- In step 1 use vzw eb01 instead of dl09
- No need for step 2 just flash eb01 and reboot fully
-In step 3 pull batt and odin cwr 3-30 fix all (instead of jts blue one) and immediately do step 4...
-do step 4 the same as you did..wipe data/cache/delvik
-install cm7 build date 7/4 and reboot
That will get you running on cm7...from there you can install mtd kernel of choice (if you want something different then the one thats comes with, it) gapps, and/or the newest cm7 build..do not wipe here to go to the newest build but make sure you only use the recovery that came with cm7 by accessing it via the power button menu, or terminal emulator...reboot recovery...no three finger booting recovery from here out.the cm7 recovery will also be blue..you only odin the 3_30 fix all to get the cm7 build on your phone do after that first time seeing red recovery after you're on cm7 it will be blue from there on.

well apparently, there seems to be no links to the earlier versions of cm7 and the only thing is the latest cm7 with blue recovery from jt's site can..... i really want to try CM7 geez im missing out...
You can just install the latest CM7 following the same steps the previous poster gave you. No need to install 7/4. Install 7/17 then 7/18 update.

When you odin, did you tick the re-partition box? Also you need to use one of the tar balls in the sticky about moving from cm7 to another rom. I know you're not going from cm7 but the tar balls still apply to this situation.

I also had problems installing cm7 at first so what I did was installed latest miui.us build first which gave me blue cwm and converted all my files. Then flashed cm7 with no probs. This worked for me.
Sent from my I500 using XDA App
well tell me the instructions not just say "install miui" obviously i dont know how to do give me the steps!
Sorry, I had stock 2.2 eb01 (edo3/4 should work) to start. Then I used odin and flashed cwm-all (2.x.x or something) / three button boot to get to recovery/ wipe data/cache/flash super user zip/reboot/power off and back to odin/flash cwm-all again/three button boot/wipe data/cache/dalvik/flash latest miui . At this point it should reboot (cyanogen logo) then back to recovery and automatically install/reboot recovery/flash cm7 11.1. But like I said this worked for me, for some reason miui installed perfect like any other rom and not cm7. Sorry if this doesn't help.

i just got my phone running ED01 today and it unrooted my phone. i rerooted it and all that jazz but my question is this...
i can't reboot into cwm recovery?
it just reboots me back into stock recovery.
do i download the latest cwm, rename it to update.zip (not update.zip.zip) and problem solved?
Put a new kernel on your sd card. As soon as you finish rooting, boot immediately into cwr and flash the kernel. If you let the phone boot before you do this, the stock kernel overwrites the recovery.
This happened to me earlier today and had me pulling my hair out. Nemesis2all had the answer.
yes! YES! that was just what i needed.
thank.you.
Ughh. I am having a very similar problem and I have been trying to solve it for the past 4 hours with no luck. Could you please tell me what you did to resolve this?
I was on SC 2.9 with JT's TW voodoo kernel. I decided to go back to stock and start from scratch by flashing the DI01 all in one Odin package in Odin. (I disabled voodoo before doing this). Everything went smooth as butter. I then got the vzw prompt to OTA Froyo. I downloaded and installed it just fine. I then re-rooted. Now I am having a hard time trying to get CWM to flash/install. I flashed 'cwm-recovery-all' in odin. Odin says it was successful and reboots my phone. When I try to boot into recovery, it goes to the blue android 2e screen. I go to 'apply update.zip and thats when I keep getting errors.
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature

First, grab a TW kernel, for example JT's TW voodoo kernel and place it on ur SD card. Next remove battery and enter download mode so u can Odin CWR. Once it's done u should see that it succeeded flashing CWR in Odin. Next reinstall battery and enter recovery mode by holding down both volume buttons and power button. Once u see the samsung logo, release and it should enter red CWR. Then flash the TW kernel and reboot. U should be golden. There's no update.zip file to worry about.
As mentioned on the previous post, the stock kernel overwrites CWR and defaults back to stock blue recovery. Good Luck...

