DUMMIES, FOLLOW THIS STEPS TO INSTAL MIK_OS GINGERBREAD CYANOGENMOD 7 PORT:
FIRST OF ALL GO HERE AND READ MIK's POST and thank Mik for his work!!!!!!!!!!!!
READ THE CHANGELOGS AND THE KNOWN BUGS!!!!!
Let's suppose you have Froyo on your device and want to go Gingerbread:
- you need: root, custom recovery, and rom zip from here
- boot into recovery, go to backup/restore and do a backup. For your own privet safety, you could use TitaniumBackup before booting into recovery to backup your files and settings.
- while in custom recovery, go to wipe and perform all wipes. WIPE DATA AND CACHE IF YOU ARE UPGRADING FROM FROYO! Go to adb shell and make a /system wipe (mount /system in recovery; adb shell rm -rf /system/*), or copy this file on sd, and flash it via cusom recovery to automatically wipe your /system data
- after the wipe, put your rom on the sd card - get the beta2 here , and flash it from custom recovery.
- wait until it boots up and set the phone up. If you're stuck on LG logo it means you didn't performe the wipes corectly, mainly the system wipe.
- you will have no google apps after the install, so go here and get them, or manually download them from market
- you now have Mik_os unofficial CyanogenMod 7 2.3.3 on you phone. Install TitaniumBackup and perform a restore if you used this metod to backup your data as i described in the second step.
Now, if you have an older version of Mik's CM7:
-boot into recovery and flash the newer version just like that. It will update the one you have on your device, and no data will be lost.
GO AGAIN TO THE OFFICIAL DEV THREAD AND RE-READ THE BUGS AND CHANGELOGS. AND AGAIN... THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK!!!!!
If you have questions about Mik's port, go to the correct thread and ask them! This is not a developer thread, it is just for info, or for those of you who are new to xda and cannot post in dev threads.
AND AGAIN, THANK MIK FOR HIS WORK, AND BUY HIM A LOLLYPOP VIA PAYPAL.
I have tried your steps but could not install this ROM. It got stuck on the boot animation. An it wasn't CM7 animation. Tried few times but without any luck. Now i am back to my old rom. atleast i did not brick my phone but i will sure give it a another try
You are probabily stuck at the lg logo. You should try to wipe the system manually, by adb or flashing the zip I linked in the original post, in the third step. I had the same problem, but this solves it.

I wasn't stuck on LG Logo. I had Megatron installed, it went through LG logo, then got stuck Megatron's Android Logo. Seems the rom was never installed properly and i have tried few times.
I have wiped everything, i have flashed from the zip you provided, and also i re-partitioned the sd card but it never worked
Did you got any errors when flashing cyanogen zip? From what you said, I think you shoul rewipe everything, part the sd 0 swap, ext 2 to ext3 and ext3 to ext 4. Make sure that you have the check for signed option in custom recovery.

I have done all of the above, may be the zip file got corrupted. Anyway, i will try again this weekend. thanks
How did you do the system wipe? You flashed the zip for wipeing or did you do it from adb shell?
I have another friend that flashed the /system wipe tool, and forgot to flash the actuall rom zip file, and had the exact simptomes as you described.

I used custom recovery, nandroid back up, then re-partition the sd card. then wiped the card, then usb toggle to copy 2 zips on to sd card. flashed debug system just in case and then flashed mik's rom. I don't know where did it go wrong.
Would have been great if someone made a step by step video and put that on youtube
Have you wiped cache/dalvink cache/android secure and the rest from the wipe menu?

Yes, I think so. Don't worry about it for the moment. if it worked for you, it will work for me too. I may have missed something that i can't remember. I will give it a try again this weekend
Although if you could give me the Partition requirements. I know the swap should be zero. But how much should i use for ext2?
Ext partiton can be how big you want, it's where a2sd puts the files and other cache info. I use 512 mb, and works flawless.
I will make a video guide in the morning, and link it in the original post.

Do I need to install that new recovery? Or is the one you posted a link to OK?
There is a new recovery that's been in the development forum for a few weeks that says it's for gingerbread.

The link i posted goes to another thread that explains some basic stuff. Including the recovery. But i didn't find any problems using different versions of custom recovery. So go for which one you like more, as long as it can backup your system
1. go in recovery mode
2. wipe everything
3. then go to others
4. mount/system
5. flash the system zip
6. flash the rom zip
7. reboot
it worked for me. hope it helps
Ruwin buddy, you will be happy to know that i am using Mik's rom. I still don't know what went wrong last time. If some thing that i had done differently, that would not upgrading ext3 to ext4.
Thanks buddy for the support and the tips
Thank you very much!!! Will try this today.
Is it possible to get the SMS widget back? The simple one from Market sucks...
Do I need to partition the SD-card?? The directions made no mention of this.
how to enable 3G mode only in this rom ?
Good work, very useful.
I currently have cwm .8 and vegan 5.1.1 running without issue and backed up.
I have tried several different gingerbread roms and all of them get stuck on the static image screen before the boot animation.
I have made sure to wipe boot, system, data, dalvik, and cache as well as running Calkulin's Format.zip all prior to rebooting. I also have tried installing the ROMs with or without the Google apps addition. All with the same results.
Internal SDcard partitioned to 2048/0
Is there anything else I can try?
Are you sure they are all hanging at the boot screen? Most of the roms first boot takes a awhile for the cache to get filled with the data it needs to perform.
After the first few boots everything usually goes smooth from then on.

