Nexus 5 - cant install nethunter.apk

[Warlord711]

After installing Nethunter.zip, i tried to install the .apk

I had some fragments of a older nethunter installation, but the Nethunter App seems to be gone - its not listed under Android->Apps.

If i try to uninstall i get error, if i try to install, i also get error.

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_UPDATE_INCOMPATIBLE]
Uninstall:
Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

I tried to find traces/artifacts or anything::

Thats all i get.

Ok, i fixed the problem myself.
Even with no Nethunter App visible on phone or within the Apps Section, it seems that there are some artifacts on the device.

Since i had no idea about the internal package name, i used a adb logcat session.
Whilte logcat was running, i tried to install the latest.apk

adb install latest.apk

On the logcat, you will find a message like this:

PackageManager: Package com.offsec.nethunter signatures do not match the previously installed version; ignoring!

So i could use those information to call adb uninstall

adb uninstall com.offsec.nethunter

It succeed.

So i could call

adb install latest.apk

again, which also succeed.

Hi @Warlord711,

Sorry for this issue, was our fault, we signed the apk with different keys.... thats what really caused the update problem.

Thank you for the reporting and the provided solution. Well done.
