Using Clockwork, I was able to get Cyan6 on my phone but whenever I opted to include Froyo GApps in the download ROM part, I got "corrupt zip" error multiple times. Now I am running Cyan6 just fine , minus the Market et al. Any ideas?
You can get the current version of the Gapps add-on here:

Flash the downloaded zip either from ROM Manager or from custom recovery.

ROM Manager / Custom Recovery, unable to recognize zip. Says (bad). However, on going back to ROM Manager, was able to download and flash. Thanks for the lead though
I did notice that reboots .... haphazard I should say are happening on device now. It's fast too, {compared to stock} esp when I try to download certain apps from market....will download fine, but when the installing dialogue appears on the menu bar, it reboots. Thoughts..
No idea, sounds like something is amiss. Is it possible you have an HBOOT version that isn't playing nice with the method you used to flash custom recovery and CM6? Are you running a Froyo radio version that is compatible with CM6?
OH - and I almost forgot - did you wipe data/cache when you installed CM6? If you didn't then you may find that CM6 boots up but acts very strange and would give you a world of problems.
Wiped data and cache and that did it. Thanks.

hey guys Im a new to the whole rooting and flashing custom roms thing. I love my N1 and I figured it was time to start playing with it more then the usual out of the box customizations.
I rooted the phone using the one click root app:
(cant post the link since Im a new user)
and then installed the Rom Manager.
I then installed the ClockworkMod recovery like it says to do.
Then I performed a Backup of the Current Rom using the Rom Manager
then Downloaded CyanogenMod 6.0.0-RC2 along with the Google Apps add on.
once the download completed it says do you want to do a wipe and also asks option to back up current rom. I checked both boxes and the phone boots into recovery mode.
Now this is where Im confused on what to do. At first I wasnt sure it the Rom manager would auto load the new rom, so I let it sit for like 10 min and realized it wasnt doing anything. Then I pressed the power button and volume at this point it gives me 3 options ..
1) reboot
2) Wipe
3) load update.zip
First I did a reboot ... which did nothing but re boot the phone, then I applied the update.zip and it failed and then I went to the Cyanogen Mod wiki page
on there is said to: "Select the option to Wipe data/factory reset. "
so I did that and then tried to install the update.zip ... which failed ... and basically erased my phone like the noob I am
So can someone please help me and tell me what Im doing wrong? also I installed titanium back up this time around to back up my apps.
Sounds like ClockworkMod Recovery did not flash. Try flashing it again in Rom Manager.
Should have been posted in Q&A
Thank you. Ill try that.
Sorry for not posting in Q&A as i didnt know about it ... Im new here so please forgive me.
Might be Clockworkmod ROM Manager...
I had all sort of problems with 2.1.0.5 and can't use any of the backups I created with it (they just hang when I try to restore them).
Everything seems OK with 2.1.0.6 though...

I reflashed Clockworkmod and that fixed it ... it flash the CyanogenMod rom, but once I was on there the radio wouldnt work, to I went back in re flashed the recovery.

You had issues too? I couldn't restore any of my backups the other day as well.
Yeah, I was having random problems with my backups... took me a while to realize it was only my newer backups.
Finally worked out that it was the version of ROM Manager. Older versions work great, as does the latest...

