after flashing evervolv rom the second time, and the flashing GAPPS, it tells me it cant establish a reliable connection to the server, however, i had it all working yesterday morning. does anyone know what to do?
Dunno. I've flashed Evervolv a few times with no problems other than the known features that ain't working yet.

when i flash a rom that has gapps already installed, everything works, however on CM7 and evervolv, the ones that i have to flash GAPPS myself, it wont work

And it never works. At least redownload it and try that. If not that maybe one of us can make you a new flashable with minimal apps, similiar to the tiny gapps packages that several mdpi roms carry with them.

And you said everytime you have to flash GAPPS yourself it doesn't work. And no one else is having that problem. Therefore, you are doing something wrong.

Umm, the first times I flashed it it worked perfectly, so I don't know how it could be my fault considering I have done it the same every time. I mean I don't know how much I could do wrong by installing a zip file from recovery.
Smoothtaste, that souds great, ill re download the rom and GAPPS both when I get home, then ill get back on here

Sorry, BrandoKC is the man you're looking for there. He's awesome at step by step guides. I take it you tried redownloading GAPPS again?

I have no solution for you, but want one! I've been getting the same problem all day today. I reflashed cm7 then GAPPS and couldn't log into google. It is the same GAPPS and cm7 that I flashed before with success. The GAPPS also worked with evervolv.
I went back to the saved evervolv rom and had to reauth to my google account for some reason. However, I STILL couldn't log in!
I had to eventually go all the way back to my stock backup in order to get access again. (it didn't ask, was already there)

This is what i did, and it worked! i cant guarantee it, but hey if it works then yay! if you have downloaded the roms and GAPPS on your computer, delete them, delete ALL traces of CM7 and also GAPPS or Evervolv if thats what you are using. Also, delete ALL traces of GAPPS and the roms on your phone/sdcard. Then, redownload a new rom and a new GAPPS.. then of course get them onto your sd card. then boot into recovery, make sure your using CWM 3!! then wipe data, wipe the cache, and also wipe the dalvik cache Andvanced>wipe dalvik cache. once its all wiped, flash the rom. STAY IN RECOVERY, and flash GAPPS without ever booting, flash it right after the rom installation is complete. then, reboot, enter your info and hope it works. PLEASE let me know how this works out, im eager to help you.!!!

Im getting this error and force close on one of my Heros when I try installing any of my apps on any of the 2.1 roms. Im coming from Fresh 1.1 and following the same procedure I used on my other Hero on which the market is fully functional. Ive wiped everything over and over and cleared data on anything that looked like it at to do with the market. I also tried fix apk mismatches from recovery. Short of RUU which Id like to avoid if at all possible Ive tried everything else I can think of. In searching I have come across this error code on other android phones, but nothing on the hero and nothing specific to trying to install apps. So has anyone else seen this? And would RUU do anything a full data wipe didnt already?
Reading instructions has its benefits grasshopper...
Download the latest recovery and throw it onto your SD Card, boot into the old version of recovery and flash the new recovery as a .zip update, reboot into recovery again and then wipe your phone again, then install android 2.1, don't reboot yet, make sure your rom either has it's own custom kernal or download one for 2.1 and flash it, open up adb and clear dalvik cache and boot cache, then reboot your phone and you should load without any problems.
Thanks. But I did that from the get go. Aside from flashing a kernal, but Im running Darchtrev2 on the fully functional Hero that I mentioned and thats got a custum kernal built into the rom. So thats what I started with on the second one using the exact same process without success. Does wiping from adb do more than wiping from recovery? Thats one other thing I didnt do after the initial install.... But do understand you correctly that you have seen this specific error before?
Just bumpin the tread in hopes of finding a solution. I dont even mind gettin flamed for asking a stupid question if I could get linked up with a fix! lol I see its getting views, just no ideas I guess... It sucks cuz everything else works fine except the market. I get the list of my downloads, when I tap on one to install I the download button instead of the install button, so Ill tap on it and I get get the progress bar saying its downloading. When it gets to 100% I get the error and force close... Anyone?
I would try wiping again then flashing fresh 1.1 see if that boots and everything works ok then I would redownload the recovery and flash that still running fresh then reboot make sure everyhting is cool, then redownload whatever 2.1 rom you want and wipe and flash.
doing this serves 2 purposes
1. make sure that somewhere along the line none of the files corupted
2. if you still have the same problem then it will let you know where the problem is coming from.
just process of elimination
if you still have problems after that then I would say RUU, yes it is different than just wiping from recovery as it restores a completely stock image and gets rid of everything else. all a data wipe really does is get rid of user data.
just my opinion.
honestley thinnking about it I RUU'd my phone just for giggles then I re-rooted and then flashed DCv1 right from stock and I found that a lot of the little bugs that people where seeing I wasnt so it may not be a bad idea to ruu anyways.
Thanks for the reply and for giving me something different to try. I hadnt thought about trying that. Frustration I guess! It makes sense though. Ill give it shot. Thanks!
Why not see why it fc'd?
Adb with logcat of ...vending....
Find the syntax here: http://developer.android.com/search.html
Just an idea. It may or maynot give you the insight to fix the cause ( like a parameter ...vending... is null fetching on ).
Yeah, Ive been thinking about RUU'n too just to see if making a fresh start would make any difference, but after all the time I spent getting the one Hero working like I want on 2.1 and the troubles Ive had with the second and what Ive read about people bricking trying to RUU or flash recovery Ive been kinda hesitant....

