[Q] Can't get gapps to install on NC CM7.2 - Nook Color General

Hello...i've search4ed and searched and no answer pertains to my problem that I can find. I followed this guide to get CM7.2 loaded on my 16gb sandisk sd card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000957 The gapps I'm using the CM7 download link. The CM7.2 rom is the newest one available on the download link
Everything loaded smooth and works great except when I get to the part of installing gapps, I reboot into recovery mode (blue penguin with scrolling writing) and everytime it cannot find gapps installer so it ignores it!! I don't know what else to do here.. I've verified the hash using md5sum and it matches... I have my gapps.zip file located on the ROOT of my sd card /sdcard/gapps.zip. I've also tried putting gapps in /sdcard/boot. I've also tried changing the name to gapps-update.zip, update-gapps.zip, gapps-gd....etc.zip, etc etc etc. No matter what or where I put the file it isn't found.
When I boot the NC i can get to a boot menu from there, i've tried all combinations of booting (internal, sd, normal, etc etc). I've tried installing through boot manager and that doesnt work. It reboots to recovery mode and still doesn't find the file. I've flashed clockwork in boot manager and that didn't help anything.
I'm not sure what I just did, but i rebooted and now I have a "burrito manager" icon. I tried installing through that and no go. Don't know what else to do.
I DO have wifi setup/connected.
*EDIT... not sure if it matters, but I do seem to have an issue. I'm connected to wifi but NTP isn't updating my clock settings. It is setup in settings to auto update the date/time using network settings and it doesn't update. Could this be an issue with getting market to show up if the time is wrong??

Its most likely you are not placing gapps in the root of the boot partition... try this:
if adb works for you:
adb shell mkdir /sdcard/boot
adb shell mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 /sdcard/boot
adb push ***GAPPS INSTALLER*** /sdcard/boot
then when you reboot to sd recovery mode it will see the gapps installer.

Hello...thanks for the reply! But I'm a little confused what you mean? I manually put the gapps.zip file on /sdcard/gapps.zip AND also copied to /sdcard/boot/gapps.zip. The file is there. What is the filename supposed to be??? I've tried gapps-...zip, update-gapps...zip, gapps.zip, etc.
Is there something that adb does that copy on the terminal doesn't do??
See attached screenshot, the file is there. For some reason the installer script in recovery mode isn't finding it. That's why i was asking what filename it's looking for?

Do not put the file in 'sdcard'. It needs to go in the boot partition like dizzy said. Take the card out of the nook and put in your PC. That will show the boot partition. Put the gapp file there. Make sure the name starts with gapps-gb-. Put the card back into the Nook and reboot to recovery like before.

HELP: Instructions to update Kernel

Hi,
I'm trying to update kernel on my At&T Nexus one.
I'm noob and I'm a little lost as what to do.
Instructions I pulled from the net(_hxxp://iq0.org/story/nexus-one-1113mhz-stable):
1. Root your Nexus and install whatever rom you so choose <- Rotted with stock EPE54B. Ok
2. Download SetCPU from either XDA for free, or support the developer as I did and buy it on the market <- Bought from the market. Ok
3. Reboot into fastboot and type "fastboot flash zimage zImage" <- Help - I'm in the Fast boot, cant see where to type this. Help
4. Push the .ko file to /system/lib/modules <- Push - How is it done? Help.
5. Once your phone boots, open SetCPU and tell it to autodetect your CPU (Don't choose Nexus from the list!)
6. Set the max clock to the highest and tell it to set on boot.
7. Enjoy
If that matters, here is the kernel:
_hxxp://droidbasement.com/db-blog/
boot-cm_2633.2-oc-uv-xtra-btn-aud-ram-vfp_fp-042210.zip
If ur using CyanogenMod, simply pop that zip file onto ur SD card, and flash the zip via Amon RAs recovery...
If you use any other mod or stock, read the 101 thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=619153) for how-tos for adb & fastboot