I would re download the zip file...using jt's recovery you shouldn't have a problem...you could just have a bad download...it's happens to me more then once...not on this rom but a bad download is not that uncommon that is why some people put hash check sums on there files so you can make sure of a good download prior to flashing
re download and try again with the same recovery...if that doesn't help I made it to cm7 twice with the purple times infinity cwm..both times without a hitch
I'm not sure if this info will help I'm just relaying what worked for me.

i used the eb01 package. after i got cm7 v5 on when i try and flash miui i get a cant open /cache error when i try and wipe.
Did you go to eb01 then straight to cm7? If so which cwm did you use and if you didn't go straight there what rom did you flash in between?..maybe you should try atlas 2.2 with eb01 and boot fully, then odin cwm and flash com rom 2.0 then reboot fully, then reboot cwm wipe everything then try to go to cm7 or miui that's what worked for me to get to cm7 build 7, afterwords I just wiped cache and dalvik and flashed build 8...no issues for me.

I will try that now. i used Jts patched cwm for cm7
Edit: I still get eh same BML/MTD_Assert error
this is driving em crazy
Allright, so there I was, running a rather stable Comm Rom 2.0 Voodoo Rom with the ED10 Kernel/Radio, and then I saw the thread on the OMFGB GB release, that I, of course, just HAD to have...
So, my first mistake was being impatient and not being able to find any installation notes, and pretending that I knew what I was doing by installing the rom via CWM mod.
Here's the rub, for some reason, whenever I did the 3 finger salute, it would pull a RED CWM that went orange when I applied update.zip ... because if I tried to install rom from sd card with the initial CWM boot, it wouldn't install anything, it would just error out unless I applied update.zip. After selecting apply update from zip, it would boot the orange CWM and allow me to install whatever I wanted...
So after applying the OMFGB rom, it showed the Fascinate/ Cyanogenmod 7 bootscreen, then went to boot loop. I panicked, pulled the battery, then backed up everything to my computer, and formatted the sd card in FAT32 with Windows 7 64 bit...
Shortly thereafter, I was using ODIN and the original "return to stock" files, and ended up getting into the stock OS.
Now I never show 3G or even 1x, and never pull data at all... when I go to place calls, it says that verizon cannot authenticate my phone... when I activate, it reboots and says everything was successful, but was noticeably a faster process than standard activation. Upon reboot, nothing improves... the os is there, everything shows that everything is fine, yet I am still not able to place calls...
Here is where it gets weird... My wife called me today, and the call came through... I received text messages, but still couldn't make calls... My bill is zeroed out, I'm not locked out that I know of, and I just want my phone working again...
Running out of ideas. I have flashed ED01 DL01 and even reapplied the stock .PIT in odin... I am going to try heimdall while I wait for help from here, but any quick help would be GREATLY appreciated...
I believe the issue is you need to convert your system to mtd before flashing omfgb...some one correct me if I'm wrong though as I don't want to spread false info.
but Try installing jt's 0704 cm7 build following his instructions, then install his 0713 build (possible unnecessary step but it worked for me), then flash omfgb. You will most likely have to flash jt's fixed cwm to subsequently flash his cm7 as I had to since I was coming from a stock restore. And now I'm running a blazing fast omfgb...I was able to restore all my apps and data in half the time it took on com rom...good luck let me know how it goes

LET IT BOOT FULLY
2) flash the CWM in the OP of CM7
3) Do all Wipes then Flash CM7 0704
let boot fully
USE the Shutdown menu to get to orangeCWM
4) Do all Wipes then flash CM& 0713

5)Flash OMFGB
pull battery & 3 finger salute to redCWM
6) Do all Wipes then re-Flash CM7 0704

Alright the issue is resolved, my main concern was whether or not I could use my phone for phone calls... after finally mustering up the guts to call Verizon, it turned out that the main problem in which I was experiencing was due to some form of typical midnight updates that big red does... apparently, my phone, missed some form of update that ended up de-authorizing my phone, but Verizon was able to help out, even at this late hour.
On the good note, everything went through just fine as far as flashing cm7... I just seem a bit conflicted with which rom is best. I guess its just a matter of personal preference, really. So far I prefer jt's rom just fine, but I might be switching back and forth between jt's and omfgb...
Thanks again for all the help folks, I appreciate it more than you could know.