Sometimes it's just fun to RUU and do everything again
Alright if you're still having problems then just follow these steps:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid back up just in case something goes wrong.
Download the latest version of your current 2.1 rom and reflash it from Recovery.
Open up adb and mount the /data directory (adb shell, mount /data)
Enter the following two commands in adb: rm -r /data/boot-cache , rm -r /data/dalvik-cache
Go Back to ADB and type the following commands: cd /data/data/com.android.vending , rm -R cache
Fix UID Mismatches using the tool in Recovery and then reboot your phone

The latest RUU? I used the 1.56..... I did get it working tho. Flashed the mms. fix zip. Just wasn't expecting to have to as I didn't with my other hero. Don't know what the difference is between the two devices. Both are google branded, but the second one fought me every step of the way.

I was having the same problem on DC a couple days ago and that fixed it for me. I was reading this thread wondering why no one had mentioned it yet.
hi there
ive been reading the last few days, and decided to flash a custom rom. i had wanted to do CM 7 nightlies. but i had trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.x.x.x for some reason, i decided to go with CM 6.1.2 RC 2, so that i didnt have to flash it and could just install Clockwork Recovery 2.xxx via ROM manager.
Ok, so i did the nandroid backup. Wiped. Installed the CM 6.1.2. Then my phone wouldn't turn on... i thought i had bricked it. But i took out my battery, sim card, and SD card and tried again and it turned on. I was super relieved.
Anyway, now on CM 6.1.2, im having a few issues/bugs.
1) how do i restore all my old info? Contacts/apps all that stuff? Im not sure how to bring it all back.
2) My home button doesn't work. I have to keep using the back button if i want to get anywhere.
Thanks to the community for helping me achieve this! Just a few more questions though, thanks !!

Once you sign back into your google account, your contacts should flood back in...apps can be reinstalled via the market (if you flashed the google apps package)
Try rebooting, your home button may work after that
tried to add my old google account and it said 'unable to open connection to server'
?
and i rebooted and that didnt work, for the home screen. i went back and wiped everything again and installed CM 6.1.2 again and the home button still doesnt work.
very aggravating.

just a question. If you wipe and flash Sense back to the phone does the home button work?
im not sure, do i just do a factory reset or something?
or restore from the recovery reboot?
also, market place is not on the phone?

Then it sounds like you did not flash the G/AAPS as well. If you only flashed CM6.1.2RC2 you will not have ANY Google Applications. G/Mail, G/Talk, Maps, market. all those will be missing.
just did the restore -
home button works, everythings just like i left it.
its an RC so im unsure of it being a bug? Not really sure what else it could be.
maybe an earlier build? i dunno

UGH, thats what i tried initially, but i was having trouble flashing clockwork recovery 3.xxx to my phone (keep in mind im a super noob)
i saw that link someone posted for people that are having trouble, where you push the flash_image file to your phone.
it said put the flash_image file (and yeah, i unzipped it and used the file not the .zip) in the root of your SD card.
and im not quite sure where that is (i know i know, im learning dont laugh!)

