Hi, I just installed CM11 on my Samsung S2 and then I was going to install the google apps package from here but I keep getting an error saying theres an error in the file then (status 6). I tried downloading multiple versions of the file on the first page but none worked, all the same error. What can I do? I have CWM 6.0.4.7
FAQ #1: I'm getting a 'Status Error 6' when I try and install these GApps with CWM. What can I do to fix it?
It likely means you're using CWM v6.0.4.7 Recovery, which is NOT compatible with any of our GApps packages. If you update your recovery to a newer version of CWM (older versions should also work fine), you will be able to successfully install any of our GApps packages.
The problem is due to CWM v6.0.4.7 overwriting the installation script, thereby making it impossible for the installer to do its work. Thankfully, CWM realized the error in doing this and fixed the issue in newer versions. This 'bug' is only found in CWM v6.0.4.7, so even an older version should work, although upgrading your Recovery would be preferable to downgrading.
Also, since CWM is no longer being updated by its original developer (ClockWordMod), it is highly recommended to change to an actively supported Recovery, such as TWRP (TeamWin Recovery Project)