I am a patient fellow. I waited 20min at minimum for each ROM and none have ever made it to the animated boot screen.
I'm having the same issue with mine.. vegantab 5.1 works fine..
none of the gingerbread based roms get passed the viewsonic logo for me.
Same problem here.
All of the GB roms freeze at the android screen.
I have tried everything, I am a serial flasher on my D1 and on the gtab with the froyo builds and consider myself very familiar with the process and it still confuses me...
These are all new gTabs right? Have any of you repartitioned the internal sdcard yet? That option is in CWM recovery. There is a thread on it somewhere too. Basically it wipes the /SDCARD space and repartitions it. The FAQ thread has information on partition sizes too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=874258

I have been using the highly recommended 2048/0 as I did not see any details in the threads for the GB ROMs detailing otherwise. Sorry I forgot to mention that in my OP.
-edit-
Repartitioned to 2048/0 and also tried 4096/256. Issue persists

still a 2.2 ROM
Some progress! Following these steps will erase EVERYTHING from your device including the internal SD. Backup everything before you start.
After doing another restore to stock using nvflash
wipe everything via cwm (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik)
repartition sd to 4096/256
copy vegan ginger edition over to internal sd
it installed and booted up!
-edit-
and then I tried to install gapps and it won't boot again
Ran out of battery power to fully test but finally got it to boot after gapps install. Here are the steps I had to take:
wipe everything via cwm (boot, system, data, cache, dalvik)
repartition sd to 4096/256
Restore to stock using nvflash
did not let it boot into stock
reinstall .8 cwm from external sdcard
in cwm copy vegan ginger edition.zip and gapps.zip over to internal sd
Installed ROM then gapps
reboot
(note: after returning to stock I did not wipe anything with cwm)

Good work, quick question, you said you reinstalled cwm from external sdcard, does that mean you used the "cwmod_microsd.zip" from the "[STICKY][GUIDE] Install ClockworkMod, a ROM, Flash Player, and the Market Fix" post?
I have always used the internal one and was wondering if that made a difference.

Yes that should be the same file. Looks like it was recently renamed as I had it labeled external rather than microsd. It isn't really a different cwm I used it so I wouldn't have to let the stock OS boot up and I kept it on the external sdcard so when I repartitioned the internal card I wouldn't loose it. I reloaded to stock many, many, many times trying to get this to work.
I'm currently using the experimental VEGAN Ginger Edition. It has some nice features but the videos for Dungeon Defenders don't play, and the keyboard is a little strange.

This work for anyone else? These Woot batches are introducing some issues.
I've had my tablet since early Feb. and I had issues with GB roms when I started trying them too. I found that the steps that worked best for me were pretty much the same as above. Mine are assuming that the tab is coming from something other than stock...
Wipe data,cache,dalvik and Battery Stats... (not sure the battery stats wipe matters)
NV Flash back to stock
Load CWM .08
Repeat Wipe
Load GB Rom
Repeat Wipe
Load rom devs recommended gapps version
Reboot
This USUALLY results in success. I still have mixed results getting gapps installed with some GB roms...once in a while I have to change up the steps and reboot PRIOR to gapps.
I've only had to repartition a few times, but the 2/0 option is the norm for me...and I usually only have to do this after I've made a big mistake, or things start to act "off" with the tablet.....
I think I read in one of the posts over on the dev side that most of the roms are written with the stock bootloader in mind and that it's just good policy to learn NVFlash and use it if you have any issues going from one rom to another.
I've been spending A LOT of time on this site since I got my gtab, too much probably. Usually, about 6 pages into a rom post, the answers to whatever issues we have with install are answered. It seems like mostly page 1 - 4 are people excited to flash...or saying thanks... pages 4 to like 10 are full of the answers to the questions "Why can't, Why didn't, how come..."...and then 10 - 10000 are just plain fun to read. ;-)
Good luck, this Tab is a ton of fon. I was super excited when the woot sale went down. I figure if even 4 or 5 more programmer types ordered one....that could mean 4 or 5 new roms for us to play with!

What process did you follow is it the same as tdg2100
Edit: I follow the same process as TDG2100 and it works w00t!! I think this should be included in a sticky somewhere people are going to struggle with this if they don't know how to get out of it.
Also question. Does this mean EVERY ginger ROM I have to flash has to go back via the NVFlash ROM route or can I just upgrade? Just curious, though at this point CM7 w/TT I doubt I'll be changing soon.

