Root HELP! no google apps!?

[bryanwells9]

my friend rooted his phone with unrevoked and then installed cyanogenmod 6, well the problem is that; 1 he forgot to backup the phone first, and 2 during the install cyanogen asked him if he wanted google apps (with the market included) and for some dumb reason he unchecked them.

so he is stuck with an incredible on cyanogen with no back up and no android market! what do i do from here? i have tried installing the "google apps" after and still no market.

is there any way to get the phone to recover from lets say ANOTHER incredible's back up that was put on an sd card?

thanks for the help,
bryan.

Just go back into recovery, wipe data/cache/davlik. Reflash CM and then flash google apps BEFORE rebooting. You should be good to go. Just an FYI that CM7 is available for the Inc and it's pretty sick. May want to check it out instead. Also, don't do the wipes/flashing through Rom Manager. Do it manually! http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/forum-132/announcement-5-cm7-nightlies/

So when i wipe the phone it just restarts with the cyanogen rom. I cant get back to the original rom.

I was under the impression you wanted a working CM with google apps (market)? If you want a stock ROM that can be done, you just have to be more specific

THIS is as close to stock as you're going to get without running the RUU and losing root. If you want to unroot and be stock, that can be done as well

correction to that, this is as close as you will get to stock with root:

I was looking for that, used to have it bookmarked on my old laptop, but I couldn't find it. I'm not sure what this guy is trying to do, but at least he has options now

You d/l the ROM and place it on root of sd card (not in any folder) and flash like any other ROM
