search for 'Task 29'
Go to the ROM Section and look for a thread on flashing ROM for Noobs. Read it. If you plan to do any of the tasks, then read it again.
as said above do task29 and everything will be wiped off ur device but read carefully so u dont make any mistake....
good luck

HI everyone
I have samsung galaxy s2 AT&T SGH-I777 Cyanogen mod 7.1 versione android 2.3.7
I notice almost everyone have already last version 4.0.3 so the question when will be avaiable for cyanogen 7???
I have one rom manager PRO and i tried to check if avaiable new update but still not yet but im afraid that rom manager wont work or maybe coming too much delay?
Someone could please explain me about it?
Thank
You need cyanogenmod9 not 7. 7 is gingerbread and 9 is ics

in short, CM7 is based off Gingerbread and CM9 is based off ICS. If you want ICS, flash CM9 or one of the other roms in the dev section(s).
CM9

You need to read around a LOT more.
First off, don't use ROM Manager on a Galaxy S2.
Second, no, there is no version of 4.0.3 for CM7 because cm7 itself is 2.3.7. What you want is CyanogenMod 9.
EDIT: Ninja'd! That took me much longer to type than I thought it did. :S
Has anyone mentioned to you that you need cm9 for ics?
Oh there it is.

hmmm so i have to flash cm9 but is stable ? Too bad that im not good experience how to flash (cause i didnt even tried first time...i got cyanogen from china already installed).
I dont wanna finish brick or tilt telephone lol maybe i have to give support if someone know how to work this update.....is true talking about Mod is not automatic update need always do something manual...like odin ( i dont know either how to use odin anyway but i heard most ppl use it)
Edit= worse im not good english either but italian doh..

You can use TB to backup apps and data. Just remember when you're restoring apps on your new rom, DO NOT restore system apps/data. It will royally screw things up. The best course of action would be to manually select which games/apps to restore with data. The rest of your apps you should just redownload from the Play Store.
As for ROM Manager, it can just mess things up on this phone. You don't need it though...you can do everything you need to do with CWM Recovery or Mobile Odin.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here...all you have to do it flash CM9 in CWM...
EDIT: But make a nandroid backup first!
CMW = ClockWorkMod
Also, should he not follow the basic instructions for first time flashers so he can undo whatever the hell the Chinese dude did?

@matt,
I thought ROM Manager still works perfectly for any CyanogenMod ROM, CM7 or CM9. It's just highly recommended NOT to use with any other ROM that not-CM.
@OP, I strongly suggest you spend much more time reading and make sure you understand the whole process of making the CM9 on your device. In fact, it will save you more time than just keep flashing it, bricking it and hunting for help.

For cm7 it was okay for downloading but not flashing as i understood it but cm9 can make full use of it. Correct me if I'm wrong anyone.

If you already have a kernel with ClockworkMod, you don't need to worry about flashing one before flashing CM9.
Here is what you need to do:
1. Nandroid backup.
2. Download latest CM9 and GAPPS
3. Do a full wipe in ClockworkMod
4. Flash CM9 in ClockworkMod
5. Flash GAPPS in ClockworkMod

you know what ROM manager is?
ITS A GUI INTERFACE FOR CWM
you can boot into CWM directly and do anything that ROM manager can do except download the rom....
we have stickies outlining all this stuff already, not sure why thats a totally new concept for folks these days

Hey guys,
I wanted to ask if its possible to get a custom Kernel and rooting my international S3 without losing all my apps?
I just dont wanna use Titanium since it would take forever since i've got alot of apps etc.
I've rooted and put a custom rom on another phone a few years ago and i still remember this would delete all your content as you install a new rom,
and i would like to ask if i can avoid that?
Best regards,
DrLuigi

rooting and installing a kernel does not wipe data and you also do not have to wipe it
even flashing a rom does not wipe data, except you choose to wipe it (which is recommend if you change android versions)
CF auto root, guide on how to use it in general forum, stickies. It won't wipe your phone.
Please search before starting new threads.
Do you guys perhaps know a good kernel that can go along with the stock rom that should be safe to not wipe my whole phone?
I know you shouldnt ask for the best rom and such, But this is a specific question.
Thanks for the help.

there are so many: devil, boeffla, googy_max are just some examples I know which work with the stock rom and they are all great (the other ones i have maybe forgotten as well), just try them out and choose the one that suits you best.
and don't be scared: they won't wipe your data
