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

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 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.
Try This http://db.tt/CRKXxwJ
Sent From Captivating Shanna, yes I Named My Phone get over it.
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?

Unfortunately that link is dead. I'll see what I can find in the meantime.
I have searched and tried everything that has been posted. I cannot seem to get google play to work. I accidentally uninstalled it using Titanium Backup (was trying to uninstall the update) I did not have a TB of it to restore. what i have done so far.
1. Rooted
2. factory reset(Market was not installed after reset)
3. downloaded google play apk and intstalled
4. open play and it will FC with process com.android.vending has stopped.
i am on stock ROM and FRYO 2.2 T-Mobile version
I have tried to install a stock ROM and see if a fresh install of a new ROM would bring back GP but i cannot get past step one to get CWM to install. So all i need right now is to get Google Play to work so i can get this back to norma.

I did not find a solution to fixing the non-working play store but I did finally get the flash to upgrade to GB and all is working again.
have you try installing gapps??
try flashing gapps from cwm, you can grab gapps for froyo here: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-mdpi-20110501-signed.zip
you must first unistalling any google app apk that you have manually install before, then go to cwm then update your gapps
goodluck.

I tried that but it wouldn't I tall either. I believe it said problem phrasing the app during install. I finally got GB installed and it works now.
Hi, I'm a noob for messing with my phone.
Although I have googled for 7+ hours I have found nothing that helped me, only things that **** me over.
So here is the story:
I decided to install Cyanogenmod 10 on my device. That worked out okay and stuff, but I couldn't install gapps. It said everything was ok but when i started CM10 gapps wasn't there. I tried 10-20 diffrent versions of CM10, all with gapps and diffrent versions of gapps but it didn't work.
Then I installed CWM. I installed CM10 + Gapps with CWM. Then I tried rebooting my device. CWM booted up. CWM boots up everytime I try to boot the device. I googled and found a file, exitrecovery.zip. I installed that via CWM but it didn't work. So, after some more googleing I found a thread on here that said to flash Boot_loader.tar onto my phone via Odin Multi Downloader. Of course, I messed that up. I tried to flash it using "PDA" instead of "BOOT". So that didnt work. I flashed it again using "BOOT" but now it shuts down after the Samsung text on screen.
I am about to attempt to flash the stock OS into my device using the Package option in Odin (Luckily Download mode still works).
Is using Package the correct way to flash the stock OS into my phone?
When I have it working again I want to install CM10 with gapps. Why didn't gapps install?
How can I install gapps correctly?
How do I get out of the CWM boot loop?
Someone please help me because I don't know what to do anymore!
EDIT: Succesfully flashed in stock firmware. But how do I install CM10 and have gapps working?
Thanks in advance,
-Spore
Easyest way to rescue your phone is to flash 3 file ROM with pit and re-partition.
one of many guides is here
Use one of multicsc ROMs (i'd use JVZ)
Then it gets little tricky when getting to CM10
First of all flash semaphore kernel for JVZ (google it)
Then I'd go through CM9 stable to CM10. Flashing guides are easy to find
Edit. Maybe u're using wrong Gapps? for CM10 gaps are from 20120606 (or something like that - newest are for cm10.1)
Got it working!
I figured everything out on my own.
Here's how I did it for anyone with the same problem:
Download the files ill list below.
Put them all on your phone's internal SD
Boot into Recovery Mode
Install CMW6014-TOUCH-CM9recovery.zip
Reboot into Recovery Mode
Clear everything.
Install cm-10-20130130-ivendor-alpha7-ariesve.zip
Install gapps-jb-20121011.zip
Reboot.
And you're done!
Files are listed down below. Since I'm a new user i have to put a dot in the URL.
The only other file you'll need is fs1.d-h.st/download/00026/J34/cm-10-20130130-ivendor-alpha7-ariesve (dot) zip
does this work for cm9?

Hello, thank you for posting this. I noticed that the one file that you said we should download looks like it is for cm10. is that correct? I have cm9.
Also, what do you mean by "clear everything"?
{EDIT} I figured it out. For any other user that has this problem-- you must ensure that you are using the correct version of gapps as others have noted.
In OP's answer to his own question, he used cm10. and the appropriate gapps for jelly bean. That didn't work for me since I was using ICS. Do not use the file he listed for cm10 unless you mean to install that specific version of cm10, which probably won't work for your phone.
Also, google took about 6 hours to recognise my account on the play store. This is apparently a common issue, and I have read multiple threads where people are not seeing their device linked up to their account after upgrading to custom ROMs. The play store app worked on my phone, but not when using an outside device linked to that account (my desktop). I called google support and they said that they had no idea what was wrong, 3 hours later, it just started working.
So be patient if you do not have the option to use the play store from outside sources right away.
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.