ON CM6.1.2RC2 /which is an Android 2.2 ROM/ yes it will install pre signing it..... you can either sign in at the beginning to auto download the applications or you can skip it and add it via, Accounts & Sync to skip the auto downloading... Only Gingerbread currently installs G/APPS post signing in.
If they are having a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi you should still get all the applications it will just not allow you to do anything.

much much much thanks to this guy
he walked me through flashing clockwork recovery 3.0.0.5 to my phone. i had a few issues with renaming the clockwork recovery file a .img, and where to put files and such, and he helped me through all that.
i was able to do it successfully and then push CM 7 nightly 23 to my phone, and am running it perfect
so its my first day doing this and ive pushed CM 6.1.2 RC2 to my phone, and now CM 7. it was a great day in learning for me.
one problem is, i logged in to my google account, and it says everything is sync'd and im getting emails and such - but my contacts still haven't transfered. no biggy though, i can put them on again.
question - in the future is there a way that i can make a backup of all my apps, and all my data and that stuff, so that if i put another nightly over it, or switch to another build i can keep all that stuff?

Buy Titanium Backup from the market! It's the best $5 you'll spend. You can backup your existing apps with the data. You can also freeze bloatware if there are any on the phone. I doubt you'll need it as CM7 is very very slim already
EDIT: Make sure when you reinstall your contacts, you sync it with google. Next time you do a clean wipe, you can sign in and they will apprear. On the nightlies, you can just flash the new builds over the old ones. I do a clean wipe every 3 builds to keep it clean. You can also backup you ADW or LPP settings so it will be easy for you to restore on a new wipe. Hope this helps!
Everytime i try to install any apps in the CM7 Nightly build (#25-26) it just instantly says application not installed..
ive tried fixing permissions, reflashing, going to stock rom and reflashing, and the only apps ive been wanting to get on there are the gapps.. i tried other ones to test em also dont work.
anybody have any takes on this?
Side note: also when i try to change the theme on the rom i get no service..

do you actually have the market, or is the google apps zip not flashing at all?
try clearing the data and cache from the market app(settings, applications, then choose market app, then hit clear data and cache). See if that fixes your downloading issues.
I dont have the market, the rom doesn't come with any apps put in by google and it wont let me install any apps whatsoever through the file manager..and i have no marketplace either so it's just ridiculous.. lol but whatever i've decided to go back to ice glacier till cm7 is good...ice glacier is MUCH more stable
Appears you haven't followed cm7 install instructions. gapps zip should be flashed the FIRST time you install, along with the ROM. Then, on your first use of the Market app - automatic or you cancel out during first boot provisioning sequence - Market will download all your previously installed apps for you. Like magic.

i tried everything. what you said what i said what others told me. nothing worked.
You stated Market was not installed. You also stated you followed directions correctly. One of those can't be the case.
Try a complete reinstall. From recovery, format /system, factory reset, then reinstall both cm7 and gapps from their zips. On the first boot, you'll be prompted to select some apps from Market. You can cancel out to set up wifi or do other stuff...but the first time you run Market you'll get the same opportunity. When Market runs, all apps you've downloaded will be downloaded again.
Be very careful restoring any system data from Titanium Backup. Email data and SMS data, AW Launcher should be ok.

go to rom manager.
under "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery"
Your current recovery should be 2.5.1.4 and not 2.5.1.2
Be sure you have the latest build to install gapps.
May the force be with you.
Not trying to sound like an ass but I honestly have tried everything you guys have said but they all did not work I didn't com on here and ask for help when there's many threads for that I've looked I'm not the retard that reads nothing and then asks for help..I posted this thread cause nothing has worked whatsoever..
Let's get this straight. You did a COMPLETE wipe as described, installed cm7, installed gapps, booted, and you weren't prompted to run Market or cancel during that first boot sequence? Or after your boot completed, Market wasn't installed?

Yep i've even tried installing cm6 same problem..i guess i was not destined for cm..
I can only think of two possibilities. You will, I'm sure, laugh at #2, and assume it is an impossibilty. Yet I think it more likely than #1. But you can test #1 by creating a new, temporary gmail account. If you don't get Market, then the answer must be the one you don't believe: #2.
1. There is something dreadfully wrong with your gmail account settings.
2. You are missing a critical step in the installation process.
If you do find things working with your new gmail account, you could compare account information and try to effect repairs -- Google's dashboard might be a place to start.
yea if your not getting market thats a big issue..... are you using the right gapps? cause CM6 and CM7 have different Gapps i think. i know you think we're a bit retarded cause you've gone through and tried all these methods. but unless you give us a FULL detailed account of exactly everything you did we won't know. not to bash just letting you know. and yea i know its frustrating just take your time. dont want to brick your phone.
nah i kno you guys are trying to help lol ill try the gmail account thing tho and let you guys kno how it goes :] and i also used the gapps appropriate for each cm hehe i generally follow exactly what needs to be done... but thnx for the help guys sorry if i went off earlier..

