My Nook Color is rooted with CM10 and trying to install the amazon app store. I have allow unknown installations checked and it still won't let me install. I get it downloaded, it installs and then comes back and says X app not installed. I talked to Amazon this morning and they said the updated new versions don't support rooted devices and so I can't install it. DOES ANYONE HAVE AN OLD VERSION? I am not very techie...but no how to follow directions. Thanks!
After fixing permissions twice and rebooting 3 times...it finally let me install amazon app store! Gremlins at work me thinks!!

Strange problem I am having.
I am running Eclipse 3.0 on my Galaxy S4 (4.3) on SafeStrap 3.71 in ROM-Slot 1. I purchased Nova Prime - and tried uninstalling the launcher to install the prime, was unsuccessful and every time I attempted installation of it, the phone would reboot. I have referenced several threads and nothing allows me to uninstall the launcher. I thought this was a problem just with Nova, until...
I tried installing my paid version of Titanium Backup (cause that was a suggestion to use to uninstall the launcher) and even after uninstalling the free version, I went to install paid version, restart occurs without the installation.
Also, just tried to install my purchased version of XDA Developers, same thing. The download completes, but in the middle of installing, it reboots.
What could this be? Let me know what other information you need.
(NOTE - I just switched from my droid bionic to this S4 that I purchased from someone)
I am running 3.0 when there is a 5.1 available. Oh dear. Will flash the updated ROM and let you know.
Update: Unable to get that ROM up and running. WIFI would not turn on and network wasn't showing. Looks like I am having to learn from scratch this phone I have. Nothing going to be easy... yet...
must install module for paid apps

In order for phone not to reboot you must install xposed and the module play store disable encryption on order to stop the reboot when installing paid apps this is a issue with the ROM on GS4
Known Bugs
Safestrap users will need to use Modaco's paid app encryption module for now

So, I recently installed MIUI version 4.713 and everything is working fine. I originally installed the wrong version of gapps and I kept getting force closes so I reinstalled the rom and instead of installing gapps this time around I just use the google installer app. If you don't know what that is. It's just an app that allows you to install things like the play store. Anyways though right now I'm not able to install really anything from the play store onto my phone. Whenever I try to I either get the error "Unknown Error" or "Unknown error -24". I think it may be because I don't have gapps installed on my phone. So my question is ultimately does anyone have the correct version of gapps for my phone or the solution to these errors I'm running into? My phone is running on Android 4.42 and MIUI version 4.7.13. I also found this thread with my error http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038, but I'm not even able to install an app third party without downloading it from the play store either. If anyone could help I would greatly appreciate it.
Just bought this phone from someone off swappa. I put all my apps on it, but while doing the setup I found that the Camera app and the Essential Resources app show updates available on Google Play. However, when I try to install them, I get 505 errors for both. 150 other apps installed just fine, but I can't install these 2 essential apps. Weird thing is, I checked the most recent version of the camera app available on the play store (0.1.067) and compared it to the one on my phone and it's the same version! Yet it says update on the play store. I looked for 'essential resources" under apps on my phone and I can't even find it at all.
Is it possible that the guy who sold me the phone modified the software somehow and that's what is causing the problems I am having? I want to update the essential resources app so that more apps can use the full screen.
Lastly, I tried to enter recovery by holding the power+volume down button when I start the phone. The menu comes up and I select recovery and all I get is a "no command" error along with the android with an exclamation point. Is there another key sequence I need to press at that point to get into recovery? I'm trying to clear the cache.

Just clear cache and data on play store application and see if that resolve your problem.

Did that. No dice. Also removed my Google account and readded it. Still doesn't work. I installed the whitelist editor and used the adb commands to enable it. I hope whatever the previous owned did doesn't prevent me from receiving OTA updates.

The best suggestion with this phone is to do a factory reset, and set up the phone as new. Don't install anything from a back up or another device.
I believe I found the reason. I bought this phone off Swappa. It appears it's running a test build of the software somehow. NMI75B test-keys. I believe this is the reason the apps don't update. I have no idea why the phone updated to this build OTA, but I've seen a few other threads here and on Reddit where others have this build also.

