I can't seem to get CM7 installed. This is the process that I am following:
1. ODIN EB01, let boot, pull battery
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?
I decided to jump to CM7 tonight...Installed cwm4 for cm7...wiped data,cache,dalvik...stuck on reboot loop to mount SD card as well.

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

I followed the steps Here using the ED05 file, odin'ed the cwm4 for CM7, and then installed CM7.
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.
Going back to comrom 2.1
I'm using the original 16GB SD card. I cleared it out and even formatted it. I also used the PIT file everytime I Odin'd EB01...

did you try using the 3-30 fix all recovery?
I've gone back and fourth a few times and the 3-30 fix all recovery is the only one that works for me...the cwm4.x.x.x for some reason doesn't like my phone until I'm on a cm7 build.

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?)
Thanks

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

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.

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

this is what i would do:
1) Odin this it is an "Stock" ED01 DB/DO
http://www.multiupload.com/9JSTWA6Y6L
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
let boot fully
USE the Shutdown menu to get to orangeCWM
5)Flash OMFGB
pull battery & 3 finger salute to redCWM
6) Do all Wipes then re-Flash CM7 0704
reboot and bingo you are at OMFGB

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.
okay guys so i made this thread since it was getting too confusing and hard to track CLEAR INSTRUCTION on how to root from Rooted rom to cm7 or omfg roms!!
Basically this is what i did and STILL have iSSUE:
1.ODIN and atlas v.2.2pit (DL09 stock rom)
2. updated all OTA
3. pulled out battery and ODINed blue CM7 (latest one from jt's site)
4. did 3 method cmr and clear all data/wipe/davik
5. installed latest cm7 7/17
6. waited and seem like everything is perfect then it stops at cm7 logo with galaxy s sign and kept waiting and nothing HAPPENS anyone help???!!!
this is really pissing me off because I've been trying this several times now!!
ALSO for omfg i dont even know the instruction to get there anyone help it would be great!!!

- 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.

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.

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.

Ok so I ran Jt's vanilla gingerbread for about week and a half and even tho I loved what I saw the rom was to unstable for me. No fried sd card issues but recovery problems and bootlooping issues. So I odined back to stock ed05(full odin) and after flashing CWR v4 decided to go with powerwash debloated ed05. After and foreclosure issue I did a complete wipe and factory reset and flashed a recovery for the powerwash from the sd card (that I had made right after I had flashed the recovery thru odin) Here's the strange part, the recovery had an error and the phone went into boot up. The bootloop from the vanilla gingerbread rom came up (even tho odined over) and now is stuck in a bootloop again. The same as when I was on vanilla gingerbread. No biggie here as verizon is in the process of replaceing the phone just and F.Y.I. maybe help understand some of the issues with gingerbread. P.S. the bootloop starts as triangle with the android robot then right into the cyanogen logo then starts over.
Wait... You sent your borked phone back to Verizon?!

Yes sir. The more I think about it I'm wondering if maybe somehow something from gingerbread remaining on the sd card even tho I also reformatted when I went back to stock.

Yep. But I flashed it back to stock and did to OTA up date.
You flashed an mtd recovery than flashed a bml rom with mtd recovery. cwm4 should not have even been flashed if you had no intention of flashing an mtd rom.
good day.

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that. I Odined a full stock tar package with the stock recovery when I came off of VGB. Now on Powerwash CWR shows as v4.0.1.4 with a banana background. I don't see any mention of this in the Powerwashed OP. Any clue what's going on? I may try a full reflash tonight if I get the time. It will distract me from debating whether to go back to VGB.

Wish I knew. I odined the stock packages three times myself. Once my phone was reading only half of the sd card (nothing thru gallery had to use astro to view pictures) music was fine. So I reformatted the card and Odin the stock package just to be safe. Also I just a error status 7 message in recovery and then a bootlloop. So I odined back to stock using the package with pit file thinking maybe I goofed something. I flashed vgb again with no theme(just in case that was the problem) it ran great for a couple of days, then I pulled my sd card to load some wallpaper onto it from my ps3 and when I placed the card back in the phone same problem nothing could be viewed in gallery even tho phone showed card was present thru setting and under sd card and storage.. When I booted into recovery again I got status 7 error cant' mount recovery followed by the bootloop from hell. So using the odin package I odin back to stock and this time only flashed cwr v4 recovery (that's when I noticed the different logo) I did nothing else I was running debing,debloated Ed05 did a factory reset cause my contacts was dulipating bad from 171 to 829. As soon as I rebooted I got the cyanogen logo followed by the triangle with a "?" bootloop from hell. Not sure what happened again wish I knew

Sounds like that is the 0808 PBJ kernel.

That would be my guess about the banana, but I'm a bit confused by the CWM4. Does powerwashed routinely install that?

I would assume since the PBJ is the latest kernel out there for Froyo and TW. I wouldnt see why it wouldnt be included.
I can get into recovery and download mode, flash stock Rom with Odin and Heimdall to completion but phone never boots up completely. Nothing but boot loops.Goes between Vibrant screen and Galaxy S screen.I'm at my wits ends. I hope some one can suggest something.
What did you come from? CM7 / CM9 ICS?
Did you repartition with Odin?
More info please.
Originally phone had ICS 4.0.4 CM9 ICS and I tried to go back to stock.Big mistake.

I have flashed with Odin to stock 2.1 coming from an ICS rom a few times and never had a problem, so i don't think that's the issue. Maybe try flashing a stock kernel in recovery mode or you can use Odin for that too I believe. I'm still learning this stuff myself but it sounds like it's a kernel or bootloader issue to me. Just to be sure, are you absolutely certain you flashed a Tmobile vibrant package and not something meant for another company/phone? Sorry had to ask

Also coming from ICS to stock you MUST repartition the phone.
Managed to install a T959UVKA7 rom but now I can't mount sd card. It's greyed out and states to insert an SD card for mounting. I can erase sd card but it states sd card has been removed. And when I go Additional storage/mmt/emmc and mount sd card I get damaged sd card.I have 0.00B internal storage and mnt/emmc space is 1.86gb which is my external sd card. Almost looks like internal and external storage are reversed. What's up
I always recommend Odining to stock from CM7 as CM9's DM is, at least for me... non-existent. As for your SD card issue, you may want to Odin to stock again.
I agree. You should try to get to JFD and hit repartition. If you need it, the AIO Toolbox is in my signature to download. It has all JFD pit/tar files, Odin and will get you cleanly back to 2.1. Read toolbox's OP in the dev section for directions.
Did everything you suggested but I just end up in a boot loop. I have tried going back to stock many many times but never get out of the boot loop.That's why I installed CM7 from the external Sd card as it was the only way to get anything on the phone.

Have you tried flashing a kernel through recovery or Odin?

Wait you got a boot loop after using ODIN to restore?
Yep Please read original post above. No matter what I do I just get the boot loop thing. How do you just install a kernel through Odin? Haven't done that yet.Not sure how to do it or what kernel to use.

Easiest way to do it in my opinion is through recovery mode. Download a kernel that is compatible with your ROM, go delete cache partition and dalvik cache from the advanced menu then install from sd card just like you would a ROM. The kernel MUST be compatible with whatever ROM you are running. Check out the kernel bible thread for a list of kernels and what ROMS they work with. I personally never used Odin to flash a kernel but I believe the kernel bible tells you how