If you're running windows on your computer - do this.
Make sure your phone is in fastboot mode. Have usb debugging mode on too.
Start -> Run -> Type " Cmd " ( without the quotes )
Which will bring up command prompt.
Depending on where you saved your fastboot, the kernel, and .ko file... ( In my case, I chose C:/N1/Tools as folder of choice ) I would have to type these commands on command prompt...
cd \ < press enter> This command is to go into c drive
cd n1 < press enter> This command is to go into n1 folder
cd tools < press enter> This command is to go into tools folder in n1 folder
( But...you would more than likely have to enter something else, since you probably saved it somewhere else )
Then, type this:
fastboot flash zimage zImage-cm_2633.2-oc-uv-xtra-btn-aud-ram-vfp_fp-042210
If you succeed, lets proceed to the next step.
Unzip the tar.gz file and then place the bcm4329.ko to the folder of your choice. Choose reboot phone from fastboot menu, and wait until your phone loads up. Then... type this on the command prompt:
adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules
& if you succeed, restart your phone.
Run set cpu on your phone.
Pick autodetect speed.
You should be able to slide the bar and choose 1.113 ghz speed.
Let me know if this works for you.
My successful saga with [CyanogenMod-5: Kang Central Station 5.0.6].
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I followed advise from craigacgomez "....If ur using CyanogenMod, simply pop that zip file onto ur SD card, and flash the zip via Amon RAs recovery..." and was able to install the ROM and then install this kernel.
On my 1st attempt I did install Cyanogen over the current ROM (no wipe), without wipe, but it did not work. Phone was stuck on the loading screen where, while in the boot, you see the elctrofying blue cross...I then tried to revert to standard ROM (I think there is an option for this)...It did not work...I mean it successfully installed, but upon loading the screen went black and that was it...On my 3rd attempt I did a full wipe and flashed Cyanogen zip file and it was success! Phone took a little longer to boot up, but then no problems using it. I went back to the recovery screen and flashed this kernel that I wanted...
So, I'd say it is sucsess!
The only problem now is that, in the settings I've selected Apps2SD but the apps are downloading to the internal memory. I'm not sure if if my current partitioning is the issue (64mp for hot swap, 512mb and the rest is FAT32).
Any quick advise?
Repartitioning?
lets start with the simple fixes first. Did you ENABLE apps2d before installing the apps ?
You can also manually move your apps from internal memory to SD by going to settings>applications>manage apps, click on the app it should tell you where its currently saved, then just click on the "move" button...
If this don't work then you can partition your SD via recovery.
Good Luck!

Wow! Thanks. This is great tip. How I don't have to go
guess the storage location of the app. I downloaded 1 app and I see the location of it says SD card. So I can be sure that apps2SD is functional.
BTW, Do I need to have my SD partitioned 2>3 then 3>4, or basic partitioning will suffice?

No need to partition if its working. I believe the apps2d option does that automatically.

Need help with SGS on ADB!

Hi, I want to transfer a file called undo.zip from my computer to my phone, but it is bricked.
The file is in the external-sd, but in the recovery I can't flash it because my phone won't acces the external-sd in recovery mode.
The file is a zip to be flashed in the internal sd OR I can also have a framework to be moved directly to system/framework. Both ways should FIX my brick.
Okay, I can enter in recovery and download mode, but I don't want to wipe it or to change the ROM.
What I tried to do is:
Flash the file on the external sd on the recovery mode: Transfered the file to the external sd with an adapter... The recovery option for mount external sd in mounts and storage WON'T let me mount it. I think it's because of the kernel (I've got a DOC's kitchen rom with speedmod, but I installed Super Optimized Kernel and overclocked my phone up to 1.2GHz), so I can't mount the external-sd on the recovery.
So the other only solution is
Transfer the file to the internal sd with ADB
The file is in
C:\android\android-sdk-windows\undo.zip
And I have to move it to the ROOT of the Sdcard, but I don't mind where do I move it if it is on the internal sdcard.
This is what I exactly do:
-Connect the phone on the USB on recovery mode
-Open CMD.exe (I'm on wvista) and type adb.exe in the correct folder. A lot of scripts appear, so I suposse I'm doing it good.
-In adb, type ums_enable. DOES NOT WORK (does not recognize the command). I can't activate USB connection in that way.
-In adb, push my framework-res.apk to system/framework. Superuser error, DOES NOT WORK and my phone is rooted. I could do adb shell and then su, but I can't accept the su request in my phone because... well, it's on the recovery!
LAST AND ONLY SOLUTION: In adb, push the file to my sdcard root
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SHORT STORY:
All I do is "adb push C:\android\android-sdk-windows\undo.zip sdcard", but it gives me error because it's a folder. So, YES, it's a folder because I want to move it to that folder! If I try to move it to a folder in the sdcard, for example by typing "adb push c:\android\android-sdk-windows\undo.zip sdcard/foldernameIwant" it gives me the same error.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART 2, IGNORE THE TEXT ABOVE
So, I managed to be able to move files to my sd on the recovery, but when I want to restore my framework by installing a JS5 stock theme, phone won't de-brick even if it has got a new stock framework that should make it boot... Any help? I'm sure the problem is on the framework-res, but it's now restored by another from a JS5 stock theme (I'm using a self-made JS5) and it continues bricked...

