Gapps not flashing - Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i have a zenfone 501cg. Recently i flashed resurrection remix . After that when i try to flash Gapps its not working. The flashing is completing error free but when reboot there is no Gapps installed . I am pretty sure i have the correct Gapps package ( X86) . I also tried changing the rom but no change . Plz help
Thanks

Use the recovery from here (Credit goes to @X AnwarMov) . If you already use this version of recovery (Right now) and it fails then you may mount system partition manually before flashing Gapps.
If it also fails, you may also use the twrp 2.8.7.0 recovery from here (Credit goes to @quanganh2627)

Nexus 7 2012 can't install GApps

Hi, i have on my N7-2012 TWRP 3.0.2.
I did Advanced Wipe for all partitions, and Format Data. I changed /data and /cache to f2fs and flashed a Nougat ROM from this form (DirtyUnicorn) I had no troubles.
I wiped system again (to avoid space problems during the flash of Gapps) and tried to flash GApps 'open_gapps_arm7.0-micro-20161018.zip', but i got this error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 7.0.x ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 5.1.1 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
- Copying log to /usb-otg/Nexus 7 Asus
- NO changes were made to your device
Install will now exit...
Error code: 20
- Unmounting
I tried with other nougat ROM such as Carbon but i got the same error. The weirdness is that i tried also with a MM rom, and tried to flash GApps for MM... again, same error! He ask for a 5.1.1 GApps! So strange.
So, only for my curiosity, i reflashed DU ROm, downloaded and flashed GApps for 5.1.1. First time, i got the error:
*** Incompatible Android ROM detected ***
This GApp pkg is for Android 5.1.1 ONLY
Please download the correct version for
your ROM: 7.0.0 (SDK 22)
*** GApps intallation failed ***
i tried again and flash worked, i rebooted the device and..... bootloop... obviously.
Can you help me?
UPDATE: i forget to say that i tried also with: nano and pico gapps, and Banks Gapps. Same problem. if i reboot the device without gapps the rom work but if i download apk play store and install it doesn't work when i open it.
pls, noone can help me? :crying:

Are you wiping "system" after installing the ROM? If so, you are effectively removing the ROM you just installed which leaves the GAPPS script nothing to detect to install. The proper install would be: Flash ROM and the Flash Gapps (usually pico or nano to save space) and then reboot, no wiping in between.
I had this issue no matter what rom I tried after flashing an android 7.0 rom. I just did a factory reset by flashing back to a factory image now everything seems fine and google apps are working again.
I followed this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1907796 but used kit kat 4.4.4 image and didn't lock the boot loader. Then flash the recovery of your choice again and your good to go.

Yes i wiped /system cause after the flash of the ROM when i try to install GApps i get error "not enough space". I followed the tips of a xda GUIDE wiping /system
@dinotyped: Are you telling me that there's no way to have Nougat on my N7? :crying::crying:
@qwerweteryu You should be able to use Nougat roms ok. I've not tried again. I'll likely stick to marshmallow for the time being just because of personal preference.

Stick with "Pico" (or possibly) "Nano" Gapps to make sure you have enough space after flashing the ROM. You can always go back after booting / setting up and install the other Google Apps that you want.

Custom flashing my note 3

Good day guys,
I am from Singapore and I want to flash custom rom for my Note 3 LTC SM-N9005. I am not new to custom flash as I have done it successfully last time using Cwm.
However I been facing problem flashing custom on this note 3.
I have downloaded AryaMod ROM, rooted my stock firmware with chain fire auto root(flash using ODIN), installed twrp 2.8.7.0 using flashify.
I copied the rom to my SD card, power off phone, enter recovery mode (volume up, power and home) with Twrp interface . Wipe up the necessary delvik cache etc, then I install the ROM.
However I get to the screen where it says
Installing external_sd/ROM.zip
Checking md5 file.
Skipping md5 check. No md5 file found
.
.
.
Flashing file 1 of 1
External_sd/rom.zip
It run for about 2 mins. Then it auto goes back to twrp page. I reboot the phone into system mode but the firmware is not being flashed.
External_sd/rom.zip
What zip file is it ??
Edit: Didn't realize that AryaMod uses Aroma so latest version of TWRP is a no go.
If its an Aroma install then newer TWRP may/will not work .
See Rom faqs .

