How to install CyanogenMod 7.1

How to install CyanogenMod 7.1 stable version? CM7.1 is base on Android 2.3.7

I assume that you are from stock kernel and not rooted.

TODO:
1. Download CM7.1 stable version
2. Backup you current application to APK file format and copy to your PC. You need it after CM7 installation completed. How to backup file to APK? Click here


How to install CM7.1?
1. Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

If you do not know how to root your current ROM. Try steps inside two links below. It will ROOT and install ClockworkMod Recovery by default.
Note: If you had rooted your current rom and have Recovery Mode, continue with next steps

2. Copy "update-cm-7.1.0-GalaxyS-signed.zip" into you phone SD Card. Rename it to "update.zip"

3. Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo (Volume Up+Home+Power button)
4. Do a backup! Best practise
5. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition + Dalvik)
6. Install "update.zip" from internal sdcard using Recovery Mode
7. DONE. Sit back and relax
This is what you will get.

Note: 
  • You will have clean CyanogenMod 7.1. Very FAST!
  • No Google or Samsung apps. Need to download and install separately
  • Do not use new market. Download Old Market and copy into you phone SD Card.
  • Remove "marketupdater.apk" and "vending.apk" using DarkyROM tool. Install this first.
 Copy Old Market "market.2.3.4.apk" into "Darky/uninstalled/sys" folder

 Uninstall "marketupdater.apk" and "vending.apk"
Install "market.2.3.4.apk".  DONE. You will have Old Market and continue your download business. :)

You can't download google apps from old market? You did not see most of the google apps? I will show you how to download it after the break... coming soon

  9. To flash CM7 you just need root and recovery mode.

    Reverse back to stock. clean stock.Flash stock rom via odin. factory reset. You may choose either JVS or JVT. Available in this blog.

    Guru! So sorry, I did a mistake by myself. I enable the usb connected with "Turn on USB storage" to cause the issue. Problem solved. Thx!
