[Q] Did something stupid. Need help RE: Stuck in recovery - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Decided to go back to PA from cyanogen today. Dowloaded gapps and rom, rebooted to recovery...only to discover I downloaded a 4.3 gapps package that won't install. Computer is not recognizing when booted to TWRP. How can I get the correct gapps package pushed to my phone?

The phone will boot with the rom and without gapps. Just flash the rom and then catch up with gapps afterwards

Got it. I just assumed there would be nothing there without gapps. Thanks.

[Q] Installed ROM, but errors for SU & GAPPS??

Good Morning:
I can download and install the OmniRom for the M7UL fine using TWRP. After I install the ROM, I try to install the SU or GAPPS but I always get an error when I do so. I have tried booting into OmniRom and then going back to TWRP and install the SU & GAPPS but no luck. I have tried wiping the cache/dalvik after the ROM install and still won't install anything. It just says it can't open up the zip (SU or GAPPS).
Any ideas?

No clue - both ZIPs flash fine in TWRP for me on all of my devices - device-specific TWRP issue maybe???

Just double check that your using gapps for 4.3 from 8/13/13 and latest SU 1.65 when you watch it flash on TWRP it should say something like now installing gapps for android 4.3. Last but not least does the gapps package work with other AOSP 4.3 roms like CM10.2 it might just be a corrupted download.

crDroid 4.4 wont flash Nexus 4

Hi Folks!
I have problem flashing crDroid 4.4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2516316)
I am currently running stock 4.3 rooted android, and i have TWRP.
I tryed to flash crDroid and it fails, i cant remember exact error (cant find logfile for TWRP also).
I copyed crDroid and gApps files to !ReadyToFlash! directory, booted into recovery, wiped to factory setting, and then tryed to flash crDroid...FAILED.
How should i do this properly?
I have one wild guess, but not sure if this is true.
Maybe i need stock 4.4 on my phone before i can flash crDroid rom?
Regards
Rodney
Update to the latest cwm. Happened to me also

Help! Gapps didnt flash correctly.

I installed a custom ROM and Gapps but the Gapps failed when flashed. Now when it boots, i get errors about the setup and anything that involves google. I try to sideload it but the debugging is not on and i can not go to the settings because the same errors keep popping up. Any ideas on how to fix it? The ROM is the Paranoid ROM.
Flash Gapps again in recovery|

Download another Gapps package, get in to recovery mode (using key combo during boot) and flash again...
Hope you make a backup before!

The problem is i can't get another Gapps package onto the tablet. I tried to flash the stock ROM into it using a toolkit and now it is stuck when booting.

Can't flash cm13 nightly in twrp

I'm currently running cm 13 20151211 nightly on my D802. When i try to flash a new nightly in twrp it's stuck on the flashing screen. I've let it flash overnight and it was still flashing in the morning. When i reboot the device using the button combination it boots back into cm 13 20151211 nightly with xposed still installed so it hasn't even touched the system files. I'm using the latest blastagator twrp.

I've already downloaded the nightly multiple times, using the cm updater and using chrome. I also tried downloading using a pc. Nothing worked.

I made a twrp backup of my rom, wiped data, system, cache and dalvik cache. Then I tried to flash the new nightly and succeeded. Then I flashed the gapps and did a restore of my data. The rom booted perfectly and is running smootly now. Thank you for your help!
Hiiii

Galaxy S4 i9500 - CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) - GApps crashing constantly

So today I went from stock 5.0.1 to CM 12.1 Nightly (20160110) but gapps keeps crashing which makes my phone semi useless
First Things first
1. Flashed TWRP using Odin
2. Went into recovery and wiped Data and System
3. Installed CM 12.1
4. Installed GApps
5. Wiped Cache/Dalvik and rebooted
Phone boots up normally, And after unlocking the screen a stream of errors emerges, Not sure if i'm using the right gapps or not
Any help is much appreciated

Did you by any chance use Opengapps? Opengapps is like a hit or miss. Some days they work and some days then don't.
Try these gapps:

You need to perform a full wipe though.

Yes I did try Opengapps which also didn't work
Edit: The gapps is 6.x.x while my phone is 5.1.1, That won't break my phone will it?

You need 5.1 gapps then.

Still :c I only flashed the base tho, Am I supposed to flash the add ons too?
I think you can try a complete boot before flashing Gapps. And try other builds of Opengapps like mini or micro(well or even smaller depending your "Google apps" usage)

Thanks for the reply, I'm downloading micro right now. Gonna fresh install CM 12.1 using TWRP then boot my phone fully before going back to recovery and flashing Gapps
Will edit my post within 30 mins with the result
Edit: No luck, And now for some reason my phone does not recognise my sim card
Could you try GearCM? Official CM for i9500 had lots of issues.

Strange... because the symptoms shows like a mismatched gapps to cm... btw are you using the lastest TWRP?
If Yes try other recoveries. I used to use Philz until I bricked mine and had to flash back to stock and now I'm using a modified TWRP to enable dual boot.
If No then try update it and give it another try?

I recommend against doing this. The other recoveries are outdated and will give you problems. Stick with the latest TWRP.

I think that i didn't express myself very well. Yes it's advisable and strongly recommended to use lastest builds of any recovery available as stable build.
But once i had to use Philz to flash a MIUI ROM because TWRP 2.8.6.0 was unable to execute the installation script didn't know why and that's why i said about different recoveries, and oh.... I forgot to say that after successful install rollback to TWRP because it's pretty new , stable and more user friendly than others.(CMW and the rainbow Easter egg was fine but having to use vol and power keys..... NO THANKS!)
