Thanks!

Worked perfect for Apex Launcher once I tried to install after modifying my Nexus to PA 3.99. Used ES Explorer.

My orphan files were not under data/data. They were lying as 3 files with 0 bytes. Don't know how it happened, but nevertheless, the fix works. Thanks a bunch! :)

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kr0th:
I have a Verizon GS4 rooted with CM 10.1.3RC2. I wanted to download the app snapdragon batteryguru FOR THE FIRST TIME from the playstore and I get this error message. I have searched data/data pretty much everywhere and cannot seem to find it to delete it. This app has never been on my phone before, so I don't know why this problem is happening.

I even tried downloading an apk I found online and when i tried to manually put it on, it would give me the error message "cannot install app."

Can someone please point me in the right direction for what to do? I really want to utilize my battery life with this app.

Remove Orphan Data worked for me! Thanks buddy!

I have a love hate relationship with Titanium Backup

Removing the Orphan data allowed me to update Airdroid on my Hauwei Mediapad/Tmobile Springboard.

Thanks for this!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] MossyTC:
What if Titanium Backup has the same problem?

I tried deleting the /data/data/com.appname folder, that didn't work. Tried to install again and got "Package file is invalid" error.

Then I tried installing Titanium Backup and I get the "-24" error for that too!

I'm getting the same error for a quite a few apps now. Any ideas?

Update

Solved it by turning off Security in Lookout (an app that verifies that apps are safe to install, amongst other things). That allowed Titanium Backup to install and I was then able to use Titanium Backup to fix the problem with the other app.

I just found this out by searching through my root folder. I messed up by restoring data for an app that I wasn't installed and that's when I got error code -24. I then searched in the root folder for ding(lisch), which is how Tasker is called, and I saw a folder in data/data. I deleted that and error code -24 was no more. I wish I would've found this earlier though.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jawiler:
Thanks, that did it!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fluid_head:
I've followed these instructions, clearing orphan data in TB, and deleting the Google account and adding it back(clearing data too for PlayStore) and I still can't get the folders to delete in data/data. in ES File Manager, I get error:39, and in Root Explorer it says delete failed. Idk what else to try and still have 5 of my favorite apps I cannot install from the PlayStore nor restore from TB(it just hangs and never installs). ~sigh~

edit: I was able to correct this issue by formating data on sdcard within Philz. That erased all the leftover app stuff in the phone, erase the internal memory from my understanding. If you choose this option, do back up any pics, files and TB info saved in internal storage to your extsdcard. I was then able to download those select apps again from the playstore, and no error -24.

Thanks for the above. I usually use Root Explorer, but that was the app giving me the "24" error when attempting to reinstall - lol. Could not find anything until I followed the above instructions with ES File Explorer.

Thanks also to the OP
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Shoaib1247:
How did you resolve that. I faced a prob yesterday. When trying to restore an app via TB on new custom ROM it stucked. Restarted and Removed the Titanium Backup of that app. Now on fresh installing the app from Play store it shows the "......-24" error. There is no app file in data/data.

I am rooted with TWRP 2.6.... recovery..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheWaddler:
Thanks for this! But I have some apps that I would prefer not to loose the app data. So is there a way to keep the data for the app, but eliminating the error 24?? Maybe moving the data/data folder, reinstalling, then overwriting? Any ideas would be appreciated.

Help!

I am having the same problem with the error code 39. I want to install kik, but is not letting me anymore. It gives me the error 24 code and i have tried the es file explorer method and the TB but just. How did you manage to fix this error. Or what exactly do you mean by formatting your sd card within Philz. Is that an app? What is philz? Sorry i really want to download kik because i used it to communicate with my family back in mexico. I would really apreciate it if you could help me. Thank you!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Fluid_head:
Philz is the recovery I use. A personal tweaked verion of ClockWorks I do believe, many use TWRP also. But, there is an option to format the internal phone memory. Get's rid of a lot of left over things from other ROMS, and lots of flashing. Once I did that, I was able to do a CLEAN flash of the ROM, no left ofter bits of stuff and after setting it up, had no other issues with installing apps.

First your must root your phone, and then download file explorer which can access root folder such as "rootexplorer" afterthat you can get to data\data.

Did a full backup before trying Hyperdrive 17.1. Got the "-24" error on the first app I tried to restore. Said screw-it and went back to recovery. My TWRP 2.7.1.0 failed on restoring Data from the backup. Killing the /data/data folders helped me get SMS & Backup Pro back up. TB showed "0" for the orphaned data batch. Royal PITA. This type of thing should never happen. This is my 1st encounter across 5-6 phones; dozens of flashes each.

Seems permissions got hosed for /data/data. Wasn't getting cleared by TWRP wipe.

Another way is to delete orphaned app data using Titanium backup. I don't know what occurred to get me to this situation but the apps would not re-install. I was unable to find the correct /data/data folder.

Open titanium backup > menu > batch actions... (under general) > Remove orphan data (USE WITH CAUTION) under Manipulate data > [select apps to delete data for]

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mike99:
Hi,

I am on the latest available software. All of the sudden, got the black screen with red edges at the periphery. Reboot and battery pull did not help. Would recur as soon as phone boots up. So I restored to factory settings, which solved it.

Now my phone shuts down as soon as battery goes down to 60% or so. I have to plug it in, then I can turn it back on, and it shows there is stiill more than 50% charge left. So my phone now needs to be charged every 2-3 hours with any usage. It is 1 year old.

Any ideas? Do I need to buy a new battery, or is this more serious issue (with phone itself)? I do not have the insurance, so taking it to the store is going to be a bit expensive.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Thanks

Sincerely,
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] F3L1XZS:
Check your battery, it most likely has gone bad. For some reason, when this phone is about a year old, the battery will mess up.

How to check if battery is bad:

Take it out, spin it on the table. If it doesn't really spin, it's fine. If it continues to spin, the battery is definitely going bad.

I'm saying this because my phone battery messed up back in August, while my dad's E4GT got messed up last week.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] aman1127:
I have the same thing. Lemme guess, the only guaranteed way to turn it on is to have it start while plugged in right?
