Fix for Google Play/market “Unknown error code during application install:’-24”"
This error usually comes up when you are trying to reinstall an app and it fails to install.
*Requires Root*
Go into Data/data and find the folder/file referring to that app and delete it
Also go to Data/app-lib and do the same (if it is there).
Chances are it is probably only in one location but check both. Usually what this will look like is a bunch of folders in there and the one you are having problems with will look like a file instead – regardless delete the folder/file for that app and then go to google play and it will install.
Also this will work for most TB issues as well but you may have to download the app and restore data only, I have had some work back restoring the app and then restoring data but more luck with just a fresh app from the market.
Many people have reported that this also works for them, just wanted to add it to the help and troubleshooting section.
Working solution of error 24
Method 1 (Sure Fix but requires root):
Install a file manager like Root Manager
Browse to internal storage android/data/com.whatsapp
Delete the com.whatsapp… folder
Now install whatsapp from Google Play

Thanks I fixed mine, my "-24" error came up after I try to restore my GS3. In order to get the install to go through you have to delete the existing folder of the associated app first
Root Manager > Root/data/user/0 > find any app folder you are having trouble installing (the name is either by app name or maker's name > confirm & delete.
try to reinstall the app from Play Store and it should work. (In my case I think it's because i have a list of apps from my other acct and during the restore session somehow the Play Store was confused and couldn't verify the app install.)
thanks worked fine.
i face this issue whnever i clean dalvik cache thrugh Link2SD plus

After flashing to TNT Lite 4.20 I now have to clear an error message every time I boot my G Tab. It says "Sorry! The application Google Partner Setup (process.com.google..android.partnership) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."
A Force Close is required to clear it, or else it messes with email (and maybe other stuff).
Questions:
- I've located this in /system/app using iFileManager and it's an apk file ... can it be safely deleted?
- How do I delete it? I'm not familiar with iFilemanager, and don't see a "delete" option. Can I delete it with CWD or Titanium Backup?
Thanks!

I know this has come up before, but all I find is other people asking my same question:
Can I safely delete the Google Partner Setup apk from my system/app folder?
It's not loading (requires a FC for the tablet to boot), but I'm still reluctant to remove anything from the system directory in case it's required somehow.
Help???

Google Partner Setup is used (at least) by the browser. You could try disabling it using Autorun Manager from Market instead of deleting the .apk file. Be warned that doing so on my system caused the browser to exit without warnings on quite few sites--those that have Google Ads are esp. problemmatic.
My advice is to first go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > select "All", find "Google Partner Setup" and then "Clear data". If that doesn't work, get into ClockworkMod and there do a "wipe data/factory reset" (and also possibly a "wipe cache partition").
Thanks Raj. I'll give it a try.

Hi, I'm on Foxhound's Revolver Ocelot ROM and I keep getting these two messages whenever I try to download anything from the Play market;
Package file is invalid & Insufficient storage available
I cannot download a single app from the Play market.
Please someone help me to resolve this, preferably without a factory reset.

Update
I've wiped cache and dalvick in recovery, but still the issue remains.
I've also wiped cache and data in Google Play Market and Download Manager, but error is still there.
Help, someone.

Try to download apps using another network connection. Sometime it many be a temporary network issue. Also try these methods http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html
try what MyLifeRocks10 said: "go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the respective .apk"
I'm trying to download Sports Car Challenge and am getting the same problems.
First it was insufficient storage space, so I rebooted, same problem. Then I unmounted sdcard, app cannot be installed in default location, so I remounted sdcard now I get package file invalid.
AAARRGGHHHH !
I've tried clearing cache of google play store but no difference.
I am running standard XWLPG firmware with CF-root.
Solved. Sort of.
I've spent two days prowling the web searching for solutions for the "package file invalid" error. My problem was that maps would not restore from a backup or install from the market. I did one of everything in an attempt to solve it, I'm pretty sure. Since it looks like the cache is simply jammed up, preventing the install of large Google apps, I used a Titanium Backup filter to list all my apps that reside on the phone rather than on the SD card. I uninstalled a few of the bigger ones (actually just three of the biggest) and then went to the market to install maps. Came through without a problem. Strangely, using Titanium again I was able to restore all those apps I'd uninstalled to make room for maps. I have no idea why that worked – it seems spatially impossible – but for now, at least, problem solved. What a total hair-puller the invalid package error is.
Hi.I have a problem..
I flashed v2.5 yesterday, and when I want download app from PlayStore, It always give me a message: "Package file is Invalid" and I cant install app from SDcard. I try to reflash the ROM. BUT its still
I need help ~ THX

+1 to this..
So I bought one of those cheap tablets. Of course it didn't come with Google play.
So I tried flashing the 20121011 package from goo.Im/gapps then installing the 4.6.17 apk which I downloaded from xda
I get as far as logging into my Google account then when the store begins to load I get a "Google play store has stopped" message.
I've cleared the data and cache for all Google play services and framework.
I know there isn't a great chance I'll get this working, but I figured I'd see if anyone had any more suggestions to try.
It's a proscan plt8801k running 4.1.1
Thanks
No need to flash a GApps package. The Play Store apk would be enough.
DOWNLOAD PLAY STORE VERSION 4.6.17 (OP)
I tried that first. But it just crashes right after it opens so I installed gapps to see if part of the Google framework was missing. Got any other tips?

If you have FCs right after the installation of the above apk go to Settings > App > All and clear app data of Google Play Store and Google Play Services then reboot and try again.
I appreciate you taking the time to help me.
I had tried resetting all apps and settings before, but this time I manually cleared the data on the two you just mentioned.
Same issue.
I wonder If there is some other dependency that is missing or out of date because the entire store loads (icons and all) and then about a half a second later it crashes.

