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.

I have flashed back a stock 4.2.2 image and re-locked bootloader. Now I can't install apps from Google Store, a message pop-ups saying ''Invalid package''. I reflashed the stock image, tried rooting, fixed permissions, flashed custom ROM, deleted all listed apps from store, tried installing without WiFi connection and over 3G/H+.
I can only install apps from the Google Play Store Web Version sending them to the phone.
Has anyone know about this issue before? Please Help!!
Have you tried formatting data? Backup anything you need on your sd first. Also note you will have to reboot to recovery after formatting and adb push a new ROM over.
I had a weird problem last week and wiping data wouldn't fix it, I had to format.
My problem was almost the opposite of yours, uninstalling any app by any method rebooted my phone.

Download the Gapps 4.2.2 and flash the zip via cwm

Nevermind I'm dumb
The problem seems to be solved by changing my device model on the play store from desktop version. The weird thing is that I couldn't install apps even deleting my google account from the phone.

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

Bear with me here, tis a long and windy tale!
I'm getting a "Parse Error: there is a problem while parsing this package" whenever I try and install an apk copied to my phone.
Used to work fine until the following:
Have a Galaxy S5, SM-G900F.
Came with carrier firmware when I got it last year, flashed stocked btu, rooted with towelroot, and updated it to 4.4.2
Worked like a charm.
With EE now offering Wifi-Calling, decided to update to lollipop, and that's were **** started to go wrong.
Looked into this, and discovered that FlashFire would keep the root, and update to a newer fimware.
Using the stock btu, did it. Everything went great.
Couldn't find the wifi-calling option
Read up about it a bit more, some places said needed to clear the cache.
Did so, nope.
Tried a deodex firmware: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development/rom-t3078179
Still no luck.
Then I came across EE support forums, which said it had to be carrier firmware, to use wifi-calling.
Grabbed the latest version, Used Flashfire to flash it.
Encountered a ton of errors.
Constant "system ui has stopped working" "weather ui has stopped working" errors.
Tried clearing the cache again, no luck.
Didn't factory reset at this point, and probably where I made another mistake.
Flashed it back to ambadasii, decided to follow some instructions by clearing the davlik cache. Bad choice :crying:
Flashed twrp, forgetting that this would trip knox. :silly:
Cleared cache, cleared davlik. Still no luck.
At this point, with knox tripped, there was nothing really stopping me.
So used odin to flash the EE evr firmware to the phone.
Same "ui has stopped working" errors.
Cleared cache, reset to factory default.
All errors stopped.
And finally have the Wifi-calling option (f*cking yay )
Flashed twrp again, installed SuperSu to root it.
And now busy using Titanium backup to restore my apps and settings.
Tl:dr Wanted the new wifi-calling option on lollipop, got impatient and screwed something up during flashing.
Thanks for reading this far!
Edit: Forgot to mention.
Yes it used to install apk's from the phone and sd card perfectly fine before.
Yes usb debugging and allow unsigned apps are both on.
Apk is fine, installs on my nexus tablet fine (5.1)

Ah, try doing su first so you are running as root.

Okay.
tried with su:
pkg: whatever.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_URI]
Looking like Titanium restore hasn't worked properly either, loads of programs needing to be reinstall again.
Dunno if its connected to this problem or not.
Invalid uri means you did the path wrong, tab complete the path(volup+t i think, if not voldown+t) so you have it exactly correct, it doesnt matter if you are already in the directory containing the apk it needs the full path.
Sent from my Tw5ted SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Ah ok.
With the full path: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INVALID_APK]
Funny enough, some apk's install this way some don't.

So the error is consistently failed invalid apk? The ones that install fine on other devices?
Sent from my Tw5ted SM-G900A using Tapatalk
Did a complete wipe of the phone, dalvik, cache and phone.
Reinstalled all apps from Play store from recovery.
Restored just system and app data with Titanium backup.
Other apk's are now installing fine on this device now, just not this one.
Uninstalled and tried reinstalling the apk on the other device, and it failed.
Looked into it further, seems there's been an update to the apk recently, downloaded it and now it works!
Weird since it worked on 5.0 and 5.1 before on the tablet, but once uninstalled, got the apk parse error on that too.
Thanks for all the help Rakuu.

I'm wondering what the issue might be where one day APK files are installing correctly then the next day every attempt to install, whether through:
1) a file manager,
2) separate installer program, or
3) via each individual program's update feature,
all fail with the "there was a problem while parsing this package" error.
I used the great suggestion from Rakuu to try via the terminal (e.g. `# pm install /storage/emulated/0/Download/filename.apk`) and like magic, it works (installs successfully) with no error whatsoever.
However, no package file irrespective of source (all tested fine with archive programs and including previously successfully installed apk's) can be installed via the android interface.

No clue, usually if it errors in the visual installer it will also with command line, maybe try a factory reset? I'm not too sure, that's odd.

Turns out that the inability to install from the user interface coincides with a Cyanogenmod 13 (6.0.1) nightly upgrade. I'll either go back to a snapshot or try another nightly next week and see if that helps things along.
Thanks for your reply.
Hello,
I bought a brand new S7 Edge yesterday and today I decided to install a custom ROM because of samsung's bull****.
Downloaded a few and flashed them, but every rom had a problem on PlayStore that I wasn't able to download any apps from it.
The error was number 963 and I did everything I could to fix (deleting playstore cache, removing the sd card, rebooting and so...)
Does someone know how to fix it?
All ROMs I downloaded were Android Nougat, so I'm downloading a Marshmallow one right now, hoping I can fix it.
Thanks in advance guys!

I had a similar issue with that, it would not even open. I downloaded play store apk, Google + apk, and Google play services apk or whatever it's called. Installed the 3 apk's and voila, working again...

Thanks for the answer dude.
I tried doing that, but without success. Now when I download an app it says "Download Pending" and does nothing.
I'm flashing a Marshmallow ROM right now and will report my results.
Nope. Tried editing the hosts file also, but nothing happened. I'm really pissed off.
EDIT: I got it working (don't ask me how). Apps download fine from Play Store now. The only problem I have right now is that I can't login to Snapchat.
I tried to install Xposed and use that "Root Cloak" but when I flashed Xposed my S7 entered a bootloop.
Can someone please help me?
No one?
Try those steps:
1.Run psiphon app with hole tunnle device
2.Go Settings-application-google play store
Clear all data & force stop it.
3.Run play store...hope it works

help im having the same issue right now! How did you do it?
Playstore error 963
Close the Developer Options and it should start downloading - you can always reopen it later.
I've installed adaway from f-droid.
Now I find that it gives the message "Update available", I can download the update but it fails to install, gives message "App not installed"
And not only does this happen om my s6 lite, it also happens on my Moto g7 plus. and my wifes Moto g5s
All have magisk, on the s6 with systemless host enabled.
I've tried complete removal and reinstall, no difference.
Do any of you have the same behaviour?
Yes, same for me with Pixel 5 and Magisk. Been happening the last couple days. Everything else seems to be working fine.
Do you know if they changed the package name? This can happen if the package name is changed in the app store, but the system package name is the old one. The solution would be to uninstall the current APK on the system and then install the new version from the app store.
Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't work. However, I noticed the version in f-droid was 5.1.0 from 2 months ago, but the latest release on github was 5.2.1 and it said it fixed something with the f-droid store. So I uninstalled again, then downloaded the apk from github and installed that. Everything is working fine and no update anymore.
Thanks guys. My wife's phone was updatet today but mine refused.
Then just now, after updating f-droid it updated from f-droid where before I tried updating from within adaway.
And s6 is ok now too!
