I'm in a bit of a problem. You see I have a preinstalled youtube app on my phone. Normally, there's an update and so I wanted to make the preinstalled one up-to-date without keeping the older version so I uninstalled it using Link2SD. Now when I was about to reinstall youtube with the latest version, I keep getting an error. So now my phone is stuck without a YouTube app. I even tried sideloading but it still fails to install.

The error I'm having is

  • I don't see why you uninstalled the app in order to update it. Try the reinstall the app provided by the manufacturer.

  • @AlEverett That is just a screenshot of my screen. I posted this using my phone last night so it's kinda hard to embed and get the image link from dropbox.

  • @slybloty I uninstalled it so that a new fresh installation should get it installed to my SD card.

  • I recommend using Titanium Backup's "Integrate updates of system apps into ROM" feature instead, it's nice and simple.

Is your device rooted? If so you may use adb or any root supported file manager to manually remove it and re-install it from Play store.

I had the very same issue except for the reason that YouTube got messed up.

I recovered using Root Explorer (installed from Google Play) on my rooted phone.

I used the search function to look for youtube (search is case insensitive) and it came back with five files. I used multi-select and deleted them all. I rebooted the phone just in case and then I was able to install YouTube with no more errors.