Not sure that I totally understand as to why I need to flash cm7 0713, then omfgb, then reflash cm7 0704... seems a bit redundant.

Because omfgb apparently doesn't convert to mtd but cyan does, so you have to flash cm first

yup, that was your mistake. prior to flashing omfgb, you need to be on jt's cm7.
I'm too lazy to read all the posts but try flashing cm7 via cwm4. then, Odin back to stock using the right files and configurations. there's a sticky in the development section.
what is the best way to install the nightlies now? i have tried the fool proof tutorial and it never seems to install properly, just keeps taking me back into cwm. can i just flash nightly 62 from cmw 2.x? whats the deal?
When running CM7 (or any 2.2/2.1 rom), the easiest way is make sure you can get into cwm by hand. If you can, then dl the latest nightly (you can still do this using rom manager premium), make sure toy have gapps, reboot into recovery, and flash by hand.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Once I have cm7 on the phone, I download the new nightly and run cmw then select install rom and point to the new file. I leave the check for wipe cache and it keeps my info. It even works with the glitch kernel.

I can't seem to get CM7 installed. This is the process that I am following:

2. ODIN CWM 4.0.1.0 (The blue one)
3. Boot into recovery
4. Install CM7 from zip on SD card
Every time I do that, it shuts down, and reboots back into recovery, and says waiting for SD card and does a countdown. Once it goes to 0, it starts over again.
Any ideas?

Make sure you are also using the pit file with eb01...I'm sure you were but just saying....that said, do all the steps you posted exactly but use the 3-30 fix all recovery, make sure you wipe everything and flash cm7..after words you can power button menu to your new blue recovery and flash the glitch kernel if you want or any other kernel, radio, or gapps zip files

Every time CM7 boots, it boots into safe mode. At the loading screen it does a long vibrate.
I finally gave up because it refused to mount my sd card in cwm4...couldn't install gapps or any other mtd rom.

A few things I'm not clear about before jumping to a CM7.
Do you need to use the EC09 modem for a gingerbread rom?
Does it matter what CWM you use to get from ComRom to CM7? (need to odin the CWM 4 first?)

The ec09 radio is not necessary...but I've had the best results with it.
Jt has the 4x.x.x recovery in the cm7 o.p. But that is if you are having trouble getting cm7 to take.
I've used the otb 3.x.x.x, and times infinity's 3x.x.x, with no problem but I know some folks have had issues...I recommend the 3-30 fix all because it supports amend and edify scripting so it seems to work better, for me at least.
Other than that it really is the same way of flash any other rom, wipe everything and flash. its going from cm7/miui/to any other rom because of the different formats...cm7/miui/(mtd)
To go from an mtd build back to a non mtd build you must flash an official verizon build with the atlas 2.2pit file to properly repartition your files.
Also once on cm7...no more three finger boot...power button menu...reboot recovery, or
Terminal emulator..reboot recovery only, it will be the blue 4.x.x.x.
once your on cm7 you only use that recovery to flash kernels and zip files.

I made it to CM7 after I started fresh with the offical ED05 + Pit file. After CM7 was installed, the cwm that came with CM7 refused to mount my sd card.
At one point while in CM7, it told me my sd card was damaged so I wiped it (everything was backed up)
I'm back on ComRom 2.1 and it's working fine.
Forgot my other question: do you need new drivers after cm7, does your computer see it as a new device?
Yes, (correct me if I'm wrong) I think they are the same ones used for the Nexus.

The build is from a nexus s, so you may need the drivers for the nexus,however I have never needed them...my pc still recognizes my phone...I don't think it actually says fascinate like it used to, but I can still move files with no problem and (more importantly) odin still recognizes my phone!
You may even need the samsung generic drivers but either way those aren't hard to find either.
As side note I'm using vista home edition, in case yet matters, a lot of complaints I've heard are from windows 7?!?...hope some of this helps

What version of the rom are people using? I've been following the wiki here and using the versions linked.... Still haven't had any luck.

I used the cwm and CM7 from JT's thread since he has mms working in that build...I had sd card problems in cmw (cannot mount sd card) and in the rom (damaged sd card) itself so idk what the problem is.
sd card works fine on ComRom.
