Hi
I think i have this all figured out but i am just wondering which CM7 file i should be using coming from stock 2.2 (with voodoo kernel). From what i have read i need to flash the initial file first then the nightly. Where can i find the initial file? Is this the file name "cm7-galaxys-initial-20110410.zip"
Thanks
Anyone???
i really want to give CM7 a shot but don't want to screw up my phone flashing the wrong type of ROM
Hey Guys, I'm in the same boat. The guide is a little outdated and some links are broken to the CM7website.. A new or updated guide would be muchos appreciated
Thanks
Check out this guide its the newest i've seen...i finally got a reponse there about this once i could post there...apparently the latest nightly will work but i haven't had a chance to try it yet

Hey guys. I would really love someone to shed some light on what's going on here.
My firmware version is 2.2.1
Baseband version is DL09
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
And build number is DL30
I'm running a super clean ROM I believe, but this week I would like to upgrade to the latest (fully stable) releases. I know there's a new modem and new kernels out. Can someone with experience point me in the right direction to get my phone up to the latest and greatest!
Thank you so much!
So I'm kinda new to the whole process, been hacking my fascinate for a month or two, but i'll share what i know, please anyone correct me if i'm wrong on any of this
*note* i assume as you say your an intermediate noob you should know how to flash kernels and roms with out any problems if not check out this tutorial:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/05/08/complete-guide-how-to-flash-a-custom-rom-to-your-android-phone-with-rom-manager-full-backup-restore/
As far as i can tell EB01 is the best kernel there is right now, most if not all of the CURRENT rom versions are at least using part of it, most are in conjunction with EB16 and EA15. so updating to that would be my first suggestion.
here is a voodoo version of EB01:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19137626/Android/eb01_voodoo.zip
next i have had good luck with Super Clean 2.9.1, here is some info about it:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=11900140#post11900140
as for finding a rom that fits your style and level the knoly way to know is to try them out. just make sure you backup a stable rom you know works before going on that adventure
good luck and i hope this helps
EDIT: go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897889. It will give you a more in depth explanation of everything you asked about and need/should know
Thanks for your reply man. EB01 seems to be the kernel for me. What about modem upgrading?
modem upgrading
a quote from the beginner's guide:
These updates also include a radio, which is the phone's programming that it uses to communicate with your cell service. Those are flashed via Odin, the same way you installed clockworkmod.
The Froyo EB01 update has it's own radio that needs to be flashed via Odin.
The version of your radio can also be verified in Settings > About Phone > "Baseband version"

my understanding is that when you flash the new EB01 release of Froyo it will upgrade that as well...i was looking for the original post here on xda but couldn't find it if i can find my file i will post it here for you to dl.
This is a very complete guide on how to get up to speed with EBO1.

It has links to kernals, radios (modems), and ROMS.
You may have to do some digging for things like red CWR and voodoo kernals. But this will take you step my step in updating your fascinate.
Hello
This is my first attempt at flashing a custom ROM on my phone i have a bit of experience flashing custom stuff from the PSP Scene but if anyone can offer a bit of advice on this I would appreciate it. I have poked around in the forums here and have seen a few guides for flashing a custom ROM on a Telus Fascinate but all of them seem to be slightly different and a few months old so the files referred to may or may not be out of date or the links are broken.
I currently have my phone rooted with the voodoo lag fix kernal running aand would like to install CM7
Ok so after all this long windedness here are my questions
1) the first step seems to be to install a non stock kernal can i us the voodoo kernal to install CM7 (i assume i have to turn off lag fix)?
2) Guides refer to installing the full version of the ROM first and then apply the update but the only files i seem to be able to find is the "nightlys" can i use the latest nightly when flashing?
If anyone has a latest and greatest guide and a working link to any of the files need it would be greatly appreciate
Thanks

Looked at this one previously since it was really the only one that includes having the voodoo kernal to start...my only question with it is which CM7 Rom to use. Can i just use the latest nightly coming from stock 2.2 or is there a Base CM7 that you have to start with then once thats installed upgrade to the latest nightly

I found this guide too (which seems to be newer) but i can't post there to the 10post rule
**First off let me apologize if this a double post, or if im posting in the wrong area, I tried looking around and xda does not have the "Samsung Prevail" in the listed devices for forum support. If there is an appropiate place for this post please move it there, thanks and sorry for the inconvience mods/admins.**
I'm hoping maybe someone can help me. I recently rooted my prevail and now looking to flash custom rom. I have rom manager all set up, got a custom boot ready, and backed up system to SD only problem is i dont know what custom rom will work with the prevail. I'm hoping there some way shape or form I can get cm7 running though since the prevail is still new it has not gotten offical cyanogen support. My prevail is running a froyo build so I was thinking maybe I can get a stable cm7 froyo build on here with the custom boot going. If I can't get cm7 I'll be happy with shabbymod on it. Any thoughts? Comments? Suggestions? or links will be greatly apprecaited. thanks. heres my phone specs if they will help:
Model Number: SPH-M820-BST
Android Ver. 2.2.2
Baseband Ver. S:M820.07 x.EE14
Kernel Ver. 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FROYO.EE14
Hardware Ver. M820.07
No answer for this yet? And why doesn't the forums have a section for this phone?
Hey,
I have recently flashed and installed a custom CM7 rom to my Galaxy 5 but i am not happy with the results and i wish to go back to Stock 2.2- i stupidly didnt create a backup, so can anyone point me in the right direction on how to get back to stock, i am completely new to this kind of stuff so please try and keep it simple!
Thanks
ok, what method did you use to flash this rom?
You may have to use a different way to flash back to 2.2.
This post : http://www.madteam.co/forum/development/samsung-galaxy-5(gt-i5500)-rom-archive/ : has all the roms for our phone, so if you scroll down, after the third black line, you will see Official Roms's.
Look under that and you will see different regions 2.2 roms.
If you need any help with the flashing, just ask here
Thanks a bunch.
I flashed my rom using Odin to install Clockworkmod v4 then installed CM7 vis Clockworkmod.
Il have a read of that thread now but im pretty new to this so i may need some help
Hi all,
it can be a very N00B question but this thread is a mess and I can not find things I really need.
I succesfully rooted and completely modified both HTC G1 and the new Galaxy Nexus, but now, a friend of mine has this LG P500 and im looking around trying to find all the necessary to root - recovery etc ..
now..
I will use SuperOneClick because it is a 2.3.3 Android FW.
I will Flash AmonRa recovery 3.06 found in a P500 Android development Thread, as flashable zip.
Im gonna use .35 kernel from Franco, 'cos Im using it on my GN and it works like a charm.
But, I cannot find a good rom!! is there anybody who can help me?
This phone now is:
kernel 2.6.35.10
android version 2.3.3
the only things I know
Thank u all!
you can use the kang version by adam. It is CyanogenMod 7.2.
http://www.mediafire.com/?p0di9g79ck80a0c
For the recovery, i will suggest you use ClockWorkMod. Download it from the market. The latest version is 5.0.0.6 and please be ensured to flash the 5.0.2.0 recovery version as the latest version is buggy.
I'm downloading it!! thank you
do you know if there is any new Radio ? I can't tell you which baseband this phone is using now btw, she cant find the "version" from "about phone"

If you before had stock gingerbread then you had the new baseband version. If not, you need to flash the new baseband as all new roms are now based on new baseband.
Follow this link for flashing new radio.
