[Q] CWM and Download problem

dischneider said:

Hi everyone,

tried to make my old gio usable ...
It was rootet long time ago with cwm.

I want to install CM11, so first I updated like described to tass 6.0.4.5 via zip from sdcard, because my cwm (3.x) was old.
But after (automatically done) rebbot the gio system (2.3.6 stock rom) works, but CWM dosn't. Pressing the 3-Button or 2-Button method a log appears and stands for hours while pressing keys. After releasing keys system is booting the 2.3.6.

So I tried to recover with odin - if pressing the 3-button to apply download mode the screen becomes yellow word "downloading" at black background - but with 2 PCs (driver installed with kies at one, with driver pack at the second) don't find the phone, only an unknown usb device *without* usb id.

I need some suggestions how to recover the device.

Thanks

Like described in the update to my last post I will confirm, that everything works fine now.

I resettet to CWM 5.0.xx, updated to 6.0.4.7_GIO (this one works, the 6.0.4.5 I tried again, seems to be broken!).
After booting CWM 6.0.4.7 I installed CM11 RC5 (stable build) from sd and rebooted the device.
First boot was up to 20 minutes, but now everything works!

Now I have to search for the gapps package ...

Thanks a lot for your help!

Because of not easy to find the right version.

I am not patching my phone every day.
I know the technics, because I'm a professional it specialist.

But it isn't easy to find the right versions.
I did find 6.0.4.7 and not 6.0.4.8 *advanced*
What do advanced mean? Is it working for my phone? Do I need an advanced version?

6.0.4.7 I found in a linked thread from -> this CM11 article. There was said I need 6.0.4.6 or above, the linked thread was 6.0.4.5! So I scrolled thru 50 pages of thread to find the latest - it was 6.0.4.7.

I did find two gapps packages too, no one is working for me ...
One seems to be working, but after ending the initial screen of the assistent (after language selection) nothing appears and nothing works, no menu ... nothing. Is it the right version? How to know? Where to find another? Working with the CM11 I installed?

It's not easy. Or maybe only I am a stupid dummy.


But the help in this support is great!
Everyone gives useful answers, thats nice.
