Received this phone a month ago, just got around to rooting it yesterday. Root with motochopper went fine. Unlocked the handset with motopocalypse, everything went fine. Installed latest CM10.2 nightly and everything ran fine, even restarted phone and it worked fine. I then realized I forgot to install Gapps, So i went to CWM and installed the Gapps through "install zip from sd card". Now phone will not progress past the bootloader unlocked warning screen. I can restart and put phone into recovery or fastboot no problem but I don't know where to go from here. I tried a factory reset and reinstallation of CM but to no success. I am a bit of a newb when it comes to external programs like RSD Lite and haven't used it. Is there something obvious I'm missing in my progress of trying to fix my phone?
clear cache and dalvik cache under advanced then restart.
if you still loop do the above steps plus data reinstall cm10.2.
if you still loop do all above steps but also format system under mounts be re-install.
if you loop after all that then try a different ROM.
PS what version of gapps did you use.

i can't post outside links yet but on the wiki.cyanogen site in the Gapps section I used the 10.2 20130813 1f51b5cc6370c1f45dc951109b6ce6ed release. I will attempt those steps once i can find a legitimate charger in my house. Phone doesn't accept power unless its on and i need just a bit of juice to boot it up

Here's the official name. Installed cm-10.2-2-130814-NIGHTLY-mb886.zip for the cm and gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip for the GApps, both latest versions I believe

none of the above steps worked unfortunately. Is there a set order of certain things to be mounted and unmounted in the mount section? Such as the system or sd card?

did you flash gapps before flashing the ROM because the ROM flash will overwrite the gapps.
PS I suggest using zgapps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2240652 because they are stripped down which tends to prevent a lot of issues and if you want a 4.3 ROM try skeevydudes PAC ROM it is more stable plus has more features.

Thank you for all the help. PACROM is up and running swimmingly, all of the features are there and it is definitely better than CM by itself. Thanks again

My boot went corrupt with CM 7.0.2. I was able to restore to stock with no problem, but everytime I attempt to install CM 7 (stable or nightly), I get a black screen except for a little white/light blue line in the upper right corner.
I use the 3.0.0.5 Recovery with the directions in the following link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=949699
Does anyone have an idea why this happens? I do remove the SD recovery card, and insert a blank SD card before rebooting.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Use 3.0.2.8 recovery
Thanks, I'll give that a shot right quick.

Tried it and it boots back to the black screen with the line in the upper right corner.
Here's what I did.
Made the bootable sd card, copied over lastest build of cm7 and gapps.
Installed zips.
wiped data.
switch sd cards, rebooted
also tried it w/o wiping data.
Is there anything I'm doing wrong?
Wiping cache?

Just downloaded a stable release, and it works. Is there any reason why the Nightly 80 wouldn't work, even after re-downloading it?
I'm also dealing with the same issue as well. The problem started when I tried to update from nightly 76 to 77. I also tried to flash to nightly 80, but no luck. I'm flashing a stable release now.
Edit: Flashing the stable release also worked for me. However, I wasn't able to flash the latest nightly over the stable build.
Yep.
Same problem here.
The stable works, boots fine, but the nightlies won't boot.
They go into the same flashing blue line.
I tried all the advice I could find, wipe system, cache, data and tried restoring to stock, still no dice.
I am using CWM 3.0.2.8.
I'm just a different flash method (verygreen's SD install), but found that nightlies beyond 75 won't boot without installing the .32 OC kernel. There's a discussion in both cyanogenmod experimental nook forum and in the dev forum here about it.
I guess I'll just wait until they resolve the issue then. I was really wanting to see how well the deep sleep worked.
Finally got the latest nightly from today with OC kernel and gapps. Running great so far. Just waiting on market being able to download.
So I was on cm10.2 . Today i just wanted to use some stock experience for sometime as my exams are near so i wanted a stable rom.
So i tried to restore the Nand Backup from CWM. Restore was successful , Phone Boots everything is fine till that. After i enter to the setup wizard(Coz i wiped the data before making the backup) this error : Unfortunately the process com.google.gapps has stopped.
If i skip this then Setup Wizard Force Closes and then am not able to access anything on the phone. Everything seems to be force closing randomly?
Any Solution?

