Cyanogen mod, cannot get google apps to load

I am loving cyanogen, but I am definitely missing something when I flash google apps. I get to the installation, but when I try to install it always gets interrupted. I try to skip it, but I cannot get back to it later, opening market does not work. How am I supposed to come back to install gapps later?

Re-download the gapps.zip, put it on your SD card, go into cwm > flash gapps.zip > reboot.
It should work. If not, then extract the zip and copy the .apks one-by-one to your SD card, and push them to your system/app. Not sure if that would actually work, but it's possible.

Reflashing doesn't do anything I just tried it again. The only way to get it to try installing again is to wipe data, then I have to sign back in and I get interrupted again. There is a way to cancel it to come back later but when I hit cancel I can't figure out how to come back.

you're making sure to flash the gapps.zip from the cwm recovery, right? it has to be on the root of your sdcard, then boot into recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip" -> scroll to gapps.zip

Yep I am doing it that way, just tried again right now and nothing happens on reboot unless I do a factory reset. If I just knew how to come back to it later it would be ok

1. Clear data, dalvik, cache - rinse and repeat 3 times total.
2. Re-odin EH17 stock, found in the dev forum. Let the phone boot to startup.
3. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the GAPPS file.
4. Restart phone - check to see if the flash took.
5. Boot into CWM recovery, clear dalvik, cache 3 times, flash CM7 over EH17 stock...
Let me know if this process works for you.
May or may not work, it would solve the problem temporarily for me but would soon have problems. I shortly moved away from CM7 to Urban Metamorphosis.

OK, thanks I might give that a try, if it was just a temporary fix for you though it will probably only work for a while for me too. Doesn't anyone know how to postpone running it? It says to do so right when the app runs, but no one knows how to do it?

You don't need to flash the GAPPS pack - only if you want to use the market, sync contacts etc. and use voice/maps so on. If you continually cannot get past try ODIN'ing a different modem. EH06 worked much better for me over EH17.

I'm uing eh06 modem. Never went to eh17
Anyways, I downloaded all the gapps from the market one by one. I flashed the zip and they didn't show up so I did it the long way

Mobile Odin

Hey just a quick question, can i use mobile Odin to Odin back to sfhub's el29 and are there any side effects,i can't get to my computer right now to use the one clicks and this fe16 build is eating my battery like a fat man at an all you can eat!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

What you can do is Odin the el26 with cwm kernal and boot into recovery before it tries to load the rom. From there just wipe everything including cache and dalvik cache and flash your rom and you're good to go.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA

You can. You'd have to extract the exe from the 7zip file and place that on to your SD card. Sfhub has directions on how to do it in his post. I have done this more than a few times.
However there have been some recent posts about even Mobile Odin bricking phones. I don't know your current ROM, Kernel or setup. But me not being able to go with out a phone for a few days is going to keep me using PC Odin for reverting back to a GB ROM/Kernel.
Also I'm not sure what why your battery consumption is so high on FE16 either. Mine and many others here have had good battery life even with heavy use. You may consider re-flashing the 'Reset Data' option to clear up your system and then maybe try another ROM with battery tweaks in mind.

I did the reset option when i flashed this build,have no clue why the battery is dying either.but with your guys replies i think i well wait till i get to my PC don't want a brick

yeah basically each rom has it's own specific kernel that has to be used when you are on that rom. SO if you want to go back to an other kernel make sure that the rom doesn't load after flashing that kernel it will die. Right now there are really not to many options to change to when on a specific rom like ICS.
Flash kernel phone will reboot, as soon as it turns off do three button combo and go into recovery. Flash calkilins format all and then flash the rom again and see what you get the next time.

