I have a samsung vibrant and I am very interested in downloading the CM7 Rom. However when I follow the directions on XDA I am not able to flash it all. Could someone please walk me through on how to flash the updated CM7 Rom??
1. Copy "cm7-vibrant-initial-20110304" and "vibrant-efsbackup" to your phone.
2. Make sure you are on a voodoo kernel. For example: Overstock
3. Have Odin ready with "cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel" in PDA. Make sure auto-reboot and auto partition are unchecked.
4. Turn off the phone
5. Enter recovery via 3 buttons and flash "vibrant-efsbackup"
6. Pull out battery and then enter download mode via 2 buttons and then flash the "cm7-vibrant-initial-kernel" using Odin.
7. Pull out the battery and enter recovery via 3 buttons and choose "mounts and storage" Wipe System, Cache, and Data.
8. Flash "cm7-vibrant-initial-20110304" and then data wipe/factory reset then reboot.
9. Let it sit for 15 min. Reboot. Flash Update.
Hit thanks if I helped.
Yup zer0nine pretty much explained it...... there also is a youtube video showing this look on you tube and do a search
which cm7-vibrant-initial-20110304 do I chose??
the ".zip" not the ".zip.md5"
yeah but their are two not one.
there's an initial kernel .tar file (which you need to flash through odin) and there is an initial .zip file (which is what you flash through the initial kernel's builtin CWM). There aren't "two" initial ones to flash.

Lol, how did you expect to enter recovery if you didn't flash it?
You need to flash the recovery first
work on getting the recovery flashed before installing custom ROMS. You can opt to choose Clockwork (ROM manager) through market or Amonra.. either ways would be fine.
Then go with the usual flashing after your done with the recovery.
Simplest thing is just go to market.
Search for Rom manager. after install click on it.
Then when it opens press the 1st from the top and you have ClockworkMod.
For flashing the ROM. Find the rom in file explorer or any file manager and click on it, it will prompt for rom manager. click rom manager and wipe dalvik cache and Wipe Data and cache..
No worries ,just install Rom-Manager -> flash clockwork mod recovery.
Then it will notify succesfully flashed clockwork mod recovery..
Try three buttons combo..
It will work .
hoping it will solve your problems.

Where to start.. In CWM after save villain on SD, just flash update.zip?
Coming from Another ROM
Ensure CWM recovery is available, do a CWM/nandroid backup and titanium backup, and put the zip onto the root of the internal SD.
Enter CWM, carry out a factory reset, and cache wipe, and flash the ROM via "Install zip from SD" option.
Reboot the phone into VillainROM, bearing in mind the first boot may take some time on the boot animation.

1. download and copy the villian zip file to your sd card after making a back up of your data.
2. go into cwm- boot into recovery, clean cache. Stay in recovery mode.
3. go advanced and clean dalvik cache. Stay in recovery mode
4 select install zip file.
5. choose zip from sd card, scroll down to the zip file you have download.
6. select and agree to install.
7. let it install, scroll back up to reboot system.
8. rom will install it may take up to 5 minutes for the first install.
You can scrool up down in recovery mode by using the volume keys. power button or homke button selects depending on what version of cwm you have.
back button returns you back on screen.

update: Instaled Villain 3.0 + Sk0pdr0id 1.6
I am pretty new at this. I have flashed the phone a couple of times after I updated to ICS through Kies (bad move)! Am currently using Gingerbread 2.3.6 but I now want to go back to a clean all new original stock firmware as my phone keeps randomly going into Kernel Panic Mode.
So, my Q is; Can I first go into recovery mode and wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, reboot phone and THEN flash with Odin? Meaning will the phone be capable of being flashed with Odin after all the wiping or will I need to save the firmware zip file on SD card and flash boot from there? I have the original stock firmware and I would like to have my phone as it was! I am NOT ROOTED nor do I want to be!
I just want my phone as it was! No more buggy bugs!
Please help! Have scoured the net, no answers to this particular question!

