[Q] Problem installing gapps 20110828

I can't install latest release of gapps.
Clockworkmod (4.0.0.9) says there are problems in the zip file and the installation aborts.
I've already checked md5sum and signatures inside the zip file, they're fine.
Any suggestions ?
thanks

I tried... no luck.
I've installed 20110613 (which was already installed) without any problem.
Same error, I've found this (I can't paste url...) pastebin.com/b4vyNiNm (someone seems to have the same problem)

looks like broken package, same here. maybe someone with other version of cwm can give it a try?

Tried with newest cwm 5,worked like a charm

[Q] Rooted, no SU Binaries

Hi. I have Android 2.3.6 on my Galaxy Ace. I wanted to root it with upd_1.zip. I used the stock recovery. It said installation complete, so I rebooted. The Superuser icon has appeared in my app drawer so I was very happy that it was successful, but my SuperUser says that I haven't got SU binaries, so I haven't got any root access. I've searched for similar problems, but I didn't find any. What do I do now?

Sorry buddy, never heard of such an issue. I guess you try to Unroot and Root again. U may try xda for some better Root procedure or search my blog www.andro-sapien.blogspot.in.
Do let me know if it is sorted out by Re-Rooting.

pls help
So, I unrooted and rooted and there's the same issue. Original Superuser says - Checking available version failed, so I tried to delete the app data - that didn't work. I updated the Superuser and it says that I doesn't have SU binaries.

Try this:

or
https://hotfile.com/dl/180452656/3c2538d/gingerbred-2.3.6-root.zip.html

I actually have a similar sounding problem but arrived at it differently.
My phone had been rooted and working OK for over a year. At some point the latest superuser binary stopped functioning with adb wireless.
So I downloaded SuperSU a few months ago and it's different binary fixed that particular issue. So all was working fine until failing to update that binary today. I'm now in the same boat as you but don't have a clue how or why.

This 2 files are the same as my upd_1.zip. The very same. My upd_1.zip has xbin with busybox, su etc. but it doesn't want to be flashed for some reason. The only files in my xbin folder (in the phone) are : busybox, dexdump, although I flashed the other needed binaries. What is this? Is this my phone's fault?
@edit : Can I flash CWM without those binaries?

Yes you can, and then you can try to flash root again.
If not you can flash CF-Root (only for Gingerbread!!) maybe it works :S
1º Flash via recovery CWM
http://www.mediafire.com/download/u331vcwkr36c28n/CF-Root-S5830-v3.7-b84.zip
2º Flash via CWM APP, it'll fix the bootanimation
when your android will boot, go to CWM app (in your drawer) and select "Flash kernel" and select this file
http://dfiles.eu/files/1sfl9qotm

I flashed CWM Recovery, and now when I select install zip from sdcard and select root file, it says error 7 - update aborted.
@edit - I found the AceGingerRoot.zip. Is it legit and can I install it on GT-S5830 (it has different MD5 than upd_1.zip and root.zip).

I've always used Acegingeroot to get root permissions... do what you consider more solutions, impossible

Acegingerroot didn't worked. No errors at all, but still no root access.

What rom are you using?
Is GT-S5830 your device model?
Did you try CF-Root b84?
Have you got enough free internal memory?
if you have Thinkfree installed, try to delete it flashing this file before flashing root file:

I use the stock ROM - GINGERBREAD.XWKTQ (from the Polish mobile network Play Mobile)
Yes, I have GT-S5830 (checked twice in settings and on box)
No, i didn't tried it.
I have 54 MB left.
I have ThinkFree.
Is ThinkFree Office the problem?

The last firmwares haven't enough space in system partition to push correctly root files, I don't know about your rom, I'm using KTM form Spain as base and I've never had a trouble, but if your problem is that your rom is using all the internal memory (system partition) you couldn't push root files, so you can try deleting ThinkFree from the system partition and then try to root your phone...

Hey, but when I have got CWM flashed, can I flash a custom ROM without those binaries? I just wanted to root my Ace because I wanted to have ICS.

umm I think, yes... I've read post where people have flashed CWM and then a custom rom, but I wouldn't advise you to do it directly... anyway you can try it if you want and report then what happened

Actually, I'm gonna wait till more people on forum will help me. I don't want to risk so much. I don't know what can I do.

LOL! Well thought out! I wouldn't do it either
if upd_1, acegingeroot, and cf-root didn't work and you want to root your device, the best way is to use Odin and to flash a fresh stock rom which it allows you to flash this files

OK. I'm gonna do that, but can you post me some links with download and instructions for my Ace?
And - if I flash a new ROM with Odin, will my CWM recovery disappear?
Oh, I found my ROM on Samfirmware from Play Mobile (XWKTQ 2.3.6), so there's no point of installing it right? I need just a fine ROM with polish language.
EDIT - I almost forgot - I didn't tried the Delete_thinkdroid.zip thingy. I'm gonna flash it now and post the results.
EDIT 2 - WHAT?! I flashed Delete_thinkdroid.zip and it didn't even deleted it. I still have ThinkFree and it's working! Guess i'm gonna need that new ROM. It seems that my ROM just refuses to use recovery flashing in any way.

CWM will disappear, but you can flash it again after flashing a stock rom so no problem
You can use whatever rom you want, here it is the tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1034145

It's still not working. When I swipe to install it says it failed. Then it gives me the option to reboot, wipe or back. I click reboot then it tells me superuser permissions are messed up would I like to fix them. I click yes swipe then I'm back where I started. With superuser and not supersu.

[Q] Problem with installing TWRP Recovery

Why, when I want to install the newest TWRP recovery using Odin, it doesn't install? Phone restarts but when I turn it off and enter to the recovery mode I still see stock one. Only one thing which is changed is flash counter. And status is not official.

Newest TWRP recovery for our phone is provided as zip file http://get.maclaw.pl/?id=91
You must install it from recovery

btw, I have yet one question. Does TWRP Recovery from Maclaw include root checker which offers installing SuperSu if phone isn't already rooted?

Won't Install on Nexus 5

I have a complete stock Nexus 5 aside from TWRP and rooted, but my phone won't get past the boot screen on Nexus 5. I tried twice and it was stuck on the voot screen for five minutes both times. All I did was flash the zip file. Am I doing something wrong??

Try wiping cache & dalvik

I'd try that now but it's just not worth the trouble of sitting through a backup, then having to restore from a backup if it doesn't work.
[EDIT] I just checked and it was already disabled.

I have the same issue on my Nexus 7

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm on the newest version of TWRP.

I even did a factory reset. Flashed TWRP and SuperSU again. Tried flashing Xposed, still just sits there booting.

Tried to install zip file with the xposed framework lollipop on my note 3 sm9005 but it bricked. How do I install it properly? And yes it's rooted.

i just received an update for SuperSU (v2.46, it's in a staged roll-out, but you can download it and install it manually from recovery, here's the link http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip
After updating SuperSU app, and the process from the app I tried reinstalling xposed and the magic was done, no more bootlops!
Try it, maybe this will fix it for you too!

after uptading the apk start the SuperSU app and it will ask you to update the process (at least in italian he calls it "processo", dont know if the correct translation is process, but anyway, update the apk, open it, and it will ask you to update something )

I just said it didn't work.

Tried flashing Xposed with the latest CWM recovery, in case it was something with TWRP. Didn't work either.

Finally got it working! Well at least it's not bootlooping, that is. Took having to manually install the factory image through fastboot but at least it's booting now and showing the android is upgrading screen.

Everything working fine now. Got Gravity Box installed! Finally, woohoo!
