Google Play services stopped | CM13 for GT-i9300 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had Unofficial 5.1.1 installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300. I updated my device via CM Updater to CM13 6.0.1 Marshmallow. After updating, I am getting an error Google Play services has stopped, unfortunately. I cannot access any Google App.
I've flashed the GApps through OpenGapps. But after flashing GApps, phone stucks on Bootloop. I've tried many variants (pico, nano, stock) but none of them worked. I am still stucked at boot screen.
HELP!

Definitely Gapps problem.
1) Backup your data.
2) clean install Marshmallow rom (wipe data/ factory reset & install)
3) look for the correct Gapps (slim zero Gapps work for me)
You might know, but just telling - make sure the Gapps is for Android 6.0
P.S: don't panic and flash several things at once. Maybe you haven't clean flashed the CM 13, that might be the reason.

Clean flash 13.0 and don't boot yet after and go back to recovery, instead flash gapps immediately after flashing the rom. If you dont then you're going to have a bad time. Hope I helped

Done. Flash CWM and Boom
Thank You @sashankps. Slim Zero Gapps worked for me.
What I did?
1. Installed CWM Recovery.
2. Wiped everything.
3. Installed CM 13 (6.0.1)
4. Flashed Slim Zero Gapps.
5. Done.
PS: For future readers, please note that do not wipe cache/data after installing Gapps. After finishing above steps directly Reboot your system.

Glad it helped.
I was a CWM recovery user myself, but the development is static, I would suggest you move on to TWRP - chances of you encountering flashing problems is less.

Next Time.

I don't like the UI of TWRP but Next time I'll surely try TWRP. Maybe while flashing Android N

[Q] Cm12 bootloop!

Hello! So as a lot of you may have heard, a lot of people are having problems with lollipop ROMs bootlooping on first boot and not starting up at all! So, I have the same issue. I have a t0ltetmo (Galaxy Note 2 on T-Mobile). And whenever I install a lollipop ROM with the gapps, it says "android is upgrading", and when that's done, it goes into an immediate endless bootloop! I can't get it to work at all! Any ideas? Thanks guys!
you can post your question here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-2/help/qa-cyanogenmod-12-unofficial-t2976843
Thank you! I'll move this over there.

Try to boot device without gapps
Then if you device is started good, go into recovery, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. Then flash gapps.
I recommend you to download pico PA gapps. That is the smallest package. Only playstore and google play services, that is enougt. Try this.
Give feedback

I haven't yet tried it with the PA gapps like you said, although I should also add that the ROM doesn't boot without gapps either! I even went as far as formatting my internal memory completely to rule out that it wasn't a file on the internal memory! Same thing, "android is upgrading" (which i've never seen a ROM do after installation) and then a bootloop.
EDIT: I have been using these lollipop gapps. https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps
Bump. Still haven't been able to get this working no matter what I try!

Recovery issue

Hey guys, did anyone encounter some problems when trying to wipe data/do a factory reset using the Cyanogen Recovery? After I updated from CM 12 to CM 12.1 I wanted to do a factory reset. Selecting "Wipe data" got me an error. Upon accessing "logs", I could find that it couldn't mount or find the volume /misc. Oh, and BTW, I can flash CM Updates just fine. I flashed some CM 12.1 compatible Gapps, but they are not working (Google Play Services/Store is not working). That's why I wanted to do a factory reset and then flash Gapps. What can I do now, in order to make it work again?
Anyone?

1. First from CM recovery, flash the recovery from HERE
2. Then reboot to recovery
3. Do the factory reset/wipes from the new recovery
4. Flash the new CM12.1 and gapps
The problem is with the new CM recovery, which doesn't work properly with our device. We can only hope the CM devs will sort it out in time
Let me know how you go

You will actually be flashing an incompatible kernel, but because the kernel and recovery reside in the same partition in the S2, you are actually using just the recovery. If you try to reboot into the system, you will end up with a bootloop. So just flash the "kernel", reboot straight back to the new recovery, then flash what you need from this new recovery, then reboot to the new rom

Ok, I got it now. Partially. ) So, you're telling me that this "PhilZ recovery" is like a "temporary" one? I use it just to do the factory reset, flash the CM 12.1 and then flash Gapps?

Yes thats right. Use it as a tool to flash what you need. Once you flash CM12.1 you will overwrite philz with the CM recovery/kernel that is included in the .zip file you flash. Hopefully this won't be needed in the future

So, I followed your steps and everything went smooth as butter, but I can't flash the Gapps zip. I tried the recommended zip from CyanogenMod website and it outed this:
set_perm: some changes failed
E: Failed to install /sideload/package.zip" error in recovery.

