Answer 1

I was facing the same problem and was not able to figure out what exactly causes this problem.

But removing the whole .gradle folder (/home/$USER/.gradle in my case) and rebuilding the app fixed it.

Thank you for another trick to fixed this issue.I will try it if having same problem in future. – Polytypic

I had this issue when my system froze and I had to hard reset. Remove .gradle, rebuild, and be happy :) – Sinless

I kept removing the .gradle in my project directory but it did not help. I had to remove the .gradle in /home/$USER and it worked. Also, running ./gradlew --stacktrace helped trace the problem to /home/$USER/.gradle with the message FAILURE: Build failed with an exception... * What went wrong: Could not read cache value from '/home/$USER/.gradle/daemon/4.1/registry.bin'. – Hushhush

hello i just create new project and i got this error Cause: invalid stream header: FD14090D and there is no .gradle folder what can i do? – Kampmeier

That's won't help in most cases, it's not the root of the problem – Ginseng

Answer 2

I noticed that many users (me included) faced this issue using the 3.3 gradle version; update to 3.5 and it will be fine

Answer 3

Go to your console, run

./gradlew --stacktrace

If it says

GradleException: Could not read cache value from '[...]/.gradle/daemon/3.3/registry.bin'

go to this folder and delete the file registry.bin.lock. No need to delete the whole .gradle directory and download everything again.

thank you so much!. its helps to identify the reason of gradle failure. – Denaedenarius

Answer 4

Andrea's answer worked for me, too (i.e. upgrading gradle from 3.3 to 3.5). For the shake of completeness, I'd just like to add that you can update gradle in your Android Studio by going to:

File > Project Structure > Project

You might have to update your Android Plugin Version, too. Check the version compatibility table for more information.

In my case I had to upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2 – Extrasystole

Answer 6

Error: Gradle sync failed: Cause: invalid stream header: 005C0044, 000900D9, ... or other some of the Gradle sync failed

There is a good method for this issue. you should update the android gradle as following in three steps:

1) Download latest gradle version form link: https://gradle.org/releases/

2) Unzip the download file and copy it in address: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle

3) In the android studio, change gradle version to the latest gradle version (4.5.1 based on the unzip file, which had been named as the gradle-4.5.1) in path: File>Project structure>Project>gradle version

4) In the android studio, change the gradle home file (File>Settings>Build,Execution,Development>gradle>gradle home) to address: C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-4.5.1.

Answer 7

It's gradle version.

I've updated gradle from 4.6 to 4.10.1 on one branch. Switched to another branch without gradle update and couldn't sync it. Updating gradle to the latest version on all branches helped solved the problem.

So check which gradle version you have in gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file and try to update it to match your .gradle directory (or just update to the latest one)

E.g.

• there is a .gradle/4.10.1 directory

• gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties is pointing to the same gradle version

caches in .gradle 
caches in folder where your android studio project is located