[Q] Cant flash ClockworkMod Recovery (cannot open for read: No such file or directory

When i type the dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096 to flash over the clockworkmod, into my command promt it says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory' and i dont know what im doing wrong.
I mean everything else seemed to workout fine. i downloaded the recovery image it said to save it but it was already saved to my computer after i downloaded it so i dont know if this could be the problem.
Then i used the adb push recovery.img/data command to push the recovery image to my phone, i think this might be where i messed up. After i put in the command a long list of text pops up on the command prompt. It starts out showing 'Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.26' then is followed by a long list of adb commands. Idk know if this is what its supposed to show.
Next i did the adb shell, su, dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p6 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p6.backup bs=4096 command and that worked fine it said 2560+0 records out, 2560+0 records in 10485760 bites transfered in 0.413 secs and i actually found that file on my sdcard. So i think i did that right.
Next i tried to use the command 'dd if=/data/recovery.img of=/block/mmcblk0p6 bs=4096' and like i said earlier it just says 'cannot open for read: No such file or directory'
Lastly i tried the rm /data/recovery.img command and it said rm failed for /data/recovery.img, No such file or directory in the command prompt.
Im sorry i am new at this but i thought i followed the directions perfectly and any help anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated.
First off, before someone else says it, you shouldn't start a new thread for something we already have a topic for. But anyways,
Sounds to me like recovery.img never got pushed to /data. Not sure if its a typo in your post but 'adb push recover.img/data' should be 'adb push recovery.img /data'. The space is important. On your phone use a root file explorer and go to your /data partition and see if recovery.img is there. You may need to either change permissions for /data or just put recovery.img on your sdcard and move it to /data with a root explorer.

Well im sorry im new to this kind of thing, i didnt want to make anyone mad i just wanted some help and i apologize if ive ticked somone off. How would i change the permissions for the data? And could you tell me how to use the root explorer to put the recovery image in the right place? Again i appreciate any help you can offer.
Is recover.img in the same folder as adb? Because the instructions assume your recovery.img is in the same folder you are working from. So if you have to cd to your adb folder to use adb then recovery.img should be in that folder as well. Look at your cmd window, whatever directory/ folder it says you are in that is where you should put recovery.img.
If you saw a bunch of commands it means the .img did not go through your command did not work. You dont have the recovery.img in /data either put the file on your sdcard and use a root explorer to move it to /data or try the adb push again, you most likely made a typo or something.
You would put recovery.img on your sdcard through your computer. Open root explorer and navigate to your sdcard, long press on the recovery.img select move, go to/ data on the root of the phone, not the one on either sdcard it MUST be /data not /mnt/sdcard/data or anything like that once there paste file to /data and finish up in adb shell.
Alright i copied the recovery image to the /data folder and finished up in command prompt and everything worked out like it was supposed to. what was i supposed to do next to put it into cwm recovery mode? I held power, volume down, 3d button but i just went into normal recovery mode. then i went to rom manager to try and put it into cwm recovery that way but it just rebooted my phone. And when i went back into the /data folder i couldnt find the recovery image there anymore and i did a search on my root explorer and couldnt find it anywhere.
Hold vol down + 3D + power when lg logo appears release power but keep vol down +3D held down until recovery pops up. If you still don't boot into cwm try flashing recovery.img again. Do NOT use rom manager at all to install cwm on this phone.
Well ive tried to take the recovery image from the sd card to the /data folder but when i run 'rm /data/recovery.img' on the command prompt then reboot my phone, i turn it off then try and put it in recovery mode but its just regular recovery mode not cwm recovery mode. And everytime i run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' when my phone boots back up the recovery image is no longer in the /data folder or anywhere. But if i dont run the 'rm /data/recovery.img' after moving the recovery image to the /data folder it stays in the folder. Is it supposed to dissapear from the /data folder?
And i tried putting the recovery image in the same folder as abd which is the platform tools folder then flash it over and i got the same message. (cannot open for read: No such file or directory.)
Im sorry for all the questions and I am thankful for your help. I feel like i cant be the only person having this problem, well i hope im not that would make me feel really stupid. Thanks.

rm is the command to remove. So yes, recovery.img is supposed to disappear after that command. Put it back on /data and run the whole process from the CWM thread again making sure you do every step. Sounds like you may have accidentally skipped a step.

