I've seen many different people say to install it different ways:
-Just install the rom
-Install CM7, THEN install MIUI
-Install OTB kernel before, install it after.
To be honest, I am completely confused. I would love to run MIUI but can't due to not knowing how.
I am currently running UKB 2.1 with Clockwork 3.0.2 (Red) and EB04.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Generally people try to use the first method. If they get an error 7 they then try to install 7/4 build of cm7, and wipe data& caches, and then install miui.
Remember, once you get cm7 or miui installed ONLY use the recovery you get through the reboot menu. Do not use three button method.

Thanks! I took a nandroid just in case obviously but I'm not sure how useful that will be since I'm currently voodoo. Do I need to unvoodoo then nandroid, then flash? Or can I flash MIUI even though I am running voodoo?
Whatever state you are in when you make your nandroid, you need to be in when you restore. You definatley need to turn voodoo off before you try to install MIUI.
Disable it, boot normally, then reboot to recovery and start from there.
Alright, thank you. Here goes nothing. I'm about to try it and see what happens!
Do I just need to install the rom? Or do I install GAPPS after (say the one from the CM7 thread)?
GAPPS is included in MIUI rom, unlike CM7. I did not have to install GAPPS.

i am trying to root my phone for froyo and have done everything up to getting clockwork to install i tried odin no luck, i tried samsung flash update zip no luck any suggestions please. i was following instructions from jt's thread
Thanks
I've had trouble getting certain versions of clockwork to work on the initial flash. And using the Flash Clockwork option from the Clockwork app doesn't work intially for me in any version.
What version are you using?
Also, what version of OS are you running (DL09, EA28, etc.).
I believe adrynalyne mentioned this in one of his posts, but I read some of the new stock kernels don't allow CWM. If it detects this, it will overwrite the Recovery section and get rid of CWM.
If this is what's happening to you, once you install CWM, you have to turn on the phone and immediately go into recovery. You will need to install a custom kernel to allow CWM to stay on there.
Look in the development forum, and there's a thread in there that talks about this. It might just impact certain builds, though, so it might not be what you're seeing.
Yea you odin the cwm and then you load your rom when cwm boots up. Dont use rom manager as it can delete your cwm and you have to reodin it back

i install it exactly how the directions say but i keep having to restore in odin (and it takes a while idk why) but can anyone answer im trying to install cm7 version 20
u need to be on stock froyo before flashing cm7 with clockwork and remember in order for the cm7 to flash succesfully u need to wipe data, cache, and dalvik btw dont bother flashing build 20 because it have a bug that does not reconize ur sd card so u better off flashing the latest nightly
listen to kinz! sty the hell away from #20.
Easiest way to install cm7 is rom manager premium, easy as 1, 2,3,
I believe there is an error in the install directions as well. I could be wrong but I think you have to install cwm 3.x, although it says 2.x in the op. I have never been able to install cm7 the easy wayfollowing those instructions.

I flashed JTs nightly CM7 build number 14 yesterday, first time flashing CM7 and so I am just wondering if I did something wrong because I cannot get the android market. I followed the steps in the wiki found here but when I flash the cm_fascinatemtd_full-14.zip it powers the phone on directly, as in I go straight to my home screen and I never have gotten to flash GAPPS. So I have tried rebooting into CWM and then flashing GAPPS, installing it from ROM Manager and also reflashing CM7 from ROM Manager now I know there is a method in ROM manager but I need ROM manager PRemium to download CM7 nightlies. Is the easiest way to get the market and all subsequent GAPPS by going back to stock (ODIN to DL09 to ED05) then rooting and then buying ROM manager or did I miss something?
I have also tried sideloading the market but it never opens up, it shows a white screen then jumps to the most recent thing I had open
You should have setup screen (google sign in with android logo) when booting from CWM after flashing CM7 and gapps.
I would flash CM7 and gapp on CWM not on rom manager.(Wiping data/dalvik/cache)
Once you sign in for google account, you will be asked what google apps must be installed, and then market will be opened for installing the selected one.
I don't know exactly why, but once I missed that sign in chance (just skip), I haven't had any second chance anymore for installing gapps although I reflashed it again. Same as you've seen.

