Hello. I have an LG Ttibute 5 with Root access. I downloaded Link2sd app from playstore and MOVED all of my apps to my SD Card. I Accidentally erased my SD Card via System Settings, and now the apps appear grey on my homescreen. I was able to re-install most of the apps, but two of them wont install! I tried the Playstore but it gives me Error 505. When i try to install them via APK, it showed "this update requires no new permissions". I have went into the Root Storage of my phone and deleted the apps folders in the Data section. Iv'e also cleared all apps Cache, Dalvik-Cache, and Defaults. Also I have FORMATTED my SD Card many times. PLEASE HELP ME. I WANT TO FIX THIS.

The thing you need to know is that moving the app to the SD card does not move the whole of the installed app. So most likely there is something left in /data that is blocking the reinstall.
I assume that if you go into Settings > Apps these apps do not appear to be installed? If they are there then try uninstalling them. But I think the simplest way is probably a factory reset (after backing up anything important that's on the phone). A pain setting up again, but may be quicker than trying to track down what exactly is hanging around and causing the problem.
