Cm7 on Desire HD - no market!

Hi
Recently flashed cm7.0.3 on my DHD after the usual nandroid backup etc. Had to wipe data and cache first. After the cm flash I flashed the latest gapps.
The phone boots fine but with no Android market and no Google apps. I understand that the gapps process has changed so I must be doing something wrong, but what??
Thanks!

Did you use Rom Manager or did you flash from Recovery? May be worth trying whichever method you didn't the first time around.

You need to download the GAPPS file located most likely in the same thread you downloaded the CM7 files. You will have to use CWM to flash the GAPPS file and once done you will have the market once the phone boots back up.
I ran in to the same issue when I installed CM7 on my Captivate and once I found the GAPPS file I was golden!

Aha! Got ya. I've been trying to flash gapps from recovery - I take it that doesn't work then? Haven't used CWM for *ages* but am sure I can guess my way thru it.
Thanks!

gapps have to be flashed from recovery. yes. try rom manager in your phone. it makes the process a lot easier. press Download Rom - CM - and choose the latest stable. it will then ask you abt gapps, just check that box and you are set

Sorted
Thanks for the tips, got it working in the end. There were a couple of problems stopping me flashing GAPPS:
- Clockwork mod was an old version - had to try a couple of times to upgrade it, kept failing, worked after complete wipe and reflash of CM7
- I had been trying to install GAPPS from recovery. Tried from CWM after the upgrade and it worked fine.
Cheers for the help.

[Q] New Rom

I have just successfully unlocked my bootloader and rooted my AT&T HTC One X. My first time doing this. What I would like is a Jelly Bean Rom to flash and where to find step by step instructions on how to get it up and running. I just cant seem to find it anywhere out there. I'm very new to this and I just want to get this done properly. I did the bootloader unlock and root through TWRP all in one tool kit. I'm assuming I would flash a Rom from the same program? I also would like to have as much a "vanilla" Jelly Bean ROm as possible and one that is stable and fully functional. If anyone can direct me it would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance !!

I really appreciate your response. Don't I have TWRP already from when I unlocked bootloader and rooted? Next question.... what ROM and where do I download it from? Do I download to PC or phone? Sorry for all the questions but I dont want to mess up my phone. Hope you can help me....Thanks again

Download goo.im install TWRP via goo.im or from fastboot. Test to see if get into the recovery. If so you can flash away. Follow instruction from the video that twrp puts out or from the how to thread. I'm running AOKP now for nearly a week and so far so good. Just be sure to start by backing up your phone with twrp or the other pimp apps available. Watch Video or follow directions on twrp thread for your device. Goo. im is darn noon friendly. Here's a screenshot of an example screen

once the bootloader is unlocked, then you are able to install the recovery. you can check if you have it already, but its likely that you dont.
its fine if you download from your phone, but for starters it is much simpler to download from the computer and transfer to the phone
and for what ROM to flash, since you want a jb rom i'd recommend starting with a stable rom, so that would mean you should stay way with roms with the "unofficial, beta, alpha",etc labels. also CM10 is in a pretty unstable state too, so stay away from that
i wouldn't necessarily recommend a jb rom for starters, but it seems to me that you'd like one so i would start with nocturnal'd dirty rom. its stable, smooth, and has some really nice tweaks

You can download ROMs via goo.im on your phone like CM10, AOKP.. just read up a bit and get it right. The other poster's response is right on the money. Follow those links and you are good to go.

No offense to any other devs, but I agree dirty rom is pretty solid and polished with a very active dev. As for installing, download rom and dirty gapps. Also head to play store and download flash image GUI...
1. Open flashgui app. Browse to dirty rom and select. OK it by following instructions and don't worry about the WiFi bit. (Its just a disclaimer). It'll automatically flash just the kernel.
1. Once successful, immediately boot into recovery. Wipe cache, wipe dalvick, factory reset, wipe system. Press back button, hit install. Find your dirty rom. Swipe to flash it. Once successful, immediately flash dirty gapps.
2. Reboot system. (First boot takes a little longer)
3. Swim in the butter!

