Cannot upgrade ROM Manager (clockworkmod) without google market

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?

Download google apps from your browser (someone posted a helpful link above) then flash in recovery

Unfortunately that link is dead. I'll see what I can find in the meantime.

[Q][ROM] installed cyanogen mod 10 and stuck in a reboot loop

Hi,
I tried to flash CM10 for JB on my ICS device. (Galaxy S I) .
my CWM is a 5 version.
Now I just read that I had to upgrade to the 6 version.
When I tried to enter recovery again I saw that the 6th version has been installed.
Now - after I flashed the CM10 I dont have the google play app and obviously none of my apps.
I back up my apps using titanium backup - so how can I reinstall it now that I dont have it istalled on my phone, dont have a file manager app to get to the apk and reinstall it, doesnt have google play to re download it.
what can i do?
and, is it ok that I dont have google play? its odd no?

Why u don't have installed the Gapps?
btw, if u want to install gapps, download it from here, copy into the memory of sgs, reboot in recovery mod, install from sdcard, and reboot.

just wipe and flash again will solve your problem

[Q] Install google playstore manually in remICS-jb-4.2 rom

i have recently installed remICS-jb - 4.2.1 rom on my captivate .. and m loving this rom. but the thing is, it doesnt come with google play store installed.. so yes, i tried to flash Gapps but it gets stuck into bootloop . so i had to clean install the rom again (factory reset, wipe, install) ...
i installed many playstore.apk (every version) but they just start and then force closes (no dialouge is shown... it just closes itself after like 2 seconds) . i even copied the playstore.apk in /system/apps but that didn't help. i even rebooted many times after installing the apk.
So, finally i figured the only way left is to flash it via CWM . is there any google android market.zip file to flash via CWM ? if not, please give alternate ways.

and installed Evervolv AOSP Android 4.3.1 JB (20131110).
I am having issues with Google Play store, where it will only show like 2 applications/games.

I am having the same issue. I am unable to update gapps or the nightlys via the touchpad from CWM. When I do there and select install from zip file, there are very few files on the sdcard and no zips at all. When I go into the evervolv updater in settings I can see the path where the files are downloaded, but cannot access them for some reason.
I should mention that when I went to the nightly 2014.04.10, it bricked my TP. The touch screen failed to work and when I did a reboot it bricked. I unbricked it via tpdebrick-v004. Since the recovery my gapps have not worked and there are few files on my sdcard, and none that will flash via CWM.
I'm not sure where to go from here aside from doing a full reinstall.
Ideas?

Play Store "No connection error" - G-Mail related?

Hey guys,
I've got the dreaded "No Connection" error on my Nook HD+. I've tried many things to fix it. I even deleted and reinstalled the store. I tried deleting and reinstalling G-Mail. No luck. One thing I've noticed is that I can't even get G-mail to open. It opens for a couple of seconds and then closes and says "GMail has unfortunately closed".
I'm running CWM 10.2-20131102
Any ideas?

Are you sure you used the right GApps package?
Btw you should really update to the stable version of CM10.2, it works much better for me at least

I tried downloading gapps from another thread I saw and the zip file won't open, (gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip).
You know I tried updating to 10.2.1 via the update and it doesn't work. It downloaded it but when I try to update, Recovery says that it failed to open /sdcard/0/cmupdater/cm-10.2.1-ovation.zip (No such file or directory). The only option it gives me is to install untrusted zip. That sounds scary to me.

Did you try to download the GApps again? Sometimes downloaded files can be corrupted.
About the Update:
Try to flash it manually then, but do a factory reset first..
You think you already have the right recovery as you are able to boot the CM10.2 Snapshot, so here is the links you need, so that you don't have to search for them again:
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=ovation

Thanks for the help. I've downloaded the gapps and CM zips but I don't know what to do with them. I see them in Root Explorer but I don't know which files to run to use them.
EDIT: I think I've got it figured out. I moved the CM and Gapps zips to my SD card and then flashed them from Recovery. I'll see if that works. Unfortunately I don't have Wi-Fi here at work to check. Looks like I at least have the CM working. I have a different boot screen now, (bummer I liked the old one ). I verified that I'm running 10.2.1-ovation but every time I boot up it tells me that Google Play has stopped working.

I'd say you check again if you downloaded the right GApps version this time, but I guess you did that already...Do the other GApps work? Like Gmail, Maps, etc...
If they do, try to clear its cache. Else you could also get an apk for the play store and install it manually, maybe that will work
