Not sure how you rooted but I went from a stock ics with root, unrooted, and now got jelly bean installed through t-mobile ota. Just follow that link I told ya about in my thread to get rid of root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Either way. From settings it will reboot recovery and run it there.

Check post 3 in the firmware thread for the stock recovery coming back.

Too much to type all over again!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Chicago281:
Everything is up and running smoothly. I have 4.1.1 with my root. Thanks for all the help man! If you are ever in the Chicago area I owe you some lunch and a few beers.

Lol!

Thanks for the offer!

Glad I could help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
So, I saw the ad for this weekend in chicagoland; free Samsung phones with new service..

After calling 4 stores to confirm that the Gnote2 was included, I have gotten different answers from the stores I called.

Some say it does NOT include the Gnote2, others said it did.

does anyone know for sure if it includes the gnote 2?

thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Asquared:
Check here for some additional info:

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/11/full...-galaxy-note-ii-on-sale-this-weekend-as-well/

No one knows for sure until the promotion starts, but supposedly the Note 2 will be available for a reduced price -- not free.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bapurado:
i asked my friend who works for tmobile as a sales rep and he said note 2 is not included but will be on sale.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
its hard to figure out what the note will actually cost; its once price for the "classic" plan, and another price for the "value" plan..

I guess I should wait until Friday and go into a store to see for sure..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] bapurado:
not gonna lie. if it ends up being free or like a 100 bucks after upgrade, im gonna burn my tmobile store down. being a first adopter sucks. lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
yeah, I'm usually the one on the bad end of the stick too...trying to avoid that this time!

I kinda hate to leave ATT after only 8 months, but it will be a pain trying to get one from them for even 299, which, I could sell my note one for, at least, on Ebay...

Plus, developement is still pretty slow for the note 2, and its great for the note one...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Markor13:
I saw the commercial last night, they mentioned just about every Samsung phone except the Note 2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
its going to be 199 after mail in rebate. If you factor in 3 months till you get your rebate, it still makes sense to get the rebate, pay the 200 dollar migration fee to value and you still save money over the 24 months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
You only save about $40 doing what you are suggesting. The 3 months on a classic plan cost $60 more than a value plan.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] haha438:
There is a news article on T-mo news' website (i would post the link but since i am a new user, i can't) stating that the note 2 is on sale, but just a different offer from the free after rebate sale that other samsung phone is getting.

And I just asked a sales person at a local t-mobile store in southern california and talked to a customer support on t-mobile's live chat. The store's sales person told me the news is correct and the live chat support didn't deny it either (i didn't ask directly about the sale with the live chat).

However, if you asked anytime earlier than today (i'm assuming anytime before noonish), you might get a different response. This is because the sales person at the store told me that he just received it not too long ago (i went to the store at 3:15pm ish today--nov 14th), so this was new to them as well
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dylyxcore:
I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and the Note 2 is eligible but how this "promotion" works is you pay full pop no matter what phone or contract, and the rest / savings are all mail in rebates... I just bought the Note 2 from Firefly and I think I'm going to save the headache and eat the $100, but that's just my take on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] robl45:
you pay 20 dollars a month extra for 20 months. thats 400 dollars extra on the classic plan as any fool would switch to value after 20 months with no migration fee. you pay 40-60 dollars extra while you stay on the classic plan and wait for the rebate depending on if it takes 2 or 3 months. You pay 200 migration fee. So you save 140-160 dollars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
I mean you only save $40 by buying phone on "classic plan then switching to value plan" vs just buying phone on the value plan from the start.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
Does anyone know if the off the contract price will be lower as well?

Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] predation:
Nope. Actually, off contract went from $650 to $700. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Afishl1:
That's not really true, that's what I thought as well, but there's still a mail in rebate or you can order from their national number and still get it for $650+tax

Sent from the Jelly Way Galaxy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] predation:
it is true. they're just making you go through a stupid rebate process now...

lame....

i got offered the phone for $220 (includes $50 rebate) to re-up my contract...

hmmm... gonna call again and see if i can get it for $200 with a contract re-up and then apply the rebate.

lol $150....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] redshirt72:
An admittedly stupid question, but let's say the Note 2 is part of the deal and one waits til they get the 300 dollar rebate and then take the ETF and switch to prepaid=Note 2 for 200 dollars? Possible? Consequences?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] whatsitsnamenow:
No consequence as long as you pay the etf.

Don't know how you get $200 for note 2 though. Cheapest without including any monthly plans or activation is $400 already.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] redshirt72:
I think the note 2 is roughly 300 with the unlimited classic plan, which one would get back in the form of a rebate within a couple months if the Note 2 is included in this Friday/Saturday sale. ETF is 200 dollars(since I am on the 30 dollar 5GB prepaid Tmo plan through Walmart with my Gnex and would go back to that with the Note 2), so that's where I pulled the Note 2 for 200 figure from. Just idle thoughts.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Qewbicle:
I don't know the cause. I have noticed that it has happened on different devices, there have been assumptions if it's because of a specific kernel or rom, although it may be, I beg to differ. I feel it is happening during the Android Upgrading Apps # of # process.

