I don't have that phone (saw this thread in forums on app ) but if you mean installing in recovery here a fast guide


Root ur phone
Install a recovery (i have clock work mod )

When you installed ur recovery
In your recovery
-backup and restore choose backup
- when it's done do factory reset and wipe cache
-then select update from sd card and choose select update from sd card
-choose ur cm rom wait when done reboot & enjoy

I HOPE I HELPED YOU :)

adb reboot recovery

did you try that or download goo manager from playstore and tell it to reboot into recovery
play store shows Goo manager is not compatible with my device.so alternatively i installed from mirror sites and tries to installed but got parser error while installing...

boot to recovery

Hi, there are several ways to boot in recovery, i use two:

1-with s7 connected to pc execute "adb reboot recovey"

2-with s7 powered off, click "menu + call (green button) + power" for 30 seconds, or until the cwm menu apear.

There is several version of cwm for the s7-10x, depends in version of installed firmware, the more recent one that works best is version 6.1.2 by ere, google is your best friend to find it, if not tell me and i will upload the file.

Hope it helps,

Hi, i havent try cm9 by asturel, you can try flash it again, the problem is that cm9 and cm10 needs special kernel to boot, diferent then the stock kernel.
if the device does not boot in 10 minutes some thing wrong happended, you can try flash the kernel first and then the roms, inside the zip file there is a file "boot.img" thats the kernel, steps :

1-backup the working rom :) , always a good ideia :good:
2-boot in fast mode "vol up+home+power", fastboot mode apear on screen
3-connect s7 to pc, execute "fastboot flash boot boot.img", the boot.img file must be on same directory as fastboot
4-to reboot execute "fastboot reboot"
5-menu+call+power go to cwm install zip file, install the rom

If doest work, try other rom, there is several model of s7-10x, not all rom are compatible