[Q] New ICS official Update Can't Get Past Reboot in CWM

I was running stock rooted G.B. 2.3.6 and just to see what would happen (I kinda knew already) I did the official upgrade to the ICS 4.0.3. Of course it went from UVKL1 to UVLE1 and I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup and also with Rom Manager. I lost root, because I did a factory reset because it wouldn't install the first 2 times. Oh, I was doing it through Kies. I wanted to do it by the book sort of.So after the install I tried to get root again but when I got into CWM recovery I had no functions working except reboot. No update.zip from sd, or anything else. I could scroll up and down and stop on the different options but when I pushed the button to make the choice it jumped back to reboot and that is all I can get. I rebooted and retried 4 or 5 times and same thing. So, now what ? I like the 4.0.3 but hate the massive amount of bloat and the ads and f**ked up notification popup/ads. I want my root back. I would be willing to start fresh again with a good, fast, everything works, custom ICS but don't know which to choose. that is one of the reasons why I tried this "official" upgrade. Again, as always, Thanks in advance for everyone who helps anyone here on XDA. K.K.-Out

Have you tried reflashing cwm?

Thanks ToledoG28, I tried that link and it wasn't a good page. I appreciate the effort. Maybe you could double check it and let me know.

OP: Here's CWM 5.0.2.6. After flashing and once youre back into your phone, you can install ROM manager and upgrade to whatever you want. Push this via Odin.

This happened to me. I had just had to wipe the cache in recovery and it booted. I would try that first

You have to use darkside wipe and darkside cache wipe. The regular recovery wipe isn't working properly.

You just need to Odin ics.

I got it solved you guys. Thanks to all of you. I did another factory reset, and then found the actual T989 Hercules .tar file (the one I used was from a post for ICS from November or December and was actually an Infuse tar file.) and reinstalled it. I was able to after I got cwm recovery old style not touch. Touch was what was giving me problems. So I Odin the new Hercules.tar and then rereinstalled Superuser zip and everything went smooth. The only thing I am seeing as a problem is the phone won't sleep. If I have the phone plugged in, I can't shut it off. It wants to immediately turn itself back on. I like to have it shut down and charge at night sometimes. But it won't let me. Any ideas? Thanks again everybody.

I'd almost say it's bad flash/download and use of wifi hotspot hack.

Can you give a little more information about your situation please? Did you update from an earlier version recently? Did you flash the full ROM over another ROM? Did you make sure to wipe the phone before flashing?
The more we know can possibly help lead to a quicker resolution.

dont really know to much about this stuff im a newbie by i follow directions to the T.. I installed to sd card rebooted in custom recovery and did a calks wipe and installed... Also i made sure it was on a gb rom before anything... 3.2.6 to be exact.. So did i do something wrong or am i missing something...? Open to any opinions... I really wanna learn how to navigate through these processes..

You don't have to be on a GB ROM to flash it, just need GB recovery or one of the format files (Calkulin or Rujelus) to flash for wipe before installing the ROM.
Did you have custom recovery installed?
Did you make sure to grab the full ROM and not just the update?
Did you download directly to your phone or to the computer? If you downloaded to phone then I'd suggest download again but to the computer and then copy to your sd card. Don't re-use the download you already tried to flash, it may have been borked in the downloading process.
(also, GB is 2.3.6, Honeycomb is 3.x)

I would make a backup with CWM and then do a full clean install and see if that helps. If it doesn't help you can always revert back to your backup.

freeze
ive experienced same issue every now and then primarily after reboot it will hang / freeze ect so i just go into adw settings and restart ADW works everytime if your on another launcher try to restart that launcher...

I have experience some of the same issues on 2 different E4GT. I like the the rom but random boots force me back to stock. The most recent phone does not have the EMMC bug in it so I triedd a complete wipe, but the rom would work great for about a day then have random reboots again and sometime blank screens.

flashing problems

ok I've rooted and installed clockwork recovery as per the instructions in the how to. Still each time I go to flash a rom I get nothing but the galaxy sII logo and it hangs there indefinitely. Did I miss a step in these instructions ? I'm on EL29 baseband if that helps.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7pWjmKCsoc
those are the instructions I used. and I don't think I've missed a step. I've reverted back to stock and re rooted my phone and installed clockwork. How do I get roms to actually flash?