Boot into recovery via power button menu and select the gapps.zip and install and reboot

Are you sure you are booting into CWM via the Power Menu in CM7 and NOT by the 3 finger method??
This is very important, in order to get to the "right" CWM... Remember, once you are on CM7 or Vanilla GB, ONLY use the Power Menu option to go to CWM. (Or you can use ADB Reboot recovery too.)
Are you flashing CM7 AFTER you flash gapps? You should only flash gapps after you flash cm7, not the other way around. I second Neozen on making sure you're using the 'good' cwm.

Hi all,
I rooted my SGS2 (KE7) with CF-Root ages ago and haven't done much since then, aside from take regular backups.
Looking at the Cyanogenmod stuff, I fancy giving it a go. All the guides talk about using the kernel at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 .
Does anyone know if I can flash the cyanogenmod ROM using the recovery mode I have with CF-Root, or if I need to get use the kernel from the above patch first?
This morning I tried installing the kernel (from the CF-Root CWM), when my phone rebooted, the touchscreen worked on the unlock page but not once I unlocked (I use LauncherPro as my launcher). Rebooting into recovery mode didn't work (the phone just booted normally) so I reflashed CF-Root but still had the same problem however I could boot into recovery mode and restore this morning's backup.
Now, the phone boots (with the warning triangle, expected) but there is no response after I unlock for a minute or so. Setting the stock launcher back works but I'm confused about why this should happen and what I should do next.
Does anyone know why my non-stock launcher is now being non-responsive for the first minute after boot / what I can do to get it back?
Am I able to install cyanogen with CF-root, or do I need to use the kernel in the above link? and if so, do I need to do anything other than just flash and if not why didn't the phone boot into recovery when I tried it earlier?
Any suggestions gratefully received!

The cf-root kernel is all you need to install cm7.

This is correct. However, after you install the cm7 .zip the first time, it will have only installed the kernel for cyanogen mod. So you will then need to boot back into recovery with 3 button mode and run the zip install again from there. You will then have CM7.

Don't quite understand this. I've got the cm_galaxys2_full-39.zip (100MB), I was going to put this on the SD card, boot into recovery mode and install from there. Are you saying I need to do this same process twice? (and if so, why does it only install the kernel the first time when it is the complete zip file?)
Cheers,

CF-root => Cyanogen mod
Hello everybody,
There are a few threads that discuss this question, but they all draw a different conclusion.
This one for instance : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1367933 (or if the link is broken, search for : How can i use cf-root kernel for cm7?).
In the thread above they claim that CF-root is not compatible with CM7, however in this very thread there is said that when installing the .zip file twice, it should work just fine. As i'd like to install CM7 on my CF-rooted S2, i have to know for sure:
Is there a way to install CM7 on a CF-rooted device?
Many thanks
Rom manager doesnt work with cf root, so to flash cm7 download the zip, boot into recovery, and flash the zip twice, and it will work.
Make sure you wipe data and cache, and take backups before you do.

Ok, i'll give it a go .
Thanks for the quick response, it is much appreciated!
I have an S4 with CM10.2 which was done through the CM installer.
Unlike traditional rooting, cyanogen installer roots and installs the cm Rom in a few clicks automatically.
This new method leads me to believe that I must unroot to stock and root manually in order to use a different ROM.?
Or can I go ahead and download a rom, put it in the sd card, boot into the thing, and flash the ROM?
I'm trying to flash foxhound ROM.
Need an answer guys, it's not on Google.
Bumping this.
I don't have an s4 nor have I ever used a oneclickrootmeapp but to my understanding on how the cyanogen installer works is that it flashes clockwork recovery and cyanogenmod + kernel to your device
So I would say 99% sure that no you don't need to do anything special here, steps I would take
Download ROM of choice + gapps or any extras needed
Check md4sums for match
Put on SD
Boot to recovery
Do a nandroid backup
Wipe everything but SD
Flash ROM and whatever else needed
Reboot
And all should be just fine
