Google Play Sore Error (-505) -- Lollipop - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After updating to Lollipop on my Nexus 5, it restored all of my apps except for about 10. One of them is a widget that I use everyday called Simple Calendar Widget by MYCOLORSCREEN. When trying to download the app, it gives me the message "Unknown error code during application install: -505". It seems to download fine, but the message pops up during the install process. Anybody know about this issue or experiencing the same thing if you try to download this application? I also tried downloading the apk file online but that also fails to install. I can't find any info regarding this issue. Thanks.

I had this issue on certain apps as well. The dev of those apps needed to change something for it to work on Lollipop.

I've had this problem. Did a search with Google and it seems others are having this issue. Hopefully Google will have an update to fix.

Do a search in this forum. I replied with the cause and solutions. Was posted last week.

Code 505 is a permissions code. This typically means that the APK file already exists in your /data/app folder. You'll need to locate the APK files in question in the /data/app folder and remove them. You will need root to perform this action.
You came across this problem because you didn't do a wipe of your userdata partition when you jumped from Kitkat to Lollipop. I encountered the same issue because of that reason. I just ended up wiping and starting fresh as my phone hadn't been wiped since I got the device last November.

Are you sure? I flashed the factory image of Lollipop on my phone and it wiped everything. Afterwards, I had to also do a factory reset of my phone from the settings due to a storage issue. Why would that get left behind?
Edit: I checked (phone is rooted) and the app isn't in the /data/app folder

I spent an hour combing through Google group threads trying to get a real answer to this outstanding question. I was perplexed that only two applications of mine refused to install due to this error. The consensus was that the APK file was still there, or some remnants of data related to the application remained on the device that the Play Store service didn't like.
I ended up wiping my device twice:
Once by flashing both the userdata.img and cache.img files, which ended up giving me the storage issue bug on Lollipop. (Showing 16GB instead of 32GB)
Second by performing a factory reset from within the booted OS, which resolved the storage issue.
After that, everything was good to go. Have yet to encounter this error code again.

I just had to click install again after the error and it worked for me. It was a PITA.

Hm alright. Where does the apk file need to be in order to use the adb install command? I want to see which app is conflicting with.

as long as you have adb working it can be anywhere as long as you know the path
so adb install c:\path\to\file.apk
as it happens with terminal emulator i could download the apk seperately, with other apps i'd probably download on my tablet and pull it off that

You'd have thought people testing would have installed enough apps to come across it and if google knew about it in october why not fix it

I had this issue trying to install Rom Toolbox. I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and the issue went away, probably because Terminal Emulator is included in Rom Toolbox.

How I solved it
In bootloader mode I flash from the factory image userdata and cache, then I wipe Dalvik, data and cache in TWRP after the first boot I skip the setup just too full factory data reset, in the second boot, I set up everything normal, but instead of restoring from previous devices I set it up as a new device, then I manually download the app that was giving the error, it installed without a problem.
I know is a little too much for an app, but it works for me.

I'm currently having the issue everyone mentions, except I already have ROM Toolbox Pro and was trying to install Terminal Emulator. Terminal Emulator in ROM Toolbox currently FC's on Stock (rooted) 5.0.1. But I use other features, like the Rebooter that I don't wanna sacrifice for just Terminal Emulator haha. Wish they'd fix this issue permanently

I know, that's why you can't install jackpal terminal emulator if you have ROM toolbox installed as it uses the same permissions.
Although you should read up yourself because if you did, you'd know the terminal emulator in rom toolbox force closes on lollipop on the nexus 5.

I understand this is a old thread but I fixed it a way that wasn't mentioned in this thread. Just thought I'd share for anyone googling this issue and finding this. What I did was go into the guest account and uninstall the app that was causing the issue such as snapchat. The way I caused it in the first place was installing snapchat on aptoide which installed it on both my account and the guest account and I decided I didn't want snapchat anymore so I uninstalled it but it was still there on the guest account which caused the error 505 whenever I tried to reinstall snapchat.

Google Wallet for Verizon Galaxy S3

So I spent a lot of time trying to get this working, and I finally did and I figured I'd share how I did it. It works for me, and a user of Google + confirmed it too. It's pretty simple. Thanks to Dustin Evans on Google+ (https://plus.google.com/u/0/108019745978944993252/posts) and XDA user garner.
first, find your build.prop in /system. Please use Root Explorer, I'm not sure if other file browsers save it correctly. Mount Read/Write and long press on build.prop and hit "Open in text editor".
Change the following lines to look like this:
ro.product.model=SPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr
reboot after.
after that head here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1965895 and download the wallet apk. (not all the gapps, just the wallet apk). It should work!
Im running cm 10.1 but it also worked on cm 10.
also this is my first post, feedback?
EDIT: I know that there are other posts describing how to do this but I found that they either didn't work for me or involved more complex steps. I'm sharing this because i found it to be easier and completely successful.
You should have used the search function on here. Would have saved you tons of time trying to get it to work. Also you should be able to download the apk from the market once you change these settings inyour build.prop file as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1794727
Or you could just use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34896632 and it will change build.prop for you and install wallet!