To have stock do this:
this is en example that help u flash with odin. (Proceed at your own risk)
Step by Step Instructions:
Download the Android Firmware
Extract the downloaded file ‘I9100XXKL1_I9100OXAKL1.rar’ to get these 3 files:
CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5
GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5
MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5
Download Odin software
Disconnect your phone if it’s connected to PC. Switch Off your phone. Wait for vibration to confirm complete switch off.
Now, put the Galaxy S2 in Download Mode — press and hold these keys together: Volume_DOWN+Home+Power.
this is required to install the XXKG1 using Odin PC Software.
Open Odin (from step 3) — Odin3 v1.85.exe.
Connect your phone to PC now. You should get the message “Added! !”
under the Odin’s message box in the bottom left. If you don’t get this message,
than probably there is a problem with drivers. Make sure you’ve drivers installed.
Important! On Odin, Do NOT tick the ‘Re-Partition’ checkbox, but keep the ‘Auto Reboot’ & ‘F.
Reset Time’ checkboxes ticked. Do not touch any other checkbox or tab or anything, except as required in step 9 below.
Select these files in Odin at respective tabs (check out the screenshot given at the top for help):
Click the PDA Tab, and select CODE_I9100XXKL1_CL783870_REV02_eng_mid_ship.tar.md5 (from step 2.1)
Click the Phone Tab, and select MODEM_I9100XXKL1_REV_02_CL1085162.tar.md5 (from step 2.3)
Click the CSC Tab, and select GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKL1.tar.md5 (from step 2.2)
Now, hit the START button to let the process begin.
When process at Odin finishes your phone will automatically reboot —
and you can unplug the cable then.
Plus, you’ll get a PASS (with green background) message in the left-most box at the very top of the Odin.
If it’s red and with FAIL written over it, the process flashing process wasn’t successful.

I ALREADY know that thanks very much, it would be nice to have a proper answer to the proper question I PROPERLY asked.
Yes.
You can factory reset via stock recovery no problems.
When you flash stock Samsung firmware via odin you will end up with a completely new and clean system as long as the factory reset has been done prior to flashing or if the firmware is a wipe version.
What you will still have is all the leftover directories and files on your internal sd card. You can simply delete all of these and factory reset.
There you go. Clean New stock firmware.

I can:
1. Go into recovery Mode on phone.
2. Wipe Data/Factory Reset
3. Wipe cache partition
4. Reboot phone
5. Flash stock firmware via Odin
......and then all is well?

Quote of the decade by JJE
"bushybox has gone for a shave so kindly leave the room."
I will be getting a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 tomorrow and I am interested in installing the PACMAN ROM
However, the instructions are not clear for me since I am new to all this. I've downloaded the roms, gapps and kernal and now the instructions say to:
'Put the files on your device
Reboot into recovery
Wipe dalvik cache
Install the zips (or do adb sideload if you want)
Reboot'
Since I have no experience with android devices, I am not sure how to do these steps. I've tried searching on Youtube but there aren't any tutorials for SGP's. I am aware that I need to do a full wipe since I am going from GB to JB (so I need to delete data, dalvik, system and dbdata). It also says to do a backup if anything goes wrong, which I am not too sure how to do as well.
If someone could explain these instructions clearly to me, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

put your device in download mode (hold down power and volume down) and flash entropy's kernel with odin.
then you will have clockworkmod recovery, which you can boot into by holding power and volume up.
in clockworkmod, you can make a backup, wipe data, and install the rest of the stuff.
you could even do all of this without ever booting up the stock rom.
This is what I do/did...
I used this tutorial to flash CWM and root
http://m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
Download SuperOneClick and
Download Odin. Follow tutorial.
Odin can be used to flash ROMs or kernels and to flash CWM.
Download the Pacman ROM and a kernel and put it on your External SD card.
Use ROM Manager from the play store to reboot into Recovery mode (easiest way) or volume up and power button at the same time as the Samsung flashes after you first boot your device.
From recovery mode you can wipe dalvik cache etc, but if this is a new device, you shouldn't have to factory reset or wipe cache (I think) If you're buying a used device, wipe and reset.
You're in recovery mode still, navigate to-
"Load zip from external SD card" and select it. Navigate to the Pacman zip and select it.
You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select using the power button.
Navigate back to main screen in recovery mode and select Reboot System.
Do the same thing to flash a kernel. If the kernel has clockwork mod integrated, load the kernel first.
I use Xplore to move files around, it's quick and easy.
The reason ppl tell you to back up any data is, they have data they want to keep. If this is a new device, you don't have anything worth saving, such as contacts apps etc.

