"there is a problem parsing the package" - Nook Touch General

Guys,
I'm so angry , I just rooted the nook glowlight and am unable to install any apk files.
I'm always getting "there is a problem parsing the package", whatever I found on the internet :crying:
Is there no file explorer by default on it ? And why this parse error ?
And most websites just crash, grrr
Anyone, anyone please anyone : HELP MEEEE

Do you have ADB working? Can you see a logcat?
Do you know that these APKs are actually good and designed for API level 7?

Also, is installation of apps from unknown sources enabled in nook color tools? Most (all?) of the NST rooting packages include it, but you do have to set the flag to get packages found via the internet (rather than the google store) and copied to the device to install.

I get that error sometimes when downloading .apk files from some sites. Your browser might not be downloading the file with the correct filetype suffix. Can you see if it has the .apk suffix on it? I've found that some browsers do better than others with handling this file-type. If you can get xScope browser or Opera Mobile I think those were better. It's also possible that a retry of the download will work, or that the file itself is just bad.

I get the same error on my nook simple touch.
the same apk's work on my galaxy nexus.
Anyone knows what might be the problem and how to solve it?

A logcat will tell you exactly what the problem is.
Use ADB and get a logcat.

Are you sure these apks are compatible with Android 2.1 Eclair? Not everything will work. Which programs are you trying to install specifically?

I haven't thought of that. but you're probably right.
I'm surprised the error message is not more obvious though.

Wrong forum.
Try installing any other package with requirements : 2.1+
In Settings check "Allow Installation of Non-Market Apps" .
Install apk from SDCARD.
I'm 90% sure you are just trying to install a package not compatible with A 2.1.

I have a similar problem...
new to rooting and romming, finaly!!!! got my ms770 lg motion back to stock and I too am getting the error " there is a problem parsing the package".
I noticed that if I download an app, it installs fine, no problem...but when I transfer from my pc, it shows up with that error message when I try to install.
I have read a LOT of these forums , trying to determine how to solve this riddle...they all say try THIS file manager, or, make sure installation of non-market apps is checked, or some such thing...
Well, the "allow installation of non-market apps" thing IS checked...still no dice...
What do I do with the log once I get it?
Basically....can someone please point me in the right direction? Please?

I have installed market but still withour google account it refuses to start, same about maps, it doesn't show my prefered locations because there is no possibility to add my google account on Chinese P6800.
I would like to ask for your help and maybe you know the way how can I reflash it / add another .zip with some settings which will activate google account?
Thank you very much for your help.
Go download gapps from here:

Or here

xenix96, Thank you for your help, but the results are the following:
1. Downloading file from samdroid and installing it leads to error:
- Found package...
- Installing update
- Aborted Update
Do not know why, but it looks like it does not want to install it.
2. From the second link, I do not know actually, which one I need to install...
=)
Some update:
I have installed "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" and now after turning on there is a welcome screen. A hae added my google account, but the problem is that welcome screen, where I have to press on ANDROID picture to start using device is not disappearing... So actualy I cannot use device now))) How can I fix it? Maybe flash another file?

Hmmm strange... ok just try this: Honeycomb Google Apps and Market with "gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip" wich you allready have downloaded.
Why don't you just do a complete flash to another country ROM? Check below link for how to.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1469635
I want to but I am using GNU/Linux system, not windows and do not now how to flash in not using windows...
Could it be that official "Chinese" GTab 7.7 have been "altered" to censor? Just wondering.. No evidence really just conjecture.
Could not he odin a ROM from TW? Just a thought.
Not Sure.... maybe
Can anybody please help me with download link for any good ROM? And is there any possibility to flash ROM right from tablet?
You might want to consider using Heimdall.

I've sorted it, it's ok now, went to the settings and guessed my way through it
Dammit, I went ahead and flashed the google apps from links provided and NOW I get setupwizard force close loop ... so depressed, tried ADB shell to remove / uninstall and NO GO -- can't SU or delete anything now. Now that my 'system' is screwed-up I can't even factory reset... Just pissed. Any help?
EDIT:: well, this is the right stock ROM and I just flashed thru ODIN and my tablet is alive again: http://115.com/file/an40wd58#P6800ZCKL4.exe
The first thing I was presented with when I first time turned my 7.7 on was a language selection. It was, coming from HK, set to Chinese but in the drop down I could easily choose English. Is that any different from other versions.

