P.S... also....I heared about "gapps"...what is it and do I need it at all? When is the official 2.3.x (gingerbread) coming from Tmobile? I just want GB on my g2x

make sure u flashed clockwork recovery via NVflasher to TRULY gain a mod recovery. I always put the roms I wanna flash onto my phone's memory and NOT the microSD card. maybe that'll help.

Looks like a corrupt download. Delete the zip and try downloading again.

Thnx for the reply. I tought I heard to have the ROMS in external memory card. Cuz, for example that's where clockworkmod backs up your nandroid.
Where do you place the ROMS(most roms have like 3 files in a compressed zip format.......i.e example.....the eagleblood ROM name is EagleBlood1.04.zip when u download it....inside the zip, theres two folders.....META-INF and "system".....a file called "boot.img" and another one called "installbusybox"...so where in the internal phone memory do u put the whole zip folder......?

put the WHOLE rom.zip on your memory. don't unzip anything.

+1 on the post above. redownload the rom and try flashing again.
after you flash the rom, flash gapps (this is the installer that includes market, gmail, etc.) You need it in order to get access to the market
Your steps should be as follows
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Dalvik cache
3. Flash Rom
4. Flash gapps
5. fix permissions
6. reboot
EDIT: and don't unzip anything. Place the WHOLE eaglesblood.zip file on your SD Card

They all say the same....I got them from the cyanogenmod website......even Eagleblood1.04 from here.
funny thing i noticed tho, after I tried installing a rom, but of course it fails, I connect the phone to USB, go to external memory card, try to open the ROM zip file, it wont open....says "X:\EagleBlood1.04.zip The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"
Maybe it gets damaged or currupted during the time its trying to flash the files to the phone???

thanks....where do I get gapps and how do i go about installing it....I need to install it AFTER sucessfully flashing a rom, right?
Kinda new to the whole android thing, but not to modding devices...I started it when I got the $500+ moto RAZR when it came out, the psp, wii, ps3, itouch, etc. enuff about me....lets stay on topic

hehe me too, started with my verizon razr as well.
You can get gapps from here:

You install it AFTER successfully flashing a rom
and there is a thanks button

Steps i performed which resulted in soft brick...
1. i was on ICS ardatdat 4.2b6 with BB Rom..
2. flashed JB on it
3. wiped data..fatory reset....after which there was no network....
4. i had renamed the backup folder, and since there was no file manager i was unable to revert back to correct name...
5. i didnt had the pc, so i was unable to revert back the name...and by this tyme even my mmc became unreadable...donno how
6. flash ics nordic through odin.....now it passes galaxy r screen----->samsung splash screen---->stops at samsung screen..
waited for 10-15mins...bt no avail....
what cld be done now ?? to boot the phone

By jb I hope you mean cm10 right?? I have flashed it many times in the past few days and successfully did a nandriod restore too... Didn't face any issues...

Oops! U haven't read the thread properly... to get the network, u have to disable the mobile data...
In my last build, i have followed the unknownzd steps to remove the emmc bug.. so it should not be the case...
I doubt on ur renaming of the backup folders and all...
File manager is not included and if u have wifi u can download any file manager..
Now what is the condition.. Feel free to PM me...

1. As karthik said first we need to disable the Mobile data in settings-> more, then after few minutes network will work, its working for all of us...
2. i am not able to understand what you are saying about renamed the backup folder, if you rename also just you can boot into recovery and restore it ...
3. You can download any file manger from Play store, i have downloaded it from playstore and its working fine....
4. please explain us the steps what you have followed because from yesterday i am using JB without any issues....
5. Last one as karthik has compiled the kernel from Sources its free from Brick bug no need to worry....

Cwm recognizes backup/restore folder as
clockworkmod->backup->date->{ all backup files}
I had d convention as
clockworkmod->backup_bak->date->{ all backup files}
Hence cwm cldnt recognize any backup file...
Tried every opt under cwm..as
Restore, advance restore, restore from internal sdcard...
Bt all failed...
Also i didnt had any system/device to rename back to correct convention
Abt file manager, cm10 works nly on wifi..i didnt had any wifi connection in ofc too....so no luck..
Regardin steps i followed are as follows :
1 Was on bb rom..
2 Applied update zip in cwm
3 Wipe cache n dalvik cache...(didnt perform wipe data)
4 Reboot....
5 a lot of fc caused me to perform wipe data thru cwm..
6 after which no n/w

ok if you want to again flash it try to format system buddy..
1. Wipe Data, Dalvick cache.
2. Format system partition.
3. Flash CM10.
4. Flash Gaaps.
this should work because normally i will format the system before every time i flash of CM, believe me you will not go back to ICS once you use it.....

[Q] [Team Canjica] OmniROM 4.3 missing Play Store and Google account

I have updated stock Android 4.1.2 on Samsung Galaxy S Advance to Team Canjica OmniROM 4.3 (omni-4.3.1-20131218-janice-HOMEMADE.zip). Everything finished successfully. But when I restarted my device I can not see a Play Store app and in system settings in accounts there is no account type of Google. So I can not sign in and use my device. I also tried to install (omni-4.3.1-20131208-janice-HOMEMADE.zip) but it ends the same.
Please help me. Or maybe I am missing something and I should add my Google account somewhere else. I also tried to add it as exchanged account, but it can not connect to server.

Warning: No file_contexts
I am also getting following message during flash:
Warning: No file_contexts
but flash progress bar is still moving and when it has finished I can reboot to system but Play store app is missing

Second atempt
I tried one more time. I have restored stock Android 4.1.2 by download mode, then rooted and then installed again update with custom ROM, but still get the same warning and Play store and Google account is missing

Did you install Gapps (for Android 4,3)? And did you do a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cache?

Yes I have followed the instruction.
I have done a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cach.
Then installed OmniROM and Gapps.
After rebooting system I am missing Play store and Google account.
I have also rebooted to recovery mode and made once again a factory reset / wipe data, cache and dalvik cache, but it also did not help.
No I realized that even I have installed in recovery mode: Gapps it was also missing after rebooting to system.

Sounds like you forgot to download and flash the appropriate GApps package for your new ROM. Carefully re read the OP of that ROM thread and find the link for downloading GApps. GApps are the Google App packages for AOSP based ROMS. Those packages usually include the Playstore and other Google Apps.

Sounds like your Gapps package isn't fully installing. I would try installing the ROM, boot into the ROM and let it settle. Then reboot to recovery and install Gapps.

I will try to install Gapps after first reboot.
Can you confirm that this is correct Gapps file I should install?
goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip
Previously when I tried to install Gapps there was displayed success message,
but after installing ROM there was only message: Warning: No file_contexts
but as far as I found on forum I should ignore this message.
But it was strange that there was no success message after installing ROM even if install progress was still moving when this warning was displayed.

That is the correct Gapps package for most 4.3 Roms. As I am not familiar with your ROM, I would double check the OP to make sure that is the package you should be using.

I use the same ROM with the same Gapps file. It works fine for me.
I have had the same problem when I had forgotten to wipe the dalvik cache after installing a new ROM, but if you have already done that (and again), I don't know what else to suggest (apart from retrying everything from scratch).
