, bugs might be causing errors. Check for system updates. Also, update WebView or other Google‑system apps.