CM requires the 4.06.00.12_7 radio. Go to settings - about and look at the baseband version, that is your radio version. Also keep in mind most ROM's will not setup your APN, you will have to do that manually. I thought CM did, but I have not used it in a while. I am addicted to Enomther's ROM.
First off: one dumb question: does different rom need an updated Google Apps package?
Here's what happened: I was running CM6.1 with iNexus theme, everything was fine. Then Cm7 RC2 came out, I thought since it's a RC it should be stable enough for everyday use. So I installed CM7 RC2 using clock work recovery. Installation went fine. booted up and running. Then i installed iNexus theme for it. iNexus theme developer clearly stated that I should use RA recovey instead of clockworkmod. so i flashed RA recovery. once again it was just fine: booted up and running. Then i noticed I had no Google Apps working, i figured I forgot to flash Gapps package. I went back to recovery and flashed the zip. I thought since both RA and clockwork are custom recoveries, they should do just about the same as each other => RA 2.2.1 was used to flash Gapps package. Here's what I think that keeps my phone from rebooting all by itself over and over: The Gapps package i used was the old one that i downloaded the same time I downloaded CM6.1. I thought that since they're all Google Apps, they're just getting installed but nothing else. Now my phone just boots up to the Welcome page where it asks if you want to learn how to use your nexus one, the phone will then reboots back into the bootanimation after like 3 seconds showing the welcome page.
I did do a backup using clockworkmod, not RA recovery so I can not restore.
Anybody ever ran into this situation before??? HELP!!!! T_T
CM7 have a different gapps package, the one for CM6 will not work.
Theres a small gapps package that will work with both cwm and amon ra. if not you'll have to make sure the gapps your flashing is compatible with the recovery you're using.
umh...since i can't boot the phone into work. so I'm gonna download another Gapps and put it on my sd card then I'll flash it...maybe that'll work? hopefully!
Can you still boot into recovery?
I would do this
put the following files on your sd card
1-temasek extreme wipe file
2-cm7 ROM your choice of RC2 or nightlies
3-CM7 Gapps
Than flash them in that order
i'll be right back with some links
Get gapps here for CM7 http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/15767-cyanogenmod-7-for-nexus-one-v700-rc2-3072011/
Actually there's a new GB Gapps package, let me find that link
Get temasek's extreme wipe here http://www.mediafire.com/?bxfijcp6f6bf1me
Flashing the Extreme wipe will lessen the headache of "little" things that could go wrong.
Also recommend you sticking with Amon Ra, too much problems with CWM lately
uh.... some of the apps don't work??? is it supposed to be like that? Neither Market or Youtube or GTalk work ^^!
No problems here, all apps working for me. You flashed the right gapps?
I deleted my Rom Manager in an attempt to refresh and install the pro version. I did this by using the force uninstall from TB, which actually did not remove it, but then I did remove it normaly via the TB remove app feature (not force uninstal). Now when I try install the rom, it will not load. I do not get any errors when I try to install it. It is just is not there / cant be seen by any app or in a directory. Any suggestions on how to fix this??? Are there any alternative apps???
Just fyi - I am also unable to install the latest CM7 version. It gets to the CM7 boot screen, but hangs on it ofr more than an hour with no progress. Just fro clarification, I have since reloaded the latest CM6 version, to see if Rom Manager would install, but it still wouldn't.
Current phone is a Sprint Hero, running the latest CM6 Version.
when you reloaded CM6, did you restore a backup or did you wipe everything and reload a fresh image?
I had a problem using ROM Mgr when I tried to flash the recovery. Ended up it wouldn't boot into recovery and after that it wouldn't flash the recovery anymore. I was able to flash the alternate ra recovery, wipe factory data/cache & davlik cache, reload clean CM6.1 with latest gapps. Still the ROM Mgr was goofy. I used the fix permissions tool in ROM Mgr and it finally allowed me to flash the CWM recovery (2.5.0.7) successfully and reboot into recovery mode. Maybe the fix permissions or making sure everything (besides your SD card) is wiped would help? Or, try using the ra recovery to load your CM7 image (not sure if that is supported).

You need to do a full wipe of absolutely everything and then update your recovery image. Do a fresh download(try from a mirror) of the latest CM7 version. Make sure that everything is fully wiped and you wipe your system, cache, data and davlik-cache. Do the wipe TWICE.
Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first and then boot up and see if it goes through.
Thanks for the info, Waffle_.. So to just clarify... I need to:
1. wipe everything twice
2. get a fresh download of cm7
3. then install cm7
What do you mean by "Once you are flashing CM7, make sure you only flash the rom first" -- Like make sure it boots up before installing anything else????
Thanks!

Yes.
Meaning, when you flash the rom, don't flash gapps or anything else. Flash the rom only, then reboot and make sure it runs. And then you can go back and flash gapps, etc.
I've tried to look everywhere for info on this issue and the closest I got was in the developers thread where someone was going to flash from Fresh 2.4 to CM 6. Apologies if I'm completely dense here.
There seem to be tons of ins-and-outs that I'm not yet hip to like hboot versions and clockwork vs fastboot and etc.
I am running Fresh 2.4 and I'm getting the "Low on space" trouble that others have noted. I downloaded cyanogen 7.0.3 to my SD and installed ROM Manager. I am able to boot to ClockworkMod and can select the zip to install from. After CM installs I reboot and can't get past the boot screen. (As a side note, I notice the videos all have a white background with black HTC while my boot is gray HTC on black background.)
Is there something I'm missing? The only thought I had was to revert back to completely stock ROM and try to start all over again. Thanks!
1. Are you using any other mods/tweaks - Firerat's, Data2ext or such?
2. Did you wipe everything before flashing CM? Or what steps did you take before flashing CM?

