Hi,
I'm started to read about roms and Glossary's
Currently now I'm running Trigger 3.2 that based on FROYO.
I.
As far as I understand (and correct me if I wrong) if I want to switch to another ROM (for ex. Project V) (NOT CM7 based rom) all I need to do is:
1. Copy the rom I want to phone (internal \ sd)
2. Ti backup
3. Full backup from CWR
4. wipe data\factory reset
5. wipe cache partition
6. wipe delvik cache
7. Install Zip from SDCard
Is this method cover ALL 2.2 \ 2.2.1 based roms?
II.
Is buying JIG from Ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/Samsung-Galaxy-...0497761183?pt=Cell_Phones&hash=item20b651b39f) is recommended (Just to be on the "safe" side)
III.
If I want to try 2.3.X based rom...:
A. If I already moved to any of 2.3.X based rom the steps are exactly like in (I.)
B. If I came from 2.3 based:
1. flash with odin to stock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1047087)
2. install GB Bootloader (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1117990)
3. boot into CWR and continue like in (I.)
IV.
About CWR - I know that this is a part of Rom Manager, and it have versions too , BUT after\before I flash new rom (2.2-2.3.X) is it recommended to install\upgrade to the lasted version and make "Flash Clockmod Recovery" (all roms came with any version of CWR)
Is those 4 Q\A are correct? (special I\II\IV)
Thanks.
Can someone help and direct me?
Thanks,.
for the 2.2 roms yes u are right, thats a very good step list!
As fo gingerbread i use cm7 so my instructions are different but ill tell u how i install cm7.
Odin to stock
Then root with eclair method of installing update package, recovery will turn from blue to green.
GEt rom manager premium as its the easiest way to do cm7.
Then go into Rom manager premium flash clockwork recovery and choose vibrantMtd and choose 3X NOT 2x. Then go to download roms and choose cm7 nightlies.
For ur very first cm7 nightlie always choose all three wipe data, wipe dalvik and backup rom!
when u update ur cm7 nightlie again u only have to wipe dalvik and backup rom.
Hope that helps
what about flashing from say miui to a jvp based rom? i know they are both gingerbread roms but miui has a cm7 base so im not sure of any extra steps i need to take in order to flash

I'm currently using this this ROM and would like to switch to this ROM. using xRecovery 0.3, but I do not know the first step. Do I have to go back to the generic x10 ROM or can I just factory reset in xRecovery and use another ROM?
Also, how do I update to the recently released xRecovery 1.0? is there an easy "Push bewton to update" thing?
Please tell me if I need to give any more information. Thank you.
no you don't have to go to generic X10 rom, just follow the steps in the rom's own thread:
Fresh Install: (aka coming from another rom or going from A to B or C)
Prerequisite - If you would like to retain your current apps, I suggest backing them up and restoring them using this method
1. In xrecovery, perform a full back up
2. In xrecovery, factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, wipe battery stats
3. In xrecovery, install custom zip and choose wpx10.zip
4. When finished, reboot
5. DO NOT RESTORE DATA IN XRECOVERY!!
enjoy
it's a fresh install so backup your contacts, sms & apps before flashing
about updating your xrecovery to version 1.0.0 I suggest you wait a bit because it's in its early stages & still not working on all custom roms, you must wait for the cookers to release compatible versions

And if I were to return to the current ROM i'm using, do I have to install xRecovery again? The thread didn't say it comes with xRecovery, so I'm a bit worried.

All of custom roms come with xrecovery so I think this one shouldn't be an exception, but just to double check in your pc go to the zip file of the rom & take a look at system/bin do you see xrecovery.tar & xrecovery.apk or something like that?
Hello iam unable to go into cwr 3.0 to flash cm7 , I tried few methods with rom manager ( i.e flashing a file then looking for cwr 3.0 in rom manager/ all cwm recoveries but no luck ) is there any direct update.zip for cwr 3? please help
Thanks
Is your problem that you don't have the clockwork recovery console loading vs the standard one?
What are you flashing from? 2.1, 2.2?
Either I'm misunderstanding or your question is a little vague or missing details, not meant rudely of course.
He is trying to flash CM7.
Dude, you do not need CWM 3 to flash CM7, you need to do this:
1.Make sure you're running a Eclair/Froyo Firmware (2.1 or 2.2) and Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders!
2.Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.
3.Do a Nandroid backup!
4.WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
5.Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery
6.Optionally install the Google Addon (through ROMManager is easiest)

