Sorry, I have been searching for a while now and just don't have the answer. I used TWRP to load AOKP-38 on my Fire. Now I want to load the google play store and get the netflix app, but I'm not sure how to install the apk. I have it, and I put it on the SD card at the root thinking I could install it that way through the install function of TWRP, but that has to be a zip file, and I am just not sure how to do it. I've been searching but I'm getting worn out and no answer. I read about side loading possibly, but not sure what that is. I saw mention of that in the fire beginners thread, but I still don't know anything about the procedure. I'm on a Mac if it helps to know for any help.
I was previously on the Modaco rom so this was all kind of done for me since I was still using the stock fire interface.
Please tell me how and thanks for helping me install it. I'm borderline frustrated since I haven't been able to solve it myself, and I just wanna get Netflix on it and watch some Top Gear UK.
yeah just start fresh wipe wipe wipe but not your sdcard please!!!! Flash rom flash gapps http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip reboot enjoy
If what the Thepooch said doesn't work which since you have not replied I think it did. Though you could flash a rom that already has it with it gede for example.
Thank you, I've installed the rom and it works of course though it looks like I'm back to stock. I did like the other one however, just wanted the google play store. Was I supposed to reset EVERYTHING and wipe clean like i did? I screwed that up. What was the proper way to keep the ROM and install this?
You should always wipe find the rom that you would like to install w/ the gapps that I suggest wipe wipe wipe flash rom flash gapps reboot.
I believe I gotcha there. I went with the Hellfire CM9 in the mean time and seems to be pretty good as well.
Thx for info

Ok so, I was flashing CM7-GX4...everything was going fine until I flashed GAPPS, now I'm stuck at two screens alternating between the CM7 boot animation and the screen that says "Welcome to PC36100", upon this screen loading it quickly restarts the CM7 boot animation, so on and so forth. I am able to get into CWM recovery. Please help.
Thank you in advance.
thats a boot loop, looks like you want to wipe everything and try again

What if the PC36IMG file is renamed? I changed the name previously per the instructions of some thread I saw somewhere. Could this be the problem?
well you lost me at the hboot image. The only time i have ever had to use a file like that is when i was rooting my phone.
I also do not use cwm, so i am kinda limited in the help i can provide. Did you wipe your system/data/cache before you flashed cm7?
I wiped everything. I've put the SD card in another phone and renamed it back to PC36IMG...lets see what happens LOL
Renamed file back to PC36IMG...still stuck in boot loop
What exactly are you using the pc36img for?

I'm not using it for anything. It's just there from back when I rooted the phone. I had renamed it a while ago. Everything was going fine, install CM7 GX4 ROM, rebooted, attempted to install GAPPS and thats when I got stuck going back and forth between the two screens. I have put the SD card in another phone and renamed it to the original PC36IMG (figuring since I was stuck at a screen saying Welcome to PC36100 it couldnt find the file or something), and I'm still having the same problems. I've wiped and wiped and wiped using CWM and reinstalled CM7-GX4 several times and am still getting the same bootloop.
I'm running a restore from CWM...hopefully that will take me back to a point where I can do something.
yeah, you dont need the pc36img after you root so that is not the problem. My only guess is that cwm is not wiping everything properly or you are missing a step in the install process. I guess you can try a few things:
See if your cwm recovery is up to date (i know earlier versions had issues clearing out properly, but that has since been fixed)
Start back from the beginning of the install process with that rom. Make sure to wipe data, system, and cache, and go back through step by step (sometimes it is easy to overlook a step). Also i noticed in the rom you are using it says to make sure to flash the wi-max kernel, so make sure you do that.
Lastly, I have never used that rom, but if you do not need 4g you can try flashing the actual cyanogenmod nightlies. They are very stable (its what i am running now), and you can grab the latest nightly from:http://mirror.teamdouche.net and grab the gapps from: http://goo-inside.me (universal package)
Sorry to lay a crap load of info on you, but i just don't know what would cause it. A bootloop (which is what you are experiencing with the going back and forth between screens) basically means something did not install right and is making your phone restart over and over.

I ran the recovery and got back to an old point. I guess I'll try again! Weird that it happened after flashing GAPPS as everything was fine up until that point. I'll grab the gapps from your source. Thanks!

Well, i would only use the gapps from the link i provided if you are going to flash the official cm7 nightlies. I wouldnt mix and match! i surely don't want to cause further problems for you! lol. I was reading over that rom and I am not sure why you would need to reboot between installing the rom and the gapps. But again, not familiar with that version!
Sorry i couldnt help more hope you get it!