thanks, but i knew that. i dont think you can just download it, as i did that and it didnt work so well. i know there are other methods, but those are sketchy and involve flashing a new recovery (the all in one installer). this is a more clean way that i got it to work.
just trying to share my experience
also this does not involve flashing anything
Nope, i changed the build.prop file, rebooted and it showed up in the market. Installed it and it works perfectly. The method i mentioned did say you to flash stuff, but that's with the touchwiz based roms. But it also does say pretty much do what you have said as well.
Insufficient privleges
I changed the build prop like shown and was able to download. But when app is ran it states that I have insufficient privileges for this system image. I am just running a rooted image of stock do I need to flash a new rom for it to work?

[Possible FIX Need Testers]Google A/C wipe fix on leaked 4.3 Samsung Note II Roms

My Google account was being wiped out in front of my eyes almost every other time i rebooted. After some thread reading and trial and error I finally figured it out. Its been about 18 hours and over 15 reboots (EDIT: Few days now ) either via reboot menu, wanamXposed module and adb, I have not lost my account so far.
This is still being tested, so affected users please test and comment how it worked for you.
There are hundreds of posts out there that tell you the fix is to be on Google play Store version 4.4.21 and many of them have reported that it works. Unfortunately many including me, were on the very same version and yet Google account was being wiped no matter what. Thats when i realized, it is not just being on 4.4.21, but having that version as a system app, instead of having the version installed as an update. The difference is, when you have version 3.x.x installed as a system app, which updates itself to 4.4.21, it does not update the original app, but instead installs updates in the /data partition. So seeing version 4.4.21 in the Playstore app 'About' settings does not mean anything.
Verify if you are on an affected release.
Go to Setting >> more >> Application Manager >> Downloaded. If you see 'Google Play Store' you may be affected.
Now go to the application managers "All" Section (swiping leftward from 'Downloads' section) and navigate to 'Google Play Store'
You will see the version number of your app. Next to it, you will see two buttons, One of them may be "uninstall updates" If you see this option, your version number means nothing. Don't be fooled by it, you have may 4.4.21 installed, but in your /data/app directory.
If the above was true, you have an older version of playstore installed as a system app, and have the latest version installed as an update over the old version in the /data partition.
Instructions
Flash GoogleWipeFix_Flash_CWM.zip from Clockworkmod.
PS: This really only removes your existing Google Play Store, flashes v 4.4.21 and clears data. You may as well flash it, nothing to loose.
Click Show content for Manual Instructions (Not needed if you chose to flash instead).
You do not need this if you flash using my zip. This is for Manual Testing only.
If you are not already on PlayStore version 4.4.21 then download version 4.4.21 and place in in your SDCard as /sdcard/Phonesky.apk
DOWNLOAD
Google Play Store 4.4.21
Instructions for shell users :
Code:
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
cp /system/app/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk.bkp
mv /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk.bkp
cp /sdcard/Phonesky.apk /system/app/Phonesky.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Phonesky.apk
reboot
Instructions for Root explorer users
Re-mount /system as read-write
Backup /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Backup and Delete /data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk (TIP: you may see warnings that PlayStore Stopped, Thats ok!)
Copy /sdcard/Phonesky.apk and overwrite /system/app/Phonesky.apk
Give the new apk appropriate read permissions to all. rw-r--r--
reboot

Troubleshooting help
If it does not work for you, it would be of great help if you could post below details.
What rom are you on?
Please check the following:
Go to application manager >> Google Play Store and tel me if you see the button "Uninstall updates" next to "Force Stop"
If you have "Uninstall updates" you need to click it, and then repeat the whole procedure again.
Do you have access to adb or terminal emulator app? if yes, please give me the output of the following.
Code:

I am using Tigra v.3 ROM, which has the 4.4.21 version as system app and still I had the Google account wiped yesterday after a reboot from Wanam Xposed.
So maybe your fix solves some problems, but in my case...
Thanks anyway!
My ROM users are already on 4.4.2.1 by default (removed everything related to old versions) and they still have account lost.
The problem is only in XXUEMI6, XXUEMJ2/5 don't have this problem.
Thanks for sharing
tried this on my n7105T
no i no longer get the force close / crash message
just no connection (like i was getting prior to trying a million other fixes)
including factory reset
I haven't been on the forums much lately but can't see anything about this - what is the bug exactly? All your google data being deleted on just the account being removed from the phone? Or something else entirely?