You can do it with CWM 2, just put the rom on the root of the sd card, wipe everything and flash.
go into Rom manager premium and choose flash clockwork. Then choose Vibrantmtd, then choose 3X NOT 2X and bam ur done! u have 3x clockwork now and now download cm7 rom. On ur very cm7 nightlie always wipe data and wipe dalvik and backup rom. When u update ur second rom u will only have to wipe dalvik and backup rom. Dont forget gapps!
Guys thanks for ur replies, I am on cm7 but iam unable to install other gingerbread roms , as I watch lot of videos iam missing the Samsung player on cm7, so wanted some leaked gingerbread Samsung custom roms n they need CWR 3. I will be going back to stock 2.1 then root n install rom manager , now how to get clockworkmod 3? Thanks
follow my above post!
I know a while back when i installed cm7 on my vibrant i had to do a lot of steps with clrad and flashing kernels one at a time... if i install with "rom manager" do i need to do any other step? does it change the kernel and everything for me already???
I realize you have only 30 posts, but you really need to read more...
that is true u do need to read more but Rom manager PRemium is really easy to install cm7. Flash clockwork-pick vibrantmtd and then 3x NOT 2x. Then go to download and pick cm7 and then download latest nightlie. If its ur first cm7 nightlie choose all three, wipe data, wipe dalvic and backup rom but on ur second nightlie all u neeed to do is wipe dalvik and backup rom. Dont forget to select install gapps
Ok I want cm7 on my phone. I downloaded the latest nightly which is 39. From my understanding I have to odin back to stock jfd and reroot and install clockwork recovery. Then I wipe and stuff then flash. My question is does the zip have the kernal in it? And when do I flash the google add on zip?
You are INCORRECT about the install procedure.
It is really easy to install it now.
1. Make sure you have root.
2. Go onto Market and get ROM Manager Premium, select Vibrant MTD and install the latest nightly straight from the app (or download the latest nightly like you did and follow step 3)
3. Reboot into recovery (Clockwork) and install from there. Make sure to check Factory Wipe, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik before you install it.
4. Install Google Apps (download is in the CM7 topic). Flash through Clockwork like you did CM7.
You do not need to go to ODIN for any of these. As always, MAKE A NANDROID backup in case you want to go back.
As for your question, the CM7 package now DOES contain a kernel. You don't need to do anything additional to make it work. Just flash like you would a normal ROM.
Ok well im currently running phiremod and I wanted a clean install. So that's y I was gonna odin to stock and then flash cm7. Thanks for the quick reply by the way
pick 3x not 2 x for cm7!
What do u mean 3x? And when I odin back to stop do I check repartition?
if u install clockwork for cm7 u pick 3x not 2x in rom manager premium.
I don't have the premium one. How do I do this from the free one? Or is there a different way of flashing it without rom manager premium?
Just install as u would any other rom, make sure u wipe data and wipe dalvik

Need help with cm7? Pm me I can try to help
I just came from owning a vibrant (original galaxy s) and i've read multiple rom development threads but was surprised to see that there weren't any precautions listed when flashing a rom. i remember when we flashed roms on the vibrant, we had to:
- flash back to stock between roms
- wait at least 10 minutes after the roms were flashed for the dalvik cache to be rebuilt
- something else im forgetting at the moment (sorry it's almost 4 in the morning here).
do we not have to do this anymore with the sgs 2? is it ok to flash a gingerbread rom over cm7 and start using the phone right away after flashing? Thanks.
I follow my own procedure when I flash new ROMs, most are unnecessary, but I like keeping my phone clean of old stuff.
*IN CUSTOM ROM*
1. Wipe Data
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik
4. Flash Stock ROM
*STOCK ROM*
5. Install ROM manager from Market
6. Flash CWM Recovery
7. Place .zip of a Custom Rom in internal SD memory
8. Reboot to Recovery
*PROCEDURE*
9. Wipe Data
10. Wipe Cache
11. Wipe Dalvik
12. For CM7.1, flash ROM TWICE, since it uses a new CWM Recovery. For a normal ROM, I install them twice too, just to be sure.
