Hey guys,
I tried to update & download app, but after download finished it says "Package File is invalid".
I already tried clear cache & data, and uninstall google play updates, but still give error message "Package File is invalid".
How to fix this problem ?
If the problem happens with certain app only so may be the package file uploaded by the developer is invalid and can not be installed
Send a message to the developer stating the problem
Wait for sometime and try downloading again
This problem happened to.me several times, the only solution wasto wait and try to download again, usually solved by waiting

"Package File is invalid" happens to all apps on the Google play.
I think this is a Google Play bug (version 3.6-3.7), since almost every phone experience this error message when downloading from the Google play
If you are in cm10 or aokp rom try flashing gapp again, the jb version

Or try fix permissions and delete cash and dalvik from cwm no factory reset not to lose data
Or try flashing gapps again the jb not ics version from www.teamhacksung.org

Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &

Thanks ✟
Moving to Q&A
Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.

my play store version is 3.9.16
Version 4.1.23 works fine here on 8013 running latest rooted stock. Instead of OTA I upgraded via Kies which is the full1.5GB image instead of a patch. Something to consider trying if you still have issues.
Mine to is 3.9 may be you should try downgrading play store and then try it happened on my optimus 2x few times not with you tube though
Just to inform you,i flash again the official rom and youtube(version 3,5) was playing perfect.i update it from the market and youtube was not opening again.so the problem was the update

Sorry if this is the wrong section to post in, I'm new to xda. So I have been having a problem with aptoide. Everytime I try to download and install an app it gives me "download failed due to network" error. I have unknown sources checked (of course), and no network issues (as I am online right now). it will work one time if I delete and reinstall the app. It just started happening as I always use aptoide. I am running illusion rom on Samsung galaxy note 2 t889 4.2.2 any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance!

I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling and changing around my settings but nothing has worked. I haven't added anything or done anything different Before this started happening so I don't know what's going on someone please help!!!

Hi, I'm having a problem with my updates in Aptoide. I give update and says "Error apk Not Found"
try this one Tampermonkey script which allows you to download apk and obb directly to pc.
only chrome, maelstrom and opera browser are supported.

Aptiode is NOT allowed!
It is considerd warez!
Havent you all read the forum rules?!

It seems that you are running a MOD Play Store?
I have 4 different recommendations,try them, might they help you.
1.Do Factory Format, and while startup, Make sure to uncheck the BACKUP YOUR APP DATA AND SETTINGS and after giving your E-mail address.
2. Try to remove existing account and add another account on Play Store. ( Remove old one completely )
Then Reboot and add your previous account, check if play store is fine or not.
3. Check whether you are using a PROXY, if yes then remove it from going to APN (Access point Name)
4. If nothing works, try to Flash a JB 4.2.2 GAPPS while going into CMW recovery (wipe cache and Dalvik cache too, before flashing gapps)
Done, Hope one will work.
I installed CM11 in my galaxy grand duos GTi9082. Now I cant create a google account. There is no option to create a google account. I installed google play, but it closes as soon as it is opened. Same is the issue with gmail app. When i try to open freedom, it says "google account is needed to use this application". When i open in app purchase in the game Hack EX, it says "Problem setting up in app billing. Google play in app billing not supported in this device". I tried flashing gapps but it creates lot of bugs like "process.something.something" etc has stopped. When i press ok another error message pops up. I dont care if i dont have gapps... But i somehow want to create google account...
Please help :crying::crying:
Also on an additional note, i cant change my rom... Due to many bugs in cm11, i wiped cache, dalvic cache and did a factory data reset and flashed with cm10.1. But after that it stays at samsung logo and doesnt boot....

In opposite direction- If you can't flash any other rom via CWM (BTW- make sure to use lastest CWM version available), try to flash official build using Odin.
-The gapps error can be result of wrong/outdated gapps package, try to flash the latest one (11): http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Google_Apps
Ya jst install latest gapps it will definately solve ur google account problem