What do you mean by no connection? I am not sure if this will apply to your device since this caters specifically to Note 2 leaked roms.

If you are on one of the affected roms, after you reboot Google account is totally removed. As if it was never added. Its known to happen on Note 2 android 4.3 leaked MI6 rom

you can't install apps that have been signed by a different developer, and replace with the current one. metaphor, you have a girlfriend, but your trying to get another girl who looks, and smells like your current girl, but her name is different. Since your in a beta OS, you can definitely expect bugs.
have you tried Factory data reset? there may be residual files from previous OS.

If you have secure boot on disable it, restart your phone, try Again. Worked for me couple times
It's a vice versa situation. If your secure boot is on then disable it else vice versa. And reboot your phone and then install the app. It will surely install. Its not like you've a girlfriend situation?

you can't install apps that have been signed by a different developer, and replace with the current one. metaphor, you have a girlfriend, but your trying to get another girl who looks, and smells like your current girl, but her name is different. Since your in a beta OS, you can definitely expect bugs.
have you tried Factory data reset? there may be residual files from previous OS.

Go to settings-lock screen and security-and scroll till you see secure start up. If it's on disable it. Restart your phone and try to install again.

Reboot your phone and as soon as it starts up try to install it
I'm pretty sure you just can't, the only way to do it it's through root... unfortunately

I use ESFile Explorer to copy the new APK into the folder where the old APK is located - firstly delete the old app then replace with the new app (ensure the same name is used). Some apps are hard to find so I use BKDisabler to find the exact path of the APK I want to replace.
It worked for me as I replace the Device Maintenance App on my S8+ with a newer version off APKMirror
If still having issues, the method below may work too:
TAKE A BACKUP FIRST IN CASE IT GOES TITSUP
Download AromaFM here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646108&page=2 ((its a file manager that doesnt install on the phone, just runs in recovery)
Download the APK to are trying to update and put it either on an sd card or in the download folder on your phone: You will need to know where the current APK is located on your phone (usually apps are located in /data/app or /system/priv-app/ or system/app/ before going to the next step...... so for this example the APK is located in /system/priv-app/camera)
Reboot into TWRP Recovery
Install AromaFM
Go to your downloaded APK and either cut or copy it
Then navigate to the /system/priv-app/camera folder and delete the old APK then paste the new APK
Reboot
Now you should have the updated APK installed
Guys, what are you trying to solve here, he didn't even state which apk he is trying to install....

[GUIDE] Debloating and More (Fire HD 8)

This is for the Fire HD 8 8th generation rooted with xyz's exploit
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd...fire-hd-8-2018-downgrade-unlock-root-t3894256
I've seen a couple people run into problems with this so rather than have xyz's thread clogged I figured I'd
make a seperate thread just for this.
I've made an update to the debloat.zip so it can be flashed at any time rather than flashing after rooting
[seperate zip instead of a modifed finalize.zip ]
==Debloating==
DISCLAIMER : Per testing and input from other members, Amazon Apps will NOT be able to be reinstalled after flashing this. I've yet to figure out if this is a direct result of this script or due to the nature of xyz's exploit, either way
after rooting, do NOT expect to be able to use Amazon Apps (defeat's the purpose of this script anyways lol)
1. Download debloat.zip from here
2. Reboot to TWRP, and flash
3. Reboot to system and say goodbye to Amazon Bloatware
==Replacing FireLauncher==
1. Install a launcher of your choice (Tested with CPL and Nova Launcher)
2. Install Terminal Emulator
3. Run 'su' from terminal emulator and grant it root permissions, then type 'pm disable com.amazon.firelauncher'
4. Press the home button and your new launcher is ready to go !
Thanks to xyz for the amazing work :highfive:

Thanks for this! Will flashing this debloat.zip allow me to install and use the Amazon Prime Video or the Alexa app from the Playstore later on or will it stop the app from working?

Sorry, one more question. When you tested the Amazon apps, did you also previously install the finalize.zip?

Yes, xyz's finalize.zip only removes system apps related to OTA updates, so it prevents accidental / forced OTA updates from overwriting things modified by the exploit

I followed the instructions for Tailborn form your post on xyz's thread except for installing Root Essentials and then followed the instructions from this thread and after installing several Amazon apps, they start to open and then force close. I could be wrong but I think it may be due to the finalize.zip because after the first time I successfully rooted with xyz's method it did the same thing. Since it works for you, do you know if you did anything different than what I did?