I noticed that this error pops up on most of the apps that I had installed, but are not there after my update. So far with me, it happened only to my paid apps, but not all of them.

When the app disappears, android thinks it's missing, but some files think it is still installed.

Regularly when you install an app over itself, there is a notice telling you that the application info will remain. That's where the problem lies once an app mysteriously disappears. Because part of it is still installed.:mad:

Go to

/data/data/

and search for your

com.application-address.whatever-it-may-be

Some of them you can tell what they are just by the names, the others, google-em.

If you wish to keep the information that it contains for the app, I recommend making a copy of it first.:good:

Delete it

Install the application, it'll work, trust me. :fingers-crossed:

Now replace it with your copy.

Done. :cool:

Stop factoring resetting if you don't want to. Of course, if you have a lot missing, it might be better. :crying:

If someone can automate this process by making something check the com.address to installed apps, that would be awesome. :highfive:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TwinkyOfHope:
This totally worked. Thanks bro!

I was setting up my Nexus 4, and this was Tune In Radio Pro was the last app and wouldn't install, I kept getting that stupid -24 error.

Saved me from doing a factory reset!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jurassic512:

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] maxlax1592:
Didn't work for me. I'm using the Skyrocket CM 10 and gapps didn't flash youtube, maps, or gmail. I searched the phone directory and deleted each file. I still get the same error. Should I reflash gapps?

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] jurassic512:
are you looking in /sdcard/data/data or /sdcard/android/data?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mr-dunbar:
exactly how do i go about getting to the data/data on my phone? i'm stuck there... thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pnyboy27:
It didn't work for me. =( I'm trying to install an app I used to have before. I don't have it anymore and was trying to reinstall it.

Thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] goldenninja:
Stuck

I'm also stuck. I was able to go to sdcard/data, but there is no second /data folder.:confused:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Largamelion:
I have this issue with Swiftkey and there is no 'data/data/' folder, checked both root and sdcard and hidden files are shown ...

Edit: Configured ES File Explorer to mount partition as writable and gave root access -> files were there now and deleting the one with Swiftkey solved my problem.

Thx
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] johnyfrol:
Working!

Thanx, it worked for me too!

I am on X8 with CM10 from NaA!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] unknown_anonymous:
Anyone one you know anything about android..!?!?!?!

U need to root first...!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] krkeegan:
Worked for me as well.

You need to use something like ES File Browser with Root access to get to /Data/Data
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tmallory:
I'm running into this issue with a bunch of apps that got lost when flashing a newer CM10.1 nightly. I can't access those folders in data/data since ES File Manager is one of the apps that gets this error!

Is there any other way to fix this? I can't install anything, not even Chrome :crying:
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SlimAndwios:
It's worked for me, too!

Someone maybe didn't understand the meaning of the thread creater. You must have the root access. Then, open Root Explore and go to "data/data" NOT "sdcard/data/data"
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] gastonw:
Yeah, that's awesome, but how do you expect to get to that folder without a file explorer? because you cannot install one.....
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] hunyadia:
Thx mate, perfect!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] tt100b:
Figure it out?

I've got the same problem. Root explorer is one of the apps I didn't get back and ES won't give me access to data/data, and I am rooted BTW

---------- Post added at 06:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

In case it might help someone else I thought I'd pass along what I just did to fix the problem. I booted into recovery and found the com.speed.... file for root explorer that way and deleted it and then rebooted. I then was able to load and install root explorer from the play store and now I can sit back and delete all the rest of the apps that won't install correctly...

I guess I could have done it from recovery also but I forgot to write them all down before I rebooted!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpectroPro:
So, as someone else posted...what if WITH root access, there is NO data/data folder... I own MyBackup Pro and can't install it again...What sucks, is that I have a full backup (does it nightly) using that app....and I can't install my back up because I can't install the app anymore.

So, any ideas???

Greg

And yes, same as others...getting this error on every app I own...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Phil.FreakStyler:
It mostly means the apk is not compatible with your specific device^^

You might take another costum rom
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] SpectroPro:
Ok.. This was interesting... I enabled file manager with root....still didn't see the the data/data folder

I used 4EXT to FIX PERMISSIONS. Once the phone rebooted, data/data was there. Deleted the folders of the apps that wouldn't install, all is great now!!!!! :)

Thanks for this thread!

No root, no way out ?

Hi all,

I came to this thread with just the same error installing Google Currents after having it installed b4.

The thing is I just reset flash counter, went back to stock and unrooted cause I was having freezing troubles with my SGS 3, so I was warried that I had to take it to customers' service on my warranty.

Now, my question is, there isnt any way out this install problem that doesn't require root access, cause I'd like to stay all stock and un-rooted for a few days to keep and eye on my other issue ..