Ugh...keep selecting quote instead of edit on Tapatalk...Triple post...
Alright ill try that again, so i should put the file back on the /data folder and then still do the step where you try to flash over cwm from the cwm thread, even though its already there? Thanks

[Q] Accessing /data if CM9 won't boot

How can I access the /data/ partition?
I was using the touchpad, installed some apps like teamviewer/unified remote/xbmc from the market, and all was going well and then for no reason the tablet froze, CM9 just stopped responding. So I rebooted it (holding the home button and power button was the only way to get it to do anything) but it's stuck at the Cyanogenmod boot animation. It's been on that animation for 5-10 minutes, so I rebooted again, went into clockworkmod and reflashed the latest nightly and gapps. I then rebooted, android booted up, said it was upgrading/optimizing 77 something apps, then it said it was starting the apps, and then it froze at that point, wouldn't proceed. I then reboot and am stuck at the boot animation again. My best guess is that one of the apps I installed is hosing it. I plugged the usb cable in and normally during the boot animation of my phone I can adb logcat but I can't seem to adb detect this device during boot animation. Windows see's it as a MTP device but no filesystem comes up in my computer. So adb logcat and adb shell so I can get into /data/app to wipe out the last few apps I installed won't work, but on my phone I can also adb shell in from CWM. So I rebooted into CWM but when I connect the cable to the laptop it still doesn't see it as an Android ADB device. No adb shell. Not like my phone at all.
So back to my original question, short of wiping /data from CWM, is there anyway for me to get at /data/app to delete some files? I'm curious what's causing this.
You can do an and pull from clockwork mod or have you tried mounting it on the computer from the clockwork mod options?
I've mounted before in clockwork but only sdcard, so that i can put a zip on it to flash. Can you also usb mount the /data partition?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using XDA
If you can reboot into WebOS, I know a way you can mount it and grab what you need.
Boot into WebOS, and connect your tablet to your PC. Then start up Novaterm (C:\Program Files\Palm, Inc\terminal\novaterm.bat). Connect to your tablet.
From there, you'll be at a root prompt. This is good. Type the following commands:
- mount /dev/mapper/store-media /media/card
- mount /dev/mapper/store-cm--data /media/hdd
- cd /media/hdd
- mkdir /media/card/cmdata (this will make a backup folder for you)
From there, you can use basic linux commands to copy files from your data partition to your media card. The ones you should need (forgive me listing the extra commands, even if you know them):
- ls (LS) will give you a directory listing
- cp -r <Folder> /media/card/cmdata (this will backup whatever folder you wanna backup to the cmdata on your card)
- rm -r <folder> (this will remove whatever folder you wanna remove)
- rm <filename> (this will remove whatever file you wanna remove)
I just tested this method, and it allows you to back up whatever you want, as long as you can get into your /data partition. You can do whatever you need to do. Just be careful you don't remove something you don't have to.
Hope this helps you, mate. If so, hit Thanks, if not, drop me a PM and we'll discuss other options.

Yes, you can, but you can only read it from a Linux PC. A Windows system will not be able to access the partition, because it is an ext3 filesystem.
You can also use the "USB mode" used to install CM, but it will run into the same problem. Without Linux, you will not be able to access files.
I would clear the cache, that usually seems to solve these kind of issues. (Of course it could also mess it up further...)

[Q] VeryGreen Nook HD+ sdcard install problem

I'm trying to get the ZIP file copied to the sdcard. I have followed Verygreens instructions and have the imaged burned and able to boot into CWM.
I have ADB up and working. When I copy the ZIP file to the SDCARD with ADB with this command: "adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard" the ZIP does not show up in CWM when you go to install zip from /sdcard.
When I do a directory list in ADB the ZIP shows up in internal memory.
In the Nook android developer documentation the external sdcard is referenced as /ext_sdcard and the internal card as /sdcard.
When I try to push the file to /ext_sdcard I get a permission denied error.
Are verygreens instruction for Lunix not PC. I'm using Windows 7. I've got all the parts working I just can't get the ZIP file to where it needs to be.
Can you install the ZIP from the internal memory? instead of the sdcard?
Any help appreciated.

