[Q] CM10.0.0 d2att / gapps-jb-20121011-signed (Gapps will NOT install)

I have recently installed the new stable version of CM10 that was released today. The rom seems to be working fine but i cannot for the life of me get the gapps to install.
here are the steps I have followed to do a FULL CLEAN wipe.
Phone being used: S3 1747 att / Carrier:Bell
Rom=cm-10.0.0-d2att.zip
Gapps=gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip
CWM= d2att 6.0.1.4 touch
1- Boot into recovery
2- Wipe cache
3- Under advanced wipe dalvik cache / battery stats
4- Under mounts: format system, data, and cache
5- Flash the ROM's zip file
6- Flash the gapps zip file
7- Reboot
This has always worked for me and i have no idea why the Gapps will not instal. Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Ive tried 3 times now. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: forgot to mention, the actual install within Clockwork recovery goes fine but when I boot into the rom and check my apps, the gapps are not present. Sorry for any confusion.

Check to make sure signature verification isn't turned off. If it continues, try twrp recovery (to rule out a recovery issue).

Thanks for the quick reply!
I turned signature checking on in ClockWorkMod, Reflashed gapps, wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions. Still does not work.
I then installed TWRP Recovery (latest version for d2att) Factory reset, Wiped cache, Wiped System, Wiped Dalvik. Installed ROM then Gapps both with signature verification turned on. Still no Gapps. Any ideas?
Also tried going back into TWRP, wiped cache, wiped dalvik and fixed permissions. Still no Gapps.

Where did you dl them from? i would try dl'ing again from a different place.

Will report back soon. Thanks again!

I tried many different links including the ones posted above and this still doesnt work. I also got curious and flashed a few older nightly builds mainly:
cm-10-20121110-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121111-NIGHTLY-d2att
cm-10-20121112-NIGHTLY-d2att
and gapps does not work on any of them. There has to be something im doing wrong but i cannot for the life of me figure it out. Im not sure what to try next. Any suggestions?
EDIT: wait a minute... what apps does the gapps package include by default now?
EDIT2: GOOD LORD. I feel so stupid. I was under the impression that navigation, maps the new camera app was part of the 201210 gapps. I somehow forgot that recently I installed the 4.2 leaked apps which came with all the new goodies. Jesus lol. I also remember that installing the 4.2 apps made me lose the launcher options in cm10 settings which is why I have gotten rid of them. I guess this problem is now solved lol

Haha, well normally GAPPS don't include much. Just playstore, voice search (google now) and some other apps I don't remember. Not many though.

[Q] How to get rid of having to do a battery pull

Hey guys,
I always have to pull my battery out multiple times on reboots, or after flashing a rom.
When I change roms, I do a fact. reset and wipe cache/dalvik, on updates of same rom I only do a wipe of cache/dalvik. I tried fixing permissions.
How is this caused ? It eventually boot up every time, just very annoying.
Does wiping system help ? I've read that most rom dev's include it anyway in flashing rom.
Phone: Samsung Galaxy Nexus
Rom: AOSP Paranoid Android 2.99 beta 5
Recovery: TWRP 2.3.2.1
Thnx for your help!

I haven't encountered this but I sometimes get bootloop when I flash Gapps without wiping cache and dalvik. Whenever I flash a new ROM, I do factory reset, wipe system, cache, and dalvik. So you may try wiping all of them and make a fresh install of the ROM then see if this problem keeps affecting you. Just make a nandroid backup in case this does not help so you restore your whole data easily

Hey thx for your suggestions!
I always flash a "new" rom that way though. But an update of the same rom, I "dirty" flash, which should be fine according to everyone.
No matter what Rom/Kernel I use, I still frequently have to pull the battery out.
It's never from locking up within Android. It just freezes/loops on the Google bootlogo.
I once wiped everything, even the storage space, and it helped for a little while, but did not make it go away for good.
Could it be related to certain apps ? Maybe PGM or Seeder or smth ?
All input welcome

[Q] Boot Fail after Custom ROM

I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus GSM and have been trying to install the Paranoid Android flavor custom ROM, I had 2.22 installed not long ago but managed to screw it up when I updated it without clearing my security settings (I had a 4x4 pattern swipe which I couldn't enter with the update which restored it to 3x3 pattern) so I wiped and restored to stock 4.2. I'm now trying to re-install with any custom ROM but it's not working.
Whenever I install a ROM it seems to install ok but when I get to the boot screen it just hangs on the nexus/PA logo.
I've tried with:
Goo Manager
TWRP 2.2
TWRP 2.3
CWM 6.0.1.5
and with
PA 2.22
PA 2.99.1
PA 2.99.5
PA 2.99.6
PA 2.99.7
and I always get the same error, I've tried wiping all options within TWRP and CWM and going from there but that doesn't seem to work, the strange thing for me though is that if I re-install a stock Google ROM it works perfectly fine.
I'm fairly new so please be gentle.

flash the latest twrp and move the rom and gapps to your sdcard then follow this..
1. factory reset
2. wipe system
3. wipe cache
4. wipe dalvik
5. flash rom
6. flash gapps
7. reboot
if it still freezes at boot animation pull battery reboot to recovery wipe cache/dalvik and reboot

Thanks for the suggestion but that didn't work.
Any other suggestions?

