Just installed CM9, now I need Google apps?

I just installed CM9 last night on my SPH-D710 and have CWM 6x. I know the reason I don't have Google Apps, I need to know how I can get them installed.
All the sources I've found lead me to goo.im to download an md5 file and then to have ROM Manager flash it. I've tried a few times to redownload and flash but in the recovery mode I get
E:failed to seek in /cache/update.zip (invalid argument)
E:signature verification failed
E:Can't open /cache/update.zip (bad)
Installation aborted
(and then my guy dies )
Is there another download/method to get the google apps back on my phone?

First off DO NOT use ROM manager on the E4gt it has been known to cause major issues from what I have read.
Second for Gapps all you need is the file here http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-ics-20120429-signed.zip
Install from zip in CWM and you are good to go

Thank you for your response.
Are you saying I shouldn't have used ROM Manager to flash CM9?? If I recall, which I'm no expert and it took quite a few hours, I used ROM Manager to boot into recovery in order to add CM9. Is there a different way that's just as easy?
If you mean not to use it for flashing AFTERWARDS, what should I do in order to get the gapps link you posted to work? I downloaded that twice and tried ROM Manager and it didn't work. Should I use a different app?

From what I have read here ROM manager can cause bricked devices so it is safest not to use it at all ..easiest way is to boot into CWM recovery and flash from there .. if you need help youtube QBKING77 he has great instructional videos to walk you through it all with ease

lol.. why didnt you just read the op of the rom you were flashing? it gives clear instructions and links on flashing gapps

i second this.
why are people so afraid of reading ops nowadays. they give you everything you need to know to flash a rom without bricking your device.
but anyway. DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!!!! never ever.

Yep. Follow the instructions in the OP, download Gapps and flash in recovery...

[Q] Bricked?

Hi
After rooting, I managed to wipe dalvik cache and internal. I'm trying to install stock rom from TWRP, but it always says that its unable to open .zip file. When connecting to USB the MTP USB driver fails (I've tried all the attempts with in getting in into download mode, but with no luck). I've got TWRP 2.3.2.3. Any ideas or ROM's which I can boot with here is my device bricked?

Try to install another rom or check the drivers at your computer(By uninstalling them at device manager), connect it to another pc and see if that works. Aslong as your phone can boot into download there shouldn't be anything to be worried about. You could also try to download philz recovery. Either by flashing it, if you manage to get download mode working, or trying that zip to be installed in TWRP.

I don't like TWRP at all as it has brought me bad expiriences. I'd rather choose Philz recovery, which is just the stock way of installing them zips .
Hope you can get further by these instructions, Good luck. If you got any questions; instead of finding them out yourself, just ask :laugh:

Thanks for the reply! philz did get installed with TWRP and worked after next reboot. But I'm still getting the same message when I try "Install zip" and select the below roms. You know any rom which work for sure? It says Cant open <ROM-Filepath> (bad) on both. The zipfiles are openable through windows

Hmm, very strange. Are you installing from a sdcard? Maybe it is corrupted so it doesn't install. You could try placing the zip file into your internal storage and then try to install it from here.

I think you can only flash stock through odin on your computer.

It was actually my usb2microSD which was faulty. It was messing up all the files it was writing and the funny thing was that windows7 reported all file copies as success. Anyhow, its fixed once I got the .,zip files copied correctly. That was the only way too (through sd load) ODIN coul'd make a connection. Thx for all the help!

[Q] Installation aborted (BAD)

Can anyone help.....
I have tried to flash a few custom roms but everytime I go to install it says installation aborted (BAD). I have downloaded the same rom a couple of times in case it was a bad download, but still get the same result. I flashed the leaked 4.3 via odin before trying to install custom roms, could this be the problem?. I am using philz recovery.
Anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?.
Thanks in advance

go with a clean wipe,system included and flash the rom. make sure u verify the md5 of the rom downloaded and use latest philz version and make a backup of rom just to be safe before flashing anything, the latest philz support 4.3 flashing

Xperia S LT26I- nAOSProm_b26 Cannot Flash Gapps in TWRP

Gapps not Installing
Hi,
I installed custom rom nAOSProm_b26 with TWRP 2.8.5 on my Xperia S LT26i and now am having a problem.
The problem is that its not showing Play Store. I searched and found maybe its due to Gapps. I tried many packages of Gapps.zip but not successful. Also its saying the kernel does not have support SELINUX in start.
Please Help me in this regard will be very thankful as am new to this field and don't know much about this
Thanking in Advance...!!!

You need to flash gapps after flashing a ROM. Since You are on nAOSP b26, Your android version is 5.1 . Search for gapps package which works with 5.1 and the flash them via recovery. Also as for Your error, I would recommend a clean flash by following the instructions by the developer.

I download Gapps for 5.1 but issue is I can install nAOSProm_b26 using TWRP 2.8.5 but cannot install it using TWRP 2.8.7.
On other hand I can install Gapps usinng TWRP 2.8.7 but cannot install it using TWRP 2.8.5
So many complex things are going on with me
One more thing I want to know that what do you mean by flash it via recovery. Is it boot.img in the ROM.zip file?
I followed the instructions but each time I failed Do not know why
Can you please help me further in this regard?

You have to say clearly step by step what you have did to flash the ROM or gapps.then only some1 can help you

same problem here!
i can flash gapps but the problem is after the boot and android upgrade all google apps pop up for unfortunately stopped and setup wizard also..

See, b25 onwards different mode has been followed in the nAOSP ROM. For that, You need to flash the recovery from the ROM.zip. Then flash the boot.img from the b26 zip via bootloader, and then flash the ROM. Are You following this sequence?
Also it doesn't matter what TWRP version You are using to flash gapps. You can always change the TWRP version. So flash the the TWRP with which ever TWRP version it gets flashed with, then change the TWRP if You want to, and then flash the gapps.
Flash it via recovery means flash it via TWRP. TWRP, CWM, Philz, these all are recoveries used to flash flashable zips via it.
The one You took example of, boot.img, is generally the kernel, which needs to be flashed via bootloader mode.
Also, I would recommend these gapps, they always worked for Me.

Cannot flash using this ROM. Its giving error on installing

These Steps am Following:
1) Connected Phone on flashboot mode (By Pressing VolUp+Power Key and connecting the cable and it shows blue LED)
2) Flashed with recovery.img file in nAOSProm_b26 using flashtool (Fastboot mode)
3) Flashed with boot.img file in nAOSProm_b26 using flashtool (Fastboot mode)
4) flashed with TWRP 2.8.5 using flashtool (Fastboot mode)
5) disconnected cable and open bootloader then flashed using nAOSProm.zip file
6) wipe cache and dalvik (also treid by wiping cache/dalvik/data and other option I forgot (total 4))
7) flashed using pa_Gapps (as only this Gapps are flashed on my phone, others are giving errors)
same I followed for b25b but its giving error on 5th step mentioned above.
So what wrong am doing
