[Q] Gapps Won't Open

Whenever I try to flash CM10.1 RC2 or CM10 they flash correctly, but when I try to flash their corresponding Gapps, it fails to open them during the flashing and aborts, so I can't finish the flashing of CyanogenMod until they work. Any info on why this is happening or a solution to help me finish the process?

Im using cwm and i use darkside superwipe because it wipes more thoroughly and without the darkside superwipe after a factory reset and cache wipe it gets stuck in a boot loop

If I'm not wrong, Darkside superwipe ils not needed with some versions of cwm..

Try a different gapps package? Maybe a bad download.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989

I've tried re-downloading the Gapps packages multiple times, somebody told me to put the Gapps on the root of my SD Card, but I don't really know what that means. Maybe that would help. So could you tell me what that means and how to do that?

your root sd card is where you put the ROM/Kernels anything you was going to flash pretty much its like the C/ drive on computer ROOT means on the outside of all system files

Don't know why people are still using CWM and continuously having issues - I'm going to recommend TWRP and say bye to trying to use extra cache wipes and such. If you can't flash it with TWRP, you probably have a bad download or SD error

+1 upgrade your recovery bro you are living in the past

[Q] Question about flashing rom

Hello, i'm a fresh man on my P936.
I got some trouble on flashing roms except of stock rom (full rom).
In my case, I can:
1. Access to CWM
2. Flash stock rom, stock-modificatied rom or full rom successfully
However, I failed in
1. flashing other roms likes PAC-man rom, ChaOS and etc third party rom. After I flashing those rom, and reboot my phone. The screen did not show anything, dark screen with LCD background light.:crying:
I have follow those inspections and tried many times.
Does any users have those experience before? And how can I solve it?
Thanks a lot:angel:

before you flash a non stock rom you need to wipe data, cache, dalvik, wipe battery stats (optional)
also do a nandroid backup before you wipe incase the new rom doesn't work for whatever reason, i had a problem flashing pacrom though too btw, it might just be the rom. you can try an older version or something too

If you're coming from another ROM It is recommended that you first do backup then FULL wipe then flash ROM

The RC ver is OK, but the latest version (17-6-2013) cannot boost.

Yeah its a bug. Try flashing Wind 2.3 immediately after flashing CM (or PAC) and gapps, with no reboots between.

[SOLVED] Unable to install custom rom after modem upgrade

Hello,
I have a unique issue. I'm having a problem installing any custom rom on my t999 (tmobile). I have been using a custom rom for over a year. Always used TWRP. Started with Paranoid Android and for the last few months I've been using PAC-Man (nightly) roms. I was having gps lock issues, I decided to upgrade the modem to a leaked UVUEMJC, this fixed the gps lock issue. But after the reboot, I was stuck on bootloader screen. The only way I could get the rom to work was to backup the rom, flash the system and data, and after that, the rom would work until reboot. I did this a few times until it stopped working. My efs was corrupted, IMEI missing, To recover it, I went into download mode, and noticed in red Warranty bit =1. I used odin to flashed a rooted cf 4.3 samsung touchwiz rom (root66_TMO_T999UVUEMJC). All imei/efs issues were fixed. I decided to try installing a custom rom again, PAC-Man rom, it installed just fine, all EFS/IMEI info was intact, but at reboot, I got stuck on the CM bootlogo. This happens everytime. IF I recover a backup, it gets stuck on the boot logo. I'm using TWRP v2.6.3.
Anybody have any suggestions on how to fix this issue?
Thanks!

Install TWRP 2.6.3.1. Then take a Nandroid.
Next wipe /Data. Then flash your Custom Rom. Wipe Dalvik + Cache after the Flash. Reboot and report.

[Q] HELP!! /system error

I tried installing the latest version of the Beanstalk Rom using clockworkmod recovery. I then received a message saying script succeeded [/system].

When you say latest version of Beanstalk do you mean the Lollipop build? If so that first boot can take up to 15-20 minutes. And after you flash a Lollipop build of any kind and try to flash to a Kitkat build, you have to make sure you wipe internal storage first otherwise it won't boot at all.

Yes, it was the newest lollipop build. How do I wipe the internal storage in clockworkmod? I factory reset the device and it still didn't work.

I haven't used clockwork mod in forever but i think it's under mounts and storage then format internal sd. Anytime you flash lollipop then go back to anything, whether it's another lollipop rom or a nandroid, you must wipe your internal sd also.

Another problem I ran into with the beanstalk rom lollipop build was the inability to connect to 4G LTE. Is there a way to fix this? I have attached the settings menu where I have selected the 4G option.

TWRP installed; Do I need anything else to flash CM13?

No, but most people would flash gapps 6 too, else you will miss a lot (must be done at the same time as the ROM the first time to set permissions)

Copy CM13 rom and gapp in your sd card.
Backup your old firmware through twrp.
Do a factory Reset from Wipe.
And install CM13 and gapp respectively.
And enjoy ^_^

checked every file hash matches, did exactly as written, done all of above and it doesn't work
TWRP went on in less than 10 second does that sound normal ? and how do you know if its actually on there?

Nope. Installation take atleast 2 or 3 minutes.
and if its installed properly you would have seen different rom from the stock.
Here is what i use for s4 mini(i9192). Also used it on i9190 model as well.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s4-mini/development/rom-aokp-rom-25-apr-2016-t3366314
and these steps mentioned in the website.
A. Initial install
1. Copy ROM and Gapps to your external SD Card or internal memory
2. Boot into recovery
3. Wipe
4. Install ROM and Gapps
5. Reboot
Its simple. Should have worked.
I hope you have installed your model rom.

In TWRP Swipe for factory reset will do the job. you can also do dalvik /art cache in advance wipe. System or other wipe never did it for changing roms.

Ie that enough only to make WIPE FACTORY RESET AND WIPE DALVIK CACHE is not necessary to the FORMAT SYSTEM, DATA AND CACHE ??

sorry i do not understand.
to install a rom just do a factory reset. nothing else is necessary.
If you do not do factory reset, sometimes you will not be able to install a new version of rom(for example, from kitkat to lollipop).
if you do not do factory reset its called dirty flash.
for example
you are using custom rom cm13. and it has a new update released, you go in twrp recovery and install the updated rom without doing factory reset. this way you can keep all the application and data you have.
i hope i am making some sense. it is hard for me to explain.
well do some flashing and you will understand but always make a backup.
