Cannot sideload apk - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I cant seem to side load any apk. It wont allow me to press install but I can press cancel. Any ideas?

Cleared package manager cache and Fix permissions worked for me.

Thanks. I'm not rooted so I guess I will have to factory reset. This is really odd. Never had this happen on any of my android devices so it got me stumped.

I rooted and flashed cwm. Clearing dalvik and cache along with change permission didnt fix it. Had to factory reset and was able to side load. Gonna restore my files back via TB and hopefully it wont happen again.

A different browser? Not sure what you mean but I used ES File Explorer and Astro File Manager to side load.

Does it say something about the file not being signed as the reason for it not working?
I received that error, I used Caulkin's complete format [including system, boot] and then re-flashed rom/kernel etc and it worked fine.
I don't know if there's a simpler way, but that worked for me.
Yea it says package is not.signed correctly....anyone know a simpler way im sure.formatting n reinstalling is not the only option

If you have Titanium backup you could possibly clear data and uninstall via that and then try to install from the Market.
Cleared data and uninstalled the old flash player using TB but now it says incorrect update while trying to install flash via market

rebooting phone after uninstalling on flash always works for me and you should try installing the hex fixed flash found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794512&highlight=hex+fixed+flash it allows hulu to work.
it worked...after uninstalling, reboot, and it installed fine from the market.

Strange root problem

So, I was fully rooted (4.0.4 Stock) I just went in to try to remove another system app, using "System App remover" and it tells me that it cannot mount system R/W, so I go into root explorer, and go to system, and click the R/W button, and nothing.
System app remover was working fine before, as I have removed apps.
Any ideas?
**UPDATE**
I just restored back to when I KNOW I had root, and it is doing the same thing.

Maybe this time you denied SuperUser permissions?
Restoring nandroid backups has been nuking permissions for months now. You'll have to wipe and fresh install.

What about Fix permissions? would that fix it?
**Edit**
Interesting..............fix perms will fix it, but you can only go in once (system app remover), if you go out, and back in, it gives the same error

When you say wipe and fresh install, how would I do that with Stock 4.0.4?

You don't need to fresh install. Grab the superuser flashable zip from androidsu's website (get the ARM one)
http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
Boot to recovery and flash it. Fixed it for me.

If your recovery isn't stock, you should be fine. If it is, you'll probably have to Odin a custom one on your phone and go from there.

Wiping everything and then installing. Darkside super and cache wipes first, then the ROM. Factory reset before you install can't hurt either.

Deleted my clock/alarm apk..

Well I was deleting stuff to clean up and ended up deleting it by mistake. But I downloaded the apk and it wont install, I even pushed it to the application folder in the system part of the phone and it doesnt work. What do I do?
Also if I factory reset do I lose root? Im on stock jb rom and kernel, just rooted. Thanks guys

You shouldn't loose root by a factory reset, how did you install the rom if you flashed it the.apk can be taken out of the zip file using root explorer or an app like root explorer the apk you downloaded may not be compatible I'm going too upload my apk and ill post the link in a second you can't just click to install the apk has too be put into system/app folder

Don't factory reset, because it won't fix your problem. Factory reset doesn't touch the system partition, where the file was deleted from.
Make sure after you copy the file to the system partition, then set permissions for the file, otherwise it won't work. Using root explorer, set permissions so that they are the same as all the other apps in the apps folder.
Then reboot and that should fix your problem.
Thanks guys, I installed using rootexplorer and it worked!

Insufficent storage space - SuperSU and titanium

These are the only 2 apps saying insufficent storage space when I attempt to update them... running TBGSIII 5.0 and application manager says I have a gig free... Anyone else seen this recently?
Tried the unmount sd and it didn't fix it.

You would have many other issues with that. Did you try clearing the app data and clear Dalvik cache and cache?

Uninstall then reinstall. Make a nandroid first incase it won't let you reinstall them.

its likely cwm backups. reboot to recovery and delete your old backups. the phone can't see those... or you can do it from a root shell/adb.
Try lucky patcher and click troubleshooting/remove fixes and backups or if that didn't solved it... Clear davlik cache...

Installing Linaro 10.2

I know this shouldn't necessarily be in this section but I've already PM'd someone and asked on the original thread for help and have gotten no response yet. I understand people may be busy though too. At any rate, can anyone give and exact instructions on how to flash this ROM? They're not in the ROMs OP so...yeah, I'm lost.

I would do a factory reset in TWRP then go to advanced and wipe system. Flash ROM, flash gapps wipe cache and dalvik one last time the reboot.

Use same fresh install method listed in any of my rom threads... I'm not sure about restoring messages I never do it but system data is usually a no no if you have issues with titanium download super su update your binary with the recovery method then go into titanium preferences and click the back up folder location option and change it from sdcard0 to legacy it will ask you if you want to move your back ups say yes then restart titanium and world will be right again

Did u factory reset in recovery at least twice ? Also it may not hurt to wipe everything twice EXCEPT INTERNAL STORAGE.... Then reinstall ROM and gapps
