I recently rooted my Sprint GS5 w/ stock 6.0.1 +Xposed, and everything was working beautifully except the Google Play Movies and TV app. It wouldn't stream and give a generic error of "Try Again" or "Get Help".
Trying to download movies would give message "Could not fetch license. Error -1".
Clearing Cache/Data, Uninstall Updates & Factory Hard Resets didn't work.
After browsing through XDA, user Joyousfrank posted a solution in the Galaxy S7 Edge Forum - HERE.

Try deleting (with root browser or ES explorer) "liboemcrypto.so" file under /system/vendor/lib , reboot and should be working now.

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.
I bought for my kids the a generic android tablet. I set one up and was able to child proof it by deleting the browser and gmail and google talk. It works beautifully. Then I went to work on my other tablet. I deleted the browser, without backing up, and now I can't get to martket. I get the server error message.
I have dutifully searched the boards before asking any questions. I have:
From boot mode cleared the cache, reset to factory setttings (which did not restore the browser), installed the Google apps for 4.0 gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip which did not install a browser but did install Google talk.
I have signed out and resigned in and restarted play store many times, I have deleted and reinstalled the apk.
I have tried to install google framework apk where it gives me a parse error.
I unistalled play store and installed market hoping for the update and reinstall of play store. I get server error
I have installer market enabler.
Google sync doesn't work either.
The device came rooted. I use es file explorer.

Please. Please help!
Bump!

Play Store must be installed as a system app. After you deleted it and reinstalled it, it installed as as a user app. Chances are the app you used to uninstall it can move it to to system. If not, there's a number of free apps that can.
As for the Insufficient Storage Space issue, first try wiping cache and dalvic cache. If that doesn't work try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2443267
Tried the thread u linked me it doesn't work cant find the folder
How do I do that?

You need a file browser with root access. ES File Explorer, for example. Do a search for "instagram". It'll probably a long time. Did you get Play Store working?
I have file explorer which has root access and still can't find that file and also nothing on instagram, had to uninstall play store due to the message play store has stopped working
What should I do now?
I have a Xiaomi TV Box 3rd Gen, Model : MDZ-09-AK and i'm having a few problems. After trying to install google play for awhile, I rebooted and manged to get google play, however a few things happen, I couldn't install apks (crashes any apps that tries to install it) and google play doesn't even work (No connection though my wifi works), the youtube app also stopped working. So I decided to enter system menu and clear everything out. However, i'm now stuck without a settings app, with a broken play store and some default apps. I cannot install any .apk.

Hi, since the Oreo update I can't find the "Unknown sources" to install APK's freely. I'ts not under "Lock Screen and Security", and I have enabled Chrome in "Applications/Special Access/Install other apps" and I'm trying to install apps from the "Downloads" section of chrome, but it dosn't work this way either.
I was trying to install the Pixel Launcher as seen from here: https://theunlockr.com/2018/03/13/make-samsung-galaxy-s9-look-like-stock-android/
But everytime I try it I get the "<!> Application not installed".
I don't know exactly what says in english, I'm using my phone in spanish.
Any ideas? Thanks!

They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps
Please help how to fix this problem. This doesn't work, I tried installing Accuweather pro several times. I have the app saved to my Google Drive, I click on the app and I see something called 'Staging App' and then I get this alert ' There was a problem parsing the package'. I currently had an older version of Accuweather pro installed and working fine. I decided to remove the old version and then reinstall it and I received the same alert. FYI the old Accuweather app was installed before the Oreo update.

Have you tried downloading your APP file from Google Drive to your phone then opening the copy on your phone, that should install the .apk
Go to settings on the phone >> apps >> 3 vertical dots at the top right corner >> special access >> install unknown apps >> and there enable the permission from where you are trying to download it.
All thank you,
I found out that you now have to download the app to your phone. Google Drive does not allow you to download and manually install .
Dear sir/madam,
Following your answer, in specific this part, "They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps", perhaps someone could help me out. I use the Firefox Focus browser and this app doesn't show up in the list of apps that are allowed to install unknown apps.
* Does this mean Firefox Focus can't install apps from unknown apps, since it's not on the list?
* And perhaps we can conclude from that it will never be allowed to do so?
* Or would this app not be on this list, because I've never tried installing anything using this browser?
I guess the real question would be, what populates this list?
I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance, all the best.
Form what I've seen, 1st time you try to install apk from an app it asks you if you want to allow it?

That's what I was thinking as well, funny thing is that 'Google Chrome' is in the list and I've never used that browser. Unless it's there, because it's from Google
I have followed the above suggestions and have allowed Chrome to install apps since that's the browser I'm using. The phone says I have downloaded the app but it is not giving me any option to install it? Where did the download go and how can I get it actually installed? This is an app for work.
Edit: Nevermind - I restarted the phone and tried again and it worked. thanks.
