[Q] Unable to install APK - Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers

"the package conflicts with an existing package by same name"
So basically I wanted to update bixby manually because for some reason it claims 2.0.03 or something to that extent is the newest but it is not, 2.1 is. So I got the newest APK and got that message. Tried some tricks, won't install. I decided to completely uninstall all Bixby labeled apps from my phone (backed them all up too) and now I can neither install the new apk or the old ones. What gives here? Google said to uninstall all prior versions of the app but this message haunts me. What can I do? I just wanted my bixby button to only open google assistant. Instead it would open bixby as well and it was an annoyance. Now the button has no use because I don't have bixby at all and it won't let me install a new version or the old one.

What I usually do is reboot and try to install right as soon as it turns on.
If that doesn't work, disable secure boot up try again as soon as it starts. If not enabled, enable it, restart, and disable again reboot and install it right at boot up. Usually works for me but not always doesn't hurt to try

See my issue was the first method did not ever work, and I don't have secure boot. I decided to backup the rom I was using, update the BL and then flash a custom rom. Trying out an Oreo rom. If this custom one doesn't do it for me I'll reflash the old rom backup and probably upgrade it to a newer version via odin and use the HOME labeled file to just keep my stuff. But yea those methods are doing nothing for me sadly.

Unable to update (permission issue)

Whatever i did to enable/unblocking this app, its keep showing that app is block/hidden so the update will failed.
Using adb method pointing out that permission denial..looks like that app comes from different package..
Using root image to unblock by debloater than flash stock image, when plugin usb those apps still shown as block..
GCUV.apk and SetupWizard.apk..
I guess this is the reason why some of us are failing in updates their fw..
Did you ever get this figured out?

You have to flash back the old image fw and try debloating tools from there...then double check if its still exist or not...
Mine somehow works with repeat every step that i make within old fw and also need root.
the problem is its unfreeze but not unblock.

So I have made a back up of the LGsetup wizard with titanium back up and it seems to unblock itself using debloater. However, I'm still having trouble unblocking that persistent GCUV file.... i was thinking of using debloater to remove it ( as it creates a back up) then restore it but I have no clue what it would do when I do delete it.
The option I'm trying right now is:
1. download the OTA
2. use debloater to unblock EVERYTHING( dont need to be rooted)
3. quickly accept the OTA
4.hope the restart doesnt activate the GCUV to block again ... T.T this is all wishful thinking because I rather do plan b
(delete GCUV and restore it )
got them to unblock
Successfully got the two apps to unblock
-while rooted use titanium back up and debloatr to unfreeze and back up gcuv
-force stop app using TB, then run it using TB
-reset phone and check with debloater (unblock anything during this time as well. If you unblock anything always follow up with a reboot to make sure it's blocked
-when all apps are unblocked (and stay that way ) proceed to unroot with supers
-restart, check with debloat again.
(an app called phone.acvy or something turned up so I unblocked that)
-factory reset your phone and check with debloatter again (I was paranoid you see...)
If everything is fine go ahead and flash the stock img using the LER replacing stock img with root
-check debloater if anything still persist unblock the he'll out of it and reboot
And that's what I did!!!
Always reboot to see if anything persists and devloater to check
I haven't tried to update yet because well it's 8 am and I'm at a horse show that ends at 6pm soo I'll keep you guys updated

Thanks, please keep updates if you've successfully update via ota:good:
I got another error
the update failed and after booting up and checking with debloater it showed that
"lg set up" has blocked it self again
Kinda stuck from this point on .
I guess I can redo everything, but I really don't know what "GCUV" is why its so persistent, how lgsetup is connected with it.
I am a very noobish person one this xD im kinda just doing everything i can do with trial and error

I have the newer Model LGL16C/4.4.2/Baseband version M8610B-AAAANAZM-1.0.6060/Kernel version 3.4.0+/Build KOT49I.L16CV11a/Software version L16CV11a/"Lucky". Service provider is Tracfone, aka Crapfone. Attempts to root with Kingroot as well as Kingoroot failed, including several apps which claim to root your phone. I paid less than $10 US dollars for this phone and rooting it isn't high on my priority list, however rooting the damn thing has presented a bit of a challenge.
A working guide to rooting this phone would be great.