Download this one and flash it in your current twrp https://dl.twrp.me/hlte/twrp-2.8.7.0-hlte-4.4.zip.html
After that reboot again to your twrp and start flashing your rom.
You probably have flashed the one for 4.3 bootloader, a wrong one...
I guys I have the same problem when I'm trying to flash any Rom my phone its a 9005. I thinks its not TWRP 2.8.7.0 4.4 hlte etc... because I have it and did not work. tried by 2 ways: by updating bootloader/modem and without them and the result are the same. Im running stock lollipop, now without root neigther. So Im kind a stuck here in this obsulete 5.0 lol
any ideias, thanks in advance
See your multiple identical posts .
Start at stage one boot to download mode and see what model you have .

Download and install TWRP below, it's the 64bit version and you can install via TWRP. In the menu of installing ROMs in TWRP choose the option to install .img, choose TWRP and install, then choose the ROM you want and install. Remember that you must erase everything and format the data.

Yeah
Flash 64 bit twrp . And don't forget to reboot into twrp again after flashing 64 bit twrp .
This problem is because of your 32 bit twrp.
Try installing 64bit twrp recovery . Then u wil b able to flash rom. Please note that twrp 3.1.0 is 32 bit and twrp 3.1.1 is 64 bit.
Please tell me marshmallow rom

I think its a very common mistake everybody does.
before installing any custom ROM make sure that u wipe Dalvik cache and cache of the device then flash the rom and gaps also.
And another major issue with the custom ROM requirements like that ROM support in one minimum version of TWRP recovery
if u install that ROM bellows the version of requirements the ROM will not install properly.

Download twrp updater from playstore, download 3.2.1.0 the latest as 3.1.1.1 will not mount your storage use twrp updater to flash official TWRP that i mentioned above
Then if you are on stock rom then take backup in some external drive and place रोम and gapps too,
Then do format data in wiping section, do it thrice and then wipe delvik, cache, data, system and internal storage too now mount external dtive(either OTG or SD card) and flash rom followed by gapps 7.1 pico
As I writing my experience as I am currently on RR ROM

[Q] phone keep booting into recovery

so i just doing a clean install of the beta 3 rom, i did follow the instruction that written in the thread but some how after installing the update when i'm about to reboot into system it keeps rebooting into the recovery. so i decided to clean wipe and re-flash the rom, and some how it says that there's no rom installed. i've tried to install other custom rom like, LOS 15 and Liquid Remix, but it's still the same, keep booting to recovery and showing that there's no rom installed. plz help...
Go to twrp > wipe > format data > yes
Then transfer oos OB 3 to your phone, use adb push command is better than copy paste(not sure why because sometimes i copy pasted into phone, sometime it bootloop or storage not recognised)
Flash it, then flash magisk 15.2. then reboot. It should work fine. Unless you use a not compatible twrp version.
thanks for ur solution before, but can u tell me the compatible twrp is, cuz i'm using the twrp 3.2.1 by blu spark and it keeps booting into recovery
You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted.
"You need to flash no verity zip. If you are decrypted. "
Thanks god for this comment, use about 2 hours digging around forums and re-flashing, wiping, trying diffrent TWRPs, different roms. And when I found this comment I just isntalled the zip and it worked within 10 seconds.

