[Q] gapps problem

Hey,
I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 from this page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=941346
Everything seems to be fine except for there is no market and I cannot link my google account to my phone under cyanogenmod 7. I tried through the settings/accounts area and also through the e-mail application but no luck. I tried reinstalling after wiping the cache, deleting the data but even that didn't work. I also tried to update using "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" and it says that it is successful but it still isn't fixed after that. I then tried to restore my old firmware then flash "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" and then reinstalled cyanogenmod 7 but I don't see any difference.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Bob

You install gaps the same way you flash the ROM. Put it on your SD Card, reboot into recovery and install the zip. When you reboot, you should be good to go.

I'm not 100% sure but I think you need to flash gapps straight after you flash CM7, while still in recovery.

Thanks for your prompt replies, I think I should also add that I installed it the same way I installed the mod.

hmm, thats weird that it didnt work then. What phone and recovery do you have? After you flash the ROM, you can try to fix permissions before you flash gapps. If you have clockwork recovery, that is located under advanced. If that doesn't work, I would do a full wipe, reflash the ROM and then flash gapps again. Also, you may have a bad download of gapps..that happens quite a bit. Just trying to throw the different scenarios out there.

Ok I will put everything I did. When I received the phone it was on android 2.0 imported from Italy. I then upgraded to 2.1 at which point this is all the information that I wrote down:
FCCID: IHDP56KC2 = GSM (Quad-Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) & Dual-Band Euro 3G (900/2100))
A853
firmware: 2.1-update1
firmware configuration version: GAS_EMEA_USASHL00WNDIT_P031
baseband configuration version USASHLSMR2WNDITB1B806D.0R
kernel versioin 2.6.29-omap1 [email protected] #1
build number SHOLS_U2_02.38.0
bootloader 90.73
I then rooted the phone using universal androot. I then Installed RSD lite and used the SBF named "GOT_WINDITALY_2_2_1FULL.sbf" Then I installed open recovery and installed cyanogenmod/gapps. I tried redownloading the latest gapps from the cyanogen latest release wiki page (cannot link because my forum account is too new) but am stuck a bit. Could it be because I used a 2.2.1 sbf instead of the 2.0 that it came with?
So what would you recommend I do next? Should I download clockwork recovery now?

I managed to get it working! Here is how I did it. I re-downloaded cyanogen mod, I then re-downloaded gapps "gapps-gb-20110307-signed" and "gapps-gb-20110503-signed" tried both after clean wipe of dalvik cache data and cache partition and the "gapps-gb-20110307-signed" worked. I'm still not sure what the problem is but after trying again and again I can only assume the downloads must have been corrupt. Thanks for all of your help.

If you are using a custom ROM right now than you can go into recovery wipe everything and then flash a stock ROM. There is a code to wipe date/factory reset your phone as well. Go on youtube and there should be a tutorial but it's shown on a galaxy S. It will work on our phones also. I have tried it many times.

thanks for the reply... will definately try that
btw, i probably should start a new thread for this
but i installed Kies .. updated it to latest fix version
and connected my phone
It says
unable to connect to gt-i5801. failed to retrieve device information
I had installed all .net framework req, Samsung USB device drivers
can plz help as to what should i do now?
PS: sorry, got it working
just did factory reset on phone and tried connecting .. it worked
Thank you.

chimeraVsskyrocket wont install

i flash my phone alot. im not sure why im having this issue. i couldnt get cm9 to install with touch recovery so i flashed a nontouch 5.x like it said to do. i got cm9 installed with it, but when i boot back into recovery the aroma installer gives me the choices, but in one second it says its done. i reboot and it still say rc2. tried just wiping cache and dalvik, then tried full wipe. same thing. anyone know what im doing wrong? i really love this rom and want it to run. :crying:

[Q] Device does not boot

Hello,
Just had issue with my Samsung galaxy S3.
A lot of sudden death and device freezes.
I installed the "[ROM][364MB][NB7]Revolutionary S5 V2 - Like your new Galaxy S5? [23RD MAR][FLYING][AVAILABLE]"
rom and since then i cannot boot my device.
After the installation was finished and just click the reboot option and its stucked on the boot screen(Samsung Galaxy s3 image)
Is it what's called a brick?
Is there any way to fix that issue?
I know i can get into recovery.
I'm having trouble with the sd card, I guess it's related cause it was working well before having issue with the device.
Any suggestion from you guys?