Depends, what are you trying to flash?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I see the link in your video is just for rooting, but you can get into CWM? did you try the auto root EL29+CWM? Also, if you are following to Devs instructions on how to flash the ROM you should be good to go. have you tried wiping everything first or just installing it over the previous ROM? i suggest downloading Calkulin's Format All zip. flash it before you flash a ROM.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1527041 its at the bottom of the 1st post.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342728
is this what you used for CWM?

yeah those are the things I used actually to get clockwork. It'll let me use clockwork, wipe everything install whatever but when I go to reboot to start it up it hangs at the galaxy s2 screen. I let it go for 2 hours last night. Any rom honestly would be fine at this point. I'm pretty familure with twrp,cwm,and 4ext from the evo 3d but nothing works with this phone.

Would the steps for flashing a rom say blazer for example be
Wipe data, dalvik, and chache.
flash zip from sd reboot? like normal or am I missing a step with another kernel or something?

it would be the same. but I use the Calkulin's Format All zip to do it for me. I know you do get a longer boot then normal because its building delvik cache but not two hours. have you tried downloading the ROM to your computer and then transfering it over to your phone? I had an issue a few days ago because of a bad download(good thing I had my nandriod). What CWM do you have? 5.0.2.7?

yeah thats the only way I do it actually. D/l from the laptop and copy it to sd. then use calkulins to wipe everything and it still just sits.

I just googled "flash ROM boot loop" it came up with something. What is your default launcher? Some people have had problems if they use for say go launcher or another launcher and not have one set as default. On calkulins ROM.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I am still on the stock rom. only thing I can do is root it with odin and and add clockwork mod with e4gtauto prog. I still have no idea whats going on.

So your on stock TW launcher?
Try flashing a different kernel. Like rogue, that is another recovery based off of CWM. That's what I use, well I use both and haven't had a problem. Another thing is get an MD5 checksum program for your laptop and check the file sum for integrity. Sorry it took me awhile to respond, finally have a day off.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I actually tried flashing one wth mobile odin that I found on the cyanogenmod page. It booted to the android text logo and that was it. so thats a step in the right direction. Should I just flash it through clockwork after I flash the rom like normal?

That's your problem. If your flashing a GB ROM you need a GB kernel. If your flashing an ICS ROM you need preferably EL26 kernel then use CWM to flash the ROM and kernel. flash the rogue kernel in the kernel repository then try flashing a GB ROM. After that then you should be good to go.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

I appreciate the help so much dude. so When I get home I should flash the kernel through odin then boot into recovery n flash the rom n I should be good? or do I just boot into recovery n flash the rom then the kernel? sorry about so many q's.

No problem. That's what the forum is for. let me know how it works out for ya.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

And yes flash it through Odin and boot into recovery and flash your ROM. you can also flash the ROM in CWM and then flash the kernel right after you flash the ROM. It seems to be easier in CWM then Odin.

I must be an idiot or my phone doesn't wanna do it. Tried flashing the kernel and aokp a few times now and got nothing. I must be using the wrong stuff for the Job.

Get yourself back to stock with cwm. Pick a ROM and follow the directions in the op for that specific ROM. If anything seems unclear watch one of qbking77's videos on how to install that ROM. Qb has NEVER steered me wrong.

thats kinda what I've been doing. I got cyanogen to boot with the rogue et recovery fb27 and cm9 but market won't actually work. so I went back to stock. I actually used qbking's videos to start with and followed them and it still just hangs. This is the process I'm using.
flash kernel/recovery through odin.
calkulins wipe all
flash rom
flash gapps if needed for said rom
reboot.
I've also tried without the 1st step.
I've tried flashing the el26 kernel that everyone seems to say is safe through odin and that boots me into the recovery and I try to wipe then flash and it still does nothing. am I just flashing the wrong intitial kernel to begin with? I can't figure out why Im having this problem now since I've had multiple rooted phones in the past with no issues.

But now I'm back on stock gingerbread again completely just rooted and then the did the e4gtauto to get a recovery.