Worked for me also.
Matt
I had the same issue and I fixed it by:
1) Boot to clockwork
2) Go to mounts and storage and click "format system"
3) Then wipe data/factory reset
4) After that clear the cache
5) Then go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache
6) Install cm7
7) Install gapps
8) Reboot
Now everything is working for me.
Hi XDA !
I also am stuck at the ViewSonic Birds window - I know how to install CWM etc but I cannot get this to be recognized on a PC via USB. Its almost like the USB isnt started on the GTablet. How do I reboot this thing? Holding down the Power and + button has no effect...
Hi,
I'm current on Project-V, rooted, with "ClockWorldMod Recovery V2.5.1.3 - Voodoo Lagfix (ALL IN RED)"
I want to upgrade to:
[ROM][AOSP][2.3.5] NoFrills-AOSP
OR
[ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Vibrant :: V7.1.0.1
until today I Just put the new ROM (2.2) on my sd card and make:
wipe cache partition
wipe data \ factory reset
wipe dalvik cache
AND install zip from sdcard
Now I read that there is the BL issues which different between 2.2 & 2.3.
Can some direct me for what is the right steps for upgrade...
Thanks A lot.
Cm 7 works fine with froyo bl so you did Not have to worry about that
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
All Samsung Roms run on top of BML/RFS, CyanogenMod 7 does NOT.
It runs on MTD/yaffs2 (like Nexus One) which means you'll not able to flash just any kernel or run just any other filesystem you want. Use it as it is if possible, otherwise confirm with the kernel developer that you are trying to install whether it would work with CM. We do not support other kernels and know nothing about their capabilities or compatibility. Only the data partition, which is on movinand, is ext4 like on speedmod or voodoo ("lagfix"). No "lagfix" is necessary because this does not use any Samsung proprietary file systems.
First time flashing CM 7 to your Vibrant (or coming from another ROM)?
Easy way:
Start with a rooted Eclair/Froyo running Eclair/Froyo Bootloaders (do not ask us how to do this).
Install ROMManager Premium.
Flash ClockworkMod Recovery. Pick Vibrant (MTD) (ignore the warning about not having an official, pick ClockworkMod 2.x).
Make sure you can reboot into ClockworkMod recovery from ROMManager. Reboot and get back into ROMManager Premium.
Choose download ROMs.
Pick the CyanogenMod Nightlies.
Check the Google Apps addon.
Check Backup current ROM!
Check wipe data, cache, dalvik cache.
Let ROMManager finish the installation.
Hi.
Thank you both but i still didn't understand how to do this
1. I don't think i have ROM with 2.3 Bl
2. I don't know how to install one

Hi, I tried installing CM7 via the CWM/zip method, which appeared to succeed by actually resulted in a boot loop. Found a couple of messages from people with the same problems but no solution.
So. Does anyone have one of the CM7 ROMs in tar image format?

Sorry, I'm tired and read it wrong.
But it's worth trying to reflash Clockworkmod. Make sure it's the EXT4 and not the RFS version. I made that mistake before which got my CM7 stuck in a bootloop.
CM7 doesn't come in .tar format. It only comes in .zip format, which can be downloaded here:

Don't forget the Google Apps Package as well:

And the link I gave was multiupload, not megaupload.

my personal suggestion is to use Odin to flash the CWM recovery (use the 0.5 or 0.7 version, NOT the v0.6 tar files): once booted in the recovery, do the 4 wipes (if you have the phone fully charged; if not don't do the Battery Stats Wipe); usually I also use to format the partitions, you'll find that in the Mounts menu.
Now, always from the Mounts menu, mount the sdcard as USB mass storage and copy here all the files you need to flash: usually a upgrade-****** package, an hotfix and gapps (full or minimal package that's your choice). Unmount from PC and then unmount fro phone.
Now flash normally by Install zip from sdcard and do as always: first the update-***** archive, than the hotfix and finally the gapps ones.
Now reboot and enjoy!
That's my personal how-to, which never makes me falling into a bootloop!

hi brainvision im new to the gti5500 forum but hav been flashing roms on my wildfire for ages, my wife asked me to sort her mob out coz it kept messin up. so i did the dutiful thing and followed status's thread in the dev section and got a bootloop like a few other peeps on that thread but it doesnt seem to be any answer to this problem. i hav also tried installing the official firmware from sammobile but that jst loads the 3 screen then flashes samsung at me foreva. do you hav any suggestions of how i can fix this, im not bothered wot rom goes on as long as the mob is opperational for my wife.
thank you for your time
Did you perform data and cache wipe before flashing CM7 files and gapps package?
The way to install is always the same, so provide me some details or I cannot tell you more than that..

Posted in support thread and received no help so here we go
I have a rooted nook tablet with miui I've installed miui and cm9 with no trouble using cmv. But now when I try to install cm7 it says installation aborted what should i do? Or do i need to install it using a different method any help would be great thanks a lot
If this were my issue this is what I would do.
I would verify my md5 value is correct for my download (or re-download cm7 zip to make sure it is a good copy - download gapps for cm7 also).
Boot into cwm recovery and perform a wipe/factory reset.
Then I would install zip from sdcard - doing both cm7 and gapps at the same time.
I would then perform another wipe/factory reset just to make sure I got everything.
I would then boot system and hope that everything is correct.
I am assuming you are loading into emmc not sdcard method and it is a 16 Gb NT and not the 8 Gb.
Hope this helps.