You have CM10.2 GAPPS (4.3) on 4.1.2 system. That is the problem. You should wipe system and preload partition before you did restore. Try it now again. Do wipes and restore backup again. Gapps are not in data paritition.
Im having a similar issue
Hi! the same is happening to me, but im sure i flashed the right gapps from cwm. also, i tryed to restore a previous back up, the restore seems succesfull but when i boot i still see the setup wizard, even when i flash the right gapps after restore. I tryed cleaning caché, doing a factory reset. I dont know what else to do. The last thing i was doing with my working phone was trying (but i uninstalled it after a while) swapper2. but i letft my sd card only with fat32 as in the begining.

I know I had similiar problems when I was going from CM to stock. I can't remember what exacly I did to solve it. I will look on some posts I wrote before. You have problems with gapps, that ia why it force close.
P.S. Solution for someone was to flash some custom ROM. Try with that.

Put CoCore with TWRP on SD and install it from CWM.
I had same problem. I never use GAPPS, so I have not flashed the zip. Still I encountered this strange problem.
I found two possible methods which may help.
To restore 'stock JB backup' you must flash CM 10.1(4.2.2) or CM 10(4.1) and make sure you wipe data,cache and dalvik-c before and after flashing.
The from CM 10.1/10 recovery restore the stock JB backup.
If that did not work, the use ODIN to flash the stock JB firmware and then flash custom recovery. With this recovery you can restore either data or all of the partitions. GOOD LUCK

can i restore my cwm backups from TWRP?
---------- Post added at 08:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------
well... after installing cocore with TWRP and then flashing gapps 4.1.2 from there, the problem persist. As i said before, after flashing stock rom from odin, then gapps from any recovery, the problem persist. wt* am i doing wrong!?
let me remember you, I am not who started this thread, but i have a similar issue.
Thanks
Edit: in order to bring you clues in case you may help me. I noticed that the keyboard doesnt show up if i try to write the password of the wi-fi network in setup wizard, also gapps still crashing as soon the phone boots and setup wizard after i try to skip it.
later edit: HEY HEY HEY! i noticed in "show log" option in cwm that after restoring the backup there are two issues:
I: Can't format unknow volume: /external_sd
I: Can't partition unsafe device: /dev/block/mmcblk0p8
hmmm... i didn't expect that.
keep updating: both cyanogen 10.0 and 10.2 don't even boot. they stay stucked in the pretty loading screen.
didn't find anything helpfull to do from recovery or odin
any clue?
just for the record (if anyone came here looking for an answer) i did a downgrade to 2.3.6 with this guide: (it is in spanish, but provides all the files and im sure you can find one in your language)
grupoandroid . com/topic/67294-gbguia-downgrade-de-jb-a-gb/ (delete spaces)
now i will upgrade to JB again, i hope that without problems.
edit: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!
after 2.3.6 working without issues, flashed 4.1.2 from sammobile with odin (the same .md5 that i had for months!) and the problem came again. gapps error, and couldnt finish the setup wizard....

Ok, try to install some ROM now. I remember that someone solved with that. But manual mount system and preload partitions just in case.
I had similar problems after coming back from CM10 before.
If that do not help, (have CWM or TWRP) put some ROM zip on SD - wipe ALL (cache, dalvik cache, system, preload, factory reset) and install ROM again.

I couldn't install CM10 or 10.2 from CWM after wiping cache, dalvik, system, preload, and factory. I got
"getprop(ro.build.product) = i9070, getprop(ro.product.device) = GT-I9070
error or something like that and i get stucked.
I'll downgrade again and keep it for one day until the night, i can't be without my phone one more day.

Hi
I'm trying to install Kitkat 4.4 with Maclaws cm11. Also tried the carbon rom. All seems to work fine until I flash G apps. Then I get random reboots shortly after boot. Tried both micro and aroma Gapps from Mclaw. Am I alone with this problem? Any suggestions?
I'm using CWM for flashing and wrong cache etc. Baseband I8190XXANA2 in stock 4.1.2 (rooted) which works fine.
After more research it seems like reboots happens also without Gapps. Also happening in 4.3. There was recently a firmware update early this week. Maybe something has changed, breaking custom ROMs.