Are you using ADB WITH CWM? It soudns like you have adb going with the nook booted to stock. You boot to CWM, then go to mounts and storage, mount the /sdcard, THEN adb with CWM running and copy the zip over.

If I boot the NOOOK HD+ into CWM and mount the sdcard, then ADB will not connect to the NOOK, I do the adb devices command and no devices are found.
If I do the push command anyway, I get a "no device found error". If I tale the sdcard out and boot to stock CWM works again.
What am I doing wrong?

I'm having the exact same problem, adb finds device when booted into stock, but when I boot with cwm adb can't find it.

Scroll down to where verygreen's post says "If you don't have operational adb...." and follow instructions from there.

Thanks but that's why I got adb working, because I can't see the correct partition in windows to copy it there. Is there a reason adb is working in stock and not on the cwm image? Is there a way to fix it?

No clue as far as adb. Reading through the thread, some people used a linux vm or a linux cd to see the correct partition.

Ok, got it. What mine did when booted to cwm was find the nook hd+ and wanted to install drivers for it. But the adb devices driver would'nt work. What i did was right click on the hd plus device and selected update driver and installed the same driver as for the adb interface. When I did that the nook hd+ disappeared out of device manager and the adb interface device showed up and it worked. Thx for the help trying to get it. Hope this helpes someone else.
Device ID problem solved ADB working in CWM
I figured it out. When using Windows 7 64bit the device ID for the nook HD+ running CWM is incorrect in the android_winusb.inf.
After you plug your Nook HD+ into your PC, look in device manager for "NOOK HD+" under other with a question mark next to it.
Right click on properties and then go to the details tab. Look for the device ID. This is the ID that should be in the android_winusb.inf file.
My inf file had this line for the NOOK HD+
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_2080&PID_0005&MI_01
The device ID on my system for the Nook HD+ was VID_18D1&PID_D001 so I changed the entry in the INF file to:
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D001
There may be more than one copy of this line in the INF file. Be sure to change them all.
Save the file then unplug the NOOK usb and plug it back in. You should see the Android composite ADB interface start working in device manager.
Now you can use ADB to push the ZIP file to the sdcard.
Remember you need to mount the sdcard in CWM before doing this.

^^ All I can say is THIS solved my problem. Working on this for 2 days and finally stumbled upon this post.
I was never able to copy the CM file because everytime I rebooted the Nook HD+ to CWM mode ADB would
stop being able to recognize it because it reloaded in Device Manager as "Barnes & Noble Nook HD+" instead
of the generic device ADB used when booted into Nook mode.
For anyone unable to get ADB working because it will not recognize the Nook HD+ once in the CWM, Try this. :good:
I too am having this same problem. I can write the image file to the sd card but after the nook re-partitions the card, my computer only sees the E:boot. When I look at the sd card with a partition manager, I can see the 4 partitions that were created but only boot has a letter designation.
How can I copy the cwm and gapp files to the cm10sdcard partition or how can I make adb function? Even with adb, will i see the added partitions? Please help. I am using a Nook HD+ and following Verygreens instructions for cm10. Also, are there other zips that are useful to copy to my card?

Ok try!
You are done with this:
For first time install only (you will need 4G or bigger sdcard, smaller ones are not supported and not tested):
gunzip cwm image and write it to your sdcard (entire sdcard not just one partition of it), use either dd on Linux/MacOS or Win32 Image Writer for those impaired by Windows. Make sure to use sdcard rated for fast small IO for best results.

Now next step:
Insert the card into the Nook and reboot the nook, CWM should start.
(This will also automatically repartition the card into a correct layout no matter the size (but no smaller than 4G).
In the CWM:
Go to "mounts and storage", choose "mount /sdcard".

