I ran the new towlroot today. Installed busy box and su. Granted access to everything. I then downloaded the latest safestrap for my Verizon note 3. After download I tried to install the apk from my file explorer. It states something about describe error, trouble parsing every time. I've researched but the only person to have this issue had to do a factory reset a few times.

If you haven't already keep trying. I was getting the same error and after re-downloading 5-6 times it finally installed.
I finally got it. I had to download it to the installer instead of trying to open it uaing a file explorer.
I have
LG V20 H990DS, rooted, TWRP installed, custom kernel (as per dirtysanta post), xposed installed
Since installing xposed (might be coincidental) I can not install any app (either via Play Store or adb install. The error I get in logcat is:
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION: Failed reading classes.dex in [email protected]: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF has invalid digest for classes.dex in classes.dex]
I posted this in the n00b-friedly Q&A forum and someone suggested it was an issue with signatures, so I googled and there are ways to disable signature verification. Not sure if this is a wise thing to do, but I think i need to try. The problem is the solutions all require Lucky Patcher or some Xposed app. But I can't install any app.
So, knowing I am falling for the whole XY Problem, can anyone suggest a way of disabling signature verification (or indeed solving the actual problem) without re-flashing everything again. I am thinking of some V20-compatible flashable zip or something maybe???
In my opinion I would suggest to reflash, stay with stock kernel with Xposed. You don't want to go through all of this just to install an app when clearly something you flashed isn't working right
Right, I have been experimenting with all sorts to avoid reflashing but nothing worked so I reflashed, and... still not working.
Any other ideas?

When you mean reflashed, do you mean dirty or clean installation?

dirty. Am just preparing all the files now for a clean install which is only option left available as far as I can see. I wonder if a different kernel would help?
I have an update on this.
I did a totally clean wipe and re-root, which in itself had issues but eventually worked. All was working fine right up until I installed modded google play. Since then I get the same issue as mentioned. I uninstalled it and reverted to normal googple play but I still get the error. I guess I have sort of found the issue, and next time I won't install it.
So, any ideas on
1. Why I am getting the issue?
2. How to fix it without going through the re-root.
Thank you.

I've had the same problem installing Modded playstore. For some reason Modded playstore works on all my devices except my V20. I would suggest giving up installing it as I did. Also why would you have to reroot?

Because that is the only way I have found to be able to install any new apps. Otherwise I get errors similar to

Well I found the solution and a way of installing modded google play. Although I don't really understand the reason. As I was going to wipe the phone anyway I thought I would play around. So...
I tried to install modded google play - still same issue
From Lucky Patcher I removed patches from core.jar - suddenly I could install apps again.
I successfully installed modded google play - this needs Signature Verification True
I patched Signature Verification - modded google play works and I can install apps
So the issue was with the Lucky patcher "Disable .apk Signature Verification". When patched I got the dex error from my post. With it unpatched all works fine.
Thanks for all who helped.
does this still work? I seem to always end up with playstore not functioning correctly, shows as though the applications I purchased as not purchased; and in-app purchase emulation doesn't function?.... not sure if I'm following your instructions on removing core.jar but I tried removing it and instaling core patch to disable signiture verification through edxposed but I'm not sure???
Yes it still works fine. IAP and everything works as normal.
Lucky patcher -- Patch to Android -- Remove all patches from core.jar
Lucky Patcher -- Patch to Android -- Signature Verification status always True
Lucky Patcher -- Patch to Android -- Disable .apk signature verification
Lucky Patcher -- Patch to Android -- Disable Signature Verification in the pacvkage manager

thanks for the reply and instructions...... I managed to get lp working(emulation and all) using either corepatch or the module for magisk.... but there's still something funky that either stops stuff from installing off playstore and/or not as apk's without resigning them; will try this method and see how it does in comparison....... unrelated question, any clue if m3u's work at all or if there's a method to get them to open in music players?(not sure if user issue or device issue)
Sorry I don't use m3u so I do not know.
So good day, since fortnite is already released and i saw that our wonderful phone is compatible for the game, I had to download and install it. I went to thr galaxy store and downloaded the installer and an error occurred, same thing happened when I tried the installer from the fortnite site.
Attached herewith is a Screenshot of the problem. It keeps saying error has occurred. Can someone here help me?
Is this a custom rom problem?
i cant see an image, but it wont work on custom roms without some fiddling
So I rooted my phone following information on this site/a video guide from youtube (I dunno if I'm able to post links but I can PM if you need to see what it had me do etc) so I did a fresh root with TWRP, RMM bypass, no-verify encryption, magisk. All worked great the phone was rooted etc, I then stupidly removed google play services to try get an early date APK which caused issues so I thought a wipe with TWRP would fix the issue but the startup wizard wouldn't work, so I then removed startup wizard via TWRP got back into the phone and put the new version of play services on, yet still had issues so I got the default firmware for my model at samsmobile and put it on via odin - all worked great phone booted fine etc but some apps said a boot was detected, so I made sure to go into developer options and make sure the OEM was locked, did a wipe via the default options when holding power>bixy>up however some apps still say the phone is rooted.. I checked with a rootchecker and I pass the safety and it says no boot detected. So I dunno what the problem is? The only thing I did see was when I did the wipe this came up
"remove failed dir '/system/carrier/ATT/priv-app/AttIqi_ATT' (no such file or diectory)
e:[libfs_mgr] is_dt_compatible(): firmware info was not valid: '/proc/device-tree/firmware/android/compatible: no such file or directory"
Really dunno what to do from here.

BUMPITY BUMP BUMP, plz help my fwiend!
So background check
Unlocked bootloader through official LG website and the popular guide from this forum.
Rooted with Magisk, went smoothly.
Used Smali patcher to create a mock location module.
Flashed this with Magisk.
Now, i've been trying to install the apps from app store as well as through the .apk files i downloaded to the SD card and I get the same error message for every app. Googling this error gave me basic clear cache/data guidance and this does nothing. Have i actually screwed up my LG G6 on day one?