Ok Fellow EVO owners, for those of you still around, I know you are busy applying the S-Off and Root to your phones, but have any of you tried the next steps of loading another ROM? I am currently trying to load on CM7, however after it finishes flashing the ROM, it boots into the flash animation and just stays there. Tried clearing cache to no avail. Looking for possible solution...
Need more information.
Most likely you aren't wiping SYSTEM, however.
Flash Dalvik?
What information do you need?
I have to admit I am new to the Android scene. Phone was updated to the OTA when I purchased so I have been lurking till now.
Here is what details I have:
S-Off via the Revolutionary method just released
Replaced Clockworks with Amon-RA
Successfully performed backup and restore of device to test
Downloaded CM7 latest Stable version and placed on SD-Card
Booted into recovery and wiped Cache and Dalvik-cache
Flashed .zip from SD-Card
Got the message that it was successful
Within Amon-Ra selected reboot device
Device booted into the flash screen for CM7 and it just keeps cycling that screen over and over, it never actually proceeds into the OS
If you need more let me know.
Thanks
You need to wipe everything.

First let me say, Welcome to the flashing scene. You will be an addict and we're here to help you out
I would recommend flashing this first:
http://dc370.4shared.com/download/KV-YsWJ7/VR_SUPERWIPE.zip?tsid=20110815-030517-d546271d
This will wipe your phone's memory.
Then flash the CM7.zip. Let me know how this goes for you dude.
Wipe Data, System, Cache, Dalvik, android.secure, SDext, boot, and everything I might've forgotten (except SD card). Flash VR Superwipe (http://www.virusrom.com/Tools/VR_SUPERWIPE.zip). Flash Cyanogenmod, flash GAPPS (Google Apps: you want this if you want Market and such - packaged separately due to legal issues). Reboot, enjoy

I looked around for like an HOUR trying to figure out the gapps issue, couldn't find the package. (day 3 of S-off/root)
I do have a question tho, is the SPRINT Visual Voicemail available in the market or do you need a special package to get it to work? I have seen a little about it on the forums but have yet to find much info..
I know there is a gapps zip in the evo deck thread that has sprint vvm included. That rom is very similar to cm so you could try flashing that gapps instead.
Anyone know if cm7 and that gapps package has been tried... going to bed now but could try tmrw.

If u search on here there is a fix for the sprint vvm. If when on a sense rom use titanium backup to back up sprint vvm including data. Then once u flash cm7 and its up and running use titanium backup to restore sprint vvm + data. There is a flashable zip also somewhere around here. Id link u to the thread but I'm on my phone right now
To op if all the wiping doesn't seem to work it could be ur SD card. Sometimes it goes bad. Transfer everything off and then format SD card after that transfer things back and try again

I appreciate it. I tossed the one from the DECK EVO thread on the card, did a backup and will try flashing it tomorrow... i gotta got to work in a few hours and this website is like crack, I can't stop trolling...
confirmed, the gapps+vm from the deck evo thread worked like a charm..
Hello all. I am rooting my gfs cuz KF. I applied root using the .96 auto root tool. 2.2.2.1 twrp recovery that ran 6.3.1 amazon software. I flashed 3-4 roms and they wouldn't let me get passed the android set up guy. I clicked on the android and it says "sorry, setup wizard cannot be opened." So I found the glazed ics rom that didnt have the set up menu. Flashed the glazed rom and it boots up. When I go in to set up my wifi connection it says authorized failed. And them acquire network connection, and then back to authorization. Is their something I could have done wrong in root? Is their something I can do to fix! Please help!

Explain your exact method you`re using to flash a rom and gapps in full detail. What wipes you are doing, everything from beginning to end. Maybe its just better off I tell you how?
1. Transfer rom.zip and matching gapps.zip to your sdcard in zip form. ( Matching gapps as in the correct one for Gingerbread ,ICS or Jelly Bean there`s one designed for each system)
2. When in recovery wipe factory reset , wipe cache , wipe dalvik , wipe system.
3. Flash rom.zip , flash gapps.zip , when done select reboot then system if prompted.
Do you believe you are missing any of these step? In this order? Bet you are.
Good luck
Edit: If gapps are included no need to flash them but sometimes when prebaked in you can experience mounting issues. This doesn`t sound like your problem sounds more like missed steps and a dirty flash.
Thank you sir. I am going to do it how you said. I am doing the wiping out of order. I am flashing using twrp recovery. It boots up it just really weird how the wifi wont work. If you dont mind if it does not work I will send you a PM. If that will be alright. Thank you again. I will try this tonight.

