Package File Invalid Issues On CM9...HELP!

**Ashley0408** · 08-07-2012, 01:14 PM

'Hello,
I have an LG Optumus V My fiance recently put on CM9 for me I was able to get apps etc. for a while now it just started giving me "package file invalid" I had CM7 in the past & had this same issue & was able to fix it with the MarketFix app, well i tried it this time with no luck & yes i have tried the clear cache, data, yada yada yada & that does NOT work.
anyone else find a fix for this beside either of those things? Im not sure if theres something different i could do to fix it since i have the new CM9 which is still buggy & its the beta version.
help? thank you!!

upgrade to tdms latest b2 nightly or bobz latest rc2... full wipe/format... sd/ext partion is needed (if you havent already)...

i am trying out bobz cm9 and i get "package file invalid" when trying to install several programs and "application not installed" when trying to install a custom keyboard and some other programs. i have the same problem with quattrimus cm9. i do not have this problem with cold as ice. i do have an sd-ext partition. i kinda wish i could get rid of the built-in sd-ext scripts so i could use link2sd.

I had the same problem on my Optimus V when i did a fresh flash.

In your recovery Wipe Cache like normal.
Now im not sure which recovery you are using but in mine the Wipe Dalvik Cache
is under the Advanced menu so if your recovery has that, try looking for it there.

When you reboot it will take longer than usual to start so don't be scared, but by wiping both of these, google play will work right.

If you are still having problems then just reflash your rom.

remove them from the zip before flashing using gedit/7zip/etc... (system/etc/init.d)

sorry but I dont understand any of this

my phone was just redone so i am Not looking to have to redo it over again
My fiance just put CM9 in it(the beta version) & things were going good till the package file invalid started. I need an easy fix without having to redo my phone or reload everything....Please read my first post to what i have tried.

Use my backup root. It will backup all apps and let you do a batch restore when wiped. I use SMS backup as well.
What recovery do you have? I know you don't wanna wipe,but it's the only way that I know of to fix this.

I still don't understand. Why is it " needed "? Isn't ONLY for those who use mire than 179 MBs

Still happening to me. I have no idea what recovery i have? my fiance did all this for me & would not have the time to do it right now. All i know is i have the new CM9 the beta version that is out & i could not redo this myself.