OK, would like the definitive answer on getting market access and adding google account to this tab -- I did some magic I did before on China SGS2 (use TB to restore market and google as content provider) but it does not work on the P6800. Help?
EDIT: ok, I grabbed the backups from my acer A500 (also obviously honeycomb) and restored latest (3.21) market, google services framework, and google partner setup), but market just FC on me when I pick 'add account to this device'. Any suggestions?
I continue to f*** with this beautiful Chinese device. (Will never buy samsung products again, really). But I have bought this so for 2 or more years will use it.
I would like to reflash it, downloaded P6800XXLA4_CSC_AUT.exe firmware and tried using heimdall-frontend under GNU/Linux.
It says that firmware.xml is missing and do not want to start flashing process.
OK I thought and launched command line:

8. Then the problem is show up!
# I can't access the 'app info' via drag the app from the app drawer because it will "Unfortunately, settings has stopped"

# So i try to do again to go to system/framework/framework-res.apk then when i click the framework-res.apk it give me "Unfortunately, package installer has stopped"

You need to pull the framework-res.apk and decompile it. You might want to review for steps or procedures how to decompile an apk. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805408

[TOOL] rkBreakout v1.2 -- HUAWEI Ascend W1 jailbreak tool

It's dangerous if you don't know what it is.
You must read every instructions in the tool carefully.
I don't guarantee that I'll answer every questions about this tool.
W1-C00 and W1-U00 are both supported. W1-U34 is not confirmed, but it should be same as W1-U00 in theory.
XP is not supported, you need Vista and above system.
Tested only on China ROM GDR 0/1/2/3, but all ROMs are compatible in theory. If something wrong, post your phone's version and ROM version.
Only universal homebrew xap will work. Anything use Samsung service won't work.

is there a bootloader fix option for w1-U34(GDR1 Windmobile-Canada ) . I tried your app with both u00 and c00 options andIt shows the phone in device manager and in step 4 "Phone Connected". But in step 5 it shows waiting for phone to restart, With an error message " Image download Failed. Cookie (if Present) not Received. Could you add an option of this model too, or is there a way to change it from u34 to u00.
P.S on a sidenote Great job on the app its pretty easy to use, I do get an error when I open it runtime error '53' - File not found, after I click ok opens the app not sure if im missing something or its a problem with the app
Any Huawei apps with Interop caps are possible to install like Memory managment?

Currently W1-U34 is not supported because partition struct is unknow.

No, Storage Manage need driver by Huawei. AFAIK only Russian ROM has driver support it.
You should details this jailbreak, most users do not know what expect after it. Anything new on menu, visible an partition hided before or Interop etc

U34 should be same as U00. You can try change a computer or reinstall QPST/Driver first. Some people said that 'cookie not present error could be fixed by using a winxp/another qpst windows driver'

E footer is wrong, e signature verification failed when installing OTA update?

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Could be many reasons, you don't have enough information yet to know. Crucially, you failed to paste the verbatim error and the context surrounding it here. Or even link to the theme you refer to. So we don't have much to go on.
As it is labeled as an OTA theme, it will be specifically formatted for that custom ROM. So wouldn't it make more sense to seek help in the custom ROM support thread?
The actual error could be anything from a corrupt download (did you verify the md5 checksum or try downloading the theme again?) to a marginal USB cable (did you try a different USB cable and port?). Or many other things. Did you search the support thread to see if anyone else was troubleshooting similar issues?
.
Sorry, I'm completely new to the forum so don't know my way about.
How would I go about obtaining/providing the verbatim error?

You can copy and what you see on screen from the log that Odin or Kies makes. Or alternately make a screenshot.
Most questions could be expediently answered by a search of the forum too. But for some reason, most people don't try that.

