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

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
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
Hi,
Currently using latest firmware KI3 with root.
I'm able to use CWM, backup, install zips, everything.
However, if i install a ROM trough a ZIP, i get a boot loop.
Only way to get back the phone, it's to install via ODIN with latest KI3.
Even tried with Litening Rom, and got the boot loop.
Any ideas ?
I was very keen to return to CM7.
Tx in advance.
Did you exactly what's mentioned here?
Install via ClockworkMod (do not use ROMManager for initial install):
Make sure you're running a rooted device.
Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1118693)
Do a Nandroid backup!
WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition) - do it for real.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery.
Do not reboot! We mean it - do nothing except choose zip and continue next step (if you come back to us with permission issues in install, we will know you did not read the directions and will call you an idiot). If it just plain hangs, reboot directly back into ClockworkMod recovery and continue at the next step.
Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery, again (due to a bug in the install).
Reboot
Install the Google Addon through ROMManager which is easiest, but you can
download the gapps.zip and install via ClockworkMod recovery instead.

Did you try flashing a old stock ROM like KH3, root it then try from this base?
I went from Villain ROM 2.3.5 to CyanogenMOD without any problems.
It's essential that you flash CyanogenMOD !TWICE! in a row when you're coming from a stock ROM.
Thanks.
Gonna check, as soon as i'm @ 127.0.0.1
Same behaviour, back to boot loop.
Tanx anyway!
I had a similar problem so here goes my help.
Cf root kernel uses a modified version of CWM that isn't compatible with CM7 or something like that. So what I did was flash this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693. Get the kernel with CWM 5.x.y.z With that I got a compatible version of CWM and from there I flashed CM7. It is important that you do a full wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format \system, everything so you don't get any trouble. THen you flash the CM7 zip file, when tha t is done, flash the zip again for a second time (don't reboot just do it after the first flash). After that reboot. That worked for me at least.
A tip: If you can't reboot your phone and you have no ROM zip file to flash via CWM you can mount usb storage from CWM for putting the ROM in sd card and flash with CWM. That way you don't have to use ODIN to recover.
Tanx Tomas.
Tried with CWM 5.x.y.z and upon "WIPE" always got an error for mounting partitions.
Could't mount CACHE, SDCARD .....
Tx anyway.
Back to ODIN, back to stock 2.3.5
PS : I have to get a JIG to reset ...
as i was searching the android dev section, i saw a 2.2 rom that caught my eye. its the Blue 2.2 Frankenstein-Fishmanmod Final. however im running Bionix 1.3.1 on a Bali kernel, can i just flash it over my rom? or i have to odin back to stock rom, then flash the new frankie-fishmanmod rom? i want to stay with 2.2's is i have given up on gb roms already.
You can just flash it. Odin to stock is cleaner

Use Titanium Backup to back up your files.

yup! after you have backed up all your apps and what not. in CWM i suggest you make a backup there too just in case you have a bad flash or just to have as a back up.
after that just flash like you normally would and then reinstall titanium backup and restore your apps! have fun!
thanks a lot sir. downloading.... ^_^
what would be the things that i have to wipe? still the same as any other rom?
1. factory reset
2. wipe data/cache
3. flash the file
4. cache partition
5. wipe dalvic

also try to backup your text messages with any app from market if you still need your sms
You can back up your texts and APNs in Titanium too.
