What's the make and model of your device?Have you cleared the cache of your device? Go to app settings fro your phone settings, select Google playstore and clear cache and app data. If all these fails and you're still unable to update your apps, do a system update.

From settings, go to 'about phone/device' and open it. One of the first options is system update, open it and select 'check for updates'. A page will come up showing the available and you go ahead and update it. Make sure you have sufficient data on your line before proceeding with the update. Try it and give us feedback

Once you've updated the phone, it's supposed to restart automatically. If it doesn't, switch off your phone and switch it back on. The updated version will install upon restart

No unroot option can fully unroot a rooted phone to be eligible for updating via OTA..

My advice is to flash your stock rom using sp flash tools then do an an OTA update to fix the downloading issue if gionee pushed it to u

Since you are getting that update error your os has been corrupted there's nothing u can do to bring ur phone back to normal I had similar experience