I appreciate that, I did try looking via the forum before asking but didn't find any mention of 'verbatim'...
I also searched for the errors I am experiencing and whilst I found several other threads, none are a similar scenario to mine.
I am not using Odin or Kies, I was able to root my phone successfully, and installed the Alliance Rom with no issues.
My issue occurs after downloading an the OTA update/theme and then going into recovery mode > Install Zip > Choose zip from /sdcard > OtaDownloads/ > Install Black_Glass_S5
I ticked to check the MD5 sum, it came back with with 'MD5 check: error'
Signature verification causes the 'E: footer is wrong and E: signature verification failed' errors.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.

And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.
The error message, in context, tells us that you either tried to check md5 on a file that doesn't have a md5 - therefore a spurious error. Or the file was profoundly corrupt.

It's not my intention to be vague, I simply do not know what information is relevant/beneficial to you.
I deleted the file and then re-downloaded a new copy but it still won't unzip the file, the issue also occurs for another OTA file.
If there's specific info I can provide then by all means let me know and I'll provide it.
Appreciate the help and patience - evidently I'm still a noob when it comes to all the features/tools.

If you were already an expert, you could pare down the details in your post to the minimum amount needed. But when seeking help in an area that is new to you, you should provide the maximum amount of information. If in doubt post more, rather than exclude something when troubleshooting.
Nothing impairs someone from providing effective help as much as missing crucial details. The only things you should withhold are personally identifying info e.g. serial numbers.
Someone knowledgeable trying to help you can easily sift through too much info. Not the reverse.

I wasn't disagreeing - I've not got any other information to provide currently.
Will try searching the forum more to see if I can find anything else in the meantime.

Your search technique needs polishing. If some particular keyword doesn't work in a search, then use a synonym or reword your search query.
And there is crucial information that you didn't provide earlier. The very reason why I wanted the verbatim context. We are't psychic and can't help you effectively if you don't provide a detailed account.
Adding those details is a huge improvement. You selected a feature (check md5) without understanding how it worked. That caused an error. You then asked us what the error meant without telling us that you had done that and not providing any context or details for us to work with.

Hi folks!
Just bought myself an S5, have successfully rooted the phone, and decide to install the Alliance Rom with no issues.
I then downloaded the Black Glass OTA Theme, went into recovery mode and tried to unzip the file (Using Philz touch) - I received the following two error messages: "e footer is wrong, e signature verification failed"
I'm on android v4.4.2 - I backed up prior to this so I've just restored back to factory settings for the meantime, but I'd like to know why I'm getting those two errors if possible?
Many thanks!

Do you mount your SD card into a USB card reader and then use in a USB port on your desktop or laptop?
because if you accidentally made the "E" port into "read only" on one file, or anything on the drive it could have locked the entire drive down, which to me is exactly
what it sounds like,
put the card back into your desktop, right click as if you were ejecting drive. select properties> preferences> share file settings and set to "Everyone"
yes i know its old, but its not a bad thing to bring up to answer for other newbies right on front page.
thanks this helped me a lot

I realised I couldn't boot from sd card because I was creating the boot card through a card reader from this post so that really helped me thanks
"Hey i'd rather you do the work for me" kinda thang is a bit annoying. People are so silly sometimes.

Help with this app which pops up 'Parsing' error when installing

Hi guys. Could someone please have a look at this weather app and establish why it throws up Parsing error when I try to install it on my Acer Android.
I extracted it from my Huawei P8 using SHAREit but it doesn't install for some reason. May be the name of the apk file is not as it should be but I don't know what to rename it to. It is the stock Huawei Weather app version 6.1.09 that came with the updated Android 6.
com.huawei.android.totemweather_6.1.0923_6.0-eng.apk
Or, is a working one available for download?
Any help is apreciated very much.
Thanks a lot.
More than likely it is corrupt, and/or wrong version for the Android version on the Acer, that's why.
Why must it be that particular weather app. there are loads on Playstore and many are way better, IMHO.
Hi and thanks for replying. Yes I'm aware of the many other similar apps available but this one has just the right amount of info and visuals for me whilst still being light weight and simple. I just can't get to like any other ones I try.
You're right about the apk file being corrupt since it comes up with the same error when installing on the same phone it was extracted from.
As I have the P8Lite running this app. Can someone please tell me how I can get the executable apk file directly from the phone.
Thanks
