Why are you getting the Google Play Store Error DF-DFERH-01 on your Android Device?

After having to sit through the troubleshooting process that went towards fixing this issue, we came to the conclusion that the following are the most important reasons due to which it is triggered in the first place.

• Date & Time Issue: In certain cases, the date and time settings that have been deployed on your device might be faulty due to which the Google Play Store application might not load properly. Therefore, we suggest that you try to set the date & time properly and check to see if that fixes the issue.
• Outdated Firmware: If the firmware installed on your device has been outdated, the DF-DFERH-01 error might get triggered because Play Store might not properly be able to work on this outdated device.