When you say TWRP 2.3 do you mean 2.3.2.1? http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/90
Clockwork 6.0.1.5 is also outdated, newest is 6.0.1.9.
You need to update your recoveries for Android 4.2.X which is what PA 2.99 is based off of.

Yes I did mean 2.3.2.1, I wasn't sure what the whole version number was at the time and I was halfway through resetting up stock on my phone at the time so I didn't bother to check exactly. sorry about that.
Is there a way to completely wipe everything on the phone so that it is bare stock? I was just wondering if I would be able to start from a clean phone if it would make any difference. I'm aware of cache/delvik cache/internal storage/(i think it's called "system partition" or something like that).

Using TWRP, wiping cache, dalvik, and system should wipe everything except the sdcard contents. So doing these wipes should make your phone "bare stock" again as you described
Why don't you try downloading another custom ROM or download the same ROM again because maybe it is corrupted or something

RANT: huh..... seriously? you couldn't have browsed around, searching for this COMMON issue (which usually comes down to user "error"), read the STICKIES, before posting?
first, internal storage = /data/media aka /storage/sdcard0/ aka /sdcard/

CM10 bootloop

I am new to rooting and rom'ing. I was able to root my Hercules using clockwork 6.0 and was in the process of installing cm10 and it froze up, and after i rebooted it got stuck in a boot loop. I did do a back up of my stock rom and have gotten it to factory reset back to astock rooted rom, not sure if it is my backup stock rom. The process that I read to rom it is to install darkside wipe, then cm10, then gapps. I have wiped data, cache and davlik cache, i am trying to get it to install cm10, but it doesn't seem to want to install. what should i do to get it to start over and get cm10 rom on?

I would only use the Darkside wipe scripts on CWM 5.X. Use Odin to reflash the recovery of your choice and then format system, factory reset, and then flash CM10.

Thanks, I didn't know that, guess the instruction i found were a little outdated. I'll try your suggestion. What do mean by formattin it? (I thought the factory reset does that?) Also how long should it take for cm10 to install?

Formatting the system only formats the /system partition and wipe data formats the /data partition.
What do you mean?

I would have made a backup of the stock rom then from the stock rom downloaded goomanager from play store then flash newest twrp recovery, then wiped and installed a appropriate ROM

Of course your stock rom would have then needed to be rooted

You missed /System as well [hence why the stock ROM booted again otherwise if you actually formatted where the ROM was there is no backup ROM.
You should move to Jellybean [I have used ParanoidAndroid as a daily druver for months now and it is newer [Android 4.1.2].,
No matter which ROM you choose, first boot phone
download ROM Manager [Free is fine]
Open it, grant Super User
Tap top-most option to install Clockwork Recovery and it will walk you through getting etiher the non-touch for free or paying $2 for touch recovery [unless you flashed that via Odin then skip], but need to be sure you have newest CWM and not an old one from a rooting guide that been around.
Boot to recovery wi[e cache
tap advanced wipe dalvick
go back one menu
go to mounts and storage tap to wipe system, and data
go back one menu to main
tap install zip from SDCard
Tap internatl or external wherver you saved it and find the CM 10 you downloaded and tap and flash it
do the same but find where you saved the gapps pack
now restart device and enjoy

continual boot loop...tried everything here.

I got cm10 on for about 20 minutes then CWM updated to 6.x. I flashed a nightly and it's been in a bootloop ever since. However, when I was on CM10 those few brief minutes I could not hear or he heard on a call.
No idea what to do now. I'm stuck on 2.3.6 unless there's some other trick I can do to get this thing to boot...

Why not just try a different rom? Lots of options out there.
Also, watch the dates on the how to's you read. A lot can be outdated.

[Q] How to get stock rom via TWRP to not fail on com.android.phone stopped responding

Just dropped a rooted stock rom back on my t989 (from this thread), and I'm geting com.android.phone has stopped message. Came from Cyanogen, Infamous, and Jedi, no problems, but for some reason, the stock rom installed via twrp seems to fail. I need it more or less stock, and I'd really rather not Odin it. Any ideas?

Did you wipe system, cache, dalvik, cache, data, and android secure before flashing? If so, after flashing wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache and reboot

Yep. Per the instructions, performed all of the above wipes, as well as darkside super wipe and wipe before installing the ROM.
Also wiped cache and dalvik after flashing, but haven't tried wiping data after flash...I'll give that a try this evening.
Last night, out of necessity to have SOMETHING running on the device, I threw on AOKP, which runs without issue. I've seen a few other debloated/rooted stock T989 UVMC6 roms floating around, but the comment threads underneath them seem to indicate problems of various types.
If someone knows of a UVMC6 TW ROM that is known good, and can be installed via installed via TWRP, I'd be very interested, even if it still has the bloat. Its the wifes phone and she is a bit of a touchwiz nazi, but hates all the custom boot logos, etc, that come with roms like Infamous. Stock is where she is at.

AOSPA KitKat runs SOO much better than TW. You can change the boot animation to something else very easily.

I'd use the "infamous" wipes before flashing...just for anything touchwiz based. Not aosp. And don't use the darkside wipes...they are outdated.
Search Google or XDA..."t989 infamous wipes"

You can also just Odin stock 4.1.2 and debloat it yourself with titanium backup. Freezing bloat, no sense in uninstalling it.
