Talking Perfect guide to install cyanogen mod 7

Cyanogen mod is a great one. I installed on 24/5 and it took me 1 day to install that. Because i made a mistake installing 1.7 2nd init .

I don't want any others to get into trouble by a small mistake.


STEPS:
1.Install RSD lite.

IT IS GOOD TO FACTORY RESET AND WIPE CACHE ON STOCK RECOVERY BEFORE YOUR FLASH.

2.Download an froyo sbf .I recommend this ( http://depositfiles.com/en/files/tjnmh6d98 ) 3.4.3-11 "The latest 2.2.1".

3.Flash it on keeping your phone in boot loader mode by pressing volume up +power .

5.Dont unplug your phone until you get a good result (PASS).

4.Now skip or configure motoblur and keep your phone ready.

5.Now download gingerbreak.apk and Root your phone (www.mediafire.com/?it8h9z1dbta50i0 ) v 1.20 is the latest

6.Download cyanogen mod (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1033654 )

7.Download Google apps (http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ )

8.Copy both the zip files on to your sd card

NOW U HAVE ROOTED UR PHONE AND YOU ARE NEARLY READY TO INSTALL CM7!!

"DONT DOWNLOAD AND USE 2ND INIT V 1.7 BECAUSE CM7 WONT WORK ON IT"

9.Download 2nd init v 1.4.2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1032212 )

10.Install recovery on your phone and reboot twice fully till your home screen

11.When you reboot you will be automatically taken into recovery.

IF RECOVERY DOESNT COME THEN PRESS VOLUME DOWN BUTTON WHEN BLUE LIGHT COMES DURING BOOTUP

IF U ARE CAUGHT IN A BOOT LOOP THEN GO INTO STOCK RECOVERY AND WIPE YOUR DATA AND CACHE

EVEN IF U ARE IN BOOTLOOP U CAN ACCESS RECOVERY AND BOOT INTO BLUR

12.Go into recovery --> custom recovery and format data and cache and wipe cache

13.Install zip ---->Choose zip from sd card-----> cyanogen mod7 zip file

DONT WIPE OR FORMAT DATA OR CACHE AFTER INSTALLING CM7

14.Install google apps (gapps) zip by the same method and reboot your phone

15.Go to boot ---->2nd init

NOW YOU WILL GET CM7 LOGO.........WAIT FOR A FEW MINUTES UR SCREEN WILL DIM ...........

NOW U WILL BE TAKEN TO YOUR HOME SCREEN OF CM7!!!!!!

IF UR GETTING CM7 LOGO THEN U R !! PASS !!

I think you have wiped your cache and formatted your data and cache after installing cm7 rite??...........me too had this once..........u have to format and wipe only one time that is before installing cm7.

Start again