I tried like, 7 Gapps packages (Pico and nano ones) and still, won't work. On some I get the "footer" error, for example. What can I do? Should I use the PhilZ recovery and do a "Full factory reset for flashing a new ROM?

Hello
GS2 already installed with cyanogenmod 10 + clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.9, I wanted to install last cyanogenmod :
- cm-12.1-20150817-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip
- gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip
Starting recovery, wipe data / factory reset , install cm zip, install gapps, reboot. --> getting endless cyanogenmod animated logo, the one which comes at boot.
After poweroff+ boot into recovery again, I was surprised to get the cyanogenmod recovery instead of clockworkmod.
I started a new wipe + cm install, but without gapps + reboot : success !!
After that, trying to install gapps from cyanogedmod recovery failed each time with following message :
finding update package
opening update package
verifying update package
installing update...
installing gapps
set_perm : some changes failed
E: failed to install /sideload/package.zip
E: please take note of all the above lines
installation aborded
was clockworkmod recovery 6.0.2.9 to old to proper install the last cyanogen ?
@sksbir
Yes you need to use a newer recovery. Try flashing one of the newer kernels for this device, reboot back to recovery, then flash rom and gapps

Thank's for your quick answer.
So let me resume the situation:
- my clockworkmod was too old, and CM 12 recovery have some problems.
- once CM12.1 is installed, recovery is overwritten with CM recovery.
- so each time you need to do a wipe/factory reset once CM12 is installed, you first have to
> boot to CM recovery
> install a "good" recovery like philz's one to overwrite CM recovery
> reboot again to recovery ( the philz's one )
> install CM12 from recovery
> install Gapps from recovery
> reboot
[Edit] done. Installation is now complete, ( with cm-12.1-20150819-NIGHTLY-i9100.zip and gapps-5.1-arm-2015-07-17-13-29.zip, using "install a new rom" within wipe/factory reset option of Philz recovery ) but I'm not sure it is successfull :
- stuck in startup wizard after signing up with google account. I had to ignore the step to complete the wizard
- no Google Playstore app . Other google applications are here.
I tryed to install the playstore from an apk extracted from my LG G2 ( with same gapps installed ), but once installed, crash immediately at launch.
- no bluetooth : crash the control panel. bug report sent to CM.
Maybe it's because I did not install properly the whole, maybe it's because the firm is still new and it's a nighty, although the same version run well on my LG G2.
If someone have an clue ? I will soon revert to an older CM if there is no issues. Previous installed CM (V10 snapshot, android 4.4 ) ran well.
[edit] : I will first replay the whole installation , but with [GAPPS][2015-04-04] Google Apps Minimal Edition for Android 5.0.x & 5.1.x instead of full Gapps.

Galaxy S3 In Bootloop After Install Paranoid 5.1

S3 in bootloop after install Paranoid 5.1
Hi all!
I'm in troubles with my S3.
I downloaded paranoid 5.1 for S3 webparanoird /legacy/i9300 (pa_i9300-5.1-20150822.zip), then I saw that I had to download GAPPS , so I downloaded: androidrootz . com/2015/03/download-android-51x-lollipop-pa-gapps.html (STOCK version), and finllay I read that was recommended to use boeffla-kernel, so I went to his web and downloaded last version (boeffla-kernel-4.0-alpha13-CM12.1-NG-i9300.recovery.zip).
After get it all, I put it in the SDCard, I when in recovery, I did Wipes: dalvik, cache and data. Then I install in this order (I read this order somewhere) ROM, then, GAPPS, then wiped cache again, finally I install Boeffla kernel. Then wiped again dalvik and cache and rebooted the phone, but before reboot TRWP said If I wanted to root the phone, so I accept. Finally, phone restart, but is in bootloop from more than 30 mins.
How can -I make run the device,??
Thanks in advance

boeffla alpha 13 is based on latest unofficial cm12.1 release 7 by Justarchi, which was released some days ago. Your desired ROM is older (08.22) so maybe it does not support the newer kernel. try to cleanly flash the rom and gapps again without flashing any additional kernel (wipe system, data, cache, flash rom then gapps, no additional steps needed). If it boots with stock kernel. you can try different older releases of boeffla kernel if one of them boots. if you want to go back to stock kernel, you simply have to reflash the rom without wipe (data will be kept)
btw, your desired gapps seems to be a bit old. try some newer one and use a small package (mostly they are called pico/nano or mini package) with only the core gapps needed for playstore and download all additional gapps you need from playstore. IMO it is the better way. there are many actual and good gapps available, for example open gapps, slim gapps, delta gapps, banks gapps, etc.... (I personally use open gapps pico package)