Hey so i spent forever trying ro find a root that would work on this. Or a custom ROM anything really. Try going into McAfee Security, setting up an account, go to settings and disable the lock down device option. That was the problem for me at least McAfee was blocking any root from installing. From there i rooted my lucky with kingroot one click root. Hope this helps!
The Easiest Way To Root Your LG Lucky Without a PC
Easy way to install SuperSU on your LG Lucky
Just follow directions
Use KingRoot 4.5.0 app - google KingRoot apk all versions. Download and install apk.
Google replace kingroot with supersu. There will be a few sites popup, Mediafire is where the original .zip file is hosted. You can even search "how to replace/remove kingroot with supersu" here on XDA for more info.
Once you have downloaded the .zip file be sure to extract it to your INTERNAL sd, the script in the zip will not work from your external sd.
Open the extracted file and copy the mrw file to the internal storage, the path should look like /storage/emulated/0/mrw.
Now go to the play store, download and install Terminal Emulator. I use the one by Jack Palevich as it is only 551kb and easy to use.
Open the terminal emulator and type "su" in order to grant super user permission to the emulator,
On the next line type "/system/bin/sh - /storage/emulated/0/mrw/root.sh" and press enter.
Now the script will run and open up SuperSU automatically. Install binary when prompted with the "normal" option. Choose yes when it asks if you want to delete other superuser apps. (this removes kingroot).
Before rebooting phone, go into the settings of SuperSU and enable pro mode, change icon if you wish, enable survival mode, enable su during boot. I think you have to restart app at this point, can't remember as I did this months ago. Then restart the SuperSU app, go back into settings to Install SuperSU into system. Reboot phone,
When phone reboots, this is when Kingroot is finally uninstalled. Your phone will still be rooted with SuperSU. At this point you may wish to update SuperSU as this is version 2.46 and the newest version is 2.71 Beta. You can get the newest version of SuperSU from the thread here on XDA.
(thanks MrWolf for the script to make the change and thank you Chainfire for SuperSU, FlashFire, CF.lumen, etc...)
LGL-16C successfully (so far) rooted using Kingoroot.exe (latest version). Had to change from mtp to camera on USB then was recognized. Have SuperSU 2.72, SuperSU Pro, BusyBox Pro, and Xposed installed with Xblast and Lucky Patcher running. No custom recovery or roms available and I have searched hi and lo. Was a Net10 $15 phone with nothing to lose, so...will try more stuff out another day and post again.

Until any source is made there will be no recovery or ROM and tbh I don't have the time to dig into it currently.. The positive with rooting though is removing the bloat

Hi. Could you tell me how you installed supersu after rooting with kingroot? Thanks
Well I have root and supersu installed but it won't update binary. Any help out there? Thanks
Hey everybody. I did it!! Just root with kingroot 4.5 and replace kinguser with super sume. Worked great. All kingroot stuff is gone!! Ive rebooted 3 times to make sure and all is good.
Well if anyone is interested in looking at the source code, lg support has downloads available for nearly every phone they've ever made.
http://opensource.lge.com/osList/list?m=Mc001&s=Sc002
The file for the LGL16C is on page 2. Every thing seems to be listed alphabetically so it's easy to locate.
I still have my lucky and actually use it often although I no longer have it activated.
@ cecnwv,
Thanks for the link. Using Ares 11 and got "IP banned for 6 hours,try again later" after dbl tppng yellow icon. I did something wrong. Not at my PC. (unfortunately)
Thanks for any enlightenment,

