[Q] Boot loop after installing Gapps

[stanix.de]

Hey,
I'm quite new here, maybe there's an easy solution to that, but I don't know what to do.
I've flashed the CyanogenMod 10 on my HTC Sensation and everything works fine, but as soon as I flash Gapps from the CWM the device enters a boot loop bringing me back to the CWM after rebooting.
J've just tried the newest CM10 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1782009) and the problem is still the same.

Thank you!
Stan.

Hi,

Are you s-on/off?
Did you flash the ROM and Gapps at the same time?

I'm S-OFF. Yes, I flashed at the same time, first the ROM, then the Gapps

Hi,

Then,there is no reason why it should not work.
I would download ROM and Gapps again,place on the sd card,check md5 checksum.
Format all partitions (except sd card),then,install both again.

Just a question before I start deleting everything - is it possible that this has something to do with the CID number? I have no idea what it is, but I remember that I had to change it once (now it's set to 11111111)

Problem solved by flashing a new recovery image (CWM Touch 5.8.0.9)
Thanks!

FIX for bootloop after installing GApps

So, here is a fix, follow my steps:

1. DO NOT USE CWM Recovery OR PhilzTouch Recovery, because you will have bootloop with them OR flashing GApps will fail, so u need to use TWRP
2. Copy CM13 ROM to your sdcard1 (extSDCard) and GApps (nano package from opengapps.com, ARM, 6.0)
3. I think it doesn't matter if you have already CM13 ROM or firmware (correct me if it matters), so just do factory reset, clear cache and dalvik cache
4. After that, flash CM13 and GApps at same time (you have option to choose more ZIPs, 1st ROM, 2nd GApps)
5. After that, you will have button "clear cache", click on it
6. Then Reboot your phone

That's it, I've done this on my i9300, I had already installed CM13 and GApps with CWM Recovery (with bootloop) after that I've done these steps..
Sorry for bad English..
Hope this helps...

I have done that, and it works, but I think the gapps install somehow corrupted my data, because after my phone didn't boot I backed up data just in case, and doing this it boots, but when I restore data it doesn't. do you have any ideas?