OK, I have installed with out more problems.
What I have done:
I install first of all, the Stock rom, to run the phone. (so the pone was as stock)
then.
- Downloaded TRWP for I9300, and flashed with Odin.
- Copied Rom Paranoid, PicoGapss from OppenGapps and boefflakernel (this time, this version to be sure: boeffla-kernel-4.0-alpha1-CM12.1-NG-i9300.recovery)
- Restarted phne in recovery mode, and whiped Data, system, cache and Dalvik.
- Installed from SD, first the rom, then the gapps, and restarted the phone, but didnt worked, so I go again to recovery
- Install Boeffla Kernel, whiped chache and dalvik, and restarted again.
- TRWP asked for root the phone, so YES ! XD
The waint less than 5 mins, and phone started .
Thanks for all the help!
@xShudyx: Paranoid official is imo the only S3-ROM, which came and still come with non-booting kernel. So think about its usability. As mentioned here, alpha 3 or Anykernel alpha 4 works. But they are outdated too.

GT-i9505 - CyanogenMod 13.0 - cant get google apps to work

Hi;
So i recently installed CyanogenMod 13.0 on to my Samsung S4 GT-I9505 using the first download link on:
https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=jfltexx --> cm-13.0-20160102-NIGHTLY-jfltexx.zip
That all installed fine, but i wanted to get the Google apps installed aswell, which is where i am having some issues.
I have been trying to install the following package:
http://opengapps.org/?api=6.0&variant=nano
but have also tried to install quite a few others as well, and all have exactly the same issue. Basically after the apps have been installed and i boot the device up, i get various error messages like:
unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped
unfortunately, google play services has stopped
Any help on fixing this would be much appreciated, as nothing seems to download from the play store thats included in Cyanogen, they just say "your download will begin shortly" but never does.
Thanks in advance
I am a total noob, but I had exactly this problem. The issue appears to be that you have to flash gapps *before* rebooting after flashing CM. In my case since I had already flashed CM before I flashed gapps I had to put the gapps file on the phone (I did this by push with adb, you might find an easier way), re-flash CM, wipe cache/dalvik, flash gapps, wipe cache/dalvik, reboot. It worked.
The easiest guide I found was on androiding.how, called "how to install cm13 (cyanogenmod13)." (The forum won't let me post a link, just google it, it should come up).
Hope that helps. I'm on a galaxy s5 and used twrp recovery if that matters.

Thanks for the reply, i gave that a try and it seems to be stuck on a loop now with "installing app # of 22" . it completes the installation and then reboots, after about 5 minutes on the Cyanogen boot screen, it goes back to installing apps again.
Hm, did you do a factory reset in your recovery before re-flashing CM and gapps? If not, that might be necessary.

That's about the limit of my ability right there, hopefully someone with more experience than me can point you in the right direction. Good luck.
Boot to recovery (preferably TWRP)
Wipe cache / dalvik cache / data / system
Flash CM13 and the gapps you were trying first
Reboot
Profit!
Since you keep flashing different gapps on top of the system, this is probably causing some issues. Once you fully wipe and reflash everything, it should work.

Ive tried that multiple times using twrp (i always wipe everything before i flash CM13 and gapps), i still get the exact same issue. The second the phone boots, i get all these "unfortunately ******** has stopped".
Perhaps try installing 12.1 with gapps, get it all updated then upgrade to 13. I did the accidental upgrade to 13 but have had no issues whatsoever.

CyanogenMod update for s2 without lose data

I have updated my galaxy s2 with cyanogenmod 13 and with gapps nano.
To install gapps without problems, I followed this steps:
1-reboot in philz recovery mode
2-Install cyanogen rom ( don't reboot)
3- Install gapps nano
4-Reboot
Now I would like to update cyanogen with nightly update without lose data. I tried to use cyandelta but some errors appear ( permission denied..)
I rebooted in recovery and now I have a clockwork recovery.
Can I install the nightly update with this recovery mode and without lose data and settings?
I have to install gapps nano another time to avoid problems?
Can you describe me step by step what I have to do?

if not done yet i would recommend to increase partitions to 1 gb system and 4gb.
And I would install isorec recovery twrp 3.0.2-1 because cm recovery is not very useful.
Please read noob friendly guide "want update to cm13...." by Saber who made also one for "increase system partition.

If you use the official CM13, you can try the inbuilt update option. You can find it in Settings --> About Phone --> Cyanogenmod updates. There were bugs for a long time, but as far as I know everything has been fixed.
Or try out a dirty flash. Just flash the newer Nightly zip in recovery with wipe of /cache and /dalvik. Not sure if it is also necessary to reflash Gapps.
Edit: I ask myself if updating via settings still works since they switched to Lineage OS... If you try it please report here.
