Hey guys,
I (was) on jokers CM9 (before recent update). I backed up and then attempted to install the new version... So here's the problem, I can't install Gapps PERIOD. It failed for jokers CM9, as well as MIUI v4. I'm not new to installing ROMs, I know I did all the wipes properly etc and fixed permissions just in case. I have tried the last 3 releases of Gapps as well. The ROM is good, boots fine and all (MIUI and CM9) but no Gapps in any situation. The only time I've been able to get it to stick is using the Options Chooser MIUI Installer, worked great. Ive downloaded the files mutiple times with no problems... no idea what I could be missing! Anyone else had this problem/fix?
did you update your CWM recovery to 6.0.x.x? That's what i did before flashing jokers CM10 alpha build and it wouldn't let me install GAPPS either. I just reverted back to an earlier version and it worked fine.

Yes! I actually did right before I started flashing the new stuff... thanks!
Still having trouble ... downgraded back to 5.x. (joker v3). Now it seems like data/cache arent wiping. When trying to flash clean, after doing all wipes I still end up with the same install.

I use photon3 recovery. Works great. Be sure to flash twice if gapps don't show up. If still nothing then you must have a bad download of gapps.
If this works let me know.

Hi,
I just tried to install Neutrino 2.5p2.
the installation went well... but then I added gapps(the new version, not the old one). next boot the phone just went to hell.
bootloops in the motorola screen.
yea, I know you've seen this post alot lately, but I've tried to reinstall it like a 100 times... and Im sure Im doin' it right. (with the new version of gapps and all)
Help?
Use older version of GAPPS and just update all the apps to the latest you can afterwards.

two questions:
1. where do I get the old gapps from?
2. if I flash the old gapps, it whouldnt bootloop?
EDIT: First I tried installing Codename Android as my first rom from stock rooted gingerbread. OK, I ended up having some problems where I couldn't detect the SD card on my computer, and Android was giving me no option to go into mass storage mode. I had to take the advice on ics.samsung-update.com about the MTP issue going into Terminal Emulator to get it working again.
Now that I got it working I was just going to try to flash teamhacksung's build 5 here: hxxp://rootzwiki.com/topic/11850-romicsiml74k-teamhacksungs-ics-port-for-fascinate-build-5-0114/ Read my latest post for my problem.
I'd highly recommend AOKP or THS (find at rootzwiki) ICS roms. Droidstyle's guide in the general section has everything to get you up and running. Sounds like you might've flashed the wrong recovery in odin?
Probably something like that? I dunno, either way, I got a ClockwordMod v4 flashed on there. I then installed the Codenamed Android ROM I had on the sd card and that was appeared to work just fine. It seems strange that the contacts app on this rom seems to only want to let me import contacts from an Exchange account? Kind of strange I can't seem to get my Google contacts on here. I guess I'll try to flash the teamhacksung rom.
It sounds like you forgot to flash gapps. Flash the rom you want to use, then gapps, (then kernel if you want), and reboot.
Aokp m4 ftw! Glitch kernel if you're looking for performance tweaks. Go to Droidstyle's guide in general forum for all your needs.

cant install gapps
I am now trying to install teamhacksungs build. This seemed to go ok, except for I keep getting errors that it can't mount the cache. Also when I try to data wipe it gives me those errors and it seems to skip some of the formats. After I flashed teamhacksung's build 5 I keep getting errors that android.process.media has stopped. Also after the rom begins running I shut back down to flash gapps and this seems to install as well, but when I boot up I see no sign of them. Anyone have any ideas?
It sounds like you may have 3-fingered into recovery after flashing ICS. After you odin the recovery, you 3-finger into it *initially*, but never again after that. Use the reboot menu.
Hi i am very new to the concept of rooting and flashing ROMs.
My phone is a SGH-I777 unlocked running stock 2.3.4
I have tried rooting my phone using CWM 5.0.2.3 for i777 and then user superuser 2.3.3 to root which went fine.
Now i wanted to install a custom ROM so i went ahead and downloaded the CM 9 stable for my i777 and the gapps signed package saved them both to the internal memory went into recovery mode and followed instructions as per CM wiki to wipe cache wipe factory reset and then installed the CM 9 Stable and then the gapps package. When the phone rebooted CM9 was installed but unfortunaltely no gapps and i was not gettinng any network on my phone.I tried reflashing but no good hence went back to stock and everything seemed to be working fine.
All i want to know is did i follow the right procedure or is there something else which had to be done or needs to be done while flashing any new ROM. Also if anyone can suggest a good stable ROM for the i777 i personally i like CM 9,CM 10,AOKP SHOSTOCK & MYSTIC GLORY.
If anyone can be kind enough to help me on how to install the above mentioned ROMs if its a first time for someone.
Thanks
You can try rebooting again after initial boot. Sometimes that will clear up data/network issues. Also you can go into settings-->more--->mobile networks and check your APN settings. When there you can hit menu button, then restore default apn, and reboot.
Also you mentioned your phone is unlocked. Are you using it on another carrier other than ATT? If so, make sure your APN are correct for your carrier.
Your basic procedure is fine, theoretically, it should work.
Why gapp didn't work? I don't know, I haven't run CM ROMs.
Try reflash gapp? Try reboot?
Did u download the correct gapps? I've had it happen that my big old fingers hit the wrong gapps package for the base I was running (cm9 (ics), cm10 (jelly bean) or gingerbread. Everything u did sounds right in theory, make sure not to use rom manager.

I've had it happen that I needed to reboot into recovery and flash just the gapps again. Try that. Don't try to reinstall cm and gapps. Just do the gapps again.

