google play package file is invalid - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

When I try to download or update my apps over my WiFi it keeps giving me a package file invalid, I tried uninstalling the updates for the play store along with clearing the cach and also went into recovery and wiped cach there as well but it still won't work. It seems it only works if I turn off WiFi but I can't update my apps over that since I only have 2GB

Package file is invalid & Insufficient storage available :(

Hi, I'm on Foxhound's Revolver Ocelot ROM and I keep getting these two messages whenever I try to download anything from the Play market;
Package file is invalid & Insufficient storage available
I cannot download a single app from the Play market.
Please someone help me to resolve this, preferably without a factory reset.

Update
I've wiped cache and dalvick in recovery, but still the issue remains.
I've also wiped cache and data in Google Play Market and Download Manager, but error is still there.
Help, someone.

Try to download apps using another network connection. Sometime it many be a temporary network issue. Also try these methods http://www.thespicygadgematics.com/2011/12/fix-android-package-file-is-invalid.html
try what MyLifeRocks10 said: "go into either the /system/app/ or /data/app/ directory and delete the odex file that has the same name as the respective .apk"
I'm trying to download Sports Car Challenge and am getting the same problems.
First it was insufficient storage space, so I rebooted, same problem. Then I unmounted sdcard, app cannot be installed in default location, so I remounted sdcard now I get package file invalid.
AAARRGGHHHH !
I've tried clearing cache of google play store but no difference.
I am running standard XWLPG firmware with CF-root.
Solved. Sort of.
I've spent two days prowling the web searching for solutions for the "package file invalid" error. My problem was that maps would not restore from a backup or install from the market. I did one of everything in an attempt to solve it, I'm pretty sure. Since it looks like the cache is simply jammed up, preventing the install of large Google apps, I used a Titanium Backup filter to list all my apps that reside on the phone rather than on the SD card. I uninstalled a few of the bigger ones (actually just three of the biggest) and then went to the market to install maps. Came through without a problem. Strangely, using Titanium again I was able to restore all those apps I'd uninstalled to make room for maps. I have no idea why that worked – it seems spatially impossible – but for now, at least, problem solved. What a total hair-puller the invalid package error is.
Hi.I have a problem..

[Q] Play Store Problem : No Connection. How to fix!?

The Play Store displays no connection even with wifi. Already tried wiping dalvik cache, cache partition. Also tried force closing and clearing data from Google Play Services, Play Store, Google Service Framework. Help!!
Not enough information, your Play app could be corrupt, app settings, ROM or Google account.
Try logging into Google play on the website first to check the account works, then un-install Play app, re-install without settings, last try factory reset/reflash ROM.
It could be really simple or very terminal, like you've disabled a service or corrupted your ROM.
extra info
Google play account works on website. Tried signing out and can't sign back in - "Couldn't establish a reliable connection". Google play v3.10.14. How do you uninstall google play app?
Have you tried clearing the cache of google play services and google play in the application mananger ?

found a better solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset or device wipe. just delete the hosts file in root/etc/, by using (total commander) app.then reboot ur device and run play store and enjoy. Make a copy of the "hosts" file just incase .
I hope it works for u guys , cuz it's really frustrating error.

Deleting the hosts file and rebooting worked for me too. Thank you! :good:
AdFree
When using a rooted phone and you used Freedom for free in-game purchases, and as a result your play store won't connect, it's due the host file as stated in previous comments by others. To get rid of this problem, simply revert your host file and download the new host (both in the adfree app). This should fix the problem, hope it helps
Wrong Gapps version
After trying all solutions posted in this thread, I realized that the whole problem was that I had flash the wrong version of the Google Apps for the android version.
You can find which is the right one for your CM in the CyanogenMod Wiki. Sorry, I can't add the link now, it is my first link.
Fixed mine by realizing that somehow my system date and time were wrong.

try this: http://gizmostorm.com/how-to-fix-package-file-is-invalid-error-on-google-play-store/
In case above steps didn’t worked for you
Boot your device into recovery.
Clear cache partition.
Head over to Advance options.
Clear Dalvik cache.
Simply reboot your droid.
Try Play Store once again and probably you will end up with success in installing any apps and games without any error.

[CM] Unfortunately google play store has stopped

Hello,
Yesterday, i was downloading an app and i canceled it killing the donwnoalding manager.
So i reinstalled it later but my WiFi stopped and this same app stop being downloaded.
Today i cant open the play store, i have reflashed it and i dont kown what to do ...
I also delete the app data, deleted the app cache and wipe cache and dalvik.
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english
You could try uninstalling the Google play updates or find the apk of the version you have and install that over the top of the 'broken' one.
Just a suggestion.

Google Play Store Insufficient Storage

I have this issue with playstore where it says insufficient storage even when I have loads of sufficient space avaliable.
I have tried clearing cache and data of google play services and google play store app, I have tried clearing dalvik cache from recovery, I have factory reset my phone.
All these methods except factory resetting works sometimes. Factory reset works everytime. But the problem works again after a few days.
Do anyone of you guys have permanent solution?????

Method 1 of 4: Using the Lucky Patcher App
The Lucky Patcher app is one way on how to fix insufficient storage available error on android phones. Lucky Patcher apk is actually a third party app to crack/patch paid Google play apps. Your device must be rooted to be able to use lucky patcher.
1.Download Lucky Patcher apk
2.Place lucky patcher apk into your SD card and install it using any file manager you prefer.
3.Run it and then press menu key and Proceed to Troubleshooting.
4.Choose "Remove fixes and backups" and then finally reboot your device to fix this awful error.
After this, the insufficient storage available bug will be no more. This can be done every time the bug appears and it will allow you to install any application you intended to have on the phone.
Try to clear data from the play store in the application manager. If that doesn’t work, clear it again along with Google services framework. You’ll need to sign in to your Google account again.