Now connect your device with USB cable to PC and continue with guide:
Press power button to go back to the main menu.
Now do on PC: adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard

Here goes step when you can use "adb push" command to load any wanted zip or other files to Nook HD+. Actually you can push or send later your apk or other files to Nook HD+ too. This part is only for this, when you need install something before first run (some kernel or mandatory system changing files).
Now next part on CWM:
Next, choose "install zip from sdcard", and then "Choose zip from sdcard" and choose cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip (which one you just copied to device over ADB

Done? Ok next step:
When done installing, press the power button to go one level up in the menu and then choose reboot.
This will reboot you into CM10.

Remember! Sometimes it stuck on first boot. Just push power button, device shuts down, remove SD card. Boot your Nook HD+ to original soft, insert SD and shut down Nook HD+. Now power it again and it start with CM 10.
With ADB problems you got solution before on this thread.
I try to inform VeryGreen about making some changes on guide.

After 3 hours of frustration, you saved me! lol
I do not have ADB running. Is there another way to copy cm10 file (and others) to the cm10sdcard partition? I am trying to go thru Nook Development instructions to get ADB running but it is a pain. Is Android SDK required? Java? Nook emulator?

You can run ubuntu from a live-cd using VirtualBox.
I don't have ubuntu live-cd or virtualbox. I am still having problems getting ADB to work. I am reinstalling the Android SDK. I just noticed that when it tried to install the Android SDK Platform-tools, the Android SDK Manager came up with Stopping ADB Server failed (code 1). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am using windows Vista.
Great. Got ADB push to work. You do need SDK Manager, JAVA, I had to copy the cm10 file and gapp file to the system32 file for ADB push to find them. What are other useful zips to push besides gapp and cm10? :victory:

Great, glad you got it to work! Sorry for not replying earlier, but in general, both ubuntu and virtualbox are free downloads. I just put those two and get all the other apps from the play store.
Well,
I couldn't get the driver to show up in Device Manager for Win7 64bit when in recovery mode or CWM and then I tried updating driver software in the unknown device.
1. Right click Unknown Device and select Update Driver Software...
2. Browse my computer for driver software...
3. Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer...
4. *Choose the top, can't remember the name but it had "List all" or something like that.
5. Have Disk...
6. Go to the folder that has the driver and choose "android_winusb"
7. Choose "Android Composite ADB Interface"
And that's it, ever since it will have the correct driver after battling to get one after it said unknown device in Device Manager Win7.

1. I'm trying to get the ZIP file copied to the sdcard. I have followed Verygreens instructions and have the imaged burned and able to boot into CWM.
2. I have ADB up and working. When I copy the ZIP file to the SDCARD with ADB with this command: "adb push cm-10-XXXXXXXX-UNOFFICIAL-ovation.zip /sdcard" the ZIP does not show up in CWM when you go to install zip from /sdcard.
3. When I do a directory list in ADB the ZIP shows up in internal memory.
4. In the Nook android developer documentation the external sdcard is referenced as /ext_sdcard and the internal card as /sdcard.
5. When I try to push the file to /ext_sdcard I get a permission denied error.
6. Are verygreens instruction for Lunix not PC. I'm using Windows 7. I've got all the parts working I just can't get the ZIP file to where it needs to be.
7. Can you install the ZIP from the internal memory? instead of the sdcard?
8. Any help appreciated.

1. Able to boot into CWM? Good
2. Do yourself a favor and don't rename it with that whole file name, abbreviate it if you can to cm10 or cm20130120. Verify that it transferred, it should indicate the transfer rate and also take a minute or two transferring the whole 100+ MB file, so be patient.
3. That's a good sign
4. I also read that but don't bother with it, here is /sdcard a real SD Card.
5. I didn't do that and got away with it.
6. Mine is Win7 64bit and his instructions on how to burn it were pretty good. Remember this only works on a first time basis, it will not work a second try so you have to reburn the image again and mount sd card and then push it.
7. Nope, so far.
8. Here is mine.
Ok, i got cm10 running, and first loaded gapps 20121130 and always got "unfortunately keyboard has stopped running" error. I saw on another thread that I may have the wrong gapps, so I downloaded gapps 20111011, pushed and mounted it. Still getting the keyboard error. Do I have the right gapps? Do need to uninstall the first gapps before mounting from sdcard the second gapps? Please help. Without keyboard, I can't do much.:frustrated:
PS: Got it going, worked to wipe to factory, reinstall cm10 and gapp 20121011 only. Thanks to leapinlar and all others for you wisdom and help.