Have you tried a fastboot wipe before installing CM7? That would be my suggestion. Also, make sure you are flashing thru recovery so you can make sure to be able to see any errors while flashing. It sounds like it isnt even installing any of the apps that are included. You can also use a file explorer and look in your system/app folder and see if anything from the gapps zip has been installed. You can also take the vending.apk and push it via adb or copy and paste it via Androidmate (free in market). Just make sure you check and fix the permissions to match all the other apps in the folder.
I really think a fastboot wipe will do it but you can try and check the other stuff first. Maybe it is placing them but not installing for some reason.
Well the gapps aren't the only problem tho which is why I don't think it's an installation problem. Even if iI tried installing other apps it just says app not installed like the package installer isn't working...maybe the main problem lies there?
I recovered back to froyo from cm7 7.0.3 thinking I would give the gingerbread update a try. After seeing what bugs they had on gingerbread I went back fresh to cm7. I have cm7 7.0.3 on it no problem but when I try to put the newest nightly on it it does'nt do anything. It will download the nightly but when I tap it to install it say it will boot into recovery but dose'nt. I've tried it with 86,87 nightlys and it has done the same thing. Any help would be nice. Thanks.
Im guessing you are using ROM manager. If you are, dont. Just download the nightly zip from the thread on here for cm7, place on your sd card, reboot into recovery, nandroid, wipe cache and dalvik, and flash.

This. ROM manager, while convenient, is kind of a plague to us. This is because people learn to do all of their recovery based work through it and never learn how to work with the recovery (obvious by the fact that you haven't just booted into recovery and done it yourself, OP).
So do as this smart poster says.

This. ROM manager, while convenient, is kind of a plague to us. This is because people learn to do all of their recovery based work through it and never learn how to work with the recovery (obvious by the fact that you haven't just booted into recovery and done it yourself, OP).
So do as this smart poster says.

I have done that in the past. It's just much easier to do it through rom manager. Used it several times before with no problems.

Have you tried clearing the data and cache with ROM manager and trying again?

Well now you ARE having a problem. And it's really not that much easier. Again, download zip, reboot to recovery, nandroid, clear cache and dalvik, and flash. Literally takes maybe 10 seconds more than Rom manager.
I understand that CM devs don't have gapps in their updates anymore, but it's inconvenient to have to set up and intialize everything that gapps pertains to each and every time I want to update. Is there anyway around this!?
Thanks for your help.

What gapps are you using? If they're built properly (i.e. the "official" gapps on Goo.im - 20121212) or don't have an md5 that's on the "blacklist", you don't have to flash them with every nightly, there are scripts that preserve them between nightlies, assuming you're not wiping data.

I used one that I pulled from a video I watched. The file name is 4.2_gapps_fixed-11-26-12.
So if I use gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip, Assuming I'm running the correct CM and Android version, it shouldn't delete upon update? What would be any different than what I had before? I don't mean to cause trouble, I'm just curious .

Without comparing the zip files, I'm not sure. Always best to have the most current Gapps however. Aside from custom Gapps packages you may see posted in the Themes/Apps section, the 20121212 ones are the most current and everything will work.
Flash them, and then you won't have to worry about it after that, unless you wipe data, in which case you'd have to flash them again.

I'm about to flash it, but does it matter that I have a current version of gapps before flashing this one? Will it cause any interference, or will the old files be deleted?

Flash away! The old files will be deleted. There might be a lingering one or two, but nothing that won't be taken care of after the next nightly flash.
Maybe flash the new gapps first, and then the ROM, this will clear out all the dead wood most likely.
When you flash the Official GApps (IIRC its hosted somewhere on the CM website, other mirrors are around though) a file in the addon.d folder is created, which preserves the GApps package when flashing an update. This means that you only have to flash GApps the first time you flash CM.
FYI you can create/edit your own files in the same folder to preserve any custom system apps, which you have added after flashing CM to ensure they also survive the update process.

Use CyanDelta. You can update to the next nightly with small downloads + gives you the option to auto-flash another file, after flashing the nightly..