Two 10a LGL16C Tracfones, one free (recon from Tf) and one new $14.95 @ eBay from Best Buy, rooted with everything that has Google in the name frozen (TB) but no image to restore. (twrp)
Has anyone made a complete backup of their system apps using Titanium Backup? Being that one can't use fastboot/download mode (this phone has it locked out and a special USB cable is required) so my backup options were limited. I thought I did a full backup with Titanium Backup, but apparently lost it as I only found a small partial one on my PC.
Issue is I had uninstalled some bloatware and integrated updates for a few apps. But after factory resetting the phone it is behaving a bit odd. The notification bar doesn't really work anymore (apps still able to use sound/vibration to make a notification, but nothing appears in the notification bar) and I am unable to call the phone because it never rings and it immediately goes to voice mail. So the phone app is borked too.
Plus soft button to the right of the home button (I forget what it's called) doesn't bring up the app history anymore so I can't close background apps. (the volume buttons also don't really do anything anymore. Normally using them causes the volume bar for ringtone to appear and if using a media app, the volume bar for media audio comes up instead. But now nothing happens).
The phone is in a pretty broken state and even doing app updates from Play Store doesn't work anymore. Was gonna try and look around if someone has some app/data backup of the system apps installed. This is a TracFone branded phone and is currently running Android 4.4.2 (Kernel version 3.4.0+). Which is the last Android update they made for this phone.
Perhaps there's a single service/app that is responsible for notifications/volume bar that is borked. But I have no idea which system app is broken so a full app restore is my next best option.
The first thing wrong I noticed after resetting it was that the intial setup screen would return everytime I rebooted the phone. (only way i could get that to stop was freezing it in Titanium Backup). So maybe related to that app somehow. I don't recall ever uninstalling/merging update data for that perticular app though so it's probably a side effect of a different app going haywire.
EDIT:
Ok looks like I resolved the issue. I just removed the LGStartupWizard.apk then did a factory reset via Volume Down+Power button combo. It boots straight to home menu now and everything works. I guess the LG setup wizard thing got borked somehow. No more setup wizard but verious things like google account and whatnot can be configured manually via settings so no real loss.
All the missing things like the app history button, lock screen, notification bar, etc are now working as a result of resetting after removing LGSetupWizard.apk.

Awesome, this worked for me too, though the issue wasn't exactly the same. When I got the phone it had already been rooted with Kingo at some point and I noticed after resetting it that I had similar problems (it may have had the issues before the factory reset too, I just didn't notice one way or the other). Anyway, I was getting slightly different misbehavior. No recents key, yes, but also no response from the Home key. Pull-down notifications bar was mostly working, but with no visible notifications and I couldn't press the Setup "gear" in top right. My volume buttons and Play Store were fine, though, but I'd noticed that when I tried further factory resets (from the menu, not via hard reset) that it wasn't "really" resetting, as any downloaded files/etc. remained on the phone. I'd tried freezing LGSetupWizard already, but as you noted, that doesn't fix it for whatever reason. Deleting altogether does. Yay. I do wonder what the hell is happening during the root or reset that triggers this problem, though. It behaves as if Setup Wizard was just never completed, so you remain "locked out" of most of the same functions that are unavailable during setup normally. Oh well.
Anyway, as old ten-dollars-or-less type phones go, this isn't the worst I've ever used by a long shot. Heck, it's arguably better than a few other slightly bigger/newer/pricier crap-phones out there! (Looking at you, ZTE Legacy/Quest...) FWIW, I had "ripped" all of the APKs from /system/app and /priv-app for some reason back when I first got this thing, so if they'd be of use to anyone I'll be happy to upload all or individual files. Hell, if anyone can tell me how to do a full ROM dump I'd be happy to do that too, because there's definitely still no official stock image available online that I could find a trace of. (Granted, I don't know if there'd be any way to utilize a non-official backup image anyway or turn it into a flashable KDZ, but that's not my point...)
Thank you, I got my lucky rooted! I'm wondering if anyone ever found any custom ROMs or recoveries for this device. It seems like this was never popular for any of that, but thought I'd ask. Thanks.

How to use Marshmallow?

So... This is kind of a rant, but it might as well be a valid question: How do you get Marshmallow working?
I've been struggling to get Lollipop to be stable, but this is even worse. I've been using Cataclysm for a while, and it was fine. Then my alarms stopped working. I said OK, I just reflash. Didn't help.
Flashed Chroma, used it for a while, it was fine, until a decided to clean flash an update. It just doesn't work. And if I flash any other MM ROM, the same thing happens. It just doesn't work. Setup wizard force close. Reflash, retry. Activating data connection, stuck for half an hour, I pressed skip. After that, I tried logging in to my Google account, play services force close, try again. No way to press back, not even after reboot, so reflash AGAIN. This time logging in worked, then I pressed restore apps, guess what, no error message, it decided to throw me back a screen, got into a loop, unfixable by reboot, REFLASH ****ING AGAIN. This time I only flashed it AFTER the first boot, play services and setup wizard force close loop.
Decided the gapps package was at fault, except I've been using the same package for a year, so not really. But I downloaded Banks 6.0. Same problems. Downloaded Open Gapps, SAME.
After that, I deleted the setup wizard from the gapps package, since there is no other way to skip it. Booted fine, but couldn't pull down the quick toggles, home button only worked half the time, the usual "when you skip the setup wizard" issues. I was angry decided to flash Lollipop, because that usually works, now I'm stuck at the ****ing Google logo.
I've been flashing **** for years, I know how to do it. I'm also a patient person. If something doesn't work for the first time, I try again, and again, and again. But this is stupid. KitKat is THE last version of Android that works. Of course all the new features are missing from it, so what are you gonna do? Use the newer. What do you do when you can't use the newer? You buy an iPhone? I'm not that stupid, so what's next? Aside from flashing CM13? Half the setting don't work or crash, including GPS, but at least it boots and you can install gapps on it.
Any other ways to get this piece of garbage working?
Have you tried stock? Since mm I've been running rooted stock or close to it on three older devices and haven't had problems. I'll use xposed or a custom kernel if I want an improvement over stock, or a minimalist rom.

