[Q]Just flashed CyanogenMod nightly... no GApps?

Updated my DHD running CM6.1.3 to the latest 7.0 nightly build (build 30 iirc) by wiping data in recovery (factory reset) and wiping cache partition, installing the ROM via recovery, rebooting, installing latest signed Google Apps via recovery, and rebooting. I still don't have any Google Apps installed and no way to get them. How do I get my market back? Do I have to flash CWM3? :S

Hey humpser.
What you need to do is flash the latest ClockWorkMod recovery, manually reboot into it recovery mode and then reflash the Gapps. For CM7 to work on the Desire, this is necessary. It's suggested to use the light version that would have been downloaded to your SD from ROM manager, filename "gapps-gb-20110115-signed.zip" as this installs the main Gapps and the rest are downloaded from the Market when you sign into your account.

Here's the recovery download link - http://postkreative.eu/ace-cwm-3.0.0.5.img
To do this, you need the Android SDK installed and running on your PC.
- fastboot flash recovery /path/to/<recovery>.img
- fastboot reboot
Here's Cyan's guide - http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Fastboot

Thanks for the detailed reply, I've used fastboot before but will need to give it another go to flash ClockworkMod Recovery latest version. Will update as to how it goes. Thanks again.

google made Cyanogen remove the copywrited parts of android, thats why you have to flash the GApps seperately

Yup, I'm aware, was just having trouble as my old CWM Recovery 2.5 wouldn't flash 'em.
Got fastboot working again after a bit of fiddling and updated to CWM3, flashed gapps and it works great! Thanks!

Wildfire S recovery error

NEED some help. I had TWRP loaded on my Htc Wildfire S. I tried to Flash CM 7.2 but it said FAILED. So I installed CWM through ROM manager. The problem is now I cant get into recovery. When I try to boot in recovery the phone starts up normally. I tried it a lot of times. Still no success. PLEASE help me.!!!

Install TWRP 2.2.0.0(not 2.3).....it works fine for CM7.2
The new recovery doesn't recognize old updater scripts....which is why dont used the new version
You can find it here

I want to use CWM. I found a lot of guides describing how to install custom rom through CWM. How can I remove the TWRP and have only CWM (I think I have both in my system)

If you flash a recovery.... It overwrites the previous one.... Just flash CWM via rom manager

No, flash ROM from custom recovery first, then the boot.img from fastboot. Use a custom, not stock, recovery (CWM, 4ext, or TWRP).

I have no idea what you're trying to say. What recoveries have you tried to flash? How have you tried to flash them? How are you trying to flash the ROM? What is "cyan," ClockworkMod (CWM) or CyanogenMod (CM)? What is a "stock recovery .boot img"? You can't flash anything from the stock recovery. You can't flash the stock ROM's boot.img with a custom ROM. Recoveries do not have boot.imgs that you need to worry about. I am saying that you need to have a custom recovery, like CWM, 4ext, or TWRP, installed. You do that through "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img." You then need to download a ROM zip, boot into recovery with power and volume-down, factory reset, and install the ROM. You then need to extract the boot.img from the ROM zip you just flashed and flash it from the computer with "fastboot flash boot boot.img."

[Q] Both TWRP and CMW installed

Hi Guys
2 question i can't seem to find the answer to.
I have 2 recovery version on my HTC one X. Both TWRP and CWM.
How do i uninstall the TWRP recovery version?
Also i tried updating CWM through the ROM Manager and after update the version number ROM Manager says i have dosent match the version number when i boot to Recovery? (maybe a Third Recovery partition)?
Any Ideas how to fix this so i ony have CWM and so i can update via ROM Manager.
Thansk in advance.

You can't have 2 recoveries ! You can't use Rom manager on a s-on device. You flash the desired recovery via fastboot commands

How come rom manager says i have both installed? Als when updating via rom manager the version numbers dont match?

Ditch Rom manager ! It does not work, that's why they don't match. Rom manager can not flash a recovery for you.

[Q] Recovery not working.

Redmi 1s.. v45 rooted.
I have TWRP 2.8.0 recovery. I can enter in the recovery. But...
1) can't install any zip(tried to install zip of stock recovery and cwm. It shows successful but again boots in twrp recovery)
2) can't backup(it shows backup is successful but no folder or file is created as a backup)
3)tried fixing root permission... But it takes forever to complete the process)
If this can be fixed plz help...... Other thing i did is...
I tried to flash rom in fastboot...
Using Miflash.... An error is displayed.... Can't flash the rom too.
Thanks

There's some problem with the recovery i guess. Try using fastboot recovery to flash the latest version and an rom

I installed CWM recovery via fastboot. Now everything is fine.:angel:
But in TWRP I used to see "simulating actions" while performing backup or installing zips.
Didn't get that.

Cwm touch recovery
Everytime im tryig to backup rom , via cwm , it says cant mount backup path.. I installed stock recovery updating via updater then formatted my internal sd , flashed cwm again,, tried back up again didnt work.. Any help?

I had problems with Custom Roms in CWM but for me TWRP worked well. But you can try Philz recovery.

Hope this will solve your problem.

Solution
I had exactly the same problem.
It turned out that the problem is in the TWRP settings. Uncheck the Simulate bla...bla...bla...