Recovery crash when flashing custom ROM

Hi everyone,
I posted this thread in general troubleshooting category and after some advice, I decided to post it in the S4 section.
I was since 3 years on custom ROM (CM and Lineage OS) and due to substratum, I had a bootloop.
My problem is quite particular, after a total clean (wipe and format cache,system,data, dalvik cache) of my device and flashing the stock ROM, custom recovery cause me some trouble.
Whatever I try (CWM touch 6 or TWPR 3.1.1), I can't flash custom ROM (Lineage OS 14.1), TWPR or CWM crash 1 second after the flash command and reboot, with disable touchscreen and even by using old navigation way and try again, same problem.
Tried also to disable file signature check but no effect.
Quick summary about what I did:
- Device: Samsung Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505)
- ROM stock used: I9505XXUHOJ2 ( the build on which is based the CF-Root file I used) and Bulgarian version due to mistake.
- I tried on these two ROM with in the two cases, no patch or Samsung ROM update made.
- Tried to install CWM by ROM Manager and ODIN (v3.09)
- TWPR installed by TWPR App using file in .img and not the second option (tar.img) for LTE Internationnal Qualcomm.
-Checked the root before last attempt with root checker and it was ok.
- Made 4 times already the clean and Stock ROM flash to clean recovery and try another way to install it (never had error after recovery install).
Actually I'm on the OJ2 Rom with update and patch delivered by Samsung with classic method.
In advance thanks for your help and I really hope it's not too serious.
By the way, sorry for my english, it's not my native language
Try flashing the stock ROM from sammobile.com or updato.com, don't root, use Odin 3.07 to flash the tar version of TWRP 2.8.7, try flashing a custom ROM.
Thx for the help/advice
Just to be sure, my stock ROM is actually from up updato.com but due to the patch and Samsung update I'm now on HPK2.
Here the detail of my stock ROM
https://image.noelshack.com/fichiers/2018/05/4/1517503670-screenshot-2018-02-01-17-43-00.png
(the integrated image link option made it as large as the moon so I prefer a simple link)
TWPR 2.8.7 is still efficient or another version would be better ?
If yes, I will try in the hour and I will give you news as soon as possible
EDIT: After some research, TWPR 2.8.7 jfltexx is not avaible in .tar , only .img and impossible to find it on net...
But 2.8.6 and 2.8.4 are avaible in .tar and 3.0.0 in .img.tar , which one is the best ?
I suggested 2.8.7 because Ihave used it in the past and it was very stable. Try a newer tar version. It's really just to see if the phone will take TWRP and boot it.
Whatever I try (TWRP 3.0.0 and 3.0.1 in .img.tar for jlftexx)
Odin (v3.07) do the job , my phone reboot as normal.
But when I shutdown it and lauch in recovery by manual way, got during a micro seconds the android logo of loading and intant "No commands " and I end on the stock recovery.
Edit: I will try the same method with Odin using CWM tar (never had problem with it before this day)
Same thing with CWM-v6.0.4.7-Touch-GT-I9505.tar
Android loading logo and "No command detected"
Problem solved
Well, I don't know how I made a sucess but it seems the "wild" method worked.
So here is the list of things I did in case somepne got the same trouble
Put your Zip file on SD AND Internal Memory (in case)
All the Zip files I used where on my internal storage during this procedure.
- Download mode:
uncheck Auto Reboot in Odin
flash TWRP3.0.1.0 jlftexx.img.tar with ODIN in admin mode
turn off device after flash ended
Obligation or the stock recovery will return automatically !
Lauch device in recovery mode:
If it's TWRP good news, slide to confirm modifications.
Recovery mode:
-Wipe --> Advanced Wipe--> Select Cache, Dalvik Cache, Sytem and Data (never check internal and SD storage)
I tried by mistake without wiping dalvik cache, and got no boot after 5 minutes so i made it again with all the wipe above
-Install --> Flash zip of the rom and Gapps (got an error at zip signature check on the ROM so I flashed after uncheck this option)
-Reboot --> System
Let your device launch on the new rom, set the basic parameters and after, if you want, return in recovery to flash the SU addon for root (got also zip sugnature fail so I ahd to uncheck it again)
Hoping no one will ever had the same problem but in case, I share my solution
Thanks again for help