That`s fine let me suggest a rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778010 Twrp is what you want to be flashing with.
Hello, before people jump on me I have searched a million times and read basically the whole 200 page thread of the ROM i am trying to install without finding my answer. I am new to rooting but can follow directions very well and have watched a ton of QBKing's Videos.
Well here we go...I have had nothing but problems trying to install Jellybean jellybomb on my S3.
I flashed freegs3 no problem and thought it was cool but I want to try jellybean. So I factory reset, wiped both cache, installed LiH modem and rom and it gets stuck every time on "Android is upgrading...Starting applications" with that spinning icon but the icon starts and stop and start and stops and it never gets past that point. I've tried so many things but I can get it to work.
Ive been using twrp but I would like to try using CWM to see if that works but I do not know how to switch from twrp to CWM.... can anybody help me with getting this thing working?
Did you also wipe Data?
I have done this - - Wipe: Factory Reset / Cache / Dalvak Cache
Is there more to wipe? Also I did get CyanogenMod 10 Nightly Build to load just fine on my phone. But i really want to try the jellybomb jellybean.
Sounds like you have done everything properly, twrp works fine no real need to go to cwm. Try to dl rom again and not directly to phone to your pc then copy to root of phone

I have been dl'ing on computer and then putting it on the phone to flash. Maybe i should try the other way. I have dl'd the file 2x thinking it got messed up while downloading but no dice.
Another weird question. When loading FreeSG3 my wallpaper was the same from before... is my twrp not fully wiping everything?
**do you think i should uninstall titanium backup and reflash everything?
Ok I've been reading and reading these threads and have found a lot of great info. Right now my phone is useless so I guess I'm asking for a little more specific info for my current situtation. I used mskip's toolkit to root my phone then followed wwjoshdew's video on how to use goomanager to flash CyanogenMod 10.1.2. Everything seemed to be going fine when I got the spinning blue circle screen then came the "Unfortunately, setup wizard has stopped" and "Unfortunately, the process com.google.process.gapps has stopped". Over and over and over. I can get to download mode and recovery mode but not sure what my next coarse of action should be. This is on an AT&T galaxy s3 originally running 4.1.1. Thanks in advance to any and all help....
I wouldn't use goo manager to flash anything!! U should have flashed straight from recovery, be it cwm or twrp. Did u perform a nandroid backup before u flashed cyan? If so, I would wipe, factory data reset, and install your backup.
Have you tried reflashing Google Apps?
Reboot to recovery, clear cache/dalvik, reflash GApps, clear cache/dalvik again to be sure all is tidy.
Also be sure you have the correct version of GApps; that has messed me up at least once.
Other than that you can always retry the whole process i.e. CM and Apps
Thanks for the replies. I'll try and figure that stuff out. Only reason I've gotten this far was because I was following the toolkit prompts and did the steps in the video as he did them. This is the first time I've tried anything except updating to JB so...
Well, I can't say I've made any progress. I googled correct gapps for cm 10.1.2 and downloaded it but it's like a big collection of stuff that odin won't put in the PDA file spot. I'm not even sure if its the right one. I'm so lost right now. I see all these cwm and twrp recovery files in the toolkit files but not sure if they would help me or not. I know this is fixable since I can still get into recovery and download mode. At this point I would even just go back to stock at least that way I could get rooted again through the toolkit. I'm guess I'm such a noob that I need step by step. I feel like my right arm is missing not having a phone...
Ok I have 2 different versions of gapps that claim to be the right one. I would love to try flashing them to try them out but odin doesn't see them. What am I doing wrong?
Which recovery do u have installed on your phone?
For one dont use odin to flash any custom roms, first download the latest cyanogen mod and gapps, if you need the latest gapps you can get them here. Next you are going to want to boot to recovery and do a factory reset/full wipe then wipe cache/dalvik cache, next go to the top and select load zip from sd card, install cyanogen mod and gapps and reboot the phone.
Ok something different happened this time when I went into recovery. TWRP v2.3.3.1 showed up. I wiped the cache/Dalvik and did the factory reset from there. I have cm-10.1.2-d2att and gapps-jb-20130301-signed ready to copy somewhere. I opened the internal card and saw 8 or so icons that said local disk. so I created a new folder and put the cm and gapps files in there. Does that sound right?
Well that seems to have worked. Rebooted and went through all the google stuff. I'll test everything and see how it works
Glad u got it working!! I usually download Roms straight from my phone, over WiFi of course, and place on the root of the SD card, not in a folder, and flash from there...