I never use stock, but Chroma is close enough. And these issues are not connected to the ROM itself. It's Google being stupid.
Take a complete backup and do flash all with Google image.

Always on display keeps stopping after re-install

I rooted my device and happily started debloating.
AOD (which I really do not need) also had to go, but it seems this is giving me issues with my lock screen. The issue being that there is no clock widget installed, causing me to have a lock screen only showing an ICE number. There is minimal and not being able to tell the time at a glance...
I tried re-installing, but it keeps force closing on me (cannot modify the settings, device freezes for short times). No permanent damage; but I cannot get it to work.
Tried clearing cache and data for AOD, of no avail.
Anyone know what I am missing in order to get it re-installed?
Thank you!

Still on stock ROM; had to use Odin just yesterday to fix an issue with the Play Store (same thing; issue, had to uninstall, continued force closes).
How can I flash the stock ROM (given it is 3,5 GB)? Put it on my SD card and flash with TWRP?
Thanks.
Just download the stock ROM zip for your device and carrier from sammobile and Flash using odin using download mode on your phone.
If you were rooted is simpler, just download a stock based ROM like SolDier's and flash it through TWRP.

How about installing AOD and then setting it as a system app with Magisk? There's a mod available to do that. Maybe it'll work then? Definitely worth a try before reflashing stock.
Also make sure you install a compatible version from APK Mirror. Most newer versions aren't compatible with the Galaxy S8. Go ahead and install 3.2.80.4 (that's the one I have installed on my phone right now).
Perhaps try installing that version and then try it out before going through the procedure of installing Magisk.
Hope that works for you.
see whether it disabled or no

This works almost! No continued forced closes; however the screen on action takes forever (in comparison to other actions on the S8),
I am just wondering how come the re-install does not work properly. Titanium removed the APK; I install another one.
Why is AOD acting weird?

When in MSM tool you wiped everything or only data?
What twrp you are using?...
Please provide some info...and if you can, upload that screenshots so we can see that lines....maybe you phones battery is dead or maybe something with hardware i guess...
It all started when I updated to 9.0.9 pie it is stable version. I flashed oxygen os 5.1.5 via msm tool to remove the red warning. The only twrp I tried is for Android Q ( I updated my system to 10.3.0 via MSM tool). Yes I tried to unlock bootloader and try to flash a ROM I got stuck in a step where I need to flash an OOS the version is right. I dont know what causes the error. Pls ignore the 2nd error in screenshot I accidentally pressed that. Thank you I will get back to you for the screen DIAGONAL lines it is small I also notice if something new appear to the screen the phone freezes and restart.
Ok, what twrp version you are using?...and pls...try to format data withing twrp and then enable mtp and flash latest oxygen again...but your zip is not the latest one...it should be Oneplus6oxygen os 042...but format everything when it says type yes...try this and talk back...
And feels like it is hardware problem...
Here is the screenshot of lines appearing randomly.
I tried that nothing happend. Still that warning yes it is 042 and i am using EvolutionX rom it reboots but Not too much
Twrp is 3.3.1-17 Q
Did you try to format your phone?

my phone was recently bricked with a RED warning "your phone is corrupted...." I fixed the warning with MSM downloader tool. I am out of options.
I tried to flash a custom ROM but I Am stuck in step 1 that to flash OOS it says error 28

