Gmail opens but can't find server market app just loops to home screen
Make sure you are using the following gapps:
12/11/10 GAPPS
I'm not sure which one you used, but it may be outdated.
Do the following:
1) Wipe data and cache from your phone via recovery.
2) Flash and boot a rooted stock ROM.
3) Wipe data and cache from your phone via recovery.
4) Flash CM 6.1 from recovery.
5) Flash HDPI Gapps 12/11 from recovery.
6) Boot, wait for home screen.
7) If you have problems, run this command:
Code:
adb logcat > %userprofile%\Desktop\logcat.txt
and post the text file to pastebin.com, and then link it to us here.
I flashed miui buzz beta 7(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1593059) and the flashed gapps but when i reboot i cant find any of gapps apk.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Can you access the market (Play Store)?
Anyway, when you flash the Gapps..... after rebooting, you will be provided all Google apps list in market. You need to select and install the required apps.
you must log into your google account in settings accounts
gapps succesfully installed, can't find google play
As described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S/GT-I9001 I installed quickflasher Quickflasher from broodplank (i9001_Quick_Flasher_v1.4.rar) and used this image: recovery-clockwork-5.5.0.4-ariesve.zip. I Wiped data/factory reset and did Wipe Cache partition. However I did not have the option Advanced > Wipe dalvik cache in CWN recovery.I was able to succesfully install CyanogenMod 9 ALPHA (Build 4) with update-cm-9-20120606-SNAPSHOT-ariesve-alpha4-signed.zip. Then I succesfully installed gapps package gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip with MD5SUM: 7c524e1e078164f681e0aa6753180b2c.
However after reboot I expected to see Google Play on the home screen or between the installed applications. What did I do wrong?

In recovery mode I wiped cache and then reinstalled gapps. After reboot a lot of files were updated and I could login with my google account. Thanks
My bootloader is unlocked by unlock-bootloader.com. My Phone is an R800x Xperia Play. I installed the Darkforest5 ICS Kernal onto it, and then went into CWM and installed the 0605 R800x Zip file from PaxChristo.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1591285
Anyways, I have tried countless times to install it, but every time, it just hangs at "Installing ROM". Then, when it finally gets done "installing", it just says "finished installing", without any output whatsoever. (I deleted davlik-cache, user data, cache, etc beforehand by the way)
Then, when I choose to reboot the device, it goes to the boot screen, and just sits there. I have no clue what's wrong with it. The kernels, etc. seemed to install correctly, but the ROMS always seem to fail in installation. Any ideas?
hmm try CM9 RC1, I'm newbie and can't post links, but go to cyanogenmod com, click on GET CYANOGEN, look for your xperia play, select experimental mod, download cm-9.0.0-RC1-zeus.zip and save de file, open it an extract the boot img and put it into the same folder together fastboot.exe and copy the zip file to your SD-Card, then, search in google: "Sony Ericsson Xperia Play (GSM): Full Update Guide", follow the instructions and thats all. I recommend to install gapps.
Basically, you first install de kernel (boot.img), then boot in CWM, do a factory reset (or clear data and cache) and dalvik cache clear, then install de zip, and install gapps, then reboot. good luck (sorry, my english is very poor )
Ok. DO NOT follow the post above me. It's very wrong.
You'll need to be on the .57 baseband then download the ZEUSC file from here:
http://uploaded.to/folder/h2ea89
Once it's downloaded extract the boot.img from the rom. Place the rom on the root of your sdcard. Flah the boot.img, then boot into recovery. WIPE EVERYTHING. flash rom and gapps. reboot. ENJOY!!!
I have a rooted stock kf, and everything was fine until I installed the app "google market fix" [Not a good idea:] Now the logo flashes for a second and the screen is blacklit forever. I have access to TWRP, what do I do? (I'm not sure what flashing is? Can I just wipe everything then run the KF utility?)

this is what I would do go here http://loadbalancing.modaco.com/dow...gned-MD5-569fe6550cfcfba68dabc3d088324a46.zip download this mount your sd card in twrp transfer this rom file to your sd card then unmount go to wipe wipe factory reset wipe cache wipe dalvik go to install install rom when finished reboot and your set
Boot into TWRP, then connect the Fire to a Computer as an external drive.
Then you can copy over a ROM of your liking, backup the fire, wipe the fire, install the ROM and reboot fresh.
After you have the custom ROM working, you can get to installing back the stock ROM using Amazon Software update.

I just got a Kindle Fire from a relative that wanted root access, and have performed several in the past without incident. When I was trying to use KFU to root with Superuser ("#2 option"), I accidentally bumped my booby-trapped keyboard's sleep mode button which shut off the monitor. When I turned it back on, I didn't realize my wifi disconnected and I entered option #2 to root (I'm not even sure internet access is relevant to the process). I immediately got errors which caused my Kindle Fire to get stuck at the splash screen. Using KFU, I changed the boot back to normal with option #1. Upon resuming root w/ superuser (that is, after selecting #2), it started rebooting and whatnot but got hung up at a point. KFU says "Attempt to remove root checker. / mv: can't rename 'system/bin/check_rooted': No such file or directory. / Please wait..." and never finishes. Meanwhile, my Kindle is stuck on the TWRP screen with Install, backup, etc. and won't move past. I have never experienced this screen before with the other roots that I have done; it just moves right into normal display after KFU does it's thing. Being the self-proclaimed techy that I erroneously think I am, I rolled up my sleeves and immediately googled a bootloop fix that seemed to be common with TWRP (command prompt > "adb shell" > changing boot to 4000), but I couldn't get the results the original poster got (I switched my environmental variables to allow for it, but still nothing). Against my better judgement, I will include that I got TWRP to let me into normal Kindle Fire operations and I factory reset it (which is fine, because it was factory to begin with) but TWRP is still showing up. I would have just played it safe and handed it back to my relative without root, but I'm not sure they could get past TWRP boot, and I wouldn't even want to do that to them if it was unavoidable. I have included everything I think was relevant to my troubles, and would be greatly appreciative if someone can glean from what I've done my level of understanding and guide me through this BS. A routine magic trick that I share with my less-tech-savvy family and friends has turned into a headache. To be clear, my question is how do I either A) get rid of TWRP (which seems like taboo from what I've read so far), or B) get back to a condition where I can start the whole rooting process over without interruptions, as I feel that is why I am in this mess. The goal is to get the Kindle Fire to a point where all my relative has to do is turn it on and go (no TWRP screens, bootloops, etc.) I can handle what follows after KFU rooting (namely, installing google market.....nothing like CM7 and the like.) Thank you.:good:

Yeah, sorry. I just wanted to be complete, and I wasn't sure how much information would end up being useful. I'll let you know how it goes, and thanks for the reply!
Try this...
Acquire FireFireFire 1.4.zip and transfer it to your sdcard. Boot into twrp and install FireFireFire1.4.zip. Search the FFF thread for information on how to use it. I think that will either fix most of your problems or set it up to fix them easily

At the risk of coming off ignorant, I am going to clarify what I need to do so I don't dig my hole even deeper. Please excuse me
I used the first link to download FFF. It came with the folders "cache" and "META-INF" and the single file "padfile". I assume mounting the SD card needs to be done through the TWRP screen, or do you mean on the Kindle Fire itself? Which part of the FFF download needs to be transferred to the SD card; the contents of "cache" or "META-INF", the padfile, or all of it? Do I just drop it onto the SD card, or does it have to be put somewhere special?
I understand how to get into Recovery mode on TWRP, and I will again assume that I need to mount the sd card in TWRP. What contents from the second link (Modaco) do I need to put on sd card, and where (if somewhere special)? It downloaded as a .zip, so should I just leave it that way and drop it onto the sd card?
I saw on TWRP where to wipe everything you mentioned, so I think I got it covered there. Also how to install flash rom.
You mentioned that Modaco already has google play, so I am going to also assume that this will conclude the fix, unless something unexpected pops up. I will try to work through your suggestion, but if you can let me know if any of my understanding is incorrect, I would be very much obliged!
I see that the SD mounting will probably come from within TWRP itself, since I will need to use "Install" for the rom flash, but I am still confused as to how to transfer it over and where it needs to go inside of SD card if there are any special rules for it.
Do not unzip the file! Place the .zip file on your sdcard as is and install it with twrp as you would a rom...no wipes

Are you referring to your own suggestion soupmagnet, or my question about what to do with the FFF or Modaco .zip? If it's a reply to my question, should I just leave both of them zipped, or just the Modaco one, or what? How do I place them on my SD card for that matter? Through TWRP (which I don't think I know how to do) or onto the Kindle Fire directory on My Computer? I've never installed anything with TWRP; in the past, I've never had to use the screen that I'm seeing now ;p Should I not use any wipes as the first reply suggested? I am confusing myself at this point.
fff you flash in zip form you don't unzip it no wipes needed a rom you wipe prior and then flash in zip form as well
I am seeing on the Modaco website that wipe is not required.
Not for you ... you must wipe...

This is what I'm about to do as succinct as I can be (as per Thepooch's instructions):
1. Download FFF from the first link. Keep it .zip
2. Transfer FFF by mounting SD within TWRP menu.
3. Flash fff
4. Power off.
5. Enter Recovery TWRP.
6. Mount SD again, then transfer .zip Modaco (not the alt version)
7. Wipe factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe system.
8. Install Modaco rom
9. Reboot
10. Give to family member and refuse all other requests
Flash fff before powering off.. flash fff before powering off or rebooting guess that better
Crap we made it to thread page 2. I really didn't mean to make this harder than it had to be, I just wanted to be sure of what needed to be done. Thanks again gents for all the input
Mmm, incredible Everything appears to be in order. No TWRP screen and Google Play is included. Thank you so much for the fix. Not completely sure what went wrong, but glad you knew how to get around it. Omne ignotum pro magnifico!
Solved.:highfive:
OK now try to access recovery again to make sure the bootloader works as it should
---------- Post added at 11:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 PM ----------
Also now create a backup something you could not do before because I believe the system was broken
Entered recovery without any problems. Created a backup, as well. Every boot since has gone straight to Kindle Fire; no TWRP menu Excellent, because it would have been a pain to explain that whole process to my relative. Great stuff!
Glad it worked everyone's happy no harm done
Help!
Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. I came across this thread because I was having and identical problem, but unfortunately, I am not having the same result. If anyone can help me I would greatly appreciate it. These are the steps I carried out based on what I got from this thread.
1. Downloaded fff-u-boot_v1.4a and Gr9.2-update-modacocustomrom-kindlefire-unsigned-MD5 zip, placed it on the root of the SD card
2. In TWRP, I entered install and selected the zip.
3. From that screen I hit reboot.
4. I went to Reboot->Recovery
5. Wiped factory reset, cache, dalvik, system.
6. Installed Gr9.2-update-modacocustomrom-kindlefire-unsigned-MD5-569fe6550cfcfba68dabc3d088324a46.zip file
8. Rebooted...
But after all this it went right back into TWRP. I am sure I am just missing something obvious, please help.

You almost got it. When you install a ROM and want to boot to it from recovery, select "reboot system". You can still change your bootmode on the fly with FFF1.4 by holding the power button when you see the Kindle Fire logo until you see the boot options appear at the bottom.