Safe to Use Default CWM in EOS Wingray to Flash Newest Nightly?

So I flashed the 3-27 nightly of Team EOS's Wingray 4.2, but I wanted to get into the swing of flashing the latest Nightly builds ASAP. However, I came across this in that thread:
Use latest TWRP or cwm or you'll be in trouble.
I found the links for the latest CWM and TWRP. In the latter link's OP it says this:
TWRM Original Post said:
*NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS USE THE MOST UP TO DATE RECOVERY, IF YOU ARE PLANING ON FLASHING A 4.2 BASED ROM YOU SHOULD UPDATE TO THE LATEST BEFORE FLASHING ROM.*

As I did not flash either of these zips when I flashed the nightly I am now curious what is the recommended method for flashing the latest Nightly. Can I not simply download the latest market version of ROM Manager and reboot into recovery with that? At the Play Market ROM Manager lists as a version update in the "What's New" section:
ROM Manager said:
5.5.2.3 Delta download bug fixes.
5.5.2.2 Revamp comments service. All users can comment and rate.
5.5.2.1 Can now view all backups, internal and external, in the restore/manage list
5.5.2.0 ROM Manager now support TWRP
5.5.1.8 Delta downloads
5.5.1.8 Fix crash
5.5.1.4 External SD card support is fixed on devices running Android 4.0+ and CWM 6+.
5.5.0.8 Download Backups to your PC using the new ROM Manager Backup Download Server feature!

Everything looks kosher, but I wanted to double check.

Well, there I go again. First, I'm actually on CM10.1's official Wingray Nightly (3-27-2013) right now, not the EOS build; second, as I enabled the Developer options and was fuddling around in them I saw the "Advanced Reboot" checkbox. Now I'm less confused because I was under the impression that all of these AOSP builds came with their own built-in recovery bootmenu options.

The easiest recovery for me is the TWRP one. I also have the CW one but changed when it had some problems. The recoveries are independent from the ROM. The Play Store has Goo Manager. If you install it and go to the settings (three vertical dots at the top right) then select InstallOpenRecoveryScript, it will install the latest version of TWRP (2.5.0.0 currently). The Goo Manager also has a button to reboot to recovery. I suggest you first read their thread thoroughly so you are comfortable with the process. It is in the Developers thread.

[Q] Order of Operations for New Firmware, Modem, and ROM

Hello everyone. I have been away from the Android scene for awhile, and I am looking to make some changes to my VZW SGIII. I want to make sure that my current plan for upgrading makes sense and I was hoping someone here could help. Here are my current settings:
ROOTED, BOOTLOADER Unlocked, CWM installed
Android 4.2.2
Kernal: 3.4.53 Cyanogenmod
Baseband: I535VRLHE
Liquid Smooth v2.9
I would like to update my Modem, since my current option has absolutely terrible reception. According to what I have read, it seems that the best Modem option is MF1 firmware than do a ML1 Baseband update.
[Q1] Does this have to be performed with ODIN, or can I do this through CWM?
The other thing I would like to do is to update to KitKat. I have found a ROM I think I will like, C-RoM v6.5. The instructions from their thread:
"WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + Format System)
Install the ROM from internal sdcard
Select Rom Zip And Flash, then select GAPPS of choice (doesnt have to be from below, im using PA GAPPS myself...) And Flash
Reboot And Enjoy..."
[Q2] What is the best order of operations in order to ultimately end up with MF1 w/ ML1 modem and C-RoM 6.5?
Should I do all the modem updates first and then flash ROM? Thanks!

In addition, I would also like to update my Kernal. Any suggestions as to where in this process I should update the Kernal (I would think at the end)? Also trying to decide between leankernal and KT747, anyone care to offer their experiences as far as stability, etc.?

You seem to have the right idea. All this can be install in recovery. Odin is not needed
You must update your recovery to the latest version. This is NOT Optional!
1. Wipe System & Data
1b. Flash MF1 firmware
1c. Flash ML1 modem
2. Flash ROM
3. Flash kernel (if you using something like KT747)
4. FLASH Gaaps
5. any addons
6. Reboot (if unstable reboot a 2nd time)

It's up to you. You only use one recovery. If you like TWRP then just go grab the latest version and stick to it.