1) no other tweaks. Just put Fresh 2.4 on and started using it.
2) In the ROM Manager I backed up after flashing to ClockworkMod. I've used that backup to get my phone working again. I also checked the boxes to wipe everything as I told it to install cyanogen from the SD card. I've also tried booting to recovery manually and scrolling to wipe/restore to factory before trying to install cyanogen from zip.
Make sure you wipe EVERYTHING

From manual recovery (power + volume down -> home button) I "wipe data/factory reset" and I "wipe cache partition". I also "wipe dalvik cache" and "wipe battery stats" in the advanced menu.
I still get a persistent gray HTC text on black background boot screen.

Redownload cm7 again. Could be a bad dl. Especially over 3g it could go bad so try wifi. Or try aosp's 2.3.4. Its a very stable rom with less cm bloat but still has it's features.
Also don't flash through the rom manager clockwork app. Doing everything from the recovery works better IMO. My guess is that's why it failed. Because you flashed it through the app and not in recovery. In the recovery it's says install zip from sdcard. Select that and find your cm download and load it there. Then your gapps. Bet it'll work after that.
If it doesn't load or doesn't boot up after that then its your clockwork recovery. In the manual recovery at the top it'll say what version your using. The latest is 2.0.5.7 I think. Personally I use a different recovery but for your use the latest will work just fine.

I've downloaded 7.0.3 twice and also 7.0.0 just for fun. All through my home internet onto a macbook pro and transferred via USB to the SD card.
I'll try again and make sure to only use the manual recovery. Also, thanks for the aosp suggestion!
It's a no-go on everything.
Formatted boot, system, data, and cache. Wiped dalvik cache and battery stats. Tried to install a fresh copy of CM7 and also tried AOSP 2.3.4 with same steps.
The only thing that doesn't stall at the boot screen is my backup.
There must be something about versions that is wrong here. Something isn't playing nice.
Excuse me sir. Don't mean to but in here. But I think you missed the part were matt suggested you reflash your recovery. Its good advice. Whatever your current recovery is try reflashing it, repeat the necessary wipes and flash your rom of choice. You can reflash your recovery threw adb or if your s-off threw an hercimg.zip or if you have a nand you can boot into you can do it threw terminal or rom manger.
#Root/Hack-Mod_Always*
Personally I bootload to flash any recovery but also I'm s-off. Its extremely easy and all you have to do is rename the file and move it to the root of the SD card. Using terminal emulator is also very easy if your not s-off. If your still unsure about some of this just keep asking us. More than willing to help. Here ill make it a little easier. Go find the s-off thread and make it happen. Ill throw you my renamed version of green lantern recovery. Trust me it works perfect. Still clockwork. Just different. Then all youll have to do is bootload the recovery then reboot to recovery. And you already know how to do that.
1st go to that s-off link
Dropbox link to greenlantern
http://db.tt/ORAwPdX
The file is named
greenlanternHERCIMG.zip, just delete the greenlatern part and it's good to go.
Heres the s-off thread. All you need is the zip in the bottom of the op. Then flash it through manual recovery as always now
Get the recovery working first then we can help fix the flashing rom if it continues

I cannot upgrade ROM Manager v4.3.2.3 without using google marketplace. Keep in mind I'm trying to upgrade ROM Manager so that I can install the google apps (which include the market). Since I don't have the latest version of clockwork mod (the latest as of today is v4.4.0.6), I get this message when I select "Download ROM":
"You must upgrade your ROM Manager to the latest version!"
Well, I cannot do that, because I don't have the Market.
I've tried so many things, all I want is the market and I'll be done messing with this phone. I've tried installing the latest google apps zip.
And I've tried installing a recovery image from clockworkmod.com's site
When I say "install", what I'm doing is:
put the .zip onto the SD card
boot into recovery
install the .zip
I can boot into clockwork recovery mode perfectly fine though.
I'd be nice if ROM Manager had a selection "update app" or something, then I wouldn't be in this mess. Also, for whatever reason, I installed ROM Manager today, and it did not give me the latest version. I wish I noticed before installing CyanogenMod on it.
Thanks for the help.

Wow, so I have no idea what I did differently, but I just randomly decided to try installing the google apps from clockwork recovery again, and it worked. To my...amazement it worked. I swear I tried that before. Anyway, problem solved
EDIT: I just Captain_Nero's post, that would've also worked. Thanks again!
Glad you have everything sorted out.

I'm having a similar issue. On a clean install when I try to download ROMs through ROM Manager I get the error message "You must upgrade your ROM Manager to the latest version!", and then it force closes. The problem is I need to use ROM Manager to download Google apps in order to access the market to update ROM Manager.
Is there any kind of workaround short of another wipe/download?