After I flashed the kernel, it said 'PASS' on the Odin screen but now my device keeps rebooting, and it won't stop! D:
I can enter CWM Recovery, and I tried wiping data/factory reset and I've wiped cached partition but it still keeps rebooting.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've googled this problem for 3 hours but haven't found a solution
what exactly did you do in cwm?
did you install pac rom?
if not, try installing (using install zip from sdcard) it directly over gb, after doing a full wipe.
also install gapps the same way

I followed instructions on this website;
m.androidauthority.com/galaxy-player-5-0-android-2-3-6-root-clockworkmod-recovery-116474/
(I can't post links, but its the website that HOG1 posted above)
I got up to step 7, but my device kept rebooting after that. So I went in CWM recovery by holding POWER and UP buttons and wiped my data and cache but it still kept rebooting.
And I can't flash any roms since I still haven't rooted the device. I couldn't use entropy's kernel because I have an INTL Galaxy Player.

Would that work, even though I haven't rooted my device yet? Since I haven't done the steps under 'Rooting the Galaxy Player 5.0' on the link HG1 sent.
oh you have an intl device. in that case, you'll have to install cm9 first, power down, boot up into recovery and install pac rom
you dont have to be rooted for this

Okay, but in the CM9 thread the first thing it says for installation is 'Make sure your device is ROOTED' and mine is not - so are you sure it will work? I just don't want to brick my device or anything, just got it today xD
to install cm9, boot into recovery, and go to mounts and storage, then select the mount usb storage (connect your usb cable to your computer first)
then copy a cm9 rom zip over (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1679957)
you should be fine
if something fails for some reason, try installing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144 via odin (put your device in dl mode).
this is a rooted stock rom

All this INTL and US device stuff just throws wrenches into everything. The link I posted says it's for INTL and US devices. Apparently not the case.
I have intl kernel on my US device and it works fine, not sure why the reverse isn't true. Weird.
I use the INTL kernel because I like the governors choices.

Yeah it sucks that Samsung made different devices for different regions...Makes no sense..
But yeah, I installed CM9 and when I selected to reboot my phone from the actual ROM it said 'Rebooting...' and now its been like this for 30mins or so... :| I guess I'll have to wait for the battery to drain or something, but as soon as it does I'll wipe data, etc and install PACMAN with the new kernel and gapps. Sucks that you can't take the battery out the phone, I don't think the phone is actually gonna reboot.
EDIT: NEVERMIND, I JUST SAW ONLINE THAT YOU CAN SWITCH IT OFF BY HOLDING DOWN THE POWER BUTTON AND HOME BUTTON...Yeah I'm totally new to Android and Samsung xD
Or you could hold the power and volume up buttons to go into Recovery mode and reboot from there.

Hi everyone. This is my first post here and also my first time trying to load a custom ROM. Could a kind user please provide me with a thorough guide on how to ZIP install Entropy's kernel (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445840) and then ZIP install Chip 1.5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737432)?
1. Is your device rooted? If it is, then you can skip to step 2. If not, download SuperOneClick, plug in your device (make sure USB debugging is enabled), and click "root."
2. Download the DD_01142012.tar file in Entropy's thread.
3. Download Odin. After that, hold the down button and the power button. Your device should be in Download Mode. Click on "PDA" in Odin and select the file you downloaded.
4. After that, download Chip's ROM unto your SD card or unto your Galaxy Player.
5. Hold the power button and the up button (you should be in CWM), wipe your data, cache, and Davik cache (go to "Advanced" to wipe this). Click on "Install zip from SD card," find Chip's ROM, and install it.