Sometimes issues like that occur when I change some things in mine and donĀ“t wipe the data [Mine is an A6003]
Yes I did try to format data. I tried to install TWRP in. 8.1 oreo OOS 5.1.11 Blu spark twrp 3.2.3-x. "fastboot boot twrp.img" and it completes but stuck in oneplus logo fast boot mode.
I had only access to twrp in Q 10.3.0 twrp version 3.3.1-17-Q ( this is the only Custom recovery worked )
I tried pie 9.0.8 flash twrp "fastboot boot twrp.img" it is also stuck in oneplus logo fastboot mode
Maybe this will help? The package box of my phone
Problem started after Pie OTA update. Black screen and random reboots
it was sold with OxygenOS installed
Bump
Read and write speed
My read and write speed is 749mbps(read)
0mbps(write) any way to fix this? Maybe this is the problem
If those problems are purely software-related, and I think there's a good chance they are, I'd say one of the more critical partitions on your phone got corrupted at some point, somehow. Using MSMDownloadTool to fix this is a bit of an overkill imo, and the method below has always worked for me when I messed something up while switching between OOS and custom ROMs so I reckon it's pretty good. Also, full-proof. Essentially just do as follows:
0. Make a backup. Always!
1. Download the newest OOS version from this thread (direct link to 10.3.1)
2. Unpack the zip to whichever location on your PC suits you best.
3. One of the files inside will be an archive (also .zip if I recall correctly) with all the partition images. Unpack all its contents to the main directory where the rest of the files are.
4. There will also be a folder with different .bat files corresponding to what partitions you'd like to flash (as per the flasher advanced guide section in the thread from point 1) - grab the one named flash-all-partitions.bat and copy it to the main folder as well.
5. Boot the phone into fastboot mode and connect it to PC, and finally
6. Launch the script from point 4, agree to the data wipe, and wait. Flashing the whole thing will take a while, but hopefully it'll solve your problems

MSMDownloadTool is the emergency download tool. Anyway, what you did is you literally just reflashed all of your phone's partitions, on both slots, so either the issue is hardware, or...I don't know. What happens when you boot your phone in safe mode (hold the reboot, err, icon that appears after holding the power button for a few seconds, until a popup with info about safe mode appears)? Do apps still crash?
Oh, one more thing (blind guess really, but yeah) - are you, by any chance, a beta tester for the Android System WebView app or Google Play Services? If you are, switch back to stable channel via Play Store and update the respective apps. Tell me, if that changed anything. (Also, if you could check the WebView implementation version in the settings, that would be great (just use search)).
Edit: out of curiosity, what happens when you try to update the phone via the local update function (to 10.3.1, just download the full OTA zip this time instead of the fastboot-compatible one)? Does it work without issues or not really?
One thing I noticed is writing speed is instant e.g. sending
OKAY [19.294]
Write[0.000]
Sometimes it is [-0.000]
i need a tool to reset internal partition or anything main slot for boot is "b"
It does not update via local.
I will try that playstore thing but I doubt it

Apps don't crash when Im in safe mode but i can only access system apps. Thank you for helping dude.
Maybe this will explain something?

Some partitions are fairly small, so they should be transferred to the device pretty much instantly, although I'm not sure if the time should show null ([-0.000]).
If OTA still doesn't work however, then the problem seems to be somewhere else entirely, so the Playstore thing probably won't help, yes.

Heeeey, we're getting somewhere!
-------------------------------------------
Edit: wait, are the user apps the only ones crashing (when not in safe mode)? Or are system apps crashing too?
-------------------------------------------
The safe mode is designed in such a way that no services other than system ones can run while using it - it's mostly for troubleshooting, same as e.g. in Windows. Not sure where that leads us, but there is a chance one of your apps/widgets/whatever might be causing this issue in that case, although I'm not sure how an app would impact the OTA functionality. Regardless, what you can check is whether you're able to perform a local update while in safe mode. You can also download the OTA zip again just to be sure it's not corrupted and that if the installation fails, it's not the update package's fault (and remember to use the full 1.something GB zip, not just the delta package!).
One other thing to try if the above fails is to reflash the critical partitions using the fastboot-compatible update zip and an appropriate script from within it. No idea if that's going to help, especially considering the fact those partitions should have been reflashed along with the rest using the script I mentioned a few posts earlier, but I reckon it's worth a try if everything else fails - troubleshooting is a trial-and-error process, all in all.
...also, np - hope you manage to fix your phone's issues eventually!

Not really, no, unfortunately - if I understand the information from the photo correctly, the only reasons for your device powering off were holding the power button [1] and using the keypad [3] (tapping the power off icon from the power menu?), which is, well, a normal way to turn a device off.
Pls just use MSMDownload tool insted....i can give you a link if you want but you can just google it

He used it actually, as mentioned in the OP, but to no avail.