What apps specifically aren't working ? I've only tested the Kindle App, Alexa, and Prime Video. Are these giving you errors? I haven't fully tested all Amazon apps as I don't really use them but if you can give me a list of the apps that aren't functional I can take a look when I get home. If you'd prefer I can modify my debloat script to not remove the Amazon apps you want to keep Also if you could provide a logcat from one of the apps that's crashing I can try to determine what's causing the crash. The instructions I provided for Tailborn were just to fix the error with his SD card

Yes I did see that your instructions were to help him with his SD card issue. I was basically just using it as a guide to start over except for anything to do with the SD card since I didn't have that issue.
The main apps I'm wanting to work that I'm having an issue with is Alexa and Amazon prime video. It will be a little bit before I can attach a logcat. I've never created one before but it should not be that hard to figure out and I'm on my way to work right now.

I'm on my way home from college (on the bus ) so I can guide you through it when I get home. Alexa worked without errors for me so I'm not sure why it wouldn't work for you but I'm sure we'll get it sorted it out soon
Getting Logcat (assuming you're on windows and running command prompt on the desktop)
1. Connect the kindle to your computer, run adb logcat -c (clears logcat)
2. Run adb logcat | findstr "com.amazon.dee.app" > logcat.txt (This will store the logcat for the Alexa app to a text file on your desktop)
3. Go back to your kindle, open the Alexa App and wait for it to crash
4. After it crashes, hit CTRL + C in command prompt (stops logging)
5. Copy and paste logcat.txt and send it in your reply
This will help me figure out what's causing the crash and from here I'll be able to fix it

Sorry, I've been really busy here at work this evening and unfortunately, the computers here will not let me retrieve a logcat through ADB. They have them locked down to where we can't use them for much except for work stuff.
I did get a logcat from an app called "aLogcat" from the Playstore but it is really long and I don't know if it will be good enough. I can attach it here or if it is best I can get one from adb later tonight after getting home. I'm in no rush

Id prefer you get one from adb as it'll make narrowing down the problem much easier :good: but I can just use grep on my PC to filter out the other things, so if you can send over what you have and attach the logcat from adb at your leisure when you get home, I'll take a look

I just skimmed through it and grepped for 'com.amazon.dee.app' but nothing crash related has come up. The only crash related thing I noticed in the logcat was related to Amazon's Device Metric's app which shouldn't be affecting the Alexa App ( as i have that app removed and Alexa functioned fine in previous tests). I think a regular adb logcat is gonna be our best bet to narrow the issue down. If you haven't done this already try these suggestions
1. Clear App Data & Cache from settings and try opening it
2. Clear App Data & Cache, then from Settings grant the app all requested permissions, then try opening it
3. Uninstall the app then repeat step 2 after installing (don't open the app before granting permissions)
I have a suspicion it's related to the removal of Amazon's Account Management App (if you go to settings -> My Account , settings crashes) yet only my debloat zip removes this app, and you said you experienced this before flashing it. I'm installing the Alexa app now and I'm going to see if i can reproduce the crashes. I won't be letting Amazon get the best of us
Edit : I was able to recreate the crash by uninstalling the app, reinstalling, and then i got it to crash after signing in, however, after opening the app again it went right to the main screen and hasn't crashed since
Edit 2 : Try uninstalling, installing, signing in, and after it crashes open the app (it will crash again) then open it again (it shouldn't crash this time and should bring you to the main screen)
It seems that there's permissions included in the app that are only allowed for system priv-apps (which might be causing the crash) so if after doing this you still aren't able to get into the main screen try moving the app to /system/priv-app

Ok well, I tried everything you listed here and it still just closes right after opening. I do not get the chance to log in or anything. Also to clarify what I said originally because it may have been a little misleading, the first time I rooted it I did not actually install the Alexa app but I did try to log into the Amazon services within the Fire Launcher and it would crash. At that point, I re-did the root and did not install the finalize.zip and it would then let me log in to Amazon services but that leaves all of the OTA stuff in there. So I tried it all again and that's when I first messaged you about it.

At this point I'd recommend talking to xyz as it doesn't seem to be an issue with my debloat script, he's going to have a much better understanding of the issue and is more knowledgeable. I'll look at your adb logcat when you get time to grab one but I've wiped my Kindle clean reflashed everything including finalize.zip and my debloat script and I'm still able to log in and use Amazon Apps
No problem and thanks for the assistance. I'll still get the adb logcat later tonight. [emoji3]

Sorry it took me a day to get back to you. I didn't get time to mess with it due to some stuff going on. I tried something different this time. I followed the directions from xyz's thread except I did not install the finalize.zip. I then did everything from this thread, then I used a root explorer and deleted all of the OTA stuff from system/priv-app. Now, the Alexa app will run just fine but the Prime Video app crashes. So, I tried doing what you said a couple of times using "com.amazon.avod.thirdpartyclient" but the .txt file would always be empty. So I just used adb logcat -v long > logcat.txt to catch the crash. Hopefully you can make sense of it...lol.
