Flashing CM9 freezes mid install

[marksman34]

So I have been trying to flash CM9 for the past couple of days, at first it worked just fine but I forgot google apps, so I went back to recovery and flashed gapps. After that it wouldn't leave the boot screen. I used odin to put a stock ICS rom on, then flashed clockwork and now every time I try to install cm9 It just stops on "installing." Did I miss something very simple and obvious or what?

How long are you letting it sit on "install"?

I've tried several time's usually only a few minutes, but at one point I left to the store and came back like an hour later and it was still on installing. Had to pull the battery every time, then I have to use odin because I can't get into recovery.

You need to follow the instructions to the letter .... and when you get it flashed if it don't boot go back into stock recovery and wipe data and it should boot

OK, I'm going through it again, but I did forget to mention one thing that might be important. After I odin CWM, my current rom does not boot though I can boot to cwm. Is that expected?

The directions say go back and flash cm7 are you trying to go from ics to cm9 ? If so your risking a brick be safe

Oh damn, there is a CM7? I can't find that one at all. Any help on that would be appreciated. However I did just get past the install so maybe it will work(hopefully without creating a brick).

EDIT: It booted seems to be working well. I would like a cm7 link if any one has it though, just in case

You can use miui 2.3 from tcp its the same kernel in cm7