It has been a long time but I do remember when CM9 first came out for our phone I would flash the cm zip and let it try to boot. Then after a few minutes I would hold down the volume +/- and power until I was back in recovery and flash cm a second time BUT this time then flash gapps BEFORE rebooting. On occasion I have still done that out of old habits when I am switching between different ROMs. Good luck

So here is the issue. I have a verizon note 2 sch i605. I have had it for a few months. I used the casual method to unlock the bootloader and install a rooted rom. From there i installed jedi x rom since it was the best i could find at the time. Didnt really like any of the other roms out there, especially ones without touchwiz. Makes no sense to have a note 2 without s pen functionality right?
So i kept jedi x for a while. And in my searchings a month ago i saw it had a new version. I also saw a new version for jellybeans which i sort of liked before, and a jedimaster rom. I figured id try both since i am a flashaholic.
I went to install the jellybeans rom and it installed fine. Rebooted and it got to the galaxy note 2 screen (first screen) rebooted, and went right back into twrp. I figured it was strange. So i wiped dalvik and cache and rebooted again. Same thing. Strange x2. I then did factory reset, wiped dalik and cache. Same. I gave up on jellybeans figuring it was a bum rom.
After that i tried installing jedimaster. Installed fine. Wipe dalvik and cache. Reboot. Same issue as with jelly beans... strange x13... not sure what was happening, and figuring it had nothing to do with the roms, i quit on the new ones.
I then went to to new version of jedix titled jedixv12. I wanted to see if it would dirty flash, so i tried it. It did just fine. Wiped dalvik and cache. Rebooted. Booted up perfect. In playing around with it i noticed that superuser was gone and supersu replaced it. Opened supersu and it informed me there was no superuser binary! All my old apps still had permission, but no new ones could gain... weirrrrrd. So obviously that rom would do no good. I then wiped everything and fresh installed the rom. Worked fine again. No superuser binary still.
Ok so that rom sucked. I tried then to go to jellybeans from this new version of jedix. Still same problem.
So heres the question. Am i doing something wrong? I have flashed other roms to this device many times. I actually went from jedi x to jellybeans when i first got the device rooted! Now it wont? I can not flash any new roms to my device. I am stuck with jedi x for good unless i can fix this! I have no idea what the problem is since another version of jedi x installs perfectly and boots. It just seems like my device wont let go of jedi x.
Please help if you have any ideas. I am open to anything. I have exausted my knowledge base and i would like to pick yours now.
Also... looked around the internet and i cant find anyone with this issue at all. Not even close.
You may want to install twrp again, but this is just a blind suggestion. I seemed to have this problem before. Do you have check md5 selected in twrp?

Nope. I have everything checked that was checked originally. I have changed nothing. As i said before, it used to be fine, and is fine when installing fresh copies of jedi x.
I havent tried reinstalling twrp. But i cant see why that should be an issue since it installs things fine.

Are you sure you are on the latest TWRP 2.5.0.0?
Also, in superuser you may have an option to update binaries.
But it sounds like your root might be borked and a complete and fresh unlock/reroot might not be a bad idea.
Also, as already mentioned. Are you verifying the md5 is good on your rom downloads?

The issue with superuser only happens when i install jedixv12. It is fine on my rom that i use right now. SuperSU is the problem i believe. It says that it cant find the binary and cant install one. Basically says screw you you arent rooted. But as soon as i revert back to my original jedi x rom it is fine.
I dont check md5 but i have downloaded the roms multiple times so i am pretty sure that one of the downloads should have been good. I am attempting to install a new recovery to see if it fixes my issues.

May not necessarily need a new recovery, maybe just make sure you're on the updated one. Are you still on the twrp version included with casual unlock? If so, it is likely out of date. If you aren't already aware, you can just install the goo manager app from playstore, tick menu, then install open recovery script and it will flash and bring you current

I was on the original one that came with casual. I just updated to the newest using rom toolbox pro.
Just as a weird side note... i updated and tried to install jellybeans again. After the install it says "your device does not seem to be rooted. Install supersu now?" I swiped to install and it just rebooted. Then same thing as before. Stuck at samsung galaxy note 2 screen then restarts itself and goes back to twrp. I am soooo confused. Thinking about trying to use cwm see if it makes a difference.
UPDATE:
Tried cwm. Same results. Obviously not a problem with recovery. Very confused.
I need help please!
I have a Sony Ericsson Live With Walkman wt19i, I had cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies dated 8/Oct/2013 installed on it and it was working just fine, no problems at all, so today I thought I should check if there is a new nightlies and I checked and found one dated 4/Dec/2013, I downloaded it and installed it the usual way through Recovery --> Wipe Cache --> Wipe Dalvik --> Install Zip --> Install Gapps, and it went fine.
I rebooted my phone after installation and I couldn't turn the WIFI on, it just doesn't turn, I re-installed again, then I wiped data and re-installed again, then I re-installed the older nightlies that was working fine, but nothing worked.
So in short WIFI was working fine on a October nightlies and after installing a new nightlies it doesn't turn on no matter what I try.
Sorry for my bad English.
Help please!
Try to go back to your old ROM. After flashing always backup tour current ROM.

I didn't backup my old ROM but I did wipe data / cache and install it again, but it didn't work!
Maybe it is a problem with a kernel. Try flashing the latest kernel, if there are, that comes with every nightlies zip that you flash.
If you are using other JB kernels then maybe there is WiFi modules on its thread.

Thanks.
This phone is currently outdated anyway, and it has taken a lot of beatings and needs to replace the charger port, so I decided to retire it and buy the Huawei Ascend Mate.
This event was a hard lesson for me, I always took installing custom ROMs lightly, but from now on I will only do it if the ROM was tested and stable.
