I was able to successfully flash CM7 to my Infuse, I then proceeded to flash gapps, when the phone reboots it shows a progress bar that only goes about 1/4 of the way after that it boots normally but no market, contacts etc. I have tried about every method in the book but no dice.
I have tried:
Rom Manager
CWM (hold Volume buttons and power button) and installed from sdcard
and downloading different versions using the above methods.
Any suggestions? Is there something that I am missing?
Same problem here... i thought ROM Manager was going to install gapps but as i rebooted installation got stuck at about a quarter.
Manually installing gapps neither does the trick.
I tried with several gapps versions including of course the one suggested by the CM7 Wiki.
All I can think of is to re-flash (either trying with the gapps zip or the rom and gapps). Now don't take that as a "That's all you can do" statement, that's just what comes to my mind.

I have tried to flash the Cyanogen 6 rom for the Sprint Hero a few times and it hasn't worked. I think I may be missing something simple so maybe you guys could help. I've gotten either of the following two results after flashing: A never-ending boot loop OR it just sits on the HTC boot image and never finishes booting. I've left it for HOURS before with no results.
My setup:
*Sprint Hero
*Rooted with Androot
*Stock ROM (unfortunately)
*ClockworkMod recovery image
When I try to flash the image I have both the Cyanogen .zip and the Gapps .zip on the root of the SD and use the ClockworkMod recovery to "install from .zip" first the Cyanogen .zip and then the Gapps. Do I need a new kernel as well? Any other suggestions?
I am having the same problem with my Hero. I downloaded the Vanilla CM6 build from another thread on this forum (can't post external link to it, don't know how to post internal link yet) and installed using Clockworkmod. It appears to install successfully, but then I just get stuck with the Cyanogen boot screen looping. The animation plays for several seconds (sometimes hitching slightly as if background processing is happening), then eventually freezes for a couple of seconds, then starts over. This happens indefinitely.
Are additional steps required beyond simply installing the ROM via Clockworkmod?
Nevermind. I had not chosen to wipe when installing Cyanogen from within ROM Manager. I did that this time and now it is booting successfully.
EDIT: For some reason, after several attempts, ROM Manager successfully flashed recovery. Should be able to figure this out now.
After going Cyanogen free for awhile, I decided to download the newest kang. Problem is, GAPPS wasn't included.
It seems that ROM Manager isn't allowing me to download ClockworkMod Recovery; perhaps because I am not logged in? Not sure, it simply doesn't seem to want to download. No errors, it just doesn't do anything when trying to flash it.
I try to reboot into recovery, but it just loads the ROM. Attempting to hold the volume up while booting gets me stuck at the folder with the arrow screen.
I'm pretty sure that it is highly recommended that you don't use the fake CWM via rom manager. It installs it to your sd card or something of the sort. The easiest way to install CWM I know of is using the tool this guy madeLink Here. I think that will take care of your problems, of course I'm a little intoxicated on the net so I could be reading it wrong <<---Alcoholic Disclamer
I just tried all the tips around here before I create this thread but honestly i could not sort out my issue...
I rooted & installed CWM final without any issues on my SGS4G...then I could Access the Zip rom & flash it via CWM (I even checked the device Mounts & Unmounts) every thing goes fine till it shows a message "Install completed from SD card" but when i reboot it keeps hanging on the Logo (GALAXY S 4G - SAMSUNG) it never pass from that Logo, i also tried with many latest roms such as Blackice, Audiophile & bionix but the same issue
Then i used to load a rom Via Odin (2.2.1 ) then tried the above process nearly 15 times
someone could pointout me where do i make a mistake & what should i need to confirm further more from above process?

which rom are u flashing from????
after the initial flash, try going to the advanced menu, and reboot recovery. Then wipe everything again, check mounts, and reboot. give that a shot. If you are flashing icbinb, you need to enable voodoo lagfix in CWM and reboot recovery before rebooting the phone.
are you on orange CWM, or red CWM?
Moved to proper forum.

I'll post my question after some background:
I was on CWM Touch, downloaded and installed the TWRP from google play. Rebooted into recovery, created backups to internal and external, and flashed SkyICS 4.2f6 by Seanz. I followed OP instructions on how to flash. Did not have any problems and it was very easy to use.
Used TWRP and flashed several MODS and ROM updates without any hitch. All I did was reboot into recovery selected the zip files and swipe to install, did not even had to wipe cache or anything. I am not sure if this is the correct way but I was able to do so without any problems.
I wanted to install the same rom but to do a clean wipe since the rom had several updates. So, I rebooted into TWRP recovery, did OP flashing instructions which were:
-reboot into team win recovery
-wipe system
-factory data reset
-then go to mounts and choose external sd
-no go back and find the rom by choosing install zip
-swipe to confirm
-then install the radio you downloaded
and when complete reboot phone
-at this point everything will be settling and caching
which may or may not seem laggy.... and yes that white line is normal
its a battery representation mod
-im sure youll be eager to update busybox immediatly but let me tell you no
first open super user app.. find preferences and update user binary
hit it twice giving it root permissions
now .. is when to update busy box through the provided installer
-after you have done this
-power down phone
reboot into recovery and flash the latest update
and email package only
However, I was not able to reboot into recovery. I have a Samsung Skyrocket but was not able to put the phone into recovery mode by pressing and holding the power, volume up, and volume down buttons. The phone kept vibrating but the Samsung screen wont come up. Frustrated, I rebooted the phone, downloaded CWM, updated to Touch and proceeded to flash using CWM with no problems.
At this point i'm hesitant on using TWRP. I am not even sure if ODIN supports it. I'm afraid that if i'm on TWRP and brick my phone, I will not be able to use ODIN.
Questions:
Has anyone encounter the same problem?
Is TWRP compatible with ODIN?
Can anyone using Samsung Skyrocket confirm the recovery steps used above is correct?
Thank you for your help.
i am currently using twrp and ive had no problems flashing roms including sky ics which those directions are from also a recovery isnt compatible with odin if you want to odin back to stock or flash anew recovery image you just go into download mode and procedd from there

To reboot into recovery you hold power, volume up and down and when you see the first samsung logo let go of the power or it will keep rebooting.
As for being compatible with odin, I'm not sure what you mean. You can flash TWRP through odin, you can get into download mode with twrp installed also.
Have you tried reinstalling TWRP?
I installed lineage 16 yesterday, worked fine, but while messing around in the menus I found something for an update, I went ahead and applied it, it then proceeded to boot loop on me. It would say can't load android system and would give me a option to try again or factory reset, I tried both, nothing helped. So I tried reinstalling the OS, i boot into twrp, choose the lineage and gapps zip, let it install, and then at the end I clear the cache, it runs through but then pops up in red "unable to find partition for path '/cache'". I then reboot and it then puts me right back at the screen for android recovery. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong?
Have you updated to the latest firmware using the instructions in the LOS thread for this phone? Did you forget to reboot between installing LOS and gapps? One of the two if probably your problem
