Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

[HV]

I've checked the web for similar posts, but I don't have any errors
thrown out by logcat. The signature is intact and there is enough
memory. Here's what I'm running:

./adb install test.apk
216 KB/s (4157173 bytes in 18.740s)
pkg: /data/local/tmp/test.apk
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INSUFFICIENT_STORAGE]

Here's the logcat output:

D/AndroidRuntime( 2004):
D/AndroidRuntime( 2004): >>>>>>>>>>>>>> AndroidRuntime START

Finally, here's the memory details:

Any idea what could be wrong here? I'm stuck @ this now

There seem to be many issues that cause this particular error, many of them unrelated to storage.

check the device's error log/console.

For me, the solution was to reinstall the os on the device. :( you may get Away with just cleaning the user data or something less severe.

If installing an apk off the SD card, might be a file permissions issue.
I don't know if its still the case, but with earlier versions of
Android, if it cannot access the apk due to file permissions, it will
report the "insufficient storage" error during installation.

something like this might solve it --

chown adb:adb test.apk
chmod 777 test.apk

rt

Thanks for your responses

@JP, yes it seems that it's actually not related to memory
@rt, I've already tried that. I've even cleaned up by /data folder and
given full permissions, but that doesn't help

That said, I'm not able to remove any apps (either thru adb uninstall
com.android.xxx) or via the Settings->Applications->Manage
Applications. This points to some basic issue with the Android build,
not sure what it is though at this point.

I have had the same problem. Rebooting the phone "solved" it.

is there a detailed description of what exactly adb install does? like
where exactly it copies the libraries (I know this goes into the /data/
data/com.abcd.xyz, .xml & so forth. I just wanna try doing that
manually and see if that helps