No worries. This method doesn't work on some devices and I never had to face this issue but try this (it's free ):
Go to Settings > App > All > Hit on Google stuff and check if everything is running.
Go to Settings > App > Do you have a 'Disabled' menu on the right?
By the way on a 2012 MPMAN tablet the following apks were needed (information taken on a tech blog):
• GoogleServiceFramework.apk
• (Google)OneTimeInitializer.apk
• SetupWizard.apk
• com.android.vending-X.X.X-signed.apk
Do you have all these apks?
The instructions explain to directly reboot after installing the apk files. Do not try to open the Play Store before rebooting!
There is no disabled menu but I checked all the Google stuff and none of it was disabled.
I just did a factory reset and installed the play apk then rebooted
I'm not rooted yet so I can't see the apks themselves. But I may be missing those last two because I don't see then in settings-> apps. Can you recommend a date place to download them?

Unzip the GApps package and you can find them in /system/app.
Did u grab the right package? Is your Android version 4.1.x?
You need root to push these apks into the right directory.
I thought that would be accomplished when I flashed the zip as an update.
Okay so I'm rooted, I gave es rootexplorer root access. I extracted the zip and tried coying the apks to /system/app but I got a access denied error.
What is the proper way to accomplish this?

Yes you need to modify the permissions of ES File to R/W. From the side panel hit 'Root Explorer' > Mount R/W > Checl both / and /system as RW > OK.
[GUIDE] How to fix and upgrade Google Play Services
Click to expand...

This Guide is designed for people, who are having problems with the GoogleApps_GearCM_CM9_20140711 package.
Only for CyanogenMod 9.1 - BroadcomCM Beta 5, but might help other people too.
Error Messages
If you get one of the following errors, you have installed a Google Apps Package which was signed with old certificates.
Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID.
This app won't run without Google Play services, which are missing from your phone.
The Problem
You cannot fix this error by installing/updating Google Play Services, because there is a conflict with the "shared user id".
The Solution
The "shared user ids" are stored in this file "/data/system/packages.xml".
Therefore it is very important that you don't delete the google apps manually with a Root Explorer.
Because in this case, the "shared user ids" are not getting deleted in the "packages.xml".
You should uninstall the Google Apps with the App Manager of the ES File Explorer.
Download it from the Play Store
Start the app and open the left toolbar
Go to "Tools" -> "App Manager"
Select "System Apps" from the top menu
Select the following apps (one by one) and hit uninstall and then click OK
/system/app/GooglePlayStore.apk (com.android.vending) (Google Play Store)
/system/app/GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk (com.google.android.syncadapter.contacts) (Google Contacts Sync)
/system/app/GoogleLoginService.apk (com.google.android.gsf.login) (Google Account Manager)
/system/app/GoogleServicesFramework.apk (com.google.android.gsf) (Google Services Framework)
/system/app/NetworkLocation.apk (com.google.android.location) (Network Location)

This will uninstall the apps correctly and the "packages.xml" gets also updated correctly.
Next Step
Afterwards reboot into recovery and wipe the cache.
Then install my updated Google Apps Package, which you can find here.
Final Step
After installing my updated Google Apps Package, reboot your device and go to the System Settings, and add your Google Account.
After clicking the "Add Account" button, there might be a bug, where the Google Icon is black and the text is not visible.
Just click the line which is completely dark, and configure your Google Account. Afterwards the Icon should re-appear.

Google Apps are updated automatically after you have installed a Google Apps Package.
Worked for me, thanks. Needed to enable Root Explorer in ES File Explorer (it's a toggle in the left-sidebar) and had to download ES Task Manager. Network Location system app didn't exist on mine (Android 4.4.4) but the fix still worked. Since I'm using CM11, I just re-installed their GApps zip package from Recovery.
Easy fix without reboot

What I did is went to settings apps, then I went to running apps, Google play services said it had 2 running service's, I opened it up and to find 7 were running and causing conflicts between the authentication and the service itself. I stopped all the services which is just like reciting because they restart. Phone works again no reboot, try this for a quick fix next time to save your day. Sincerely Jacob.

Strange. You or something has changed settings. Doesn't happen on its own.
Check your default apps and that it is set correctly:
Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App
Check Phone is set to "system default". If not go into the list and select.
Hope that works.
If not...looks like a factory reset or update via recovery
Had the same issue.
I fixed it by going into "Settings>>>App Management>>>>Default App" and then change the System Launcher back to the default one that comes with the phone. I was using Microsoft Launcher before. Then, find the Phone Manager app and run it.
This is absolutely stupid. No idea why you can't run the same app in a different launcher. Oh well.
hii
a common issue
Sometimes the phone manager App doesn't come pre-installed, install it from play store.
For me, I clicked phone manager and then a message came out: Error 101. What is that?

A quick search helps:
Solve Error Code 101 in Google Play Store
The error 101 occurs due to the memory issue, which can be ROM / SD-card storage / Cache memory. But this error mostly gets solved by deleting some unused apps or by freeing the SD card memory.
Solution 1: Free memory card space by deleting unused Apps or content. Also, free up the Phone internal storage. It should solve the problem.
Solution 2: Remove the Google Account and open the Play store again and log in.
Solution 3: Uninstall Play store Updates Go To Settings Select Manage Applications or APPS Manager Tap on ALL Scroll and Look for “Google Play Store” Clear Cache and Data Click on Force Stop Select Uninstall Updates Reboot you phone and try again
Solution 4: Clearing cache and Data for Google Apps Go to Settings Select to Application Manager or Apps Under All , look for Google Services Framework Clear Data Cache and Click Force Stop NOW do the Same With Google PLAY STORE, Google Play Services, Download Manager Reboot your Phone, it should be working fine now.