Thank you all.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Lanaka:
Ok, I personally don't know the specific cause either, but this happened to me right after I installed a chime for Chime Time by Hyperfine Softwares, then realized that I haven't install Chime Time itself yet. So I uninstalled the Stanbrook chime, installed Chime Time app next, then TRIED to reinstall Stanbrook. Yup, "Unknown error code during application install: -24". What's silly was that all of the other chimes installed ok (probably because I didn't try to 'preinstall' those).

Sent an email to Hyperfine Software and a "Steve" replied with the following:

QUOTH

This is a system issue related to Google Play. I suggest you search the web for "Android error 24" and find which scenario and solution applies to your situation.

QUOTH

VERY helpful email, don't you think? And this is for a PAID application, mind you. Okok, PAID chime for a free application. Did a google check and got swamped by tons of results, most of which was useless or irrelevant. Finally decided to do a search here in good ol' XDA, and what do you know? BING! Hit the paydirt on first try! (Yes, this thread.)

I'm really pissed as when I followed the instructions, it turns out the problem was with an EMPTY folder. Specifically, "/data/data/hyperfine.Stanbrook" folder. This is in a system area, which normally means if you don't have root access, you're screwed and can only factory reset and reinstall EVERYTHING again. I deleted the !@%&* folder and then tried to install Stanbrook chime again. It worked this time!

PS: to be accurate, the hyperfine.Stanbrook folder had another empty folder inside, forget the name off hand. Of course, it too got deleted along with the parent hyperfine.Stanbrook folder.

PPS: I personally not sure if you can access this area if you're not rooted, I usually root a new phone within a week of getting my hands on it.

I just wrote back to "Steve" pointing out that the problem was with an empty folder. A folder that would normally be inaccessible to non-rooted user means most unrooted people probably would have to do a factory reset to fix this problem. (One of the biggest reason to root a device, aside from being able to Titanium and Nandroid). I also pointed out that a PAID app should not have to require user intervention of this type to fix this.

Figured to post and share my experience with this issue, with the faint hopes that it'd help whomever has the exact same problem (in particular, with Hyperfine's Chime Time).

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Severus Snape:
An easier way

Titanium backup has a function just for this. It's"Remove orphaned data (use with caution)" does exactly this! It will remove all the data of uninstalled apps (or just the selected) which is exactly what we want here. Didn't see anyone else saying it so I thought I'd mention it.

Hey I am facing the same problem while installing WeChat on my Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. It was showing "Unknown error code during application installation "-24" " I tried using this method and exploring via root explorer. But I was unable to find the folder of the application. There wasn't any folder by that name at all. Please help me out! And thanks in advance!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] edditnyc:
Not familiar with the app but look up the developers name (Tencent Technology or Shenzhen Company Ltd). Maybe it's listed under that?

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Kma4444:
Yep, Titanium Backup, go to "menu", under "general" pick "batch actions" then "manipulate data" and "Remove orphan data (USE WITH CAUTION)" I have a new Nexus 4 and was having trouble installing Swiftkey. I couldn't find the file to delete under data/data, there were none with Swiftkey in them, must have been there though under a different name as Titanium Backup had exactly one orphan data file and it was for Swiftkey. It deleted it and it then installed first try.

Thank YOU!!!!!!!!

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] kcoop99:
EXACTLY what I was looking for!!!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] denmalley:
For those having trouble seeing data/data in es file explorer, you have to grant the app access to that location first. I'm not sure if there's an easier way, but here's how I did it:

Tap the icon in the upper left (globe/device)

Choose "tools"

Choose "root explorer"

Choose "mount R/W"

Here is where you are granting read/write permissions to different paths in your system (RO means "read only," RW mean "Read/write")

For the path "/" change from RO to RW, select "Ok"

Now go back to the globe/device menu and select "local" and select "/ device"

From there you can navigate to "data/data"

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] lilfleck:
This didn't work for me. I tried removing all instances of "bw" "levelup" "beautiful" (beautiful widgets).

Everything was working fine until I tried restoring data from Tibu. I think some of the data got corrupted when I tried moving it from the sdcard/0/0/ dir to sdcard/0/.

I realized this when I tried opening up one of my apps like Gentle Alarm, it force closed and then removed itself from the app drawer... Beautiful widgets did this too, except it stayed in the app drawer. I uninstalled, tried reinstalling, same thing. Removed folders in sdcard and the system via ES Explorer (using root). Same thing when I try to install. Tried to fix permissions, same thing.

I'm out of options here besides reflashing. But I'm afraid of this issue happening. I hope its just because of the bad data from tibu, otherwise, I have a much bigger issue.

Good for Enterprise

Hi All

I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 V3.Model: GT-P5200

I get the error when i try and install Good for Enterprise - Unknown error code during application install: "-24.

I cannot root my device and Good for Enterprise checks this. Device needs to stay factory standard.

Interesting thing when tried to install it the very first time i got package is invalid.

After that if I try and re download and install I get error code 24

ACTIONS TAKEN.

1. Hard Reset device - Would not like to do this again. Factory restore.

2. Cleared cache

3. Deleted Google aco****, rebooted and re added

4. Deleted Android/Data/data Files.

i just don’t know what else to do anymore. Any advice would be great.