EDIT: Found a zip file of CWM. Sorry! Thanks again!

Quick note, some people have been having problems with the ML/MF combo in that more then one text message can't be sent at a time. If you get one, you can send one, but only one. Some people have gone back back to MB1 modem/firmware for SMS support.
Just a heads up..

Impossible to flash stock ROM

Hi there,
I have a Chinese OnePlus, achieved to finally install a western cyanogen ROM in early july and rooted. I now have Latest bacon release on (nightly 24.08.2014) from cyanogen website downloads.
Problem: I can't flash or sideload any of the stock roms available even the one with script update, I have TWRP 2.7.1.1. It fails every time. I only can flash certain roms like the ones available on cyanogen downlaods. Don't know why.
I had different error messages trying to flash like 'can't flash on incompatible data' and others...
I wiped everything lots of times before flashing.
2 questions:
1/ How can I flash stock roms on my phone?
2/ What improvements latest nightly bacon rom on cyanogen as I still experience ghost on touchscreen?
Thanks for your help

Firstly, when you refer to stock ROM, I am assuming that you mean CM11S XNPH series--this series differs from the CM11 nightlies that you mentioned. CM11S does not have nightlies and are only available in OTAs.
If you plan on staying on nightlies then you can only flash the zips here http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=bacon&type=nightly
If you plan on going to "stock ROM" (CM11S) then you need to flash https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/ using fastboot (or find a full OTA zip on the forums)

Hi Zephik and thanks for your answer. I do refer to latest nightly downloads on official cyanogen website.
I would be glad to stay with nightlies but I experiment some bugs with touchscreen and other things.
I tried to update with CM11S downloaded from the official link you provided but it fails every time.
I tried it via TWRP, sideload and normal load but without success.
You mentioned fastboot but I didn't try via fastboot and I don't know how to do it actually, I only went there to flash TWRP recovery.
Can you tell me what adb command I could use via fastboot to update CMS11?
If it didn't work via twrp, why would it work via fastboot?
Thanks

Those bugs with touchscreens etc should be fixed, not all of them but the majority of them. They're in the official CM11S as well. Its just something you'll have to deal with until its fully fixed.
Also you are still confusing me, you say latest nightly and then you mention CM11S. There are no CM11S nightlies, the only nightlies there are is CM11. CM11 and CM11S are two different things, they're very similar but in terms of compatibility they are not the same.
The CM11S zip is not a TWRP flashable zip, thats why the .zip says -fastboot in it. You need to do fastboot to flash this (refer to bottom link), but then you mention that you want nightlies? So I'm getting confused on what you want exactly.
A guide to fastboot http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/general/guide-return-opo-to-100-stock-t2826541 THIS IS FOR CM11S not nightlies.
Again, CM11S nightlies do not exist! Its either CM11S or CM11 nightlies. This is a big emphasis since you're confused on what you want.
If you want CM11 nightlies, just simply wipe in TWRP and flash http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=bacon&type=nightly alongside with gapps,custom kernel, etc.

Sorry for confusing you.
To be clear, I understood differences between CM11S and CM11.
I have CM11 nightly of 24 of august from caynogen website.
I can't install CM11S from Oneplus website (what I call stock ROM).
I'll try the method you provided.
One last question for the custom roms part, what is a custom kernel? I usually only flash the rom and the gapps.
Thanks

A custom kernel is a kernel other than the kernel supplied by the ROM.
Yeah when you said, "CM11S nightlies" that was a huge no no because they don't exist. Just simply follow the return to stock guide and then you'll get to where you want to be.

custom kernel is an enhanced version of the rom kernel with usually the latest advancement and some with an array of additional Governors, I/O shcedulers and a host of tweaks. You can read up on it here.
You have to make sure you read up properly and flash the right kernel for the right OS you are running at the moment. There are Cm11 and CM11S specific kernels. Its all good reading if you do a little Google search of skim through the forum and read the OP's
