Any reason why ROM toolbox pro wont work? keep getting 505 error when tiring to download it.
Hi everyone ! my first post. glad to be here.
i upgraded my tablet to android 5 and couldn't install ROM toolbox pro. this is the error:
Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_DUPLICATE_PERMISSION perm=jackpal.androidterm.permission.PREPEND_TO_PATH pkg=jackpal.androidterm]
which is the same as 505 that google( i guess?) is giving you.
this is a new change to android 5...i found this :
Apps using duplicate custom permissions
Any app can define any custom permission it wants, so it can happen that multiple apps might define the same custom permission. For example, if two apps offer a similar capability, they might derive the same logical name for their custom permissions. Apps might also incorporate common public libraries or code examples that themselves include the same custom permission definitions.
In Android 4.4 and earlier, users were able to install multiple such apps on a given device, although the system assigned the protection level specified by the first-installed app.
Starting in Android 5.0, the system enforces a new uniqueness restriction on custom permissions for apps that are signed with different keys. Now only one app on a device can define a given custom permission (as determined by its name), unless the other app defining the permission is signed with the same key. If the user tries to install an app with a duplicate custom permission and is not signed with the same key as the resident app that defines the permission, the system blocks the installation.
Considerations for your app
In Android 5.0 and later, apps can continue to define their own custom permissions just as before and to request custom permissions from other apps through the <uses-permission> mechanism. However with the new requirement introduced in Android 5.0, you should carefully assess possible impacts on your app.

so you have an app that is using the same custom permission! in my case i think it was Terminal emulator! if you have an app that is using the same permission (jackpal.androidterm.permission.PREPEND_TO_PATH
)you have to remove it in order to use ROM toolbox pro. that's it.
