Root INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES Error message

[ne0lyfeism]

So my News and Weather stopped updating for some bizarre reason - I initially had it set to refresh every hour, but it wasn't doing it anymore. So like any good rooter, I removed the GenieWidget.apk file and tried to reinstall it only to get the following error:

C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\Desktop\Droid\Froyo>adb install -r GenieWidget.apk
2831 KB/s (1313779 bytes in 0.453s)
        pkg: /data/local/tmp/GenieWidget.apk
Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]

I'm using the GenieWidget.apk from Fab's NexBeastFRF57011 ROM.. anyone have any ideas?

 

[ne0lyfeism]

Oh, I and happened to see that the "com.google.android.apps.genie.geniewidget" file is still listed in Manage Applications but not entirely sure how to delete this file as I'm guessing this will probably allow me to reinstall the app..

thats a system app. You would be better off just doing adb push geniewidget.apk /system/app


Since you are on froyo its a lot easier to get that to work in recovery

For some reason froyo doesnt like adb push and adb pull

 

[ne0lyfeism]

How would I get this to work in recovery?

 

[OMJ]

Same as you would in the os just make sure you mount system. In cw its under partitions and spr I think its mount options

 

[ne0lyfeism]

So I'd mount system in SPR (which is the recovery I have) and then, in theory, I'd be able to use adb commands via a command line?

For the record, several people (myself included) are having this problem with assorted ROMs. I'm trying to get in touch with a friend who hasn't rooted to see if this is a problem for her as well. I'm thinking it's a problem with Google's servers instead of an app or ROM issue.

 

[ne0lyfeism]

correct

Thanks OMJ - Will give it a shot and get back to you. For what its worth, I think I'm only going to use the news part of this widget, haha - found an awesome weather widget replacement

Yeah? I had initially done a search, more so for the error I was getting rather than the widget having stopped working, and didn't see anything on my error specifically. Once I load the apk back on my phone, I'll let you know if its still having the same issue.

Thanks for the heads up though!

 

[esmith818]

Widespread issue apparently resolved now.

 

[ne0lyfeism]

Good to hear.. and OMJ, your suggestion worked. Mounted System in SPR and used the push command without any issues.

Thanks!