Has nothing to do with your build

I suspect it has to do with the playstore

Respectfully, I think you're wrong. I downloaded and have updated 150+ non-system apps to this phone without issue. Only 3 system apps won't download and update without giving me 505 errors. The 3 apps are Camera, Essential Services, and Essential Resources. I believe that the test build of the firmware I am using is the culprit. All 3 are system apps. In addition, I've already tried all 505 error remedies to try and fix the problem and they don't work for these 3 apps.
I have a rooted LG Stylo 2 Plus (T-Mobile model). I recently encountered a problem where when I sideload some apks I get "App not installed. The package appears to be corrupt" and when downloading and then installing apps through the Google Play Store, I would get error 507. The apk work on other devices, and some apk will install, but there is other ones I need to install. I have tried clearing the cache of the package installer and Google play store and services. What should I do?
I have the exact same problem, same model (lgms550) running 7.0 (rooted, twrp and supersu, otherwise stock). Mine initially started when I installed xposed. When I flashed the uninstaller zip the package installer worked again (for a while...) Now every package throws "appears corrupt" and Playstore gives the 507 error. I've transferred the apps to my other phone (gs5) and they install fine so they're not bad downloads. Frankly I'm stumped and after hours of combing google for answers this is the first post that matches and oddly it's the same device. Maybe it's the ms550?
Fixed this by reflashing system from twrp.
First off, I feel it necessary to say WITHOUT THE CREW WORKING ON TWRP THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN DOZENS OF ANDROIDS BEING USED FOR SKEET SHOOTING BY MYSELF! A huge thanks. Thank God I took the time to do a quick backup with twrp before starting anything stupid. I still am unsure as to the original cause, it was only noticed after installing xposed but I've done any number of changes to this phone. If needed i can reset, make a backup, and upload for flashing in twrp for whoever wants it.
Seems like I had same or close to same with my T-Mobile Stylo 2 plus. (now unlocked on metro PCS)
A while back I had a weird issue where my default package installer would not install qpks. I downloaded another app from playstore and worked fine. I didn't pay much attention to it as I resolved the issue using a different app to install qpks.

I've traced the problem to having Mod Edit: warez installed. Seems the issue has been resolved with updates to Mod Edit: warez. The problem persisted even when using another app to install.
Hi All,
Hope someone out there can help me.
So I have a Fire HD 10 that is about 1 year old and used fire Toolbox to have Microsoft launcher as a custom launcher and also did all the usual stuff like disabling ads etc and it worked perfectly.
Yesterday I got a new Fire HD 10 Plus for my wife (the latest version) on the black Friday offer
I have tried to do the same and install Microsoft launcher on it and everytime I hit the home button on the tab it just defaults back to the stock launcher.
I also have a problem with installing google services when it gets to installing Play store I get INSTALLATION FAILURE:[INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NOT_APK}
I am also unable to disable the OTA updates in the modify system settings menu.
The only thing that has worked so far is that the ad screen has been disabled.
Any help out there would be welcome.
Thanks
Does anyone have any information on when there will be an update to fire Toolbox so it works with the latest Fire HD's?
Just got a new one yesterday and it came with 7.3.2.2 version it will not load the custom launcher and reverts back to the stock launcher also unable to disable OTA updates.

I just got my Fire 10 9th gen replacement today and it came with 7.3.2.2
Luckily, my HD 10 Plus was bought in June worked great.
Hi,
The only fix I suggest is if your fire hd is less than 1 month old return it back to amazon for a full refund and get another and make sure you connect it to fire toolbox as soon as you get it to disable ota updates.
Have the same issue here, complete wipe of data and still there is the 7.3.2.2 installed. Really creepy that it directly came with my WIFI Setting INSTALLED...

I just got a new fire hd (8-10th gen) and will do this. Thanks. Two questions. 1) I already have downloaded the toolbox. Once I connect my new Fire will the toolbox see it and activate or do I have to do something (e.g. reinstall it)? 2) Does the toolbox prevent Fire from auto installing new s/w versions? TIA

I had the same issue on my Fire HD 10 with Fire Toolbox V25.2. I reran the install by reopening TB and clicked on the Google Services option and it installed completely on Fire OS 7.3.2.2. Hopefully, this will solve your Plus install.
Hi - I need to remove everything Amazon on my tablet - disable OTA - flash it completely out of this universe. Whatever it takes I must turn this amazon tablet into an Android one. Please, has anyone got the guide for me to do this properly? I am aware of some update that disabled the feature to disable OTA in toolbox.
Thank you

Would require you find both a Custom Recovery and a Custom ROM, both suitable to tablet.
I have a Fire HD 10 (9th gen). I did a factory reset.
Using Toolbox V26.1, after I install Disney+ from Hybrid apps it is asking me to signup and pay a monthly fee.
The toolbox says it could be used without having to register.
Am I doing something incorrectly or am I not doing something I'm supposed to do?
I received my Fire 10 yesterday. When I booted it, it scared the hell out of me how they already knew everything about me. I immediately thought it was the most disgusting device I've ever purchased, because of the software, but then I used fire toolbox and thought I was in heaven, except when I opened it today, I realized that I was in hell. Amazon had reset the whole tablet but left the Google apps. I should have known it was too good to be true. I stopped rooting after marshmallow and will now have to learn it all over again.

The update is the problem. So no custom launcher as standard launcher anymore.