Bud,
If you're on stock just do that:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Choose Wipe data/factory reset
3-Flash cm rom
4-Flash gapps
5-Reboot
Done, that's it. Not complicate.
If you want to update cm roms:
1-Reboot in recovery
2-Flash cm update
3-Choose Wipe cache & dalvik cache
4-Reboot
Done.
You don't need to mess up with anything more. Read my FAQ here for gapps & for more doubts. Have fun
thanks...

Thanks for the advice. I've read the faq's and followed that, but the problem is that my phone just reboots randomly a minute or so after it's booted up. Was suspecting this to be the latest firmware update, but if so the forum would probably been flooded with more with the same problem.
It might be my battery, which is bad. Just got a new one. Charging it now, and will try CM11 again tomorrow. If it still reboots I'll see if I'm able to access the logs to get an idea of whats going on. It works fine on stock, so I'm a bit puzzled... .
Solved
...and after changing battery CM11 runs smooth without reboots .
The reboots happened with the original charger plugged in. Why that didn't happen to the stock ROM I can't explain.
The original Samsung battery scares me a bit. It has become 1-2 mm thicker. Looks like an accident waiting to happen. Have to dispose of safely somehow...quick...
First off, I'm new here despite having visited this site many times before. Glad to be here!
So, I recently flashed CyanogenMod 12.1 to my Moto G (xt1045). It's worked well so far but my only issue is that I can't seem to get Gapps on my phone no matter how many times or ways I've tried. I've wiped the Dalvik cache, done a factory reset, adb side loading...pretty much everything, but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Does the developer recommend any gapps? Did you try these: http://opengapps.org/ ?
Flash through TWRP,in the upcoming menu you can chose which apps you´d like to have,which ones should be replaced etc. Wipe Cache/dalvik afterwards.
If you try to flash gapps what happens? Any error message? Just nothing?
Yes, the CyanogenMod site provided several links which I tried originally tried, and I also used your links but with no success. When the phone reboots, right after I swipe the lockscreen to unlock, I get a message that says "Unfortunately, Google Play Services has stopped working.". Sometimes it reappears several more times after I tap 'ok'.
I tried flashing Gapps using my first recovery which is CWM. When none of that worked I flashed TWRP, then restarted the whole process and still nothing. Does it make a difference that CWM was there first? Also, in TWRP I see no option for choosing which Gapps to be installed.
Normally you put the zip file with the Gapps on your SD card and when you push the "install"button in TWRP just scroll down until you find the zip and use the slider to flash them.
I don´t know your rom but often the procedure is to to factory reset and wipe the phone(Dalvik, Data, Cache and System), then flash the rom,wipe dalvik/cache and then let the phone boot one time. Skip all the steps in the setup process until you get to the homescreen,then reboot the phone into recovery again and flash the gapps. After that wipe cache/dalvik again and let the phone boot.
If you flash the gapps directly after the rom without rebooting there can be issues between sytem apps of the rom like for example playstore and playservices and the flashed Gapps.
Cool, I'll try that. I read somewhere to start with a clean slate ROM so I'm downloading CyanogenMod again. When it finishes I'll do what you suggested and report back.
I just updated my bootloader and whenever i try to flash a rom, the booting process takes forever until i wipe my phone myself. But when i flash Andro X rom than it takes max. 3min to boot and then it works.
But i want another rom, how do i fix this?
Do you mean that when u flash lollipop based rom it gets bootloop? if yes then first flash stock lollipop firmware and then try flashing other rom. I mostly wipe my internal storage when going from Kitkat to lollipop it works for me.
Well Firstly Explain your problem clearly (I didnt quite understand it)
OK so here's my solution from what I understood..
1. Restore your stock rom Backup from recovery. Boot it once.
2. Now clean flash (Wipe System, Data , Cache, Dalvik cache) a lollipop based Rom (preferably try to clean flash cm 12.1 build)
3. Dont flash Gapps. First see if your phone boots up properly.
4. Configure data and reboot to recovery and flash Gapps.
If you dont have a Stock backup, Then download Stock Firmware images from gregor's thread and install via fastboot. Then follow from step2.
Hope this helps you.

are you fully wiping cache and userdata (factory reset) because this is most common problem moving between Roms that causes bootloops and why I include factory reset in my easy installer.
you can only dirty flash when going up (upgrading) the same rom - changing roms or downgrading nearly always causes bootloop / hang.