Sure. You don't need adb for installing a rom!
Perform a wipe
copy CUSTOMROM.zip* to your sdcard
install it via recovery
be happy again
*you can choose any custom rom compatible to your device.

The sd card is curropted for some reason.
I try the ADB but get the error attached.
Any reason what's wrong?
Or how can I fix this issue?

Don't use adb sideload pls. Just go to recovery --> format sd-card --> mount sd to computer --> copy rom.zip to sdcard manually. You dont need adb sideload

I format the external_sd
I mount the external_sd but can get the drive in my local machine.
do you i need to do something in addition to get the drive in my pc?

What Recovery Version do you use actually?
]Do You have the SIII gt-i9300?
If you have unbranded SIII GT-i9300 --> This is the best recovery avaiable PhilZ advanced cwm 6.19.3 . You can flash it using Odin 3.07
Latest usb drivers --> Samsung USB drivers

Your solution is good.
I installed this recovery and managed to mount my sd card and then install a different rom.
Thing I still have the sudden death issue.
I understood that any rom with version of 4.1.2 and above has that relevant fixes but its just didn't solve my issue.
Any suggestion about that?

Have you flashed full stock firmware once you're sd card is fine again?

I installed a custom ROM(Archdroid v2.4) and in the installation i chose the stock kernel.
Is that enough?
Model: GT-I9300
Android version: 4.4.2

Do you have custom recovery ? if you have so then do a complete wipe (cache,factory data, dalvik) and try, if the device doesnt boot then flash your backup or stock rom in recovery

I installed a custom ROM based on stock and it reduced the freezes and sudden death big time but didn't solve it.
since the installation one day ago i had a couple of sudden deaths.
I did all wipes the recovery have to offer but I still see picture and old data I had.
No way to format the entire phone and then install a ROM from recovery?
Any other suggestion how to fix?

You can format everything using PhilZ recovery:
-->Mounts&Storage
Format /system /cache /data /storage/sdcard0 /storage/sdcard1
Then copy the rom to your sdcard and install it again. If that does not work you will have to flash the stock firmware once using odin before you can use a custom rom again.
Keep in mind that a custom kernel can cause system instability and errors.

I will download what's relevant for my country according to the site you provided and install.
It's only a KERNEL stock, right?
I can leave my current custom rom and just flash the official stock kernel ?

Wifi and bluetooth not working in R7 plusf

I run CM 13 and want to back to color os because it is not run so smooth. I format and then flash stock recovery image (then recovery) via twrp and reboot to stock recovery.
In stock recovery i wipe data and cache. That's problem come. Before finish, the screen goes black. I try to power on the device, back to wipe data then the screen goes to black again. I try to boot to recovery and fastboot but it remain the same, back to wipe data and then the screen goes to black..
I try repair it using msm tool but because my comp not recognize the device, i use QFIL. And then i can use the fastboot to boot stock recovery. Suceed. But no os inside. Try and error many times, i can power on the device at the end.
But now the other problem comes. My wifi and bluetooth not work. And message nv backup appear.
Flash project spectrum. Wifi and bluetooth work. I flash back to stock os. Wifi and bluetooth not work again..
May someone help me to solve the problem (make bluetooth and wifi work again)?

To get back to ColorOS from spectrum flash this rom from internal storage.

I think your initial problem was that you didn't flash open Gapps right after you flashed CM13.
Most users who are new to custom roms don't know that they have to flash Google apps separately.

Did you boot into CM after flashing CM? and then installed Gapps later on? This could explain corrupted cache.
Always follow these steps on custom roms. (first time install not upgrade)
Boot into TWRP, select wipe/factory reset.
1. Install CM Rom
after that select the next zip (or add more zips to flash)
2. install Gapps.
Let it boot and setup your phone.
If you follow this you will never have a problem in CM.
Especially the R7 series. Every change to the code is closely tripled (even quadruple) checked by devs.
Because the R5, R7, R7Plus, R7S all share the same base and its tested in on every phone.

I don't know about the R7Plus TWRP. I don't maintain that TWRP. I know that my R7S TWRP works with OTG.
Internal storage should have been fine. I think it will stay a mystery why you received those errors.
