Play Store "No connection error" - G-Mail related? - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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?

[Q] Why can't I install google apps?

I am not able to install google apps on my hp touchpad. after a month or so after messing with classicnerd and cyanogenmod and it getting stuck in a boot loop, i picked it up again and tried wiped everything, now CM9 the latest nightly works great but whenever I try to install the google apps pack, it freezes. I have tried from recovery and RomManager with rebooting. both freeze with the exclamation point in a triangle. I could do it before and it is the latest version of both.
Is there something that I am doing wrong?

Never have had to use it but there's some type of gApps fixer you flash that may help solve it. Can't remember what its called or where its at but shouldn't be hard to find.

Here's the gapp fixer utility link : http://www.tabletsupportforum.com/forum/showthread.php/1645-Gapps-amp-Gapps-Fixer-for-CM9-(ICS)
I have used it and it worked fine for me. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice and help and I wish I could say it helped. Not that it is wrong, but almost as soon as I posted this I tried to download and install the google apps from RomManager. I don't know why I thought of it since on my other devices I use Amon-RA for recovery and I dislike clockworkmod and don't ever use RomManager. Lo and behold, it worked! I was very surprised but after updating things still work fine today.
Glad to see it worked for you.
Another option I would have recommended would be to install the GooManager App (from www.goo-inside.me) and tried that. It'll grab the latest GApps for you, too. And it allows for incremental ROM downloads, so you don't have to always get the 100+ MB ROM file every day (if your ROM author supports that).

Unfortunately the setup wizard has stopped

i installed the NAA kernal and CM9, and all going great, i did however realise that i needed to install gaaps, so i placed on card, rebooted into recovery and installed, all going good, and then after bootup where you tap the android man to continue. this is what i get 'UNFORTUNATELY THE SETUP WIZARD HAS STOPPED'..
I cannot bypass this. ive tried installing two different gapps on it, and both times this..
any help would be appreciated

Hello guys!
I'm new to the forum, and a total noob when it comes to android. I have a VERY similar problemToday I installed the latest version of CM. Worked fine. I installed gapps. Now when I turn on the device, it just shoes the message and I can't do anything. I wanted to try reflashing a newer version of gapps, but I can't put it on my sd card, because my computer won't detect it anymore...I can't use my phone at all, I am starting to panic :/

[Q] Problems with Gapps and boot problem with CWM.

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.

[Q] Evervolv 4.3.1 20131110 only 3 apps in play store

hxxp://rootzwiki.com/topic/31548-rom-guide-how-to-install-android-on-the-hp-touchpad-the-easy-way/
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 have checked gmail and it works fine.
I tried changing the dpi, but it resets right back when I reboot.
Any help?

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?
